Chapter 2: Chapter One : Ink On The Floor
- Can you hear me?! – A sound was echoing around in the void of stars!
- Wh... who is this – Her lifeless body floating through the stars , beyond time and space, got warmer and warmer by time, she opened her eyes and her hazel green eyes were brighter than any stars that were surrounding her.
- I am... Everything and nothing , The End and The Beginning , I am Life and I am death , I am the space and I am the time. I am ... and I am not. – the voice was changing , from male to female, form child to an old person, from human to robot.
Alice gasped, tried to inhale , but there was nothing.
- I... I cant ... - her voice started trembling
- Shhh, Alice , don't fight it. – Human figure appeared infront of her it seemed as if galaxies were forming and being destroyed within the body , billions of stars and billions of galaxies all within Their body, they had no face , no body features, just a shape.
- Alice exhaled her last breath and closed her eyes, as soon as she opened them she was in a microbus.
- Where am I? – she asked to an old lady next to her
- In Wonderlad my dear. – She laughed and poked Alice's nametag.
- Excuse me?! – Alice was confused.
- You're going to work sweetie. Haven't had enough sleep have we. – lady gave her a sweet smile and started searching for something in her bag.
Alice looked down on her uniform, it was classic café uniform. Everything came flooding back.
- Weird, Thank you aunt Mar. – Alice smiled.
- Oh here it is! – Mar Reached down in her bag and grabbed three candies. – here, sugar might help – she gave Alice one more warm smile and stood up. – aren't ya coming down?
- Alice was happy that she was back to her own world, her face lit up in happiness and she quickly stood up. On the way down from the bus she saw a poster , titled "Blackrose- In theaters , April 2023" it was just a black poster with white outline of the rose, below it was an infinity symbol.
- Hey Matt, what's this? - she pointed at the poster
- Whats what?! – Driver was confused and was looking at Alice.
- The Black...
- The Black?!
- Yeah nevermind thanks matt! – the poster was gone , Alice took one candy shaking her head in confusion. – I really do need sugar.- she said to herself and went down from the bus.
The café was packed, people were sitting and enjoying their desserts and coffee , loud speaking of people overlapped each others voices . place seemed happy, lively, Alice, from the counter was looking at the tables, waiting for the costumers to finish their order so she could approach them and ask them what would they like to do.
Feeling better ? – Mar was standing behind Alice.
-Yes, thanks Mar...- Alice sounded Bit nervous , still trying to figure out the dream she had in microbus.
- You seem troubled, is everything okay? – Mar gave her a warm smile as usual.
- Yes , no need to worry – Alice smiled back and grabbed pen and the paper, shook it and pointed at costumers – I better go take an order , hah. – she giggled in an awkward manner and left the counter.
- Mar was shaking her head .
- Poor girl, she's exhausted. – She took one cookie from the counter and went to kitchen,The windchimes on the door started crackling , Lady in a black suit entered the café , she was wearing fur coat, on the neck and sleeves it had red feathers poking out , her curly , well styled hair would catch anyones attention, it was so perfectly styled, an art , some would say.
- Queen has arrived – She said in a hard british accent.
- Everyone looked at her, Lady slowly removed her big round sunglasses, and with her big gray eyes, she started staring at Alice.
- Welcome?! – Alice nearly cracked in laughing but held it back.
- Not familiar with me I see , young one. – her cold eyes were fixed on Alices nametag. – Alice... - she smirked.
- Yeah whatever Karen – she whispered , then looked at her – Why don't you take a seat Lady .. – Alice hesitated.
- Darina ... - She smiled.
- What an interesting name – Alice gave her a cold smile. – right this way – Alice pointed at the open seat and led Darina to the table,
- Here take this and hang it somewhere - Darina removed her fur coat.
- I'm sorry , but this is a café, not a five star restaurant, hang it there , and then we can get started with your order – Alice pointed at the coat hanger.
- Oh, I see, it's fine I’ll keep it with me then – Darina Tried to pat Alices Cheek, Alice moved her head backwards.
- What do you think you're doing? That's not a very Queenish etiquette.
- Oh my dear, don't worry im not being rude. I just like you a lot – Darina smiled at Alice, and sat down. – Ill have an Americano , and a Chocolate cake please. – she raised her eyebrow – no that sounds basic, Instead of Chocolate cake, ill take , hmmm – she looked down on the menu . – Right, Rosepetal cake.
- I'm sorry we don't serve it here.
- Now you do . – she flipped menu and on the bottom of the list it was a chocolate cake with a white rose drawn on it.
- Alices eyes widened up . she shook the pen as a gesture that she will get the order as soon as possible and left her.
- Thank you dear – Darina said right after Alice turned around and hissed like a snake.
- Alice looked back in fear , but Darina was gone, Alice rushed to the counter , and started making herself a strong coffee.
- I Really need to sleep. – she wiped her forehead.
- Is everything alright dear? – Mar gave her a pat on the shoulder.
- AH! - Alice got scared for a moment - Sorry, No , No its just, I've been lacking sleep lately. – Alice took a big sip of coffee.
- You know what? I can tell the manager and we can call Ann to cover your shift or two. What do you say? – Mar gave her a caring smile and rubbed her shoulder.
- That would be amazing .
- I'll tell you the answer as soon as I get one – Mar giggled.
-I need to get checked up with doctor - Alice took a deep breath , then she smiled and shook her head in disbelief .
- I just got off from phone with Ann - Manager came to the counter - she said she needed extra shifts anyways so you're free to take the day off Al .
- Thanks Val, you're the best!

Alice was walking down on her street, she had just finished getting groceries for house , her wireless headphones were glitching and her funky pop tunes were , time by time disturbed by the loud noices of the city.
Night city was packed by tourists , wondering around , dark streets were full of life and neon lights, a sight that would leave anyone passing by speechless, but Alice was used to it, after all it was her home street.
- Follow ! - Alice heared a soothing female voice, in confusion she looked around and saw a red light coming from a small turn.
- Why does this day get weirder and weirder. - she said to her self and started walking faster towards her home, but something was telling her to stop and turn around.
- Follow the light Alice! - voice was heared again
- Hell with it. - alice said turned around and started walking towards the turn
- Good Girl -Voice got closer
- Who are you - Alice said in confusion and started walking deeper into the turn
- I , My dear am Lexx.
- Lexx?
- YAY - voice got closer
- This is creepy im out - alice turned around, a woman in red dress stood infront of her, the Dress was cut out on shoulders , her leg was showing on the left, she wore a black crown on her head, with red stones poking out from the top
- I know its a weird question but, where'd you get that dress - Alice tried to look confident
- I created it dear. - Lexx started moving towards her, her steps were so soft, it seemed as if she was walking on air
- Strike a pose dear? - Alice said in more awkward manner and started walking back
- You'll hit a wall dear child , i think you should be the one striking a pose - Lexx got closer and closer
- What do you want?
- Why my dear, i want you - Lexx got closer and touched alices lips with her thumb
- Wrong tree ? - Alice Tried acting confident but her voice was shaky
- Ugh - Lexx rolled her eyes - I'm married , i meant wanting you in a different way - she removed thumb from Alices lips and turned around - You see , We're at the verge of a war...
- WW3 you mean? - Alice shook her head
- Are you playing dumb on purpose ?
- No im playing clueless , because i have no other role to play - Alice replied awkwardly
- Listen little one , world is about to enter a new phase - Lexx shook her head - MMM , the smell of the energy that surrounds you - she got closer and hugged alice - You're the one indeed - she instantly dissapeared in thin air , leaving alice alone and confused
