A/N: Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been able to write some new stories, but I hope you enjoy this one!
Alice's POV:
"Stay back!" I exclaimed. The big spider kept coming towards me. I looked around. There were bones everywhere. There wasn't any sight of Oz. I need to transform into B-Rabbit. "Oz!" I called out. There was no reply. "You looking for this delicious creature?" asked the spider. I saw Oz's body wrapped in webs. The spider opened her mouth. "NO!" I screamed.
"No!" I screamed. I looked around. I sighed. It was just a dream. I was having death dreams of Oz I was stuck in my room. I had been kidnapped by Raven. He was a mean man that kidnapped me when I was young. I met Oz at a store when I secretly went out to explore. I plopped back down in my bed. My heart was still beating quickly. I clutched the golden pocket watch that Oz gave me. "Oz", I whispered. I opened the watch and music came out of it. I closed my eyes slowly. The doors burst open. "HEY!" I cried out. "Miss. Alice!" cried out my maid. "What is it?" I asked her. "He is back!" she cried out. "Who is back?" I asked her. "Master Raven!" she cried out.
No. Not the Raven. I didn't expect his return until next week. I ran past the maid and down the marble stairs. There was Raven taking his hat and coat off. "Why are you here so early?" I commanded, "You weren't supposed to be home until next week." "Well, I do fairly miss my Alice", he chuckled. I narrowed my eyes. "I'm not yours", I said coldly, "You don't own me." "You are in my house", he said calmly. "I'll move then", I said. "You have nowhere to go", he said. "I do", I said. "Where?" he asked. He stepped towards me one step. "Why would you want to know?" I asked him.
He grabbed my arm tightly. "I will break your arm if you don't tell me", he said. I scoffed, "Try it." "You know that I will never tell you." His grip began to get tighter. Since I became Oz's partner, I became stronger. I pushed him away. He slammed into the door. He looked at me with amazement. "So you want to fight?" he challenged. "Fight me", I said, "You have kidnapped me, abused me, and used me to rob places." "I'm done with that." He laughed. "Fine kid", he said, "Run away, but I will find you." "I will give you 30 minutes to get out of my house." He went to his office.
I ran up the stairs and went to my room. I looked under the bed and grabbed the book bag full of clothes. I ran down and out the door. I stole a horse and went to Oz's house. I got off and there was Break at the front gate. "Alice, what brings you-", started Break. "OPEN THE DOOR AND HIDE THE HORSE!" I yelled. Break opened the gate and I ran past him, giving him the reigns of the horse. I opened the door and slammed it. "Alice, what are you-", he said. I grabbed his shoulders. "Look, I don't have any time to talk", I said frantically, "I need to hide before Raven comes find me."
"Alice", he said, "He's back?" I nodded. "Well, don't hide away from him", he said, "You know how to fight and you need to show him that you aren't scared of him." The door banged open. "Well, look who we have here?" asked Raven, "Little Alice, with her boyfriend." Oz grabbed my hand. "I give you the power to turn into B-Rabbit", he whispered. He let go and backed away. "Well, looks like your friend doesn't want to get involved", said Raven. He was holding a huge silver sword. He ran at full speed and swung his sword. I bounced back from his attack and I transformed into B-Rabbit. I looked down at him. He looked up surprised. "What the-", he said. I grabbed him by the waist and shot him out the window. "You will pay for this!" he screamed. I transformed back into myself. "He will still come back", I whispered. Oz smiled. "That was really good", he said, "Also, don't worry. " "When he comes back, you will always beat him." I smiled. "Now Sharon will show you where you will be sleeping", he said. I froze. Sharon? I looked up and saw Sharon at the top of the stairs. "Come now, Alice", she said sweetly. Was she his girlfriend or wife?
Why did Oz have a girl in his household? Sharon grabbed my arm and dragged me to her room. "Well, I never thought that Oz would bring a girl", she said. She opened her wardrobe and began to look at the dresses that were in there. "Who are you?" I asked. "Oh, me?" she asked. "I'm his sister", she said. "You are Oz's sister?" I asked. She nodded. "Oz hasn't even brought a girl home", she said, "You are the first girl that he had ever brought home."
She took out a white and blue dress. I looked at it with disgust. "Now you must wear this", she said. She tossed the dress and left. The dress was soft. I slipped it on and went down. Oz was there with Sharon and Break. They were all dressed up ready to go somewhere. Oz looked up and opened his mouth. Sharon smiled and walked up to me. "You look beautiful", she said. She took my hand and helped me go down the steps. "Where are we going?" I asked. "Well", said Sharon, "We are going to a party to find some information on this case that we are working on."
"We need you to help us", said Break. I nodded. "You will have to be by Oz's side for the whole party", said Sharon, "You must not get separated." I nodded again. Sharon smiled. "This is your first mission", she said. "What are we getting?" I asked. "We are getting this envelope that is inside a safe", said Sharon, "It tells us the background information on this criminal that we are after." "Oz, please close your mouth before a fly gets in there." Oz quickly closed his mouth. "Um, we should get going", he said.
He held out an arm for me and I took it. I smiled at him. I could hear Sharon tell Break about us being a great couple. "So is Break and Sharon married?" I asked him. He shook his head. "They are spy partners", said Oz, "but they soon grown to love each other." We went to the place where the party was held. "Now Alice, do you see that man with the white hair?" asked Oz. I saw the man and I nodded. "That is the criminal that we are going to catch", he said, "He stole lots of money in the bank and no one knew he stole them." "He is a magician." I stepped closer to Oz. I saw someone else next to him. "Oz, its Raven", I whispered. Oz nodded. "I know", he said, "We need to hide you from him", he said, "Sharon, Break, you know what to do." Sharon nodded. They went to greet the man with the white hair.
Raven turned and greeted them. Oz pulled me through the crowd. There were security guards everywhere. "How are we going to get through them?" I asked. "Well, there is always a black out", said Oz. Right then, the lights went off. Oz dragged me past the security guards. We entered his room. "Ok, Alice, we have a limit of 30 minutes to break the safe and get out of here", said Oz. I nodded. We ran to the safe and began to unlock it. Oz took out a sheet of paper and began to turn the lock. It clicked and it opened. There was a white envelope in it and Oz took it. He replaced it with a different copy of it. Then the door began to open. Oz froze. "Come on", said a deep voice, "The boss wants us to get the envelope." Oz grabbed my arm and we ran behind the large couch. Oz held me close to him. I was getting hot. My heart bumped with fear. They got the envelope and began to go out. When the door shut, I started to get up, but Oz held me down.
There was a cough. My heart was beating really fast. The person shuffled around and accidently kicked the sofa that we were behind. He grunted. "Careful!" hissed a man. "Sorry", replied another. I recognized the voice. It was Raven. "Have you found the girl yet?" asked the man. "I have, but she won't cooperate", said Raven. "You must find her and you must bring her to me", said the man, "You know how valuable she is to me?" "Yes", said Raven. There was a knock on the door. "Boss, there are some guests that would like to talk with you", said his security. "Until next time", said the man. They both got up and left. Oz's grip began to relax and he got up. "Hurry Alice, we must go", said Oz. He held out a hand and he picked me up. Oz went to the window and began to open it. "We are going out the window?" I asked. He nodded. "It's not that far", he said, "After you." I looked down. Break and Sharon was down there.
"Don't worry, Break will catch you", said Oz. I nodded. I closed my eyes and jumped out. I flew down and then strong arms caught me. I opened my eyes. Oz landed right beside Break. "Come on let's go", he said. We walked back home. As I looked back, I swore that I saw Raven looking out the open window. I shuddered. Oz put his arm around me. "Are you cold?" he asked. I shook my head. "You did pretty well on your first mission", said Oz. I smiled. "There will be many more missions next time", said Break, "We need to get you trained." "Break will help you on your fighting skills, Sharon will teach you how to act, and I will teach you on how to break into things", said Oz. I nodded. "We need to start tomorrow", said Sharon. Oz agreed. When we got home, I went straight to my room and began to change.
There was a knock on my door. "Who is it?" I asked. "Oz", said Oz. I put on my night dress and opened the door. "Come in", I said. Oz came in. "Well, I have something to tell you", said Oz. "What is it that you want to tell me?" I asked. "Well, I wanted to know if you would like to go to the ball with me tomorrow." I looked at him and smiled. I never went to a ball for fun, only for evil doings with Raven. "Sure", I said. Oz smiled. "Well, good night", he said, "Good job today."
When he closed the door, he looked at me one last time and left. I had a warm feeling in my heart. I shook my head. "What's wrong with you?" I asked myself, "Do NOT fall in love with him." "You aren't good enough for him." "He's such a weird guy." I sighed. I flopped on the bed and I looked at the ceiling. I grabbed my purse and opened it. There was the watch. I twisted the knob on top of the pocket watch. It began playing the lullaby. I drifted off to sleep.
Oz's POV:
Ever since Alice came to live with me, I started to have some feelings for her. I went to my room and sat on my chair. I could hear something from next door. It was kind of like a music box playing. I still don't know where my pocket watch went. I don't know where it has gone, but I must find it. It means so much to me.
There was a knock on my door. "Come in", I said. Sharon came in and sat on the chair opposite of me. "Oz, about tomorrow", she said, "We need to make a schedule for her." I nodded. "Yes", I answered. "So I have been thinking that we should do one hour lessons with her from each of us", said Sharon. She continued on and I wasn't really paying any attention to her. I looked out the window. All that came to my mind was Alice. "OZ!" called Sharon. I looked at her. "Yes?" I asked. "I asked you if you liked my idea?" she asked. I looked at her and nodded. "Oh yea sure", I said. I looked at the window again. I couldn't take my mind off of Alice. Sharon got up and shook me. "WAKE UP!" she yelled, "This is important!" I looked at her. "If you can make up a schedule for her, then do so", I said.
"It's Alice isn't it?" she asked. "No", I sighed. She grabbed my face and looked me in the eyes. "It's Alice isn't it?" she asked. I tied to avert my eyes. "No", I said. She pushed me back. "It's Alice", she said. "You are in love with her", said Sharon. She skipped out the room. I groaned and rubbed my face.
Then I went to sleep. I covered my head with a pillow. The next day, I was awakened by Break. He ripped the blankets off my bed and rolled me off the bed. "Master Oz", said Break, "You must get up." "Today is a big day." I groaned. "Five more minutes", I groaned. Break shook his head. "The last time you said that, you slept for three hours", said Break. He went to the bathroom and got a bucket. "I got some bucket of cold water for you-", he started. My eyes opened and I got up. "No Break", I said, "I'm awake." I ran to the bathroom and closed the door.
I sighed. I took a warm shower. After my shower, I began to dress. I went to the dining hall. Everyone was eating. I sat down on the chair. Everyone looked at me. "Well", I said, "Today will be the day where Alice will be trained to become one of us." "Sharon, please tell Alice's schedule."
Sharon nodded. "After breakfast, you will have one hour lesson with me. Then we will have lunch", she said, "After that, Break will teach you how to fight for one hour." "After that you are to be with Oz for the remainder of the day." I looked at Sharon. "Today is the ball, so we must get you ready around four", said Sharon.
Alice nodded. "Now are you done eating?" she asked. Alice nodded. "Then please come with me", said Sharon. She took Alice's arm and dragged her outside. "Master Oz", said Break, "Alice will have a terrible time with Sharon." I chuckled. "Well, I hope she survives", I said. I began to eat.
After I ate, I roamed around the house. I looked out and saw Break with Alice. He was teaching some moves to Alice. She knew most of them. I smiled and walked to the library. There was a man in there. "Who are you?" I asked. I was alarmed. He turned around. It was Raven. "Well, well, well", said Raven, "Look who decided to show up." "Why what's the matter?" "Looks like you have seen a ghost." "How did you get in here?" I asked him. "By the window of course", said Raven. "Why are you here?" I asked him. "Just to warn you", said Raven. "What is there to warn?" I hissed. "That tonight, there will be something that will happen to your dear Alice", said Raven. He smiled. He jumped out the window and left. I shut the window and locked it. I ran to my desk and I had opened the drawer. There was the white envelope. I opened it. It was all the information of the man that we were hunting. His name was Mr. White. He was famous for his magic. He has some criminal records. I looked at other papers. There was some information about his family. There was a picture. He had a daughter. I looked more closely at the daughter. She looked like Alice. I saw a closer picture of the girl. Her name was Alice Baker. I dropped the papers.
I fell to the floor. The door opened. "OZ!" cried out Break. He went to me. "Oz", said Break, "What is it?" He saw the papers and picked them up. "Isn't this Alice?" asked Break. I nodded. Break didn't say anything. "Master Oz", said Break. "I know", I answered. "We can't let Alice know", said Break. I nodded slowly. Break took the papers and put them in the envelope. "Master", said Break, "Do you think Mr. White knows?" I shook my head. "I don't know", I said.
"Keep Alice away from this room", I said. Break nodded. Alice came in to the room. "Oz", said Alice. I looked up. Did Alice hear what we said? "Oz", said Alice, "Come on." She smiled. I smiled back. How did Mr. White abandoned his child? I felt sorry. I got up and went to her. "Come on Alice", I said. I took her hand and took her to the garden. "What are we learning today?" she asked. "First you must try to figure out how to break a lock", I said. I gave her a lock. She began right away. I looked at her.
She looked so innocent. Did Alice know her dad? I was filled with questions. 'Click' The lock opened. I looked at her. "How did you-", I said. "Well, Raven taught me how to open them", she answered. "Alice, do you remember your father?" I asked suddenly. She looked at me with sad eyes. "No I haven't", she said sadly. I only remember his voice. I was kidnapped one night and I woke up in a different house and I stayed there for the rest of my life."
"Sorry to ask", I said. Alice took my hand. "It's ok", she said. She smiled. Sharon came up to us. "Sorry Oz, but I need Alice", said Sharon. I nodded. I got up. "Well, see you later then", I said. I kissed her hand and walked away. I could feel Alice's eyes on my back. "Is something wrong with Oz?" asked Alice. Sharon shook her head.
I went to my room to change to my ball clothes. Raven sent me a warning earlier. I would have to keep Alice by my side. I didn't want to lose her. When six came around, I went downstairs. Alice was there. She was wearing a white dress. She was absolutely amazing. Alice looked at me with her purple eyes. I smiled. She was the prettiest in the house. I held out my arm for her. She took it. We went to the carriage and we rode to the ball.
When we entered the house, many people greeted us. "Oz is this your wife?" asked one lady. I shook my head. "No, she is a friend of mine", I answered. I looked up and I saw Raven there. I gave him a cold glance. He smiled. Mr. White came up to him and looked at me. When he saw Alice, his face became soft and sad. I quickly took Alice to the dance floor. "Do you want to dance?" I asked. She nodded. We slow danced around the floor. Alice looked around. "Oz, I have this weird feeling that Raven is here", she said. I nodded. "He is here", I said. Alice looked at me with scared eyes. "Don't worry", I said, "I will protect you." Then someone tapped me on the shoulder. "Do you mind if I have a turn with this young lady?" asked Mr. White. I froze. "Yes you may", I said. He smiled and danced with Alice. Alice smiled and laughed. Raven came up to me. "Well, I see you know that Alice is dancing with her father", said Raven. I nodded. "If you even dare hurt her", I said, "I will forgive you." Raven laughed. "Well, we will see what will happen", said Raven, "You must know the history of Alice's past." "You kidnapped her", I said. "No I didn't", said Raven.
"I was forced to take her away from her father", said Raven. I looked at him. He disappeared. I looked for Alice. She wasn't on the dance floor. I looked around frantically. I walked everywhere. Alice was gone. I walked out and I saw her there sitting on the steps. I sighed with relief. "Hey", I said. I took off my jacket and put it around her. She looked at me. "Can we go home?" she asked, "I'm a bit uncomfortable going here." I nodded. I called Break and told him that we were going home first. "Come on Alice", I said. We rode on the carriage and went home.
When we arrived, the door was open. I froze. Why was the gate open? "Oz", said Alice. We went inside, and the light turned on. The whole house was a mess. Raven was there looking down at me smiling. "Didn't I warn you?" he asked. There were guys surrounding us. I looked up and Raven. He jumped down and took Alice by the arm. "Well, Alice, you must be coming with me", said Raven. Alice pushed him away. "Leave me be!" cried out Alice. Raven took her arm and pulled her away from me. "OZ!" she cried out. The guys began to hit me. I tried to fight them, but there were too many of them. I just flew to the floor and looked at Alice. "Oz", cried Alice, "Stop stop!" She grabbed a man carrying a stick, but he pushed her off him. I couldn't feel any pain. I began to close my eyes.
"LET ME GO!" cried out Alice, "OZ!" I reached out my hand. "Alice", I thought, "I give you permission to change into B-Rabbit." My hand was stomped on. I was in a puddle of blood. I blacked out.
