Alice in Wonderhell, Min-chan the Otaku [ebook reader library .txt] 📗

poked with the needle. The boy then took the scissors he was holding from before and cute a happy smile onto the lantern. Picking up his needle carefully again, he started to sew the mouth together. “Now can you see? Now can we be together? Now do you love me?” the child asked repeatedly with his innocent tiny voice. Alice slowly backed up. The dream was just a vision from the past. The boy really was him... Her thoughts were interrupted with the sudden sound of gagging from not far away. It was too familiar. Alice’s heart started pumping faster and faster. It couldn’t be... Dashing towards the terrible sound, she stopped immediately from shock. There in front of the girl, was Gilbert, hung up in a tree with empty eye sockets where his ruby eyes once shined. He started to cough as the thick rope choked him more, digging deeper into his pale skin. Alice ran up to him, crying and screaming with all the air in her lungs.

“G-Gilbert!” she screamed in horror and panicked. She needed to save him now. Thinking as fast as she could under the pressure, she suddenly got an idea. “H-here! I’ll loosen it!” she suggested quickly and frantically as she grabbed the rope and pulled on it, hoping it would loosen. But she only got another gag from Gilbert and a cough of blood, meaning it was getting tighter. Alice screamed and back up. “A-a platform! Yes! Something to stand on!” she exclaimed and tried to look around for some sort of platform. Unfortunately, before she could even start looking for a platform, the deadly choking noise stopped, and a loud gong could be heard. She didn’t need the clock this time; it was nine o’clock. Alice didn’t know what to do. All her friends were now dead, because of her. “WHY?!” she sobbed as she fell to her knees, “Why am I the only one left?! Why did I deserve this?! It’s all my fault!” Alice started bawled to the sky as she let her waterfall of tears stream down her cheeks, ruining her dress. “GILBERT! YOU PROMISED!” No matter how much she wailed and screamed, she knew no one would answer. This time, she wouldn’t hear any voices to tell her she was safe. She was all alone, again.

VI : Tea with the Mad Hatter

♛ ♛ ♛

Time was running out, and Alice knew that well before. She had limped around aimlessly, seeing no checker board path. She barely had any life in her once forest green eyes, all from the terrible deaths. Her heart was ripped apart with each step she took, getting more lost.

“Please... make the clocks reverse...” she mumbled as she walked. “It’s all my fault they’re all dead...” Her ankle was now stinging in pain, but she no longer cared. “If I die, I’ll end the pain, right?” she asked herself. Suddenly, the feeling of suicide was a marvellous idea. Alice started laughing and her pupils went small. “Why don’t I just die right now?!” she laughed louder as if she had gone mad.

“Have you lost all hope of seeing the queen?” a British voice asked. Alice looked behind her, only to see a large clothed table with several tea sets placed neatly upon it. Each pot and cup had very detailed pink designs, giving a happy mood to the atmosphere. The forest around her became brighter with the sunshine that suddenly appeared, also setting a happy mood. At the very end of the large fancy table, sat a man with pink-orange hair, icy blue dizzy eyes and a large top hat that was pink. There was a table set out under a tree, in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it. Alice recalled what her mother had read on that night she had made the wish of having her own wonderland.

“Who are you?” she asked, starting to walk towards the table. She hadn’t had her tea in such a long time and there it was, right in front of her.

“I am the Mad Hatter, but please call me Oliver Kirkland!” the man who calls himself Oliver, laughed as his blue eyes span around in spirals, making poor Alice dizzy.

“Wait, but my last name is Kirkland!” argued Alice in confusion. The Hatter only laughed even harder and snapped his fingers. The young boy with large rabbit ears suddenly appeared in one of the pink chairs. Again, his emerald eyes had no emotion in them. Alice glared at the innocent child, remembering he was the reason she was here in the first place. On the other side, two girls appeared. One had long brown hair and ruby eyes, along with a velvet nurse outfit with bloody stains on it. She was drinking some tea, while the girl beside her was cleaning a blade. She was a very young girl with light blonde-grey hair with a white bow on top. She had an elegant navy blue dress with an apron, but her eyes were wrapped up behind a velvet blindfold. Alice shivered, for she looked exactly like the girl she had seen when she saw the vision. What was she doing here?

“Have a seat, love, you must be tired~” cooed the Mad Hatter with a calmer tone but his large creepy grin remained. Alice walked towards a chair and sat down. She looked down, smelling the fresh smell of earl tea. She hesitated for a moment, fearing it may contain poison. “Don’t worry love, I wouldn’t hurt you!” the British man replied, as if he had read her mind. Alice slowly picked up the teacup and held it to her mouth. Taking a tiny sip, she sighed in relief. It’s been such a long time since she’s had earl tea.

“Thank you, Oliver.” she mumbled as she took another sip. Why did she feel like she could trust him?

“Don’t worry, love. Now tell me your problems, you looked stressed!” he exclaimed enthusiastically with his mad spiral eyes. Alice stopped drinking, remembering where she was and what had happened.

“What’s the point, there’s no more hope in returning to my world.” she mumbled quietly and laughed pitifully.

“Alice, I believe you have read the book Alice in Wonderland, no?” clarified the girl in a velvet nurse uniform as she took a sip from her tea. Alice only nodded slowly in response, allowing her bangs to cover her face.

“Alice, like the story, the only way out is to ask the Queen. The Queen knows all and everything about you.” Oliver added with a smile while gesturing something. The little boy with rabbit ears stood up and started walking into the forest, leaving Alice confused. “Follow him, and you shall find the Queen.” Oliver stated and grinned. At first, Alice hesitated a little. Should she trust this man and the boy who brought her to this hell? Alice started to think: if she stayed here, one of them would probably kill her and her life would end just like that; but if she followed the boy, maybe, just maybe, the Queen could get her home. She got up immediately starting to follow the boy.

“Thank you Oliver and everyone!” she shouted as she followed the child. Oliver simply waved, as a huge smile plastered across his freckled face.

“Final Phase in Alice in Wonderhell: complete.” the Hatter slowly chuckled.

VII : The Queen

♛ ♛ ♛

Alice followed the young blond boy as he ran through the bright green bushes and trees, eventually coming to the black and white checkered pathway. A spark of hope and belief was felt in Alice’s heart. Soon, she would be back home, awake from a nightmare, and she will no longer treat people around her like trash. Just thinking about home, Alice didn’t notice the rabbit boy ran towards a massive castle, its walls in black and white with detailed chess designs. The massive gates opened before the boy, as if he were a king coming back to his castle. The boy kept running, up a large golden and white patterned staircase, greeting some of his magical friends from time to time. The butterfly-like human creatures were back, but they didn’t scream nor wail this time. Little chubby rabbits popped their head out of nowhere at times, making Alice jump. However, the atmosphere around them soon went from royal and happy, to dark and unpleasant. The walls changed into a terrible blood red shade with several paintings of children suffering and dead bloody corpses gave Alice shivers. Alice had paid too much attention to the walls to notice the boy was gone. Her eyes widened in fear, where did he go? She started walking aimlessly around the castle, frantically searching for him. He was Alice’s only hope to find the Queen! Suddenly, she came across a pair of massive doors, with a queen chess piece design imprinted on it. It had several other tiny details, making it a masterpiece on the large black doors.

“This has to be it, it’s a queen chess piece!” she told herself and pushed the gates open. She was welcomed into a dark room, the light source only from the dim candles along the large velvet and black striped walls. The floor was covered with sixty-four black and white square tiles, just like a checker board. At the very centre of the room sat a figure wearing a large crown, sitting on a large dark red chair along with a long cape drooping down.

“Welcome, Alice Kirkland.” it said with a rather large grin. Alice adjusted her eyes a bit, trying to get used to the dim lighting, and finally saw its face. There on the massive chair, sat a man with ruffled blond hair, thick bushy eyebrows and piercing emerald green eyes. He looked too similar to the boy with the large rabbit ears, except he had none.

“I would like to speak to the Queen, please.” Alice said firmly, remembering her manners. The man only laughed and smirked, finding it amusing.

“You are speaking to the Queen!” he chuckled. Alice looked puzzled.

“B-but you’re a man!” she exclaimed.

“Love, gender doesn’t matter in this world I’ve created.” replied the ‘Queen’ with a British accent. Alice looked completely disgusted by that fact. What kind of preposterous kingdom would have a male queen?!

“Very well then, I came here today to ask you to bring my friends back and take us back to our world. In other words, make the clocks reverse.” Alice stated, getting straight
