Sacrifice 25: Catherine

One-shot for The_Land_Mermaid. I hope you enjoy even if it's short since I didn't really find much inspiration for this one.

"Nope, nope, nope, nope!" Alice says as she looks through the disorder that is the library of her Murderland. She sighs and drops on a pile of books.

"I'm so disorganized. But I don't have time to tidy up. Well, it's time to find a sacrifice who can organize and keep track of my books!" Alice says and grins as a bookshelf starts to fall to crush her. She closes her reddish-brown eyes and opens them back in the world of the wakened humans. She sits up and stretches on the luxury bed.

"Ah, I think I'll keep this rich mortals home for awhile. Now to see who I can use as my slave for my library?" Alice says to herself as she closes her eyes. "Hmm, an orphan that won't be missed. I'm sure her brother will be glad to be rid of the burden of taking care of a sister." Alice opens her eyes again and changes into a red Lolita dress and skips out of the mansion, jumping over the dead bodies of the former residents of the mansion.

Alice skips all the way to the house of her prey and then goes in through the open window. She hears a scream and slips in and looks up to see a silver haired young woman with midnight blue streaks, blue eyes, pale porcelain skin, wearing a black and midnight blue lolita dress and black knee high leather heel boots. Alice scrunches her nose at the dress and girl she thinks looks hideous and stands up.

"What are you doing in my room?! I'm gonna call the cops!" She yells out at Alice as she grabs her phone. Alice rolls her eyes and kicks the phone out of her hand, breaking it in the process. The girl stares at her stunned at her action while Alice looks at her.

"I'm not here to take anything, lady. I came here for help. You see, I ran away from some bad people and this was the only place I could find with an open window so I took my chance and slipped in." Alice lies to the young woman convincingly. She slowly becomes disinterested as she hears her explanation and sighs.

"Well, I guess you can stay here until you feel safe. But you owe me a new phone." She says to Alice.

"Oh yes, don't worry I'll get you a new one." Alice says with a kind smile, and is already growing tired of the kind façade. She walks towards her closet and looks through her clothes.

"Oh what tacky colors. They remind me of someone unpleasant." Alice says. She becomes slightly annoyed by Alice's rude comment.

"You know, I'm letting you stay here. The least you could do is not be so rude." She says with annoyance. Alice smirks and looks back with a fake apologetic gaze.

"I'm so sorry, Catherine!" Alice says to the silver and blue haired girl. Catherine frowns and wonders how she knew her name. Alice grins and moves away from the closet, leaving it open. Catherine shakes her head in annoyance and goes to close the closet but vines with thorns grab her arms and legs.

"Ah, I forgot to mention that I was kidding and I was just looking for a book keeper to fix up my library! So give me your heart and become my slave." Alice says and tears out Catherine's heart before the vines pull her into the closet. Alice eats the heart and then sets the room on fire. She skips out of the house and returns to the mansion she took for herself.

Catherine awakens, but she is herself other than the new cat ears and tail that match her silver and blue hair. She looks around the enclosed library and the mess of books all around her. Catherine sighs and rises from the ground and looks at her new form.

"Well, looks like I'm a Cheshire Cat and today onward I will keep this library as Ms. Alice has instructed from me. I wonder if she will bring Jack. . ."

Alice looks through the books and sees Catherine. She looks at the young woman with a neutral expression and stands back up.

"What a boring sacrifice, I'm sure he lover will be just the same. But I might as well get her that little boyfriend of hers if I want my slave to be efficient. Alice dislikes being nice. Oh well!" The brunette with red bangs says as she skips out the library and goes to cause more trouble for the humans in this world.
