Chapter 1: Red Club
A long time ago, there lived a dream. A small dream that was close to not existing into anyone's dream. It traveled from house to house trying to get the people to dream of it but… they would already be dreaming of something else. This happened time after time until the dream stopped and thought. 'If this keeps going on, soon no one will even remember me. I don't want to vanish! There must be a way, there must! I must bring the humans to my world, but how? I've got it! Hehe…. I'll let the people create their own little world instead yes, it's perfect!'
So the little dream carried on searching for humans to carry out his dream. It soon reached into a small town near a forest and spotted a lady with short brown hair and red eyes. She wore a red dress with a white apron and brown high boots. The woman was fighting a wooden dummy with a small dagger.
'Ah, so this woman wants to be a warrior. Hmm, I think I can do that.'
Later the woman stopped a looked a clock tower. ' Wow midnight already? I better get home to get some sleep for work tomorrow.' She began walking down a cobble street with the lights dimming around her. Finally she went inside an english cottage that was painted white with vertical wood. The roof was made of dark oak and four windows were found in the front. Her bedroom was on the second floor with a window facing the town. The room had old red paint that was beginning to peal and a silver brass bed. She laid down with the door open and began to doze off.
The dream smiled and turned into a beige doll with stitches across its' mouth and limbs. There were no eyes but black holes that was as dark as a void. It wobbled next to the bed staring down at the woman and gave a grin. With a wave of its' arm, a foggy mist began to spread around the bed.
"Sleep dreams."
The woman soon woke up to see that she was outside in the forest. Her eyes wandered around her surroundings while chills went through her body. "What's going on? Where am I?"
"You are in wonderland and your name here is Alice." said a small voice.
"Wonderland? Is this some kind of joke?"
Silence fell for a few minutes until the doll appeared before her holding a red rose. "I'm serious. I saw you practicing with a wooden figure a while ago. It seems you want to be a warrior and this place can grant you that gift."
"W-What do you mean?"
The doll pointed at a small building and then pointed at her hand. "On your hand in a red spade, this marks you as the ruler in this wonderland. The town over there needs your help, it seems some crime has been happening and only you can help them."
"But how can I help?"
"Your dagger has turned into a sharp sword that warriors use. It can cut through anything. Oh, I better get going. Have fun in Wonderland, haha."
"Wait-" screamed Alice. Her head dropped looking down at the dirt underneath her feet. Alice, Wonderland, ha! I better go to that town and ask for some directions."
Alice continued to walk through the forest until she got to the town. It was silent with no one in sight. "I knew that that thing was lying. Huh? What's that noise.?" The woman walked closer until she gasped in horror of what it was. A dark figure with a long snout and sharp teeth was eating a villager while the its' claws scratched the body with blood spilling off from the cuts. Donkey like ears perked up and the head turned looking at Alice. A low growl was heard while the snout was inches away from Alice's face. Slowly the jaws began to rise with a stench of the dead blew at her face.
'At this rate, I'm going to get eaten!' her right hand gripped tightly on the sword as her mind overwhelmed with emotions. Quickly her hand slice at the creature's side when it began to attack. A loud cry from the beast woke up the town with lights from each house glowing. Alice stared into the beast's red eyes and took one final swing cutting the creature in half. Blood spurted on her apron and face. Her sword drizzled with blood dripped each second. 'I better get leave before the people accuse me!' she thought as she began running towards the woods. As she turned she saw figures circling around the dead bodies and shaking their heads in worry on who might have done it.
Her hand rested on an oak tree as she panted for breath. 'I saved someone. I'm a hero. But… I mustn't let them know who it is. I will be their guardian and protect them from these foul beasts. Soon I will show myself when I have shown that I am an ally.'
Soon, weeks has passed since the first ALice came to wonderland. She lost count of how many creatures she had slain but she did know that the killing had resulted in her leaving a bloody path that followed her. 'Hmm, there isn't as many people as I had remembered. Could have they gotten killed by those monsters? NO, I've been killing anything that comes close to the town. I better look around.' Alice walked up and town the streets until she found a paper flying into her hands. She began reading quietly to herself near an alley. "Dead or Alive, A creature that has been known for killing the towns people or anything that has been getting in it's way. Rewarded gold for bringing in the monster. I can do this, then the town will have to accept me.'
The doll soon picked up the paper and gave a sad face. "It seem's that this Alice does not know who the monster is. She must disappear, she is not the Alice I had hoped for."
Another week had passed and she carried a head of some creature she found in the woods. Her hands and sword was completely covered in blood. She went into the mayor's building which was near the center of the town. Her eyes noticed many people in the building talking with worried faces. Opening the wooden door with her bloody hands she gave a happy smile. "I found the monster, Mayor."
The town's people around her covered their faces and screamed in horror. "Monster, MONSTER, MURDERER, KILLER!" The mayor trembled before Alice and looked into her red eyes. "That head your holding is not the monster, but it is you who is!"
"What? What do you mean?"
"She's the one that has been killing the people of this town! Kill her, KILL her!" the crowd chanted over and over. Guards came and held tightly onto both of Alice's arms and made her drop the human head. The crowd followed as they put her in a cage that had locks covering the cage. Alice screamed and kicked with all her might but it was no use. The town was against her and threw food and shoes at her cage while screaming and swearing with all their might. This happened day after day until the doll appeared before her.
"You lied to me."
"What do you mean? You created this Wonderland."
"But you promised that I would be a warrior, does this look like a place for a warrior?"
"Your right, here and your world you are forever going to be the joker in this cage. I hope you stay there forever." the doll said while walking away from her.
Alice shouted with rage and looked at her hand. 'The spade, where's my mark? Where? I thought I was the ruler of the Wonderland? WHy? WHY?"
"You are no longer the Alice, a new one shall take your place," the doll said under its' breath. "hehe, HAHAHAHA!"
