Before Madison was the rabbit that she was now, she had lived an extremely different life. Like many children, she had a mother and a father who were very happy to be together. When Madison lived with her parents, she was not known as Madison, her name was Alice Harte. Now Alice wasn’t particularly different than any other three year old, she was curious, playful, and all together happy. She had a variety of toys and games that she loved to play, however her favourite were hiding and go seek, her stuffed white rabbit named Dina, and finally her small baking set, which came complete with small bowls and spoons, that were in her size.
The baking set was a gift from her mother, who was in fact a baker herself. Often, Alice would find herself playing a variety of games on the floor of the bakery while her mother was hard at work. It wasn’t uncommon for her mother to find Alice sneaking away a few cookies from the kitchen, afterall Alice had an unusual sweet tooth.
Despite her mother’s amazing talents, Alice developed a love of music at a very young age from her father who he himself was becoming a rather famous pianist. However, despite the beauty that his music was providing to the world, there was one individual who foud disgust in his work. Instantly, a rivalry between them grew. First beginning at a competitve level but slowly entered a point where their deeds took a turn for the worst.
One Sunday afternoon, Alice was taking part in a classic game of hiding go seek with her father. It was Alice’s turn to go hide at this point, and so she ran off with Dina and made her way to the kitchen where her mother was busy with making a loaf of bread for dinner that evening. But as Alice was looking for a hiding spot, her mother noticed someone other than her father in the hallway heading towards the piano room.
“Alice…” She said with a slight whisper to her voice.
“I want you to hide in here with Dina, and don’t move unless myself or your father says so. Do you understand?” Her mother’s whispers were full of urgency as she began to push Alice into the cupboard, which held various pots and pans.
“Why?” Alice repsonded only looking at her mother curiously, for she had no idea what was going on.
“Stay here, Alice. And I want you to be very quiet while your father and I come find you.” She began to close the cupboard complete.
“Yes Mom.” The girl nodded and hugged her rabbit tightly. She had to stayed quiet, as she was now surronded by darkness.
After a few moments in the dark, Alice heard a loud scream of horror followed by a variety of noises. It was definitely hard to make out what was going on, but she did not move. Her mother told her to stay put. Alice was determined to win.
Alice remained in that cupboard for a long period, before coming out of her hiding spot. It was hard to say what was taking so long, she wouldn’t be surprised if they had forgotten where she was hiding. Slowly, she made her way out of the cupboard and began to search for her parents. She had a sickening feeling in her stomach, something wasn’t right. Her house was too quiet, way too quiet.
The first room that the girl looked was her father’s faithful piano room, where the large grand piano sat ever so still. On the floor infront of the piano, Alice only saw her mother and father laying on the ground with a dark pool surronding them. Both of their necks were slit as her mother also had multiple wounds to her body.
She didn’t remember much after that. But she did know that it wasn’t long before Alice found herself taken away from the family she knew and loved and brought to a new building where other boys and girls lived.
An orphanage…
