Alice's Twin
A/N: I have nothing else to say than enjoy!
Alice's POV
"OH MY GOODNESS" I stared in shock at the bloodied form on ace's shoulder. "How in the hell did she get here, I was sure to see her off to Mexico." I mumbled. "Alice, is this a sister of yours?" Vivaldi asked. "Yes, she is indeed one of my sisters" I said. "Ace, take her to the infirmary and tell the maids to do what they do best." Vivaldi commanded Ace. "Man, I hope she'll be alright." I said worried. "She'll be fine Alice, We're certain the maids will handle this. We have had much worse to deal with. It only looked like a head injury, nothing more, alright?" Vivaldi tried to reassure that Jackie will be alright, but I'm not convinced. "I assure you she will be fine" She said gently. I calmed down but I need to see Jackie. "Vivaldi, is it alright if I go and see her? She might wake up in the infirmary." I asked. Vivaldi nodded and I made a dash to the infirmary.
****In the Infirmary****
Jackie's POV
****Memory begins****
"What happened to me" Were the first words to come out of my mouth. I looked around. I was home. I looked at myself and I was wearing my current clothing. There was crying downstairs. I rushed downstairs to see Alice crying like a baby. She wore her two piece sailor moon nightgown (I love that show even though it is old.) She nearly was a baby. "Alice" I cried out to her. She didn't even turn around. The last time I saw something like this was…
…before I left her.
Mother had come and tried to sooth Alice, but Alice smacked her own mother's hand away when I felt someone ran down the stairs. It was me. Alice stopped whining when she saw me come down the stairs and head straight for the door. "Why are you leaving me" Alice said in a voice that would make her think she was broken inside. And I had a feeling she was. The me that was at the staircase, the me who is part of this saddening memory had replied "I want to visit aunt peach and uncle Mario in Mexico for a little while. They are very sick and are in need of father's assistance. Father shall come back to you shortly. I'll be gone for a few years." "Then, why can't I go with you?" Alice asked her temper about to be released in waves. I can read her like an open book. The me on the stairs had the feeling of regret, but it was too late for Alice to come and Mom didn't want Alice to go anywhere. Mom said she had her reasons.
Part of memory Jackie POV
By the time I reached the door with my suitcase in hand, Alice burst out crying again and ran up the stairs as fast as she could. "Run" Mother shouted. I didn't know why mom would say such a thing until I saw Alice run down the stairs, sword in hand. Damn that sword. She was always so good in fighting with swords. Father's car honked outside, telling me to get to it. I ran for my life. Alice was at least two yards away from me in running distance. She swung the sword once, and it nearly cut my suitcase open. I ran faster, and yelled for father to start the car. He did, and looked out with eyes wide, and started driving the car, while motioning me to run like hell. Alice swung the sword again while I was running. Damn she's fast. She could become a death machine if she asked to. And she doesn't lose her balance so easily. Father opened the trunk, and once I got close enough, I jumped in it. Alice started throwing knifes with horrible aim. One of them just had to hit my leg didn't it?
We were on the street now. She always was bundle of energy. Then, she started picking up bricks and rocks. The hell, bricks can kill people if their thrown really hard at other people. I closed the trunk, at least that would be some protection. In no time, I was hearing things that Alice shouldn't be saying at her current age. Then, it eventually faded away. Where is mom in all of this mess? Sirens are in the distance, either they were here for me in a trunk, Alice's tantrum with throwing knifes and such, or because of my father's speeding the car to get me the heck out of here. Eventually, the sirens faded from the distance….or either they just stopped for Alice.
The car slowed and turned off. I heard the trunk open only to see my father with a worried expression. "Are you alright darling? Oh goodness, look at this leg." He examined it and told me to wait a sec. "Alright, this should make it feel better." Father said as he put some medicine on my leg and then came a triple-sized bandage. "Jackie, let me get you to the front seat before I get caught and people start presuming I locked up a girl in the trunk." Father said. Apparently we were in an ally. That's never a good place to be, but it seemed empty. I walked limping to the front seat of the car and sat down. Once my seatbelt was on and the door was closed, father started the car again, and we were off to Mexico.
****End of memory****
Alice's POV
I sat in a chair at the infirmary. Jackie started to moan from the pain. It seems she had hit her head on a rock in the forest because she had not paid attention. I'm glad she's alright. She started opening her eyes and she stared at the wall for a few seconds before looking over to me. She started to speak. "Alice…I missed you…so much. Could you…ever forgive me for…leaving you? I promise…to stay with you…for the rest of my life." She said. Of course I'll forgive her. I was so immature back then. How could I forgive myself for harming her? "I forgive you Jackie. Please forgive me for harming you. I didn't know what I was doing back then." "Then I forgive you too, Alice.
Right then Vivaldi came wearing a purple dress nightgown. "We thought you would wake up. Welcome to the heart castle. Alice it is morning, would you and your sister like to join us for breakfast?." Vivaldi said. "Yes." I said. Staying up all night doesn't affect me. I can go on for two days without sleeping. "Yes please." Jackie said in a quiet voice. "Do you mind if I take Jackie around to meet everyone after breakfast Vivaldi?" I asked "Not at all Alice, now why don't you girls come for breakfast? I, for one am famished and require food." We all laughed and stopped when Jackie's stomach had decided to agree with us. We laughed again and got up to go get some grub.
A/N: Happy new years! I know I'm a bit late but I did stay up this late just to Wright a chapter for the good of 2012. Once again HAPPY NEW YEARS and to all a good morning.
