Chapter 11: Thriller Night in Hatter's Mansion

"I say we watch this!" Was all Alice heard as she covered her ears.

When they came back from the beach, all the kids spent forever in the bathrooms, giving her no chance to change, and then before she could enter the shower, Blood and Gowland approached her about watching movies.

Alice agreed to the idea, not seeing how that could result horribly.

But now she could see clearly.

Everyone's ideas and interest clashed greatly with the movies provided. Only Peter, Julius, Elliot, Ace and the Twins sat around her just watching the chaos.

"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!" Peter shouted at them, clearly irritated and instantly after all the commotion died down, "God, you're all so annoying." He grumbled while narrowing his eyes at them before he took a seat next to Alice.

Alice gave a breath of relief now that the arguing was up, "Alrighty, organization time. I'll point at you and you tell me what movie you want. Starting with you, Pierce-chan." Alice pointed at the dormouse that beamed at her happily,

"Vi-nee-chan and Gray-nii-chan agree with me that we should watch this!" Pierce held up the tape with a huge smile. Blood, Gowland, the Jokers, and Nightmare gagged at the tape that had a person holding an apple to the front.

Black Joker snorted, "No! I actually want to see a movie that has mythical creatures that aren't pansies!"

The boys all gave noises of agreement as Vivaldi pouted, "No fair! I like romances like this! It's cute and so dreamy. So we can watch it, right Nee-sama?" She begged looking at Alice pleadingly.

Alice sighed, "Wait until we see what else there is. Boris, what do you want to see?"

"This!" The Cheshire Cat said while proudly raising up the tape titled Epic Revenge, "Let's watch it! Let's watch it!"

Alice took the tape along with Pierce's, "We'll see… Okay boys, what do you have in mind?"

"It's a horror movie!" Gowland grinned,

Blood nodded, "Lots of blood and guts."

Pierce paled and the other kids widened their eyes.

"Monsters slicing people." White Joker smirked,

"And ghost slowly eating children alive." Black Joker finished as thunder shook from outside making the lights flash on and off once.

"Save me, Alice-nee!" Pierce cried as he jumped onto Alice's lap.

"Ah! Gray-chan!" Vivaldi shrieked clutching onto the still standing boy.

"Everyone relax, it was just the lightning picking up on the electricity. It won't happen again." Alice reassured the shaking kids as she got up from her seat. "If this is the movie you kids want. Here, use these pillows and blankets," She tossed them Ace's way as he caught them all. "Food," She gestured to the counter filled with snacks, sighing she took the movie from Gowland's hand and pushed it into the player.

"I'm going to take a quick shower. You all stay here and watch the movie. Can you at least do that?" Alice crossed her arms at them all. They all nodded at her except for Pierce who was hiding under the blanket he was given.

"If I come back and one of you decided to leave without a good reason, you'll be in big trouble." Alice narrowed her eyes before she turned down the hall. She turned off the lights as the children got themselves set up while the previews began showing on the huge TV.

-.-

Run faster! Before it comes for us!

In a line in front of the TV was Pierce who was shaking under his blanket with his ears covered mumbling about how he wished the movie was over, Boris watched it with his pillow in front of him with a high interest, the twins fell asleep from the beginning, Elliot flinched and covered his eyes every time something sudden happened, Vivaldi hung onto Gray, squeezing the boy's arm every time she got scared, Julius, Peter, and Ace all watched it without a blanket or pillow in their hands without the slightest hint of fear in their eyes as they observed the movie's continuation with dull interest, the Jokers both shared their blanket as they hugged onto one another every time something scary occurred as did Blood and Gowland, and Nightmare hugged his pillow tightly while closing his eyes.

No! Its eating her alive! Let me go! I need to save her!

You can't! We need to run!

"Run, bitch!" Black Joker shouted at the screen. A majority of the kids felt their hearts almost jump out their bodies at the sudden noise. "Run! Run! What the hell are you doing!?" White Joker screamed.

"Is it over yet? Is it over?" Pierce moaned as the sound of screams and slurps echoed through his ears.

Blood's teeth chattered as the dramatic music played on. "Why did they go in the closet?"

"Everything bad always happens when you go in the closet!" Gowland agreed, just as afraid.

Ace tilted his head to the side, "Is it just me or is there something outside the closet that's walking around?"

"Shut up, Ace-kun!" Vivaldi demanded, the fear in her tone completely evident.

"No, I'm so serious. Is that a shadow? You can see it in the corner." Ace squinted his eyes, genuine curiosity in his voice.

"It's the monster." Julius deadpanned as the monster suddenly popped up on screen in a 3-dimensional fashion making a majority of the children jump back in fright,

Gray cocked his head to the side while they watched the man get his arm torn off like paper as well as all his other limbs, "Whoa."

"AH!" Vivaldi cried shutting her eyes while squeezing Gray's arm tightly. "Ow!" He flinched painfully.

AH! Help me! Don't run! Help me! I don't want to die like this! I don't want to die like this!

"No! Make it stop!" Pierce screamed, though not nearly as loud as the person's screams on TV.

"He's crying. It looks like he's in pain… What a pity." Peter airily commented as they watched the monster stride away from the man who lay on room floor bleeding from where his four limbs were severed helplessly and in agony.

"The monster. Where is it?" Boris questioned wide eyed as he took a sip of his soda with his hands shaking.

"I think it chased after the girl. I'm not sure anymore." Elliot shivered paling out a bit.

"Why are you guys so scared? It's just some special effects is all." Julius rolled his eyes. Though he watched on, it was obvious that he was getting bored.

"I-I guess." Gowland gulped.

Blood went over to pick up the tapes covering as he read the summary on the back, "Um… Guys…" He said as his eyes widened at the information he was reading.

"W-what?" Nightmare asked as the dramatic music began playing again.

Blood looked up at their faces in the dark only highlighted by the light from the already dark TV. "This movie, I think it's based on a true story!"

Lightning flashed as he said this and a giant thunder clapped rolled as the TV shut off.

Elliot, Boris, Pierce, Vivaldi, The Jokers, Gowland, Nightmare, and Blood all gave a scared scream as all the lights outside shut off.

"No!" Pierce's voice said in the dark as he ran out the room, "Mommy!" He cried as his voice went off.

"Holy shit! What the fuck is that in the corner of the room!?" Black Joker asked as they watched something move in the corner. He rose to his feet and sprinted out the dark room and into the realm of the other darkness outside, "Don't leave me!" His counterpart shrieked as he ran out.

Julius and Peter blinked their eyes at the object in question before they turned to each other with sighs. Not saying another word, the two walked out completely calm.

"I-I'll just go tell Alice-nee the m-movie shut o-ff." Elliot said his eyes big with fright and panic as he sped walked out.

"Let's go, Gray-chan! We can't die!" Vivaldi said as tears fell out her eyes as she dragged the boy out by the collar of his pajamas.

Blood crawled away from the scene still staring at the moving object in the corner, "Nope! Nope! Not dying today!" He said before he followed the others into the dark. Gowland ran out with tears trailing down his face as Nightmare stumbled out coughing up blood.

"There's no place like home… There's no place like home!" Boris chanted as he ran out with his eyes shut and a blanket over his head.

Ace looked at the object in the corner skeptically, "Can't tell if you're a poltergeist of some poor sap that died here or just a figment of these morons' imagination brought to life."

When the shadow didn't make any movements, he shrugged his shoulders before turning to walk out, not paying any mind to the two twins that continued sleeping on the floor obliviously.

-.-

Alice gave a groan of annoyance as she heard the thunder clap and the lights shut off on her in the bathroom. Turning off the pipe, she stepped out the shower and began drying herself off as her eyes adjusted to the light change.

Putting on her nightgown, she took one final look into the mirror. Briefly seeing a man with red hair and silver eyes appear next to her, she blinked once to see if the image was still there, however it disappeared once she cleared her head as she stepped out the bathroom.

"Those kids better not be freaking out about this…" Alice mumbled when she walked down the hall.

Once she thought about it she had to laugh,

If anything, only Pierce would be freaking out. The others were way more mature about stuff like that. After all, most of them seemed excited and happy to pick out the movie in the first place.

-.-

"What the hell are you doing!?" White Joker snarled as he stopped his counterpart who was about to go inside of their room. Black Joker looked at his twin anxiously, "The monster! It's still on the loose! I need to hide! I'm going to die! We're both going to die!"

White Joker took his free hand and slapped Black Joker across the face, "Get a hold of yourself!"

The darker Joker shook off the hit, "Okay, thanks. I needed that, Joker."

"No problem, but seriously, what were you thinking? We can't hide in our rooms. That's where the monster goes first. We need to find a way out of this mansion." White Joker said seriously. The more rowdy of the two widened his eyes, "Find a way out!? This place is surrounded by nothing but forest! Where will we go if we break out!?"

"Tch. You act like we're going alone. We can't just leave Hag here to get eaten! We have to save her too!" The ominous Joker said with a 'duh' expression planted on his face.

As he said this, both boys looked down the end of the hall where a faceless woman stood; silently, she turned her head over to them,

The twins held their breath as they squinted to see her better, but the woman simply waved politely before walking ahead just as silently as she had appeared.

Feeling a shiver execute down their spines the boys immediately began screaming as they ran in the opposite direction.

-.-

"Vi-chan, I think you're holding onto my arm too tight." Gray said to the girl who clutched onto him with tears streaming out her eyes, "I'm sorry… I'm just so scared…"

Gray patted her on the head as they entered the kitchen, "It's alright… I just need to find a flashlight so we can go to Alice-nee. So can you let go for a second?"

Reluctantly the purple haired girl released him as she hugged herself while he walked towards the cabinet under the kitchen sink.

Every time something fell from his searching Vivaldi shut her eyes and whimpered. After a few moments of tenseness, the boy gave a shout, "I found it!" He smiled triumphantly as he rose up from the floor. He flashed on the light towards the ceiling as Vivaldi gave a sigh of relief. "Now let's find Alice-nee-sama before we get eaten!"

"I promise you, you won't get eaten Vi-chan." Gray told the girl as she smiled, "The only way you can keep that promise is if we find Alice-nee-sama! But for now where could she be?" The girl pondered as they began walking out with the flashlight ahead.

Gray walked ahead with Vivaldi following before they made it to the staircase.

While going up the stairs, Vivaldi heard something run past the stairs on the first floor. Eyes widened, she look down and saw what appeared to be a streak of black rushing across. With her face turning a bit blue and her stomach knotting up, the girl hugged onto the lizard's swollen arm once again.

"Ow!" Gray exclaimed in pain right as he dropped the flashlight.

Vivaldi mumbled a sorry as she let go again, "Ahhh, I'm so sorry, Gray-chan! I thought I saw something."

The young lizard nodded in understanding, "It's okay, just don't squeeze so hard, please. Hey… Where'd the flashlight go?" The boy asked confused as he looked at the floor which held no source of light.

Gray calmly looked around as Vivaldi began to panic, "Oh, no! The monster must have gotten it!"

"Is this yours?" A faceless woman asked as she approached the duo. Vivaldi nearly jumped a mile at her sudden appearance whereas Gray looked up at her calmly, "Yes. Thanks for returning it." He took the item with a smile.

The woman nodded, "If you don't mind, can you please show me the direction to where the Lords here usually meet?"

Gray looked back her blankly, "Sorry. I have no clue. But I'm pretty sure it'd be by the rooms marked, 'Enter and you die'."

This made the faceless frown, "Are those doors locked?"

"Not to my knowledge. Normally Alice-nee-chan just tells us to do one thing or another, I just listen to her." He shrugged.

"Lady Alice? Is it possible that you know where she is? She's here right?"

Vivaldi nodded, "Yes. She's somewhere in the mansion… Why do you need her?"

The woman put a grin on her face, "Thank you for the information children."

"Gee, she could have at least answered my question." Vivaldi pouted with hands on her hips while both she and Gray watched the lady disappear down the hallway,

After a moment of silence, Gray perked up, his topaz eyes wide, "Hey… I just realized... That lady wasn't in maid uniform!"

"But why would she need Alice-nee-sama if she's isn't worker?" The purple haired girl wondered aloud causing Gray's mouth to go agape, "No uniform… Suspicious smiles… Needing to know about locked doors… Spontaneously appearing before innocent kids… You don't think…?" Gray mumbled.

"That creepy lady is secretly a monster who wants to eat Alice-nee-sama!" Vivaldi concluded with her hands on her head right before they heard a scream echo through the mansion.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"
