Hey guys! I just want to let you know that this story is based off the anime and I did not read the manga and did not know that Jack is evil when I wrote this. Just bare with me here.


Prologue

Ever since the day he met her, Jack Bezarius had made a promise to visit Alice every day. Alice was locked in a tower in Baskerville estate for unknown reasons. Jack asked Glen Baskerville about it once, but he didn't get an answer.

Jack played with the girl every day, and he grew very fond of her. But he started to notice odd things about her. Sometimes her preferences would be totally opposite. The colors she liked, the music she liked, even her personality would change. Sometimes she was like a completely different person.

Jack soon learned the reason. Alice shared a body with a being called the Will of The Abyss. They were two different people, with two different minds, both given the name Alice. They were like sisters.

The Will of The Abyss was able to come up from the it's place and take control of her human body. But she was not as wicked as she was believed to be, like her sister, she was still a little girl. A little girl who was all alone and just wanted someone to play with.

In all honesty, the Will of The Abyss was much gentler and more fragile than her human sister, who was more rough and almost gothic.

Unlike most people who knew of Alice's situation, Jack stood by her. He helped the two to get along better. He embraced the fact that Alice and The Will of The Abyss were linked, and he taught them to do the same. He treated both girls with the same kindness. But still, something about it bothered him, although he didn't know what.

Chapter 1

"Bye Jack!" Alice called as Jack stood holding the door half open. He turned his head and smiled warmly at the girl.

"Bye Alice. I'll see you tomorrow."

Alice smiled back as she stood in the middle of her room. Jack turned and walked out the door, shutting it lightly behind him.

Alice hated when Jack left, because then she was alone. Being alone reminded her of the days before she met Jack. The days when the only company she ever had was Vincent Nightray, who was always so mean to her.

Back then, the only time when Alice was ever really happy was when Vincent's brother, Gilbert, was there. Gil would make Vincent stop bullying her. Gil was nice.

Recently, Jack had warned Vincent to stay away from Alice. Even though Vincent came from nobility and Jack did not. Vincent had made Gil stop coming too. Probably to make Jack feel bad, which he didn't. Alice didn't mind, even though Gil was closer to her age than Jack was. Alice really liked Jack.

She walked over to her bed and plopped down on her white bedspread. She hated the color white. But her sister liked it, and was the one who chose how the room was set up. She, on the other hand, preferred black.

She picked up a chocolate chip cookie that was sitting on a plate on her bed. Which was probably not a great idea, but she didn't care. It wasn't her problem if her sister's white bedspread got stained.

Alice ate the cookie, then looked over at her black cat, Cheshire, who was curled up on the bed. Cheshire hissed and edged away from her.

Why did that cat hate her so much? She kind of liked Cheshire, but he preferred her sister from the Abyss and hated her.

"Cheshire," she whispered.

"Even though I'm the not the one you like, I'm still Alice"

The cat hissed in response.

"Okay, fine. Just for a little while. Stupid cat."

Alice closed her eyes and fell sideways onto the bed. She stayed that way for a moment, not moving. Then she sat up and looked at Cheshire kindly.

"Cheshire, here boy."

The cat stared for a moment, then meowed and strode over to her and jumped onto her lap. Alice stroked his fur gently.

"I'm sorry she doesn't like you. It's not personal, she just doesn't like animals, that's all. Hey you know what? It's my turn to play with Jack tomorrow, so maybe we can have a tea party, does that sound okay to you?"

Cheshire purred happily. and soon fell asleep. Alice gently put him down on the bed and got ready to go to sleep herself.

When tomorrow came, Jack was late. Alice wasn't worried though, It wasn't that unusual for Jack to be late. So she sat on her bed, staring at the door. Today she wore a pretty white dress with laced sleeves and a pattern of roses around the bottom. Cheshire sat in her lap contently.

An hour passed, Jack didn't show up. Then another hour. No sign of Jack. At the end of the long day, Alice was upset.

"Hey." Called a voice in her head.

It was her human sister. They were able to talk to each other like this.

"Maybe Jack didn't come because he knows it's your turn to play with him today."

"No. He wouldn't do that. He's always telling us that he likes us both the same, and that if we had two different bodies he would be friends with both of us."

"That's what he says at least."

"Do you think he doesn't like me?"

"I didn't say that."

"Do you like me?"

There was a small pause. Alice was thinking about how to answer.

"Sure. I mean I don't have much of a choice. But honestly, I think you and I are good for each other. You're nice and I'm...not so nice. We balance each other out, you know?"

"I guess."

"Hey Abby."

The human Alice had nicknamed the Will of The Abyss "Abby" so she would have something to call her, and Abby called her "Alice" since she was their human form. Abby liked her nickname better than "Alice".

"Yeah?"

"Why do you think Jack didn't come?"

"Maybe he's sick." Abby offered.

"Jack, sick? No way. Jack doesn't get sick."

"You really think he's immortal, don't you?"

"Kind of."

They both bursted out laughing. They truly thought that nothing bad could happen to their friend.

"Don't worry, Abby. He'll be back tomorrow with a perfectly good explanation."

"Yeah, you're probably right." said Abby reassured.

But the next day came and went with no sign of Jack. Alice and Abby were both worried now. They made no more jokes about Jack's disappearance. Abby sat on the bed all day with Cheshire in her lap.

Then, at the end of the fourth nerve racking day, Abby was in tears. Cheshire meowed and purred but Abby barely noticed him.

"Abby?" said Alice.

"What?!" Abby sobbed.

"Can I take over now? Please? You've been using our body for the past three hours. I'm bored."

"You're bored?! Jack's missing and you're bored?!"

"He isn't missing! He just didn't come that's all. What are you getting so worked up about?"

"Stop it, Alice! I know you're just trying to make me feel better but it's not working because I know you're worried about him too!"

"I'm not worried I'm just…...uneasy."

"Do you think something happened to him?"

"How should I know?"

"What are we gonna do if something did happen to him?"

"What do you mean 'what are we gonna do'? What can we do? In case you've forgotten, we're still stuck in here."

"So let's fix that." replied Abby.

"What?"

"I'm tired of spending my whole life stuck in this stupid tower not even knowing why we're here! Jack snuck us out once. Why can't we do that ourselves? Besides, I'm worried about him."

"I'm starting to like where you're going with this."

"Alice, let's break out again."

"Okay, but on one condition."

"What's that?" Abby asked a bit nervously.

"I get to control our body when we do the breaking out part."

"Deal."

"Good. Now let's go find Jack."

So the two girls began to plan their escape. It would be hard, and they were unsure as to what would happen to them if they were caught. But they were worried about their friend. He hadn't come back for four days.
