She managed to get a moment of free time, actually still working, so the kids were with a babysitter. She actually wanted to check up on them but she should be able to trust a babysitter right? They would manage, maybe she would have to find Judina soon again and ask her for her help with her mother.
Days felt so dark and perhaps that had to do with winter and the dark weather around, many clouds of rain did not make it a brighter day and it made her feel sad and unhappy, which already add up to the whole situation and that only explained more why she was unhappy. The whole situation was unhappy. As she stood, in her moment of weakness, in her lunch break, staring at the dark river in front of her. She wondered what it felt like to drown, would it feel the same? She absolutely had no intention to take her own life, too much to do and too many lives at risks if she would. She held the handle of her sword, clenched her fingers around it so the knuckles turned white. She believed that she had once felt how it was to die. That moment when Lacie did, how she tried to take a breath, how the sound had pierced Alice her ears, the rattling noise of her lungs trying to grab hold of anything and the pain. She had felt so much pain and she could not place it, she had not been hurt or wounded, only a few minor scratches.
The pain had disappeared almost the same way as it suddenly had appeared, at the same moment that Lacie stopped breathing and lost her life. The only reasons that people could tell Alice were that it must be a bond between twins as there was no other explanation. It did not matter, she was lost, everything was lost and she wanted to scream on top of her lungs but all Alice did was stare at the darkness of the river and wonder, wonder what it all meant in the name of the illumin and the divine. Did they have an explanation or so?
