This is a small side story to my main story Follow Me Down Down Down, just doing this cuz it popped in my head. Keeping me busy till I think of more for the main story.


It had been a peaceful day at the Clock Tower. Alice had paid Julius and Sadie a visit since she didn't have anything to do. When Alice walked into Julius's office, she saw him working and Sadie napping on the couch. She walked over to Sadie's side and said,"Hey Sadie." At first there was no response so she poked at Sadie's stomach. There was a strange growl that erupted from her throat before she turned over. "Sadie!" Alice said while poking her sides, causing the red head to jump and fall off the couch. She glared at the girl who stood and rubbed her sore bum.

"Ouch. Why'd you go and do that! I was having a wonderful nap."

"I wanted to see if you wanted to do something today?" Alice asked as she helped Sadie up. While stretching she threw a look at Julius.

"If the boss doesn't have anything for me to do." Julius waved his hand as in saying, 'Yes, go away and let me work in peace.' So Sadie followed Alice out of the tower and onto a random path. "So where were you thinking of going?" Sadie questioned.

"I'm not sure. I kind of feel like just walking around." So they walked, and walked, and walked. Sadie, growing bored began to hum a strange tone. Alice turned to her and asked what song she was humming.

"Now I have no idea. It's this weird song with like an accordion playing in my head... Hey Alice look!" She exclaimed as she pointed to a rusty (or dried blood) sword sticking out of the ground. Alice warned her not to go near it, so Sadie just got a bit closer. "Cool, it's got a spade on it... now I'm bored let's go." Sadie started off in another direction. Alice gave the sword one last weary glance before following Sadie. They soon came upon a small gathering of homes. Faceless people came out to greet them. One of them was an old woman, which seemed to be rare in Heartland. She held out a plate that had four small cakes on it, each with a card suite on them. Sadie, never turning down cake, and forgetting what her parents told her about Stranger Danger, she took the cake with a red spade on it. Alice was a little weary about taking one, but she did out of kindness, picking the one with the green club. Both girls munched on their cakes and gave the old lady a thank you before continuing on their pointless journey.

After walking some time, Sadie started to feel a stomachache coming on, so they stopped to rest.

"Yeah, I'm starting to get one too," Alice said while wiping the sweat from her brow.

"That old lady must have poisoned us! Alice-... I really... don't feel-" Sadie couldn't finish her sentence before she passed out.

"Sadie!" Alice took one step towards her before her vision started to blur. What's happening? I feel... Alice thought before she too, passed out.


I wonder if anyone could guess what is going to happen. I do leave a nice juicy clue. can you find it?
