Blood In The Darkness

Deep in the Abyss, many unusual things would happen.

Let's not forget the random floating furniture,

The Intention of the Abyss sulking,

And the dolls coming to life...

Coming to chase after you.

But in a certain part of the Abyss, nothing seemed to happen.

It seemed dead...

Except for a lost and lonely soul.

With no company.

Just her, in the dark...

And blood on the floor.

With her black hair, now grayish as if the Abyss took away her life force too.

Her red eyes, now halfway closed as if the Abyss sapped out her energy.

And her smile...was still the same.

This woman was known as Lacie.

That was her name.

She once lived in the world above, but now here in the dark.

Everyday in the dark, she would walk on blood.

Blood.

It was a vivid scarlet red, just like her eyes.

The colour that gave her the title Child of Misfortune...

And the reason why she was a sacrifice to the Abyss.

She had no idea how the blood got there, but she would dance happily on it,

Just like she would do in the world above.

She felt as light as a feather, for she is no longer flesh and blood, but a soul wandering in the Abyss.

But she's lonely.

Day and night, she would think about the two Alices,

Her brother,

And Jack.

She would imagine them in her head.

Glen composing the song.

Jack telling her stories.

And Alice and Alice...

Her daughters.

Just then, she saw an image of Jack.

"Jack? Is that really you?"

He gave her his goofy smile.

"Yes, Lacie. It is I. You are no longer going to be lonely. For I am going to break the chains, and bring the world to you."

Lacie giggled. "That's sweet."

And with that, Jack would disappear.

Lacie would sigh.

She would look up...

Waiting for Jack to grant her his promise.

But in the meantime...

All she could do was walk and dance on the puddle of blood.
