Sacrifice 18: Lance Skye Hell (Blood Monster)

This is another request from a reader: Seirin_Satsuki28! I hope you enjoy your first one shot! On another note, it seems something happened with my other requests. I can no longer see them, so don't think I'm ignoring your request. If your request isn't up it means I can NOT view it. Forgive me!

She hangs upside on a tree, her long dark brown hair dangling over her head, and her red bangs blow around her eyes, casting a shadow over them as she grins darkly. She looks into the house across the tree, into the window in a dimly lit room. Her eyes gleam a crimson red as she sees a young boy no more than fifteen years of age slam into it.

"My goodness, the people that are supposed to love you shouldn't do such a thing. That's Alice's job." Alice giggles as she watches the young boy being repeatedly beaten by his very own flesh and blood, his father.

"Lance Skye Hell, one of two twins, blamed for the death of their mother, and everyone wants him dead. A young boy that is an excellent target that will easily fall to Alice's sway." Alice flips backwards and lands on the ground gracefully. She twirls around back to the house and grins darkly. She waves at the house and skips away in the opposite directions of the pained screams.

"Lance, are you sure we should be at school. You look like it hurts to walk." Lance's twin brother says to him worriedly. Lance gives him a reassuring smile, ignoring the pain all over his body.

"It's okay, Rain. I'm alright. We'd better get to cla-" Lance stops talking to his brother and looks on ahead to see a girl looking around lost. Her pale hands holding on to the skirt of her red lolita dress. Rain looks at his brother and then looks at the direction he looks at.

"Hey, I've never seen that girl before. She must be new by the lost look on her face. We should help her, Lance." Rain says to his brother who nods and walks with his brother towards the lost girl. She stops as she spots them and smiles gently at them. They both blush a bit and then smile back at her.

"Hey, I'm Rain and this is my big brother Lance. You look lost, can we help you with anything, Miss. . ."

"Alice." She says to them, looking at them with a kind smile that makes both boys trust her. "You're right, I am rather lost. I'm new to this place and it seems I got lost and turned around when I came to explore in this town."

"W-well, we were born here, so we know this place pretty well. We can get you back to your house, Alice." Lance offers her, and Rain nods in agreement.

"That would be very helpful, thank you friends." Alice says to them with a dazzling smile. They can't help but smile back at the innocent girl.

"Okay, so where do you live, Alice?" Lance questions her and Alice puts a finger to her chin, thinking for a bit.

"Oh, I live in the Hawthorn Estate!" She says to them and their eyes go wide in shock. Alice smiles and tilts her head to the side.

"Y-you live th-there?! With who?!" They question her and Alice giggles at their reactions.

"Ah, twins are so funny. And I live there with a few friends of mine." Alice says, her eyes darkening, but they don't notice. She blinks and her gaze is innocent once more.

Lance and Rain look at each other and nod their heads, satisfied with her answer. They smile and lead the way. Once near the home they look back to see Alice had stopped. Her gaze looking down at the dirt ground.

"Alice?" They question her as they walk closer to her. Lance jumps as she puts a hand to his shoulder. She looks at him worriedly and he feels his bruise throb on his shoulder.

"You're hurting. I noticed this when you struggled to walk up here." Alice says, feeling Lance tense up as she realizes this. Rain looks at him worriedly.

"It's nothing. I just fell and landed all wrong on my shoulder." He says to her with a fake smile. Alice smiles and shakes her head.

"I hope someday you can trust me to tell me the truth, Lance. After all I get the feeling we're going to be great friends!" Alice says to him and then skips past them to the manor while the twins are left perplexed by her. They look at each other and leave.

"I hate them, I hate them all. . .I just want them to die." Lance says as he lies on his blood floor as he spits out blood. He glares at his father who leaves his room after giving him his daily beating. He clenches his hands tightly, feeling a burning hatred towards all of those that hate him as well. The only ones who he feels have accepted him are Alice and his younger twin.

"My, my, he sure did a number on you." Lance jumps at the sound of a familiar female voice and looks up at the young girl looking down at him with a dark smile. He shivers a bit, not feeling like he recognizes her.

"Alice?" He questions with a slight tremor in his voice. Alice giggles a bit and pets his head gently.

"My goodness your white hair is dirty with blood. It looks so nice." Alice says and Lance looks at her confused as she pets his head gently. He wonders how she even got there when he didn't even tell her where they live.

"Who are you, Alice?" He questions her softly. Alice grins, showing fangs.

"I'm Alice of Human Sacrifice, and I can make your dreams come true." Alice says to him with a gentle smile. "You want to kill him, don't you? So how about I help you? Although, you have to give something up." Alice says looking into his red eyes. Lance shivers at the prospect, his sanity slowly snapping under her dark gaze.

"My d-dreams?" He questions her and Alice puts a finger over his left eye.

"Shall I make your dreams come true?" Alice questions him and he smiles, feeling completely exhausted.

"Yes. . ."

"Lance? Are you alright, Lance?" Rain questions as he enters his brother's room. He doesn't find him anywhere and becomes concerned. He looks around all over his room and then stops by his bedroom window that is open. He goes to it and looks through it.

"Lance!" He says shocked as he sees him outside, standing over his fallen father, matted in blood. He has a twisted smile and lifts his head up to look at Rain. Rain gasps and looks at Lance's full black eye.

"Rain, I'm finally free. Please come with me and let Lady Alice sacrifice you." Lance to him. Rain looks at his brother horrified and runs away, exiting towards the back of the house.

"Alice!" He yells out as he sees the girl standing outside of the forest. She smiles innocently and lifts her head.

"Rain, it's alright now. Just come with us and you'll never have to worry about getting hurt again." Alice says putting her hand out to him. He takes a step forward and sees Lance appear next to her. Both his eyes back to their normal red color and the red bangs he had earlier have disappeared.

"Come on, Rain. We can be together with Lady Alice. We can get out of this damn village." He says to him and Rain stares at them. He looks at Alice's hand for a moment before putting his own hand out. Slowly walking towards her and putting his hand in hers.

Alice smiles as she grasps his hand and tilts her head to the side.

"Welcome to my Wonderland, Hell brothers."
