The second chapter to Alice, only not! Please rate and review! Enjoy you guys!
The poser Alice pulls something out that the real Alice did not recognize to have had earlier. The fake raises the small bottle in her hand up, pointing it towards the real. She pulls off the top and the real Alice can feel herself getting pulled inside. "No! Wait someone help!" The real Alice screams trying desperately to grab onto something but anything within her reach slips away because without a body all she does is pass through it. Moments later Alice is gone and is inside of the bottle, tiny and about the size of a thimble. She slams her fists against the glass screaming for help but all in vain since her voice cannot be heard. The fake Alice holds the bottle up to her eye "Calm down, I'll give your body back…" She smiles evilly "After I have done what I stole it for." She puts the bottle down on the nightstand beside the bed and crawls under the covers "I would get some sleep if I were you. Tomorrow is going to be a big day."
Ace wanders about the woods trying to find his way out. "Um…Did I go this way or come this way?" He wonders as he pushes some bushes out of his way. A grin spreads across his face as soon as he sees her. Alice in a jet black Lolita dress, the bow on her head replaced with a ribbon tying it into a ponytail. "Alice!" He calls, grinning like mad. She turns to look at him with lazy eyes. "Um…Alice are you all right?" She hits his hand away before it reaches her shoulder. "Hello Ace." She spits his name out as though it were the most disgusting word to say. "Alice?" She still has a scowl on her face as she looks up at him lazily but then her attitude suddenly changes and she is smiling brightly "Hey Ace, can you tell me where the castle of hearts is?" He laughs shakily "You're asking me for directions?" Now it was Alice's turn to laugh but it is different from usual, oddly darker than normal. "You're right why should I ask you?" She pulls out a knife from one of the pockets of her dress "When I can get an answer out of you just by beating it out!" Alice slices forward but Ace is too quick and jumps back millimeters before it makes any contact. She scowls at him then at the blade as though she were disappointed by the lack of blood. She charges at him before he can grab his sword but with his speed there is no way that she can hit him. He finally gets enough distance between the two of them to have time to pull out his sword. Alice throws the knife at him with incredible speed but he deflects it just as fast. "Something is wrong with her" Ace thinks as she pulls out another knife from one of her boots "Very, very wrong." Alice runs at him the knife pointed directly at him. Ace raises his sword to defend himself but Alice isn't coming anymore. She is staring off into space, her eyes growing dull. Ace stares at her confused but she snaps back to reality quickly. "Hm…Alice figured out how to shield things from her me in her mind." Alice mumbles to no one in particular. She tucks the knife in her hand back into her boot before turning back to face Ace. "Never mind I remembered." She smiles brightly at him but something is still off about it. Alice turns and begins to walk away leaving Ace standing there speechless.
Peter had been depressed all day because he had not been able to see Alice but when he did see her walking in the rose maze he had immediately perked up. He ran to her only to stare wide eyed at the display in front of him. Alice was standing there with a knife in her hand not wearing her usual blue dress but in much darker clothes, the bodies of dead cards scattered all around her. "Alice?" Peter says taking a few steps towards her, maneuvering himself around the dead bodies. Alice turns to look at him the second he said her name. "Damn, I don't have access to her mind anymore…" Alice mumbles to herself as she looks at him. "What are you talking about Alice?" Peter asks very, very confused. "Nothing it's alright." She says as she grips the knife tighter in her hand. Peter looks at her, really looks at her. Not only were her cloths different but so were her eyes they were now a vivid green and something about the way she was looking at him sent chills up his spine. A bottle was hanging by her waist, a clear glass but there was something inside that he could not make out from this distance. Alice grins at him "So what did you want?" Alice asks him in a cold tone completely opposite of her smile. "Um…Alice" Peter starts "What were you doing here?" Alice gives him a cold glare. She runs at him and yanks at his rabbit ears the blade of her knife pressed against the back of his neck. "You work here right? Well you're going to be taking me to the b**** of hearts, got it?" Peter nods, trying not to move too much. "Something is wrong here, very wrong." Peter thinks as he leads her towards the castle of hearts. "Something is very wrong."
Alice releases him as soon as they get to the throne room. "Alice what is the meaning of this? We would like to know." Vivaldi demands as soon as she sees the knife wielding girl. Peter scrambles up and runs to stand next to the queen. Alice holds the knife tightly in her clenched hand. "I am here to challenge you for the throne." Alice states very clearly the bright smile on her face now grim. Vivaldi stands up clearly outraged "Would you care to explain this to me?" Alice throws the knife and it sticks just above Vivaldi's head. "Stop talking…" Alice groans nut the frown switches quickly back to the evil smile from before. "Nice to see you again old buddy." Vivaldi stops dead in her tracks, completely in shock "Charlotte?" Her voice comes out more like a whisper than anything. Alice grins "I'm back Vivaldi, and I'm here to take away your crown."
