Chapter 5: The Rabbit Finds Her Way.
Gil's POV.
I knew it would be simply wrong and cruel to just stand here and watch Alice walk away while acting like that, but I needed to set some things straight before I even thought of confronting her. If I didn't at least get a small grasp of what kind of memory she had seen, then my attempt to fix this huge mess would all be in vain.
I sighed, running a hand through my bangs. The way she had described everything with such accurate detail, all those painful words she had said.. it's not impossible that Alice had been dragged into a memory of her own death. A shiver was sent down my spine as the horrible truth crept up on me, slowly absorbing me into the true horror and pain she was facing.
She was completely right; I had never seen someone die, but I know if I had, I'd without a doubt have a complete break down. If I had to watch MYSELF die, I'd probably need to get a tight hold on sanity before I dared speak to anyone, which is what Alice might be doing.
She's facing this alone.
Those 4 words suddenly ran through my head. Alice, the blood-stained black rabbit who had been alone for so long in the Abyss, the one who's now walking away from me, dealing with something like this kind of horror all by herself. Does she think that this is right, that she needs to face something like this alone? I shook off that thought. Right now, it doesn't matter to me what Alice THINKS is right, I know for a fact what I need to do.
I quickly ran after her.
I was much taller then her, and obviously quicker, so I knew it wouldn't be long before I caught up to her, and I was right. After a minute or so passed I heard sobbing. It wasn't just the kind of cries you hear when you stub your toe, it was the kind that can make your own heart thump loudly, and feel almost immediate pity and sorrow for whoever's voice that cry belongs to.
I ran a few more feet before I spotted Alice kneeling on the ground. Her hands were covering her eyes, and were most likely also a failed attempt to cover her tears. Her face was flustered from the tears, although she was faced at a diagonal angle, so I couldn't see all of her. Her hair was sprawled on the bright green grass. She gave no sign that her tears would stop.
In a weird, twisted way, she was almost beautiful.
I didn't call out to her, I was too scared too. Scared that she'd run away again, that she'd cry even more. Instead, I bent down behind her, and gingerly wrapped my arms around her petite body. She was warm.
I pulled her close to me, and carefully rested my head against her back. I had a feeling that this wouldn't last very long, and soon she'd snap back in her personality and kick me away or call me a seaweed head and make me swear never to touch her again. Instead, I noticed her cries become slightly lighter as she adjusted to my touch.
I noticed her trying to turn her head back while she lightly whispered "W-who.. Gil..?" her voice slightly breaking in her words. I held her just a tad bit tighter, not wanting to lose this girl I had in my arms.
"Alice.. I know we've never been on the best terms. I know I've mistreated you for quite a long time now, but I never knew it would have this affect on you.." I began. I knew I couldn't take a break now, or what I said would be misinterpreted. "I also know that.. you've seen something terrifying, something traumatizing. A memory that was best forgotten." She stiffened a little bit under bringing that up. "But realize this, Alice, don't run away from these problems anymore!" I gently snapped at her. I removed my arms from her waist and turned her around to face me. "You don't need to hide these kind of things from me, from Oz, from anyone! Don't you get it you stupid rabbit, you're not alone anymore!" I shouted at her. Her eyes widened even more, and she began to tremble a bit under my touch. I bit my lip, hoping I wasn't too harsh on the child. She bent her head down, then asked me in a nearly inaudible whisper,
"Gil.. do you really mean that..?"
I smiled lightly, then gently took her chin in my hands and brought her head up to look at me. Her eyes had tears already forming, and the heat was slowly building up on her face as I stared back into her.
"You're never going to be alone again, I promise."
With that, Alice gritted her teeth slightly, as the tears on her eyes built up more, then finally she tackled me into a hug and began to cry even more, soaking my shirt with her tears. I held her tightly against me, wondering how much pain she had to have been hiding for it to get this bad. It didn't matter anymore, because now she was in my arms, letting all of that pain flow out her shining orchid colored eyes. I smiled even more, burying my head into her shoulder and neck, knowing that Alice knew.
I'll never let her feel alone again.
Theree we go. :D And now this extremely short 5 chapter story is finished..xD I guess this story was kinda an advantage to test out this writer I'm using (Somehow I got installed on here, which creates document files that are the most recommended on fanfiction, :33) & to test out my writing as well. Now I know what mistakes I'm making, what I should look for, etc. Thanks again to everyone who took time to read and review this story! It really means a lot to me since, like I said, this is my first real chapter story on this website. I might be doing more pairings for this anime, and I'm definitely (when I get the chance) gonna try to write some Amuto fanfictions (Sorry, but for that anime I only write and live for Amuto & Rimahiko. Admit it you Amuto fans, most of you would never have made it past episode 5 of Shugo Chara if Ikuto wasn't in it.)
I really hoped anyone who read this enjoyed this story. I noticed I made quite a few errors in my chapters (sometimes I'd type like "me" instead of "my" and I wouldn't catch it cuz autocorrect thinks I meant to type that when I'm really like "D: nooo ;_;")
LOOL long ending Author's Note. xDD Sorry. ;A;
Please R&R! C:
