'Tell your other men not to be so stupid. I don't want any unnecessary bloodshed.'
Chen stammered out the words that were paramount on his mind.
'What…..what are you?'
The girl came closer and said in almost a whisper.
'You should remember me, General Chen, and you should have killed me when you had the chance all those months ago.'
Then she removed her glasses and mask and Chen gasped as he looked into her lifeless, yellow eyes and skin that was peeling off in patches from her face. She said her last words to Chen and disappeared with her men.
'My name is Alice Gladwell. They call me the Queen of Wonderland.'
