This is the end.

Darkness, Luna was greeted by darkness. It seemed that the world had gone black and then she realised, no it wasn't the world, it was because the covers were over her head.

She sighed and pulled them off, before stretching, showing off more of her grey skin then she'd like.

She had somehow managed to find a job at a local restaurant, as she recalled Alice was now working at a vintage clothes shop, after seeing her apartment, Luna came to the conclusion it suited her very well.

The problem with Luna's job was the lights at the back of the kitchen, they were so bright that she hated it, it felt like it was burning her grey skin.

She wondered if Alice was fairing any better at her place of work, it had been 2 weeks since Alice had moved in, Luna was able to keep her apartment, though her and Alice were considering moving into Alice's simply because it was bigger and meant they could keep more money for themselves and not the rent.

As far as Luna was aware, Alice worked at the victorian dress making shop, she was enjoying it and was recently working on a project for a very important person.

Alice was indeed doing such a thing, she was staring at the person happily, as the person stared at their reflection in disgust.

"I hate it!"

Alice blinked owl like at her. "What?"

"I said I hate it! That patter is all wrong!" she shouted her voice raising up so attracted the manager.

"Alice this is the third person you got wrong! I warned you the last time, you're fired!" he yelled at her.

Alice's face suddenly went blank, he pupils dilated to pin pricks in her blue eyes as she stared at the two.

Fired.

Alice blinked.

Fired!

She clutched the needle in her hand so tight it pricked her finger and blood began to trickle down her hand.

"Undo all the stitching, right now! Then pack you're bags and leave!" shouted the manager as he stormed out the room, leaving Alice and the woman.

"Well, are you going to get me out or what?" the woman snapped.

Alice turned to her and glared a tiny bit, it was a strange sight to see on the girl that always smiled.

"Yes, I'm just coming," she hissed as she threaded her needle.

Luna was rushing around, picking up plates and cleaning them, before she cleaned the potatoes and carrots and swept the floor.

As she was rushing around she got a glance through the doors into the main dining area to see Alice sitting at the table, she was looking straight ahead, blood was covering her face, dress, hands and it stained her golden hair.

Luna blinked and quickly ran through the doors to find out what was wrong with her friend, ignoring the shouts and the looks she was given. Her friend matter more to her then that.

"Alice?" she questioned.

Alice looked to the side and smiled at Luna, her gap toothed grin one of her key features.

"What happened?" asked Luna as she gestured to the blood coating Alice's form.

"Oh, I did some sowing."

Luna blinked. "On what?"

"They didn't like my dress."

"What?"

Alice turned to her and stared at her with these slightly scary and disturbed eyes. "They didn't like my dress, so I sowed them to it."

Luna blinked. "You did what?!"

"Fright, what the hell are you doing up here, you need to be at the back!" shouted Luna's boss as he stormed over to her.

"I was just making sure my friend was okay-"

"I don't care, get back to your work, freak, you're lucky I actually let you do this job!" he shouted as he slammed his fist down on the counter.

"Don't be mean to my friend!" Alice shouted as she slammed a pair of scissors into the man's hand.

"Alice!" Luna shouted, shock coating her voice like a high visibility jacket.

"He called you a name!" Alice protested.

Just then one of the guards came running over and knocked Alice to the floor, causing her to cry out in pain when she landed on a fork.

Luna stared at the blood and the tears that leaked out of Alice's eyes.

They had hurt her friend.

The shadows around the restaurant twitched and twisted.

They'd hurt the only person who had accepted her.

The shadows curled up Luna's fingers, her eyes began to grow black, the shadows began to curl out of the them, clawing angrily at the air.

they'd hurt Alice!

Luna screamed in fury as the shadows blasted across the room in solid shards, like a rain storm of black glass. They pierced anyone who got in their way, they stuck in the wall, people's hands, feet, arms, chest and head, before they all melted away into their rightful places and Luna's eyes went back to their odd, mismatched set of green and purple.

She walked over to her friend, ignoring the carnage and distress she'd just caused, as she helped Alice to her feet. "Come on, let's go home," she said as she led Alice towards the door.

Before she walked through, she turned to her boss and made a shadow into a blade and glared at him and his weak pathetic, cowering form.

"Consider this my resignation!" she shouted as she flicked her fingers forward and the shadow blade flew through the air before landing directly in the man's chest, right at his heart.

Luna left and all anyone heard was the light 'ding' of the bell signalling her leaving as she caught up with Alice.

Target stood watching the police as they ran into the restaurant and carted out body after body.

"Holly hell, what the hell happened there?" he muttered as he continued to watch.

"I believe it was the shadows bender," came an aerie voice from behind him.

Conner jumped, before spinning around, his wrist guns aiming right at the boys head.

"Don't move! I have you covered!" he shouted.

The boy rolled his eyes, the blew a bandage out of his eye sight. "Please, you were dead 20 minutes ago if I wanted to kill you."

"Who are you?" asked Conner, most logical question to ask in this situation.

"I'm no one of importance, but for your sake, you can call me Whisper, but do not worry, I already know who you are Conner or would you prefer Target, isn't that what you go by now?"

Target froze on the spot and stared at him.

"Now lower your guns, I'm not here to fight you, I'm here to talk to you," Whisper explained as he walked over to him as Conner slowly, but cautiously lowered his guns.

"About what exactly, because I'm on a tight schedule."

"A team up. I need your help with something. I can do it, but I need somebody to be my cover man and you seemed like the most logical candidate. So what do you say?" asked Whisper as he studied the chaos on the street.

"I'm in!"

"So, you can control shadows?" Alice questioned as they ran down the second alley of the day, rats scurried in all directions to dodge their running feet, water spliced as they raced through the puddles, hardly caring if the water stained the clothes, Alice's dress was ruined anyway from the blood.

"Yes, now will you keep up!" Luna shouted as she turned a corner, coming to an abrupt halt.

Alice came round the corner and bumped into her, causing her to fall to the floor, before she got to her feet and looked over at what Luna was staring at.

It was two men it seemed. One looked very scary, he was wearing a ragged and stitched up shirt, a very disturbing mask was on his face and a noose hung round his neck, but Alice, herself, was more concentrated on the other man, who was much smaller then the walking bean pole, he was also dressed very much like a victorian gentleman.

Luna on the other hand, took no notice what so ever, instead she stared at the man with the noose around his neck, he seemed to be smiling at her, she couldn't see his face like, he was wearing a burlap sack as a mask, but he looked like he was mailing, Luna could just sense it.

"Time to go," muttered Luna as she grabbed Alice and made the shadows envelop them and transport them to a different part of the city.

The two men, the Mad Hatter and the Scarecrow stood in place smiling.

"And that was another good trick," Scarecrow muttered as he tapped his chin in thought.

"Did you see her, dear March Hare? Did you see her, it was Alice!" cried Hatter as he jump dup and down in a merry little circle.

Scarecrow sighed and looked at the floor. "I'm sorry hatter, I was paying attention to the girl with the grey skin. I've been watching her for a while, she seems to be full of surprises, so full of potential is that girl."

"Are we going to find them again?" asked Hatter his voice was timid but edited, he had, after all, found Alice.

"Of course Jervis, in fact, I think they're ready. Let's go and pay them a visit, hmm?"

"Oh yes, yes, yes! Take Alice to Wonderland!" cried Hatter as he chased after the long legged Scarecrow, as he walked into the dark part of the alley, determined to get back to the set of apartments before the two girls.

"Do you know who they were?!" Luna screamed as they ran towards the apartment building.

"Umm, no."

"That was the Scarecrow and the Mad Hatter! Oh god! The Mad Hatter, Alice did he see you?" Luna shouted as she ran inside the hotel, with Alice following her. Both of them never noticed the chemical smell in the air as they raced past the desk, never realising their landlord was behind it, dead on the floor, with a look of pure fear and terror on his face.

"Umm, yes Luna he did," Alice admitted.

"Oh.. hell, we just have to hope they don't know where we live-" Luna was cut off abruptly as she and Alice stared in shock and slight fear, for standing in Alice's apartment was none other then the Scarecrow and the Mad Hatter.

"Hello my dears," the Scarecrow chuckled at their frightened faces. "We have an offer to propose to you."
