I quoted like three or four vocaloid songs in the last chapter, giving it credit because VOCALOID IS AWESOME!

I turned off for the night and reawoke the next morning. I smelled... Food. Alexander wasn't in the room. I didn't know it could happen, but my back hurt from laying on such a squishy bed. Uhg, I'd have to sleep on the floor to feel comfortable... I hope they won't put me back in bed while I sleep. I sat up and looked around. I had his my backpack, and it was still in its hiding place.

I walked downstairs. Alexander and his family were eating. I tried not to let them see me, but Julie did. "Hey!! Al! The creepy girls down here! SHES TRYING TO RUN!! I SEE YOU!! I SEE YOU!!!!!" Julie yelled.

I dashed back upstairs. Dangit!! They saw me! Now I'd have to go and spend time with them.... Uuhhhggg.... Alexanders dad came up and sat In a chair across from the bottom bunk bed. I huged my knees and glared at him.

"Why don't you come down and eat with us? We could talk, and maybe you could tell us about yourself." He took my hand and led me downstairs. I let him, as to not arise suspicion for not needing to eat.

When I was seated in front of a plate of toast, they continued to eat. Toast? I had never had toast. I poked it and it crunched. That was interesting. Why would they eat obviously burned food? I just don't understand these humans...

"Do you not like toast?" Alexander asked. I glared at him. "OK, that glare thing is really creepy. Try to look more happy!" He said.

Happiness was an emotion I never expected to feel again. Although, being with Yuki and Angel almost made me feel..... Happy.... "No." I mumbled and poked the toast again.

"What, have you never seen a piece of toast before?" Julie asked. Well, I really hadn't. this was my first time seeing toast. What, its not like I could just say 'its my first time seeing toast! plus, I haven't eaten in decades!' They would not react well to that.

I pushed the plate away and said "I'm not hungry."

"You haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon." Alexander said.

I shrugged. "how old are you?" Julie piped in. Where did that come from? And how was I supposed to know?!

"13." I said. That's how old me Yuki and Angel looked to be.

"I'm older than you! You have to do what I say." She said smugly. No, I wouldn't. I was done taking orders. I'm not going clean for you, I'm not going to fight your wars, I'm not going to obey you, I'm not going to destroy the world.

I stuck out my tongue at her. Before she could retaliate, Alexanders mom said "how would you and julie like to go shopping with Alexander? It could be a nice bonding experience!"

That was the dumbest idea I'd ever heard..... "Sure!" Alexander said. Uuuhhhhhggg...

"First, do you want to tell us a little about yourself? Please, it might help you feel better..." Alexanders mom said. They all looked at me. Ah, the attention was all focused on me... Not something I enjoyed very much. The last time this happened was when those people told me I was a super weapon. Well, even if I am, I'm not going to fight for you. I wanted to fight for Mira, But she-"Alice? Ddid you hear me?" Alexanders mom asked.

"I'm an orphan...." I said.

"Well, we know that, but what experiences have you had? Were you always an orphan? Are you a murderer?" Julie huffed.

"Julie! Don't say that!" Alexanders mom said.

"Well, she has four knives..." Julie retaliated.

"Alice, just tell us a short version of your life, I guess is what I'm asking." Alexanders mom told me.

Well.... I technically was a murderer, even if they deserved it. And my life? Ha, I could say so much, I remember every bit of it. I was created in a grey room. All the halls in the building were grey. That's why I call it the grey place. Mira helped create me, she made my life force. The blue glowing liquid....

"She's awake! She's awake! Its working!! We've done it!!! Hey, hey! Can you here me?! Wake up littlke sweetie, wake up!!" A whiteish blueish haired lady is holding me. I, an infant, open my eyes. The color i see for the first time is the blue necklace on the lady's neck. My eyes turn the same color blue. "Oh!! Ohohoh, ooohh!!" The lady squeals happily. "It worked!! Your alive!!" She says. The lady picks me up and hugs me? I don't know how to react to the situation. "My name is Mira! What do you want to be named, hmm? How about.... Alice!" I hiccup in response.

"Alice? Alice? Hey, Alice?" Alexanders mom snaked her fingers in front of my face. I snaked back to reality. I had a flashback. I needed to stop that. "Alice, are you going to tell us?" I shook my head. "Why not?"

"Its not good to think about the grey place..." I mumble, closing my eyes.

Julie snickered. "The grey place? I can't tell if your lying or being stupid on purpose!"

"Julie!" Alexander's dad said.

I didn't like julie. She was annoying. Yuki was anoyoing, but she was nice at the same time. I wouldn't hesitate to kill her if I had to though... Julie, I just flat out hated her. She was just like everyone else. The same as all the mindless human idiots who plagued me with their stupidity in the world.

"And why are you wearing headphones? Its really rude to wear them when someone is talking to you!" She snatched my headphones away. I quickly covered where my ears would have been. I couldn't hear well anymore. The head phones amplified sound around me into higher wavelengths only I could pick up and let me hear with out ears. So julie basicly ripped my hearing away.

OK,I was going to get such revenge on her. Such a revenge. Julie said something, but I couldn't hear. She looked like she wanted an awnser. "I can't hear you." I said. It must have sounded rude, because julie looked mad. "I still can't, can I have the headphones back?"

Alexander softly pushed my hands away from my head and into my lap. His touch was gental, like Alex's... He tried to move my hair behind my ear, and saw I didn't have ears. He stoped, surprised. I blushed. I normally didn't care when people stared at me, but he just looked so much like Alex.

I covered where my ears would have been again. "Can I have the headphones back now....." I said.

Julie quietly handed them back. I could hear again. "Uhh, what happened to your ears?" Julie asked.

I had come up with a convincing lie, just like the one about the headband being super glued to Yuki's head. "Its a rare skin disorder, I was born without them."

Hopefully they believed the lie, and didn't look it up. I didn't know if it was a real thing or not. "So, your life story...?" Julie said. I guess I could tell them in a way they could understand. Nothing about the superweapon, Mira, Alex, time travel, the magic clock, or any of the people who tried to kill me. Or the ones I had killed.

"I was born and raised in a grey building and when I was 7 I ran away and was taken care of until I was 12 then he was murdered and I was alone." I took a breath. "So I'm an orphan now, that good enough for you?" I said sharply.

They all looked shocked. Alexander stood up. "How about that shopping trip now...?" he had me and julie follow him to his car, leaving his very confused and surprised parents behind us.
