Pure: Hey everyone! So apparently I've gotten a bit of complaint on how the ending of Shattered Reality was either too confusing or didn't liked. Honestly I didn't think much would like this story so I was pretty shocked. So now I've come with this Epilogue to help clear up something, even if you may not like how it will turn out at least everything will be cleared up. I am also going to try this from first person point of view, so tell me what you think!
I don't own Joker/Clover/Heart no Kuni no Alice!

Is this really it? Is this my life now? Trapped in this…shell of a body that isn't my own any more. Listening to that song, made me forever more bounded to this man. I cannot escape, no matter how hard I try to.
"Alice, will you please come over here?"
As if I had a choice, my body moved on its own toward him; a smile slowly formed on my lips. "What can I do for you, Sebastian?" that wasn't me talking, more like the person he made me be.
He held his hand out to me. "Sit with me."
I extended my own as he took my hand helping me sit down next to him. Who I was, who I am, trapped behind the song's power. Never to once more be myself. He had broken the mirror, my last chance returning back to my friends. Would they find another way to get me back? Or…had they given up too? I don't know how much time has passed since we came to this world, but it felt like a lifetime.
"You're so quiet, is something wrong?" Sebastian asked as he looked back at me with a worried expression.
Pity. That's what I felt for him when I learned about his predicament, who wouldn't? All that he cared about had died for him one way or another, a sad way to live your life isn't it…He didn't chose is life, though he could have changed it. "I'm fine, just wondering how my friends were doing."
Sebastian stared back at me. "Your…friends?"
I don't blame him for being surprised; sometimes my being would come through, but not all the time. Yes I'm worried sick about them; they're my friends, my family when I decided to stay here. Wouldn't any normal person be worried? "Yes…I hope they're doing alright…"
He laced his hand with mine pulling me closer next to him. "They aren't your friends anymore,"
Lies.
"If they were they would have come for you by now, what kind of friends would leave you like this?"
Y-You're l-lying…they wouldn't abandon me…would they?
"Don't worry about those lowlifes, just stay here with me. I'll won't leave you." He leaned in close, his hot breath felt off my ear.
I can't believe him; they wouldn't abandon me…right? I mean…they don't have much of a reason to…I've caused them so much trouble. I wouldn't blame them if they had given up on me…
"Stay…with me…" Sebastian whispered into my ear.
It was hard to defy him, though his voice came out almost pleading. Was I feeling pity for him again? Or…was it something more again? These feeling came up, wither it was my own or this song's…it brought me toward him. I'm losing my mind, that's it.
"Alice…please…"
Was he waiting for me to respond? Or the damn song? He was obviously bi-polar for a reason, his messed up life brought that to him. Not that I could totally blame him for it, great now I'm repeating things I've already said. Does it really matter though? They're all I think about anyway, the same thing day after day. "Please what Sebastian?"
"Please answer me Alice…the real you…"
Now wasn't that a surprise, he actually wanted me? The real me and not whatever the song brought out? He forgot one thing, I can't, the song is preventing me from doing so.
"Why won't you answer? I know you can, you've been acting so differently when we came here. Alice what happened to you?"
"I don't understand…this is who I am."
"No it isn't, you're too happy; I figured you would be angry with me."
You have no idea how mad I am.
"So then why aren't you if you are?"
"What are you trying to say Sebastian?"
He turned my head so that I would stare back at him. A small, sad smile came on his lips; green eyes bore into turquoise ones. "You think that the song had taken over your body, it didn't. All it was meant for you was to control you for a little while so that you would come with me. When we got here it wore off, yet since then you've been acting different."
…Was…was it really all in my head? I lifted up my hand and moved it. He was right, gosh I'm such an idiot, I let everything that happened get to me. I honestly believed that he was still controlling me. "Why tell me this…I would have kept obeying you if you didn't."
"Because…"
I looked back at him, yet why wasn't I trying to escape and make it back to my friends? I could do that now knowing that I always had control over my body. It was just all in my head from the very beginning.
Sebastian cupped my face with his hands as he gently rubbed my cheek with his thumb. "I want you to love me because you love me. Not because a spell told you to do so."
Were my ears deceiving me? He…he was actually being sincere…but I shouldn't give into him so easily. He took me away from my friends, he ruined my life…Damn why must I be such a good person? "And if I told you I wasn't?"
"Then I would keep trying so that you would love me for me, and not hate me of what I did in the past."
I searched his eyes for any other hidden motive, I couldn't find any. All that he said was true and sincere…What now? Even if I tried I probably wouldn't make it back anyway. The mirror was broken, my only way back to their world. So should I try to make my life here with him? I hate to be alone, and I would hate to see him all alone. I'm…just too nice…
Sebastian stared at me, searching my eyes for the answer to his question.
"…I'll…I'll stay…as if I had any choice…but I don't love you."
A smile came on his lips. "That's all I ask for now, in due time I'll get you to love me back." He leaned closer to me as his lips touched mine.
I sat there letting him kiss me, what else could I do? I was trapped here in this world with him, the only other person here. My friends weren't coming, or they possibly couldn't come. Either way I'm staying with this man before me. My eyes slowly closed as a few tears slipped down my cheek.
'Goodbye…Wonderland.'
