"So, Elliot. Would you rather be killed by me, or Oz-kun?"

I smiled at the man with long blonde hair as I pictured Oz Vessalius laughing at the party that had gone to hell not that long ago.

"Neither."

The B-Rabbit's bladed chain struck Humpty Dumpty, and I winced as the same wound affected me.
My breathing was ragged as I looked back up at Vincent with his red and yellow eyes.

"Killed by the likes of you? Don't make me laugh. This is something I have to take care of myself. I won't allow this."
"I won't burden him. How could I burden that brat with the weight of my life?" I thought as all the negative emotions that had been pushed down for so long woke up. "I'll bring them with me."

I opened my mouth, ready to reject my chain, but I remembered one more thing. "I promised that brat and Sharon I would go with Leo to their stupid tea party. Damn it. Why did it have to end up like this?"
I clenched my fists and looked up again.

"I..... Humpty Dumpty...I reject you."

I hated how my voice wavered slightly.
I looked at Vincent to make sure he would keep his promise. He nodded his head silently.
The last thing I heard before darkness took me was Oz and Leo turning towards me, saying my name as Humpty Dumpty dissapeared, screeching.

~~~~~~~~~~
I blinked my eyes open, coughing slightly.
It looked like the lights were turned off and when I moved my hand, I heard the swish of water. I was slouched against a wall with about an inch of water covering the floor.

My memory was hazy when I tried to remember what happened, and I bent a leg, about to stand up.
In a flash, I remembered what had happened. The party, Isla Yura, the orphans from the House of Fianna, my mother, and Humpty Dumpty.

"Didn't I just.....die?"

I looked at the floor as my eyes adjusted to the gloom and my hair shifted so it was in my face.
"My hair was never this long," I thought as I moved to brush it back, leaning against the wall.
I froze.
From the tiny specks of light floating around, I could see that my hair was blue. Dark blue. And long enough so that it was in a small ponytail that draped over my shoulder.

I looked up, something clanging quietly by my left ear. I put a hand to my ear and realized I had on an earing. It was dangling and felt like there was a gem attached to something shaped like a small hourglass.

"Where am I?" I thought, standing up, and looking around.

The place looked familiar, but I couldn't think of why. I turned around and gaped. The wall I had been leaning against was just a broken section that was floating above the water slightly.

Now I remembered. The broken wall, the water, the darkness, and faint cold; it was how Break, Alice, and Oz had described the Abyss.
