- And it was time.
- She blinked slowly, rising from her comfortable position in the closet. The tiny frame struggled with the tangle of blankets, and finally was able to let one hand escape and use it to push the sliding door open. She came tumbling out in a mess of fabric, and after much twisting and turning, she was out. Slowly, she rose to her feet. She was clumsy, wobbling while attempting to keep her balance as she made her way over to the bathroom, and slumped onto the sink, and peered up into the mirror.
- She looked absolutely terrible. Her hair was matted to her scalp, and make up ran down her face. She rubbed under her eyes, smearing the black eyeliner and mascara on her tiny fingers. Had she been crying? She didn't remember.. But her head throbbed and ached, and she just didn't know what she was going to do.
- She grabbed a comb and began to brush through the mass of black and silver hair. Her skin was a ghastly white, reflecting how she was in a malnutritioned state. Her condition was poor, her ribs clung to her skin, and she lost most of the chubbyness that made her face so cute and chibi-like. She looked more mature in a way, as her once innocent wide orbs were a smoky dull gray. And she blinked slowly, barely recognizing herself.
- She ran through the events of what happened the last few nights. The voice, that strange Italian voice had explained everything to her. How they were taking them away because they were too different, too strange. No one wanted them there anymore. And with the recent Alice ban, they couldn't keep her there. Why? Because her Alice and her mental stability were intertwined.
- The voice and the transformation of her appearance were a result of her psychological state and her Alice. The voice with the strange thick Italian accent? She identified herself as Phoenix. The silver hair? That was Phoenix. She was trying to take over the body. Take control and get revenge on the school and all the people whom had hurt the host body, Charity. Who was the first target? The person she cared for most.
- And so, Charity had spoken to a teacher. A teacher whom she thought she could trust. But of course, you could trust no one. They had spoken to other members of the faculty, and they came to an agreement. The other had come to take her away. But for how long?
"Just a few years.."
- She heard a loud knocking at the door, and she walked over to answer it. In front of her was a man in a navy business suit who looked to be in his early fifties, and a pretty blond lady whom seemed barely older than twenty. The woman gasped at the little girl's sickly state, and grabbed her by the hand, and dragged her off into the bathroom. The woman grabbed a towel, and poured water from the tap, and with the moistened rag, she washed the girl’s face. Charity did not respond to the motherly gesture, and the woman sighed. The girl pulled away motionlessly and left the room to dress herself, as she slid open another door to the separate closet.
- Frowning, the little girl shifted through her outfits, before pulling out a pastel pink Lolita dress. She slipped into the rose ruffles, and pulled on her black platforms, along with a similarly colored frilled bonnet, and lace gloves. She tied an ebony chocker around her neck and tapped a finger to her lips. She looked like a little porcelain China doll, but something was missing. Grabbing a pair of long pink ribbons, she tied them into her to form pigtails. The outfit? Perfect.
"We have to hurry. We need to quarantine her as fast as possible before this damn place contaminates the subject."
"I know Sir.. But we can’t rush her. It may damage her mental stability."
"We don’t know what these people did to it, so the quicker we get out of here, the quicker we can test how it works, the better."
"Yes but-"
- She stepped out of the closet, and watched the man stare, and the woman gasp in surprise. She could hear them speaking while she was dressing, and they both knew she could. They weren’t very effective at keeping their voices down. And for a single second, the petite girl’s eyes flicked to a deep crimson, and the tint of silver in her locks expanded. She frowned, before slowly walking over to the exit of the dorm room.
"Sweetie, I’m sorry you heard that.. I pinky-promise nothing bad will happen to y-"
"Issokay, pretty lady. Ni paii.~*"
- Charity smiled brightly as she turned around towards the adults and flashed them both a set of pearly white teeth. They gazed at her for a few moments, before the woman carefully strode up to her, and took the little girl’s hand in her own, and led them both through the door, with the man in close pursuit.
- The woman led the way to the teacher’s staff room, and opened the door soundlessly, and ushered the girl inside. It was rather humorous, only bringing two people to take away a little girl. After all, with the recent ban of Alices, and an angering population of Alice users, wouldn’t they be annoyed with all the government officials snooping around? But of course, they had more in case they needed back up if the situation got out of hand.
- Of course they arrived to their destination on time, and the man they needed to see was already there. And it wouldn’t be long before it was all over with, and the people she cared for wouldn’t see her for a long time. She sighed softly, and squeezed the woman's hand tighter. She didn't want to go. She didn't want to start all over again. The tiny girl would miss her friends and her little brother, but maybe it would all be alright. They would fix her. Because she was broken.
"Mr. Yamato. We have received permission from the academy to take this child away. It is not fit to be here."
- That was right. The government officials had spoken with the highest of powers of the academy, and decided that she had no choice but to be removed from the campus. If they didn't comply? The subject would be exterminated.
"Please understand Sir, we will not be testing on her. We merely need to see her behavior habits and we'll take good care of her."
- The woman spoke, and the little girl almost wanted to believe her. So she snuggled up to the pretty lady, and rested her head on her arm. She sought comfort, because she knew what was happening. The woman gave her a delighted grin, earning a soft small smile from the little girl.
"We are aware of its’ record. The amount of abuse this child has been put through is a social outrage. But we still need to study it. It is one of the few cases of such mental trauma that causes an inability to function properly in society, and this is a once in a life time opportunity to study such a specimen. Of course, we'll keep in mind that it has a fairly unique Alice…"
- She had to be brave. Because she knew that this might just be the end. She needed to make it through the next chapter in her life. She needed to return to Alice Academy again. So she reached up and tugged on the teacher's shirt, and peered up at him with those big, sad gray eyes.
"..Please don't tell anyone, Mr. Arose. Pretty please? Charity.. Charity doesn't want people to worry. She wants everyone to be happy without her!"
