Alice's eyes shine white again, her attention fixed softly on Eddy. She lowered herself and buried her face in his chest. She clung to him like a child clinging to their parent fearing their first day of kindergarten. "I am now." She said, her voice muffled and light, yet so unstable and hoarse. Her wings drooped to her sides and she let him hold her. She moves her hands and they were unfrozen.
Finnick runs immeadiately to Hailey. He checked her wound. "Are you okay?! Did anything tear?" He asked, his eyes frantically checking her skin, his fingers lingering on her tank top trying to find the wound that was now a scar. He stood in front of her again, not waiting for a reply. "Why do you hate me?!" He screamed at Alice, which made her flinch violently in the strange male's arms.
Alice turned, her voice shaky and her hands balled into little fists. "You let her die, Finnick..." She said, and then her voice got louder. "You killed her! YOU KILLED HER!" She said, and with that, she pounced on him, slamming his head onto the time floor. "You killed.." She said,"My child! Not Ella's! Mine! That evil witch told me if I didn't give Melanie to her she would tell everyone! She told me they would dissect me in a science lab like they do the mutant freaks!" She said, shoving his shoulders into the tile with extreme force. "YOU LET HER DO IT! SHE HURT HER, FINNICK! SHE HURT YOUR NIECE!" She said, losing her voice. She sat on his chest. "You were supposed to protect me when dad died, Finnick... But you..." She sniffed, her black tears staining his shirt. "You left me to die.. You abandoned me. And then I found the FunHouse. I haven't been outside of this building for twelve years. TWELVE YEARS FINNICK!" She said, her eyes welling as she leapt off of him and went back into Eddy's embrace.
Finnick's sight had become blurry, and he tasted blood on his tongue. He saw a blurry figure leap off him, and into thin air. It really wasn't thin air, he just was unable to see that far. His shoulders were bruised. His ears rang loudly with white noise, but he could hear his sister speaking. "Twel... Ears... Finn.. Ck!"
