Chapter 1: Believe
"Do you believe in Tooth Fairy, Alice?"A man asked the girl in front of him. The girl's eyes were casting downward, not looking at the man in front of her. She had pitched black hair, past shoulder length. A pair of emerald eyes, flawless, pale skin. Her lips were rosy red. A young lady at the peak of women beauty. She wore a whole blue dress, it is knee-long with short puffy sleeves. A white pinafore over the dress, there were bloodstains on it. On the pockets of her pinafore were the signs of Eris and Jupiter. The bow of her back pinafore had a small skull in the center. She was wearing knee-high black boots, and a pair of black and white striped stocking. To complete her whole attire, a Omega pendant with silver chain around her neck.
The girl, namely Alice Liddell upon hearing her own name, she looked up at the man in front of her. The man wore a black tall hat with black veil attached to the hat, covering his face. He wore a black coat, a pair of same black trouser. Inside his coat was a white shirt with a black necktie neatly place into his coat like a formal office worker. A black satin cloth was place upon his left shoulder and pulled down to his right waist, neatly tied into a little bow. Obviously, he is a undertaker. Behind the veil, Alice could make out that he was smirking.
"I don't believe in Fairy Tale." Alice told the man. That only made the man's grin wider.
"Yet, Alice. You still believe in your own wonderland." The man said to Alice. Alice only looked up to the street lamp above them.
"My wonderland is my…life."
"Yet, uncountable amount of women already ditch that wonderland, the piece of mind which is fantasy and wonder."
"Not as fantasy as everyone know."
"A dark side, the reality."
Alice silent for awhile, then she looked back at the man. The veil suddenly become darker, covering his face completely from Alice.
"Do you or do not believe is hard for yourself to decide now. The decision of your own have long lost, yet the characters of your wonderland had been your path of life, your decision is their guideline. Thousand of personality to judge, may it be good or bad, you will always hint on one, the Cheshire Cat. So now, do you believe in Tooth Fairy?" The man asked, his fingers joined together and placed under his chin.
Alice turned beside her and saw an enormous cat beside her, it was so skinny that its bones were almost visible, as if it only covered by its furless, gray skin. It also had an extraordinary longneck, sharp claws and pointy ears. Weirdly, the cat wore a gold hoop earring at his right ear. It was also wearing a disturbing human-like smile on its face. The undertaker was now looking at the cat as well. The Cheshire Cat only smiled.
"Do you know, Alice? That Tooth Fairy is a guardian of memory." The undertaker asked Alice, before Alice answers that question the undertaker stood up and looked down at Alice at his new angle.
"Do I believe in Tooth Fairy, Cheshire?" Alice asked Cheshire, both human now had their eyes on focused at Cheshire Cat.
"Believe or not. Teeth have been playing a huge role in your life than you know. "The Cheshire Cat deep voice almost sounded like echo around the empty street.
"Look above you, Alice." The undertaker suddenly spoke, he gestured upward the sky. Alice looked at the undertaker then to Cheshire Cat. Cheshire meanwhile like usual, only smirked at Alice. Hesitantly Alice looked up the sky. To her amuse, there were uncountable hummingbirds buzzing above them. Each green and blue hummingbirds flew into the houses of London citizen and flew out after a splits of second, holding something in their… tiny little arms? Only then it hit Alice, it wasn't hummingbirds she looking at. Hummingbirds don't fly at night and most likely they don't have arms. Closely inspection, they looked more like…Fairy.
Before Alice realized herself, she stood up from the bench she sat and twirled around with both of her arms stretched upward the sky. A smile was on her face, not the smirk she always had on her face but a genuine smile. Her blue dress twirled along with her as she twirled round and round. Then suddenly Alice stopped. Having to live in the Wonderland with mad creatures ready to tear you apart, it hone your six senses to a point where you could easily sense another human presence around you. Behind the undertaker stood a person, shadow covering the person's face.
