I don't know how long I was out, but I came to my senses. Noticing I was still on the ground, my body aching from the fall. I slowly but carefully stood, struggling to stand up straight but I managed to stay upright. I must've been out for a few minutes because it was still light out and no one had found me yet.
I heard a twig snap behind me, making me jump. I slowly turned around to see my attacker approach. "I found you."
Without a second thought, I spun on my heel and started running, ignoring the pain in my ankle. I ran as fast as I could through the trees, ignoring the stinging sensation from cuts on my skin. Not looking back, I kept running until I came to clearing. The sea. I could see the wide horizon of the sea and I had no where else to run. I stopped trying to catch my breath.
I stood at the edge of the cliff which was maybe 50 to 60 feet high. I looked down, but looked back as my attacker had entered the clearing along with Sebastian, Grell and Undertaker on his heel.
"You think your little friends will be able to save you this time?" He snarled at me. He snapped his fingers and two demon hounds appeared. One went after both Grell and the Undertaker and the other went after Sebastian.
I had no other choice. Both reapers and Sebastian were occupied with fending off the demon hounds and the demon was approaching quickly. I turned on my heel and took that leap of faith.
"Alice!" I heard the three men yell.
I was free falling. It felt like forever as I plummeted to the cold sea below. I had no other choice. It was either be killed or worse. I knew from a fall from this height would injure me horribly or kill me. The water would be freezing and impact would nearly kill me I'm sure of it.
In seconds I was plummeted underwater. My body ached from impact, maybe I broke a few bones… it was dark. I couldn't find the surface. My body was numb from the cold, the wind was knocked out of me. Everything started to go dark as my lungs started to burn from lack of oxygen. I couldn't find my way to the surface that was when the world went dark.
~ Sebastian's POV ~
She had jumped. It was all a blur. Time had stopped. We had defeated the demon hounds and I tore that demons head off. He would no longer be able to steal my sweet Alice's soul.
I had jumped off the cliff, to go after Alice. I was worried about her health because I knew of her asthma.
As I entered the frigid water, I swam down to her body, pulling her back to the surface. She was limp as I Swam back to shore.
I pulled her out of the water and laid her down on the sandy shore. She was pale and her lips were blue. I kneeled over her and started to do CPR on her but to nothing was working. I could still hear a faint heartbeat, but it was getting slower and slower by the second. I heard a pair of footsteps approach and I knew who they belonged to but I paid no mind, my focus was on Alice.
"Please come back to me… I'm so sorry…" I whispered in her hair.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up, to see the Undertaker standing beside me. "Butler let me take her. She will be in good hands with me. I promise."
Without hesitation, I carefully stood with Alice in my arms. Looking down at her beautiful face, I gently placed her in Undertakers arms. With that he disappeared in thin air, leaving me with the red grim reaper.
"Bassy… She'll be okay… She's strong." I heard Grell say.
With that I headed back to the manor.
~ Back at the manor ~
When I got back, I was greeted by the young master.
"Sebastian, where is Alice?" He questioned.
I told him how she was being chased by another demon, how she jumped off a cliff and how she is with the Undertaker now.
"Wait what? Is she okay?" He questioned.
I bowed, "I am not certain my lord…"
