"Are you sure it's gonna work?" Black asked with narrowed eyes, facing towards Nightmare.
"Yes. It should, if we turn her into a little girl then she'll remember us and she'll tell us about her life." He explained.
"Let's see… Ariella has been in Wonderland ever since she was born. Then she left when she was five." White said in thought.
"That's correct. We'll wait for her to grow to the rightful age, but before she does, we need to find out more about her past." Nightmare added. The two Jokers looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Lucifer/Ariella
"Ace are we there yet?!" She tiredly asked. Her eyes were getting heavy, her moves became slower; she needed sleep, and Ace isn't helping at all!
"Nope! I don't even know where we're going!" He stated cheerfully. Lucifer froze at her tracks. Ace noticed this and turned around to face her.
"Ariella?" He asked with a tilted head, his smile never faltered.
"Are you telling me that we've been walking around this damn forest FOR NO FUCKING REASON?!" She furiously yelled. He flashed her yet another grin and nodded his head happily.
"Yup!" That was the final straw for her. She had enough. She lunged at him, baring her nails *Cough-claws-cough*
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" They both fell on the ground. Her on top of him. Her hands on his neck. Luckily she was wearing the dark sunglasses so he couldn't see her vampiric eyes. Then, the most surprising thing happened: He flipped them over. Now he was on top of her! Lucifer blushed deeply at their position.
"G-get off me!" She shrieked. He shook his head, lowering it to her chest. He placed his ear to her chest, where her heart was placed.
Tick! Thump! Tick! Thump! Tick! Thump!
Lucifer's eyes widened in horror. He's listening to her unusual 'heart'.
"Ariella…? Why does your heart sound like a clock and a heart?" He muttered, his head still positioned to her chest. Then, she remembered something.
*Flashback*
"She's waking up!" A female voice said. Lucifer felt like she was on a bed. She sat up, groggily. Her vision seemed blurry and her throat was slightly dry. She blinked rapidly to try to get her vision back. Then, everything became clear, too clear. Usually her eyes make things seem a little blurry, but now everything is perfectly clear! Not only that, her hearing was perfect too! 'What's going on?' She thought as she looked at her hands and saw that they were very pale. Same thing with her arms and-! Her whole body was pale. She used to have a milky fair complexion, but now it's gone. Replaced with a deathly pale white. She looked up and saw Kenji with a regretful yet nervous look on his face.
"Kenji…?" She said quietly. He looked at her dead in the eyes and said, "Lucifer, you're a vampire now. You're dead."
…Vampire…
…Dead…
'I'm a… vampire…?' She thought.
"Alfredo killed you, but you killed him too. When he stabbed you… Your heart…" He trailed off. He looked at a woman with burgundy hair. She hurriedly went to fetch Lucifer a drink. Lucifer's eyes widen.
"Wha… What happened to my heart?" She croaked. He bit his lip nervously.
"…Did you know you had two hearts?" She blinked. Once, twice, then thrice. His words sunk into her head. 'Two hearts?!'
"Two… hearts?" She asked, astonished. He nodded slowly, still looking at her.
"Ya, two hearts. A doctor came and looked at your uh hearts… One was a clock and the other was a normal heart. When Alfredo stabbed you, the blade cut your heart. The doctor said that the clock and your heart suddenly merged together… and… made this." He explained, holding out an X-ray picture of her strange 'heart' The heart showed some parts of a clock, for example the face of a clock.
'What an eccentric heart…'
*Flashback End*
Ariella's mind went dizzy, her head started pounding. Then, she blacked out.
"Ariella?! Hey wake up!" Ace cried. He started to shake her by the shoulders, but it didn't work.
"Ariella!" Ace's face did not show a goofy smile or a grin. Instead, it showed shock and fear for the girl.
