Still Doll (Akashi Seijuro Fan Fiction)

07: Doll's POV

AN: Finally, Alice's POV

Like any other day, my body woke up early. It was dark inside Akashi-kun's room, with only the natural light of the moon that seeps through the curtains are visible. I stood up quietly and found my dear master still peacefully asleep on top of his bed. I find him odd for even in his sleep, Akashi-kun looks so elegant. Well, I can't blame him, he is raised as an Akashi.

Since it's my first time to have a POV, I hope you won't mind if I explain myself.

I'm Alice, named by my owner- Akashi Seijuro. I don't know anything about my past and my memories about my former owners are also hazy. I have no details about myself or even the world I'm living in. All that I have is the given responsibility bestowed to me by my creator who's name, face, and personality I don't know about.

That is, to be with the person who owns me whenever they're alone and to revert back to my original form once my owner has someone to accompany them.

I have a very few memory of my past owners. They don't need me much anyways, for they feel more happiness than loneliness. I was made to come to my senses whenever I feel even the slightest tremor of my master's feelings of being isolated, and I always woke up seeing them crying, and are already in my comfort. I only gave them warmth through my hugs and that's all. I never did transform into a human, unlike now.

My senses awoken completely and the next thing that happened is the worst thing I have ever felt in my life. I was awaken by a strong tremor, an extreme feeling of loneliness. I felt blades embedded in my back and it was painful, but what's more painful is, seeing my master with his eyes dead and me unable to give the comfort he needs.

For how many years I laid inside a box, all alone, waiting for someone to own me. I never did mind if I stayed inside a box forever but, that painful vibe of isolation never left the place. It never left my current owner. That's when I decided to act.

I'm now in my human form. I don't really know the perk if I abuse the use of my transformation, but sometimes I feel like it's getting hard to revert back to my doll form. I usually transform to a doll whenever I feel like taking a break, but last night I slept in my human form. If I tell Akashi-kun that I can't transform back into my doll form, then he might suspect that I'm an impostor. I never really wanted to prove it to him, I wanted him to believe.

I opened Akashi's room ever so quietly and went out to go to the laundry room, which is located at the basement. A maid is supposed to deliver his uniform once Akashi asks, but I feel like doing the deed earlier.

Being a human is quite tiresome. I sure do wish Akashi-kun finds someone soon, so that I could go back to being lifeless. I'm really greatful for the life, but I'm not supposed to be alive. It doesn't make sense. I've been reading Akashi-kun's book and me being alive is an occurrence that science could never explain.

I grabbed Akashi-kun's uniform and walked back to his room. I don't need to turn on the lights, the moon's light is enough for me to travel down the dark hallways. It was empty and quiet, because I am made to wake an hour early before the servants.

I fixed Akashi's uniform and find myself getting curious. I pressed my palm on the soft fabric and find it interesting.

"Where of any place is he heading whenever he wears this?"

"School."

Oh, am I too loud?

I faced my owner with my head a bit tilted. "Why are you up so early?" I asked, my voice the same as always. What is the word used by Kotaro-kun? Monotone.

"You're unusually loud." He said calmly.

I almost forgot, I bowed down and offered him my early greeting. "good morning."
