The Strange Peculiar Bizarre Town Alice, Alex And Malice Part Seven

 The Fever

Alice woke up. She was sweating and smelling of smoke. She could see that she was wearing all black and she saw that there were dots of dried blood all over her. She felt nauseous and she placed a hand on her forehead and noticed that she had a temperature. She noticed that her whole body was covered in sweat making her feel cold. She coughed and spat out some flem.

"Jaden! Help!" She moaned.

Yet she did not come.

"Jaden! Help! Please!"

Yet she still did not come. Why did she not come? She started to cry as the nausea became unbearable. She had to get to the loo. Yet as she climbed out of bed she frowned.

This isn't my room. Why aren't I in my room? Where am I? Why am I here? Why am I ill? Why is this happening? Where's Jaden? Why isn't she here?

She broke down crying as she realised just how lost she was. As she saw a blur a white blur beside the bed that she was sleeping on. She looked over to it and wiped her eyes as she picked it up.

To Alice and Alex

You can't go home! You can't trust Jaden or Danté

or Matilda anymore. I am the only one you can 

trust now and I will protect you. I am the only one

who can protect you.

Malice 

Her eyes widened as she read it. 

Oh no! Why? Why can't I trust her anymore? Who is Malice? I don't like the sound of her. Who's Alex? Why is this addressed to both of us? Oh, mummy and daddy, I wish that you were here. Why did you die and leave me alone here? I don't like this place. I wanna leave. I wanna run away from this horrible town and never come back!

She cried and cried as she clutched her stomach. She tasted the grim taste of acid in her saliva. She left the room and ran down the maze of corridors. She soon found the bathroom. She ran to the loo and threw up. She did not like the feeling of the food coming up with the grim taste of her stomach acid. She thought that it was over as she took a shaky breath. Then she felt her throat tighten and more came. She stayed there at the loo until she felt her stomach settle. She flushed the chain and washed her hands. She drank some water and washed her mouth. Then she needed to urinate and after her business was done she flushed and washed her hands again.

She became tired. She left the bathroom. She dared not to go anywhere near the kitchen. After all, she did not want a single piece of food in her stomach. She was afraid that she would only throw it back up again. She soon found and almost got to the bed until her weakness got to her and she fainted.

Alex soon woke up on an empty stomach. She wiped the sweat off her brow. She then saw the note. Upon reading it her eyes widened in anger.

Who the hell is Malice? And what gave her the right to tell me what to do? What the hell was the whole 'you can't trust Jaden, Danté and Matilda' thing all about anyway?

No. None tell me what to do! No, I am getting out of here and I will ask Jaden who this Alice and Malice are. She must know. She thought in her foggy state of mind. 

She soon dived to her feet and noticed that she had a fever. She could feel that she was as cold as ice. She knew that she was ill and her mind was tired. So she climbed into bed. She soon went to sleep.

She soon saw out of someone's eyes. She saw that it was a man. He had very handsome features. He had very narrow brown eyes, almost black and long brunette hair that was below the shoulders.

"Please no. Not today."

He hit a woman with blue eyes and black hair with white streaks.

"I can do what I like, woman! After all, who else will have you?" He shouted as he hit her again and again until she cried.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll- I'll be good!" She cried.

"Good."

She woke up again. She did not understand what she had just seen and nor did she like it. However she knew that the lady needed saving. Yet she was in no position to do so. So she closed her eyes and hoped that didn't have to see what happened next.

She saw through another's eyes. She saw that she was looking through the eyes of a vampire with long silver hair. He looked at a boy who was playing alone with his ball. He looked around to see that there was none around. He raced to the boy. Soon she was feeling the taste of iron. She woke up screaming.

It was too late to save the boy. Yet she knew that the vampire, whoever he was, had to be stopped.

She closed her eyes again, feeling nothing but dread as she was pulled back into sleep. She saw through the eyes of a woman with green eyes and her black hair. She looked at a man. She stroked his face. She felt a smile spread across her lips. She could feel the man getting colder and colder. He too had a fever. Yet sur was doing nothing to help her. Then felt his pulse stop. 

"Well that makes husband number eight."

She woke up already knowing what she had just done. 

She fell asleep again. She saw a woman go to the police. She was crying.

"Please. My boyfriend…"

"He- he did this to me!" She cried revealing a bruise on her shoulder. They soon rushed off but when they left she stayed behind, revealing a little smile that none of them saw.

She woke up shocked and disgusted by what that woman did.

I can't believe that she hurt herself to frame her boyfriend like that. She thought as she felt better than she had in ages.

She fell back to sleep. She saw a boy her age. He was throwing rocks at something. She did not know what until she saw a kitten with a patch of blood on its shoulders. He threw another at the little creature. It only managed to get away.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to hit the kitchen mother!"

"And did you hit?"

"Just once."

"Good."

What the hell? Is there no justice in this town? Why do these people have to live here? She thought as night fell.
