In the Glass
Chapter 1: Stranger
It was a calm, beautiful, sunny day. There were no clouds in the sky. Alice was walking down the worn dirt road,hand in hand with Boris. Behind them was the mafia boss, Blood Dupre, and his right hand man, Elliot March.
"Thanks again, Blood for inviting us to your tea party." said Alice, breaking the comfortable silence. "No problem, it's nice having someone else who can enjoy the refined taste of my tea."."Well you do always have the best te-""Alice, forget about the tea! You have to try the new carrot soufflé!" Elliott interrupted yet again to speak of some 'amazing' new carrot dish. Blood groaned in irritation and disgust while Boris and Alice laughed."How many times must I tell you Elliott, that your horrid carrot deserts do not go with my tea. If anything, they ruin it." Elliot looked like a kicked puppy. "B-but Blood, I love them! They're delicious! How could you say that? Please don't tell me you're going to take them away?!"
To any unsuspecting bystander, this would seem like a normal, and ridiculous, argument between friends. At first glance you wouldn't be able to tell that the top hat adorned man and his rabbit eared friend were cold-blooded killers, just long time friends. Laughter replaced the silence of the forest. I'm glad I decided to stay in this world with Boris and everyone. I want things to be like this forever' thought Alice.
All of a sudden, Boris stopped dead in his tracks and sniffed the air. "Boris, what's wrong?" He opened his eyes as he spoke 'I smell blood' Elliot and Blood gave a knowing glance at each other. "Boris, lead us to it. Alice stay close to us." Boris glanced at Alice, hesitating, before nodding and heading off.
"It's getting stronger, we must be close!" They were running now. They wanted to get to whoever it was before they died. "I see something up ahead! I-its a person!"
They stopped just before the body. It was a girl, she looked about 16 or 17. She had long white hair sprawled around her head. She was wearing what seemed to be a hospital gown that had many rips and tears. She was covered in dirt and blood. She had many scars on her arms, legs, and even a few on her chest. Some of them seemed years old while others looked fairly new, perhaps even weeks or days old. But what alarmed them most were the three large gashes on her side seeping blood.
" oh my god! We have to help her! Blood, your mansion is closest, lets take her there." Blood nodded and looked to Elliot. Elliot stepped forward while taking off his shirt. He wrapped it around her wound and lifted her up. As she was raised up, something fell out of her hand. Alice reached down and picked it up. It was a small blue glass vial. "N-no way. There's no way." They all turned to look at her. "What's wrong Alice?" Still looking at the vial in her hand, Alice reached into her pocket and pulled out her own pink one. Holding them up for them to see she spoke " She's an outsider."
