You accused me for being a monster....... You chained me up claiming I was insane....... You beat me up claiming I was guilty..... Yet. Why can't you see..... That I am just a mirror?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"She seemed nice!" yelled an all familiar voice from behind you.

"What the!!" you screamed as you just got the biggest jump scare of your life.

'Geez, I'm gonna die fr-..... Wait... That voice!' You thought as your face lit up due to voice recognition. It was the voice of someone you had been waiting to hear for some time now.

"Alice!" you blustered happily ,as you turned around to meet her. But you were met with something....... Unexpected.

"Alice?" You questioned with a raised brow, as you had few troubles recognizing her.



She looked a lot different from the first time you met her. Her veins seemed to have disappeared without a trace, her hair which was blueish white, has now become cloudy white with silver and grey end shade. And it seemed like her hair had more volume to it. Her ghostly pale skin now had a grey undertone to it. But the most important change you noticed, was her eyes. Even though abnormally white, it somehow made her look more beautiful.

At this point, you were starting to doubt if this was even Alice or someone else.

You were so focussed on her, that you didn't notice the room getting darker.

While you were lost deep in your thoughts, you didn't notice the incandescent demoness inching closer to you. Taking slow yet steady steps, and hands folded behind her back. All the while, she had a teasing smile spread across her grey lips.

Once she was standing face to face with you, she smirked before giving you a headbutt. The hit was painful enough to drag you out of your trance. "Ouch!" you let out, as you began rubbing your forehead.

Alice: "This is our second meeting, yet you're still not done admiring me." she said while closing one eye and placing her palm over her chest. "Oh well. I won't blame you tho. After all, who doesn't like to admire the best girl?"

"Uh..... How come you are here?" you asked, not in an offending manner.

"Well the sun's down silly!" she said while showing some teeth.

"Oh.... And..... What happened to you?" You finally asked, while slightly blushing due to embarrassment.

Alice: "Fufu! Wouldn't you like to know?" she laughed while placing her palm over her lips.

"Uh... Yes. I'd definitely like to know" you said as you were done rubbing your forehead.

Alice: "Well you see, I never really interacted with anyone in this prison before you son of a bitch arrived, so I didn't ever feel the need to groom myself." she said as she sat next to you. You didn't really get mad at her for swearing, coz no matter how you saw it, it was in a friendly manner. Once comfortably seated next to you, she continued. "But now that I have you to speak with, I totally need to present myself elegantly, right?" she said while flailing her legs.

"Uh.... Yeah, I guess...." you agreed, still not able to understand her concept of 'Grooming'.

"Hey hey! Lets listen to some songs, shall we?" she suggested.

"Yeah, sure..." you said, starting to get slightly comfortable.

Then, she put her hand under her button up shirt and pulled out a small black cuboid. You just watched and wondered how she was able to hide it there.

"What's that?" you asked, not able to recognise that thing Alice had in her hands.

Alice: "Oh this?" she said while pointing towards the box. "This is a Cholas Mp3 player." she said while turning on the player, causing the screen to light up.

"I see..." You said.

Alice: "There! Found my playlist!" she said with an excited face, after swiping through the screen for an entire minute.

"Ok, lets here those songs then" You said, starting to get equally excited.

Alice: "A'ight!" she said as she tapped on the screen, selecting a song from the never ending list.

Alice: "The song name is 'Skeletons' from 'Tails and Inverss' feat. Nevve. Do you know the best thing about this song?"

"No... I never heard it." you said while rubbing the back of your head.

Alice: "That's toooootally fine! You get to listen to it for the first time with your best buddy after all!" she said while playfully elbowing your gut.

"Yeah right...." You said while sweat dropping. Finding it funny that she considered herself to be your best buddy. But in all honesty, you were actually glad she did.

Alice: "Well then, open your ears!" she low yelled while taping on the 'Play' icon.

While the song continued playing, you couldn't help but notice Alice's lilting hums, as she slowly tilted her torso side-to-side. While her bushy white hair was loosely swinging along. Even with a charmingly scary appearance, she had a very pleasant and jubilant aura around her.

Somehow, she gave you a chance to get comfortable. And let your guard down.

Alice: "Say (Y/N)" she called out, while still closing her eyes and slowly tilting herself side to side in rhythm.

"Hmm?" you hummed in response, while slightly leaning back and pressing your hands against the soft cushion of the stretcher.

Alice: "Why can't I find any memories in you before the age of 12?" she asked. Reminding you that she had read all your memory's.

"Well... From what I've been told" You began, taking in a huge breath before continuing. "I was met with a terrible accident at the age of 11. Was hit by a truck apparently. It left me rendered off any memory's I had up until that point." You said while slightly flailing your legs.

Alice: "I see.."

"Yup"

Alice: "So... You have, like absolutely no memory of what happened in the first 11 years?" she asked, finally opening her eyes and sitting up straight.

"Well. Sometimes, I've felt something like Deja vu........ But that's the end of it" You said.

Alice: "I see.... By the way." she said, changing the topic. "How was your day? Anything interesting?"

"My day, huh?.......... Where do I even begin?" you said, scratching your cheek. Seeing this, Alice grinned.

Alice: "Something tells me it was interesting." she said as she came close and cupped your face with her warm hands. Without warning, she closed her eyes and placed her forehead against yours.

You knew what she was doing, so you just stayed still. Also, you avoided looking at her face up close, fearing you'd end up admiring her again.

'she was charming even with her ghostly appearance before, now she just got much more beautiful. I don't wanna end up getting caught while admiring her again!' You thought to yourself.

Alice: "I heard that" she said with a grin, while still remaining in that position.

You immediately stiffened, your face flushing deep red in embarrassment.

You didn't dare to think anything else, and just let her do her thing.

After a while, she finally detached herself. You noticed that she had an amazed look on her face.

"so, what do you think?" you asked.

Alice: "First of, Damn! That's a lot in a single day!" she said while lightly punching your chest.

"You can say that again" You said, slightly cringing. Seeing you like that, Alice spoke again.

Alice: "Okay first, Do you want to hurt Aria? Get her back for what she did to you?" she asked, sounding serious.

"What do you mean...... Hurt?" You asked, while sweat dropping.

Alice: "You know.... Hurt her in anyway possible... Both mentally and physically"

You gulped down a lump and thought about it for a minute. Sure, you hated Aria for what she did to you. But was it really worth stooping down so low?

'If I got a problem with Aria, then I should resolve it myself. Why do something as cowardly as bringing someone else into the matter?' you thought to yourself.

Besides, a part of you didn't really want Aria to get hurt. Even you couldn't explain why.

"Its fine, Alice. I'll think of way to handle it." you said while rubbing the back of your head. You heard a sigh from her, before she spoke again.

Alice: "Well, I expected that answer" she smiled. You were more than just relieved that she didn't get mad at your stupidity. "Anyway.... About Chara."

You once again turned your attention back to her, listening to what she had to say.

Alice: "Well..... Its a good thing you managed to get on her good side. I don't know what she means when she say's 'You both are similar', but I wouldn't force her to explain. Just.............. Don't easily trust her. Or anyone except me and Elena." she said, seriousness and hate evident in her tone.

"You......... Don't like Chara, do you?" You asked.

"Nope... I don't."

"Aaaand why is that?" you asked, wondering if they both had fought before.

Alice: "Silly reason actually. Say, with me being a demoness, it would make sense for me to posses a strength far greater than humans, right?" she asked. You just nodded while taking in the fact that she was an OP demoness. "But! For some damn reason, Chara, being a human, rivals me in strength!" she said, sounding very annoyed.

"I see..." you said, recalling how Chara threw that Cannibal girl through the walls. It was indeed a scary display of strength.

Alice: "Oh well, at least Elena did her job well." she murmured to herself, still loud enough for you to hear.

"Oh yeah! That reminds me, thanks for asking Elena to help me. She was really friendly and mature." you said, looking at her with gratitude.

Alice's annoyed expression softened to smile.

Alice: "You know,back when I was in school, there used to be a saying. It went something like: 'No gratitude and apologies between besties' Right?" she grinned, showing her milky white teeth, while placing her hand on your shoulder.

You too grinned back, accompanied by a slight chuckle.

"Yup! You are indeed an ideal best buddy I wish I had in school." You said with a little laugh.

Alice really had that charm to set someone out of despair. You didn't really realise it yet, but you were really happy that you got to spend some time with her.

But. Little did you know, that your time with Alice, was gonna get much better.

She threw her arm over your shoulder and shoved you closer to her,catching you off guard.

Alice: "Now lets get to the important part, shall we?" she asked, getting closer to your face.

"I-Important part?" you asked, feeling trouble erupt.

Alice: "Yup! You see, before coming to meet you, I had been to Satsuri's cabin to steal some cookies. But guess what I found?" she asked with a grin, giving you a closer look at her slightly pointy teeth.

"W-what?" you asked.

Alice: "A printed fax about her current task. Looks like its a job from the higher ups. From what it read, it seems like Satsuri and Sena won't be here for today and another 4 days."

"Uh.... Okay..... And?" you asked, starting to fear who will protect you during the night.

Alice: "Isn't that perfect!?" she yelled with sparkling eyes, startling you a bit.

"P-perfect for what?" you asked.

Alice: "To go on a trip!"

"W-what!? A trip? Like..... Outside the prison?" you asked with raised brows.

Alice: "Of course silly!" she said while giving you a boop to the nose.

"Won't...... Won't we... Get caught?" you asked, hoping for a positive answer.

Even though risky, you didn't want to pass on this chance. An opportunity to get your mind off the prison and stay away from Aria.

Alice: "Of course not! There are guards keeping watch near the gate and the walls, but no one gives a shit about what goes on inside. According to them, they are making sure no one leaves the prison."

"Then how are WE gonna leave?" you asked.

Alice: "We won't be leaving THROUGH the gates, where we can be seen. No no. We'll be teleporting. Inside out!" she said while pumping her fists. Her plan actually made sense to you.

"Are you..... Sure about this?" You asked, hesitating to take a risky step.

Alice: "Of course I am!" she exclaimed before pulling you closer to her. "Listen, we'll leave now. Go to a mall and buy few new threads for the picnic,and off we go!" she explained, trying her best to not burst out in excitement.

"Uh....." you were struggling to take the decision. But Alice continued anyway.

Alice: "Aaaaand we'll be back before Satsuri and Sena come back." she said with a wink. "So, what do you say?"

You took a moment to think about her offer. Sure, the offer was tempting, but was it worth the risk?

No matter how you saw this, it was just too risky.

"Hey Alice...." you called out, wanting to tell your decision.

Alice: "Hmm?" she hummed while cutely tilting her head.

"...... Lets go....."

Aight, sorry for the wait, I was busy writing a one shot for my 'Yandere various x reader' book. The next update will come sooner, I Promise. Adios!
