Warped Tears

The room was silent

Silent like the aftermath of a death, where it was so sudden no one could react. Where no one made a sound as to not make the moment real. Silence so thick you could drown in it, yet also more fragile than a sheet of ice

And shatter it Alice did

It started as a change in her face, her teeth seemed to sharpen then go dull, only to once more lengthen, her ear grew points before returning to their normal shape, but the most noticeable change was her eyes. They seemed to be constantly shifting from blue to red, or purple

It was as if her entire existence was warping and fighting against his nullification

Finally, her eyes two different colours and her teeth moving, she opened her mouth and let out a sound "WhY, ArE yOU DoINg THis" her voice warped and shifting. Cane could almost see the fighting between the two different personalities through her eyes and expression. He could have answered but instead chose the path of staying silent and letting her continue

"WhAt Did WE dO?!, tO dEsErVe BeIng IN ThIs PlAce!?" veins were popping out on her forehead and white throat, tears were flowing freely "Why ArEn't YoU RUnnInG?!?!" she seemed to be having a complete breakdown, and couldn't keep her two selves separate

Rising from his chair slowly and throwing back the last of the glass he had poured, he made his way towards her, slowly, step by step. She watched him for a few moments before realizing he was getting closer to her, and then reacted

"NoOooO!, sTay BAcK!!" she screamed curling up into a ball on the couch, her now clawed and twitching hands on the sides of her head, he stopped for a few seconds before continuing to cross the small distance between them, stepping over the now conscious and trembling guard on the floor and crouching in front of the small terrified girl. She seemed to be almost trying to shield herself but was instead drawing blood from her head accidently with her claws and painting her silver hair with strokes of red

Giving a reassuring smile and placing a hand on one of the ones on her head and slowly, gently prying them from her face, careful to make sure the now grown talons didn't cut her or himself. Meeting her gaze, he said "Alice its okay… they are gone… and I am here" he peered into her eyes and found a mix of emotions swirling alongside the colours, "Which one are you talking to?" she whispered, looking at him with teary eyes of red and blue, her bottom lip was trembling, but one side of her small mouth was tilted up in the faintest of smirks

"It doesn't matter" he whispered back, gently taking her small hands "you are both my patients after all" he knelt there for nearly half an hour, just looking into her eyes and holding her hands, as she would let out a small whimper or even a small growl, all the while crying

Eventually He noticed that while freaking out she had snapped the small cuff on her wrist and it was hanging off her wrist like a bracelet, digging into her skin and cutting her

He began to stand once more and slowly turned in order to go and get the keys but as he did he felt two small hands grab roughly onto the back of his shirt, taking it in an almost iron grip and pulling him back

"DoN'T LeaVE!!" Alice nearly screamed at him from the couch, her eyes turning a vibrant purple and nearly falling off the couch during her fierce tug on his shirt, turning back to her he saw desperation and fear on her face… a dangerous amount of it

Letting out a tired sigh he gently turned back to her and began to gently lift her it his arms, being as slow and gentle as needed as to not scare her. As he made his way back to his small couch and safe only a few meters away he didn't see her face turn a red colour that seemed to vary in tint and depth depending on her eyes colour, with blue being near scarlet and red eyes sowing a much smaller pink hue

Placing her on his seat he took a small metal key and unlocked the cuff from her wrist before taking out a small first aid kit from the far wall, she never let go his shirt the entire time as he treated her wrist and all of the small cuts and abrasions she had gained likely during her scuffle with the guards or possible from rubble that flew out when she through said guard through the wall

He continued to check on her condition until the guards finally arrived all of an hour after she had gained freedom… he would need to talk with them about that. As they arrived her reassured Alice and she allowed them to albeit hesitantly restrain her without putting up a fight although Cane had to step in when they tried to put her in a muzzle.

As they began to escort her back to her cell, or more likely solitary confinement she walked up to him despite having more than six guns aimed at her and wrapped her arms around him, not saying a word before blushing and leaving as he watched her go
