My first song fic. Song used is "Shattered" By Trading Yesterday. I think it fits really well with this book. This takes place at the end of Living Dead girl, but unlike my las fic, this time if Alice had actually died

Please review!

...

The once fragile, tortured girl opens her eyes to blinding sunshine. Shapeless shadows she can only faintly see are moving above her.

Wordlessly, she stirs, pulling herself to her feet, trying to sort out where she is and where she must go, as the shadows pass her, knowing they can offer her nothing.

Yesterday I died, tommorow's bleeding

Forward, she runs, paniced and terrified of this unexplainable world, shrouded in brilliant light that stings her eyes. She runs, trying to escape the light, to escape this place.

Fall into your sunlight

No one reaches out to help her. They have all been in her place before, and as she runs, the scenes from before flood into her mind. The gunshot. Ray toppling over onto her body, his final gasping breaths echoing in her ears above her.

"I was...dying...just as I'd wished for..." She thinks.

The future's open wide, beyond believing.

To know why hope dies.

Jake standing above her, eyes wide with horror. The result of what he'd done laying before him. Alice had stole his innocence in that moment. She regretted it. "He didn't deserve that...to see that...Jake..."

Losing what was found, a world so hollow

Spend it in a compromise

"He should have left me alone." She thinks bitterly. "This is what I wanted all along..." She says, trying to convince herself of something she now finds herself questioning. "R-right?"

The silence of that sound is soon to follow

Somehow...sundown...

"No! I can't truly be dead!" She runs again, down a path, she imagines, but the soles of her feet don't sense concrete...but softness...almost a cottony substance...hardly anything. "That bastard Ray! I don't want this anymore!"

This days ending

Is the proof of time

Killing all the faith I know

"I want another chance!"

Passing the graves of the unknown...

She drops to her knees, heaving with sobs. She had'nt even known she still had the strength to cry anymore. "But am I really her...Alice...anymore?" She wonders tearfully. The shadows continue to pass her.

And I've lost who I am

And I can't understand

Why my heart is so broken

Rejecting your love...

"What am I supposed to do now?" She cries to them helplessly, reaching out to one. Her hand passes through his iridescent and she freezes.

"B-but...why can't they hear me?"

Gone without love gone wrong

Lifeless words carry on..

"WHY CAN'T THEY HEAR ME DAMMIT! WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ALONE?"

But then she hears a voice besides her own somewhere behind her.

"Kyla."

She turns around, and sees the person who called her name.

"Kyla it's okay. You aren't alone anymore."

But I know, oh I know, that the end's beginning

Alice, forever stripped of that title at last, flings herself into the arms of the First Alice, who holds her gently, stroking her hair.

"You were so brave."

Theres a light, theres a sun.

Kyla pulls away to look into her eyes, which are brimming with kindness and admiration. Kyla knows then...she is freed. Forever liberated from the hot hands of Ray, From pain, from suffering...and the first alice was waiting for her, all this time.

She was home.

Taking all shattered ones

To the place we belong...

"C'mon Kyla, let's go."

Kyla says nothing, but nods. She finally understands now. She is free...

She is...reborn.

And His love will conquer all.

And hand in hand, they run into the light, freed from pain, from Ray. Forevermore to be innocent and happy in a place where suffering can never reach them.

They run farther and farther, until the light engulfs them, and they are...gone.

Yesterday I died, tommorow's bleeding

Fall into your sunlight
