I've been here before for a few days now, but it seems like I've been here for eternity, or you can say we. That's right I'm not alone in this game a guy named Kian. He and I are stuck in this game where our lives are at stake.
Kian now walking Infront of Alice is too tired to continue. They're now at the 7th level of this torturous game. A maze only it was too dark for them to see so they had no choice but to go throught it blind.
"Let's take a break we've been walking for a month now."
"A MONTH?! How do you even know that when we can't even see the sun."
"Can you please stop taking things so literal I'm tired if you want to keep going then go ahead."
Kian sits down with his back leaning on the cold maze wall and since she was tired she had no choice but to sit down next to the stranger , but can you really consider a person a stranger when you've known each other for a week now?
They were each other's source of warmth the maze was getting colder by the hour if they do not stick together one of them will eventually get sick or possibly die.
"Kian aren't you worried if people back home miss you? Or maybe they're just better off without you."
As time pass they get to know each other more and more and Kian did not expect Alice to be the type of person to be worried and serious. His first impression of her was quite different.
"You know Alice it's best not to think like that people who think like that die early."
Alice was offended causing a gasp escape from her mouth.
"So you think I'll die early huh! That's not very nice of you."
"I'm just speaking facts and who cares if they miss us or not we're not even done with this game yet you're already thinking of what's happening back home."
"Yeah, I guess your right. I miss my family how about you? Do you miss yours?"
"Well I don't have family only friends."
"Oooh really tell me about them."
"Well I guess it's better to get to know each other.
My Closest friends are Acian,Damian and Melody."
As he continued talking about them he smiled remembering his memories back home.
"Well must be nice having close friends."
"How about you tell about yourself."
Alice paused for a moment before she spoke again and he noticed the nervousness in her voice.
"I'm not a good person back at home..... I was considered a bully at school and I convinced my cousins to do it with me." As she spoke tears dripped down from her face wich fell on his hands.
"Are you still like that until now?"
Alice wiped the tears from her eyes so that's he could properly answer.
"Of course not I've learned my lesson and I learned it the hard way."
"Do how did you learn your lesson?"
"Well— a girl named Ashly transferred to our school and I bullied her to the point that she could not take it she tried to kill herself... but thankfully my cousin Arian arrived at her house just in time. She jumped off a building good thing that the building was not that high she's in the hospital right now in a coma. We gave her family money for the hospital but.. Her family didn't even care about her they just left with the money."
"And how did you know about that?"
"Well ever since she's been hospitalized me and my cousins visited her every day we sang her songs we took care of her and someday when she wakes up I only wish she could forgive me."
Kian hated all kinds of bullies but this particular one he pitied.
"Anyways enough about me how about you Kian is there anything else you would like to share?"
"No thank you."
They sat there as the maze got colder and colder it was still dark still silent and empty.
Kian got up and pulled Alice up they started walking as they reached a dead end they fell throught the fall that seemed to have a trapped door. Both of them started screaming until they started falling slowly and when they opened there eyes that were now in a library.
They heard a man singing and they already knew who it was.
"You are my sunshine my only sunshine♪. Oh you're here congratulations you have passed the last level of the game."
The man who was responsible for where we are now, The Game Master.
As the game Master levitated things here and there too lazy to pick up things without magic Alice was not surprised anymore she's been seeing magic since she arrived in the maze and seeing that Kian was not surprised either she wondered if he had magic too.
"So you guys are about to go home, Uh! I'll miss you guys so much" the game Master took there departure as if they were his children leaving.
Alice and Kian rolled there eyes.
"Hey you bastard, take us home quickly will you!"Alice shouted she was extremely exited to go home not to mention extremely tired she felt cold and her legs were about to collapse from tiredness.
"Alright alright well don't you guys have anything to say each other you guys won't meet again you know."
her eyes widened although they had spent little time together she considered Kian as a friend. Her heart sank she was not going to see Kian ever again, they lived in two different worlds like literally.
Kian suddenly hugged her and she hugged him back he had taught her many things in there short time together "Thank you for being my friend in this game. We might never see each other again, I'll miss you" he said sadly
they exchanged their goodbyes they glared at the game master as they passed through the door that leads to their home.
As Alice went through the door she saw her home. Tears started dripping from her eyes as relief filled her heart.
She went to the gate and started ringing the doorbell only to be stopped by the guards, Diego and Dash.
"Miss I'm sorry but you are not allowed here if you have any business with Mr.Carson then please make an appointment with his secretary."
Alice started laughing thinking it was a prank she was close with the guards after all.
"Haha! Is this some kind of prank Diego".
She waited for them to admit there prank, but she only got a strange look from them.
"Nice prank guys haha... It's me.. Alice Finn Carson's one and only daughter?"
The guards looked at each other and started laughing.
"Hahaha nice try, but no this is the worst excuse I've seen yet miss Mr. Carson doesn't have a daughter he hasn't even remarried yet after his wife died he wouldn't marry anyone else."
Her eyes widened knowing they weren't joking cause if they were they wouldn't mention her deceased mom so lightly.
"Now miss you have to go before we escort you out ourselves."
Alice walked away in shock she started to look for News papers to check the date she picked on up and saw the date was normal so she didn't time travel like in the movies she watched she thought she had so what could have happened?
"What the f*ck?"
She went to all her friends but none of them recognized her she had gone to her school but things were even stranger there. She had no choice but to spend the night out on the streets where she least thought she would end up in her whole life. She had become homeless.
AT SCHOOL
As she walked around the school people gave her strange stares and started to whisper about her but it's not like she wasn't used to it she was part of a group of friends considered as mean girls everyone hated her, envied her, and scared of her, her father's power, the power she held with her name as well as the name held by her friends.
You know what they say right? Rich and Powerful always win. Though Alice knows that none of those were able to keep what she wanted the most from leaving.
Not even the riches and the connections her family had could bring her mom back to life she was everything to her and to her father as well but when she soon left them, the relationship of her and her father grew apart her father did not come home anymore she would only receive gifts on her birthday and would only see him on company events.
She went straight to the principal's office Ms.Buttercup was her name such a cute name for such a strict person. She gently knocked on the door Ms.Buttercup told her to come in and told her to sit Infront of her.
"Hello Ms.Tintagail have you recovered well from your injury?"
Alice sat there confused did she mistake her for another person?
"I'm sorry but I'm not Ms.Tintagail I'm Alice..Alice Carson."But she knew the principal wouldn't recognize her either way if her friends didnt know her why would the principal but she was suddenly in deep thought if people didn't know her why we're people whispering and talking about her in the hallway."
