Gil has been abandoned, left in the dark; He resents Oz for what he had done 3 years ago. But one day he gets an unexpected visitor- can Oz save Gil from the darkness that looms in his heart or is it to late to heal the broken man. (OzBert)

-WARNING EXTREME SPOILERS THROUGHOUT, YOU HAS BEEN WARNED-

"We are going to stop Glen, this is a fight between me and Alice ALONE, forget about me, Gil"

Gilbert jolted away from the bed, breathing heavily as he surveyed his surroundings desperately clutching his bed sheets as he recovered from the nightmare. It was still dark out but the Raven decided to get out of bed. He stroked back the strands of hair from his face, his scalp was smoothed flat from 3 days build up of grease, he had slept in his clothes that consisted of black slacks and a blue long sleeved shirt that -like its owner- needed to be washed, the left sleeve hung lifeless, never to be filled. Gil had been thinking about getting a prosthetic arm but hadn't had the time to get one processed. Besides skipping showers and acquiring a chin full of stubble- the man was in pretty good shape as he dragged himself to the balcony with pack of cigarettes in hand.

Gil placed a cigarette in his mouth then took a match and spliced it across the brick wall, creating a flame as he lit the end and breathed in the poison as he overlooked the view. You could see a full moon in the horizon, 'the moon is so lonely' he felt he could relate as he thought about the nightmare, 'alone' Gilbert was indeed alone, depressed and a prisoner in his mind ever since his sunlight left. He sighed and through frustration he put out the cigarette and retreated indoors to take a needed shower.

Gil rented a room above a street pub; he left Pandora and traded his apartment in Reveil for a city in poverty, at least nobody treated him as a Noble here. He lives on money he gained from selling his possessions- including his hat and revolvers- selling his old life except for his long coat as he needed that for the winter.

He dried himself and changed into a white shirt and black trousers before sitting on a chair facing the window. He waited for the sunrise as he slowly drifted back to sleep

"Oz wait!" shouted Gilbert as he chased the blonde and the rabbit, he struggled to maintain his balance from the loss of his arm but eventually he got into a steady rhythm. He rounded a corner expecting to see his master but instead he made contact with the ground. Gil looked down at what caused his fall, steel chains had emerged from the dirt and clasped around the man's ankles, enabling him to get up. Gilbert recognised the shackles 'These are B-rabbits chains'. Oz emerged from behind a rock that Gil had passed. The latter stared at his master confused, "Oz, what are you doing?"

The blonde knelt down and stroked the man's head. His eyes were glazed but emotionless, almost cold, "I'm sorry Gil" Oz turned to where Alice stood "Me and Alice are going to stop Glen" Gil couldn't believe what the boy was saying. Oz stood and returned to the girl "so please Gil... don't follow us" Gil struggled with the chains but he managed to loosen them. However Oz swung his hand in a swift motion, creating more chains to appear and wrap around the man's torso and arm, completely restricting him, "Oz let me go!"

"Gil!" silencing the man, "this is a fight between me and Alice, and me and Alice Alone" a bright light emerged from beneath the duo as it began to enshroud them. "What the fuck are you saying?" no matter how much he tried, Gil couldn't shift the chains, "Forget about me Gil...please live you life" then he was gone, leaving Gilbert in the darkness once again. Gil hated being alone. His eyes began to water as the chains that bind him began to shatter and crumble- along with his heart.

A loud knock at the door woke the sleeping Raven; he nearly fell of the seat. He realized it was light out but the clouds concealed the sun as the knocking continued accompanied with the person shouting. Gil had wanted to ignore it and go back to sleep but he instantly recognized the voice.

"Oi... Seaweed head!" great this was all Gilbert needed "I know you're in there... Open up" she started kicking the door senselessly until it opened, but was immediately blocked by Gilbert as he scowled at the small girl before him. 'She still looked as stupid as ever thought Gil' "what do you want" glowered the man but Alice ignored him and folded her arms, "So are you going to let me in, or do I have to cut you down" Gil wasn't in the mood so he just let her through, believing she'll leave sooner. Alice walked in and fell on the sofa, placing her boots on the coffee table "Nice place you got here, though I gotta say it took me sometime to track you down" Gil sat opposite her watching her attentively, he just wanted her to leave If he still had his guns he would probably shoot her right there and then.

"Just get to the point Rabbit" Alice sighed and did as she was told, this surprised the man. "Look I don't want to fight... its just that Oz sent me to find you" her eyes fell as she continued, "He said I mustn't return until I find you and bring you to him", Gil grew weary of the girl, 'that doesn't sound like Oz' "Hn... nice try Rabbit but Oz doesn't care about me" he stood and opened the door, gesturing for Alice to leave. She scoffed and made her way to the front door "Fine be that way" Gil watched her assuring himself of her departure. She had almost left the corridor when she said "it not like Oz is dying" this alarmed the man and he ran after the girl, grabbing her by the arm "what did you say" Alice smirked "Hun... so you do care" Gil let go of her and resumed to his room, "Just go... get out of my sight" he stopped but he didn't look at the girl "And ill have you know that I don't care" "Liar!" Alice shouted down the hall "If you didn't care then you would never have opened the door"

Gil hated himself for agreeing to see Oz and he hated to admit that Alice had gotten smarter. Gil grabbed his coat and a green scarf- as it had become cold out, and followed the Rabbit. They were walking in the deserted streets as Gil kept his distance from the girl like she was infectious. Neither of them spoke as the silence remained. Gil noticed how the clouds were forming, 'Must be rain soon' the silence was suddenly broken, "AAAACHOOO!" sneezed Alice as she wiped her nose with her sleeve, 3 minutes passed when she sneezed again and again, frustrating the man. She ex pulsed once more causing Gil to take action, "Geez'... hold still" he grabbed her shoulder and removed his scarf and began wrapping the fabric around her neck, she wanted to resist but the man suddenly placed his hand on her forehead, "You have a temperature". Alice sniffed then smacked the man's hand away "I'm fine, we're almost there anyway" she tightened her grip on the scarf and continued walking with Gilbert in tow.

They arrived at the Rainsworths Estate, 'off course' thought Gil- the estate was a lot smaller than the main Manor but it was the perfect place to harbour unreliable companions- he hadn't spoken to Lady Sharon or Break in over 2 years, he was beginning to make a hasty retreat till he heard... "Don't worry... Eques has gone out along with that clown" said Alice as she ascended up the stairs. Gil felt relieved but a little saddened, it would have been nice to see Lady Sharon...but Break was another story. They were approaching the ground living area, when Alice stopped "He's in there" she nodded towards the double cream doors at the end of the hall. Gil slowly approached the room, leaving Alice. "I missed your cooking" he stopped and turned but she was gone, he couldn't contain his smile, he secretly missed that stupid rabbit. He turned back to the room ahead and his smile faltered. Oz, his master, his missing light which abandoned him 3 years ago were behind these doors.

Gil clasped his hand round the door handle and began debating whether he should enter. His long, lost master, who had saved him 18 years ago, was waiting for him in the next room. He took a deep breath, collecting words to say but instead he decided to improvise.

Everything looked the same. The cream couch with laced cushions, whitewashed walls and bookshelves filled with Lady Sharron's collection of romance novels. The large window balcony; where they used to have tea in the summer, whilst absorbing the stunning garden. From the other end of the room, basking in sunlight stood 'Oz'.
