Chapter 1 Cold and WTF!

"Cold it was cold, wait scratch that it was freezing."You had thought as you huddled against the thin sheets of newspaper or more specifically the Gotham Gazette the words printed on the slightly wet papers were not of the top quality you knew because you knew the words written on there by heart May 1, 2017, Jervis Tetch escapes Arkham!Blondes advised staying indoors!You had no idea who this Jervis fellow was but your skin had crawled every time you read about him he intrigued you the main reason why was because the picture that was taken to identify the man was very blurry and almost unrecognisable plus all the other storeys were terribly bland and sighed as you rolled over for the hundredth time that night listening to the heavy droplets of rain that continued fall on your poorly main tin turned around again to unable comfortable RIIIIPP.You inwardly cringed, even though the paper had provided you with anything but warmth the sound of it made you start to cry, it was all you had left besides you dirty rags it reminded you just how alone you were in this vast world you had nowhere to go no other decent places to sleep your family was brutally murdered shortly after the Arkham breakout a month thoughts only made you start to cry harder than you had ever allowed yourself to in your how you wanted to stop, you inwardly chastised yourself for your tears 'Get ahold of yourself, Alice, there's no use crying over ripped paper' you thought to yourself so instead of crying you allowed yourself to scream into the concrete just as silly as crying (perhaps even worse than crying) but you were so frustrated and tired you were tired of trying to survive this everyday hell that was Gotham that's when it clicked Death death sounded so sweet but crual this thought had never accured to you before but you liked it you had liked it a laughed a little at what it would feel like to fly what the wind would feel like as it rushed past your face, and and the hard hit of the concrete at the end of your intimidating suggestion even if there wasn't a God to take her in after death silence sounded like a good a friend as ever to accompany her in the afterlife.

You thought about the different (and preferably least painful)ways you should end your life when you heard someone call your name

'Alice' you shook it off thinking that the lack of food and sleep had caused your mind to start playing tricks on you but then you heard it again 'Alice' a little louder than before but still this was a bit unnerving but being the curious girl you were your curiosity took over you in an instant, so you slowly but very cautiously peeked your head out of your shelter and saw...nothing and heard nothing else but the let out a heavy sigh.'Its just your nerves Alice there's no one there' you told yourself but that didn't help calm you down."Alice?"

'okay that sounded too close and too real' You thought as you slowly turned pursed your lips and furrowed your eyebrows as you came eye to eye with the rim of a velvet midnight blue top looked up to see a big nose and tufts of messy blonde hair peeking out from where the hat rested snugly on his person in question's eyes was shadowed in the low light by a beautiful deep blue velvet textured with intricate swirls made up his long coat and a forest green waistcoat laid neatly over a messy dress shirt, a comically large teal bow tie topped off the look fit for the appearance of the Mad Hatter.

"Alice" He murmured just above the loud sound of rain pounding on metal.

You chuckled partly out of fear you gave him a small smile "Can I help you with something"You said nonchalauntly, not entirely in the mood for a conversation.

"Your name wouldn't happen to be Alice by any chance ?"A large grin began to spread across his face, a slight gap in between his front entire being seemed to light up with excitement and joy, he was practically hesitated"Yesss it is, now if that was all you needed to know I would like to go back to sleeping." you said as you began to retreat back into your 'home'

"Oh, frabjous day! Callooh callay," he exclaimed as his cold fingers laced with yours as he forced you to your feet as he began to drag you to heaven knows where. "Come, my Alice were late for tea!"

"Don't touch me!" You yelled as you tried to free yourself from his vice grip, holding back tears."Oh, Alice," he crooned. "Where do you think you're going?"You started to panic and with your free hand, you began to hit him as hard as you could repeatedly.

But in a moment he had you pinned against the wall and you felt something suddenly being tucked behind her ear.

"I'm sorry Alice…"He grunted, "But you leave me with no other choice."

Your mind felt fuzzy for a moment before everything went dark.
