(A/N): This is my first story/fanfic ever. Since I'm currently reading Pandora Hearts, might as well make a fanfic ~

8D

"AHHHH!!!!" As she screamed out in pain, she collapsed still conscious. Her hand was on her head, pulling her hair as she groaned it pain. The female curled up in a ball and began to sober. Never in her life has she received this kind of pain. Pictures began to appear in her mind and made the girl tremble in confusion.

She groaned and moaned, keeping her hands on her head until she passed out.

"Ah, it's so peaceful without that stupid rabbit around. Good job, Oz!" Gil chuckled, and placed his feet on top of the dinning table. He was eating dinner with Break, Sharon and Liam and one presence was missing.

"Please Gil, don't say such rude things like that. It feels lonely without my little Alice around~," Sharon said after drinking wine from her champagne glass.

"Can't help it. She's always hitting me and bossing me around. Right Oz?" said Gil, waiting for his response. Oz sighed and shook his head.

"I'm not going to say anything. Sharon makes a good point but Gil does too. Alice brings out the fun out of everyone. But, it's also good to have a nice and quiet surrounding once and a while.

"HA!" Sharon and Gil said at the same time making Oz and Break laugh. Soon, they began to quarrel about Alice, as if Sharon took Alice's place and became Gil's rival for Alice. Hearing their words about Alice made Break wonder and talked to Oz in private across the room.

"While were at that subject, mind telling me what happened to Alice?" asked Break to Oz without even looking at him. Oz was sitting on the edge of the mansion's window and replied to his question without hesitation.

"I don't know. I just found her lying down at the garden at the back. Firstly I thought someone killed her. But when I approached her, she was still breathing."

Oz looked at Break this instant and sighed. Oz found Alice unconscious in the garden. Something was wrong with Alice but Oz couldn't pin point what. He carried her to Alice's room and placed her down onto her bed. Oz carefully looked at her.

Without noticing, he gently stroked her cheeks. She seemed peaceful by the looks of it. But what Oz didn't know was Alice received too much pain that she couldn't feel anything anymore.

"Hm. Does Gil know about this?"

"No, I didn't tell him yet. I just told him that Alice wasn't feeling well and she's fast asleep."

" =_____________= Um Oz? Isn't that the same as the truth only said in a different way?" Break asked him, eagerly waiting for his reply. It took a while before Oz said something. He didn't really wanted to admit that Break was right but there's no escape to it.

"I just want to elaborate it. That's all. Hehe." Oz scratched his head as he smiled at Break. Break shook his head.

"Oh yeah. Oz? You know that time at Vincent's? The one I told you about Milady Sharon's antidote?"

"Yeah, I guess. The one where Echo prevented the antidote from falling. Why?"

"At that time, Vincent had the bell which contains Alice's memories. I got no choice but to destroy it for Milady Sharon's sake. I just wanted to confirm that to you Oz," Break said, as he walked away from Oz.

"Oi, stupid rabbit! Wake up. We're going out today," Gil said after breaking into her room without permission. Oz asked him to wake Alice up before breakfast on the previous night. When he got no response, he continued his wake up call, getting slightly irritated.

Gil : I said wake up you S T U P I D rabbit!!

Alice : . . . . . . .

Gil : W A K E – U P !!!!!!!!

Alice : . . . . . .

Gil : *Irritated* IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP, I'LL EAT ALL THE MEAT IN THE KITCHEN INLCLUDING THE DINNING AREA!

Alice grunted and woke up. But not due from Gil's threat but by the loudness of his voice that could be heard miles from where he is. Alice slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"Finally you stupid rabbit. Oz said to get dressed and go downstairs for some meal. You'll need it he said," Gil said as he made his way out.

Alice looked around the room. W-where am I? What am I doing here? Thoughts flowed around her mind after scanning where she was. Alice was looking for something, or someone. "J-jack?" That name came out of her lips all of a sudden.

Gil stopped at his steps, slowly turning back to face Alice. "W-what did you say rabbit?"

"Jack. W-where is he? I need to see Jack. Do you know where he is, Mr. Seaweed head?" The aura changed quickly. Rage filled Gil as he clenched his hands into a fist.

"Why you little – !?"

"GIL!!" Oz flung in front of Gil, making a posture that looked like Oz was protecting Alice.

"Oz. . . What's up with her. She's acting. . . weird. She wants Jack Vessalius all of a sudden," said Gil. It was out. Oz could no longer hide it. Oz pointed at Alice's neck and Gil saw a collar. Gil gasped seeing this.

"C-could it be? No, Break destroyed that long ago. B-but, how?" Gil's expression changed. He did not know how to react seeing that 'that' thing is around her neck. Gil took a step backwards and placed his hand to cover his mouth.

"I found that around her neck the other day at the garden. I don't know how it got there. I was only positive at one thing. That Break destroyed that thing ages ago"

"Then what is it doing around that rabbit's neck?" Their conversation was interrupted by a question from the young female in the bed. "Does anyone know where I could fine Jack Mr. Blondie? Oh, and my cat? His name is Cheshire ~ I really want to see them." Alice tilted her head to side, for the first time in Gil's view, Alice actually smiled.

Oz crawled into the bed and sat beside Alice. Like he did before, Oz stroked her cheeks, his thumb going up to put Alice's hair behind her ears. Gil looked away, annoyed at the scene that was going on. "Do you know who I' am? We are?"

Oz himself was scared of his question. He was afraid that she'd say yes and call him Mr. Blondie again. Alice tried to think by looking carefully at them. But this only made Alice hurt her head. Her head dropped down and she laid her hand on her head like before and groaned.

"A-alice don-n't know. A-lice's head-d h-hurts! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Alice pushed Oz down the bed and making a loud thud.

"OZ! You stupid rabbit. How dare you do that to OZ!" Gil was about to slap Alice in the face when a pair of hands grabbed Gil's elbow.

"Enough Gil," Oz said calmly, his head down. Gil tried to protest but the other male cutted him off. "Can't you see Gil? Alice doesn't r e m e m b e r us."

"What's with all the racket? Gathered up in little Alice's room is very perverted you know~" Sharon flapped her fan in front of her face, only her eyes could only be seen.

"I agree with Milady. I'm not really surprised about Raven here being perverted but young Oz? Tsk tsk tsk. . ." Break followed behind Sharon and was grinning pretty intense. Gil's inner monster was awaken again, and a fist landed on Break's face.

"It was worth it," said Break, picking up the broken teeth on the ground. Sharon saw Alice's expression and she didn't like it one bit. She wants Alice's face to be happy all the time if possible. "What's wrong with little Alice? ~" Sharon asked Oz and Gil since they were the one that was in her room before herself and Break.

"Look at her neck. Her memories are back," Gil answered after a long silence. Break's jaw dropped and so does Sharon's. "But I thought I broke that bell long ago?" demanded Break.

"Xerxii-nii, why is that thing here? You told me that you got rid of it. Was Xerxii-nii lying to me?" Sharon snapped her fan on her palm repeatedly as she stepped on Break. Like Gil, her inner self was also awaken.

"I didn't lie to Milady Sharon, I swear! I did destroyed that thing, but I have no idea how it's with Alice." Alice, who was very confused, got herself out of the room since Sharon and Break distracted Oz and Gil. There's only one thing that Alice wants to do. Find Jack and Cheshire.

--- --- --- --- --- --- x

Jack. Jack. I'm coming for you Jack. You too Cheshire. I'm coming ~

Alice wondered around the halls of the Reinsworth mansion. People in the mansion greeted her happily but she ignored all of their greetings. She tried the sitting room, the dinning hall, bedrooms and even in the kitchen. The smell of meat didn't have the same effect on her like before.

Out of breath, she stopped and sat down below a tree outside. It was spring and the weather was really nice outside. She thought about the abyss, on how this kind of weather never existed. Now that her memory is back, the picture of Sabrie and many people dying came back to her head. Alice shook her head endlessly trying to get rid of that horrible memory. Her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice from before.

"Alice?"

--- --- --- --- --- --- x

"Then why is that thing with Alice, tell me Break. Tell me Break. T E L L – M E ~"

"Please don't ask me Milady for I don't have the answer to that. You could ask Ali – ce. . . ." As Break pointed where Alice was, his voice faded at the word of Alice. She was gone. Alice was out of the room.

"That stupid rabbit never stops on giving us trouble!" Gil grunted. "C'mon, we have to find Alice before she goes out of the mansion's area." Oz suggested and all of them split up and look for Alice.

--- --- --- --- --- --- x

"Alice, there you are." Alice looked up and saw the seaweed head from before. "Geez, you never stop being so irritable don't you?" Gil looked down on her, a curve appearing on the corner of his lips.

"Have you seen Jack?" Alice cocked her head towards Gil, who held an odd emotion. Gil didn't know how to break it her. That Jack isn't there anymore. That Jack sacrificed himself for her. Gil tried to change the subject. "Geez, what's up with you and him? Are you his girlfriend or something?"

At his question, the young female blushed kicking his legs. "It's none of your business. Is it bad to look for your friend? I think not Mr. Seaweed Head sir." He controlled himself not to hit her since she doesn't know him. "First, it is my business since it includes you. And secondly, stupid rabbit," Gil whispered and looked away when he said his favorite two words, stupid rabbit. "Don't ever call me Mr. Seaweed head ever again. Kapeesh?"

Alice nodded and asked him what she should call him. Gil thought about it for a moment. It'd be sure weird to hear his name coming out from her lips. Gil tried it out to see what it'll feel like.

"Call me, Gilbert."

"But I heard the others call you Gil," said Alice. Ba-dump. Alice saying his nickname sure did give him an effect. What more if Alice calls him his full name. "I really don't care what you call me. Everyone has their moments. Break calls me Raven."

"Who's Break? Is he the one that looks like a scary, stressed clown?" At her comment, Gil cracked up laughing and fell down beside Alice. "Yup, that's him alright."

Next, Gil did something that surprised the two of them. He gently patted her head, slightly messing her hair. He stood up and fixed up all the scrunched parts in his clothes. "Well, better let them know you're here. Stay here and don't move a muscle, okay?" Alice nodded and tightly hugged her legs.

Soon, Alice fell asleep before the others came. "She sure does like to doze off doesn't she?" Oz smiled and picked Alice up in his arms.

"What shall we say to her about Jack~" Sharon asked while Oz was placing Alice on the couch.

Oz replied after carefully putting her down. "I don't know."

--- --- --- --- --- --- x

A few days later, they had finally convinced Alice that Jack was out of town and would be back before the next full moon which was two months away from now. They also convinced him that he took Cheshire with him. Alice seemed to believe their lies and patiently waited for their arrival.

--- --- --- --- --- --- x

Nothing to do at the mansion, Alice played hide & seek with the maids. Getting back her memories made Alice's attitude different. It had a weird effect on her. She became more cheerful, knowing that Jack's still alive. She became less violent, not hitting Gil & Break whenever they say something stupid to her. Alice also lets Sharon play with her hair and dress – ups.

"Forty – eight, forty – nine, fifty! Ready or not, here I come!" shouted Alice as she ran down the stairs. She giggled happily doing so and tripped down. Oz, who was climbing up the stairs gasp as soon as he saw Alice falling. He stretched his hands and hugged Alice tightly as soon as Alice was around Oz's grasp.

She had shut her eyes as soon as her face was buried in Oz's chest. Once finished with the hard impact with the ground, Oz opened his eyes and positioned his hand on his head. "Ugh. . . . . Alice? A-are you okay?" Seeing that Alice was on top of him, lying there silently with her eyes closed, Oz quickly blushed and panicked.

Oh God, Alice's on top of me! What should I do?! She began to move and she slowly opened her eyes. Alice raised her head, also made the same movement as Oz once he opened his eyes. Alice placed her hand on her head and rolled off of him. Oz sighed, the blush still on his face. "Alice, are you okay?" Oz sat up, feeling his back for any broken bones.

"I-im okay. Thanks Oz," Alice murmured. "It's no biggie. That fall could've killed you." Alice watched Oz fix his hair and Alice smiled (for the second or third time in her life) and leaned towards Oz.

She gave him a small peck on the cheek, making Oz blush in three different shades of red. Just as Alice did that, Break, Sharon and Gil entered the room witnessing the scene. Break grinned devilishly, Sharon's eyes sparkled and Gil dropped his jaw to the ground.

Oz felt their presence in the room and turned around seeing their expressions. Alice stood up, and smiled to everyone. "I better find the maids. I've already lost enough time on finding them. Well, I'll see everyone at dinner later." At that, Alice made her exit and went towards the kitchen.

(A/N): Voila! There you go. The first chapter. Oz was the first one that was 'attacked' by Alice. So who'll be next? Stay tune for more! XD

Like soap on the television xDD
