She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

"Alice?" Scar blinks, uncertain of her eyes, "Lilith, did you see Alice coming off? She was on the pony in the last turn..."

Saying that, Scar is already running towards the spinning carousel, her breath held, and her eyes darting around frantically as panic grabs her. Alice is gone! She was so certain that Alice took the pink pony, which was now empty as it passed Scar innocently, as if Scar remembered it wrong. "Alice!" Scar shouts, turning around as her whole world spins. Did she just lose Alice? How?! Alice was just in front of her! She didn't even take her eyes off! The fake wooden pony just goes behind the puller for a few seconds, and such a turn loses a whole person?! "Scar, breathe!" Lilith comes to Scar's side, her voice stern and swift, "Do not move in case Alice comes back. I'll find her! Scar!"

Scar wants to cry. She wants to melt down and shout and burst out and blow up the whole entertainment park! But she can't lose it, not right now. Lilith's daughter is missing, and if anyone has the right to panic, it's Lilith. She can't break down now and pull away Lilith's attention. Alice is the priority.

"I'm okay," Scar says, hearing her own voice normal and calm when it's pure red in front of her eyes, and she actually can't even see anything, not even the sky. She keeps her body stiff because she can't even tell which way she's facing, "She went missing the very last turn, I'm sure. You can catch up with her. I'll wait here."

Scar pushes Lilith, remaining still.

Those few, fast words took all her will power. She forces herself to breath, trying to hear over the loud ringing in her ears as she presses her temples, hoping that would help regain her sight.

Alice. She murmurs under her breath. The name that both panics her AND soothes her. She has to hold it together. She can't break down no matter what. Alice needs her.

Gasping a long breath, Scar suddenly regains her sight. Lilith is nowhere to be found. Forcing her hand to stop shaking, Scar dial's Silco's number- "Yes, princess?" Silco picks up instantly.

"Alice is missing," Scar says without hesitation, "The little girl that I visit all the time? She's a friend's daughter-"

"I know her," Silco answers swiftly with a gentle tone, not rude, but also giving out a dominant aura, "Where are you? How did she go missing?"

"We were at the Six Flags," Scar

takes another deep breath to swallow back the crying tone, "She was on the carousel and the next second she was just gone-" I didn't even take my eyes off her, but Scar dares not say.

She ends there, or she would have burst into tears.

"I'm on my way, princess, and I'll return her to you no matter what," Silco says, and Scar hears the door of car opens and closes on his side, "You are doing great by remaining calm and calling me. Be a good girl forme and hang in there, will you? It Will be okay."

"I will," Scar says.

Not for him thought. For Alice. Alice needs her.

Alice doesn't. She wasn't lost. She jumped off the pony she liked herself, and she is watching Scar calling her. "Scar mama-"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Shhh, please don't shout. You can't let her see me, my precious Alice. You are a good girl, aren't you?"

She is a good girl. Alice thinks. So she nods and cover covers her mouth with her two chubby hands. But looking up at him, she's confused. Why do they have to hide from Scar mama?

"You don't like Scar mama?" Alice

asks, her green eyes look exactly like Scar's, all the way from the innocent deer shape to the clear watery

when they look at Sebastian, without the disappointment or the hatred that can't seem to be wiped off these days.

They belong to the little Scar who was lost in the woods.
