He was frustrated. He wanted the one girl back. He longed for her. He craved for her. Never in his life did he think he would feel so deeply about a single girl. She was making him do stuff that he shouldn't be doing. His mind thought that by killing and torturing more people than usual, that it would replace that void that she has left. But no matter how many victims he's murdered, his body longed for her. He wouldn't admit it to himself but he knew that this girl meant so much to him. Everyday he wakes up hoping that everything was just a dream and that she was just a few doors down the hall. And everyday he'd grow angrier and sadder still hoping that she would come back

The night is dark and cold. Everyone is asleep. All except for Alice. She knew what she had to do. She didn't want to leave but the longer she stays, the closer James is to finding her. Who knows what he would do. He was a man so twisted and mental that he was beyond repair. Alice knew what she was getting her self into. Yet she was willing to risk it all. As time passed by, she began missing the psychopath living a few doors away from her. She would catch herself at times thinking about him. She knew she cared about him in a sick, twisted way. And she hopes that he cares about her, even for the slightest bit.

Alice dresses in all black. She has decided to finally return to Los Angeles. Back to hotel Cortez. Back to James Patrick March.
Her small bag has been packed inside her bag. A small book she holds in her right hand. She slowly walked a towards Peggy's room. She quietly opened the door and peek her head through. She see's the beautiful figure of the small child asleep as she clutches a small teddy bear to her chest. Alice quietly walks over to her side and place the book she was holding onto the girls bedside table.
'Liber de vita et morte'
The book of life and death
She promised the girl that she would teach her magic. And Alice was not one to break a promise. Even if she won't be here to teach her personally, the little girl will learn just as she has.
She quietly stepped out of her room, closing the door after her. Alice drew a deep breathe before making her way down the hall and into the living room where Ben has been sleeping for the past few weeks. She felt tears begin to prickle her eyes. She kneeled down so she could look at his face. The face of the man who made her feel normal. The man who gave her the one wish she's always dreamt of. This place felt like home and she feels as if she's leaving her family.

"I'm sorry Ben. I hope you understand why I have to do this. Thank you for giving me a taste in what a normal life would be" a lone tear escaped from her eyes. She reaches up and wipes away the tear. She leans over and places a kiss on his temple. She stands up once more as she made her way to the kitchen. Then through the back door. She turns to face her new home before disappearing into the night.
