~Alice's P.O.V. ~

"So everyone knows what to do right?!" I asked, twitching with adrenaline and excitement.

"YEP!"

Suddenly we see this red flare in the sky and we all rush to find our beloved Ciel.

With Snake's snakes' awesome sense of smell, we knew he was someone close. Mey-Rin was obviously the first to actually spot them though as we approached Ciel and Lady Sullivan.

"Ciel!"

"Finally,"

"Sorry we took so long!"

"You ok?!"

"Yep, anyway, as planned we move into two groups and escape! Our escape plan starts now!"

Snake, Bard, Ciel and I went one way and Mey-Rin, Finny and Tanaka went the other way. Ciel was dressed in Lady Sullivan's clothes and vice versa. We ran as fast as we could to escape. The rush and adrenaline was too much for me as I laughed as we ran.

"Alice, Shut up!"

"Sorry, this is just really exciting!"

Ciel rolled his eyes at me as we speed up.

"I can feel them coming, says Oscar!"

"LADY!"

We turned our heads to see Wolfram and his team very close behind.

"Shit! Snake, let them dance!"

Snake tapped the ground a couple of times and from the tree tops, thousands of snakes fell on top of the soldiers, biting and strangling them to death.

I high fived Bard as we both smiled at each other.

"That was awesome, your friends are amazing Snake!"

Then Wolfram fired shots at us,

"Halt!"

Bard turned around, returning bullets,

"I-I can't understand what you're saying!"

He turned to Snake and I who were hiding in nearby trees.

"I'll buy you some time, go!"

"Ok, says Oscar!"

Snake and I ran.

We ran faster as we heard a loud BOOM behind us but we didn't stop to see the effects of the marmalade bomb.

More gunshots behind us and I heard Bard shout in pain,

"Run faster! He's catching up!"

Bard yelled as I turned around to see Wolfram approaching. He reminded me of the werewolves. He no longer seemed human.

Snake passed me, as I stopped to confront Wolfram.

"STOP! I don't want to hurt you!"

He didn't listen to me as he aimed a throw to my face but I dodged it neatly. I threw some knives at him but he also dodged them. I blocked his path to Snake as I faced him, one on one.

"Move!"

"NO, I have a job from the Young Master which I intend to carry out! I will not let you get in the way!"

He pounced on me. I threw him off and got into a ready stance. My hand to hand combat was not great but it would buy lots of time for Snake and Ciel.

This time I went on the offensive. I aimed lots of my kicks to his head, chest and the knees to weaken him but clearly, Wolfram was a very good fighter. He dodged them without any thought and hit me hard in the stomach. I spat out blood and he made a run for it. I wasn't going to let him do that. I latched on to his leg and refused to let go. He kicked my head a couple of times but I was desperate. Seeing as he was distracted with me, I grabbed one of my knives and dug it into his thigh but that didn't seem to affect him at all.

He kicked me off and ran after Snake. I spat out more blood but I ran after him. My sight was getting worse but I kept going, regardless that I was running blind.

"SNAKE HE'S COMING!"

I shouted at the top of my lungs as I head a painful shout. I focused my eyes on the source of that noise to see Snake fall to the ground and Ciel flying to the other side.

Wolfram instantly ran to Ciel and help him gently,

"LADY?!"

Then Ciel sat up and put a gun to Wolfram's head.

"Thank you for coming. Here's your tip!"

Then he fired the gun. Wolfram's head snapped back and for a split second, I thought Ciel got him but both he and I were wrong. Wolfram blew a hard blow to Ciel's cheek, knocking him to the ground. He also stomped on his hand to make Ciel release the gun. The gun had grazed the side of Wolfram's head, blood covered Ciel's face and a huge bruise stained Ciel's pale complexion.

"If ONLY…If only you didn't come! The-The LADY would…"

He began to choke Ciel as well as point a gun to his head.

"CIEL!"

Then out of nowhere, some fat German guy blocked the gun with his stubby knife.

"What's this? I didn't realise he had a daughter!"

Then Ciel looked at him with shock,

"Y-You're! Diederich!"

"Who's fault do you think that is?! Also…"

He blocked Wolfram's attack with a knife and yelled in Bard's direction,

"Now! YOU STUBBLE!"

Wolfram took that as if there was back up but Bard had no clue what was going on as Diederich kicked Wolfram hard in the stomach. He shot Wolfram in the wrist and sent a barrage of shots at him as he ran behind a tree.

"Th-Thanks Diederich! But what are you doing here?"

"You ask that too? You laid your hands on something terrible! Like father like son I guess!"

"If you're talking about the poison gas that's already-"

Ciel was cut off when Diederich turned to him with a horrified expression,

"NO! It's not that! In this forest, the army is-"

Diederich stopped mid sentence and threw Ciel to the ground,

"GET DOWN EVERYONE!"

There was this loud sound of something big coming. It was clearly strong and big enough to break thick ass trees in half. Then this buzzing sound followed after the loud rumbling noise and this huge white light filled the sky. Snake knocked me to the ground and held my head down as we cuddle together to escape the loud noise.

I glanced up to see that it was a huge blast of something. Something that I had never seen before and something that would give me nightmares. After the blast had stopped, I looked up to see that a huge section of the forest had been blown to bits, leaving burnt tree stumps and destruction in it's path.

"What the hell was that?!"

I yelled at Diederich,

"That-"

I turned in Ciel's direction to see this huge metal blob with a huge ass cannon attached to the front. It was like a moving castle but wasn't majestic in the least.

"A fucking moving cannon?!"

"Don't be dumbfounded, RUN!"

Diederich helped us run as we tried to escape the sights of the cannon thing.

"That, is the latest model of armoured land vehicle, A panzer!"

"The hell?!"

We all fled like rats as gin shots fired at us.

"Shit! They have soldiers on the outside too!"

I helped Bard by throwing knives at the men and managed to get 2 or 3 off guard, striking them dead centre of their heads.

Bard tried to shoot the Panzer but the bullets bounced off and kept moving as if the attack was a slight tickle.

"Ciel? HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE ALIVE?!"

"I-I don't know! This wasn't part of the plan!"

Diederich yelled something at Ciel but I couldn't hear through all this chaos and fearing that I would be blasted by some cannon on wheels.

Ciel suddenly tripped over as the cannon began to fire. Diederich, Bard and Snake were too far forward and I could get to Ciel in time, but we wouldn't be able to get out of the range of the blast.

I jumped onto Ciel and pushed him behind a tree stump that was out of range of the blast. It was too late for me to stand up and run as the cannon fired. I closed my eyes. This was the end. I was going to die.

I lived an interesting life though. I looked at Ciel who stared at me with huge shocked eyes as I smiled and the blast hurtled towards me. The world seemed to stop for a second as I saw the blinding light approach.

I felt something hit me and I knew that it was over.

I heard shouting and people calling my name but I couldn't respond.

"Jeez, you're so reckless Alice!"

I looked up to see Sebastian's face.

"I'm not dead?!"

"No,"

"Oh God Sebastian…"

"Another one is coming!"

Diederich grabbed Ciel from behind the tree stump as Sebastian helped me up. I brushed myself off as he wiped the blood off my face.

Again we turned to run as Sebastian held Ciel in his arms like some princess as we sprinted in the other direction.

Ciel turned to Bard and Snake,

"Bard, Snake go with Diederich to the railway. Also show Finny and the others where to go with a flare!"

"Yes sir!"

He turned to Diederich and tossed him the case with the Sulin in it.

"Go now!"

"Sebastian, Alice and I will take care of this panzer!"

So everyone else kept running but Sebastian and I stopped and faced the Panzer.

"Wait!"

Diederich seemed to not like the idea of leaving this job to Sebastian and I.

But Bard made sure to assure that we were going to be absolutely fine.

"Our Butler and Maid duo are unstoppable!"

After the others disappeared, Ciel ordered Sebastian to put him down.

"I'm afraid I cant do that. I forgot to bring you an extra pair of shoes and I can't allow you to go bare foot. Besides you like quite petite and fit the image of the green witch so much that you should stay like this."

"SHUT UP!"

"I'm joking!"

"Sebastian this is no time to joke around! We're about to be burnt to ashes by this metal block of destruction!"

"SEBASTIAN, ALICE! THIS IS AN ORDER! DESTROY THAT PANZER!"

"Yes My Lord!"

Machine guns came from the sides of the Panzer as Sebastian and I split up to dodge the bullets. Sebastian jumped toward and with his killer kick he kicked the Panzer, but it didn't do much but leave a small dent.

The foot men appeared and shot at Sebastian but I backed him up by hitting them in the face with some knives.

Sebastian jumped behind a tree and I did the same. I clutched my stomach, I had been shot. It was probably when I dodged the machine guns. Unlike a certain demon, I couldn't dodge things like that so perfectly, after all I was human, I think.

Then I saw a black blur fly passed as I saw Sebastian dash at the infantry. They fired many bullets at him but without dropping a sweat, Sebastian dodged them all without hurting Ciel. I gasped in awe which I usually don't when it comes to Sebastian. I mean I live with the bastard 24/7.

While the infantry were distracted by Sebastian I rushed behind them and slit their throats before even noticing I was there. There were four men left who noticed but I ended their pitiful lives by nailing them between the eyes with my knives.

The other section of infantry was taken care of by Sebastian who used Bard's marmalade bomb. Then Sebastian stood in front of the panzer as it pointed straight at him. Ready to fire and kill them. Just as the cannon fired, Sebastian kicked the cannon and bent it upwards so that the Panzer flipped up but fell back down. He handed Ciel to me and then he jumped up and punched a hole on the top and tore the lid open.

"The Young Master was right. The top is thin and soft."

I saw lots of small lights as gun fires followed. But bullets weren't going to stop him. He caught the bullets with his fingers and teeth without any even hurting him.

He giggled gently,

"You look like some mice stuck in a trap. Trembling so close to each other in a box. Since you all look so pathetic, My Master decided to give you some gifts from a household's chef. By all means enjoy them!"

Then Sebastian jumped back to us as the whole Panzer blew up and burst into flames.

Ciel laughed as we watched the flames flicker and felt the warmth against our skin.

"That was more like a moving oven than a moving weapon. Good riddance."

"I believe you have outdone yourself again Sebastian!"

He chuckled as he looked at me and with his famous smile, smirked at me,

"How could I be the Phantomhive butler, if I couldn't handle some mice in a trap?"

Then I felt this chilling presence behind me as I quickly turned behind me to see two Grim Reapers in the trees. My eyes widened as they saw me spot them,

"Ciel! Look!"

Sebastian and Ciel also turn around to see them.

They seem to talk about something and the smaller kid looking one stared at me with awe as he or she smiled at us and waved. After they disappeared.

"Anyway, we should get back quickly!"

"Yep!"

So we ran to our destination. On the way, close to our destination, we heard a train horn as we knew that it was time to pick up the pace.

Upon arrival, we just saw Wolfram get shot by Hilde who had miraculously survived the Panzer explosion. Sebastian and I crept behind her and I pulled out a knife and dug it into the side of her neck.

"Oh, some of the food escaped from the oven. I guess the fire wasn't hot enough~"

Then I pulled out the knife as she collapsed to the ground dead.

"Now, she's dead!"

We helped Wolfram reunite with his beloved Master. I carried Ciel on my back as Sebastian carried Wolfram onto the moving train.

"L-La-dy…"

Sebastian shushed him,

"Mr Wolfram, a butler isn't allowed to die before their master."

Ciel gave us orders to help out Wolfram's bleeding.

"Sebastian, heat a knife until it becomes red. Alice, get all the cloth and water you can!"

I stood up to get some water when I clutched my stomach. My hand was dark red as my blood trickled off my hand.

"What's wrong Alice?!"

"N-nothing!"

I ran to get water and came back.

"Alice, you're bleeding!"

"It's no big deal, it's just a little graze that's all! Tend to Wolfram's wounds first!"

Sebastian heated Diederich's knife until it was indeed red hot.

"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF! you said yourself that it was your duty as the Green Witch to protect everyone didn't you?! He's the only one left! SO SAVE HIM, WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS!"

Sebastian placed a cloth in his mouth to restrain him from screaming as Lady Sullivan placed the knife on his bleeding wound.

"IF YOU DIE. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"

Wolfram fainted under the pain but the bleeding stopped and he was safe.

"Now Alice your wound!"

"No, I don't need any treatement, just a bandage would be fine."

"Let me see your wound…"

"Fine,"

I showed him my wound, it was small but it was still bleeding. Sebastian cleaned it with a cloth and used one of my knives to get the bullet out. Luckily, it was close to the surface so I only experience little less pain than Wolfram.

Sebastian bandaged it up and kissed it,

"If you continue to be so reckless, you'll scar your soft, lady like skin Alice~"

"SH-SHUT UP!"

I blushed as everyone stared at us weirdly and Ciel sweatdropped.

I sat there next to Sebastian.

"Sebastian, I'm tired. Can I go to sleep for a bit?"

"Very well,"

I lay in his lap and all I could feel was the warmth in his lap as he let me sleep there. He stroked my head a couple times before I blacked out. I felt something deep inside me open up.

I looked up to see a huge golden door, shrouded in darkness. In front was a sign which said,

"Open at your own peril."

But as the stupid, reckless person I was, I opened the door. But there was nothing but a black, never ending void. Then I heard a voice.

"Not yet… The door will reveal what's behind it at the right time…"

Then the door shut close, leaving me in the dark.

"Alice~…..Alice~"

I opened my eyes as Sebastian's face crept forward towards mine.

"We are here. Time to wake up!"

"No…Not yet! I'm still tired!"

I whined as Sebastian chuckled slightly. His chest moving up and down. As I sat up I leaned against his body to help me up. I could feel the very distinctive muscles and I blushed.

"What is it? Alice~"

"Nothing, I'm still tired that's all!"

I looked ahead of us, as I saw the sun rising above the horizon.

"Gorgeous!"

"Indeed…"
