If Sablier Never Happened ~ Chapter 3

"Jack, where are you taking us?" Vincent was running beside Jack to keep up.

"I'm taking you to meet my friend." Jack turns around. "Are you coming, Gilbert?"

Gilbert was trying to run up to Jack. Both Jack and Vincent left without him.

"I'm coming."

"Can we stop for nii-san?"

"Alright."

Gilbert speed ran up to them.

"Thank you for waiting." Gilbert panted. "Where are we going?"

"I want you to meet a friend of mine and Glen's niece."

Gilbert looked at Jack curiously.

"Are we allowed to do that without Glen-sama with us?"

"Of course we can. Keep following me."

Jack lead Gilbert and Vincent to a tower. He opened the door and told them to go upstairs while he got something. Vincent hurriedly ran up and Gilbert slowly followed. When Vincent got to the room, a girl turned and smiled at him.

"Jack wasn't lying. You do have the eye of a child of misfortune." She said this excitedly. "Can you make anything happen? Can you do magic?"

Gilbert stepped in front of Vincent.

"Don't you dare say anything like that to him."

"Why not?" She smiled. "I want to know these things. Can you do dark magic and destroy things?"

Jack walked in and heard this.

"Let's not talk about eyes. I brought these two here to meet you. This is Vincent and this is Glen's servant, Gilbert. Boys, this is Alice."

"He's Oswald's servant? Does that mean he's the next Glen?"

"Yes. I am going to be the next Glen." Gilbert tried to sound as confident as possible.

"I really wish I could see the ceremonies. Jack, will you take me to them?"

"I'll do my best to. I think I can manage to sneak you out a few more times." Jack smiled.

"Why did you bring us to meet Alice?" Vincent looked up at Jack.

"Because she's all alone up here. She needs someone other than me to play with."

"I don't want to play with her." Vincent turned away. "I want to leave."

"You two can't leave. You just got here. Try playing with Alice for a bit."

"I agree with Vincent. We should leave." Gilbert went to the steps.

"Perhaps only Vincent should leave. I don't believe Gilbert can do anything horrible to me. His eyes are gold."

"Stop talking about my brother's eyes!"

In the blink of an eye, Gilbert had knocked down Alice and was pulling at her hair.

"Gilbert!" Jack yelled and ran over. "Get off her."

Jack pulled Gilbert off Alice. Gilbert tried getting loose.

"Let me go. I'm not finished with her." Gilbert tries reaching for Alice.

"Alice, I'm so sorry. I didn't know Gilbert would behave like this." Jack spoke in such an innocent voice. "He's usually a much better child. I don't know what happened."

Jack put Gilbert down and made both him and Vincent leave.

"Thank you for defending me."

"No one should say things like that to you. It's sickening."

Gilbert lead Vincent back to the manor.

"Are you going to be in trouble, nii-san?"

Gilbert frowned. "I probably will be since she is Glen-sama's niece."

"I'm sorry. It's my fault."

"It's not your fault. Don't say that."

"Gilbert." Oswald walked over. "Where have you been? You disappeared."

"Jack took me to see Alice." Gilbert sighed. "I hurt her."

"Why did you hurt her?"

"She mocked Vincent because of his eye."

"Gilbert, go to your room. I will speak with you later."

Gilbert nodded and walked off.

"Please don't be too hard on him. It was my fault." Vincent lowered his head.

"It's alright. I'm not going to hurt him."

Oswald turned and left in search of Jack. Gilbert sat in his room in fear.
