Author comments: Booyaka! (Now I'm Selphie)! Damn, this fic… is going to get weird, very weird…
Uh, my first PH story, my official first story… As on the other one I published the wrong, incomplete file. This story is AU, related to vampires ('cuz they're awesome) and honestly, I'm not sure if this should be M-rated, there's just a few of blood and kissing (some kids find it gross though)…
Anyway, the pairing is Break x Alice [BreLice], although it's more like Kevin x Alice; with very light hints of Reim x Sharon and some Alice-Shipping.
Well then, enjoy!
*Nee… – Say/Hey…
*Yoroshiku onegai shimasu – It's a pleasure to meet you!
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own P Hearts, Jun Mochizuki owns it. It's better that way though, if I was charge… I don't even want to imagine.
~ A brief introduction ~
.
Sablier was an average town, and as any average town, there were things feared among the neighborhood.
Child of Misfortune, Child of the Ill Omen, Blood-eyed Cursed Ones, it had many names; back there, having red eyes granted you absolute alienation from everyone else, sometimes even from your own relatives…
Alice Baskerville was a little 9 years old girl, with long brown hair and gladly, amethyst eyes; her family said gladly due to her mother, Lacie Baskerville, with dark brown hair had red eyes and knew the pain of having them. Alice had a cheerful and very innocent personality, not knowing many things, such as why people say bad things about her mother bringing misfortune.
Her father, Levy Baskerville, with white hair and also amethyst eyes, told her to not worry, that her mother was already used to them and the things the other kids said were all lies.
~A little time later, the current time flow…

Alice was having a walking home but stopped when she noticed that there where a group of kids surrounding someone with purplish white hair.
"Hm, what's happening here? Are they playing a game or something?"Little naïve Alice's curiosity got its best.
But when she arrived, it was something she really did not expect. She saw the older kids messing with a younger kid and calling him 'freak' and 'misfortune monster'. That made Alice frown, reminding her about the things people said about her mother.
So she decided to chime in the mess, with a very angry yet adorable look "Hey, what are you guys doing to him?!" Said Alice, trying to look brave. The group got her attention "Leave us alone, Alice!" "This has nothing to do with you!" Those words came from the group. "You bet it has! Why don't you go mess with someone of your own size?"
During the mess, the little boy stood up and ran away "Hey…!" Alice started running too, but after him. She wanted to know why the other kids where messing with him.
After running a little, the kid finally stops and Alice was capable of reaching him, panting with her hands on her knees.
"*pant* Hey… you run… too fast…*pant*" The boy turned to her and asked "Why are you following me?"
Alice straightened herself and after another little pant "I just wanted to know something, why where those kids messing with you?"
The boy frowned a little and avoided eye contact with her "Why do you want to know, aren't you afraid of me?" Alice was more confused, was she supposed to be afraid of him? "Why do I need to be afraid of you?" The boy frowned even more, and his fists start trembling.
"That's… because… I have… red eyes… And I bring… misfortune to everyone…" He finally lifted his head, allowing Alice to see his eyes, amethyst meets crimson.
"Yeah, so? My mommy has red eyes and I don't fear her, she's kind to me and never brought misfortune to anyone." The boy's fists stopped trembling a little and Alice's comment left him more interested.
"So, you don't fear me?" He received a nod from Alice, "My eye colour doesn't scare you?" She nodded twice "Yeah! I think that your eyes are pretty!" Little Alice gave him a big smile, making him blush a little.
He started smiling too after receiving Alice's kindness. "Nee, you wanna be my friend?" And that just left him happy, he already had friends but they were countable with the fingers of one hand alone and they were more like family to him, so having an outsider real friend just made him happy. Alice was still waiting for an answer and he finally gave her one "Okay then, I'll be your friend, my name's Kevin Regnard, and you must be Alice right?" The little girl nodded another time and showed happiness due having a new friend.
"Yeah! Alice Baskerville, yoroshiku onegai shimasu! I'm 9 old, how 'bout you?" She bowed a little and smiled even more. But when she lifted her face, she seemed scared"What's wrong with her, did something happen?"Kevin started to worry but then she "Oh no! It's so late! I forgot about going home! Mommy's going to kill me!"
Kevin sighed a little but he was relieved that wasn't something that bad, until he remembered something as well… "Oh God! I forgot that I have to go home now! I'm going to die today!" They both were panicked but after looking to each other they started laughing.
"Well then, bye-bye Kevin! See ya tomorrow!" Alice waved him goodbye and started running to her home. Kevin waved as well, but now, with a big, true smile on his face. "Alice, huh? I though I'll never met someone like that again, someone that praised my eyes' colour and that wanted to be my friend, she's kind and naïve, stubborn and clumsy, I think if she ever met Sharon, they would be great friends."
And the lonely boy ran his way back home, hoping that his parents weren't going to kill him, and happy for meeting someone nice to him, knowing that he wasn't lonely anymore.
~back at the Baskerville residence…

"ALICE LIDELL BASKERVILLE! Where were you, miss?!" Lacie shouted at her daughter after the latter gets home, her father was also there to start the interrogatory.
"I'm sorry, mommy! It's just that some meanie kids were messing with Kevin and I went to save him!" Alice started apologizing to her mother but she remembered that her father doesn't get that happy whenever she mentioned a boy. When she slowly turned to Levy, the latter had a very menacing aura around him.
"Alice, who is this Kevin one?" Levy's tone was calm but Alice and Lacie knew when he was angry. "H-He's just a boy I met today daddy, he's a nice person, so trust me!" After hearing that, Levy got calmer; there was simply no way that he would let his precious daughter be around anyone, especially a boy.
"Okay then, you're safe because you were helping someone. But Alice, why were those kids messing with him?" Lacie's angry tone is gone, and knowing her daughter, what the latter said was true; Alice wasn't the type of child that lied. "I don't know well too, it is something about his eyes, Kevin has red eyes too like mommy's eyes but his are darker!"
After hearing her, both Lacie and Levy frowned "A youngster that has to suffer from discrimination…" Levy sighed and stared at the ceiling. "Why do they even do that to kids? They didn't wish to be born with red eyes, and most of all, their parents teach them about discriminating those with red eyes…" Thought Lacie; she knew how it was to be discriminated, but she simply didn't give attention to the insults. Despite the cruelty within many, there were still good people in Sablier.
"But it looks like everything's awright now! Kevin is now my friend!" Alice smiled, and so did her parents, slowly.
"Ah, and you know? He has weird hair! I don't know if it's white or purple!" Her parents giggled at how innocent their daughter can be.
~this time at the Regnard residence…

"Nee Kevin, is Alice pretty?" A little 11 old girl asked Kevin. The latter returned home and explained the whole situation, thus his parents weren't mad at him, but when he arrived, his friends were at his house.
"*blush* Kinda *blush…" Kevin answered "But why are you so interested in her, Sharon?" Sharon Rainsworth had light brown hair and pinkish eyes, which after Kevin's question started to sparkle. "Well~ that's because Kevin's girlfriend has to be pretty and kind~." Sharon's answer made Kevin blush even more.
"*blush* S-she's not my girlfriend! *blush*" Kevin was very embarrassed, Alice is pretty and kind… but… she isn't Kevin's girlfriend.
"Dear God, did Kevin Regnard, the most emo kid at Sablier from the beginning of time, blush?" A 12 old boy faked an amazed face. Kevin was blushing even more and annoyed. "Why Reim…you…!" Reim Lunettes had short brown hair, brown eyes and he wore glasses, which got stolen by Kevin. "AH! Give me them back!" Reim was trying to reach his glasses, but Kevin was taller than him.
"NO way~ it's your punishment for messing with your elders!" Kevin laughed after seeing that there was no way of Reim getting his glasses back. "Aw, c'mon Kevin! Our age difference is only of half year!" While Reim whined at the smiling Kevin, Sharon giggled.
"And the age difference between me and Alice is of 4 years…" Kevin sighed to himself, why he worried about it anyway?
