Chapter 11
Alice was now walking on an irregular tile pattern of Ace card design, that with each step, Alice could hear a do-re-mi-fa-so-doh-ta or do. Alice wondered around until she started to climb some stairs. The stairs were made of sand from the look of it. Alice prodded the lowest step and it disappeared, leaving a dark void under the stairs. A whole lot of fairy lights moved away quickly, and knocked Alice to the ground. As she landed on the ground, in a room that was almost pitch black, except for barely visible portraits. A song began from an unknown where abouts with a perfect pitch.
"When the morning turns to gray,
and all have lost thier way,
the moon glistens with glee,
as does a cheshire cat.
but don't blame me..."
The song continued in a wierd language Alice couldn't interpretate. She now actually looked at her sorroundings, the tiles had flown ito the air, and were falling down like blossoms carried by the wind. Alice sat up and saw the stair case had disappeared, and was replaced with a piano with menacing teeth for keys, and the back of the piano was of a horse.
Alice crept towards it, the song echoing throught the room, each note bieng sung, fairylights trying to escape the room would change colour over and over again.
She looked at the notes. The notes were there, all of them. Do-di-Ra-Re-Ri-Me-Mi-Fa-Fi-Se-So-Si-Lo-La-Li-Ta and Ti.
Alice touched one key. "Do" came out. She looked at the key she pressed. It was Ti. Alice was confused, and soon an envelope flew down from the tall cieling and donked her on the head. She opened it and it was labelled "Piano instrutions."
Alice read through the contents and then, as the envelope said, "this letter will burn when the message is read."
Alice dropped the envelope on the floor and it burst into flames. Lucky the tiles wernt real cards, and just cement. Or Alice would surely have short-ended adventures.
The song continued in the background. Alice could actually now swear, it was getting closer. As the intrusctions instructed, Alice played the keys backwards from what the keys actually said. From Ti, alld the way upto Do. Then she repeated, going from Do to Ti, and then did so again, but stopped at Mi.
The piano then glowed different colours and the room was engulfed in light, from its gloomy presence. The gloomy stuff turned into a royal monarch worthy red.
Alice now could see who owned the voice. It was a turtle with human features, pulsing black veins, eyes over sized for its head, and song echoing in its mouth.
Alice walked away from the turtle as it crept towards the piano and played a whole new song. It was almost intoxicating to listen to. As she walked off, the song now began to echo at very loud volumes. Soon Alice held her head and moaned. She had to stop it. She turned around and went to slit the turtle thing's throat, but it bit the blade and stopped Alice. She kicked him and he screeched. The potraits that in the light showed royal men and women now showed men and women gone mad. Alice shot the turtle and headed for where she was going.
Now a door stood in the shape of clubs. Fairy lights pulsed on the wall. Alice sighed, then walked through the door. The last door maybe?
