VIII. Recollections

[3rd Person P.O.V.]

A few minutes had passed since Oz left the room Alice was staying in. Also, at the moment, Alice was still blushing, especially after Oz 'sealed the contract'.

She was a bit glad, not to mention, embarrassed after that happened, but still… the things that Oz told her made her cry once more.

And as she continued to comprehend his words, she slowly recalled everything Oz told her and tried to understand much of it. As much as it pained her to even think of it, she felt that she had to do this in order to fully understand their situation.

[Alice P.O.V.]

My name was Alice. My sister's name is also Alice (but that Revis guy called her the Will of the Abyss). And… I had a mother, named Lacie. And my father, the one who made Lacie pregnant, was Revis.

Therefore, I am a Baskerville.

Me and my twin sister would usually switch bodies and worlds, just to be fair. So, we're actually doing that ever since before?

We were born in the Abyss, but somehow, I managed to get out with a rabbit doll.

My manservant said that he was the doll. He said that I was the one that gave him his name, however, I wasn't the only one who owned him.

My mother owned him first before my sister and I finally inherited the two dolls (yes, two) for ourselves. I named the doll Oz, and I somewhat gave life to him. Well, that's what my manservant said.

And from then on, Oz said that I was harsh on him. How dare he complain?

But, wait! He also said that I still had a nice side, like when I smile at him, or something like that. So, I'm not that mean after all, right?

But soon, the days passed. One day, Jack visited the tower I was staying in. I don't know much about what happened, but Oz said that he, in his rabbit doll form, was used by my twin sister as a messenger to Jack.

Well, I suppose that was the last of my happy moments, because whatever Jack saw in that doll that made his arm get broken off, it made him get even more crazy. Even a bit mad.

More painful events led to big stuff. Oz's B-Rabbit side opened up again, leading to Jack making a contract with him, since Oz's previous contractor already died. With this, Jack used him one more time to impale Glen and his servant, Seaweed Head.

And more events happened, according to manservant, which led to my death and the Tragedy of Sablier.

[3rd Person P.O.V.]

As Oz closed the door, he remained there for a short while, thinking of the memories that were passed on by Jack. He leaned behind her door, confused. He looked up to the ceiling, thinking of all the things he just told Alice.

[Oz P.O.V.]

I was owned by Lacie, back when she was still young. She had two rabbit dolls, both serving as my body. Two bodies and one soul, one might say.

One of my bodies was given to the 'core'. The other one stayed with Lacie.

Then one day, Lacie came back, all grown up, saying that it would be her last time to visit. With that said, she gave away my other body, tossing it in the Abyss. After her death, I fell into a deep slumber.

When I woke up, I was in Alice's hands. When she gave me a name, I was filled with life once again, despite just acting as a spectator.

I knew back then that Alice had been mean to me, but somehow, when she smiles… I feel happier.

There was this time I had been given… a memory shard. White Alice gave it to me.

I was somewhat desperate to give it to Jack. So I did what White Alice asked me to do and in the process, the body I was using had its arm ripped off.

Jack managed to see it, but… he had mixed emotions upon seeing it. At that point, it was hard to tell if he was happy, sad… I didn't know.

But Jack became more mad after that. More obsessed with his beloved Lacie, to the point that he did violent things. He threatened Glen, leading him to order his followers to kill every single citizen of Sablier. He also harmed Gil.

Worst of all… he lied.

[3rd Person P.O.V.]

Oz and Alice's thoughts continued to drift off during that time, deeper, further into the cruel reality they faced in the past. But after that, to them, the past didn't matter much anymore. At this point, they now had different thoughts in their minds, but they all led to the same concept.

"… he's really going to pay for this."

And that's the end of this chapter! I hope you liked it. *remains in the box for once*

Reviews/Comments/Suggestions/Criticisms?

P.S. I might go on a SHORT hiatus, maybe 2-4 days, because I'll be busy with drawing requests, writing the other chapters of this story (Chapter 12-15 for the meantime), and also, writing/rewriting 2 new stories of mine, which were inspired by various PH fanarts.
