Chapter 14: Stay... Or Go?
Alice stood there, quivering when she saw the man holding her heart in his hand. He smiled at her then held out his hand.
"You have two choices my love; Either you stay here with us... Or go. But if you go, you will never get your heart back."
"Please, give me back my heart!" Alice cried then all the boys giggled.
"You will get your heart back, Ecila." Dante said.
"But in order to do that, you must stay her." Freddie said.
"With us." Lewis said then all the boys giggled and smiled at Alice.
"Why me...?"
"Because our master chose you." Vincent said then Alice looked at Marshall. The blond boy smiled then Alice frowned.
"Very well..." She said feeling defeat inside. Marshall smiled then nodded.
"Good. I'm glad you made the right decision. Children... Take Ecila to her room."
Lewis and Vincent grabbed her hands then they took her somewhere. When the three were gone, Marshall held her heart then lightly kissed it.
"I will be gone for a bit. In the mean time... Keep her heart safe." Marshall said then he suddenly vanished. In a castle, Alice was resting in a room. Suddenly Lewis and Jake were going through a closet.
"What dress would you prefer, Ecila?"
Alice looked at the two boys as they held dresses. Alice sighed sadly then stared at the door.
"You seem upset, Ecila..."
"I am upset. How could he do this...?" Alice mumbled then the two boys looked at her worried.
"You know... If you want to know... You could always ask master..." Jake said.
"But he probably won't answer..." Lewis said sadly then he looked at some hair ribbons then he held a white ribbon.
"How about this one?"
"No no no. White will easily get stained, Lewis. Something dark."
The two boys fussed over the outfit Alice should wear then Alice sighed.
If I'm gonna stay here, I'll might as well make it useful.
"Both of you stop."
The pink and green hair boys stopped then looked at her.
"I will get dressed myself... Both of you wait outside..."
The two boys bowed then they left. Alice got dressed then she opened the door and outside then the boys smiled.
"You look stunning!" Jake said with a smile then Alice nodded.
"Take me to see Marshall..."
"Oh, master is gone out for a while. But when he comes back we will take you to him."
"For now, let's go play." Lewis said as he held her hand. Alice blinked then she smiled.
"Sure."
"Yay! Come on! Let's go!" Lewis kept tugging her hand then Jake followed her.
