Ace opened the door, "Ah, so you know... But don't blame me for being an evil demon, I was born that way~"

Alice hands were shaking and she stood in front of Yumi.

He got up and walked circles around us, "Have you been betrayed before~ Dear Alice there is no real harm, I can send them all back to their graves, we can be the only ones left, I can do anything to this world you just have to name it.... You have one chance to fix it, one way to make it better, and if you fail... This pathetic world will be mine.... Think wisely, dear girl, for you have only one chance...."

I grabbed my pocket knife and cut his arm, "Don't lie to her- you know very well you will deceive us all, you're a filthy, dirty, evil creature that deserves to be put into the depths of hell!"

Ace was infuriated by this and grabbed me by the neck, "You insolent child, how DARE you speak to your GOD this way.... Ahahaha!!!!"

Alice shot Ace's arm and grabbed Yumi back setting her by her side. "You dont even look in her direction you got me? now what the hell do you want?" She snapped. Alice looked like she was on the breaking point.

"I want to watch you suffer..." He said.

Alice looked at Yumi out of the corner of her eyes. "Fine...but she stays safe and by my side, and you keep your promises.." Alice stated, keeping the gun raised just in case he made a move for Yumi.

Ace lifted my up with his magical abilities, "I don't understand what you see in her, really... She's just an outcast, no friends or family, a sad-sack, really." He dropped me to the floor.

"You know what?! i see potential in her, a mirror, a younger version of me and i dont want what happened to me to happen to her, I see a broken girl that needs help to put her peices back together, I never had that luxery so im giving it to her so she doesnt have to go through the same hell i lived!" Alice screamed, hugging Yumi tightly and tears streamed from her eyes.

Ace laughed.

I saw him laugh and broke away from Alice, tackling Ace.
"JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE STRONG, DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN BE A BULLY," I yell. "I'm strong too!" I punch him dead in the nose, making him bleed. I began pummeling him outrageously. "DIE MONSTER DIE!"

*1st POV Alice*
I pulled Yumi off of him and held her back. "You shouldnt have to do this." I handed her my gun and looked at her. "I need you to run, if he decides to torture me dont look back, just find a room and lock yourself in it. Shoot anyone who isnt me that comes in okay?" I pleaded.

I latch onto her, "I'm not gonna leave you to this... thing..."

Ace disappeared from rage.

I picked up Yumi. "Were getting out." I say, trying to gather what little courage i had left, I couldn't let her see how scared i was, i had to be strong for her to keep her safe.

"We can get into the car still," I said, "We can probably get out of this country in a few months if we hurry," I say.

I nodded and ran for it, and started the car up

I got in the passenger seat, digging in the glove box. "Pistols, knives, and a remote? It has a note attached- use during emergency." I say.

(I'm going to Petsmart next week to pick up a new hamster X3 He's gonna be white, have any suggestions for a name?)
