Again I'll like to thank all those who commented. Now as I've said before the point of view will change through out. What I forgot to metion was that I'll list the character's name when it's fist person except when its my own OC. I'm sorry that the first two chapters were so short, I'll try to make them longer, but some chapters have to end at specific, critical points in the story. Some chapters will be random and seem like the don't have anything to do with the main plot, and they probably don't. There are some that will be critical to the story, most of the chapters will be them. Now there will be time skips and scene changes also, begining with this chapter, but don't worry I let you know if the scene changed or time skiped in the story. Her name will continue to be a mystery... for now. Also I want to apologize in advanced if any normal characters are too OOC. WOW... this is a long author's note... Well enough of this! On with the Chapter.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Joker/Clover/Heart no Kuni no Alice.

My throat had long ago become raw from screaming, so I decided to enjoy the silent fall that would probably be my death. It seemed like I had been falling for hours and all I could see was darkness, endless darkness. I started to think about all the deeds I've done all the sins I've commited through out my life. Even though I was only eighteen I had done and seen so much evil and cruelness in the world, more than an old married couple had seen put together. I had lived a short life, but that life was more tainted then you could imagine.
I began to wonder if this was my punishment, my retribution for all my crimes. If it was then I deserved this. The only thing I wish I could change was that I had found Alice..."Alice!" I shouted as soon as her name appeared in my head. Could this be what happened to her, but then why would she be punished. She was such a pure hearted soul, she was the one that saved me from falling even deeper into disaster and destruction. No. She couldn't have died like this. I know she's alive, I just know it. If she didn't die here then neither will I. My eyes began to shine with hope and determination.
Before I knew it there was a blinding bright light coming from the bottom of the abyss. All I could see was white light before everything went black. I opened my eyes to find myself free falling to the ground, well a tree to be exact. In the distance I could make out what appeared to be a ginormous castle, in another direction an amusement park of some sorts, a large mansion, and a tall tower like building in the center of them all.
Then there was pain, as I hit the tree. My head hit several branches on the way down. I landed on a wide branch near the middle. The only thing I noticed was the excruiating pain coming from my throbbing skull. My vision began to go blury and fade as I sucumbed to the darkness and let unconsiousness take hold of me.

"Now where did that rat go." I said looking around. I sniffed the air again hoping to catch a whiff of him, but what I got instead was something entirely different. It was a sweet vanilla smell, along with a hint of cocoanut. The only other thing that ever smelled so good was Alice, but she smelled of lavander and pepperment. "Where's it coming from?" I asked out loud. I followed the mesmerizing smell hoping to find the cause of it, completely forgeting about eating the rat.
Out of nowhere something sparkled, like a small piece of glass or crystal, and caught my eyes. When I got closer I found out it was a small vile, filled to the brim with a pink substance. It looked like Alice's vile. 'But it couldn't be this full already, could it?' I thought. Wait Alice's vile had a heart stopper, but this one has a diamond. "If its not Alice's then who's is it."
I began looking around to try to some clue, I also noticed the smell was coming from around here too. Givening up for the moment I sat at the base of the tree to think and try to piece things together. Looking up, I happened to spot something red. My well known cheshire grin slowly appeared on my face. I rose to my feet and stretched out before leaping onto a branch. Quickly and expertly I ascended the tree to my target.
What I found suprised me, it was a girl with short auburn hair. She was lying on a wide branch on her stomache with her hair hanging in her face. But what truly suprised me was that when I turned her over I noticed she had eyes. "Now what do we have here?" I asked as my smile grew. 'Hmm... I didn't hear of any new roleholders.' I thought as my gaze switched between her and the vile. My smile fell and I furrowed my brows in thought. "Could she be another foriegner?" I wondered out loud. I put my head against her chest to check... Ba-dump Ba-dump. My head shot back and my eyes widened. 'She is!' I screamed in my head.
I looked back at the vile in my hands. 'So she hasn't taken it yet.' I thought. My free hand held her up while I pulled off the cap with my teeth. I put it up to her lips and tilted it slowly so it would fall in to her mouth. After making sure she swallowed it all I capped the vile and put it in my pocket and final took a good look at her.
She wasn't as thin as Alice and definitly had more curves, exspecially in the torso area. The smell wafting off of her was the amazing smell I smelt earlier. I held a strand of her hair to my nose to inhale more of her tantalizing scent, and I couldn't help but to notice how soft and silky it was. Her hair was short and choppy that came just below her shoulders and was a rich auburn color. It went together well with her cream colored skin and plump, pink lips. I could only imagine how her eyes would look like considering she was still unconsious.
As I continued gazing at her I noticed something glint from her stomache area. When I took a closer inspection I realized she had a small, silver piercing with a clear gem in the center of it, on her bellybutton. I also realized she had two piercings on each ear, both ears contained a small hoop and a small dangling spike. 'So she likes piercings too, huh.' I thought.
I hadn't realized how long I'd sat there staring and watching her until the time changed to night. The moonlight was shining on her, giving her an ethereal glow. Her beauty could match a godesses at that moment, and I was so captured in her beauty that I failed to notice that she began to stir until she opened her eyes.
Her eyes were unlike anything I had ever seen. They were a pale, bright, blue with a silvery shine. The moonlight made them glow and shine even brighter I was lost in them for a while until she spoke. Her voice was soft and angelic and equally matched her soft delicate features. She only spoke three little words, "Who are you?"
