Awww cats are so cute when they are asleep! :3

Anyway thanks for all the reviews! It really keeps me motivated to keep writing. So thanks! ^.^

Also Gilbert lost to Sebastian Michealis for the Sexiest Men of Anime 2012! Gar! I love Sebby in all but he's won before and Gil's been in the competition for three years now and this is the farthest he's gotten.

Okay, okay I'm keeping you from reading, my apologies.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pandora Hearts (if I did I would be attacked by an angry fangirl!) I just play chess with Vincent.

I stare down at Emily's stitched face as my worry increases with every second. "I think she went this way," says a familiar voice, "ALICE?!" I turn around to see Oz and Gilbert walking down the stairs. They freeze when they see me. "Lucinda?" says Oz. I smile at them and wave, they come rushing up to me. "What are you doing here," Oz continues.

I hold up Emily, "Same as you." Oz's eyes widen, and his eyes dart to the bag of apples on the ground.

Gilbert looks at me in shock and moves towards me staring at my necklace, "You're a member of Pandora!" Oz stares in shock as well.

I nod. "Yep! Break and I came down here but it seems he disappeared," I sigh, "I'm not surprised he has the tendency to do that at times like this."

I notice Oz has a huge smile across his face, "So you were on a date?"

My eyes widen as my face goes completely hot, "No, no, no! It's not like that! We're just friends!"

"I'm surprised you can be friends with that guy," Gilbert mumbles. My eyes narrow, and he backs away a little. Plus Oz's smirk is just making me more embarrassed at the thought. That strange aura comes over me again, and a ringing of alarms is going off in my head. Something is not right here! I sigh as my grip around Emily tightens. I glance at the two boys with a determined look in my eyes, "Come on, the more we waste time the more they're endangered...wherever they are."

I start to walk ahead out of the alleyway when Oz and Gilbert come running after me. "How do you know they're in trouble?" Gilbert asks.

I flash him a bright smile, "Because, Raven, the Abyss told me so." Their eyes widen in disbelief. "We need to talk to Lady Rainsworth," I say changing the subject, "maybe she could be of assistance." Oz's expression becomes serious and he nods agreeing, so does Gilbert.

We arrive at the manor and meet up with Sharon. We all sit down in the drawing room as Oz and Sharon set up the tea set, as Gilbert and I stand beside them. I hold Emily to my chest, throbbing with worry. It bugs me that the bell kept ringing, and I knew whose bell that was! Why didn't I do anything to stop him! And now Break and Alice could be hurt because of him, seeing what he did to me. "Due to this reason," Sharon says bring me back from my thoughts, "Alice and Break are at Cheshire's place now." My eyes widen, Cheshire! I recall Somina calling the Chain "Cheshire".

Gilbert face palms, "That guy! Why does he always make use of everyone around him?!" My eyes drop back down to Emily, I guess he's more similar to me than I thought. Using people to get what you want, I guess we were just using each other after all. A smirk appears from my lips, it just makes him more interesting.

"Sharon," Oz says, "As I remember, Break isn't the kind of person who recklessly enters an enemy's territory, right? He might even plan an escape. Although I don't know the plan, but maybe he's trying to make us want to search for Alice."

Sharon smiles. "You're right," She gets up and places her foot down on what looks like a shadow, "Break's shadow has entered my Chain. If you want to search for Alice..." Suddenly a huge hole surrounded by black shadows opens up, "Then please enter this hole."

Oz smiles and trots towards the hole thanking Sharon, but Gilbert backs away in worry. I rush towards the hole but Gilbert grabs my shoulder holding me back. I stare at the hole, it's my chance to save someone who needs me! I pull myself away from Gilbert's grasp as he talks to Oz. Gilbert is taken aback as I glare coldly at them.

"I don't know about you two but I'm going with or without you. So see you on the other side!" I jump into the hole, spiraling into darkness. But I'm use to the shadows by now.

Soon after I tumble onto the ground, the room looks like a playroom/library. I look around and it reminds me a lot of the Abyss but less dark. Suddenly something crashes on top of me, it's heavy too. I look and I see Oz on top of me as Gilbert lands besides me. So they decided to show up after all! Gilbert wakes up and rubs his head as I blow my bangs out my face. "Gil! Can you please get Oz off of me!" I shout at him. His eyes widen and he does just that. Gilbert wakes Oz and they sit on the ground looking around. I stand up and dust myself off. Both of the guys stand and talk, I hear Sharon's voice also which is strange. But a presence is throwing me off, I can feel something coming...ring…ring...my eyes widen, it's close! I turn around to see the noise but he already shown up. "OZ! GIL! BEHIND YOU!" Suddenly a huge attack strikes the ground where they were, but luckily Gil and Oz moved just in time. Gil shoves Oz behind him and pulls out a gun.

"What?" Gil shouts, "It's coming out so soon?!" The Chain dashes across the wall of books and Gil starts to shoot, but fails to hit the target. Gil curses as the Chain crashes down in front of us making the ground break.

We gaze at the shadow of the Chain. "This guy is..." Oz starts to say.

"Cheshire!" I shout cutting Oz off. The Chain's ears flinch and we see him clearly now as his bell rings.

His red eye glares at us, "The three of you...how did you get in here?" I scowl towards him as Sharon asks where Alice and Break are. I have to say Cheshire's eye looks a lot like Break's, the thought makes me shudder. I still feel bad about yelling at Break about it, mistaking him for the Chain. Cheshire licks his paws, "That red eyed guy was just sucked into the mirror just now. He should be in deep slumber immersing in his past." My heart stops, Break!

Oz steps forward and glares at Cheshire with a serious expression, "Why did you pick on them?!"

Cheshire tilts his head in a questioning manner. "Why," his expression becomes threatening, "But of course the two of them are enemies of The Will of Abyss." The Chain gets up and takes a step towards us, Oz's eyes widen. "I never expect the red eye guy and you are able to get here," his claws extend, "but as long as I kill you the results are the same."

I step in front of them and look back at Oz & Gil. Oz is shaking Gil who is terrified for some reason. "Oz," Oz looks at me, "Go find Alice! I'll hold off the cat and find Break." The Chain dashes towards us and we dodge. Gil and Oz are thrown back as I slide on my feet ready for combat. "SOMINA!" Suddenly Somina appears behind me and growls at Cheshire.

"Yes Master Lucinda," Somina growls. Oz and Gil stare in awe at my Chain.

My eyes narrow, "Sic 'em." A smile appears on his lips, and Somina attacks the Chain. I look back at the two boys, "GO!" They bolt off. I see Somina claw the Chain but Cheshire uses his teleportation and escapes. I silently curse to myself. Somina rushes to my side, I grab onto his fur and pull myself up onto his back. Somina dashes off as I hold on tighter. "Thanks Somina," I tell him. He just smiles and nods. Somina keep running until something catches my eye, I yank on his fur to make him stop. I stare down a hallway and see a figure. A man with long, blond, braided hair and emerald green eyes. Rage surges through me but I don't know why. Do I know him? A memory invades my thoughts and I see the same figure smiling back at me in a rose garden... "Jack", I silently whisper to myself. My old friend...who...who... I shake my head violently, what happened? Why can't I remember? Somina's eyes narrow and he bolts ahead leaving me looking back at the man.

We make it into a room full of mirrors. I stare at my reflection, but all I see is me wearing a red cape and hood. I blink and the cape is gone. "Lucinda!" Somina says. I notice one of the mirrors is cracked, I jump off Somina and rush toward it. Once I get closer I see the reflection and it's Break! He looks so transparent like a ghost. He has long white hair and a bandage wrapped around his eye. I gently touch the glass as he floats around inside. Oh Break what has he done to you? I should have done something to stop this! Tears started to build up and run down my cheek.

Suddenly a strong feeling comes over me and I double over in pain as my head throbs. The ground shakes and everything starts to crumble and break. My eyes widen, the dimension is falling apart! The force of the impact knocks me down and the ceiling starts to collapse. "LUCINDA!" Somina yells.

"I'm okay," I tell him. I hear a cracking sound, I gasp to see the mirrors cracking. The glass explodes shattering everywhere! It flies toward me, but only cuts my cheek a little. Somina rushes towards me and covers me from the impact. Two figures burst from the shattered mirror throwing rubble and gravel everywhere. I scream in terror as Somina tries his best to cover me. Break goes flying and so does Cheshire.

Break lands safely on his feet and notices me. We make eye contact as his red eyes meet my hazel ones. My heart beats a little fast, but I'm glad he's alright.

His eyes widen and he rushes towards me, "Lucinda you're bleeding are you alright?!" He sounds worried for me. He looks at Somina then back to me. I smile as more tears start running down my blood covered cheeks. I nod to say I'm okay. "Why are you here?"

My eyes narrow and I punch him in the arm. "I was looking for you stupid! I was worried sick!"

He looks taken by surprised, "You were worried about me?" I notice Cheshire behind him ready to strike.

"BREAK!" He turns around and hits Cheshire with his cane. Cheshire staggers back.

Break chuckles, "Haha! So I see you still have energy to move around but I still have a lot of time to play with you." He looks back at me and gives me a reassuring smile. Cheshire growls and claws the ground making Break's attention go back to him.

"Cheshire doesn't have time to play house with you!"

Break smirks, "How mean! What's wrong playing with me a little?"

Cheshire snaps and bares his fangs at him, "Cheshire need to kill that blonde hair brat! He's destroying this dimension!" Oz? Oz is doing this!? Break looks serious for a moment, he must be thinking hard about something. Black sharp shadows start to surround us and move towards Break. Cheshire's claws extend and he bolts towards us, "Cheshire stays here because of that girl! For her sake I must kill you all!"

Break gives off a creepy cheerful laugh and jumps high into the air dodging the attack. Cheshire strikes right at my feet, I scurry way from him as he glares at me. But he ignores me and turns his attention towards Break.

"You keep saying it's all 'for that girl'! You're just a cat, yet you keep talking like that rat in the drain!" I sigh...now is not the time to be beating up Vincent! But I notice something about Break and his aura has become murderous. He has the look of a mad man! "I should tell you," He clicks open his cane, "when I hear such irresponsible words like, 'I did this for someone'." He pulls out a shiny blade from his cane as his smile turns serious. "My mood will become extremely bad!" Cheshire's eyes widen in terror as Break comes down and slashes him with his sword.

Cheshire is sliced and broken as he stumbles back and hits the shattered mirror. Both of his arms get cut off and his left leg as it starts to crumble into dust. He slides down until he reaches the floor, still alive but not for long.

Break stumbles and falls to the ground, but I'm there to catch him. He falls into my arms as I stagger to support him. He looks weakened. He gives me a sideways glance and a weak smile.

I let go and he sits on a nearby rock. "So," he starts to say, his voice hoarse, "You're a contractor." I jump back and look at Somina behind me. I give off a faint laugh and rub the back of my neck in a nervous habit.

"Yeah about that...," I start to say but I'm soon cut off my Break's loud horrible cough. He doubles over in pain as he covers his mouth. My heart stops when I notice the bright crimson blood dripping through his fingers. "Break!" I reach out to touch him but he pulls away from me. He finally stops coughing and looks down at his blood stained hands as it drips off his pale fingers.

He sighs, "Ah geez..." And he starts to cough again. "Troublesome, this happening every time I use my power." He coughs again and I look down at my feet knowing I can't do anything to help. I hate feeling helpless! Cheshire moves and starts to hiss. Break finally stops coughing and looks up. His mouth, clothes and hands are covered and dripping in his blood. He looks at the cat, "Hmm it's better if you don't move about. No matter how tough you are, you will still disappear." Cheshire glares up at us with a hateful expression, his red eyes filled with sorrow and hate. He pants heavily. Break smirks and puts his hand under his chin, I feel a very negative force around Break, and Somina starts to growls, the hair along stands up. "You can never beat me," Break starts to say as those black shadows surround him once more, "You know it." The shadows morph into a hat and cape. A Chain! I look closer and I see an eye opening, "Every power related to the Abyss. This Mad Hatter will destroy every single one of them!" That must be his Chain, Mad Hatter. I start to shake from the huge amount of negative energy this Chain impacts. "Because," Break continues, "he is a Chain that exists to kill other Chains." The eye opens to reveal a large blood shot eye. I have to say his Chain suits him.

Cheshire growls, "Cheshire is not afraid." Break smirks and starts to dig in his jacket, pulling out a golden bell wrapped through a bright pink ribbon. It rings gets Cheshire's attention. "This seems to be very important to you," he says, "This is the core that created this dimension." Break looks satisfied and glares at the bell as if it holds great power, "Alice's memories from 100 years ago." I step back, Alice? What does Alice have to do with this! "I'll be keeping them for the meantime." I grab his arm. He stops and looks back at me with a serious/worried expression. "What is it Lucinda?" he asks in a low voice.

I look at the broken Chain. "Are you going to kill the Chain?" I look back to see his surprised expression.

"Why do you ask?" he asks dumbfounded.

My eyes narrow, "Because that's the Chain that dragged me into that hell hole of the Abyss!"

Break jumps back and looks at the Chain which is glaring at me with a murderous expression. Break sighs quietly and gives me a sideways glance as he smiles softly. "I see," he says in a quiet voice. I let go and stand there amazed, right then when he looked at me...he...he looks relieved. Why?

Suddenly Cheshire's scream fills the room in horror, as my blood runs cold. "NEVER!" He screams, "I'LL NEVER LET YOU SEE! ALICE!" He suddenly changes into a huge static looking monster. "ALICE!" And the ground starts to crumble at our feet. What! An earthquake! The ground cracks makings a huge hole at my feet splitting the marble in two. Break grabs onto me and embraces me in a hug. My cheeks flush as he pushes me against his chest and wraps his arm around me.

"You have to be more careful Lucinda," he says sternly as he moves away from another crack.

"Sorry," I say quietly. Somina growls and Break lets go of me. I have a serious expression on my face, "You fight Cheshire and I'll find Oz and the others."

Break gives me an amused smile, "Well isn't Lucy so serious."

"Of course," I kill the mood but I give him a smile, "Just do it you weirdo."

He chuckles, "Yes ma'am!" He dashes towards Cheshire as I jump on Somina's back.

Somina dashes off moving from rock to rock as the dimension crumbles. "We have to find them Somina!"

Somina scowls, "I KNOW THAT LUCINDA!"

I pout, "Why are you so grumpy Somina?"

Somina mumbles to himself, "I don't like that Hatter having his hands all over you." I giggle, Somina seems jealous.

"Eques isn't back yet?!" says a voice up ahead. That sounds like Gil! I see them up ahead.

"SOMINA FASTER I SEE THEM!" Somina bolts from rock to rock until we land on the same rock as them.

Oz and Gil look happy to see me. "Lucinda!" exclaims Oz. I wave on Somina's back. I notice that Alice is with them, I'm glad she's fine.

"Hey guys! I see you found Alice."

"Yeah it was a pain trying to find that stupid rabbit," Gil says coldly. I smile but it quickly fades when the ground crumbles at our feet. Cheshire rises up and shocks us. Somina stumbles back, I hop off as quickly has I can.

"Somina I got this," I say calmly. He nods and disappears.

Break comes zooming in and karate kicks Cheshire in the face, "Such a troublesome cat!" he says. Cheshire goes crashing down and Break lands safely near us. He waves cheerfully, "Hey guys!"

Gil starts yelling at him but I'm not really paying attention, I dodge a rock flying towards me.

I can hear Cheshire say Alice's name in such pain, it's heart wrenching. It brings me back to bad memories and to think I was once like this. Broken and wanting to protect something that I couldn't. Break's words catch my attention, "But he threw that away. Is the Will of Abyss really that important to him?" I softly chuckle to myself at the thought. Cheshire's words echoes through the dimension, making me lose my concentration. The ground splits under me, I quickly jump onto a rock, noticing that Break and the others have been separated. Oz and Gil scream at each other as Break uses his powers from the Mad Hatter to take another blow at Cheshire.

The impact causes a ripple which ends Cheshire's last strength to fight. He starts to crumble into dust. The rock Oz and the other are on breaks, splitting Gil from Oz and Alice. Break goes flying into the air and goes flying into me. Landing right on top of me, man he's heavy! I sigh in frustration, I'm sick of being landed on! Break quickly gets off and kneels down next to me, "Sorry." I smile and brush myself off.

Suddenly a Chain appears, it's a black unicorn with a flaming purple mane.

"EQUES!" Oz yells. The black and purple shadows surround Oz and Alice that looks similar to a portal. "NO! Gil, Break and Lucinda are still over there! WAIT!" Break jumps and panic spreads across his face. What's happening! "EQUES!" Oz and Alice fall through the portal. "Gil! Break! Lucinda!"

They're gone! Break grabs my hand and looks determined. I tighten my grip on his pale hand and I nod approving as we think the same thing.

"GIL!" Break screams, "USE RAVEN TO GET US OUT OF HERE!"

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Got to end there! Leave you hanging!

But anyway I revealed some clues about Lucy's past (don't worry I'll tell you soon) I like to progress in their past thought the story (like Jun does) and show you piece by piece so don't hate! So hoped you liked it! REVIEW!
