Yes, what you're reading right now is true. A collab story by MourningBlack and octicy! This was written by yours truly MournB and chappie 2 will be written by octicy!

Yes, we're aware that it's Blood Dupre and Alice Liddell but this plot has been begging my mind for a LONG time, and decided to make this a collab story because of my armful of fics that need to be updated.

And also, fret not, I need permission to delete this~ :)
Full Summary: Their relationship was never a fairytail. I mean, come on, a cliche story between a Mafia Queen and prince? There was always something holding their strained relationship back, but this time it just got way worse. I mean, Mad Hatter Alice Dupre and Princely foreigner Blood Liddell?

What can life offer you when you walk down a path that seems right to you, but doesn't to anybody else?

I've always wanted to shine, but she was always brighter. Everything I did was supposed to be to mark me as me in this world, but it didn't matter anymore, everything she did always snuffed out my achievements that easily. Now, I can't help but wonder whether or not fate is supposed to play out like this. Were the rules of the game supposed to be stated like this?

Maybe I should have just let the game go on like the usual way... but I couldn't... how could I? He was the special one, he was the loved one, he was the one everyone wanted. What was I then? I can't answer that question, it's as though some shield stops me. Every little detail I do wrong is done right by him. Now, even after we have them; faces' he has the better role. I've always wanted to be a princess, maybe even a queen, but he's up there as the Red King now.

"God help us all"

"Did you say something Alice?" Elliot asked.

"Nothing, just this pesky migraine"

Have you ever felt jealousy flood into your veins? The feel of fire so hot and bright it incinerated and blinded you? Jealousy to a point where the love and happiness inside you is drilled out by anger, regret and ill needs? I... did. I was a faceless you would find but wouldn't approach. Unlike my sister - who is approached by many - I am nothing. Worthless and small, like a bird drowning in water, I can't ever swim.

The faceless I loved with all my heart fell for her and became her king as a Roleholder. Everything I felt for her, pride, joy, praise and unmistakable loyalty were traded for power and strength. And why do you ask I can't move on like all the others? It's because I spent sixteen years wasting away like wood.

"Alice Dupre!" Gowland irritably shouted. Violin transformed into his rifle.

Various amusement park workers were behind him, guns loaded and aimed all at her; famous Mafia Queen Alice Dupre.

"Don't you think this is a little too much Mary?" she purred, tilting her black top hat slightly to the side, the view of the newest foreigner reflected in the corner of her eyes.

"Damn you Dupre! It's all your fault everyone knows!" shouting loudly, Alice and the rest could swear steam was blowing out his ears. Wagging her finger, Alice shrugged the statement off by transforming her top hat into the machine gun she prized most.

My sister finally had a face... before me like always. Lorina was always the first, what did I expect? A role on a silver platter? I'm such a pathetic person was what I would have chanted myself to sleep with. But after that simple day turned extraordinary, I felt it. The feeling of betrayal, sadness, grief and hatred all rolled into one.

More of the faceless' knew now. Evryone loved her like a Goddess while I was left with nothing and no-one now.

Then... I snapped. Like an insignificant twig stepped on, I finally had the chance to make the game more fun. But at what price? I never imagined it to be so... painful and full of hurt. I actually just wanted to live my life as an insignificant being, but I guess that could never happen.

Tell me, what does it feel like to see your belief shape into something entirely different? Memories snatched and replaced with knowledge you didn't and never wanted to know? The feel of your humanity being smashed by a rock over and over again? The Roleholder saying was true after all;

Eyes in exchange for your memories,

Gun's blazed with bullets as both mafia and amusement park residents engaged in combat.

Narrowing her blue eyes, Alice pinpointed a lagging worker like prey. Cocking the bullet she fired. Scarlet painted the body as he slumped down to the floor, dead and unmoving. Grinning slightly, the feeling of guilt swept through her stomach to a point where her lunch was threatening to come out.

"Alice, I think it's time to retreat!" Elliot called from inside a circle of faceless butlers and maid shrouding him like a veil.

Knowledge for your belief,

Grimacing slightly, Alice leapt into the circle. Panting slightly and the feel of vomit on her tongue was disgusting.

"Where are the twins?" she huffed.

"Here Big Sis!" the tweedle twins were back to back behind the circle, bringing up the rear end. A flicker of a documentary about herds and their protection cocoon tactic flashed through her mind for some unknown reason.

and a life for a life.

I'm not sure what went wrong with me. Was I a freak accident? Something like an abomination? I'm not really sure about myself anymore, it's like my brother took everything and everyone to love him.

It's like everything I feel is jealousy, no emotion but that. It's scary really. But now, I'm not sure anymore, I mean, Wonderland seems as a place where... extraordinary things happen, and I don't mean that in a good way either. Yes, Wonderland and all it's inhabitants exist, yes you're thinking that I'm probably nuts, but hey! If me asked me when I was still up there I would've phoned the cops 'cause some psychopath was screaming intangible thoughts and words in a pace too fast to be normal.

But really? Normal meant weird and weird meant normal here so there isn't really much to wonder about.

"How are you Blood?" Julia asked absentmindedly.

Sluggishly mixing the creme and sugar into the cup of coffee. "I wouldn't say good, and I'd be lying if I said I felt horrible. I think I'll go with this; Alice raided the Amusement Park again...," zoning out at yesterdays memory, the foreigner was unaware of the hot liquid sodding his trousers.

"Damn!" swearing under his breath, he hopped back slightly.

"Hnn?"

"Oh nothing Julia, just go back fixing the clock's," smiling softly at the clock fixer, he walked out carefully to the door.

Eyebrow still arched, the blond clock fixer waited for the new "outsider's" footsteps to dissipate before turning back to work on the slightly bloodied clock. "Was that the new foreigner, Blood Liddell?" armed with his sword and mask, Ace entered the room, goofy smile falling slightly at the mentioning of the new outsider.

"Why do you wonder," she asked. Not really paying any attention to the knight.

"Alice has developed an interest in him I think."

Now I'm really confused. The rabbit I saw was wearing a waist coat mumbling a few stuff. No really, I was seriously freaked out to a point where the rabbit - get this - transformed to a man pointing his gun at me. Then this chick wearing an overly decorated top hat actually managed to calm him down, by calming I mean shooting with her hat turned machine gun at him. And you know what the rabbit man did after that? He hugged her. Now I'm seriously doubting my sanity.

But now this actually reminds me of Leonardo my elder brother. Looking back on that, I was always wondering why he needed pets, I mean, we had a goldfish and he ended up starving Mr. Gold to death. Really? Such a wonderful brother he is. Sense my sarcasm.

"What are you doing here?" the Tweedle twins simultaneously said. Eyes narrowed and double bladed axe's pointing at his chest.

Swearing frivolously, Blood chose his words carefully, "I'm here to visit Alice and borrow a book or two. Believe it or not, they're eyes seemed to get more snake like - AKA more dangerous and full of screams in them, more importantly, the screams sounded like mine - and the tense air seemed to get more chilly.

Now I'm really wondering whether or not coming here was dangerous or just pl- "Big sis isn't here." Dee deadpanned. His twin nodded vigorously.

"Where is she?"

No reply, they seemed to be either lying or just plain telling the truth.

"Why should we tell you where Big sis is foreigner? So that you can make her love you as well?"

Envy, a close second to jealousy. I wasn't really sure now.

But now, I'm sure bro would be the one envying me. I mean, here in Wonderland, I'm a foreigner. And yes, I was kind of insulted when they said that, but as a foreigner, everyone falls for me! Though, I have to say, Alice is really popular here. The knight whatshisname and the Tweedle twosome as well as rabbitman all love her, not to mention annoyingrabbithumanchagetoman person. Though, I'm starting to think that the King as well loves her, they meet up in the secret pond InsaneMadHatterAlice says to not go to but I went there anywhere.

The main question is, why do I feel so angry at the many men that fall for her? Shouldn't I be disgusted at how much of a slut she is?

"Might as well go to the Amusement Park again" sighing tiredly, the thoughts of the world above seemed like a distant memory.

Truging tiredly through the forest, Blood sighed heavily when a bramble got entangled whit his coat-tail. Grumbling slightly, he walked there and slowly untied it.

The sudden sound gun-shots filled the air. Everything inside the forest went silent. Voices and foot-steps drifted into his ear. Straining to hear, he slowly untied the bramble bush - emphasis on slowly.

"This place really is beautiful Alice!" that sounded like the Kings voice. But why was Alice there? The feel of something tugging in his heart annoyed and angered him at the same time. Pushing it to the back of his mind, he braved to peek over the bush.

There they were, black tuxedo with a decorated top-hat. Brilliant blue eyes shining dully yet happily at her partner the King of Hearts. Blond hair and green eyes, why wouldn't she fall for him?

Eyes narrowing unknowingly, he gripped the bramble bush until the thorns pierced his skin. Swearing lightly under his breath at the blood soaking his white cuffs, he crept back slowly and reluctantly.

Since I came here to Wonderland, I've been feeling so alive. Even if most of the time everything I feel is jealousy whenever a simple comment about Alcie and her many admirers come up, I've been pretty calm...

Then why do I feel so lonely?

That's right people, this is a COLLAB fic. The next chappie will be written by the ever amazing octicy~! :)
Also, our pen-name seems a little of a mouthful but I found it pretty random - in a good way~! Not MY (MournB's) best work, but I'm proud of it nonetheless~ :")
