Info: This is me first Fanfic, so please be nice. Also, I'm sorry if there's some mistake ( If you see some, you can always tell me, I'm gonna correct them ). English isn't my natal language. I hope you enjoy!

I don't own Pandora Heart nor Crimson Shell. Either way, I wouldn't be writing a fanfic based on an anime/ manga I didn't make. That make quite sense.

''Because the ending is the beginning… Will it… Begin again…?" Lace mumbled half-asleep as the three of them walked out of Claudia's room.

Ruskin and William were staring at him in surprise. It was amazing how sometime he could easily pop out of his ever lasting silence. Without a word, they turned around and watched Claudia one last time before William slowly closed the door. It has been three days since the incident, but she still hasn't wake up. In less than one day, she lost her most precious person. Just after knowing that, he, Xeno had never really betrayed her. He only has been under the poison of the black rose.

Ever since that day, Claudia hasn't wake nor did she fully recovered from her injure.

"Yes…" mumbled William, Claudia's thorn, as he finally closed the door. " But for now, just let her slumber."

Once, Ruskin and Lace left, he stayed alone in from of Claudia's room for a while.

"Until… The rose bloom again…" he finished his sentence in his head, so no one could guess his plan.

Deep down in the abyss, Alice was peacefully floating over the water. Her arms around her legs in the same way she had been for an unknown time. The Black Rabbit let her head fall on her knees, hiding the lonely expression on her face. She didn't remember how long she had been held in the world were no one could return. A place where the sinners were send. The abyss. In that position, her hairs were dancing behind her just as if there was wind, which wasn't the case.

Suddenly, the normal silence of the abyss was slowly replaced by a far away melody. At first, it seemed to be only small noise and Alice though it was the other chains that were making these sounds. But as the melody got louder, she knew no chain that could have make such a beautiful music. Not such soft echo of a music box. It seem like she was the only one who could hear it. As if it was calling for her. It was a nostalgic sound that she couldn't remember. Thought, Alice was sure she knew that song before. However, she didn't remember anything about her past expect this life she lived as a chain.

"This sound seems familiar… Is it…Calling for me?" the Black Rabbit said to herself.

She lifted her head up and saw a path who could lead her outside of the abyss. Getting up, she follows that way and appeared in a magnificent house where four death gods were surrounding a young man. The young man was a blond one wearing ceremony clothes. The closer Alice got to him, the more she feels he had something to do with the melody that was calling her. The Black Rabbit decided to make the young man, who was no one else than Oz Bezarius, her owns. Though, the four death gods seem like they wanted to kill him, which was against Alice desires. Then, she had no other choose but to stop them.

"Hey, death gods. If you say you're going to kill him, then…I'll fight you with all my might!" the Bea Rabbit interfered.

Without even a hesitation, Alice turned her back on Oz who was still seating on the floor, and jumped on three of the death gods. Using as much strength as she could to crash each of them. However, when she looked at the young man again, he had slashed his friend and had fall back on the ground.

One of the death gods, used that moment of inattention to make the Black Rabbit disappear back to the abyss. A few hours later, Alice finds the young man once more and together they made a contract to get out of the abyss. Though, once they got back, ten years had already passed.

It had been months since Oz had return, and now, the Baskerviles and the organisation Pandora were searching for the Will of abyss. However to do that, they need to find the doors who lead to it.

"Ne, Gil… Couldn't we pass by the main entrance instead?" Oz complains as he tried to move forward in the thin path behind his servant.

The secret pass way was one tiny road where only man as small as the young Bezarius could comfortably walk through. The wall had been eating by humidity and there were insects everywhere.

"I agree with Oz, this place is creepy." Add Alice after having taken a look in the deep darkness behind her.

The three of them only had one candle to light up their way. They used to have two, but the first one went out and Gil was unable to light it up again. By coincidence, that day he didn't have his matches nor his cigarettes.

"The main hall is… too dangerous. There's too many… person who c-" Raven tried to respond as he made himself a path through the road who was too small for a twenty years old person.

"Pff, as if some filthy human could scare me, the Bea Rabbit! With one blow I ca-" Alice interrupt him.

"The problem is that… we… must not be fin-… Damn."

At the same time, Alice and Oz stare at Gilbert, wondering what the problem was.

"I'm kind of… stuck…" replied Raven as he angrily tried to move while his master was laughing out loud. "Don't laugh!"

Once Oz calmed down a little, he slowly moved backward and saw they were near the end of the secret pass way. With a little bit of effort, maybe Alice and him could push Gilbert through the entrance. There, the ceiling seemed higher.

"Ne, Alice. Could you help me a little? If we push Gil in the entrance, we should be able to get out of here." The young Bezarius confided to the Black Rabbit in a low voice so his friend wouldn't hear him.

The chain toke sometime to examine the good thing that this offer would give her but, except from pissing off Gilbert and getting out of this disgusting path, there wasn't much more. With a sigh, she helped Oz to push Raven who was starting to complain.

"No, no… What are you two doing! Oz, don't do tha-" cried the black haired man before feeling the ground fall under his feet.

It didn't take long to make Gil break the entrance, the frame of the door was made of wood who with the time had mouldy. Luckily, the door was already wide open. So, the three of them only roll downstairs and all fell on Raven.

"Alice, are you alright?" whispered Oz as he tried to make his head stop rolling.

The chain ripped of the dust on her clothes before crossing her arms on her chest and make her typical "Huh". With only that, the blond knew she was alright. However, his servant situation was a bit different. Not to say that his seemed a bit unconscious. Actually, Raven was lying on the ground, rubbing the hump that just had grown on his forehead. Looking how painful his servant expression was showing, Oz though for a second that maybe it had been a bad idea. But nah, it was a good one at the end. Well, he did enjoy it at least.

Angry as everybody would have been, Gilbert got up on his feet and tried his best not to scream at them. Which failed.

"What were you thinking! It could have been dangerous; what if there was some of those Baskervile out here! We wouldn't-" he stopped himself because he just noticed that once again, his master wasn't even listening to him. "Hey, listen t-"

"Not now, Gil… I think we just found the door!"

Still a bit annoy that his master didn't pay attention to him, Raven turned around and saw that Oz was right. The door was there. However, there was a path that was hiding most of it. The path seems like those when a chain try to come in this world. Though, by moving closer to it, Gilbert didn't sense a chain nor anything who may look alike.

Oz, as careless as he often is, got way to close to the portal to his servant's taste. Knowing that even if he told his master to stay away from it, he wouldn't listen to him; Gilbert decide to make him back up. But, something unexpected happen. He trips on something which drags Alice, Oz and him into the path.

William was seating in Claudia's room in front of a big piano. Having nothing better to do and meanwhile of waiting for some people to show up, he decide to play his master's favourite song. He knew that in her state, she most likely couldn't hear him play, but he still felt the need to. It was a soft melody that always made him calm down. Claudia loved that song and so he did. Though, he forgot the name of it.

As William was about to play a second time, three person appeared in the room. Two men and one girl, just as he predicted. The little party was staring awkwardly at the bed right next to them. For them, there was now two Alice.

"Welcome to Crimson Bullet Association. Alice, Oz Bezarius and Gilbert Nightray." William said with one of his dark smile.

Everything would go as he had plan, definitely.
