Mrs.Jade walked out of the kids' room and walked to the other side of the hallway. Mrs.Jade went to the first classroom and there was a red circle by the desk of Mr. William's. All the desks were covered in blood but two desks were clean, Alice's and Ace's desks. The only two that were clean from any blood although their desks were warm to the touch.

Mrs. Jade opened the book on Mr.William's desk filled with notes and records on every student. Nothing that's the norm. She walked around the room and felt like eyes were watching her from behind. She turned around and it was a figure standing there. Was it her imagination? Was it a ghost of a student? Or was it Mr.William?

The figure went closer to Mrs.Jade as she was frozen in fear. Mrs.Jade couldn't move like she was numb or even paralyzed. Then the figure got closer and whispered something in her ear.

"Look under the desk Jade,'' The figure whispered.

"Under the desk," Ashley whispered.

The figure disappeared and Mrs.Jade could move again without feeling cold. Mrs.Jade looked under the desk and saw a book titled "Alice and Ace" She picked it up and dropped it on the desk. Mrs.Jade grabbed the chalk and crossed out the red circle on the floor.

Mrs.Jade heard the loud sound but it didn't affect her this time. Although her heart still raced like a rabbit running from a wolf. Mrs.Jade opened the book and there was writing on three pages the first page was titled "Alice". Mrs.Jade took a deep breath before reading the page.

Page 1: "Alice"

Alice was a smart young girl. Alice was a little sparkle of sunshine! Alice would help around the orphanage and hoped everyone would be taken into new good homes before her. Alice knew no one wanted her. Alice had Alice as a friend and knew he was all she needed. Alice started acting weird after a while and she didn't feel well. She was pale as a ghost.

Page 2: "Ace"

Ace was a quiet and kind child. Ace left her at a very young age. Ace is one year older than Alice and they act like siblings that never fight, but they are there for each other. Like they are in this together or there in this alone. Ace started getting ill like Alice exactly like Alice. Alice was worried about Ace not going to class as her illness wasn't that bad. Alice would check on Ace and sometimes stay with him. You could tell Ace loved having Alice around him with the little smile he had.

Page 3: "Alice and Ace"

Ace and Alice are not siblings but act like kind, loving siblings. Ace would help Alice with schoolwork and help her study. Once Alice started a women's problem Ace went to help her through it. Ace would be happy when Alice was around him. I noticed they would sit with each other and do everything together. They would write notes for all the kids and teachers. Then once I started getting ill everything changed. They never show up to class or eat and sleep. They were quiet like they were a doll with no voice.

"Alice and Ace were great kids," Mrs.Jade said with tears rolling down her face.

"It still bothers me what the illness was," Mrs.Jade spoke softly, putting her backpack on the desk.

This illness was so bad to make them have no voice like a doll stilling on a shelf. Dolls sitting there waiting for someone to pick them up and take them home to love.
