Chapter 2 (Your torture begins)
"ALICE! RUN!" you're big sister said lunging forward with a knife.
"BIG SISTER!" you're little sister shouted while crying and running towards you.
"AIKO!" you shouted at the top of your lungs, running forward, to save your little sister.
"will be here waiting for….you….." you're mother said while you're vision of your mother and sister's, fade into nothingness.
"...Dream…." You abruptly open your eyes you're vision blurred and spinning.
"Whoa! You're already awake!" A girls voice said, you turn your head to where the voice is, you're vision still blurred and spinning you try to focus your vision to the girl beside you, but because you're vision is spinning it became futile, you close your eyes again and spoke to her.
"Where….am I….?" you said eyes closed.
"Don't worry you're safe, but I'm actually surprised that you managed to wake up a day after you were injected with that drug." She said, you open your eyes again you're vision clearing, you turn your head to the girl again and saw her smiling at you.
"Usually a person injected with that drug is knocked out two to three weeks, or if you're really weak a month, but you manage to wake up a day after you were injected…" she said with her hand on her chin, she looked at you seriously, seemingly thinking as well. You're vision is now clear and you saw that you were in a spacious room that only had one bed a table and a chair that the girl is currently sitting on.
"You're that girl…." You said, you examine her features, she has short pink hair and red eyes, like the young man before.
"Oh! Where are my manners? I'm Sachiko" she offers her hand to you, you stared at her for a few seconds before you willingly accept it. "What's your name?" she said, you're hands parting one another.
"My names…Alice…." you sit-up at the bed you were lying, you also noticed that you were still covered with blood. You blankly stare at your hands and remembered you killed someone, you also remembered that you're family is gone now and you're all on your own.
"Well now, let's get you cleaned up before I present you to our queen." She said standing up from her chair. you got off of bed and stood up, you walk besides her, and she walks away to the door with you following.
"So Alice…what happened to you….?" She said looking at you from the side of her eye, you look around the hall you two are walking from, and turned you're head to her again.
"My family…died and I was captured by those thugs." You said staring at her back blankly.
"I see…" she turns around a corner, with you still following. She stops at a door and faces you. "Well were here, clean yourself up while I go get you some clean clothes." She say's patting you at your shoulder, you nod at her and she turns her heels leaving you, you open the door in front of you finding a huge shower room. You look around finding no one there, you enter one of the showers and took off your clothes, you turn the faucet on and water comes out washing the blood from your body. You look down and stare blankly at the water and blood flowing down the drain, you also stare at your body, you were full of scratch and bruises, you continue to scrub you're self and make you're self clean, memories of your family being killed flashes from your mind over and over again. You close the faucet satisfied that you were clean and stepped out of the shower, you glance on a mirror and stare at it.
"I look terrible….." you said coming closer to the mirror. You touch the surface of the mirror you're expression darkening, you bit you're bottom lip and examined you're self, you're face was pale, you're lips was pale and you're eyes was….lifeless…it's as if you were already dead…you look down finding interest at the water dripping from the faucet. You're attention was drawn from you when Sachiko approached and puts a towel on your back. She pats you're back and smiles at you.
"I didn't notice before when you were covered with blood, but you're really beautiful Alice." she stares at you're reflection, but you didn't respond to her you just looked blankly at you're reflection, you then wrapped the towel to your body and faced her. "Well now, looks like you're squeaky clean, here's your clothes." She hands you black clothes and you accept it. "Get dress I'll be waiting for you outside." She walks away leaving you to dress. After you got fully dressed you step outside to find her waiting for you. "Ready?" she said with excitement. You nod and she starts walking away from you, you followed her while she leads you to a hall with large double doors. You noticed that there were two persons standing guard at the large doors, they were wearing black clothes like yours and Sachiko's they look at you with red eyes, Sachiko stops and you stop as well. Sachiko's cheery personality disappeared, her smile turned into a frown and her eyes became lifeless like yours but you were unfazed by her. You knew something was going to happen under those smiles she was giving, because it was too good to be true that you were being saved. "OPEN THE DOOR'S FOR THE FRESH MEAT!" she commanded the two nod and the doors slowly open. "Let's go." She pushes you forward with a scowl on her face, the two of you enter, you were greeted by darkness and an aligned people that's facing you with red eyes like Sachiko's and the two men. You walk forward while looking at the people that was facing you. "Stop." Sachiko said, and you stop from where you are with her beside you. Torches were lit up revealing the place, it was a large throne room with someone sitting at a throne, the women with white hair red eyes and black nails smiles at you.
"Well Hello There." She crosses her legs, and leans-on her hand. "I'm very Impressed by you waking up, being injected by that potent drug." You don't reply. "you know, that drug contained a little bit of poison, but you manage to wake up a day after you were injected, you're very interesting." She stands up at her throne and crosses her arms. "So…do you know where you are..?" she asked.
"No." you said firmly.
"you are within an underground castle, full of assassins." She says stepping down, "Try anything funny and you're killed on the spot." She said standing inches away from you. "your eyes are pretty lifeless, you look as though you were dead." She says putting her hands under her chin. "You also look like a doll, you have a pretty face there, a nice body…and beautiful hair." She circles you, and examines you're features. She strokes you're hair, you were unfazed by her intimidation, she suddenly pulls a knife from her waste pocket and points it at the side of your face. "Seems like you're broken, if you aren't reacting to what's happening in front of you, most people are begging for their life at this point, but it seems that you don't care what happens to you." She slides her hands to your hair and cuts it, shortening it at the length of your waist line. "There we go, you're hair was too long it would be an annoying hazard." She walks up front and faces you. "I like you already, I want you to be a part of us, will you accept?" she asked me looking straight at my lifeless eyes.
"My life is already meaningless, so do as you wish." You said you're expression cold and emotionless. She smiled at you. And pats you're head.
"Very good reply, you know if you either said yes or no I would have killed you, but you gave me a reason to keep and use you. Alright then as of now you are a part of the black wasp assassin's, I will train you personally and I will mess you up good child. And by that I mean Ill destroy what's left of your humanity." You don't react to what she said. the people shouted and cooed in glee, it seems like you were already in hell. "But before anything else you will be given the symbol of becoming a member, you're eyes will be taken as tribute, and will be replaced by this." Someone hands her a jar with red eyeballs inside. "be honored this eyes are very special, and I'm just giving it to you." You don't reply. You just stare at the eyeball that was floating inside the jar.
You're hell started then, the eyes that was presented to you was transplanted earlier on, you were also subjected in many experiments, you were also excruciatingly tortured just for entertainment to your 'queen' but never the less she trained you every step of the way, you were presented with a task in killing someone first before you begin any missions.
"You're a very loyal subject Alice, but before you're assigned to any mission's you must kill this person first." She takes off the sack that was on the man's head, she gives you a sharp blade, and you slowly make your way to the man that was in front of you, you stop and look at him coldly, "What's the matter Alice? having second thoughts?" you're 'queen' said standing beside you, you pulled his hair revealing his neck, you turn the knife backhanded and slice the man's throat open, you're 'queen' squealed in delight, she suddenly embraces you, "It seems like all that cooking, cleaning and training took a toll on your body." She said while patting you're back, she lets you go and faces you. "for a second there I thought you were having second thoughts if you did though, the pain train is going to be under way!" She said smiling at you.
"I already stained my hands with blood, why be ashamed now…" you said to her, staring with your crimson eyes.
"that's what I like about you! You're not ashamed to do what you already did." She pats you're head and then walks to the door, waiting for you, you stare at the man that you killed that was already a corpse and walk outside, you're 'queen' locks the door and walks beside you grinning ear to ear, you follow her as she makes her way to the throne room, with you besides her. "Well now before I ask you to do any request Alice, brew me tea first." She turns and face you.
"What would you like my queen….Chamomile, Oolong, or Dragon Well." You say to her, you're eyes following her movements, that was heading to the throne.
"Nah….anything's fine." She said finally sitting.
"Alright, may I take my leave now?" you bow to her, she waves her hands dismissing you, and you walk away, you were greeted with a familiar face as you walk outside heading for the castle kitchen.
"Heeeyyyy! Alice!" Sachiko said with her goofy and cheery personality, but whether it was fake or not you always just go with the flow, you don't reply to her, you just keep walking to the kitchen.
"So….you've been here for 10 months now, how does it feel?" she said still pestering you. "I've also heard that you're very popular among us, you know our queen rarely ever had any interest in any one other than his son, but it seems like you became very special to her." She said now walking in front of you. You finally head to the kitchen and brewed Dragon Well tea, while you wait for the teapot to boil you lean on the kitchen counter faced Sachiko crossed armed. "Alice! come on! Answer me!" she said crossing her arms and puffing her cheeks. You raise an eyebrow at her.
"Sachiko, first of all I didn't know that you're taking up journalism while being an assassin, second why don't you ask our 'queen' so she can answer you're question's more clearly than I." you turn your back to face the now whistling teapot.
"Yowww! Sarcastic and cold as ever!" she said, while you walk to one of the cabinets finding a cup and saucer. "COME ON ALICE! ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!" you then walk pass her, carrying a cup and saucer at hand.
"you asked me just one question, how does that make it 'questions.'" You said while pouring the hot tea in front of you.
"Come on! If I asked the queen she'd torture me! And why are you always so sarcastic?!" she said pounding her hands to thin air. "you also show little emotion when you're talking to someone!" she said, while you close the tea cup with the lid, you carry it and head to the throne room. "Alice!" she shout's right besides you, you plug you're ear with your empty hand and continue walking. "you're so cold to me Alice!, you're my one and only friend but you still treat me like trash!" She shouted and begins to lightly sob.
"Shut up will you?" you said beginning to furrow you're eyebrows, she suddenly looks at you with glistening eyes.
"Ahhh! You do like me!" you look at her you're eyebrow raised.
"….?" She then pounces you for a hug, but you quickly dodge her by lightly spinning on a semi-circle, she misses and hits the wall.
"OWWWW!" she screamed and hurriedly sits-up.
"What makes you conclude that I like you?" you stop, turning your head slightly while looking at her at the edge of your eye.
"Well..that's because…" she trails off her sentence and looks the other way, her cheeks puffing. "That's because you really, really look beautiful!" she said while pounding the air with a determined expression, you mentally slap you're self for asking an idiot that question, you turn your heels to start walking again when she spoke. "you also looked kind…that's why I like you, and think of you as a friend…" she looks down tears at the side of her eyes.
"It's hard to trust someone when you're in a den full of assassins, how do I know that I can trust you and not just kill me when my back is turned?" you stared straight at the dimly lit hall.
"because the first time I saw you, I knew that I, myself can trust you, you have resolve in your eyes like no other!." She said, well, shouted to be precise. "and also…I feel that you would be loyal and truthful to someone you're close with…" she said lowering her head, staring at the ground. You turn your heels to where she is and reached out your hand to her. She looks up and stares at you with disbelief in her eyes. She takes your hand and you help her stand up, the cup of tea on the other side of your hand of course. "Does these mean…that you acknowledge me as you're friend?" she said staring at you with disbelief. You take your hand back, and closes your eyes for a second, you then open them to meet hers.
"maybe…" you then turn your back, and head to the throne room, leaving Sachiko shocked by what you said. "but remember this…when someone trust you and you break it, it can never be regained again." You said while you turn to a corner. As you reach the throne room you're 'queen' is talking to someone, you come to her side and place her tea at one of the thrones arms. You then stand besides her as she leans backwards at her throne. You notice the person she was talking to, he was the young man that caught you when you were kicked off the stage at that slave auction.
"Well now impressive as ever, you were raised by me after all!." She said proudly. And sips the cup of tea you brewed, she let out a satisfied sigh and smiled at you. "You make the best tea ever!" she said, and sipped again. She brings down the cup and snaps her hand. "Oh! I almost forgot to introduce you to my son Alice." she said with her hands pointing at him. "This is Akihiro my son." He takes his hood down and bows his head slightly to you, you were a little surprised by his features, his hair is white like her mother's his eyes were red like before, his also pretty handsome…
"…" you question you're self why you said that.
"Akihiro, this is my loyal servant and doll, Alice." she gestures her hand to me and I bow as well. I break eye contact and stare straight at the throne hall.
"I'm surprised you found interest in someone other than me Mother." He says eyeing you top to bottom.
"Well I already said the rules to her, but it seems like she chose to stick with me." She said waving her hands.
"Really now..?" he said coming closer to you.
"Uh-huh, the usual do what is told to do and don't try to betray me, and regardless of anything else than that, you can do what you want to do rule." She said, while looking at you bemusedly. Her son stops in front of you.
"She has the looks, but does she have the brains!" he suddenly brings out a knife out of his black cloak and attempts to slash you with it, but you instinctively counter and block it you now hold the knife up his throat. You stare at him motionlessly as he smirks. "well, you do have brains after all." He softens his grip on the knife and relaxes his shoulder. You let go of him and he returns the knife to his waste pocket. He backs away from you and crosses his arms. "You've trained her well mother, maybe a little too well." He said with a smirk.
"She is my doll after all, I wouldn't want anyone to dirty her, so its just fair that I train her." She said while drinking her tea.
"Fair enough." He said while nodding.
"Oh right, Alice, I actually have an assignment for you." She says standing and getting a piece of paper. she then plumps down at her chair and hands it out to you. You receive it and examine the paper you hold. "The man that's in that paper is actually a thief and a killer, someone's requesting to dispatch him immediately, so it means I'm giving you a rank S mission quickly, you have 24 hours to dispatch him, and if the mission fails…then you'll know what will happen to you…right?" she said leaning backwards. And pointing her thumb at the back. Where 'that' room is located. You stared at her and nodded. "Oh you can assign any of the underlings you want." She said waving her hand. "Dismissed!." You turn your back to her and headed towards the exit. "Oh, and Alice, I expect this mission to be successful." You exited the room and headed towards the meeting hall.
Meeting Hall 20 hours left.
You arrive at the meeting hall to find that they were having a brawl. The others stopped when you walk forward to where the center of the brawl is, two idiots were apparently fighting because they were drunk, the shouting died down as you make your way to the center of this mess.
"…" you look coldly at the two, and they look up at you. "I need someone to escort me in a mission." They all stared at you with their red eyes. The two parted ways and raised an eyebrow at you.
"you're the queens doll, so why should we take orders from you?" you look at the drunk man, and rushed forward at him, he tried to attack you by punching but you easily dodge it you then grab his arm and pin him down to the table that was in front of you.
"Why you say?" you sarcastically said to him. You then lunge you're leg forward to him, smashing the table and knocking him out from you're leg's impact. "That's why." You whispered in his ear. The other drunk attacked you but you easily strike his neck knocking him out as well. "Listen you incompetent fools, I need five of you to escort me on my mission, you neither have the privilege to decline me, so I suggest you do what I say, or else…" you approached the knocked out drunk, pulls his hair revealing his vulnerable neck and pulls a knife from your wrist pocket, you then slice the man's throat open smearing one of the people in front of you with blood. You pull the dead man's head tearing it from his body, you throw the head in front of the people, they were horrified. "You either do what I say, don't take me too lightly." You glared at them with your menacing crimson eyes. You abruptly point to someone, he shuddered at you "You!" you point to the left "You." "You, also with the brown hair at the bar." You said, the people around you turn their head at you're back to the guy that was drinking unfazed at what was happening. "You also goldilocks." You said pointing you're hand at the center of the crowd, she smirks at you. "Forward now!" They didn't resist at all and walked in front of you. "State your full name out loud." You said eyeing them one by one, they took off their hoods at you, showing respect.
"My name's Hideo Althus " the first guy said.
"You're first name doesn't really suit an idiot like you." You said with venom in your voice. "Next!" you turn your eyes at the other one.
"My names Katsu Bayer ma'am!" he said looking at you straight in the eyes.
"What a joke! You're first name doesn't fit you as well! And stop sucking up!." You approach him closer and brought you're face closer as well. "Think you can really stare at me on the eye like that?!" you said he sweat dropped and falls backward really terrified.
"I'm sorry!" he closes his eyes tears forming besides his eye.
"And you?" you said turning your attention to the guy with brown hair, eyebrow raised.
"Shichiro Braun." He said looking at you.
"Hmmp.." you look at him with a dark expression on your face, you smirk bemusedly at him, and turn your attention to the blond.
"What about you goldilocks?" you raised a brow at her, she looks and smirks at you.
"Yukiko Dreher." She said shortly. You nod and suddenly knee her stomach, they were all surprised at what you did, she curls up the floor in pain.
"Mock me when you surpass me and become a superior." You glare at her. She closes her eyes in pain.
"Where's Sachiko?" you asked staring at one of the audience.
"S-S-She's probably behind the bar asleep again!" he shouted at you. You stare at you're pathetic escorts, and leave them to stand there petrified in fear. You walk behind the counter to find Sachiko asleep, you reached out and grabbed two bottles of vodka smashing it to one another, its content spilling and the debris falling from her. She abruptly wakes up.
"You awake yet? You have a mission." You said to her, you furrow you're eyebrow, and she nods at you, you walk away from her and she follows you. "Let's go do as I say, we need to complete this mission before you wander away from me. Alright?!" you said walking to the exit of the meeting hall, they all followed you with terrified expressions on their faces except for Sachiko, whose excited to come with you. When you finally got out, you look at each one of them and nodded, you then ran to the exit of the castle and begin the mission.
AT THE CITY 15 Hours and 50 minutes Left
You were all asking around the city, for the man you have to assassinate, when you gathered to the meeting point in front of the butcher's shop you exchanged information until Shichiro found out that they were transporting illegal drugs not too far from where you are, you all pinpointed the man's location and planned an ambush for him. You all went to the ambush site, where they'll make a sharp turn to an abandoned house near a river. You wait for the caravan to go through the abandoned site, when the caravan finally came you gave the signal to them and you attacked swiftly and quietly aiming for the throat for an instant kill. You first target the men that was guarding the caravan, you open the passenger door from the caravan and take him out, he falls down to the ground.
"What the Hell?! Who are you people?!" he said screaming and cursing, you all look at him with your red eyes and he was beginning to be terrified. "Don't you know that I have an important transaction to someone that'll make me rich?!" he said again edging away from you, you hold the knife in front of your face, you're lips forming a small and evil smile, you then lick the edge of the blade coming closer to the man that you were assigned to kill, a small red glint appears from the side of your crimson eyes."I-Ill call the military police.!" He shouted still edging away from you, you frown and kick him in the stomach. He curls up at pain. You kick him again and he groans. You then raised an eyebrow and turned you're head slightly looking at the edge of your eye. One of them comes forward and holds the man in front of you, "STOP! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" he said you come to him, grabs his hair and slices his neck really deep. He stared at you wide eyed while blood gushes from his neck, Katsu then releases him.
"Mission complete!" Sachiko shouted, you then approach the corpse of the target and started slicing and tearing his head off.
"D-Do you always do that….?" goldilocks hesitantly asking, you then showed her the severed head, and looked at her.
"Evidence." You said unfazed at what you did, she turns around and puked all over, Sachiko raised a brow at you and smiled nervously.
"Couldn't you just take a part of his belongings or something? Because that's disgusting." She said while turning away making a disgusted face.
"Showing these would be more believable, than any of his belongings." You said while taking off the headless corpse jacket to wrap it around the severed head. "Besides, you can take anyone's belongings and say you killed that person because that was his/hers, but the truth is you didn't do the job and just slacked off." You said while facing them, also holding the head that's covered and wrapped neatly. "Lets get going." You were all going to turn your heels and walk away when you suddenly stopped, and looked back at the horses. "Wait." You said they all stopped and looked at you, you then walk to the front of the caravan where the horses are and took off their restraints in holding the caravan. You slapped one of the horses behind and they take off. You then look at the boys, that was staring at you, you glared at them. "Help me will you?" you said, they came forward and the three of you, dropped the caravan at the river. "Drop the corpses as well." You said. Sachiko, and Yukiko carried the bodies and also dropped them to the river. "Alright lets go." You finally said, and you all walk away and headed for the city.
THE CITY 9 Hours and 38 minutes Left
You headed to the clients place, you're hood on, and entered their place. The man that was you're client was very thin, his wife besides him. "D-Did you do it?" he said with a frail voice. You gestured Hideo to bring out the head, when you're eyes caught the sight of their children peeping, you gestured him to stop.
"Put the 'proof' on the table." You said, he nodded and puts the head down the table, their faces lighten up as they saw it on the table. The man then hurriedly stands up from where he was sitting and presented the money to you. You stared at the money and looked at it with concern, you then look at the children that was peeping at the door.
"Please take it, that's all we have." He said pushing the money in front of you. You then shook you're head and place your hand on top of his.
"It's fine." You push the money back from them, there looks pretty confused, "You need it more than we do, use your money on your family." You then point at the door that their kids were, pepping through. "you should also keep your children away before you look at this alright?, afterwards dispose of it quickly or burn it." You heard the shuffling of your companions, there looking at each other with confused looks on their faces. You stare at the clients with an expressionless look on your face, you then stand up at your chair, the man and his wife look up to you, you then pat the arm of one of your companions, and they exited the house with you also exiting.
"Thank you!" the man said with a groggy voice, he was clearly crying his wife as well, you heard there light sobs and sniffling.
"…" you stop, and lightly turned you're head to them before you fully exit there house. You all walk in silence from their house. "Hmm…"
"What's wrong?" Sachiko said coming closer besides you.
"I forgot that we don't have evidence of the kill…" you said turning your head to look at Sachiko. "Sachiko go back and get the head." You said looking straight, walking from the city plaza.
"Wait! Why Me?!" she said puffing her cheeks, complaining.
"Because your an idiot, now go and get it back." You said stopping, with the others also stopping and looking at Sachiko.
"Awww…" she said stomping her boots.
"Be here in less than five minutes or else…you come with her Hideo." You said looking at him, he shuddered in fear. "Now!" you shouted and the two ran to the clients house, to retrieve the head again. You stood there and stared blankly at the people that were passing by, Yukiko and Katsu also stood there with you, you heard them shuffling behind your back, until one of them spoke.
"U-Um…." You turn around and faced them, you looked at goldilocks that shivered in fear.
"What?" You said raising a brow at her.
"Well…um…" she said her voice nervous.
"You're free to wander the city, don't cause any racket, and be here before the clock strikes 5:30" you said pointing at the plaza's clock. You then turn your eyes to the two of them. "Understood?" you said both of them nodding, they left you heading to their separate directions. You stood there and waited for the two to return. You stare at the people, one of the people caught you're attention, they were a family, with the mother and father and their child at the center, you look at them blankly and remembered your own family, you're attention was drawn from them by the heavy breathing of the two from you're back. "You're both late." You said turning to face them. they were breathing quiet heavily, as they show you the wrapped head that they retrieved.
"They were about to burn it we luckily got there in time." Hideo said, bringing the head down.
"We weren't late!" Sachiko added.
"I could retrieve that head, In no more than mere 3 minutes." You said looking at Sachiko, Sachiko drops down and lays at the ground.
"Really now?" She said she looked at you and smiled. "Grab the clouds then." She said giggling.
"That's unreasonable." You said, raising your brow. You're attention was shifted when a crying little girl, was running you're way. She tugged you're cloak while rubbing her eyes.
"Help! Big Sister!." She pointed to somewhere while still rubbing her eyes. "Big Brother Is being beaten up by that dark alley!" she sniffled. You look at her blankly, you then look at Sachiko and Hideo
"You two can wander around, but be back here by 5:30, Hold on to that Hideo." You point at the head, you then turn your attention to the crying girl. "Bring me to him." You said, the girl nodded while pulling you to where the boy was being beaten up. She later lets go and ran in front of the alley.
"He's In there." She points inside the alley while crying again.
"Stay here." You said while entering the alley. You saw 4 young men surrounding someone, that was lying on the ground. You grab one of their shoulders and knock them instantly out, the boy on the ground didn't notice what you did, he was just surprised that the young men were lying on the floor motionlessly now. He stands up and face you.
"What the hell?! I was going to beat them up!" he said rubbing his cheek.
"Oh really now..?" you bring you're hood down, raising a brow at him. "Did I interrupt you?" You said with a slightly mocking tone.
"That's right!" he shouted you giggled at him, he now looks more pissed off than before. You squat down to his eye level and flicked his forehead. "Owww! You'll pay for that!" he said taken aback by you, he then glares at you with his hand on his forehead, he was suddenly surprised as he looks at you. "You- you're…" his memory flashes back, he then stares at you with disbelief, you stand upright and tilt you're head looking at him a little confused. "What happened to your eyes….?" He said having a concerned look in his eyes for you.
"?" you stared at him asking you're self if you know this kid.
"LEVI!"voices said in unison, the two of you turn your head from the ally's exit, a young man and a young women, run towards you gasping for breath.
"There you are." The red headed girl said. wiping her sweat.
"Is this you're sibling? you should keep an eye on this kid before he causes you any more trouble." You said to them you then gestured to the kid, whose face is darkening and a vein popping on his temples…
"Wait,wait,wait did you say kid- Whoa!" the young man said surprised as he looks at you. "Red eyes!" he said, you stare at him you're brow raised, he then blushes for no reason as he looks away from you. "Levi isn't a kid…" he said looking at his friend with a sweat drop.
"Huh…?" you said beginning to be confused.
"He's already…22" he said shrugging.
"Don't be fooled by his young looks…" The young lady said besides him.
"That's right brat!" he shouted his fist clenched, and glaring at you angrily. You stare at him blankly, you then turn your head to the young man and girl.
"And you?" you said asking their age.
"HEY STOP IGNORING ME!" The kid, Levi, shouted you just brush him off as you continue to look at the two.
"His older than us by 2 years, were 20." The young girl said. looking and shrugging at you.
"HEYYYY!" Levi shouted again, but you continue to ignore him.
"What about you?" The young girl asked. You then turn to Levi.
"I'm actually…16…." You then giggled at him. You flicked his forehead once again, the force taking him aback, he holds his forehead now red and clenched his fist in anger.
"YOU BRAT!" he was about to grab you're cloak, when you backed stepped, and ran from him, you turn around to him your tongue sticking out, he tries to catch you but the glare from the setting sun causes him to slow down.
"Better luck next time pip-squeak!" you then disappear along with the light, putting you're hood once again.
"Seems like you found you're soul mate Levi." the girl said laughing.
"Hmmp." He just glared and clicked his tongue at the two turning his back from them.
"Humanity's strongest soldier being flicked on the forehead by a 16 year old…." The young man said chuckling, then laughing and falls at the ground.
"…" Levi stared at the distance where you disappeared.
You then returned at the city's plaza, you sit at one of the benches and saw the little girl from before she was happily running towards you with a flower at hand.
"Big sister!" she said, as she stops in front of you, she holds the flower to you and you accept it. "That's for you big sister, thanks for helping big brother." You look at her then to the flower, you stare at it for a few seconds and then to the girl again, you were surprised when the girl standing in front of you disappeared you look around the plaza, but she was nowhere in plain sight. A tap on the shoulder suddenly shifts you're attention.
"Hey! I was looking for you!" Sachiko said smiling at you.
"The girl from before…" you said to her turning your head to the plaza again.
"You mean the one that was shouting for help earlier?" she said as she sits next to you. You stared blankly at the people in the plaza, and spoke.
"She disappeared." You said turning your attention to the dandelion.
"A ghost?!" she said with a frightened voice. She shook's her head brushing off the feeling of being frightened. "Anyway! I have something for you." She said you put away the dandelion in one of your cloak pockets and turned you're attention to her. "Tada!" she said holding a black choker with a star pendant on the center.
"I'm not a dog." You said and stared at her.
"This isn't for dogs! It's for humans, it's the latest fashion trend you know!" she said beaming happily at it, she handed you the choker and you received it.
"you shouldn't waste your money on me, I'm not really worth it." You said staring at the choker she gave you.
"loosen up!, were outside you know, and I'm not wasting my money, you're my friend so it's worth it." She said smiling at you, you put the choker on and turned to face her. "See? It looks good on you, you're even more beautiful than before."
"Thanks…" you said to her, she beamed at you happily, she grabs you and embraces you without resisting at all. She looks at you pretty surprised.
"you didn't resist…" she said still hugging you. you don't respond to her, you look at the plaza and stared at the people passing by. "You're warm…" she said resting her head on your shoulder.
"It's almost time." You looked up at the clock. As the clock strikes 5:30, Sachiko lets you go and stood up, you also stand up, you're other companions arrived at the plaza and come to you. "You didn't lose the head now Hideo." You looked at Hideo, he nods and show you the head.
"All here." He said holding out the head. you nod at him, all of you then walked away heading to the underground castle once again…you're Hell.
Once you all returned to the castle you all parted ways, Hideo gave you the head, you then walked towards the throne room with the wrapped head in hand. You entered the room with your 'queen' sitting on her throne leaning on one of the arms, you look up to her, she smiled at you bemusedly and raised a brow, you stared at her motionlessly as you unwrapped and drop the head to the floor.
"Mission Complete." You said to her. She stood up and grabbed the head that was on the floor and examined it.
"Very good Alice, as expected from my doll." She said, she always treats you like an inanimate object. "You can rest now." She said carrying the head to the throne, you turn your heels to the exit when she suddenly said something again. "Oh before you do, clean my quarters first, I want it squeaky clean when I go there alright?" you stopped and nodded, before you continue to walk out to the exit.
