"…That should be me, not her," Alice said through clenched fists as she watched Rose walk cheerfully alongside Mark.
Alice couldn't take it anymore, she had been walking behind Mark and Rose since they set out, watching the vampire laugh and press herself against Mark's arm as if he were her personal property.
Every laugh from Rose and every centimeter she moved closer to her lord, Alice felt something inside her chest tighten a little more.
'I have to go over there.'
Alice didn't know exactly what she was going to say when she got there, she had no plan, no excuse prepared.

"Alice?"
"Master, something is—"
"Master."
Yuki's voice resonated directly inside everyone's heads, making Alice go quiet all at once.
