So, after the Innocence chapter, I will hopefully get back on schedule this summer so I can finish this story this year. But for now, the new chapter called "Steal"

Summary: While trying to figure out where Alice came from, Pizza Steve meets a man named Hal and they soon became friends. But however, while Pizza Steve is ordered by Alice to rob a jewelry store, he comes across Hal doing the same as well. Once he figures out what's going on, Pizza Steve realizes that Hal's life is in total danger…

WARNING: THIS CHAPTER INCLUDES VIOLENCE, GORE, AND LANGUAGE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Enjoy, for now :D!

"Lying, stealing, and cheating are commonplace." — Joseph B. Wirthlin

Chapter Five: Steal

"La la la la la la! You can't catch me, na na na!"

Those words…

"La la la la la la! You can't catch me, na na na!"

Those words just kept on repeating…and I just can't get enough sleep…

All night, I kept waking up to the visions I had the other night. I just can't figure out what they meant. Whenever I try to sleep, the more these dreams will try to haunt me. Somehow, these visions may be connected to Alice, but I just don't know what they mean.

However, the other night, I saw a news report of a burning school and apparently, only some children and adults were killed in it. But however, when Alice broke the TV, she told me something about it.

"Oops! Nobody's supposed to know that!"

What did she meant by that? I guess that news report is somehow related to Alice, but I don't know how it can be true. Maybe that vision with the menacing figure in the fire. Maybe that could be Alice. But for now, I have to try and rest for tomorrow. Besides, it's only 1:00 in the morning…

I woke up early the next day at 7:00 and went to meet up with the gang. When I walked by, I see Mr. Gus putting the finishing touches on the RV.

"Hey MG!" I said with my true personality. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Just fixing the RV after last week's fiasco!" Mr. Gus sighed about what happened.

"Yeah, but I'm sure it will be alright, man!"

"You know what I don't get." Mr. Gus said. "You've been acting strange lately for the past month. Are you sure you're alright, little guy?"

I planned to make an excuse. "Alright!? Nah! Pizza Steve is 100% cool! I'm totally fine!"

"Are you sure, because the other night, I heard you and Riley talking about something in your journal."

Spit! If Mr. Gus discovers something about that journal, I'm toasted! "Um, I'm pretty sure we were talking about how cool I am!"

Mr. Gus then sighed. "Alright."

I then left him behind as I sighed in relief. If anyone else knows about what's going on, then I'll really be in big trouble…

After breakfast with the others, I then walked outside of town to find the school that I've discovered the other night. It was called Abraham Lincoln Elementary School. I wanted to know more about the school and why Alice didn't want me to know about it. I brought my laptop with me as I entered the nearby coffee shop.

I brought myself a medium-sized latte and sat from one of the cushion seats by myself. Once I started typing the name of the school, the result started to shock me.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN SCHOOL BURNED DOWN

15 ADULTS AND 20 CHILDREN KILLED IN MYSTERIOUS FIRE

My eyes widened in curiosity. This was the exact same words from the other night. I had to keep figuring out what happened to the school But once I was about to click on the news post, a voice was heard.

"Is this seat taken?"

I looked up to see a light-skinned guy with brown spiky hair. He wore a white jacket over an open back jacket. He also work blue jeans, black sneakers, and carried a large cup of coffee.

I then closed the tab page on my laptop as I responded. "N-no. The seat's not taken." I stuttered.

"Alright then." The guy sit down on the side of the seat as I took a sip of my latte. The researching would have to wait.

"So um, what's your name?"

"My names Hal McCalister. Yours?"

"Pizza Steve."

"Oh! You mean Uncle Grandpa's friend?"

"That's me!" I said proudly.

"Well then! Nice to meet ya! My family and I love Uncle Grandpa, especially my son Timmy!"

"Really? Well then," I took out a picture of me and Uncle Grandpa and wrote down something on a pen. I then gave it to Hal. "Give this to your son when you come back home! Tell him that Uncle Grandpa and his awesome friend Pizza Steve send it to him!"

"Thanks!" Hal smiled. "My son I going to love this!"

"So Hal," I continued. "You hang out here often?"

"Yeah. I use to hand out with my friends when were at work. And also, I come here alone as well when I want to clear my head off of things."

"Okay. Where do you work at?"

Oddly, Hal started to lightly stutter. "Oh, I work at a jewelry store, nothing important or anything!"

"Hey, are you okay, Hal?" I said.

"Uh, yeah! I'm fine!" Hall stuttered again.

Something doesn't feel right… "Well, it was nice meeting you, Hal! Who knows, maybe one day we would meet each other again."

"Yeah, I hope so. See ya then!"

"Alright!" After finishing our drinks, we both left the coffee shop to our separate ways. But there was something off about Hal for a second ago. He felt a little scared when I was wondering where he was working at. I hope that he's alright. Whatever it was, feels like a mystery to me…

Later on, the skies were slowly turning dark and I was in my room, trying to search more about the school. Every time I type up the name, I would always get some computer interruptions like power offs and pop-up ads. This may have been Alice's work, but I haven't seen her lately ever since the incident with Riley's parents. And I didn't forgave her when she killed off Riley. After all of the hell she'd been through, I hoped that Riley would finally get the peace that she deserves, but no. Alice had to kill her off like the horrid sadist that she is…

But speaking of that, I wondered if the school had a connection with Alice, but nothing has been revealed yet, and I am still searching for answers. I had enough of this and typed the name of the school one more time until, I heard a familiar voice.

"What's up, home slice!?"

I slowly turned around in fear to see none other than Alice herself, grinning madly at me.

"A-Alice!?" I screamed.

"That's right, Steve-O! The bitch is back! Did you really miss me!?" Alice said smiling.

I then throw a coffee mug at her, making her growl in anger. I then got out of my seat and glared at her. "Miss you!? I freakin' hated you!? Why the duck are you back!?"

Alice then gave out her signature laugh. "What did you expect from me!? A ducking birthday present!? I came here to give you another task, Pizza Steve! One that doesn't involve killing!"

"What is it?"

Alice snickered. "To rob the jewelry store downtown, silly!"

My eyes widened in pure shock. I then remembered what Hal said back at the coffee shop…

"Oh, I work at a jewelry store, nothing important or anything!"

"Yep! It's going to be a great idea! I heard that your new friend Hal works there. Hmm! I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes that someone robbed the store that he was supposed to protect! And sooner or later, he might get fire from his job! Ahahahaha!" Alice laughed.

"SHUT UP! JUST DUCKING SHUT UP!" I screamed. "I can't let you do this to me! I can't let you ruin Hal's job! I won't let you do this me! I won't!"

Suddenly, I was swatted by Alice hand and crashed from the door into the hallways. Alice then appeared and pounced at me where I could see her terrifying face of anger being hidden from her grin.

She then yelled at me. "YOU MUST DUCKING DO IT, YOU SPITHEAD! And if you don't do it, you WILL kill Hal!"

I then thought for a moment as I sighed with acceptance. "Fine…I'll do it."

"Hooray!" Alice cheered. "Well then, the time has come, Pizza Steve! It's only twelve o'clock and now, your mission will be completed! And away we go!"

From a flash of white light, I was instantly teleported outside of the street. When I turn around, I looked at the sign of the store that says Walgreen's Jewelry Store. I then realized that I'm wearing those kind of outfits that robbers wear and holding a sack of some equipment with me. Suddenly, I heard Alice's voice calling me.

This is the place, Steve-O! Your job is to take as many jewels as you can to fit the sack! And don't worry about the video cameras! I used my magic to wipe them out, but they'll come back by morning! Good luck you happy bastard!

I then sighed. "Alright, let's do this…"

I then took out a grappling hook and aimed it at the side of the roof. I was dragged up into the air as I landed on the roof. I took out a laser pen and zapped a circle on the floor that could fit me. I immediately grabbed the circle as I gently placed it on the floor. Then, I took out some rope and tied it to a nearby pole. Finally, I went inside from the rope.

Once I was inside the store, I pulled out a spray can and sprayed it all over the room. Just as I thought, no laser beams at all. I then looked at all off the jewelry in the room. Do I really want to do this? Doing this that could jeopardize someone's job? And that someone is Hal. I then sighed as I carefully took the jewels out of the glass containers. Suddenly, I heard a bang.

BANG!

I turned around to see who was responsible for it until I see someone in black. Once he turned around and saw me, I was speechless. But however, he then escaped the store by breaking out from the windows, and this somehow set the alarm.

BEEP! BEEP!

But before I could do anything else, I was immediately transported back into my room.

"W-what?" I spoke up.

Just then, Alice appeared, smiling widely. "Didn't catch any jewels yet, huh? I was able to teleport you back before the cops could catch ya!"

"Like I would ever ducking thank you." I muttered.

"But however, you still didn't catch any jewels, yet you ducking a-hole!' Alice growled. "Tomorrow night, you will do it again and you WILL capture those jewels!"

"Fine, I'll do it tomorrow then."

"Splendid!" Alice smiled. "Until then, you happy bastard!"

Once Alice went back inside me, I put on my pajamas and went to bed. Who was that mysterious man? And why does his eyes look familiar? That would have to be answered later once I closed my eyes and the world went to black…

The next day, I woke up from bed to see that the time was 7:00. I then went to greet with the others and had cereal for breakfast. Suddenly, I looked at the TV to see a familiar news report.

Last night, Walgreen's Jewelry Story has been nearly robbed when we discover one of the windows being shattered and a hole on the roof. But however, even though the jewels were taken out of the containers, they weren't stolen. More info up next.

I couldn't believe this. I nearly robbed a jewelry store, and then someone else tried to rob it too. Whoever that person was will be a mystery to me.

"Gee, I wonder who it was." Uncle Grandpa said.

"I can't believe that store didn't have any laser sensors." Mr. Gus said. "I mean, the store could be in total danger."

I finished eating my cereal and told the others that I'm going outside for a bit. When I walked out, I felt a little hungry. So since a have some money left, I've decided to visit the coffee shop again to buy a coffee cake with a latte.

When I brought my meal I sat at the same area from yesterday, thinking about last night. I wanted to know who that guy was, or maybe I'm getting a head of myself. But right now, I wanted to get back to figuring out where Alice came from. Just then, someone came up to me as it was none other than Hal.

"Hey, Pizza Steve!" He said smiling.

I smiled back. "Hey. What's up?"

"Oh not that much. I was just waiting to get some coffee from my friends back at work."

I then decided to get into play. "Hey Hal? Did you saw the news report about the jewelry store being robbed last night?"

"Y-yeah!" He stuttered. "It was a shame that I was off that night. Otherwise, I would have caught him, myself."

"I wanted to know who that guy was. I mean, who knows what that guy could do next."

"Um, Pizza Steve," Hal stuttered again. "Sometimes it's b-best not to know who that guy is. I mean, you have to be careful. A-am I right?"

There he was again. He just kept stuttering about something. I then knew that it was time to go. I finished eating my coffee cake and latte as I got up from my seat. "So, I'll see ya then Hal."

"O-okay!" He smiled.

I then left the shop in silence. What was he hiding?

Later that night, I was on my laptop trying to type up the school name again, but no avail. I knew that this was Alice's tricks as I planned to make her show herself, but decided not to. Instead, I searched up more about the attempted robbery, until I heard a voice…

NA-NA-NA! NA-NA-NA!

I screamed in agony as the noise disappeared through my ears. It must be the same visions from before, but only louder. When I closed my laptop, I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Stevie!"

I turned to see Alice with her signature smile. I then sighed. "What do you ducking want now, Alice?"

Alice snickered. "Well, since you failed your mission the last time, you'll have to do it again! But this time—"

I was magically transported to another side of the town. As I looked at another store entitled. Quincy's Gold and Jewelry Store.

Alice then floated up beside me as she continued. "Another jewelry store! Yay!"

"Alright." I said in sorrow. "So where's my equipment?"

"Right here, silly!"

Suddenly, I was wearing the same outfit along with the same sack and equipment. "And don't worry about the cameras and sensor beams! I got that handled already! Good luck, you ducking douchebag!"

When Alice disappeared, it was time for my plan to go into action. So I did the same thing from yesterday until I got in. But however, I discovered some footsteps behind me. I took out a flashlight and shined at the one who was behind me, until I saw…him…

Everything felt like it was all crashing down, when the person was actually Hal wearing the same clothing I had. He too was shocked to see me as well. Everything went to silence until Hal spoke up.

"P-Pizza Steve?"

"H…H…Hal…?"

Hal didn't know what to do as he throw his gun into the window and the alarm went off. I didn't know what to do until Hal ran off into the front door.

"Hal!" I shouted.

"I'm sorry, Pizza Steve!" he shouted back.

Once Hal left the building, bright light was flashing into me. When I opened my eyes, I was back at my room where Alice was at.

"Wow!" Alice cheered. "What a stunning performance! I can't believe Hal would do something like that! Especially without his family knowing about this! Ahahahahaha!"

I stared into space for a few seconds as I fell on my bed.

Why? Why would Hal do this to me? I thought that he would never the store he was robbing, but he did. Alice then came close to me.

"Aw! What's wrong, dipspit!?" She said smiling. "Feeling bad that you're friend betrayed you!?"

"Duck off. I don't want to see you for the rest of the night." I said grimly.

"Pfft! Okay then, ya ducking bastard! Nighty night!"

Alice then went back inside me as I sighed. I put on my pajamas and went to bed. As I closed my eyes, I had to say one question to this.

Why…?

The next day, I didn't felt like getting up, but since the alarm clock kept beeping, I had to wake up. I then greeted the others as Uncle Grandpa walked up to me.

"Hey, Pizza Steve!" Uncle Grandpa said. "This letter is for you!"

"Thanks, UG." I said.

"No prob!"

As Uncle Grandpa left, I sat on the dining seat and read the letter. But once I read it, my eyes widened in pure shock.

Dear Pizza Steve,

I am truly sorry about what happened last night. Meet me at the park on the top of the hill at 7:00, during the sunset. I will explain everything to you. I promise.

Hal McCalister

I then kept the letter with me. I knew where I have to go tonight…

At exactly 7:00, I went to the park were the sun was slowly setting. I then went to the hill when I encountered Hal, sitting on the tree while looking at the sky. He then looked at me with a weak smile. "Oh. Thank god it's you. Just where I want you to meet me."

"Okay, Hal," I began. "I want to know the truth. The entire truth!"

He then frowned. "What about the truth?"

"Why do you keep trying to steal from the store you work in!? As a matter of fact, the other stores! You have a family, a job, a life! Why risk it all!?"

Hal then sighed as he began. "It's not only for me, Steve…"

I raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"…It was for a gang of thieves."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Thieves?" I repeated.

"Yes. I work for those people so I could help them get what they want. And if I give them what I want, then they'll give me what I want. Money."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You see, Pizza Steve, ever since I worked at that jewelry store, they'll always give me short money on pay days. I had to find a way to get extra money until I encountered the mob gang by the peer. And since I've discovered them, they were going to kill me at first, but I convinced them to let me work for them. They agreed and gave me the deal. If I could help them steal what they want, then they could help me get extra cash so my wife and son could be happy. But now that I messed up, they told me that I don't give them what they want this time, then they will threaten to kill my family."

"So that's why you did this. Just because you wanted to get some extra cash." I responded.

"Sadly yes. And now that tonight is the deadline, I don't know what to do." He then went on his knees and cried. "Julia, Timmy! I'm so sorry!"

I walked up to Hal and comforted him. "Look. Everything's going to be okay. I'm going to help you save your family."

He then looked up at me with tears in his eyes. "Y-you will?"

"Of course." I nodded.

Hal gave out a weak smile. "Thank you, Pizza Steve!"

And for the rest of the hour, we just watched the skies turning dark…

It was decided that Hal and I will form a plan. We plan to steal the jewels for the mafia so that way they would not kill Hal's family. I could only hope that nothing would be ruined. And hopefully, Alice won't be able to ruin our chances.

At 11:00, I sneaked out of the RV, and walked a few blocks on the neighborhood. Finally, I spotted a black SUV being parked by, with Hal on the driver's seat. He then spotted me as I went inside the car and sat next to him.

"Good, you're here." He said.

"So, you have the stuff?" I said to him.

"I already did." Hal smiled. "I was able to steal the jewels from another store. So once we give the jewels to them, they will remain peacefully and me and my family will be safe."

"And, you'll retire then?"

Hal sighed. "I hope so."

"Then we have no time left. Let's go to the peer."

"Right."

And with that we drove off to find the peer. During this, I looked at the clear skies and wondered to myself. How can I save Hal? But if I don't save him, I'll never have a chance to save one of the people I've encountered ever again…

Once we arrived at the peer, we got out of the car and took the jewels with us. Once we got into the entrance, Hal gave me a black case.

"Take this with you." He said. "In case something bad happens."

I nodded as I opened the case in pure shock. It was a perfectly-crafted sniper gun. "Y-you're giving this to me? Why?"

"In order to make sure that if they try to attack me, you'll have to cover for me at the roof. Got that?"

"Got it. I'll be watching you. Good luck."

Once Hal got inside, I immediately grabbed my gun and climbed up to the roof. One I got there, I see a window on the floor and carefully took a pear. I see Hal entering a room with a few of the thieves while their leader was sitting on a black computer chair. When Hal came up to him, he smoked his cigar.

"McCalister." He began. "Do you have what we wanted?"

"Y-yes sir." Hal secretly shivered.

"Good. I'm glad that you've been doing your job very well this time. Perhaps, we should give your reward to you, eh?"

Another man appeared and opened a black case full of money. "You can have the money, McCalister. But before you do that, take this."

He gave Hal a phone as he raised an eyebrow. "What's this for?"

"As I can explain, we can let you speak with your wife for one more time. If you like."

"O-okay. Just give me a moment."

'You know we don't have all day, eh?"

Hal then went outside the building as he picked up the phone and dialed up the numbers as I watched in complete silence. "H-hello?"

"Honey, is that you?"

"Yeah, how's Timmy?"

"He's been sleeping a while ago. How's work so far?"

Hal then shed a tear as he smiled. "I-I'm good, Julia."

"Well, come back early in the morning so I can make you a nice breakfast, okay Hal?"

"Y-yeah, sure!"

"I love you, Hal. See you then."

"I-I love you too."

Once Hall picked up the phone, he then went back inside with the case. So finally, Hal can give the thieves what he wants so that way, he can be in peace with his family again. But once I got back to the window, I felt a sudden vision.

"W-why must this happen to me!?"

Was that Hal's voice? I hope it wasn't. Then again, I had to make sure nothing gets cocky during this. I watched as Hal returned inside to meet up with the leader.

"So, are you ready to give us what we want, eh?"

"Of course, sir!" Hal said.

"Okay then. Give me the case."

Once Hal gave him the case, I was hoping that everything would be alright, until…

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, EH!?"

My eyes widened as I looked what Hal actually gave him. A case full of poker cards. No. Hal didn't really gave him that, did he? He told me that he was able to get the jewels from the other store. So how did he gave him the wrong chest!? I watched in horror as Hal was punched by the leader and fell on the floor. The leader then growled.

"So, you give a ducking pair of bunny slippers. What the duck were you thinking!?"

"No! Sir, please! I'm sure I gave you the right case! I swear that I didn't bring another one—" Hal defended.

"Bullspit!" The leader interrupted him. "I am sick and tired of your foolish games! This ends now!"

"No! Please!" Hal tried to fight back but two men hold him back.

The leader then pulled out his phone and called his men. "It's me! Do it now or else!" When he was done, he hold the phone up for all to hear, until we heard a loud boom from the speaker as the phone hanged up. I was in total fear as Hal broke the silence.

"W-what was t-t-that?" He said.

The leader chuckled. "We've actually set a bomb at your house, so that way your family will go out with a bang!"

Hal then sobbed loudly as he fell on the floor. "Why!?" He screamed. "Why must this happen to me!?"

The gang then laughed at him as I shedded tears. I can't believe this happened. Why could I just shot the leader's phone from killing Hal's family!? But now, I didn't realized what was happening until now.

Suddenly, the leader pulled out a gun and aimed it at Hal. "I guess, you will have to suffer the consequences of not getting the job. Farewell, McCalister."

But before Hal, could accept his fate, I aimed my gun at the leader's and pulled the trigger.

BANG!

I then crashed the window as I landed safely next to Hal.

"Pizza Steve!?" Hal said.

"I've come to save you, Hal!" I said.

"I knew it!" The leader screamed. "So you were planning to spy on us the entire time, eh!? GET THEM!'

I grabbed a gun from the floor as I gave it to Hal. We then started to shoot at the thieves as a shootout started to happen. One by one, bullet by bullet. We fought them off until we realized that the leader was the last one. We then quietly tip-toed to search for him until a sound was heard.

BANG!

We turned to see the leader hiding near some boxes. We started to back at him until we ran up to me as I was tackled. I was trying to fight off the leader while he gave out a dark smile. "So you were the one spying on us, eh? Well then." He then got up and aimed his gun at me. "I'll be happy to share this moment with you when you die!" He then gave out a laugh as he slowly pulled his trigger until…

BANG! BANG!

The leader looked at his chest in horror as he fell to the floor and died when I look up and see Hal carrying a gun and fell down on his knees. He then sobbed as I walked up and comforted him.

"Hal." I began. "I'm so sorry…"

He then looked at me with a weak smile. "It's okay, Pizza Steve. It's just that now that my family is gone, I don't know what to do! I swear to god, I know I put the jewels in the case, but who would do this to me like that!?"

"It was me!"

Suddenly, we slowly turned around in horror as I see none other than Alice floating around with her signature smile. "Looking for this, Hal!?"

She took out a back case and opened it to reveal the actual jewels Hal stole. It…tit can't be…

"A…Alice…" Hal spoke up.

SLICE!

My eyes widened as I see Hal being stabbed by one of Alice's nails as fell in pain. I then ran up to him, screaming. "HAL!"

Once I encountered him, Hal then looked at me with fear. "Pizza Steve…please…" He said weakly. "You must…run now…"

"BUT WHY!? WHY MUST I RUN NOW!?" I screamed again.

"It's…it's because…of Al—"

SLICE! SLICE!

Hal was then stabbed by Alice's nails on his actual forehead as closed his eyes to die. I was so traumatized by what was going on as I remembered him dearly. Of how he was a great man but with a horrible secret. But now that secret was out, he actually died along with his family. I then looked at Alice with rage.

Alice then laughed. "Aw! What's wrong ya little bastard? That your dear friend is gone? Ha! You should have seen the look on his face when he realized that he took the wrong case. But actually, I took the case with some lousy bunny slippers so that way he and his family could die in suffering! Isn't that GREAT!? Ahahahaha!"

I had enough of Alice's rambling as I ran up to her in total rage. "ALICE!"

Once Alice tried to teleport away, I teleported with her as we entered an abandoned building. I grabbed her by her shoulders while she was smiling.

"WHY!? WHY THE DUCK DID YOU DO THIS!?" I screamed. "DID YOU JUST REALIZED WHAT YOU'VE REALLY DONE!? YOU ACTUALLY RUINED HAL'S CHANCES OF BRING BACK WITH HIS FAMILY AND YOU DUCKING RUINED IT!"

Alice then laughed again. "Don't you ducking see!? That poor bastard needed something to go out with a bang! And I did it!"

"But why!? Why do you did this to Hal!?"

"Because, I was the one who did this to him, silly!"

I then stopped for a moment as I stepped back to the floor and said. "…What?"

Alice snickered. "Oh, you're going to love this story! While I was spending time with you, I've encountered a poor ducking bastard named Hal! He wanted to find a way to save more money for his lame-ass family! So guess what!? I ducking helped him!"

"W-who are you!?"

"I'm Alice the Wonder! I'm your special guardian!"

"S-Special guardian? What's that?"

"It's a magical person who wants to help human beings in need and your one of them, Hal! So tonight's your lucky day!"

"Really? Okay then. What do you plan on making me do?"

"That ducking idiot actually fell for it that he actually believed in my lies! I let him join the mafia so he could earn extra money, but didn't realized that I wanted that special kind of jewels too! So you know what I did!? I freakin' let him in danger because of that! And now that he's done for, I can go back to you now! Ahahahaha!"

I couldn't believe it. I actually figured out what Hal meant. Alice actually tricked him into robbery, but killed him and his family instead. Just like the sick, twisted being that she is. I was so full of age that I grabbed a nearby crowbar and ran up to her. "YOU DUCKING BITCH!"

Alice growed out a nail from her finger as we clashed into each other and Alice beat me too it as my crowbar dropped. I was smacked into a wall as I dodged Alice's attack but then tackled her and tried to put her into a chokehold.

"I want to know!" I growled. "I want to DUCKING know!"

"Know what, silly—"

"THE TRUTH! The entire ducking truth! Just give me the truth right now! I want to know about everything! Every single ducking thing!"

Suddenly, I released my hands when my laptop magically appeared before me. Alice snickered. "If you really want to know the truth, then go ahead, asshole!"

I then typed the name of the school on the keyboard as the news article appeared. I clicked on it as I then looked in horror so see what I witnessed before me. I saw a few pictures of the school and the aftermath during the fire. I then moved down and down until I gapsed in horror. It was a picture of a little girl that just looked like the same one from my visions. I stepped back to the floor and stared at the picture emotionlessly.

"Oops!" Alice laughed. "I guess you finally know the picture, huh!?"

I then spoke up. "That girl…is Alice…"

TO BE CONTINUED…

So finally, were going to see where Alice really came from! I'm sorry that this chapter was overall boring and wasn't that thrilling, but the climax is where things will get really real! For now on this story will be raised into an M rating, so if the story is not in the K-T rating category, then search up the M rating category to find it and check out the next chapter! Inner Demon will be coming closer to the end, guys! Until then :D!
