Alice cringed softly as a bright light erupted from pretty much thin air. She brought herself up to where she was sitting on her knees, the twisted rod still stcuk in her chest and in the ground. She attempted to touch it, but coudn't bring herself to move it, fearing the pain. She looked up, raising her head slowly as if was weighing her down. Alice saw man, light blonde hair and he looked right around her age, maybe a bit older. She stared at him, her eyes half shut. Blood ran down the corner of her moth, just a tiny streak of crimson red. She coughed, more blood arriving with the violent cough. She stared at him. He looked slightly upset, even before he saw Alice's half dead body. She saw his eyes widen once he spotted her. She lowered her head, unable to focus that much energy into a action. Alice stared at the rod and coughed again. Small hot tears gathered at the corners of her eyes, and hit the dark decayed ground with a tiny plopping noise. "I didn't expect to die this.....abruptly." Alice said to him, her voice clouded with sadness and misery. She looked up slowly, rasing her head to look at him once again, seeing the sword on his waist, his hand placed on it's hilt.
"There are so many of you......the ones with swords.....who slay the monsters...Hollows...I think that's what they're called." Alice said to him, her voice still a soft whisper, but clear. She sighed sadly from the pain, and placed one tiny pale hand on piece of the rod that had peirced her back, rasing her hand ever so slowly around her shoulder. She grasped, her hand getting gradually colder. She screamed as she yanked it through her, the end of the rod that was placed in the ground exiting through her back. The edge of the rod had also severed one of her lungs, giving Alice moments left. She threw the rod to the side and it went through a crumbling stone headstone with a slight crack of the granite it was made out of. She collapsed onto the ground, as blood pooled beneath her and dripped from her lips. She closed her eyes, waiting for her last moments to end, yet still able to listen to the blonde man with the sword.
