(thats eclipse)

It was another day in Underland. 16 years ago, Alice decided to stay with Tarrant, since they had fallen in love. They had gotten married and 9 months later, they had a beautiful daughter, named Eclipse. She had her mothers long blonde hair and her father's green eyes. Eclipse and Tarrant had that special father daughter bond.


She was always bubbly and energetic, like her father. But she could be calm and peaceful at times as well. She was a very sweet and curious girl. But now...


Something was wrong. She would hide herself in her room and when her parents went out, she would cry for hours and she wouldn't sleep. maybe for an hour or so... and she would hurt herself. She wouldnt try to kill herself though.


Alice was reading a book while tarrant was making a hat. All of a sudden, Tarrant set his tools down and looked up. He could smell something... blood.

He walked upstairs, following the smell. He could feel his heart pound in his chest. He REALLY hoped it wasnt Eclipse. He then heard his daughter crying. It was coming from the bathroom.

"honey? are you alright?" he asked as he listened to her cry. The smell of blood was coming from there. Oh dear...

He opened the door and gasped.

Eclipse was curled up in the corner, her arms, wrists and hands covered in blood. A bloody pocket knife was laying next to her. Tears and mascara ran down her cheeks as Tarrant rushed towards her, kneeling in front of her.

"ALICE!!!!!" he yelled, his voice laced with concern. Shortly after he called Alice's name, her footsteps got louder and louder and she was in the bathroom. She gasped as she knelt down beside her, while Tarrant opened the cupboards. He got a few antiseptic wipes and bandages.

Her eyes landed on the blood knife, her eyes widening. Why would she harm herself?

"why did you do this?" Alice whispered as Tarrant carefully took Eclipse's hands in his. He couldnt believe that their precious girl harmed herself.

"This will sting..." tarrant mumbled before placing the antiseptic wipe on her cuts. Eclipse held back a scream as she clenched her jaw, more tears falling. Tarrant cleaned the blood as Eclipse spoke.

"I... I just feel w-worthless... a-a lot of people make fun of me... a-and it hurts..."

Tarrant bandaged her wrists before cupping her face in his hands.

"My dear Eclipse, you aren't worthless... you're beautiful, sweet, funny and you are fun to be around. Youre always energetic and to see you like this... Hurting yourself and bringing yourself down, hurts us..."

Her face was stained with tears and mascara, her eyes totally red and swollen. Alice rubbed her back as Tarrant kissed her forehead. "Don't listen to those people my dear girl. They will do anything to bring you down... You're everything to us..."

More tears fell down her cheeks as she looked down at her bandaged wrists.

"Come here love..." he whispered as he pulled eclipse into his arms, bringing her head to his chest. Alice took out his handkerchief and wiped Eclipse's face. Eclipse looked really sleepy, since she hardly got any sleep. Tarrant ran his bandaged fingers through her hair as she listened to his heartbeat.

"Rest Eclipse... you look really tired..." Alice whispered as she took hold of her hand.

Eclipse snuggled in Tarrant's arms as she sniffled. "I love you..." she said softly before her eyes closed and she fell asleep in his arms. They just sat there, watching her sleep in his embrace. Tarrant ran his fingertips up and down her spine, helping her relax. Alice kissed her cheek as she gently squeezed her hand.

"Aye... we love you darling..."
