A/N: sadly I don't own Pandora hearts or any of its characters that goes for my most precious Jack too. this awesome anime/manga is owned by Jun Mochizuki . I do own the plot of this fic and the oc's. The story takes place 50 years after the anime, all the events of the anime happened, some characters will appear though, Like Jack, the Baskervilles and I am thinking of adding Sharon and Break in to because I love them together but I really don't know yet. Alice and Alyss (will of abyss) will defiantly appear.
And just for the record italics are the thoughts of our dear cast.
Prologue:
"Where am I, who am I, no… what am I?" A soft voice wondered, but no one could answer her, it was all in her thoughts. Even if she had said it out loud there would be no one to answer, because there was no one there.
Nothing except the dark and the cold. "Its dark, it's cold but is feels fine, it feels safe" She knew she was floating; she also felt the chains around her. Everywhere of her body was covered with it.
Her legs, her arms all where chained to something but what? Why was she chained? Why couldn't she remember? She kept on floating in the dark. She felt like she was here forever, maybe she was and maybe she wasn't. She was sinking; she was sure of that, she couldn't see anything, she couldn't talk, she couldn't move, but she could sink, slowly o so slowly deeper and deeper in to the dark, she could feel it wrap around her enter her, take her over.
Why did it feel so familiar? Why didn't she mind? Why wasn't she scared? Suddenly an idea hit her because…. because it was her. This dark, this cold, this void was her. Yes this was who she was, this… was…. what… she… was.
"Wake up my precious princess" a soft and warm voice asked.
She felt a stab of pain. This pain….. was this pain hers. It was her right? She didn't know anymore. What was her pain? What was the pain of this place?
"Please…. Wake up…. Remember"
"Remember who? Remember what? What was there to remember?" she kept on floating… sinking.
"Don't let them win"
"Who? Don't let who win?"
"You are the strongest person I met, please don't give up"
"That voice" She felt the chains pull harder as if they where preventing her from remembering. That only made her wonder. Was that voice right? Was she precious to someone? Why did that feel wrong? She gave up, why fight? She gave in to the darkness, yes this is my world. This is where I belong.
"No….no… please remember…. Try to remember that you don't belong here….not anymore…. You belong someplace else someplace better"
"Not Belong? Where… where do I belong then? I am this…and this is me… this world is us… we belong here in the dark, cold, the pain this endless cycle of hate and nothing less"
"Is that what you want? Is that really who you are? This? This emptiness" the soft voice asked, "This is what you are? Void?"
"Yes… And I except it. I am who I am and nothing is going to change that so why not except?"
"You're such a big girl now, I am proud of you..." That simple sentence hit her like a brick,
"That voice was… whose voice was that?" The chains around her instantly tightened.
"I am glad you finally excepted who you are but you are more…more than void.. more than that, because most of all you are my sweet and precious princess that is who you are. No matter where you are, sweet dreams my dear… ill miss you" The voice broke.
"Water?' She felt water come out of her eyes. Why was there water coming out of her eyes. "This was… no this where her tears" She pulled her chains.
She could hear the cries. She could feel the pain, this was her pain but also the pain of others. This world was known as the deepness. Yes, now she remembered. This was Abyss, her world.
" I am in abyss" She moved and the chains loosened. " I am part of this world, my name is… Shinn" she could move her arms, the chains around her protested. "What am I? A chain, a being of this world" but still something was off.
"You remembered? I am glad"
"F….father?"
She heard a smile in his voice, "My little princess I knew you could do it"
"Father?" Yes, that was the voice of father, now she remembered, " Father? What happened?"
A scream filled with agony spread reached her ears.
"I ..you are father?" she asked ignoring all the pleading and protesting voices.
"Stay here with us, this is where you belong" the darkness whispered, pleaded, screamed for her to stay.
"You remembered…."Her father's voice saddened, it also sounded weaker. "Listen to me whatever they say… whatever they write about me… know that everything I did was for you and only you"
"What?"
"I love you, nothing is going to change that" His voice was a soft whisper, "Farewell Reina"
"Farewell?"
"Yes" his voice was so far away, "Goodbye"
"Father... father…. Father!" her eyes shot open. She could see the dark, she was right she was in Abyss, but how? She lifted her hand up and saw the chains, her eyes flashed, "Unhand me"
Instantly, the chains released her. She smirked, now she remembered who she was, but what happened? What had caused her to come here? And why did she feel so weak? She was a chain that was for sure, but not any ordinary chain, why was she so sure that she wasn't like any other chain? And how come that she knew that she lost something even though she didn't know what it was?
But this weakness was not something she knew, she felt her powers yes but she wasn't complete , she closed her eyes calling her powers up trying to shift her shape. That's when she realized she couldn't do it.
"What? Why am I not changing?"
Her powers! Where were they? What happened to her power? She felt drained, empty she was missing some of her power. No a lot of her power was missing. Who took it? Who stole what was hers? She didn't remember. All that was left was the emptiness, maybe if she remembered what happened before her memory went blank, she could recall it.
She closed her eyes thinking. Fire. Screaming. A name. Lunar.
Suddenly Shinn was hit by a wave of memories. The festival. She was there with father what had happened after that? What happened in Lunar? She didn't know, what? What had happened after the festival, what happened to father?
Her head was hurting. Every time she tried to remember she was hit by a wave of nauseous and a terrific headache.
"Seal"
She heard the soft whisper in her head, a seal? Her memories where sealed!But by who? Who could possible be so strong… no who could have benefit of it? Father, he could do it, but why? To protect her? But that didn't seem like something he would do, who else? There was only one other person left one who wouldn't do it for her safety or welfare one that would do it for power, he did this to her. She needn't to get out of here, but how? She didn't think she could open a portal.
"Contractor"
The word was a soft whisper in the back of her mind.
"Yes I need a human contract" She hissed, "Unbelievable that I have to rely on that", slowly a smirk started to develop.
"But it could have its benefits, a human knows his history and it would make it easy to find out what happened, and to get my powers back.
She had decided, she would do it. But where to find a human who is so strong, so powerful that he wont die holding her? Her smirk widened, She knew where to find him. The only place. The very core of her world, home, the core of Abyss.
Now all she had to do was wait, till her tool would arrive….wait as long as it would take….just wait….wait….
Slowly Shinn drifted back in her slumber, falling back in the darkness.
"Dark" a soft whisper was heard in the infinite dark, "Alice… I am sorry Alice I couldn't safe you" the young man closed his eyes, "Alice….Alice…Alice…"
Shinn opened her eyes she didn't like to be disturb especially by someone repeating a name over and over again like a mantra, what was his problem? He was weak, that was the problem he was facing she chuckled softly, Shinn closed her eyes, falling back in to her light slumber.
"Alice..Alice…Alice"
Shinn tried her best to ignore it and tried to fall back in the slumber she was floating.
"Alice…Alice…Alice…"
Shinn eyes shot open again her red eyes flashing , that is it one more time Alice and ill kill him.
"Alice, I failed you and… I failed Oz"
How ironic now he changes his sentence. Everything in her told her to kill him, how dare he to awaken her?
But that was not what kept Shinn wondering, no she was surprised, surprised she had noticed him in the first place, many appeared here before him, but she never woken up, Why did she open her eyes? Why did she feel him? She didn't feel anything special no she only felt what she always felt in this place, hurt, pain and despair.
But she felt it, a power buried deep under the pain and hurt, a power she was searching for. Was he the one? The one she needed? No that couldn't be…not him?
She closed her eyes letting her mind enter abyss, lets see who you are… are you the one?
My contactor? She chuckled darkly when she felt the power, this man wasn't like any other no he was special, he had a connection to this world.
Well it seems I found a contractor for time being that is.
The young man was falling deeper and deeper in to the darkness but he didn't care anymore, he already lost what was so important to him. So why fight? She was taken in the abyss he couldn't change time… he couldn't bring her back, he would have done anything , anything to safe her. Anything to bring her and Oz back.
"Anything?" A dark voice asked, "You would do anything to change the past?"
"Who?...who is there?"
He heard a dark laugh, "That is not important, I asked you a question would you do anything to change the past?"
Would he? Would he really do anything? He didn't know but Alice…Alice yes he would do it for Alice.
"Tell me human would you?"
"I…yes I would do anything to make her happy…anything to bring her back"
"I take that with anything you also mean anything?" She didn't even know why she asked him that. Why did she care? Power or no power he would die, they all died eventually.
"Yes I would do anything for Alice"
"Noble" was her sarcastic reply. "Well than human shall we make it official?"
"Official?"
She chuckled, "Seems like you already lost your common sense, but yes the only way to get out of abyss is with a contract"
"I remember that"
"Did I say you forgot it than?" Was her innocent reply, "Now than human sign a contract with me"
"I…I…"
"Please… don't tell me your chickening out?"
He didn't like this, this chain was different she felt empty. Void of anything unlike any chain he had encountered.
But if he could get Alice back? if he could stop his best friend? Than why not?
He needed power… a lot of power and she seemed to have that.
"I have better things to do… now make your decision do you want to use my power to bend others to your will? To change the past?"
"I need to change the past"
"Well than I can do that for you but…."
"But what?" why was she doing this? What did she want?
"You have to do something for me" was her simple reply.
"Like what?"
He heard her dark laugh again, "Haven't you heard… what do you humans say? curiosity killed the cat?"
"What do you want"
"Well what do you know the kid has backbone… nothing as big as your wish to change the past"
He opened his eyes but he couldn't see anything, "What do you want?" he repeated the question
Strong he woken up, "You have to grant me three wishes"
"What are they?"
"Don't worry ill tell you in time" she chuckled, "the first one right after you contract me so what do say? Three wishes in return I change the past and you can use my powers"
"I will contract you"
She chuckled, "That doesn't sound right… I want you to ask it as if you really want it"
"What do you mean?"
"Say the magic words"
"Magic words?"
"Yes magic words like please?" She sighed, "Never mind the contract will only be valid if you say my name and yours"
"Your name?"
"Yes my name?" Shinn replied simply, "How else do you want to do it?"
"And what is your name?"
Shinn chuckled slightly amused that he had enough strength to be annoyed, "Fine, because you insist ill help. Just say it like this; I insert name take you Shinn of Abyss as my chain"
The young man sighed was he doing the right thing?
"Really, you are in no position to sigh like that" Was Shinn simple reply
She was annoying that was for sure that part of her seemed human, but … he had to do it for Alice, "I jack Bezarius take you shinn of abyss as my contract"
At first he didn't hear a thing but than he heard it.
Her laughter staring out emotionless and cold slowly turning insane and dark.
"Finally I can get out of this place"
Jack felt a dark aura surround him, slowly entering him.
"Well human lets make this official shall we"
Jack could hear the voice but he couldn't see a face, he contracted a chain he didn't even see!
He felt hand touch his cheek. Warm. Flesh. Soft. Human. Why was the hand so warm?
He saw red eyes flash in the dark.
"And I shinn will take you Jack bezarius as my contractor" she luaghed softly, "Just like being married"
" Now my first wish" He could feel her warm breath brush against his face she was close, close enough for him to feel her warmth.
" Find me" A soft chuckle her hand gently stroking his cheek.
"Find me the relics"
He could feel something warm drip on his face. Blood. Her blood.
" By finding out what happened in lunar" Her lips gently brushed his cheek.
That was the last thing Jack heard before he was blinded by a very bright light.
