Aura looked at Chi and said “this wasn’t her plan was it? For you to bring her here? Chi…please tell me you didn’t trick that sweet girl” 

Dante said “chi does what he wants…but he is a sly kitty…we will have to see” he smirked and added “but will you follow her down the rabbit hole, kitty? Or let dear Alice fall to the Queen of Hearts…”

Ash looked down and said “I know what I’m making…it’s why I’m trying to keep it secret…why I can’t let others get involved…I won’t risk others well being for me. It would be wrong. It’s why I didn’t want to get chi wrapped up in my affairs…” her hands were shaking as her shadow moved on its own. She grabbed her hands and closed her eyes “no not now…calm down Ash…calm down…” the look in her eyes were giving her away for the first time. Fear. Guilt. Stress.
