ON OUR OWN

"TENGOKU E NO MICHI WA JIGOKU KARA TSUNAGATTERU"

After the kids managed to escaped the house and were running for hours,they finally stopped when they were far enough from the house.Donny and Mervin inspected the area for their safety,Puspa and Janice were cleaning the area for them to take rest before continuing they're adventure.

Alice stood far away from the rest of the kids.She was touching her left ear as she was making sure of something hidden in it.She was also holding a box that was belong to Norman.She was looking at it and tried to open it even its quite hard for her.Charles was helping the rest of the kids making preparations for they're breakfast as the Sun started to rise from its slumber until he realized that Alice weren't there with them.

"Anyone seen alice.?"

"Ohh,she said she wants to be alone for awhile but she said she won't be far.I think,she's probably right there."Helena said while pointing at her west.Charles thanked her before proceeding to meet Alice.

There she was.Still focusing on the box while playing with her left ear.

"Heyooo!"Charles greeted her and she was surprised with that.She hit Charles but not to hard.

"Don't you ever do that again.We're in the middle of no where and you scare me like you was some kind of a beast."

"Relax Alice,I'm here with you.I'll protect you no matter what.I won't even let you get a scratch.Anyway,whatca get there.?"He said while pointing at the box Alice was holding.She raised the box for a clearer look and showed it  to him.

"This was Norman's.Ben gave it to me along with the instructions."

"Why it got Krone's name on it.?Wait a minute....Krone..hum could it be sister Krone from mama's story.?"

"Perhaps."She said lowly.She still shocked with the truth that she was indeed Mama's daughter but Charles haven't knew about it yet.She wants to hide it from him as he was still pissed with Mama.

"Anyway"she continued as she finally manage to opened the box."Huh,a pen.How wonderful"she said sarcastically.

"Hold on.Maybe this could be our next lead."Alice was clueless with the statement and this made Charles quite annoyin with her and he proceed explaining his theory,"Just like William Minerva's book,this pen might lead us to,huh what do you called it,huh yes....."wonderland"..Hahahah"he said but then again he got hit but this time on his head.

"Try do something with the pen.Maybe it got some hidden message in it.Just like William Minerva's book."Alice did as she was told and then the pen let out a holographic with several numbers in it.

"I wonder what this numbers mean."Charles then snapped his finger as he figured out the answers already which surprised Alice once more.

"Coordinates."

"I beg your pardon."

"Those numbers are coordinates.Look carefully,00-00 is where we're started which is Grace Field house.B06-32,well maybe the same plant like Grace Field or based on my theory, perhaps...."

"A safe zone."Alice said and Charles nodded.Alice was displaying a worried face before continued,"I don't know Charles.I just don't want to risk our life.But if you're theory is correct,maybe we can stay there for a while before move on to our plan B which is save the rest of our siblings."Charles put his hand on her shoulder and gave her an encouraging smile.

"No need to said it Alice...I know that you're next line would be'I want to talk about the tracking device'.."

"Indeed.Well you remembered that Mama told us that each and every single one of us got a tracking device planted in our ear since we were born.I think we should take it of from us so that they will unable to track us anymore and we will be on our own."

"How are we going to...hold on don't tell me that...."Before Charles could finish his line,Alice called out for Annie and Caesar.Both of them were carrying bags which were filled with medical supplies.Annie took out a scalpel afterwards.

"Huh....this is gonna hurt a bit."

"Don't worry Charles,it will be quick.Caesar,please take out the bandages and antibiotics for the cleaning."Caesar did as he was told and Charles bent down to make it easier for Annie to removed the tracking device.

"Don't worry Charles.These two know what they're doing.It's they're thing you know."Alice said with an encouraging smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well,this is disgusting."Donny said.

"Yeah,indeed.A sack filled with kids ears.How wonderful"Mervin said in sarcastic tone.

Alice was the last one to put her ear in it and Caesar tied the sack afterwards.He threw it far away from them after tied it tightly.

"Whose hungry.???"Helena said and then the peace turn into havoc as the boys were excited with breakfast.

"Breakfast."

"Holy cow,I'm starving."

"What a good thing to start a day with."

The girls just laughed as they watched the boys acting like that,They all proceed eating they're breakfast and talked with each other as nothing bad happened to them.They were enjoying the moment after an exhausted night.

After breakfast,Several of the kids were relaxing and taking a good rest before continuing they're adventure.Alice was writing in a journal that was belong to Ben.

'We manage to removed the tracking device safely
and we had a good breakfast .
We discovered a new lead to our
promised Wonderland from a pen that was belong to
Norman or someone else.It might lead us to a safe place
or the next plant.We don't know.
I just hoping that everything will be safe and we all
can live happily after all of this end.'

'Onward shin sekai'

Alice then closed the book and took a rest.
