It's official; Alice has now permanently left Wonderland. No one seems to have saw the obvious coming. I glanced up from my work spying Boris draped over the window of the operating hut, practically dead from shock. She's been telling me that for a while now. I heavily yanked on the wrench tightening the propeller on the cooling system for the Ferris wheel.
"Stop moping around Boris." I scrunched up my nose in annoyance and tapped his head with my wrench. He's blocking my view to the Ferris wheel. I jerked back, shocked at his flushed and tear filled eyes.
"B-But Alice - ...," he cried falling back into his depressed state. Good gosh I had no idea Alice leaving would have this sort of effect on Boris; and everyone else in Wonderland too. They all seem dead in the freaking head. I huffed shoving the object in question into place with a quick jab.
"Ouch-!" I hissed hastily withdrawing my hand. I glared at the stupid cut on my finger before deciding to ignore it; whatever. Who cares. A little pain never killed anyone before. I slipped my wrench out, twirling it in my hands before pocketing the stupid thing.
"Come on Boris get up. I need to fix the Ferris wheel before tomorrow." I growled again tapping his head. What is wrong with this thing? Maybe it's not getting enough power? No, that can't be it; the power cords are still intact.
"Mrrrrrrrrraaaaaoooowwllllll Alice~~~!" He pathetically sobbed refusing to budge. I growled at his disobedient reply and curled my fist around his tail.
"Move! I need to check the circuit breaker." I growled, yanking on it. He yowled and leapt off scurrying off somewhere else to mourn Alice's leaving. Who cares? She was a nice girl who decided to go home because she could. I scowled recalling my hardly full vile. How in the world did she get hers so full? I've met people but I haven't had it fill up at all. Maybe I need to make relationships with people?
Blech. That sucks. I stink at making friends.
"Huh? Ah, Jackie...," a voice muttered. I glanced over my shoulder spying Mary's tired face. He loudly yawned barely covering up the monstrous thing as he looked me over.
"You're still working on this?"
"Yeah."
"Ha! Just like my studious little foreigner~," Gowland cried, suddenly boisterous and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I huffed out a smile. Ah, well at least Gowland seems to be alright. He's taking it much better than anyone else I've seen. I wonder how the Hatter is doing? I've heard that he had taken a liking to Alice and was, debatably, her lover. I wonder what he looks like? From what I've heard from Gowland though he sounds like a complete demon with horns and even the devil's tail. I guffawed at the thought imaging an overweight mafia boss with such characteristics. But, on the other hand, I can't imagine Elliot working for a guy like that.
"Hm...," I hummed along scanning my eyes over the electric board. Nothing seems to be out of order. Maybe it's deeper inside?
"Jackie, this is no good! You need rest~," he hummed swaying backwards. I huffed painfully and desperately grappled for his arm before he slipped from my grasp, smacking hard into the ground. I cringed from the hard hit his head just took from the impact on the ground.
"Oh crap-! Gowland, are you alright?!" I shouted before spying a vodka bottle in his hand.
"Gowland are you drunk?!" I hastily covered my nose literally smelling the buckets that he's ingested in his foul breath. Gross...
"Happily buzzed~," he sang laughing away.
"Ugh...alright, let's get you in bed at least." I grumbled, forcing him to his feet. He flopped around aimlessly as I pulled him along trying to make it to his apartment before he fell on the ground. He's too heavy for me to drag at all. The entire time I guided him he stumbled every few steps, needing my arm for balance. Mary...never used to drink this much. It this all because Alice left? My eyes narrowed. I see...she really is affecting everyone. That sucks. I sighed in sympathy. I'm not going to lie; I kind of miss the girl too. She used to swing around here just to see me which was nice. Or whenever she needed a buffer for Peter stalking her.
A sudden shattering of glass arose as we approached the entrance where Gowland normally stays. I glanced up spying a sketchy looking character dressed all in black hop out of the pay booth with a block rectangle in hand. The funds - ?
"HEY-!" I barked glaring at the intruder. He jumped slightly, casting his gaze over me and Gowland's drunken state. A shutter ran up his spine as he immediately took off. The income for the day. Which means my income. Which means - !
"THAT'S MY MONEY!" I screamed dropping Mary to the ground as I darted for the robber. I skidded around the entrance barely catching the tail end of his foot as he made a sudden turn down an alley. Like heck I'm going to let him get away with that-! I followed him foot for foot steadily gaining on him as he flitted around town, dipping into nearby streets and such in a vain attempt to lose me.
I cut into a different alley as he continued down the path with one way out to the streets. I huffed loudly at the exertion of continuous running; I need to work out more. I pushed myself to the limits as I sprinted down the long hall launching myself out into the street as he entered my path with precise timing. My momentum threw us both off as we crashed onto the ground, the container of money skidding away from him.
He leapt to his feet and dashed forward before I caught his foot making the poor man stumbled to the ground. As he got on all fours I jumped onto his back kicking his inner knee. He gasped as he fell taking me weight to the ground. I snatched hold of his hand and yanked it back twisting it to the point of nearly breaking it.
"Yow-!" He howled in agony as I pit my weight against him.
"Give it back!" I shouted forcing him into submission.
"Get off me!"
"No! You stole from me!" I hotly argued back struggling to hold him down. He's strong-!
"I need it! Now get off-!" He shouted snatching a fistful of hair and throwing me to the ground. I huffed painfully as he leapt up ramming his foot into my stomach. I convulsed as he ran towards the box. Heck no-! As soon as he got his grubby little hands on it I spun around and delivered a powerful kick to his head. He stumbled back as I snatched the box holding it close to my body. He coughed, wiping the blood from his lips as he glared over me with hateful, non existing eyes.
"This. Is. Mine." I hissed setting the box down behind me as I readied myself again.
"I guarantee I need it more than you do!" He shouted desperately as he leapt at me. I jumped back and lunged forward in the same motion, knocking his fist up as I delivered a quick, powerful jab beneath his arm pit. He sucked in a quick breath and stumbled back, startled as he breathed heavily. I again readied myself taking a defensive position.
"Again; this is mine, not yours." I growled glaring defiantly at him. He growled under his breath as he slipped something from his pocket and launched himself at me. I sucked in a quick breath as the glinting object skimmed my arm before I popped out my wrench regretfully bringing it down over his temple. The man shuttered, dropping on the spot. I huffed loudly as I looked at my new found wound; it's only a cut. It won't kill me. I sighed and stepped over him before pausing. Without warning I spun around and kicked his kidney, ensuring that he would feel it when he wakes up.
"Don't take what's mine." I growled, aggressively yanking up the proceeds and hurried back to the amusement park. Ugh...these robberies are happening more and more often. I need to reinforce the glass. Or maybe add bars? But then again I'm sure whoever is working it won't appreciate being in a jail cell. I sighed. What can I do to ensure that no one else will take things?
BLOOD'S POV
My blood churned excitedly as the wounded foreigner waltzed off with her rewards in arm. Ho~ I stumbled onto something interesting. I didn't know foreigners were capable of fighting. Elliot's glare was fierce enough to kill as he showered daggers over the indebted man. He told me that he would have the money in time but I never imagined he would steal it from the amusement park; or count on a foreigner chasing him down. I chuckled. How pathetic. Taken down with such ease by a mere girl...
"That b******...how dare he try to hurt Jackie!" Elliot growled protectively pulling out his gun at the groaning man. I raised my hand telling him to hold.
"Jackie?" I asked, perplexed. That girl...I suppose Alice did mention someone of that name. But then again we were a bit...preoccupied at the moment.
"Yeah?" Elliot responded puzzled by my questioning sentiment before it hit him. "Ah, I suppose you've never met her. She's a new foreigner who has already found a role here; the amusement park's engineer." He noted still baring his teeth at the awakening faceless. Hm...now that's rather interesting. I wonder how different she is from Alice? I guffawed. While everyone else is 'mourning' that wench's loss maybe I should go ahead and steal this 'Jackie'? Alice was fun but she was beginning to get boring anyway. My clock lurched slightly at the mere thought of her name. Hmph; what should I care? She was only there for my amusement. My object of interest has left and therefore I need a new one.
"Elliot."
"Hm?" He asked glancing over his shoulder.
"Invite this Jackie character for tea; I wish to personally meet this interesting girl." I commanded watching as the faceless groveled at my feet.
"I-I'm so sorry Mr. Hatter! I swear I'll have the money by tomorrow-!" He loudly begged for forgiveness.
"That is what you said last week. Dear Mr. Faceless...do you know why I agreed to come here in person?" The faceless's face blanched as he scurried off in a mad attempt to flee. I sighed and raised my gun.
So cute; he thinks he can run from me?
