Alice of Human Sacrifice

Me: All right! Now, I must warn you this will be a pretty scary chapter. You'll see why. Please, don't hate Chloe in this chapter. Just a story. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Ferret of the Spade

The ferret tossed and turned as she slept. She let out an aggravated growl and gave up. Her sky blue eyes shot open to see she wasn't lying on her bed made of moss and leaves, but on the cold ground. Confused and frightened, she quickly got up from her spot. That's when she heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Hello, ferret of the Spade." The female turned around and saw a young male weasel staring back at her. The boy's fur was completely white, but his hair was a dark black, just like her surroundings. His midnight black bangs hid his eyes, making it difficult for the she-ferret to see what color they were.

Chloe sighed in relief. She was glad she wasn't alone. However, the little boy scared her. She finally asked, "Who are you? Tell me!"

"My name's Dream and I'm not a kid. I've lived through double, hundreds of doubles of times more than you. I'm not sure, though." The boy replied. Chloe huffed. Gosh, he's creepy! Wait, he's probably just messing with me. Maybe he's just a figment of my imagination. Yeah! She glared at the little male kit. She wanted to get out of wherever she was and wake up from this strange…whatever it was.

Chloe grabbed the kit by the arm and growled, "If you don't go away, I'll…."

"I cannot go away, unfortunately. Besides, I came to do something." Dream grinned up at her, earning another impatient growl from Chloe. Yeah, I know why you came. You came to interrupt me from my peaceful slumber. Well, whatever it is, I pray it won't be anything crazy.

She heard the boy speak again. "Are you my friend or no?" Chloe's sky blue eyes hardened slightly at him. Was he expecting her to be friendly to him right on the spot? Granted, she loved kids, but she didn't like the ones that nearly scared her to death. Suddenly, the black atmosphere disappeared and changed into a place with snow everywhere and strange mammals going about their day.

Chloe thought she remembered this place. She was back in the Ice Age world, or so she thought. She gasped when she realized Dream had transported her here. The ferret shouted angrily, "Hey! Where did you go? Hey! Dream, answer me!" The kit came up from behind her without her acknowledgment.

"This is my world! Looks a lot like you old one, huh? Well, you're in a dream, sis, but is it yours?" Chloe turned with a startled shriek to see the boy standing behind her. Okay, he's got to stop it with the appearing-out-of-nowhere thing! He kind of reminds me of Buck? Buck…

Chloe shook her head. Now was not the time to think about the male who let her stay with him and his family. She needed to find a way to get out of here!

With fright and anger in her tone, Chloe shouted, "What the hell are you saying? Why are you doing this?"

"I'm a dream. I am you in someone's dream, but you don't know. Don't give me that petrified face. There's nothing to worry about. Other than that, you're an Alice in a different body."

What? Chloe tried to let the last part sink in, but it didn't make any sense to her. This boy was really making her lose her patience and pushing her buttons. Alice? She thought in confusion. Dream gave her a lighthearted grin as he said, "Yes, Alice. You're an Alice that came from here. Make me proud, sis." With that, he disappeared.

Chloe stood there, shocked, confused, and irritated. Her name was not Alice. She was not an Alice. She was Chloe. I'm Chloe, not Alice! He's not making any sense at all! Ugh! The sky blue-eyed ferret thought with an aggravated growl. "What Alice is he speaking of? I'm Chloe! Dream, take me back home! Dream!" The little kit did not return and some mammals stopped to stare at the insane ferret.

"Are you all right, ma'am?" A beaver with a horn on his nose called out to her. Chloe let her body relax itself and her eyes return to a calm, soft gaze as she turned to him, nodding with a reassuring smile. Once he and the other mammals that had stopped to stare at her went back to their previous activity, Chloe went back to what she was thinking about.

What is this Alice…who is this Alice that little boy keeps mentioning? She felt something or somebody pull at her arm. Chloe looked down to see a cute little beaver girl staring back at her. "Hi! Would you like to play with me?" The ferret couldn't resist smiling at her slightly. Part of her wanted to play with her, but she was so confused about where she was and who this Alice person was. With a small sad smile, Chloe shook her head.

"I can't right now. I need to find a way to get out of wherever I am. Before I go, would you happen to know who this Alice person is? I think I'm going to lose it at any second if I don't find out right now." The beaver girl stared at her with a blank expression. Then, her dark brown eyes closed in thought. Chloe waited patiently, hoping silently that the little girl knew.

The beaver spoke, "I honestly don't know, but this Alice probably hears me. She says that they will always remember the world….she was in." Her expression turned into a very creepy grin, which caused Chloe to run away from her, panting as her feet quickly took turns hitting the ground. What is happening? What did Alice say? Who is it? Alice always remembers this world? What does that mean?

Chloe stopped running to catch her breath. That's when she heard Dream's voice ringing in her head. Sis must be an Alice and have come from here. Her breathing went back to normal only a little, for it was still a bit ragged. With a shaky voice, she wondered, "Really?" She began to let out a small chuckle. What was wrong with her? Chloe felt as if she was losing her head. She feared this dream was causing her to go insane.

Her giggling soon subsided when she whispered, "I think I understand now –how I came to this world. I still don't know what an Alice is. I should just forget it before I get so confused that I forget how to breathe. I came to this world, despite the fact I'm not on my ferret side. I am Alice! Is that it, Dream?"

Much to her approval, the boy appeared again and said, "Um…sure, you can think that. You'll probably continue to think that way. Hmm, no, I should attract some other mammals." Dream disappeared, leaving an insane-driven ferret to stabbing an innocent mammal with a very sharp rock. Chloe had snapped.

The beaver girl Chloe had encountered before was standing behind her, bewildered at the sight. "Ma'am?" She called out to the she-ferret only to be the next victim to be stabbed vigorously by the female. Her wails startled the other mammals, causing them to run away as fast as they could.

"Kill! Kill! I must kill everything in this world. I'm Alice! I must do this so I can go home!" Chloe screamed to no one in particular. Her psychotic laugh echoed around the village and her fur and face were covered with fresh, crimson blood. While everyone ran away to safety, a male with an eye patch on his left eye and orange-brown fur with a cream-colored middle stood in his spot, confused as to why everyone was running away.

Soon, he was face-to-face with the deranged ferret. Chloe was blinded by the color red that she didn't care if she knew the male or not, she was going to kill him. With an unwavering voice, she addressed him, "You. I'll kill you!" The one-eyed male turned his head and closed his lonely, sapphire eye, waiting for his life to end. However, the impact never came. He opened his eye and saw that the ferret was gone.

Chloe was behind a makeshift cell with very thick bars made of wood, the atmosphere black as it was before this entire fiasco began. Her expression went from hysterical to puzzled. What happened? She was almost successful in killing the male until this cell fell over her. Dream appeared once again, his head shaking. "I cannot let you do this. You're going insane. That will not do. This Alice I shall junk. I do not need one."

Him again? Chloe shouted, "You little….!" She was cut off at the sound of Dream's laughter. It wasn't an amused or happy laugh. It was a mocking laugh. This caused her to see red again, but she couldn't do anything about it. So, she waited for him to stop laughing, her paws gripping the wooden bars tighter.

Dream teased, "You have been bad."

"Don't mess around with me, you twerp! You will get me out of here this instant!" The female shouted angrily at the kit.

The boy said in a sing-song tone, "I can't do that." And then he left, leaving an imprisoned Chloe behind to shout for him to wait. The atmosphere changed into where she was now surrounded by tall shrubs. He's kidding, right? She began to pant softly before letting out an ear-piercing screech.

Dream held a doll that looked like Chloe as he sang.

The first Alice was a woman of the Spade, and righteously she held a sharpened stone within her hand.

Never hesitating to slay all within her way, creating paths of blood that followed her through Wonderland.

Chloe gasped. What was this? "What is this song?" Dream stopped singing to answer her. He told her that this was her song. He continued to sing.

Deep into the darkened forest, Alice walked the line, captured and imprisoned as an embodiment of sin.

If it weren't for the murderous wake left behind, no one would have suspected that she had ever been.

"Stop!" Chloe screamed loudly.

This made Dream laugh. He sighed, "She used to dream, but she wasn't as gallant as we thought, was she?"

Rosalina stared at Celine in shock. Where in the world did she come up with such a scary story? She turned her head to see if anyone was as frightened as she was. Fortunately, she wasn't alone. Taliyah was whimpering softly in fear. Noemi and Keiichi had their protective arms around their sister's shoulders, reassuring her that it was just a story. Gale, Dimitrios, and Roxanne, however, were mind blown.

"Sis, that was awesome! Continue, please!" Gale begged. Celine grinned at her little brother. She was surprised, as well as relieved, that he, Dimitrios, Noemi, and Roxanne were not afraid. They were into it and waiting for more. Taliyah was so scared that she wanted to go in Rosalina's den. Rosalina understood and let the little kit enter her home with her following to get the girl situated.

Celine waited for Rosalina's return. She waited for a moment, but she didn't turn up. Wow! I must have really freaked her out. No matter. More thrill for us! So she continued her story. Chloe shook her head, "So I was included in this story? Okay, granted, I kill dinosaurs every now and then when they're trying to attack me or any of you, but I wouldn't be that insane to kill an innocent mammal."

"Chloe, it's just a story. Of course we know you would never do that. Don't get so defensive. Anyway, shall I continue?" Celine received nods from the remaining weasels and ferret. And continue the preteen girl did.

Me: Did you get scared? I hope you don't get nightmares. *giggle* Don't worry. The other three are not as violent. The next one's a bit bloody, but not as bloody as this one. The worst part is pretty much over. It still gets a little creepy. Well, I do hope I didn't scare you too bad. I'll feel awful. lol Feel free to leave a review.
