Edit2: (Forgot to put the OTHER song in there...... this is not my day.....)

When I turned back and faced the hallway, I reflected on what I had accomplished. I only had three left. It was a little staggering to know that, but I never felt so determined that I could finish something else. I looked at the door beside Sky's room. Remembering earlier, this was Megan's room. Something told me to hold off on her for a second. I decided to explore that second stairway, the one that Ruby had originally taken Crystal, Kaitlin and I up there to play some games. As I took several steps up the steps, I spotted a door on my right. As I reached the top, I saw the door was slightly open. I pushed it open, causing it to creak slightly. I felt a change in temperature slightly. The room had a red carpet on the ground. As I walked into the room and shut the door behind me, I thought I heard something. It almost sounded like music. When I took a few more steps inside, I recognized that it was music. And the strange thing was I knew this song. I could hear the lyrics faintly as I walked up. There was an oval with a wall preventing me from going straight through the middle. As I went around it, I stopped as I heard something else. I hadn't fully emerged from the oval yet. I looked around the corner and listened closely. I heard what I thought I had heard the first time.

I came out from around the corner and followed the sound. It was also apparently where the music was coming from as well. Both grew louder, but I heard the song playing more often than the noise I was hearing. Walking through a small room and entering another hallway to the left of it. When I turned the corner of the hallway, I saw a bedroom. I could hear the choking cry of Alice. The music was playing, but Alice's voice was a little louder than the music. The music must have muffled my approach. Alice's bed was a little wide, being shaped more like an oval than a circle, but still mostly round. I had gotten close enough to where I actually heard Alice's words.

"I'm not useless... I'm not weak..." She was facing away from the exit of the hallway, covering her ears and her head with her paws. She was visibly trembling! I gave a sigh through my nose, knowing exactly what Alice was going through. I was hoping that Sky would be the only one, but it seems that Alice was being afflicted with something. I started to lean forward and stretch my hand out towards her.

"Alice?" Reaction was swift. She flinched, turned her body towards me and hit me with her paw right across the cheek. I felt her claws tear into my skin. I stumbled back, holding my cheek with one hand while trying to prevent myself from falling backwards. When I balanced myself, I saw Alice looking at me, her nerves tense after realizing what she had done. I brought my hand down and saw blood on my hand. I felt a little trickle down my cheek. I placed my hand back on my cheek and saw Alice with tears in her eyes. I could already tell what was going through her mind. I took several steps back forward as I held out my other hand towards her just as she was about to panic.

"Alice, wait, it's okay! Don't panic okay?"

"Oh my gosh Cassius I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to- I didn't...." She looked at the verge of breaking down. I climbed onto her bed and put a hand on her head.

"It's okay, look, it's all gone." I pulled my hand away and held it out towards her. "See?" Alice looked at me astonished. Her tears however did not fade away. They were running down her cheeks, and from the looks of it, they had been running down for a while now. She looked reluctant to say anything right now. She pulled away from me and turned around. She was still shivering a little bit. I thought about reaching out towards her again, but I didn't want to get hit again.
