Faded Fear || Jonathan Crane (ON HOLD)

005 - Help

It's been a couple days since I arrived here, wherever that was. Jervis had stored me in a room, it was empty and damp. Cold, too.  Did he hate Alice, enough to make him be rude to me? I hadn't done anything. I simply obliged to everything he asked.

I had almost forgotten about Jonathan and Edward. Jonathan, he was annoying, but, he had helped. I almost made it off the island because of him and Edward. As much as I wanted to say I didn't miss them, I couldn't. Because I'd be lying. I missed Edward more than Jonathan, though. I didn't like being alone, I had always hated it. But here I am, alone in a cold, dark room. God, all I wanted was to go home.

"Alice! Dinner," I hear the, now annoying, voice of Jervis Tetch.

Oh great. It was always a gross oatmeal or porridge he fed me. But I was hungry and ate it anyway. If I didn't, he'd yell at me. My stomach growled at the thought of better food. The door unlocked, revealing a short, ginger haired man. Jervis Tetch. There was something off. I could tell. I felt it. Jervis seems shaky, and worried.

"Jervis? Are you alright?" I ask. I suddenly felt concerned and I didn't know why. Gross.

"Why, of course I am. Alice, what would make you ask such a silly question?"

"Well, uh-"

"Alright, Jervis! Let her out!" A voice calls out, interrupting me. It sounds like Jonathan. Had he come for me? But why?  I stare at Jervis for a while until he speaks.

  "Well, you heard him! Go!" His voice cracks and he sniffs. I can easily see tears in his eyes. I hesitantly get up, then slowly walk out.

"Who's out there?" I asks

"Help," a simple reply. It sounds like Edward. My stomach does summersaults as I smile.

Well, it's short. But, I bet you already knew that.

Anyway, Lilian is out now (she wasn't even held captive for long but, eh) so, they can get back to arguing and escaping Arkham Island.
