Chapter 1: Dead of Night Hanging
3rd Person's POV:
It was quiet and peaceful at the Ramshackle dorm, Andie and Grim are sleeping peacefully on their shared bed, both are completely worn out from the eariler events, they immediately passed out the moment they hit their heads on the pillow after Andie changed into her nightgown. Andie shifted from her side with her back facing the door to her other side with her back facing Grim as a bright light appeared and soon died out as we enter Andie's dream.
Dream:
Andie, found herself in some kind of maze garden, "Where am I?" Andie asked herself, she looked down and is shocked at what she's wearing and how her hair is styled.
"OK, this is new." She thought. "But why am I wearing a travel dress like Elsa worn in Frozen 2 with my hair braided?" Andie then heard humming and whistling which made her curious, "What's that?" she begins to follow the humming and whistling as it grew closer and closer with each step she took.
???:
Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
We dare not stop
Or waste a drop
So let the paint be spread
Andie look up at the top of the tall bushes at where the voices singing, she look to her left and saw an entrance and walk towards it,
???:
We're painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
Andie turned to the corner and is completely surprised at what she saw; three card soldiers are singing as they painted the white roses red. Andie's eyes widen the moment she recognized them. "The card soldiers from Alice in Wonderland? But why am I dreaming about this?" Andie asked herself in her mind, she approached them and continue to watch as the cards soldiers continued their little song,
Cards:
Oh, painting the roses red
And many a tear we shed
Three of Clubs:
Because we know
Two and Three of Clubs:
They'll cease to grow
Ace of Club:
In fact, they'll soon be dead
Cards:
NO!!
And yet we go ahead
Painting the roses red
Andie has to admit, she finds this performance cute even if it's only for a brief moment as the Card soldiers went to the next tree. But at the same time, she find it a little sad, she knew the reason why they're painting the roses, because if the Queen of Hearts find out, they'll die.
Cards:
Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
Andie then saw a familiar girl with blond hair, blue eyes and in a powdery blue dress and white apron came up to them.
Alice:
Oh, pardon me,
But Mister Three,
Why must you paint them red?
"Huh? Oh!" Three of Clubs answer her question, "Well, the fact is, Miss, we planted the white roses by mistake and..."
Cards:
The Queen she likes 'em red
If she saw white instead,
They had a fearful look on their faces.
Two:
She'd raise a fuss
Ace:
And each of us
Cards:
Would quickly lose his head!
"Jesus!" Andie cringed at the thought of losing her head as she held her neck as Alice did the same thing, "Goodness!"
Cards:
Since this is the part we dread
We're painting the roses red
Dream end:
Andie slowly blink her eyes open and saw that she's in the Ramshackle dorm again. "What the hell?" She mumbles quietly so she doesn't wake Grim up. "Why was I dreaming about that scene from Alice in Wonderland?" She asked herself in her mind. Her thoughts were cut off when a loud banging came from the front door. "Huh? Who's knocking on the door this late?" "Munyaa... Hey, Andie. Sounds like we have a late-night visitor." Grim mumbled as he slowly wakes up. "I know." Andie mumbled as she slowly sat up as the loud banging continues. "What? Is it those ghosts again? They don't know when to quit." "I don't think it's Victor, Hugo and Laverne this time, Grim." Andie said as she crawls out of bed, puts on her night slippers and grabs and puts on her night robe. She picks up Grim and carried him in her arms as they leave their room. Once Andie and Grim arrived at the foyer,
they approached the front door. "Who the hell would come over this late?" Andie asked herself before asking, "Who is it?" "... It's me, Ace. Let me in." "Ace?" Andie arc an eyebrow, "What the hell is he doing here this late?" Andie opens the door, but she and Grim wasn't expecting what they saw on Ace. "Ace? What're you doing here this late... Gehgeh! You have a collar!!" Grim yelled as Andie's eyes widen. Ace is wearing the same collar the red-haired guy put on Grim at the entrance ceremony! "I'm never going back to Heartslabyul. Starting today I'm joining your dorm!" "Say what?" "Come again!?" "HOLY GREAT SEVEN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING?!" Ace shrilled, blushing bright red when he noticed Andie's nightgown. Andie rolled her eyes, not caring at this point. "Never mind that." She groans in annoyance before she grabbed his shirt and dragging him inside, knowing this night just got weirder.
(A/N: I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter, I decided to add the scene from the movie into my story, instead of the scene in the game, that's what I'm planning to do for the series, so the scenes from the movies might be a long, just to give you guys a heads up. Also, quick thank you to Nqchristine18 for this cute picture of Andie with Malleus!
Stay safe and see you guys in the next one!)
