A Girl Named 'Alice'

Lady Moon-Chan

AN: It's been so long it's pathetic. I hope you guys can forgive me. Anyway:

Based on the lyrics to 'Still Doll' (the Vampire Knight ending). A lonely little girl named Alice receives a Rozen Maiden doll, and is plunged into the middle of the Alice Game. Not to mention the mysterious black-clad doll, who seems to have a vendetta against Alice...PG-13, may go up. Warnings: character death, creepiness, blood, AU

Disclaimer: I don't own Rozen Maiden, no matter HOW much I wish I did.

Prologue: Noch Doll

She hates them so much. Dolls and dolls and dolls. So many dolls from the father who is never home. The father who hates her for taking her mother away. But she doesn't want dolls. She wants a friend to talk to and play with.

But no one will come near her. They say she's cursed. She killed her own mother by being born, and then there's what happened to her sister Adrina. She can barely remember. Standing by the pond on a picnic with father. Adrina was eight. She was four. Adrina had taken her doll Rose Mary. She wanted it back. The screaming of two little girls. Then suddenly, she had Rose Mary in her hands and Adrina was sinking into the lake, unable to swim because of her heavy petticoats.

So the other children and their parents say she's cursed. She killed her own mother and sister, and even her father can't stand her company. There are maids to care for her, of course, But even they are too scared of her curse to befriend her. And without anyone to talk to or play with, Alice became as silent and still as a doll. A doll the size of an eight-year-old girl, with golden hair and jade green eyes.

AN: Review, please. And no flames, please. This is severely severely AU, so...
