Prologue

'Never... These creatures will continue to chase me... I-I'll never escape! Heh... I deserve it, though...after what I did... I don't know why the intention even tries to take care of me...' Oz Vessalius thought sitting in the darkness he had stumbled upon and hid there from the monsters of the Abyss who knows how long ago. 'That last monster was fast... I barely escaped with all my limbs.' He thought thinking about the monster that had attacked him. 'I'm getting better at it though, escaping alive without B-Rabbit to help me. How many times has it happened now? I don't know like two.' He thought lowering his head into his folded arms. "Without B-Rabbit... I would already be dead. I wouldn't have anyone to stay by my side and I wouldn't be able to stay by there's." He whispers in an almost silent voice.

"I will be by your side, Bocchan...forever and ever." A boy's voice says in a polite yet sincere voice as Oz lifted his head to see a black haired boy about the age of fourteen or fifteen. His golden eyes were brimming with tears and he had a charming smile on his face. "Bocchan, what are you doing lying there? Are you hurt?" The boy says smiling happily as Oz looks at him with a shocked look on his face. "I've come to take you home. B-Rabbit told me where to find you; everyone is worried about you, Bocchan. Let's go home." He says holding out his hand but he quickly pulled it away.

'No... It-This... This one is probably that faceless doll that stole Gil's image. It's found me again.' Oz thought curling up in a ball to keep it away from his face.
"Bocchan? Did something bad happen? Don't you want to go home?" The boy says tilting his head as he knelt in front of Oz. Oz peeked between his arms to looking at the person in front of him. He felt his heart start to thump against his chest as he met the eyes of the boy. As if hypnotizing him, Oz looked up at the creature that no longer resembled the black haired boy but a tall disproportioned doll that had no face and long legs and claws. "Are you ready to go now, Bocchan?" The creature says in the boy's voice, Oz smiled as he reached out his hand to take the boy's hand wanting to take it and never let go.

"G-Gil..."

The minute the name escaped the boy's lips the creature let out a horrid scream causing Oz to pull his hand away to cover his ears. He looked up and he saw the boy lying on the ground with a slash across his chest bleeding. Oz's eyes widened in shock as the illusion disappeared and the creature's true form was exposed to him. He took a shaking breath before letting out a scream as his mouth was covered and he was leaned back wards and stared up at a black rabbit shaped figure. It laid him down before the shadows seemed to turn to light causing Oz to close his eyes. He refuses to open his eyes but he knew who this person was and was ashamed to fall for the creatures tricks.

"I'm sorry Alice… I let that Chain fool me." He whispers as he continued to lay in the darkness listening to a song playing. He opened his eyes to see a woman floating over him holding his pocket watch with an entertained look on his face.

"Ah... How Nostalgic..." She whispers calmly as she traces a finger around the watches frame. She then looked at Oz and smiled a smug smile. "You almost died again, Oz but you won't have to worry anymore. I'm finally able to pull you out of this place... So wake up." She says standing up and disappearing leaving Oz lying there listening to the song plays over and over again unable to move for some strange reason. Despite being pinned it calmed him to hear the song and he closed his eyes drifting back to his black haired friend, wondering if he was alright and if they'd ever get to see each other again.

'Nostalgic, yeah... It's just like him.' He thought listening to the song with a soft smile on his face as he opened his eyes to see a white ceiling and a woman checking his blood pressure. He was shocked but when he opened his mouth no words came out. 'W-Where am I?' He thought as he listened to the song that kept playing as the nurse left the room. His eyes glanced over the room and in the corner he saw a young woman about his age holding his golden pocket watch and it was playing the melody, she had a slightly sorrowful look before she looked up and saw Oz, a smirk graced her lips when she saw he was awake.

"You're awake, manservant." She says grinning with a superior look upon her face and Oz sat up remembering her voice as B-Rabbits. He stared at her for the longest time surprised to see her before she glared at him with an aggravated look. "How dare you stare at me like a fish out of water! After all I've done for you... Show some respect!" The girl says in a scolding way as Oz heard a soft giggle.

"My lady, it seems he is finally awake." A man's voice says behind a curtain causing Oz to flinch slightly as a white haired male appears beside him with a blond haired lady.

"Yes it seems he has... It's nice to see you are finally awake. Do you remember who I am?" The woman says with a charming smile and Oz gapes at her.

"S-SH-SHARON-CHAN!" Oz sputters as he regained his voice and she giggles at his dazed stare.

"Yes, hello..." The woman, Sharon says smiling happily as Oz smiles back at her, slowly sitting up wincing slightly as he moved his arm with an IV in it. "Are you glad to be back in this world Oz-kun?" She asks and Oz looks at her confusedly.

"I went somewhere?" He says trying to be funny but when they looked at him curiously he frowned. "Yeah it is..." He says fiddling with his fingers slightly. The first emotion that he felt was confusion then there was panic and a painful sorrow as he turned to Sharon and the white haired man. "Where are my Uncle and Sister? What happened to those Shinigami? Ah! Wait! What happened to Gil? Is-Is he..." Oz says stopping not wanting to finish his sentence as his eyes widened in a terrified way. Sharon was about to answer him but at that particular moment the door burst open and in ran a panicking man about the age of twenty-four. He wore a black jacket with silver lining and an ordinary white button up shirt on under the jacket. His hair was a messy black and his eyes, cat like, were the prettiest gold Oz had ever seen. He was panting and seemed as if he had run a mile in under 40 seconds. He looked right at the brown haired girl accusingly before speaking.

"Okay! I heard screaming what did that stupid-rabbit do NOW!" The man spoke with annoyance in his deep voice as the white haired man pranced over to him and the brown haired woman growled in anger.

"Ah Raven, it's good to see you got my message." The white haired man spoke joyfully as he patted the man's back as the brown haired woman glared at him.

"I didn't do nuthin'! How dare you accuse me, you damn Seaweed-head!" the girl shouts throwing the pocket watch at the man. The black haired man, known as Raven caught the watch before it hit him in the face and looked at it before gasping slightly. Oz saw that Raven seemed to recognize the watch before looking at him with wide surprised eyes.

"Oz… you're awake." He says in a shocked voice as he stares at the woman shocked causing the girl to beam with pleasure and self-satisfaction.

"Ah, You see… told you I didn't kill him." The woman says prancing over to Oz, wrapping her arm around his neck. Raven seemed to tense up at her word before turning his head away from them looking angry.

'He looks familiar, have we met before?' Oz thought looking at the brown haired woman confusedly as a name seemed to pop in his head. "Um... Alice?" He says in a questioning as the woman looks down curiously. Oz blushed slightly shocked that he guessed her name.

"That's surprising... You remembered my name; maybe you were more alive than I thought." The brown haired woman, Alice says calmly as Oz looks at her confusedly before looking down at his hands, as a strange memory flashed across his mind causing him to tense up slightly. He shaking slightly at the memory he went to speak but a piece of candy was placed in his mouth and he looked at the white haired man curiously.

"We have not met before have we? I am Xerxes Break, servant to the Rainsworth family." He says with a cheerful smile and Oz nods not sure what else to do. The white haired man then points at Raven before introducing him. "And this is Raven Nightray. We've all been researching Abyss together." Break says cheerfully and Oz nods again before pouting.

"No one has answered my questions. Where's everyone? Are they all okay?" Oz says scowling wanting answers but not getting them fast enough, Sharon nods calmly understanding why he'd be a bit testy.

"Yes, everyone that was at the ceremony has no memory of what happened, other than you had disappeared and was nowhere to be found. We are the small few that knew that you fell into Abyss and have been working to find a way to save you." Sharon explains as she looks at Oz with a polite smile. Oz looks at her with a relieved smile on his face before he frowned.

"Everyone is okay… my uncle, and my sister?" Oz says in a serious voice as Raven looks at him with cool emotionless eyes.

"Everyone is fine, Oz." He says coolly as he approached Oz slowly handing him the pocket watch. "Do not worry about them." He adds before putting his hands into his pockets.

"What about Gil? He was hurt badly! Is he alright too?" Oz says in a soft almost pained voice and Raven nods before looking away.

"So tell me, why are you two here?" Raven says stiffly he stared at the wall that seemed to be quite interesting to him at the moment and Break grins slightly, motioning over to Alice.

"Is it not allowed? We came because Lex Remius said Oz was waking up." Break says cheerfully causing Raven to glare at him annoyed at the mention of the man, Lex.

"How do you guys know Lex?" Oz says curiously as he stares at them confusedly as Sharon holds her finger up as if she had the answer.

"He's a member for the Pandora Organization; he's also a very wealthy doll maker." Sharon says casually as if he asked who he was.

"He's also my guardian for now..." Alice says crossing her arms with a serious look on her face and Oz nods slightly letting his bangs cover his eyes looking at his hands that bore not scars or wounds. He then looked down at his body and noticed he was wearing a hospital gown and there were no wounds on his arms from the time he spent in the Abyss. The only wound was the stab wound from when he was pulled into Abyss.

'All the scars that where on my body disappeared, does that mean... it was all a dream?' Oz thought touching his chest where bandages were. He then felt a strange pulse of energy run through him. 'No it was not… Then all of it… all of it was real!" Oz thought with a slight frown as he closed his eyes and remembered the illusion doll that made it look like Gil. "Alice... Is that imitator destroyed this time?" Oz says softly as he looks at his friend with a worried look and Alice looks at him for a moment before sighing.

"Don't know... If it did survive it probably still in Abyss so you won't have to worry about that thing anymore." Alice says crossing her arms as she glared at Oz to make him stop worrying. Oz smiled at her and nods as he looked at the others that seemed to be arguing amongst themselves. "Don't worry about them. They've been bickering since I told them I got you out. They didn't believe me when I said I knew where you were. It was insulting!" Alice says flicking her hair back as she scowled staring up at the ceiling.

"Ah, I see. I haven't thanked you yet for everything you did for me in there. So seriously, thank you, Alice...The great and all powerful B-Rabbit." Oz says smiling at her and she hits him on the head.

"You don't have to sound like your groveling! Geez, I would have been fine with 'Thank you, Alice-san.' You seriously have problems sometimes." Alice says smirking and Oz smiles at her.

"Hmm... Sorry." He says laughing softly. 'It's like it was a bad dream but it wasn't at all but now I get to become better friends with Alice and I'll be able to make amends with Gil.' He thought looking up at the small group. 'But I learned some things that made me rethink how I saw Gil… no it made me see how I had always saw Gil.' Oz thought smiling softly as he lay back down onto the bed. 'I want to see him. To see he's alive and breathing. But... He probably... hates me.' Oz thought rolling on his side and hid his face in the pillow.
