I'd like to thank the people who reviewed. It really means to me! Now on with the story... Read PLease...
After the first brawler, Dan, which fell in the hands of Alice, Alice has felt a bit stronger. She has been waiting a few years for another brawler to appear. And when the brawler appeared, Alice has made her way to Earth to claim her other victim and become even stronger.
On a cold, windy night, a sixteen-year old homeless guy with rags as clothes, made his way across the streets of the city to find a place for him to sleep, a place enough to keep him protected from the harsh, cold winds.
He found a place, and laid there waiting for sleep to takeover. Shun, the homeless guy, has a beautiful voice, which he was hoping on using it to make money off. But… the people on the streets he roams, never pay him any attention, as if he was invisible.
After sleep took over, he had this strange dream.
Deep in the darkness, where the only light was coming from something glowing orange, a boy laid there on the floor.
His eyes fluttered open, where he found himself amidst darkness.
His eyes started wandering around, in search for any source of light.
His eyes locked on the source of light and he made his way to the source.
The source was a beautiful orange-haired girl wearing a glowing white dress.
"H-Hello…?" Shun asked.
"Hello Brawler Shun…" Alice said as he opened her eyes slowly.
"What… Where am I?"
"That's not important… But let me introduce myself… I'm Alice."
"Alice…?"
"Yes… How about you leaving your miserable life on Earth and going to "Wonderland"?"
"Wo-Wonderland?"
"Yes… Wonderland."
"What's Wonderland?"
"It's anything you want it to be…"
"Really… Then take me there…"
And with that, Alice took Shun to his Wonderland.
They landed in a small, averagely populated village.
"Where are we?"
"We are in a small village called Melody."
"And what do I do here?"
"Here you can be a singer and I don't think people will ignore you here."
Alice handed him three music sheets and the lyrics written on each one of them. He looked at them.
"What do I…?" he didn't finish his sentence for as he looked up, Alice was gone.
He selected one of the music sheets, and started singing the melody. People gathered around him, smiles on their faces. After he finished, all the people around him started clapping their hands with delight.
Shun had a wide smile on his face. Finally people have started realizing him. He bowed and then the people started leaving where they had gathered to carry on with their daily routines and errands.
Some nice old couple walked up to him.
"Hello young man."
"Um… Hello."
"Where do you live?"
"Um… I just arrived here…"
"How about you stay with us?"
"Um… wouldn't you mind? I'll just be a burden…"
"No, no. It would be our honor to have someone with such a beautiful voice in our house."
Seeing in no point to argue, he followed them to their house. He didn't notice Alice standing behind the corners of one of the streets. He has a small smile gracing her face.
Once Shun was inside of their house, he thanked them for their hospitality and went to a mattress they had laid for him on the house's floor.
He laid on it and went to sleep.
The next day, he woke up to find that the old couple wasn't in the house.
So he left the house to sing in the village. He selected another sheet of music and sang. And again people gathered around him. And again they clapped for him when the melody ended.
He again slept in the old couples' house.
The next morning, he woke up and went outside to the village.
He selected the third music sheet given to him by Alice, and he began to sing. But no one noticed. He raised his voice and sang louder. But again… No one noticed.
He ran to one of the citizens of the village, and he tapped his shoulder. But it's as if Shun wasn't there. He screamed at the top of his lungs but no one noticed. He was confused and frustrated. He wanted to get the attention he used to get and love.
He saw the old couple that let him stay at their house. He ran to them and grabbed the old man's shoulder. Shun looked into the old man's eyes. They were blank. He took a step back. As he was running away, he spotted a pistol on the ground. He bent down and grabbed it.
He wasn't going to do it, but desperation got the better of him. So he pointed the pistol to his head, hoping to a reaction from the crowd. But he didn't get any attention. Tears where streaming down his face as a pulled the trigger sending the bullet into his head.
Shun's body fell to the ground and blood spilled from his head. Everyone noticed and ran up to his body.
After a few days, Alice appeared by his grave. A blue rose grew from his grave. Alice just shook her head.
Back in the darkness, Alice had a sad expression on her face. "He had wonderful voice. The song he selected wasn't the one that gave him attention like the other two songs did. He just didn't try to sing them again. He settled for suicide." Alice has become stronger when Shun died. She couldn't wait for the other brawler to emerge.
