My eyes slowly opened and I stared at the cloudy sky. I felt extremely disorientated as I pushed myself off the grass. The vial which was once filled with liquid was still in my hand, I felt as though it was very important so I slipped it into the pocket of my dress. I was in the middle of a beautiful garden. I dusted off my deep purple dress, pulled up my vertically striped, knee high socks and made my way towards the large mansion at the end of the garden. I stopped when I noticed a man in a top hat walking out of the entrance. He was remarkably handsome and dressed very smartly.
"What do we have here?" He questioned gazing at me. Everything about the man was intimidating, I looked away shyly.
"My name's Bellatrix and I have no idea where I am." I said nervously, walking towards him.
"Well Bellatrix," He pointed his cane at me and it magically turned into a gun. "Welcome to the Country of Hearts." He pulled the trigger. I shut my eyes tightly and flinched in fear as the sound of a gun shot rang in my ears. I was surprised when I felt no pain. I turned around frantically to see what his target was. To my shock it was two young boys, who were running away and laughing playfully.
"You awful, awful man!" I exclaimed angrily. "You could have killed them!" He strode towards me and clutched my face, pushing into my cheeks with his index finger and thumb.
"I would shut my mouth if I were you Miss Outsider." He said coldly. I resisted the urge to spit in his face or kick him in the groin, or both, and glared at him angrily. Usually I would have done so without any hesitation however his gun was no match for me. He released my face and looked me up and down.
"You're quite beautiful for a witch." He commented.
"I am not a witch." I replied with a frown.
"By the way you are dressed you're just asking for people to assume you are one." He retaliated. I suppose I was wearing lots of dark purples. My long black plats and dark lipstick also heightened how witch-like I appeared.
"Boss!" A voice called. I staggered back in shock as a man with rabbit ears walked towards us.
"There's a conflict with the Steiner brothers. You're needed right away."
"Fine. Elliot, take care of the girl." He commanded.
"Righty-oh." Elliot said happily aiming a gun at my head.
"I mean show her to a room and entertain her." The man with the top hat sighed.
"Oh, okay then." Elliot said eyeing me suspiciously. "So uh… who are you?"
"Someone who's really confused… My name's Bellatrix." I said staring at the man's strange ears.
"I'm Elliot, Blood's henchman."
"Blood? Was he the man from before?" I questioned admiring the Elliot's pretty blond hair.
"Yeah he's the mafia boss."
"I have another question. Why are you wearing those rabbit ears?" I asked.
"R-rabbit ears!" Elliot exclaimed angrily, "Let me tell you something, if you want to avoid getting shot by me don't call me a rabbit. These are hare ears." He corrected me.
"Oh! I'm sorry I offended you. I'm still getting use to your culture." I apologised.
"Yeah you're an outsider; there'll be lots of stuff that you won't understand." He explained.
"Follow me and I'll show you around the Hatter's Mansion." Elliot said walking towards the large building.
