~ Chapter 3: Deep Slumber ~

Alice's POV

Gong.

Gong.

Gong.

The bells in the distance signal that the first day of school is finally over.

Yes. Finally, I can go home, relax, and eat as much meat as I want without anyone bothering me.

As subtly as I could, I glance at Oz who is now my first official best friend. He was packing up his things into his backpack. I was mesmerized by the way he was doing it. The way his hands moved to grab all of his things.

"Alice? Are you all right? You seem kind of…distracted." Oz said as he waved a hand at me.

Blushing I shake my head to get myself to focus.

What's up with me? I've been doing this all day. This spacing out kind of thing. Especially when Oz is around. Am I…? No way in hell. I just met him today! It's probably because he's my first ever friend I've made. Yeah that's it.

"I am not, thank you very much. I was just thinking that's all." I said snapping at him.

Holding up his hands in defense he replies "Don't worry Alice; I was just concerned that's all. Anyway I was wondering, since we don't have any HW want to come by my place and chill?"

I frowned confused. "Chill? What's that? It sounds cold."

"Ah no, no, no, Alice. Hang out I mean. It's what friends do in their free time to get to know each other better." Oz explained. "Since we're friends I thought that would be a good idea."

"Oh." I said quietly. Nodding my head, I follow Oz out of the classroom. He's had to do this all day. Explain this "friendship" thing to me. Since I've never had a friend before Oz took it upon himself to tell me whatever it is I don't understand. It's actually been quite helpful actually. The only thing that's been bothering me is that he keeps avoiding the subject on "girlfriend and boyfriend". Says it's complicated and that he'll tell me all about it another time.

Complicated his ass. He should just explain to me what it is! Is it a kind of food; because I know my meats. I stood there in the middle of the hall contemplating what it was.

"I live pretty close to the school. It's not that far of a walk from here." Oz stated. Upon hearing his voice I jogged to where he stood, careful not to get caught in the crowd. Once we arrived outside of school grounds Oz started to lead me towards his house.

"Hey Oz. You said you had a sister right?" I asked him. This question had been bothering me all day. I was curious as to what she was like because I don't have any siblings.

Grinning Oz nodded. "Yeah, her name's Ada. She's a few years younger than us actually. Well, not really she goes to Pandora. Ada's a 1st year so you wouldn't have seen her."

I kind of regretted asking Oz that question because he began to ramble on and on about her. Ada this and Ada that. I don't know why but hearing Oz talk about his sister like that annoyed me a little. Oz noticing me frowning began to trying to reassure me. Guess he thought I was going to be scared of Ada or something. "But don't worry she's really nice. I'm sure you'll like her!"

"Uh yeah sure. So, where is your house anyway?" I questioned.

"Right here." Coming to an abrupt halt I ended up running into him.

"OOF." I mumble. I hear Oz laughing and he says "Silly Alice."

I harrumphed not happy at the fact that he called me silly.

I'm not silly, I just happened to bump into him. What's with his sense of humour?

Although I didn't get what he meant I felt myself blush a little with that comment of his. After ringing the doorbell someone opened the door.

"Hey, Ada. I'd like you to meet someone." Oz said. I peered around him to see a girl with long blonde hair. She had it tied half up half down and was still wearing the school uniform of Pandora for 1st years. Same style as mine but instead of a sliver trim and tie it was the color of copper.

"Where is she? I don't see her…" Ada said as she looked for me.

Wha-? I'm not that short! Then again I am hiding behind Oz.

"She's right here." Oz says whilst he grabs my hand and brings me forward. "Her name is Alice Baskerville. She's a new friend that I've made!"

"That's me." I proclaimed. Putting my hands on my hips I stood up a little straighter trying to make myself appear a little taller.

"Oh you're Alice! Oz told me all about you earlier today. He texted me saying how you were so—mmf!" her voice was muffled because Oz put his hand over her mouth.

"That's enough from you Ada. I told her about you after we ate lunch. By the way does your Mom know you're here? You should tell her." Oz said as he laughed nervously.

"Wait, hold up; so what? I want to know Oz." I really wanted to know what she was going to say.

Was it something bad? Something good?

"Call your Mom Alice and tell her you're here!" Oz called as he walked away with Ada on tow.

"Wait Oz!" I stamped my foot.

Ugh. I'll just as Ada later. I'm sure she won't mind telling me what Oz didn't want me to know.

Pulling out my phone I texted:

At a friend's house. I'll be home a little late but don't worry.

Alice

Surprisingly a couple seconds after I hit send I got a reply back. It read:

Ok, be safe. I won't be home until 8 so ask for a ride home ok? I'm getting groceries. Love you!

Mom

Wow she didn't even ask who I was with. That's odd. Guess she really does feel strong about this place. Took her forever to stop her from talking about how safe this place was.

I put my phone back into my blazer's pocket and headed towards where I saw Oz and Ada go. When I arrive I see that we're in their living room. A fireplace in the middle with a fire going and two white couches opposite of each other with a brown coffee table in the middle. The walls were painted a deep burgundy with small pictures of Ada and Oz from when they were little. On the mantle is a portrait of a family. It had Oz, Ada, and a man with a beard.

Who's that man with the beard? He looks a little young to be their Father…then again I could be wrong. I mean I was wrong about Gil. Wait—no not wrong just mistaken because Alice Baskerville is NEVER wrong.

"Ah Alice there you are." Oz waved at me from the couch. Ada was nowhere to be seen. Then suddenly out of nowhere Ada pops out. I don't know if it's from her popping out or what but I get a bit dizzy and feel tired.

What—where did she? Oh she's right there. What is this feeling? I feel quite tired. I want to rest. I feel the back of my knees get a bit wobbly and I start to tremble. Darkness is flooding my vision like a wave that hits the shore. Getting ever so close to dunes but not quite reaching it just yet.

"Didn't get to properly introduce myself earlier, pardon me. I'm Ada Vessalius, Oz's little sister." She states as she grabs my hand vigorously shaking it up and down. By now my vision has gotten a little blurry and I can barely see. Its dark on both sides and my field of vision is getting smaller and smaller. My eyelids feel heavy and I can hardly keep them open.

Maybe I should give in. A nice nap sounds nice.

"Alice, are you alright? Alice!" a voice yells. I presume its Oz but I can't quite tell. The darkness expands and is slowly pulling me in. Not being able to take it any longer I give in to the darkness and sleep.
