It's cold. Why do I feel cold all of a sudden? Alice opens her eyes to the outside and realizing she was no longer in her room.

" Where am I?" I turn to look around my surroundings trying to understand where I'm at and how I got there the first place? I look to where I was at. It looks like I'm in front of the house but did everything look so dark and foggy but that wasn't it, it felt more sinister.

Alice felt different it was not because of the atmosphere but she was wearing a elegant nightgown she clearly remembered that she was wearing a Dallas Cowboy t-shirt that was a little big on her and basketball shorts when she went to bed.

" Alice?" I turn to see who's calling me and I see it was the one person I didn't expect to see again.

"DAD!!" Alice cried with tears of joy.

I ran like never before to him and hugged him tightly fearing that he would disappear." It's you!? I can't believe it's you!? What are you doing here?"

" Alice what is going on? Where are we?"

" There's no time for explanation we need to leave now!"

" Alice what is going on?" He gives her a confused look trying to figure out what is happening.

But it was too late they found them Alice can feel a cold chill go down her spine." It looks like our livestock is trying to run away from us." It was the brothers but something was off about them; like they felt more murderous and angry.

" Just let me go!"

" You can never leave us, we must devour you." Spoke one of the brothers.

" Let go of your attachment of the human world." Said another.

Alice didn't understand what was going on. Let go of the human world? What do they mean by that?

In what seemed like seconds all she can see was blood but it's not hers but her father's throat was slashed clean open, blood spews everywhere as he falls to the ground Alice runs over to save him.

" Dad! No! I can't lose you too!" As she was trying to stop the bleeding her dad grabs a hold of her. His hold on her was hurting.

" Alice..." Pulls her close to whisper something into her ear.

" Let them devour you." Her father spoke in a sinister tone and looks at her with a crazed smile on his face.

Before she even realized it she was being grabbed by both her arms and her legs by the brothers as they started pulling at her limbs. She was in excruciating pain but it wasn't from just the pulling but she felt like something was trying to claw it's way out inside of her. She looks to sees a hand coming out of her stomach, then the figure comes out half way. It's a girl covered in her blood as she turns to look at Alice. Her face turned pale she was staring back at herself with the same crazed smile as well with sharp fangs like the brothers.

" NOOO!" Waking up in a cold sweet and gasping for air.

She looked around and see that she is still in her room and still wearing her pajamas.

" What kind of fucked up dream was that!?" Alice didn't understand what the dream meant or if it even means anything, but one thing was pretty sure it'll take her a while to even get back to sleep from such a horrible nightmare.

She wasn't the only one having trouble sleeping. Yui couldn't find it in herself to sleep due to everything that is happening. She and Alice where still no close to the answers they wanted.

At that brief moment Yui was finally able to sleep but suddenly she wakes up in the garden that's behind the estate but it looked different it looked like it was more alive.

She hears children laughing Yui turns to look and see the triplets running around playing. They seemed so different from before they act so innocent not at all sadistic as they are now.

Yui continues to survey the area but hears a beautiful voice singing she turns to look where it was coming from. Yui sees a woman sitting at a table by herself away from everyone.

" Are you, are you

Coming to the tree

They strung up a man

They say who murdered three

Strange things did happen here

No stranger would it be

If we met at midnight

In the hanging tree."

Yui steps in closer to get a better look as soon she gets close enough look she gasps.

This woman looks just like Alice but much older could it be her mother? While Yui wasn't paying attention another woman walks past her and goes up to Alice's mother.

" Charlotte."

She looks up at the other woman with disdain in her eyes." Ah Cordelia, what a unpleasant surprise."

" Oh, deary don't be like that I just came by to see how sad and pathetic you look."

" What do you want?" The woman was clearly not in a mood for her.

" Straight to the point I see. Have you thought about my offer?"

" You know my answer, it will remain no." Alice's mom clearly didn't want anything to do with the other woman, she gets up from her seat and begins to walk away.

" Don't you want to keep that human pet of your's a secret?"

The woman stop dead in her tracks.

" Imagine if Karlheinz where to find out about it ? His soon-to-be bride running around with a mortal." As she lets out a short but twisted chuckle knowing she got her.

Yui can clearly see the fear on the woman's face but there was also anger, the other woman starts walking back towards her and was close in her face but was not intimidated.

" So about our deal what do you think?" With a smirk on her face.

" As if I had a choice."

" That's a good girl." Then both women frown and turn to look at Yui starring right back at her with a piercing stare.

" No! You're not real!" As she backs away not only in fear but the pain in her chest came back but it was much more painful than before, she wasn't paying attention she starts to lose her footing she starts to fall but feels a pair of hands holding on to her.

" Pancake wake up."

" Ayato? Where am I?" She realized she was not in her room it seems like she was under ground.

" This is the water way."

Yue didn't even realize where she was at she thought for sure she was still in bed was she sleepwalking? This never happened to her before.

" What are you doing up so late pancake?" Yui couldn't get over how real that dream felt she never felt so scared. She was starting to shack.

" Hey you don't look so good?"

" Ayato..." Yui couldn't hold back her tears she throws herself into his arms and starts crying into his chest.

" Um? It's going to be okay..." Trying to hide the fact that he was blushing as she hugs him tightly.

" Let's get you back to your room." Wrapping his arm around her walking her back to the outside.

What has she done to him? He thought it was a little suspicious seeing her wandering around the estate so he followed her to the waterway but only to see her standing there frightened like she was looking at something or someone.

Yui didn't realize how tired she really was and starts to fall asleep. She tries to stay up but Ayato picks her up in his arms gently. Not much longer Yui couldn't keep her eyes open and eventually falls asleep in his arms.

" You won't be leaving me anytime soon Pancake." He said in a possessive tone. He has no idea what she is doing to him it made his heart flutter he didn't know for sure if he wants this feeling or not.

As carries her out in bridal style and heads back to the manor he looks up and sees his sorry of excuse uncle watching them. Ayato gives him a disgusted look and let's out a low growl and continues his way inside with Yui.

" It has begun." Soon everything will fall into place and he will finally get what rightfully his nobody's going to stop him.
