Alice frowned, "I have more explosives now after you so kindly burned my supplies." she sarcastically replied, making sure to emphasize her sarcasm. Alice knew she could be a sarcastic jerk and she enjoyed every second of it.
"I have more medical supplies now after you so kindly shot my two crewmates. Through the intestine, nonetheless." Law mocked irritably, a hint of warning evident in his voice. Alice already knew it wouldn't have killed them, they were too pitiful for that, but she had first hand experience that shots through the gut were troublesome.
Alice snickered, "Would you believe me if I told you I did that on purpose?" Alice teased, eyes shining from the moon. Duh, of course. It'd be hard to heal and it's quite painful. There was a silence again and Alice was wondering if the connection really did break and that Law was just bluffing about being below her.
"I swear, I'll make your death a living hell." Law muttered, and Alice could nearly feel his glare from below the water. Like a Sea King scowling at it's prey. Alice raised an eyebrow. However, I wonder who's the predator and who's the prey...
Alice smirked, "If you can catch me, that is." Alice chuckled, sitting properly and paddling as hard as she could muster. A bead of sweat dribbled down her forehead as her arms started to ache. This man is serious...have to paddle harder...
"Going faster won't help." Law mocked, almost seemingly proud of the fact that he had gotten Alice a little nervous. She rolled her eyes. Dude, it's not that impressive. Just like those lame guys at the bar using pick up lines and expecting me to be all over them.
Alice scowled, "Keep talking and I'll seriously explode you." Alice threatened, her arms screaming in protest for her to slow down. Alice finally gave in when her arms were numb and she could barely feel them anymore. She tried to keep her pants quiet. I'll be damned if he finds out I'm tired. Alice raised an eyebrow when she head some beeps from the den den mushi. She held it in her hand and gently shook it, "Are you broken or something?" Alice murmured.
"Shit." Law muttered, and Alice heard some mumbling in the background. Alice was about to question what was going on before a loud roar behind her answered her silent question.
Her heart sank, "Sea King..." she mumbled, completely familiar with the roar. Alice traveled often, and usually by rowboat, so Sea Kings weren't anything new to her. She grabbed her guns and closed an eye, but for some reason, she hesitated. Why? Why am I hesitating? These are explosive bullets...a few will sink it. It might crash into Law's submarine. ...Damn. Alice's lips curved upwards. Double kill, I'm impressed with myself. Alice chuckled as she shot six bullets, two every second. The sea king released a ear deafening roar at the explosions, but Alice knew it wasn't dead. It wouldn't be that easy... Still, the sea king slowly sunk into the ocean.
Alice couldn't help herself as she held the den den mushi in her hand, "Having fun?" Alice chirped, her tone happy and proud of herself. His reactions are actually pretty amusing now that I think about it... Other than when he's being a douche. Like he is ninety point nine, nine, nine, nine, percent of the time.
"Fuck you." Law scowled, his tone irritated and angry. Alice smiled as she looked around, noticing that she was near a cove. Alice shrugged as she dragged her small rowboat and dragged it to the shore. With ease, she lifted it over her head, and placed it behind some rocks, where it would be safely hidden from view. Thank kami, I'm tired as hell. I wouldn't be able to fight them off in this state, I just need a short break. Alice nodded as she skipped through the cave-like entrance, the darkness and smell of salt and muskiness welcoming her.
Alice bit her lip. What an odd cove. Usually the entrance formed by rocks wouldn't be that deep, but it's almost like an actual cave here... The darkness didn't bother Alice, and she would even debate she saw things better in the darkness. "Oi." Law scowled, and Alice nearly forgot she still had the small baby snail with her.
"Aye?" Alice asked, peering around, admiring the uniqueness of this cove. The strange formations and light from hidden crevices created strange shadows that danced around Alice, which freaked her out, but the good kind of freaked out. Like when telling ghost stories, but you know they're not really true. A harmless thrill.
"Where the hell did you go?" Law muttered, his impatience showing. Alice muffled a giggle at the grouchy man's unexpected side. 'Suppose he can't always be a stoic bastard... Now he can be a stoic and impatient bastard!
"Somewhere." Alice answered boredly, jumping over a small puddle, before she realized her grave mistake. Every sound she made, was defined to the point it echoed through the entire cove-
"Yeah, she's here, her voice is echoing through the entire place." a faraway voice mumbled, confirming Alice's thought.
Alice's heart skipped a beat, "I hate you." Alice mumbled before shutting off the den den mushi. Alice groaned as the small snail started making the weird sound again. This guy is desperate.
Alice answered, "Stop it." she whispered, but it was no use, her voice echoed through the entire cove.
"Oi, just give me back my damn den den mushi!" Shachi screamed, his voice wavering through the entire cove. It sounded like a creepy replay of the same thing over and over again, and once again, it creeped Alice out. That's what she told herself anyway.
Alice sweatdropped, "But it's cute!" she defended, ignoring the fact her voice was getting higher and quieter.
"I know it is- no wait, it's not! It's manly!" Shachi retorted. Alice chuckled before throwing it with dead accuracy where she saw a dark figure roaming aimlessly.
"Ow, the hell! I'm not Shachi, I'm Kai!" Kai scowled, and Alice's mind quickly went to work trying to process who this Kai her ears heard of was.
Alice's eyes lit up, "Ah, the one with the rifle and ugly eyes..." Alice chuckled, which earned her a scowl.
"Bitch, your eyes are the same color as mine!" he retorted, and for a moment, everything went silent. Dramatically silent.
Alice's smirk faltered, "Don't you dare compare you shitty eyes to mine, you son of a bitch." Alice replied in a dead serious voice, her eyes hardened and face steeled.
"...You have got to be the dumbest bitch alive." Kai sighed, rubbing his forehead. Alice ignored him and counted the amount of people she could see. Kai, Shachi, Penguin, Ran, Kishin...no Law...where's Law? Oh, and a walking bear. That's normal. Alice snickered when she heard a cry of pain.
"Dammit! How the hell do you walk around blindly in this place?!" Kai scowled, followed by an irritated grunt. Alice smirked. That's because I don't walk around blindly. True enough, the cove was full of small crevices and cracks, not to mention sharp and rough walls.
Alice stiffened when she heard some new footsteps, "I told you guys to wait. Follow orders. Of course it's useless to go around walking here blindly in the dark. Here's some torches and matches. Light them yourselves." Law ordered, handing the others a torch and some matches. Alice gulped. Shit. The darkness was my advantage. I have to run. Alice ran desperately deeper, not that it helped a lot, it was just one straight path.
Alice thanked her lucky stars when the straight path eventually split up into two different paths... The only question...which way? Alice shrugged before deciding on the right path, and hoped for the best. If they're weren't stupid, they would split up...seven people. Let's hope for the best. Alice stood in front of the two paths and took a vial of perfume out from her bra. A bear...bears have sensitive noses. Hopefully, he'll get dizzy from the heavy scent and he won't be able to track me down. Even better, he doesn't come. That would leave back to six people...so groups of three. I'm so smart. Alice dropped the vial, releasing a heavy fruity and floral smell, and charged into the right path.
Alice frowned at the sudden brightness from behind her, but she was already rather deep in the path. Alice sighed. Seriously...what have I done to deserve this...? Alice kept running, even if her legs were starting to tire.
Law's fists clenched at the heavy scent of fruit and flowers. Bepo was behind him, stumbling while his eyes were spinning. "Captain...I don't think Bepo can handle-" Shachi mumbled. "We'll split up." Law ordered. "Split yourselves into groups of three." Law added, frowning as Bepo flopped onto the ground.
"S-Sorry Captain..." Bepo mumbled, the poor talking bear's eyes swirling with dizziness, a fog of gloom hovering above his head.
Law sighed, "Change of plans. One group of three, one group of two. I'll be joining the group with two." Law ordered, while the others saluted. Kai, Kenshin and Rin as one group. Shachi, Penguin and Law as the other.
"Kai, Kenshin, Rin, go right. We'll go left." Law ordered, leading his group towards the left direction. "Tell me if you find her." Law added, as he went in deeper with Shachi and Penguin behind him. Kai, Kenshin and Rin nodded, and headed into the right turn.
Alice frowned when she saw tiny specks of light coming from behind her. So they did split up...hopefully- no, I'm a perfectionist. Of course they split up. Alice walked deeper and deeper, while the darkness grew...darker with every step.
"Leave." moaned a voice. Alice's eyes widened. Oh no- Alice crouched down with her hands over her head as she screamed as loud as her voice would let her. Alice was shivering. No, no, get up...stupid Phasmophobia...fear of supernatural. Alice's mind was working overdrive, trying to force her body to move, but her body wasn't listening. Alice released another desperate scream. She learned the hard way. Screaming was the only way she could possibly calm down. She took in a deep breath before screaming again.
With a sudden relief of reassurance, she got on her feet and started running. I swear, this fear will be the end of me... Alice always hated the supernatural, even from a young age. She was a practical person, and ghosts and spirits just didn't sit right with her. However, she never expected to become afraid of them. She wasn't. Alice really wasn't. Her mind was fine with ghosts and spirits, but her body was not. It would always shut down at creepy stuff, and Alice almost hated herself for it. However...screaming always helps for some reason...I don't understand my body...
"...Just what was that?" Kai asked. Alice scowled. Damn, they're closer than I expected. I give maybe a few yards away from me now. "Oi, I'm talking to you bitch! What was all that screaming for? Hoping to scare us off or something?" he taunted.
Alice scowled, "As if! I just screamed 'cause I felt like it." Alice replied, running faster. Alice's eyes widened before she muttered a swear and ducked, dodging a sharp whoosh of air. Alice scowled. Haki...from the shape of it...from a sword. That samurai then? Damn, haki users are annoying. Alice got up and continued to run, dodging a few haki slices here and there.
"She's not half bad..." Kenshin muttered quietly to himself. That girl can see my haki attacks...how odd. Then again, she's running blindly through the cave perfectly fine...she probably has haki as well... Kenshin raised his katana and released another strike, which Alice evaded. Kenshin scowled, "If she keeps dodging, this is pointless." he muttered.
Rin smiled reassuringly, "No worries, she'll tire eventually." he replied.
Kai scoffed, "As if. That girl's been running from us ever since we met her. I doubt she's going to tire any time soon, with that ridiculous stamina of hers." he muttered.
Alice frowned. I appreciate the compliment, but I don't have ridiculous stamina. Average, and perhaps a little more than average, stamina at best. It's just that I manage my energy well and that I have superhuman strength is all. Alice groaned as her legs were screaming at her to slow down. She glared at her legs. Do you want to get dissected by some evil doctor? No? Shut up. Alice's eyes widened when she saw the deadend about a yard away from her. A bead of sweat dribbled down her forehead as she muttered a swear. I knew I would regret this...
Taking a break from one of my main stories from my main account to work on this for a bit... Been a while since I last updated. ...Ha, I even forgot about this since it's not my main account...opps...
