The time was currently 12:30 am and I was just done with few stretches. About time I hit the bed.

I threw away my cloths and stripped down to my underwear. "Hnnnn! Much Better!" I exclaimed as I stretched my arms and slightly arched back, hearing few very satisfying pops.

After I was done with that I walked over to the drawer next to my bed. I opened the first row and took a look at my daughter's picture.

I smiled and ran my hand over the glass. "Good night sweety"

"So that's how you address your daughter....... 'Sweety'."

A sinister voice echoed through the room as the lights went off.

I turned back as quickly as possible. "Who's there!?" I asked, facing the darkness.

Soon enough, my eyes got used to the darkness and my vision somewhat improved.

There, in front of me, in the moonlit blue background ,stood a silhouette. It almost scared the gains out of me.

The person stepped closer to me and i kept my guard up. I had always been brave. Even in this situation, i was calm.......... Until the person came clearly to my view.



I had shivers run down my spine....... What the hell is this!? A ghost!?

"W-who are you?" I asked pulling my shivering arms to a fighting stance.

"Oh me? I'm your friendly neighborhood, Alice." The ghost girl introduced herself while sarcastically bowing.

"Alice?.... Wait..... You're an Inmate!?" i questioned with disbelief, who'd have thought, I lived under the same roof as a ghost girl.

"Well no shit sherlock." the ghost gi- Alice, said while eyeing my cell room.

"A-are........ You a ghost?" i asked, It might be dumb, but better sorry than safe...... I mean 'better safe than sorry!'

"Hmm? Not really. I'm more like a walking ,talking, possession gauntlet. Why would you ask?" She questioned me back.

"I ......was just ......curious"

"Try not to get too curious...... For your own good"

I clicked my tongue and asked. "What do you want?"

"Hmm? Glad you got to the topic than just wasting my time. Well then, you see ,i need your help." The girl said as she sat down on my bed.

I sat down in front of her in a chair and let the conversation flow. "Help with what?"

"You heard of the new kid in the prison?"

"Uh... Yeah... A little"

"You see, I want you to protect him"

"What?"

"You heard me. The dude is too weak to protect himself........ At least for now."

"Why don't you do it yours-"

"Oh trust me, I will if I can. But ,I only come awake after the sun goes down."

"O-oh..... I see..."

"Just keep him safe at least until 6:30 pm. I'll take it from there"

"Ok........?"

"You have questions."

"Yeah.... Why are you trying to help him so badly?"

"Well.... He's my friend after all. I mean, from what i remember, that's what friends do ,right?"

"Yeah right..... What's in it for me?"

"Hmm? A price fighter as always I see."

"Answer me."

"Hmm... How about... I help you see your daughter?"

The moment she said that, my heart skipped a beat.

"No way..... You can do that?" I asked with disbelief. I wanted it to be true so bad that I didn't want to question it too much.

"You bet your ripped ass I can"

"What if you are lying?"

She didn't reply ,instead, just continued staring at me.

"Fine..... I'll help."

She sighed with relief and got up. "Well, that went well"

It seemed like she was about to leave, but she stopped and faced me again. "By the way." She spoke gaining my attention.

"Do you think I would look good with pitch white eyes?"

Well that came out of blue. "Y-yeah...... Why tho?"

"Hmmm.... Well, So that i can change them to look that way."

"But why?"

"well, so that (Y/N) is more comfortable with me"

"I see..... By change do you mean contacts?"

"Huh? Why would i need them? I meant physically change."

Wait what? "Physical Change?"

"Yeah, physical change"

"T-that's impossible..... Human body can't change right away..."

"I. AM. MORE THAN JUST. A HUMAN!"

She gave me a glare that almost gave me a heart attack! But.... Things like this are impossible! There's no such thing as a ghost! "Y-you're bluffing.."

She clenched her fists and glared me to the core. "Trust me when i say this...... DO NOT. TEMPT. A DEMONESS!"

Demoness? Just cause she got a scary look, she thinks she's a demoness!

I'm a strong woman, I will not fall for some eighth grader's bluff. "Hah! Stop bluffing! Or could you just be a delusional child?"

"YOU ASKED FOR THIS!" She walked over to me and grabbed my neck. Before I could punch her, My vision blacked out.

Complete darkness surrounded me, Leaving me with no clue as to what was happening.

Then suddenly, right in front of me, appeared ............ HER corpse.

My heart sunk.

She looked horrible. Her body wrecked up and starting to rot, scars all over her once pretty body and a tape over her mouth.

She looked exactly the way she did, when they found her body.

There, on her chest, few words were carved, which read- 'You did this'

I began to tear up.

"No..... This was not what I wanted...... I didn't want this to happen..." I really didn't do it thinking it would end up this way! I..... I just..... I just wanted to keep my children happy!!!!

Then suddenly, she shot her eyes open!



"YOU DID THIS!!!"

I screamed in terror and dread. Its not my fault!!!

I shot my eyes open and gasped for breath.

Sweating profoundly and heart beating like hell

In front of me, stood Alice. Giving me an evil smirk.

"You liked that nightmare?" She then came to my face. "It won't take me a second. To turn that into your reality"

"No! Please...... No!"

"Well then, stop whining. Hope you get your job done without disappointing me"

"Oh.... And I would prefer it if you kept your mouth shut about what i did, while talking (Y/N)"

With that, she disappeared and the lights returned.

For a moment, it felt like something like that didn't happen at all. But i wouldn't put my money on that.

I went to bed and cried myself to sleep. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Elena!" I snapped out of my trance and looked down, to be met two concerned (E/C) eyes looking up to.

"Ah! Sorry sorry! lets keep moving" I said smiling sheepishly and rubbing my nape.

Apparently, After I saved him from Chara and got him out of her cell, I told him about how Alice 'asked' me to help him.

Well, except for the parts in which she gave me nightmares...... Literally.

After that, i took him to the medic,who got his wounds treated.

For now, It was 1:00 pm and we were headed to my favourite place, the place i use to lay down and rub away unwanted shit from my head ,the back yard.

3rd person pov.

As you two made your way down the hallway, you decided to push few questions. "So the girl who's prison cell I walked into...... Her names Chara?"

Elena: "Hmm? Yeah,that's her name."

"I see...."

Elena: "You seem down, what's up? Upset that you got attacked twice in a row?" she asked while waving to few friendly inmates who happen to walk by.

"No...... Its just that.... I feel sorry for Chara...."

Elena: "Excuse me?" she raised her eye brow in disbelief.

"I know it sound crazy, but..... She did make her point.... She was alone.... And wanted me to be her friend. Maybe... Maybe if I had actually spoke to her instead of being a coward and just standing there doing nothing.... Maybe things wouldn't have took a bad turn..." You said while slightly dropping your head.

Elena: "Hold your horses kid. She is not what you think she is."

"hmm?"

You heard her sigh and stop for a while, before continuing to speak.

Elena: "Just asking, why do you think Chara is here?"

"Uhhh....... Don't know...."

Elena: "To begin with, she is a mass murderer."

As she said that, you gasped in shock. By how close you were with a murderer............... Excluding you of course.

"W-what?"

Elena: "I don't know much about her, but i do know two things. One, her kill count goes above 400. Two, Wherever she went, she left behind a trail of Genocide."

"Whoa..... Really?"

Elena: "Yeah....... Sometimes there would be an entire city burning. She is good at manipulating people, driving them to committing heinous acts... There's a rumour that her first genocide was her own family."

"wow..."

Elena: "You still wanna talk things out with her?" she asked sarcastically.

"Nope! I'll pass!"

You both laughed it off as just a stupid joke. And to you, it kinda felt good to speak to someone ..... Normal. And actually joke around.

"But hey, at least she remained calm on the first few minutes of the encounter. Unlike Aria, who-" "Unlike Aria what?"

You gulped as you immediately recognized the voice, yet you remained calm and turned around. To see that Aria was standing beside you ,folding her arms and tapping her feet on the ground.

Aria: "Making new friends ,eh?" She asked while slightly tilting her head.

"I.... Uhh.... Well..."

Aria: "Its great!" she exclaimed while bringing her hands to a clap.

"huh?"

Aria: "I mean, Its a good thing to socialize, especially in a place you hate and have to inevitably stay. It will help ya feel a lot less unwelcome, and help you get comfortable. So tis great!"

"Uhh... Y-yeah i guess..." you said dumbfounded.

Aria: "Anyway, That's not why'm here." as she said this, her expression became more serious and concerned. She marched over to you and came to your face and cupped a side of your face. She stared at you with her visible left violet eye, which wasn't covered by her bang.

You just stood still, confused by her sudden character change.

Aria: "I just came out from canteen. I heard that Marie and her gang attacked you. So i was worried if ya got hurt. Are ya alright now? Did ya get treated for any possible wounds?"

Elena: "Ah, don't worry. There are no injury's" she said while patting your head.

Aria: "I see. That's good to hear and where wer-" she suddenly paused.

She just stared at the side of your face while giving a poker face.

She rubbed her finger over your cheek and you felt her finger gaze over a small scratch wound which you got this morning when your face was slammed on the table.

Aria: "There's a wound here......"

"Ah! Its nothing big. Will vanish over a night or two" you said not knowing what else to say.

Aria: "They did this.... Didn't they?"

Elena: "Yes. It was them."

Aria: "Did ya bleed?"

"What?"

Aria: "Did. They. Make you bleed?"

"A little, yes" you could swear you saw Aria's eye twitch when you said this.

Aria stayed silent for a while before regaining her composure. She once again put on a cute smile.

Aria: "Aight, I don't wish to hold ya two back any longer than i already have. So go on to wherever ya two were headed."

Elena: "Well then, lets go (Y/N)"

"Y-yeah.." You said as you and Elena walked past Aria and headed to the back yard.

However, as you left, Aria stood there for few minutes, not even moving an inch. Few inmates passing by would see her and just continue on with their own work.

After what seemed like 10 minutes, she finally snap.

She grit her teeth in anger and clenched fists.

She undid her twin ponytail and violently shook her head, flailing her long ,glittery back hair. After that she tied her hair to a single ponytail and started marching down the hallway, towards Marie and her gang's cell room.

After few minutes, sounds of Marie and her gangs screaming and bones breaking echoed through the corridor. Which the inmates who heard it, ignored and just continued on with their work.
