Chapter 1: Tears of sorrow and betrayal.
(Alice's pov.)
I was walking up the stairs of the Vessalius house. I dreaded arriving to the top. Dreaded what I was going to have to say. This whole day was just a big mess. On top of that I still have to tell that creepy Nightray boy. I could feel myself shiver at that thought. He actually kinda scared me at times. But mostly he made me mad. I finally reached the door. I knocked on the door. When it opened I seen Ada standing there, smiling. It broke my heart that I had to tell her. I wiped away some stray tears. "Is Oscar here?" I asked, trying to smile.
"Yeah he is I'll get him." She said, walking off to get him. She came back with him.
"Alice, come in" Oscar said. I stepped into the house. "What brings you here?" he asked.
"I need to talk to you both..." I said, feeling like I might cry again. I held them back. "It's about Oz." I said.
"What did he do now!?" Oscar asked. From his tone it sounded like Oz got himself into trouble a lot.
"He stopped Jack and in the processes it killed him." I said, letting some tears fall. I seen Ada start crying. Oscar hugged her.
"Wheres Gilbert?" Oscar asked, his voice shaking.
"He died trying to protect Oz." I said. Ada cried even hared when she heard this.
"Why are you telling us this Alice? Why isn't Xerxes?" Oscar asked, trying to confer Ada.
"He is in bad condition. We don't think he is going to make it." I said.
"This must be so hard for you, Alice." Oscar said.
"I just have to get use to waking up alone with no cigarette smoke and happy little manservant." I said, wiping my tears away. "Anyways I have to go to the Nightray home and tell Vincent about Gilbert's death." I said.
"Okay, thank you for telling us and I'm so sorry for your lost." Oscar said.
"I'm sorry for your lost too." I said, walking off. I headed to the Nightray place. When I got there I got out only to to find Vincent waiting.
"I would have thought if Pandora had news it would have sent hatter to tell me." Vincent said, leaning up against a tree.
"Yeah that stupid clown is on the verge of dying so I have to deliver messages." I said, walking over to him. I seen him smile.
"Break is dying huh?" he said. I nodded my head. His smile grew.
"This day is the best day of my life, I've been waiting for him to drop dead." Vincent said, laughing.
"Oh well then let me make it better and say Oz is dead too." I said, glaring at him.
"That's even better now he will stay away from my Gilbert." Vincent said.
"I guess so." I said.
"If that's all you wanted you can leave miss Alice." Vincent said.
"Fine you and your Baskerville's have a nice day, oh and sorry for your lost." I said, walking off.
"Wait who did I lose?" Vincent asked.
"You didn't notice?" I said. Vincent looked around. His eyes looked into mine.
"Tell me it isn't true.." he said.
"You figured it out." I said. He ran over and grabbed me.
"Where is my brother!?" Vincent asked, looking like he was going to cry.
"He is dead!" I said, pulling away. "He died protecting Oz from Zwei or Echo or whatever you call her!" I said. His face grew pale. He dropped to his knees.
"No way...big brother is...gone." he said.
"Yeah he is.." I said. I started to walk off again.
"Wait Alice! Please don't leave me alone." Vincent said, hugging me. I hugged back. I could relate to how Vincent felt.
'Dammit Oz, Gilbert why did you have to leave me all alone? Why did you have to die then make me tell everyone? Why?' I started crying.
Thanks for reading!
I hope you guys liked it. I know it was kinda sad when Alice had to go and tell everyone that Oz and Gilbert are dead. But at least Vincent's showing his softer side. Also I throw in a moment of him and Alice cause me sister like that paring and I think its kinda a crack paring but oh well xD
in the next chapter its two years after all this.
