Alice? Alice?! Where are you?

[Oz looked around, panicked and very worried, he was sure she was right by him a moment ago.]

'Your sin is your very exsistence.'

[Oz turned his head, trying to fine the source of the voice, but to no avail. Soo he turned around again, this time facing an unknown figure. His eyes widening slightly he had taken a couple of steps back.]

...Alice?

[Taking a couple of step forward, he started to walk towards the figure, hoping that it was in fact Alice.]

Alice, you know not to run off here, you might get lost.

[He smiles slightly, letting a light chuckle pass by his lips, but that soon stopped the moment something slashed at it, causing the body hit the floor. Oz looked on in shock at what he had just witnessed as he finally saw who the body belonged to... Alice.]

Alice?!

[He runs quickly over to her, kneeling down at her side.]

Alice?! Alice?!

[He knelt there, worried about his friend... the one he once called his sun, she had just been shot and he didn't know what to do, he was worried, scared about what would happen if she did die. He soon put his hand to his chest lightly sitting there, he couldn't move, he couldn't do anything, he felt as if he could do what he was always trying and that was to protect Alice. Looking down at the ground tears formed slightly as he looked on.

The voice before mentioned his sin, but... he still didn't know why he was sent there, he gripped his shorts for a moment, did his exsistance mean people get hurt because of it?]

'Your hands are stained with blood and will continue to do so.'

[Oz looked down at his hands as he noticed blood dripping from them, a scythe... Alice's weapon in his hands, covered in blood. He dropped it suddenly, backing away, phyically shaking at the site... was it him that had caused her death? He didn't have much time to really put his thoughts together before falling back over another body lying on the ground.

Looking over, his eyes widen at the site. It was another of his friends, Gilbert, laying dead on the floor and even more blood laid about as Oz scambled, scared, fightened, as blood started to drip from his hands, more than before. Soon the site became unbareable as there were bodies of everyone he knew around the blood as he turned around, seeing a mirror at the other end. Curious to know why it was there, Oz made his way, shaking, fearful, upset about all that was around him. When he reached for it, he saw himself covered in blood from head to toe. Tears rolling down his eyes, hands shakingly made there way to his head as he screamed, his voice echoing throughout the place.]

That girl isn’t really dead.

[Hopefully a voice from a communicator would be enough to jolt Oz out of this painful scene. ]

This is all fake!

Fake?

Its an illusion. Something made up by magic.

That girl…

[Unless she too ran into a duck. ]

… should be perfectly fine.

You mean...Alice is really okay? I... didn't kill her?

You can rest assured that you didn’t.

[Now down to other matters. ]

Do you remember where you were before you had this terrible dream?

Dream?

I... don't remember.

[That was a problem. ]

The way to get out of these nightmares is apparently to destroy the duck whose power is controlling them.

[Evil rubber ducks… It was still so strange. ]

If you have some kind of magic that could do that?

Now you've finally learned the truth..

[A light chuckle]

You're the reason that anyone you've ever cared about will perish. They're never coming back.

You'll have to live with this for the rest of your pathetic little life.

[Icy; she's a helper :/]

You're... right. They died because of me... but... I couldn't help it.

[Let's crush this kid...]

Couldn't help it? You wanted to do this... all that blood.. all that carnage... that power...

It was intoxicating, wasn't it? It felt good being able to slay anyone in your path... don't try to deny it.

I...only killed people who would hurt her, I didn't meant to, I...I don't know any more what I want.

[She really is]

She used you. You got tired of it and finished it once and for all. Now she'll never use you again.

This is what you wanted.

All this was by your hand.

I... I really don't remember her using me.

But... I wouldn't want to kill her... she's my precious Alice... that's what she is... or was.

[Watching herself being murdered again did make something inside of her twist in pain and some tears trickled from her eyes, but this didn't stop her from shouting at her contractor.]

Oz? OZ! What are you doing? I haven't died, you idiot [Not recently anyway.] and the seaweed-head isn't even here!

OZ!

A-Alice? Is that you?

How are you doing that?

Yes it's me! Eh, how am I doing what...?

[Then she notices Oz still looking a the dead Alice.]

That's not me, stupid! I'm not dead!

[She huffs, not liking sitting here while her contractor is in danger.] Where are you?! Just hold still, I'll find you!

You know what?

I...I guess I'm in a town somewhere.

A town? Which one? there are lots of towns on these stupid worlds...

[Her frown depends. She didn't have to be dreaming for her nightmare. This was it. Oz in trouble and her unable to help.]

Leave that stupid dead girl. That isn't me! Not anymore... Come find me. I'm still on the Islands. [She's already walking, looking for places Oz frequently goes to when he's on the island.]
