-Lillians pov-

I woke up in a hospital room. Jun was sat next to my bed fast asleep. I looked out the window and the sun was starting to set. I started to see if I could move. Sure enough after who knows how long my limbs were starting to be able to move again. I raised my right arm and just managed to place it on the bedside table. I stretched my fingers and pressed the on button on my phone. The screen flashed up and I only had one message.

"Hi dear,

I'm going to be working late so I don't think I can pick you up, ask your father to when he's awake!

-Mum-"

I swallowed and held back my tears. I tried to move my arm back but I only managed to get it off of the table before it got stuck again.

"Your dad said it's ok for me to look after you" Juns voice came quietly "He thinks I'm a teacher of yours." I felt a tear drip down my cheek "hey, kid." I turned my head slowly and looked at him. "Listen. It's not that he doesn't care about you. Your mum got home and found all of the empty drink bottles. She yelled at him for a good while and then kicked him out. He said he had to walk here and he isn't in the greatest state to walk more than fifteen miles in one night. He said he's staying at a friend's house for the night and he will pick you up in the morning." I closed my eyes. I couldn't believe mum. If she actually cared enough then she would have realised that I actually need her… "Look" Jun said "I get right now you must be angry and upset. But she-"

"I know." I just about said through my tears "she's busy and doesn't have as much time as I'd like her to and I should be patient." I felt the anger I had hidden start bubbling up inside me, "But would it kill her to come and pick up her daughter from hospital?!" I shouted and somehow slammed my fist down on the edge of my phone. It flipped up in the air and then hovered. The screen lit up and Laplace's demon appeared on screen. My phone floated up in front of me and Jun.

"So. We meet again." He said smugly as he levitated my phone around me and Jun "Isn't this a touching reunion! And look Barasuishou is here too!" Jun grabbed Baras body and held it tight "don't worry, I can't get to her body from here… however you might want to get here while the rest are still alive."

"What?" Jun and I looked at each other in shock. The phone moved to a place where we could both see. On screen he held up two struggling dolls, the doll in yellow and the doll in green, by their necks.

"Jun Dessu?"

"Jun! Jun is that you maybe?"

"Jun who are they?" I said but Jun had lost all colour in his face "Jun wha-"

"Meet me in the N-field by tomorrow nightfall or all the dolls bodies… well… all Rozens horses and all Rozens men couldn't put Alice together again" he laughed and disappeared from my phone screen. The phone fell to the bed and switched off.

We stared at the phone willing it to turn on again so someone, anyone could call or text us with some kind of an explanation, something, anything would do! Instead we got…

Nothing.

-Alice's pov-

I could feel the Rosa mysticas redy to eject themselves… soon my body would have nothing left. But if what I had seen was right my body would still be used. One of the walls Bara couldn't see had the images of where the dolls bodies were being kept. There were six bodies and seven dolls. That meant that when I had one Rosa mystica left it would most likely be the bodyless doll and I would let her have this body- I don't really think I'd have a choice anyway. I let go of Bara and wiped the tears off her eyes.

"Listen… this isn't going to be easy but I need you to" I winced and I felt lightning surge around me again "I… I need you to…" I was gasping for air and I fell into Barasuishous arms "I need you… you… run… get to Suigintou or… or…" I reached up to Barasuishous face. I needed something to focus on so I could keep it together a bit longer. "Find Suigintou or Shinku. Hide in their darkness until they wake up" I could feel all my power slipping away, the vines around us died and the images on the walls faded away… "Well hurry up then" I laughed weakly crying from the pain "… go…"

-Barasuishous pov-

She fell limp in my arms and she started to glow a sickly mixture of green and yellow. I lay her down and ran. The vines were dying and falling away so I had a clear run to my darkness. I forced the two darknesses apart and moved mine away. It was only then that I realised that there was light in my darkness. Not from within, but from the outside. There were holes above, below and around me. I stumbled over a couple of large holes and managed to catch glimpses of the outside. I was somewhere in the N-field. Below me I could see a black orb with a black rose growing out of it. I assumed this was Suigintous darkness. I knew I wasn't going to be able to stay in here long. The holes were growing bigger. No matter how inhospitable Suigintou was she was my only hope of survival at the moment. So I dived through the space in between us and landed onto the orb. I banged on the top and the structure reverberated. I started losing my grip and falling.

"Sorry Suigintou" I created a glove of crystals and punched a hole in the side. The structure slowly pulled me in and I found myself looking up at Suigintous disapproving scowl. "Long time no see"

"I never realised you had such a wonderful sense of humour" she said as she picked me by the fabric round my neck. "You have five seconds to tell me why and how you got here or-"

We heard an explosion type noise from outside the orb. Suigintou knelt down and looked out the hole that was rapidly shrinking.

"What the… Suiseiseki…" She sat bolt upright "Suiseiseki and Kanarias Rosa mysticas just left the N-field"

"Then Alice has ejected their Rosa mystica like Souseiseki thought she would"

"Why is Alice doing this?"

"She's unstable and thus her body is ejecting the rosa mystica. Enju wants me to combine with Alice to make her stable and so I can make her more stable."

"You are joking right?" she looked at me with her cold red eyes. She was one of the most cunning of the sisters and she saw right through the lie Enju had given me to say… "Not even Shinku would fall for that." I paused. I looked at her and planned what I was going to say. But it was no use, my mind filled with images of Souseiseki and Alice… I started crying… I hadn't been able to help save Suiseiseki or Kanaria…

I had failed them all.
