Chapter one-Introduction

It was a cold, misty day in November and a light frost covered the ground. Pedestrians walking down the street were bundled up in large coats and fluffy scarves. It was quiet, not many people being out, and tranquil.

Of course that's what the street would have looked like, if it wasn't for the large mansion at the bottom of the road. It was a smokey white colour, with the grass looking as if it hadn't been cut in years. The tall imposing gate surrounding it had icicles hanging around it and the gate was sealed shut.

All in all, the place gave off a weird vibe, it was the Sinfonia Reformer after all. It was like an asylum but it was not one. Simply it was just there to help people with mental problems.

Okay…it does sound like an asylum but we shall ignore that.

Outside the gate, stood a little to the side, was young woman with long dirty blonde hair and bright turquoise eyes. She was dressed in a long pale yellow coat with trousers and a pair of black boots. A woolly scarf was wrapped around her neck. In her hand was a large suitcase that looked as if it was barely holding together.

Glancing once more at the large building, the woman dug into her coat pocket and pulled out a piece of paper that was crumpled up. After trying to straighten it out, the woman glanced at the address on the paper before sighing.

"This is the place, I didn't think it would look so…wild." The woman mumbled before stuffing the paper back in her pocket and approached the gate. After pushing it open, the dirty blonde made her trek to the door, having to be careful not to trip on some of the random items left around.

Once she reached the wooden door, she pressed the doorbell and patiently waited, fiddling with her suitcase strap.

She didn't have to wait long before she heard quite mumbling and the sound of footsteps approaching the door. She then heard loud clicking noises, presumably locks, before the door was opened.

A strict looking brown-haired lady opened the door and narrowed her eyes, "we're not buying anything."

"I'm not a seller!" The woman exclaimed before the woman had shut the door, "I'm Alice Liddell."

The brown-haired woman's eyes softened before a smile curled onto her face, "oh, why didn't you say that? We've been expecting you, come right in!"

Thankful to be out of the cold, Alice walked into the warmth before the door was shut. The other woman placed the locks back onto the door before beckoning Alice to follow her.

Alice took a look around her surroundings as she followed the woman. The halls floor was wooden, a deep brown colour which clashed with the dark green wall paper. Pictures ranging from people's faces to colourful flowers dotted the wall while an old table looking ready to collapse was off to the side, stacked with a telephone and paperwork on it.

"I was so happy when you asked for the job Miss Liddell, we've been with low staff for a while, so it's great to get a helping hand. Oh, where are my manners? My name is Mrs Jones, I'm the director here." The brown-haired woman, Mrs Jones, said.

Alice smiled in return, "I'm just glad I managed to get a job."

They stopped in front of a brass door that had Mrs Jones' name on it before they both entered the room, closing the door behind them. The room consisted of yellow wallpaper and brown carpet with a large window to let the sunlight in. There was a large desk with a chair behind it and two chairs in front of it. To the side was a bookcase and small couch.

Mrs Jones gestured for Alice to sit on either one of the chairs in front of the desk while she sat at her desk chair. Once Alice sat down, placing her suitcase on the floor next to her, she turned her attention back to Mrs Jones.

"So, um, what does the job entail again? My father was the one who helped me get the job," Alice asked.

"Well as you know this place is for people with mental problems who have lost their true selves along the way. We hope to try and help them overcome their illnesses. However over the years it's been hard to pay for this establishment, hence most of our patients have been moved to other places. Currently we only have fifteen patients left, however…."

Mrs Jones briefly paused, a daze coming over her eyes, before she shook it off.

"However the curious thing is that all fifteen of these people were in the same accident ten years ago and all share the same mental problem."

Alice felt curious about that. So fifteen people all shared the same mental problem, she'd never heard of fifteen people all getting the same mental problem at the same time.

However instead of the director telling her the mental problem, she instead turned back to another subject. "Anyway, you'll be basically attending to the patients when they want something. I've arranged which people you'll be attending to on what day. Your free days are Saturday and Sunday, so you've only got today to settle in I'm afraid." Mrs Jones said, digging in her desk draw before pulling out a folder and passing it to Alice. "That should clear up any confusions."

Before Alice could ask anything else, Mrs Jones got back up and headed for the door. "I'll show you to your room. It's advised you lock your door when you go to sleep or go to look after the patients, they tend to wonder into the rooms without permission."

By the shudder she gave, Alice had a feeling that it's happened quiet a lot. Following her out back into the hall, Alice noticed four different doors, two on her side and two on the other side. One door had a heart on it, the one near it had a diamond on it, the one across it had a spade on it and the final door had a clover on it. Not far from these doors was a fifth door with a black and white mask on it.

"Those are the patients quarters, they open up to different areas. The folder will explain," Mrs Jones filled in before heading to the nearby staircase and gesturing Alice to follow. After one last look, she quickly followed after, holding her suitcase close.

What she didn't see was the heart door opening and a pair of red eyes widening upon catching sight of her.


Alice's room was at the end corridor, so after Mrs Jones left her to get settled in, Alice had a look at her room.

The carpet was a sandy colour but soft to touch. The curtains were a dark purple, which matched the wall paper. There was a bed, already made, an empty closet, a desk with a chair, a small TV, a shelf and a door that led to the bathroom.

Alice spent the next hour unpacking her items before pulling out a book to read. However her mind was not on the book.

It's true what she had said when she mentioned her father helping her get the job. She had just finished college, now at the age of twenty and had no idea what she planned to do in the future. Her father suggested working here until she made up her mind, the pay being good.

She sighed, biting her lip. Was she capable of looking after fifteen patients with there only being a handful of people? She didn't know anything about the patients.

It was then her eyes landed on the folder. She placed her book down before grabbing the folder and opening it.

Things you need to know:

The patients have been divided up into five different areas, it seems this stops them from conflicting with each other. Some of them get along with each other but it's advised to watch them carefully at all times.

Five areas are:

Heart Area: Three patients here.

Diamond Area: Three patients here.

Spade Area: Four patients here.

Clover Area: Three Patients here.

Mask Area: Two Patients here.

Below the page was a map of the area, which showed that the rooms actually each had three floors to them. Alice wondered why it was necessary to divide them into different areas just because some of them didn't get along.

Shrugging, she turned to the next page which had the information of what she had to do.

Alice blanked at all the names, she had no idea who these people were so how was she supposed to know who to be wary off? Grumbling a little, Alice flipped through the sheets hoping to find some information. However all she could find was a small tucked away note.

Alice,

You'll find out the patients names and their mental illness tomorrow,

-Mrs Jones.

Giving up on trying to find anymore information, Alice placed the folder on the desk before glancing out the window. It was already late so Alice changed into her night clothes-a yellow nightgown-before crawling under the covers and slowly drifting off to sleep.

However she had forgotten to lock the door.


"Wake up! Wake up! Come on Alice!"

Alice groaned, feeling herself being shook. She grumbled before slowly opening her eyes. That's when she noticed that somebody else was in the room with her.

She was about to let out a scream, because the person was leaning over her, but the stranger gave her no time to respond. "You're awake! Good! Come on, you're supposed to be following me."

The stranger, who she identified as a male, grabbed her arm and yanked her out of the bed before pulling her out of her room and down the stairs. She could not see who the person was because it was too dark.

Alice realized that the man had dragged her into what was presumably the back garden of the place. She struggled to get out of his grip but he would not relent.

"Ah, here it is!"

She glanced to where he was looking and saw a hole filled with mud at the bottom. She blanked, wondering why the heck he would bring her out in the middle of the night to a hole.

Unless he was a rapist or murderer.

With that thought she struggled even more.

"Don't worry Alice, we'll be in Wonderland soon!" He then promptly pushed her into the hole, jumping in after.

"….Hmm, I could have sworn the hole was bigger."

Alice, still getting over the fact that he pushed her into a hole, glared at him. He turned to her with his bright red eyes, the only thing that could be seen, and shrugged.

"We may have to wait a while, then you can try and catch me."

Now because it was late and she was tired, Alice did the first thing that came to her.

She punched him in the face before climbing out the hole.

"I'm going back to bed."

"ALICE! COME BACK! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CHASE ME!…God, I'm lonely."


A/N: So this idea had been bugging me and I wanted to try it. Please tell me what you think! Unlike my other profile, there will be no Ocs unless I need to use them, like with Mrs Jones however she'll rarely appear.

I really don't like this first chapter, the next one will be interesting.

Sinfonia-It's the name of the magic school Alice attended in Toybox no Kuni no Alice.
