A/N: First HnKnA story! And I just fell in love with Peter White…yes I'm one of those annoying fans of that obnoxious white rabbit, ze. Live with it! Oh and…a tiny bit of spoilers for those who do not know Peter's original personality.
Decided to take Peter's life a big more sadder and tragic. Oh right, in this story Alice chooses Blood. I would've chosen Julius…but ah…what can I say?
Peter stared sadly at the girl, more to say young woman a few feet from him. He was no longer compelled to leap onto her like he did before. Or even turn into his rabbit form. No, he was only compelled to hug her. For congratulations. After all, she had chosen to love the Hatter. Peter's embrace was only gentle enough to make Alice smile and not wince and run away.
He wanted to let Alice's happiness shine through. It was a big need of hers.
After all a gentleman always cares about a lady's need before himself….
Nightmare looked upon the White Rabbit and Alice. Sure outside one could see Peter smiling and happy for Alice. But deep down he was crying, enough to make a river overflow by dawn. Alice was cheerful too, but she finally said adieu to Vivaldi, Peter, and Ace at the castle of Hearts.
Finally Peter turned cold once more and shrugged a shoulder at the smiling Vivaldi and Ace. He turned away and shot dead all the maids and butlers in his way. It would take a miracle to make him happy again. Vivaldi then stooped low at a maid's head. Blood seeped out from her chest. One could even faintly hear her clock still ticking for a few more breaths of life. But in the end, everyone knew where it would end up. In the hands of the afterimages, or someone else, and then finally in the hands of Julius the one who fixes clocks. Who then lets a person reborn after the umpteenth time…
Nightmare sighed. He waited a few moments. It was nighttime once more. And finally he saw Peter. Again he looked at the cold White Rabbit, he placed a gloved hand at his chin and looked at him.
"Peter, why did your morality turn so greedy?"
"I don't know."
The Incubus tilted his head, and then read Peter's mind. The Rabbit only flinched but Nightmare went on. In his mind Nightmare could read that Peter was remembering all the good times he had with Alice. To him it was every meeting…a new memory to add to his collection. Good or bad he treasured it all. Nightmare flicked an eye of interest. Then Peter couldn't hide his pain anymore.
He wept tears of sorrow. His gloved hands wiped away his tears that stained his clean gloves wet and gray.
Nightmare didn't need any words. He read it all. After all, it was Peter who led Alice here. Made her drink the potion. He was the reason why Alice met everyone. And in the end, he said that he was rewarded with Alice's happiness. But in this time and age, happiness was worth absolutely nothing.
Nightmare started to fade away from Peter's dream. And before too long…morning had awakened everyone.
Peter awakened to the sounds of maids sweeping. He put on his glasses and sat up on his bed. It was another day. Another meeting. Another parting. And another heartbreak.
This time he held back the tears. But the knife in his heart couldn't be sheathed.
A/N: Poor Peter…I love him and yet I make him so sad…why did I do that? Because I want people to start loving him too!
