a/n: Hello, and welcome to, my Alice Madness Returns story! This will be a long book, and since my muse is low for everything else, I've decided to do this instead.
Disclaimer: EA and Spicy Horse own Alice Madness Returns, I do not. I only own Abigail and Doctor Phillips, Thomas and Chester.. Idea of Alice disappearing belongs to me.
Chapter One
All I remember of her was her face and that little rabbit she used to carry around. When the fire started I rushed to her room, afraid she was gone. Instead, I saw a man, he looked at me, then smiled. All I could see was his smile. Then he was gone, with the only thing I ever loved. Alice Liddel. Gone, just like that, my only sister who cared. Then my parents and my older sister, Lizzy, died that night. They never knew their precious Alice was gone, they probably died hoping she was out of the house, safe. Instead of me.
"What are you thinking Abigail?" That voice pesters me once again. It's that damned Doctor Phillips yet again. Her brown hair in about the tightest bun I have ever seen. Just cooperate Abby... Then you can leave this stupid office... "The fire. What else? It clouds my mind and makes me go mad! And then the paper! Finally showing Alice, dead!" I shout at her with sweat and tears dripping down my face. What's a mad girl like me to say? Reading the paper in the morning to find out her precious sister was gone! Dumped in the river... And the worst part was that the cause of death was physical and other abuse.
Just thinking that someone had done that too the sweet little, innocent girl she is- She's dead Abby, get over it... And then more dreadful, hot tears stream down my face like a waterfall. The doctor sighs and makes a note on the paper she has. "We'll continue this tomorrow, alright? Now, go get your medication from that Nurse Witless." Phillips says quietly, still staring at the paper. I get up and wipe my tears off with my sleeve. I walk towards the door, then stop abruptly. Little Ellen is here for her checkup, and lo and behold she has that cursed jacket on. Poor thing, then again, that's probably what she thinks of me. I pass her and she glances up towards me. I ignore her and walk out, careful not to disturb the talking boys outside.
"Hey, freak!" Thomas snickers out dumbly. "Is that all you can come up with? Oh, wait, you can't! Your brain is not able to hold more than your name!" The words ring from my mouth like a bell, I can't stop myself. The other boys manly giggled- well, if that was even possible. Thomas turned around so quickly he stumbled. And then, full on laughter from the boys, although, Chester didn't laugh, though he smirked at me. My eyes widened and I shook my head. No, I wasn't going to fall for that bull again.
I quickly roll my eyes and sprint away. They can know I'm afraid of Chester for all I care, they know what he did to me. Broke my heart, that little butternutter. I walk quickly, not stopping to talk to anyone. Then, a flash of white, so brief I don't believe I even saw it. Then, there it is again. I walk out of the Orphanage and look around. Then, I see the cat. White, with green eyes. It walks into an alleyway, as if beckoning me. My conscious tells me not too, but I follow that strange beckoning feeling.
As soon as I lose the cat, I question myself. I now stand in an, alleyway of sorts. The clunk of shoes behind me sends me failing. I'm on my butt and face to face with a hideous monstrosity. A rabbit man. With that stereotypical Chinese mustache, the long, straight one. Though, it's a flesh of sorts instead of hair, and then it gurgles at me. Has my insanity taken over again? I know not, but I do know however, that this, is insanity. Pure, deadly, insanity. I get up quickly and back away. I bump into something. I turn around, and I'm surrounded by the hideous things.
"Alice dear! H'not seen ya for 'while!" That old, croaky voice breaks my delusion, and I come to my senses.
