-Epilogue-
"Hm? What's this?" I picked up, what seems to be like a journal of some sort. I didn't know whose it was, so I read it.
"Hmmm…." I kept reading, then after a few chapters of the journal I suddenly knew who's it was. It was mine. I wrote in it when I was 17, and I was surprised when I found it. I forgot all about this journal, and I wrote it when I was stuck in that cave.
I shivered when I thought about those days. I really didn't like being there…..
/Flashback/
"Gil!"
I heard a voice.
"Gil!"
I heard it again….
Huh….?
What's that sound…?
Then I heard some crumbling noises. Then…
I saw light.
Who….?
I wanted to look at who it was, but I was too tired to even do anything. I just lied on the ground, too tired to even speak and too tired to move. I was too hungry…..I was thirsty…...I was going to die…
Until I heard the voice again.
"Gilbert!"
I heard fast footsteps…..
"Hey! You alright?!"
I didn't want to say anything…..
"Hey!"
Who was this person….?
"Okay, don't tell me your dead. You better answer dammit!"
Then I knew who it was….
But I was too tired to actually react.
"….Break…?"
A sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness"
What….?
Was Break ever….like this….?
"We're going to bring you back to Pandora, so have some rest, and once you're actually alive, then you have to answer some questions got that?!"
Then some more movements, and I felt myself go off the ground.
Then light….
/End of Flashback/
That was when I was seventeen….
That was seven years ago.
I'm twenty-four now.
And they couldn't find me because I suddenly disappeared.
The cave was gone.
I didn't believe them, but when I came back to that same place a few months ago, even though I didn't want to, it really wasn't there…
Almost like it was….
Magic.
But still….
That same question was still going on in my mind…
What's wrong with him?
"What did you find?"
I turned around only to see a certain Mad Hatter leaning against the doorway of my room.
"Did you find anything?"
I gave a sigh. "Just my journal."
He looked at me like I was crazy. "Journal?"
I looked at him, a little annoyed. "Yeah, you told me I needed to write something someday, so I said why not?"
He gave a chuckle. "Oh, I see~~ Okay then~~"
"Now's the time…" I thought.
"Hey Break?"
He faced me with a slight smile. "Hm?"
"Why did you act like that from that one day?"
He stared at me, in a confused manner. "What day?"
"You know, when I was seventeen….In that cave."
"Oh…" He looked at me, and a silent turned on for about a few minutes before Break chuckled. "I just wanted see if you were okay~ You have the thing we needed after all~~"
I glared at him. "Thanks for unders-"
"Before it was stolen."
My glare disappeared and I stared at him.
I forgot….
Someone stole that artifact…
Someone stole that bell….
"But luckily we found an alternative"
My stare lightened and I found a relieved expression.
"You did?!"
He smiled and nodded.
"Yup, and we're doing it now."
He took out his hand.
"So let's go shall we?"
I looked at him. I didn't need to ask.
"Of course."
He smiled, and let his hand down. "I'll be at the usual place. You better be there." And he walked away.
I stood in my room, trying to sink it in, but I could only smile.
"…Liar. That wasn't the reason why you saved me." But I could only smile and walk out as well. I couldn't think of that right now, after all.
It was time to bring my master back.
