Chapter 2: Suspicious

"Alice! Please, help me," I heard Tom screaming.

"Where are you?" I screamed back.

Everything was dark, but I had no idea of where I was. I could hear a waterfall somewhere near me. I could feel the water drops in my face. Suddenly, a light appeared. I looked at it and I saw, at the top of the waterfall, Mab and Jason laughing at something below them. I looked at the same direction and saw Tom hanging on a tree branch. He was about to fall on the waterfall.

"Alice," he screamed again looking at me.

"You won't save him," I felt Mab breathing in my ear. "He is going to die and there's nothing you can do."

"Shut up, Mab," I said walking away.

I got to the edge of the water fall. Tom was on the other side. It was impossible to save him. I decided to throw him a rope that out of a sudden appeared in my hand, but when I was about to do it, Tom fell. My heart stopped and I did the most stupid thing I could've done. I jumped into the waterfall after him. I screamed like I never did before.

"Alice, wake up," I was awakened by Tom holding my shoulders. I opened my eyes and saw him with a mixture of worry and relief in his face. I got up and hugged him as hard as I could. Tom hugged me back.

"Hey, calm down. It was just a dream," he said when we broke apart. He was smiling.

"I know, but it was horrible. It is the second time I dream about you," I said.

"Is it that bad to dream about me?" he joked.

"If you are getting killed, yes, it is," I smirked.

"I understand but don't worry. I'm fine and alive. Nobody will kill me," he said.

"You're not invincible. When did you come back?"

"A little after midnight. Dealing with a ghost is not that hard."

"Did the bell ring yet?" I got back to my bed again.

"No, but it is about to. I'll wait for you outside," he left the room.

I changed my clothes and heard the bell. I left my room and found Tom in the hall. We got to the kitchen, where Jason was waiting for us. We sat around the table and started to eat the breakfast, which was delicious as always.

"So, Jason, could you tell me what were you doing in the eastern garden yesterday night?" I asked getting more bacon, trying to sound casual.

"I beg your pardon?" he said choking.

"You heard me very well. What were you doing in the eastern garden? You know it is prohibited to go there at night. It's not safe."

"I didn't go to there. You must have seen a shadow. I never left my room."

"You are a terrible liar. I went to your room. Your bed was empty and I saw you coming from the eastern path with a candle," I smirked.

"You must have dreamed about it. I stayed in my room. Anyway, what in the eastern garden would interest me?" Jason looked at Tom.

"Alice, Jason has no reason to lie. You must have dreamed it," Tom defended his brother.

"Alright, then," I said getting up. "You can eat breakfast without me. I don't want to be related to a liar and to a fool."

I stormed out of the kitchen and left the house. I went to the same hill I went on the picnic with Tom months before. I sat there and watched the morning pass. In the town centre, I could see people coming and going. I felt lonely up there. I still couldn't believe Tom stood up against me. I thought he was going to take me into consideration. But these days, it was like he didn't listen to me when Jason was the matter. When the afternoon came, Tom found me.

"There you are. We've been looking for you since you left. Alice, please come home," he said.

"Who told you I wanted to be found? I just want to be alone," I said coldly not looking at him.

"Are you mad because I believed Jason? He has no reason to lie to me."

"And I do? Do you think I have reasons to lie to you?" I got up.

"No, Alice, but…" he tried to speak.

"You know what? I won't say anything else. You can believe whatever you want to," I interrupted him and left.

I went to my room and locked the door and the windows. I just wanted some time alone. I lay in my bed and started to cry. Tom didn't believe me and I just wanted to help him. He was everything I had, I couldn't risk losing him. I cried until I fell asleep. I woke up with the night fall. Looking out of the window, I saw the stars, which meant I had lost dinner. I was still hungry, so I went to the kitchen anyway.

While I was doing a sandwich, I noticed somebody sneaking out of the house. It was Jason, of course. I decided to follow him, my hunger could wait.

Jason headed to the eastern garden and he was carrying something. I've seen this scene once and it didn't turn out well. Jason went to Bony Lizzie's pit and threw a big black amount of the thing he was carrying.

Of course, he was giving her cakes like Tom did years ago. I got closer to him and cleaned my throat.

"I knew you were up to something. You don't fool me Jason."

"Really? You may know what's going on, but my foolish brother is a moron. He'll never question his own brother," he turned around.

"You have no idea of what you're doing. Mab is just manipulating you."

"She is not. I'm doing this because I want to. You don't know anything about me," he screamed.

"I won't allow you to stay any longer. You'll go away right now. You're not getting close to Tom ever again," I said.

"Who are you to tell me what to do? You are nobody. No one cares about you, Alice," he smirked.

"I don't care of what others think about me and I may be a no one, but I won't let you kill Tom," I stepped closer.

"Then, I'll have to get you off of my way," he whispered and I saw him pulling out a knife. I stepped back. "What now Alice? Are you afraid?"

"Of you? Never!" I raised my fist and punched him.

Jason staggered back, stumbled in a rock and he fell down. I was leaving when he grabbed my leg and I fell down too. He climbed on top of me and put his knife in my neck. I finally feared death. I started to punch him and tried to make him let me go. Out of a sudden, we heard a big scream. Jason got up and left running. I looked at my side and besides my stood a big red cat. The boggart had saved me. I got up and thanked him. Together, we walked back to the house. I was glad somehow, because, at least, I wasn't the only one who didn't like Jason.
