"My dad... The murderer at the old eatery..." I say, "he said to me, 'son, you will follow my footsteps. Except... You'll die too. If you don't do this, I will kill you and your closest friends.' I was scared... And when I learned we were locked in here, it was my opportunity... I'm so sorry... I have to."

Alice relaxed her face. "Can you take this off for a minute..." She asked gesturing and the Chika foot on her. "I wont let that happen and neither will James or Jack... I woint even mentioned that this happened. We can help you." Alice said as she tried to get up but fell back on the floor.

I took it off. "I-im so.. So... Sorry...." I say. I fall to my knees and cry harder.

Alice uses the extra cloth from her sweater and bandages up her leg. She crawled over to Ace and hugged him. "Don't be..." She smiled. "I was like this too you know... when I lost my friends i was alone and I ran away. You have us now.. "She closed her eyes.

I smiled. "Thank you... For forgiving me..." I say, my piercing red eyes staring into hers.

Alice noticed Ace had red eyes and stared back. She bushed and pulled away from the hug. "Ill just say that I fell off the ship and you patched me up." She smiled again and brushed her long wavey blonde hair out of her face.

I nodded, then brushed my long black hair to cover half of my face.
"Can I tell you somethin'? Its something I couldn't tell anyone... Because I couldn't trust 'em..."

Alice tilted her head. "Umm yeah sure." She replied as she brushed his hair out of his face. "Looks better that way."

The covered eye was shut. Then it opened to be nothing but a socket.
"I cover it up, because... I'm embarrassed of it..." I say.

Alice looked at it and didnt freak out she was rather, Interested in it. "It makes you unique." Said as she got up and stumbled a bit.

I blushed a little. "Thanks." I say. "Do you want me to... Umm... Carry you? I'd find it difficult to walk on that...." I offer.

Alice looked down and her hair framed her face. "Well, Umm.. it's not that bad but I just need someone to kinda lean on." Alice said as she grabbed Ace's arm steading herself. "I-If you don't mind." Alice blushed.

"I, uhh... Don't mind at all..." I say, blushing a little more. "A-am I blushing?" I ask with a nervous giggle.

Alice laughed. "Just a little." She paused. "I knew you could change." She said.

"I'm bipolar, what can I say?" I state.
