I'll Be Your Angel [Alice Angel X Reader]

Prologue: A Well Of Memories

"Alright Joey. I'm here. Let's see if we can find what you wanted me to see."

"If one more of these pipes burst, I'm outta here."

"People seem to enjoy my Alice Angel voice."

"Thanks Joey, just what I needed. More distractions."

"I'm taking the stairs."

"I know you're watching me. It's just... a little creepy."

"He even called me Alice. I liked it."

"Boris! You scared me to death."

"It made me an angel!"

"I... I think..."

"With enough belief, you can even cheat death itself."

"There's gotta be a way to fix this!"

"Down here strangers aren't good things. How can we trust you?"

"He appears from the shadows, to rain his sweet blessings upon me."

"What? It's still on? Well turn it off damnit!"

"Boris! No no what has she done to you?"

"Beware the ink demon."

"Soon he will hear me. He will set us free."

"Looks like we're in for a fight. Get ready!"

"Once!"

"BETRAYED! ABANDONED!"

"You're!!"

"I'm sorry."

"DEAD!!!"

"... you're the hope I've been waiting for."

"(Y/N)? So soon? I wasn't expecting you for another hour yet. Now you're just trying to impress me."

"I know I know. You have questions. You always do."

"But the real question is... who are we (Y/N)?"

Time after time, loop after loop, all the lines have gotten mashed together. I gave up keeping track of what happened when for a long time now, operating purely off of muscle memory and the surroundings. Nothing surprises me anymore. My emotions were long gone from this torturous limbo, the only time I even remotely remember emotions is seeing Boris in such an... amalgamated, painful state...

How could I feel anything else? I'm trapped. There's no way out for me...

And I can't die on top of it. So what's the point?

"(Y/N)? Is that you?"

"...Alice?"
