Now that Big Stach was dead, it was all over, wasn't it? The kids were free.
Alice walked up to Diane and reached out for her but she shuddered, as if scared, which made Alice pause.
Was she scared of her?
She looked at the other kids, who drew back, also scared, and then she looked down at her hands. Did she go too far?
She disregarded that thought and took off the crushed gauntlet from Diane's hands. She was still shaking and though Alice felt she was shaking like that because she was scared of her, Diane's horrid gaze was fixed on the lifeless body of Big Stach.
Alice just felt it was because of her and did not stop to think that it might've been what had happened to her earlier that suddenly surfaced after the commotion had died down.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. They were free now, so they could do whatever they wanted.
Diane's hands were already healing up since the elixir was still fresh in her system.
