Alice was bedridden for the whole day. Her karma for abusing her body for the past few days has come.
She was in the middle of throwing her dagger in the air and catching it again when the door to her bedroom opened. Revealing Peter who seem quite exhausted.
She sat from her bed and followed him with her eyes, "Where did you go?"
"Just fetched a dork." He replied and grunted afterwards like he was hit.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. By the way, Rain is with us."
Oh? Now I badly want to have Peter's ability. I feel so left out!
"So, what's the plan?"
Peter leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes, Alice noticed his shoulders slightly moving like someone is massaging him. Must be Felicia.
"Change of plans. Me and Rain will fight whoever is inside Prism's body while you just stay here."
"What?!"
She know her condition but she badly want to help! She abused her body several times before, abusing it again won't be a big deal to her anymore.
"I'm still not even sure about Rain fighting with me since souls can't enter their mansion right?"
"But he did something earlier, and we haven't tested if he can pass through the house now." Peter added.
She was about to ask him about what Rain did earlier when someone knocked on her door. The door opened by itself and she looked at Peter for explanation and he mouthed 'Rain' at her.
Candhess then entered and glance at Peter but returned her gaze directly at Alice.
"Can we talk?" She asked.
Silence enveloped the room for seconds before Peter spoke, "I'll tell you more about it later."
When they were alone Candhess quickly sat beside her and held her cheeks. She was bewildered at her sudden action but she know Candhess won't harm her.
"Your eyes..."
Now she caught her full attention. At first Alice was also amused of her own eyes and was curious at how her eyes are colored red.
Candhess sighed heavily and let go of her, "Do you ever wonder about it?"
"Yes, why? What's the matter?
"Your father turned you into a demon, and these eyes of yours are a curse!"
Alice's mouth snapped shut and she couldn't coherent any word. He once called her a demon but she have no idea that what he said is true. And how? How did he turned me into one?
"He is a grim reaper and he uses innocent people like you, your brother and me to do his job for him which is collecting souls."
Is this... Is this the answers I've always tried to find?
Alice quickly glanced at her door to make sure it is closed and lock, she must be alert especially now that her father can enter anytime.
