The Fourth Alice

The fourth Alice, Alice of Hearts, was actually a pair of twins sporting yellow. The siblings were known as Alicia, who was a stubborn girl, and Allen, who was the smarter of the two.

The two were having a tea party in their rose garden, oblivious to all the horrific events going on around Wonderland, when a bird flew over to them carrying a letter in its beak. The letter was then dropped on the table, and the bird flew away, back to where it came from.

Allen picked it up. The letter was in an envelope that was slightly tinged with green, and sealed with the Clover Kingdom crest. He flipped it over to see who it was from, finding out that the sender was Queen Alice herself. Alicia snatched the letter from her brother, opened it, and read the message out loud.

"Dear Alicia and Allen of Hearts,

I would like to formally invite you to my castle in the Kingdom of Clover." Alicia took a break to look up at Allen, her eyes shining. Allen was a skeptical and had slight suspicions as to why the Queen would suddenly invite them over. Alicia continued on. "To get there from where you are at, you'll have to go through many doors in the forest. After you make your way out of there, you'll find Clover not too far away. Hope to see you there! -Queen Alice"

Alicia had an excited look on her face. "Allen! This is our chance to meet the queen!"

"Alicia, I don't think this is a good idea-" Allen began, but Alicia was already dragging him along. 'That Alicia,' he sighed. 'Isn't she the least bit suspicious as to why we're suddenly being summoned? And to make us go through the forest? I'm sure there are safer ways to get to Clover...'

They climbed into their boat to sail inland towards the forest area. When they arrived, Allen tried once again to get Alicia to go back. "We should return to the garden, Alicia," he tried. "What about the tea party? You wouldn't want our pastries to go to waste."

"Silly Allen, we can always have a tea party some other time! This is the queen we're talking about!" Alicia ignored his protests and dragged him along by the hand.

"Alicia listen to me! This can't be good if we have to go through the forest!"

But it was too late. He was ignored once again, and the twins entered the forest of Wonderland.

The two encountered the doors Queen Alice mentioned in the letter. There were four, each with different markings on them. The first door was a yellow one bearing a heart, the second one was green and had a clover, the third, blue one bore a diamond, and the final door was red and had a spade. The spaded door was the largest one, and many roses were growing all around it. Taking in a deep breath, Alicia and Allen opened the door together revealing a dark room lined with more roses.

The twins stepped inside and inspected the room. It looked like the other rooms they passed through, and they continued on.

What the twins overlooked though, was a pair of glowing eyes watching them from the shadows of the rose bushes.

It was starting to get dark when the siblings left the room, so they decided to make camp for the night. Alicia was starting to settle down at the base of a tree, but Allen still stood, alert.

"Alicia, don't you think maybe we should sleep in the trees instead?" he suggested. "It'll probably be safer."

"Allen, you silly goose! We're not squirrels!" she giggled, then turned to go to sleep. "Night, brother!"

"Good night, sister," replied Allen as he went to lay down by Alicia. They closed their eyes, and soon enough, they went to sleep.

There was a rustling in the bushes near the place Alicia slept. Deep in sleep, she barely stirred. Allen was also fast asleep. A figure looked over at the siblings. A grin slowly spread across her face. A blade flashed in the moonlight.

'Oh how cute,' the figure thought to herself. 'Two sleeping children. This won't be as fun 'cos they're not awake, but I have to take advantage of this chance. It's the least I can do for the kids who foolishly freed me from my prison. Plus, I'm dying to test out this new blade Queen Alice delivered to me.'

The figure stepped out into the light. Allyson, her red dress in rags, smiled viciously. She walked over to where the twins lied asleep and vulnerable. She held her blade high above Alicia. 'Ladies first!'

She brought down her sword over Alicia's neck, crimson splashing out onto the tree, onto the boy, and on Allyson's ragged outfit. Allen woke up to the sudden dampness, opening his mouth to gasp in surprise at the scene portrayed in front of him, but was interrupted by a slash to his throat. He fell backwards, blood dripping from his mouth and gurgling in his throat, until the light finally left his eyes and he went limp.

"Might as well do some finishing touches," Allyson said, studying her work.

"Nighty night, children," she whispered, and headed back into the shadows to escape the forest, and make her way to the Kingdom of Clover.

Alicia had been rearranged to be holding her own head like a teddy bear, with Allen holding her beheaded body. The two would continue their dreaming and wander the grounds of Wonderland together forever.

Darn it Allyson, why'd you have to kill the kids?! I guess it's my fault though since that's how I wrote it out...Heh... *shot* Anyways, that was the last chapter this fanfic. Hope you liked it~! I'll probably make an epilogue for this since it kind of ended on that note of suspense with Allyson and all. Also, I'd just like to point out who is representing who in this fanfic. It's based off the original song by Vocaloid (as I had mentioned before), so each character represents each vocalist (there were a few too many though that I couldn't fit in the description btw). Allyson = Meiko, Alex = Kaito, Alice = Miku, Alicia = Rin, and Allen = Len.

For the epilogue I mentioned earlier in this note, it will not have anything to do with the song, and will be purely from my imagination.
Hope to see you in the final chapter(?) of Alice of Human Sacrifice!
