Alice Laced up her favorite black corset and straightened her black ballet skirt . Sitting on the bed she laced up her hard soled ballet shoes . Looking into the bits of broken glass on the floor at her reflection, then she walked to the window . “I know you mean well Othello but you must forget me.” She then opened the window and jumped .
Alice came to a soft landing on the pavement and realized that she was in Japans old district . She often had come here when she was little to seek refuge . “It’s funny . .” She thought “That the very place I sought refuge I’m now running from .” With this thought she ran . She ran hard and fast, through the dim light streets of the old city . But then something caught her eye . A movement a shadow behind her . But when she turned her head there was nothing . Alice know all to well that the black lace group were fast, sneaky, And very deadly .
Alice thought fast “What to do?” Her mind raced as if with her feet, fast and certain of each mental step. She went on like this till if as all at once her world stopped with her thoughts. The answer was clear to her but could she pull it off .
She stopped and stood and walked to a stream that ran alone the street . It was for the most part man made but of course they had help from the rains . Alice felt in her pockets till she found her knife . She pulled it out and looked at it thinking still of what she knew must happen . She grabbed a fist full of her long black hair and watched in the water as she slowly sliced through . Within a few seconds it was done . Random pieces of hair flew into her face . Alice dunked her head in the water and soothed her hair back , Then cut a few more inches off its length . After she was done she unlaced her corset and through it into the stream hoping it would be washed down stream . Alice wore black knee length pants under her skirt so she tore off the skirt . Then she rubbed dirt on herself . With all this she achieved the look she knew she needed .
Alice trotted down the bank of the stream glancing behind her ever so often . “Were to go ?” She thought running through places in her mind . Then suddenly as if out of thin air Othello stood in front of her his arms crossed over his muscular chest his blue eyes seemingly piercing her every thought knowing what she was going to say be for the words formed in her mind . “What?” She shouted “Don’t you get it I don’t need nor want you . So just go .” Othello’s stunningly light colored eyes seemed to flash with sadness at her hard remark “This may be true but Wether you want me or no I was born to protect you .” Alice heard tires screeching and ran toward Othello tears welling up in her eyes “Oh . No Please don’t let them get me too.” Othello held her tight and whispered “Never . . . . “ With that her jumped onto a near by roof and scooped up Alice’s legs in his other arm kissing her forehead “Be strong “ He whispered running along the roof tops bullets buzzing by his head . Just as he jumped into a window a bullet grazed Alice’s arm and she winced and groaned .
