Ah yes, again I continue this story to improve myself and to relieve me from my boredom. I really need to improve (damn, might have plenty of mistakes there. I just hope that I don't detiorated). I wrote this on my free time, but next week I might not because of...... exams...ahem..maths... so I'll continue later.
CHAPTER 1: House of Dolls
As we entered the house, I saw the interior of the living room, it was very beautifully decorated with many sorts of furniture, but what attracted my attention was, the dolls sitting around the shelves. There are so many of them! And the books too lying around reminded me of the days when I was still in the toyshop. The dolls here moved and flew around doing chores. Some of the dolls were dressed differently and beautifully, while most of them dressed the same as if they wore a uniform, other than that there were a variety of them.
While still holding me and her book, Alice went to the other room, also filled with dolls. Their gaze followed Alice as she walked towards a table. There, she sat on a chair then gave her book to one of the dolls nearby and instructed her to place it in her room.
Alice then placed me on the table and began to inspect me. She turned me around. I felt something was attached to me and through it I felt some sort of energy flowed down to my body. Afterwards, she carried me to a hand-sewing machine.
?I might as well add something.? she began sewing. Back then, I used to be sleeveless, but now I wore black detached-sleeves made by Alice. She was very happy that her work was done. Just as she placed me back at her work table, a doll flew to her and whispered something in her ears.
?Ah, yes. I had to thank Yukari, but then I have to go to a meeting in Makai tonight as well.? Alice sighed as she as prepared to leave, then one of her dolls brought back the book she was holding just now to her.
?All right everyone! Return to your shelves and guard the house. I?ll be gone for a while.? the dolls immediately return to their shelves just as Alice had instructed, except for four dolls which followed her outside before she closed the door and locked it.
Ten minutes had passed. My fingers began to twitch. I stood up slowly and began to observe the environment around me. The other dolls began moving, some of them yawned before they stood up and some others had already begun to fly around. The dolls socialized with each other. It was enjoyable seeing them interacting with each other.
I sit on the table and kept watching them. I wanted to join them as well, but I was too nervous and shy when I thought that, when everyone here knew each other, only I was foreign to them.
Suddenly, a doll shouted ?Attention! Gather round everyone, I have some announcement that you all may want to hear!? I stood up and walked to the edge of the table to see where it came from. The other dolls began to form a crowd; their attention was directed at doll standing at a pile of books.
?As you all may know, Alice may not return for a while, but when I meant for a while is actually a week!? the doll standing at a pile of books had a blonde, long hair. She wore an elegant black-red dress, a white shawl over her shoulders, and a red ribbon on her head.
The dolls cheered afterwards.
?Hush, I still have other announcement to sa-?
Just as she spoke, her sentence was cut off by another. ?Our dear general Hourai, I would also love to say something.? The doll standing on the pile of books sighed as she heard the voice that spoke just now.
From the crowd of dolls, I saw one particular doll moving amongst the crowd, towards the one who was about to deliver another announcement just now before she was interfered. She has a brown and long hair, wore a gray dress with a gray coat, a leather tricorn hat, a cutlass sheathed beside her white sash around her waist, and around her neck, a coin as an amulet. She walked, swaggering passed other dolls while touching one of their shoulders, slapping their back or even holding their waist and greeting them while she?s at it. From what I can tell, she was a bit awkward in my opinion.
?Sorry mate, lemme pass, coming throug- Oh oops, don?t slap me.? she kept walking till she reached the doll in black-red.
?Tortuga, what ?news? do you wish to tell us which I didn?t already know?? the doll in black-red questioned the doll with the tricorn hat.
?There should be a ?captain? there somewhere? Though I have no ?Nightsparrrow?.? saying that, then she continued to answer the question.
?Well first, I would like to say sorry to some of you whom I gambled against as you all came to me unprepared, savvy.? she talked and smiled as she flail her arms around.
There was a tense atmosphere, everyone went silent. Some dolls on the crowd had a mad and angry expression as the doll with the tricorn hat mentioned her first ?announcement?.
??Well, the second is for Hourai.? her head then turned towards the doll in black-red.
?Since our dear mother will not be here for a while, why don?t we continue our work somewhere tonight then you can have all my possession and if you still hate me, I am soon going to be destroyed anyway? Maybe? You only need to say aye.?
?I-? just as she was about to continue, her right hand was grabbed.
?Okay! Good mate, let?s go!? before she could run with her, her neck was grabbed from behind by another doll, and the doll in black-red aimed her left palm that was glowing purple in front of her face.
?No, I won?t and never agree to this, Captain.? the doll in black-red said, grinning at the one wearing the tricorn hat.
?Okay mate, could you please tell your mate, Shanghai to stop hurting me. I know it?s her.? as she point the doll behind her who wore an elegant black-blue dress with an apron, also with a red ribbon on her head. Her face looked cheerful and innocent.
?Kay Sis!? she said cheerfully before releasing the neck that she grabbed.
The doll in black-red continued her announcement ?Second announcement, we have a newcomer amongst us so be sure to greet her well, and the third announcement, enjoy the week and have fun. That is all.? with that her announcement is off. The newcomer she referred to was probably me.
Even though the announcement was over, the doll crowds still stood, facing her.
?Well then, go on! Off ye go!? the one with the tricorn spoke, then all the dolls realized themselves and hurriedly scattered, doing what they want to do, probably.
?And I hope Sparta isn?t angry at me anymore or it?ll be her feet or her spear, mate?
I walked back to the center of the table, sitting on this work table, still watching the dolls as they socialized with each other. Only I was alone, my thoughts just now still overwhelm me.
Suddenly, I saw a doll reached up to the table. The doll stood near me as she closely observed me. I was speechless; I didn?t know what to say to her, so I only gave a friendly smile. The doll curiously looked over me.
She has a white hair, as white as the snow, a black headband on her head; she also wore a white dress and a cross round her neck. The colour of her eyes are silver-white, same as mine.
As I stare down for a moment, then when I raised my head, she wasn?t there anymore. Suddenly, somebody hugged my neck from behind. I was surprised.
?Nunu (what)!?? I soon began to relax, but who could?ve suddenly hugged me from behind? I felt something on my right shoulder; I turned my head to it and saw her head relaxed on it. She was quite cute, to be honest.
---------------------------------------
I flew towards a tree branch and began to stand on it. I shall await the others from here, and then we will begin. Behind me, is an army enough to surround the house but even so, we must still plan carefully or-
?Commander, all forces have arrived, assembled and are awaiting for your command.?
Ah, I really don?t like interruptions you know but, I guess I?ll let that pass. Beside me, my subordinate, a former prisoner whose head I really wanted to crack right now. But-
?Ma?am?? she said. She dare interrupt me again while I?m thinking! I glared my eyes at her. Her eyes looked terrified and her body was shaking, but other than that I am still angry. So?
?Your arm?
?Uh? What??
She dared questioned me now! I swear if she wasn?t useful at all, I would?ve already made a torture dummy out of her all day!
?Somebody, hold her! I?ll have her right arm cracked!? now I am certainly going to enjoy this if not, then her right eye will do.
?Wha- Wait, you?ve already done my left and my right is almost-?
?I do not want ?almost?, I want ?completely? do you understand dear? Prisoner??
I grabbed her arm and start squeezing it till I can hear a crack sound or the sound of crying pain.
Finally, her scream of pain and the sound of a crack were welcomed to my ears.
?Next time, it?ll be your thigh and your right eye, but for my free time your waist will do.? I giggled. It was a pleasure seeing her writhing in pain, crying over an arm right now. How pathetic she is, if I had never enjoyed watching her in her miser, already I?ll have all four of her limbs and both her eyes removed immediately to be kept as a spare part for our crippled.
Our army marched towards our enemy fortress. It is from there, we will begin to fight our own kind.
--------------------------------------------
So I will continue this chapter later on.
Not a very creative title I put there and I hope I don't bore anyone (my writing might be too simple or confusing like not properly). I'll fix any mistakes here, if you can point out my mistake (might be embarassingly many, again) it would be very much appreciated so I can get it fixed as soon as I can. I thought of sea turtles when I made Tortuga, and it is obvious who she is, obviously.
Now, to study maths,history *yawn*
Is that so~ *lights off* hehe, at least I used a laptop "Is that so~" I hope that came from my mind.
