"Alice?"
Serenity frowned at Alice's frozen form. What the hell was wrong with that
black rabbit? He had told her to leave, hadn't he? When he saw her double
over, euphoria started growing in him. Seriously? Alice Nightray actually
fell? However, it was wrong. Everything seemed wrong. Serenity stepped
towards the coughing Alice with a strange feeling of curiosity.
"Hey, Alice!"
Serenity's long fingers barely grazed against Alice's shoulders, and he was
immediately thrown back. Alice spun around, slightly off balance, her eyes
blazing.
"Don't touch me!"
Serenity seethed as he landed, hard, against a tree. He was never going to
be worried about that flea again. Then he saw the tears in her fearful
crimson eyes.
"Wait, Alice?" he questioned, shifting towards her uneasily.
Alice shuddered, curling up in to a shaking ball, "Leave me alone..."
Even Serenity could understand that she wasn't talking to him. Her unfocused
irises had a haunted look within them. With an almost stumbling shock,
Serenity realised that look had always been there, just that he had never
noticed it. Perhaps it was because Alice had hidden it so well... Or that he
was just that oblivious. Still, what-?
"Alice Nightray. Damn it, wake up!" Serenity firmly shook Alice.
Alice bit her lip, moving like a rag doll.
However, in the next instant, Alice had yanked herself away from Serenity.
"My, my, Serenity. Getting all sure of yourself, hm?" Alice licked her lips.
She flicked her hair past her shoulders, her dull-red eyes narrowing. If she
had been vulnerable a moment ago, it had all disappeared. Her doe-like eyes
were confident and mocking.
"What-? Okay, you are freaking screwed up," Serenity hissed, disoriented.
Alice stood up, brushing off her black, ruffled miniskirt. An easy, teasing
laugh escaped her full lips.
"That's your own thoughts, Serenity," Alice smirked, turning to walk away,
"Oh, and, Serenity? Be careful of the people near you."
Alice waved, as she skipped away, her slender hands in her coat pockets.
Serenity never had the chance to question her last line.
"Damn it."
