the house. Alice moved back slowly, not trying to get the killer’s attention. The Italian started laughing and smiling playfully with a creepy grin as he continued with cutting the ‘roots’ of the tomato. After all the ‘root cutting’, the man reached in and grabbed the ‘tomato’, admiring his work. Walking slowly towards the frightened girl, he smiled and licked some ‘tomato juice’ off his knife. “And that is how I get my tomatoes.” he finished and took a large bite out of the the still pumping fruit. Alice got up and ran to the front door, trying to escape the killer’s house. Suddenly, a clock on the walls started chiming. The clock read six o’clock. Her eyes widened in realization, but the door was locked. She started to panic, trying everything she could to open the door.

“Help! Anyone! Help!” she cried desperately to the other side, but it was no use. Footsteps came closer as she slowly turned her head and screamed.

“Where are you going, bella?” Don’t you want to help me harvest more pomodoros?” asked the Italian with a pout, but a hint of playfulness in his auburn eyes. Alice’s heart started pumping faster with each step the man took towards her.

“N-no... Don’t touch me!” she yelled and backed up more and more into the door. The man ate more of the ‘tomato’ and licked his knife some more as more red liquid dripped down his chin. A large grin appeared on his face as he walked closer and closer. Suddenly, the door flew open, sending Alice to the ground. Not wasting another second, she got up and limped as fast as she could into the large forest, fern green eyes full of fear and her blond pigtails now messy. She fell a couple times, hurting her ankle more, but she didn’t care. All that mattered to her, was to get out of this hell.

“Frau! Wait up!” a familiar German accent shouted. She had never been that happy to hear his voice: Gilbert. Stopping completely, she turned around and saw his ruby red eyes, filled with worry. “Frau, are you alright?” he asked in concern as he embraced her with a hug. Alice didn’t say anything but only sobbed. She was safe, once again, in the arms of Gilbert. The German didn’t complain about his wet shirt from the tears, but only kept hugging her. He will always be there for her, always. “It’s okay, Alice. I’m here.” he said quietly. But no matter how much they hated this place and how much they wanted to rest and stop, they had to get out of here before times runs out.

V : Give me your Eyes

♛ ♛ ♛

The forest only got darker, giving them no light and no direction. The dim light from the little firefly-like creatures appeared from time to time, giving them some direction. Alice had already given up on walking, so Gilbert had to give her a ride. The environment felt so familiar. Just a couple hours ago, Matthew had been helping her after all she did to him was bully him back home.

“Gilbert, promise me you won’t leave me alone.” she whispered to him, as a single tear rolled down her cheek silently.

“I promise, we’ll get out of here, together.” He answered, but made no eye contact. Suddenly, there was a single floating light, but it soon disappeared from the distance. They stopped in their tracks, looking for the light again. It was bigger than the little firefly-creatures. Soon enough, more slowly appeared like a pattern of lights at night. They had an odd shape to them, like a lantern. They would appear and glow for about two seconds, then disappear. Suddenly, one appeared in front of them, making them jump. The lantern had two different colored eyeballs that were uneven and a very large grin that had a long tongue sticking out. The eyes and the mouth looked sewed onto the lantern, leaving a couple blood traces on the lantern itself. The left eye slowly dropped in front of them, making them scream. Just when they were about to run for their eyes, it disappeared from their sight, leaving them dumbfounded. They took quick breaths, forcing themselves to think it was just their imagination.

“W-what was that?” quivered Alice as her pupils went small. But before Gilbert had a chance to answer, a little short boy appeared in front of them with dull brown eyes. He had black hair that covered his ears, a pair of white fox ears and a large fluffy tail to finish it off. The child wore a kimono of red and white, and stared at them with emotionless dark brown eyes. The boy looked quite young and innocent, but Alice had learned never to trust anyone in Wonderhell, ever. “We need to get out of here…” she whispered as quietly as possible to Gilbert. A large grin spread across his face, larger than the one’s they’ve seen.

“Onee-san, onii-san, come play with me…” the boy said with an innocent sweet Japanese accent. The two hesitated a little, knowing that running was a bad idea, and agreeing with the boy was a bad idea.

“We’ll play later, w-we need to go somewhere right now.” explained Alice hesitantly, trying not to make the boy mad. At the sound of her answer, something inside the boy snapped. His happy innocent smile disappeared as he looked at them with disbelief. The boy’s eyes went wide and inhuman, as he lunged towards Gilbert.

“NO! GIVE ME YOUR EYES!” he shrieked as his teeth became sharp and his innocent side disappeared. He started choking Gilbert, who was gagging and trying to fight him off. “Give them back you fool! Give them back to her! Kaesu!” Alice tried to get the crazy boy off, but the boy suddenly disappeared from the scene, like the lanterns from before. There was now no more mental children who wanted their eyes.

“What was that all about?!” exclaimed Gilbert who slowly got up while rubbing his neck. There were red scratch marks all over his neck where the boy had tried to choke him. Alice stared at the environment around them, ready for any sudden moves. Why did the boy want their eyes? Suddenly, the boy reappeared, but this time, with bloody scissors in his hands. He laughed and smiled like a maniac with his inhuman crazy side again, leaping for Alice this time, grabbing both her pigtails as she tried to run. She shrieked and started to run in some sort of direction, trying to swing him off.

“NO! GET OFF ME!” she yelled in horror as she tried to pry him off.

“ONEE-CHAN! LET ME CUT OUT YOUR EYES!” they boy laughed and tried to climb up her with his tiny slim body. “YOU HAVE SUCH PRETTY EYES! GIVE THEM TO ME!” he shouted as his grip didn’t loosen but only got tighter.

“NO! GILBERT! HELP ME!” she started to cry as she started to smack the boy, attempting to get him off. But he stuck to her like a squirrel on a tree.

“IF YOU WON’T, I’LL TAKE YOU TO YOUR SLEEP!” he laughed once more and stabbed her left arm with the bloody scissors. Alice finally knew it was over. Soon, her eyes would be cut out and in the boy’s hands. However, she didn’t feel pain. She felt a bit dizzy but she felt comfortable. Alice couldn’t see anything, but she could hear tiny whispers from afar.

“Those who killed the innocent must be punished...” one said.

“Wonderhell is a wonderful place for revenge... A wonderland for the dead...”

“We love your scream and the sight of your suffering, like sugar to a child...”

“We’re already dead, you can’t kill us...” Alice was now completely confused and lost. She didn’t know where she was and she was hearing voices that seemed to be telling her about Wonderhell. Maybe she’s waking up from a bad dream she’ll be back home! But that wasn’t the case. Suddenly, Alice regained her sight back, but she wasn’t in the forest nor her room. In front of her, she saw a picture of the young Japanese boy, but without the ears and tail. He looked like a normal boy who was sitting beside a girl with long light blonde-grey hair with a white bow on top. She wore a dark blue dress and she sat there, smiling at him. They were holding hands, living happily together. The sudden image became dark, as the boy disappeared and turned around whenever she had tried to speak to him. Alice felt heartbroken by the scene. Why did the boy ignore her? She saw as the streams of tears left her eyes. She saw two other figures approach her with knives in their hands, sending shivers down Alice’s spine. They grabbed the poor girl as Alice watched in horror. They had cut her eyes out. The hidden figures laughed and started stabbing the eye sockets that used to be where her pretty navy blue eyes were. Alice started to cry, trying to save the girl.

“NO! WHY?!” she screamed, attempting to punch the picture, but nothing happened. The girl was left alone after a while, and she wore a velvet blind fold that covered her eyes, not allowing the boy to see her eyes nor herself. She cried all by herself, not caring how many times the boy knocked on her door, trying to say sorry. Eventually, the girl died, leaving the boy with regret as he cried in front of her grave. He slowly stood up and he walked towards a stall in a restroom. He had a rope in his hands as he cried silently. Alice watched in fear as the boy hung himself, committing suicide with a note that said: Sorry. I love you. Alice stared in disbelief. What had just happened? She tried to save the girl but she couldn’t! She couldn’t do anything to save anyone! Alice started to bawl as she cried to herself in darkness, hopelessly hoping that she could find a way out and help the girl.

Alice suddenly awoke, feeling dry tears on her cheek. Was it all a dream? Looking around, she was in a forest, again. The exact same place the boy had tried to stab him.

“IF YOU DON’T, I’LL TAKE YOU TO YOUR SLEEP!” she had recalled him say. She got up slowly, due to the massive headache she had. She limped aimlessly through the dark woods, hoping to find something.

“I think Gilbert was with me a while ago... I can’t remember...” she winced and held her head. She used a tree as support as she leaned on it and breathed deeply.

“I got you more eyes, my beloved Natalia.” said a calm innocent voice from the distance. Thinking it couldn’t have been Gilbert, Alice started to creep closer to the sound. She tried not to make too much noise, just in case. Peeking from behind a tree, she could see it was the fox boy, sitting there with a lantern with no design nor face. He slowly took two ruby red eyeballs with blood all over them and started to sew them onto the lantern. The boy did it so carefully, Alice thought his slim fingers might get
