It had been a year after Alice died that Blood found the letter. It was not addressed or signed but Blood knew Alice's curved handwriting. The letter was stained with tear marks but Blood had a feeling that those were not there when was originally written. He opened the letter with shaking hands. When he did more letters fell out. They were each addressed to different Role holders. The one addressed to him was blood red with black gel ink.
Dear Blood,
I know you don't really notice me and I know you hate me but I love you. I know it's too late now to tell you ().
No you could have told me, Blood thought with pain.
I tried to tell you one time but you were too busy. Don't think that's the reason I did it. No it was not even close. I just didn't want to go though the same feeling of despair again.
I would not have put you though that...not like him, Blood cried inside his head.
I'm sorry if I hurt you when I did this but it had to be done. I hope this also made you think that life is very precious. I do have to say you did one thing to make me do this, one tiny thing that turned into a big problem. You acted like I was just a toy not a person. That one time you said you loved me I wanted to believe it but it was you, Blood, who said it. Blood the Mafioso who flirts with me everyday. So I didn't believe you.
But I did mean it, blood was now crying on the outside too.
Wow I never thought I would sound this pathetic every again but I guess I am pathetic and always will be. I have to keep it simple now because I'm staring to feel too depressed so to end I will say this again, I love you.
With love,
Alice P. Liddell
Blood stood there not believing what he was reading. It's different imagining it but to hear his precious Alice saying that tore his already halved heart into fourths. To get Alice back Blood would go as far as to let his "heart" get taken by the After-Images. That's how much he loved his Alice. He didn't know it but he was starting to become obsessed with "his" Alice.
He always read the letter when he woke up in the morning and before he went to bed. He would always have it with him. Eventually he gave the other Role holders their letters which matched them perfectly color wise. He never stayed to see their reactions but he knew like him that they had found something that broke their hearts.
Alice stood next to Nightmare waiting for what was to come next. She started to feel light-headed well as much as someone who is dead can feel. She felt as if she was floating but then she felt as if she weighed a ton. She was pressed into the ground. Her body slowly sunk into the floor and then she disappeared.
Blood never got over "his" Alice and he never saw another outsider as amazing as her, there was only two more. He eventually calmed down enough to continue with his role holding duties.
