Becoming Alice, in Wonderland

"Why is he always busy? Doesn't he want to go out and find them?"

"Maybe he is waiting for them to come to him."


Being the leader of the mafia in Wonderland made Blood a very busy man. He would often receive letters for sources giving him information. Even though he would receive so many letters he would always open them and read the letters. One day Elliot came in with an envelope as Blood sat at his desk reading letters.

"Boss, this is for you." He said placing the letter on Blood's desk.

"Thank you Elliot. You're next assignment is in the folder. It's for next period."

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Elliot left.

Blood was thristy. 'I guess it's almost tea time.' He looked the letter. 'I guess I should look at this first.' He opened the enevlope and read the paper. 'Will you wind? Or not?' was all the paper said. He circled 'wind.' He figured, why not?

Suddenly there was a knock at his door. He set down the letter and went to answer the door. A maid bowed and said "Mister Dupre, this just arrived for you." He took the box from her. She bowed and left. He closed the door.

He would often receive letters but there were few packages. He went over to his desk to find that the letter was gone. He placed the box on his desk. 'Should I open it?' He thought looking at the chest. He decided to open the chest. He opened the box gently.

Inside lay a doll with blonde hair and dressed in red. He picked up the metal key then looked back down at the doll. 'She's so small and life like.' She lay there with her eyes closed, asleep on her side. He saw the key hole on her back and put the key in and wound up the doll. She blinked her blue eyes and sat up.

"Are you the one who wound me up?" She said in a very lady like fashion.

"Yes, young lady." He said bending down to look at her face.

She lifted her right hand and slapped him across the face. "Do not stand so close to me." Blood stood up tall again. "My name is Shinku and I am the fifth Rozen Maiden doll."

She looked around the room and jumped off the desk. "You live in a much nicer place than the person that was going to be my servant." She looked around, as if searching for something. "The only thing is you do not have a televison set." She turned to Blood and looked up at him. "You should get one. How am I going to watch Dectective Kun Kun without it?"

Blood stood there. He wasn't sure how to answer the doll's question. "Is there something wrong?" She said turning to face him.

"You are a doll."

"Yes, I know that and you are a human, that is meant to be my servant."

"Your servant?"

"Yes, you agreed to wind me up. That makes you my servant." She moved around the room looking at certain things again.

Blood was still amazed with her lifelike features. He felt rude for not talking to her but he wasn't sure what to say. Dolls in Wonderland were usually the same size as people.

"What is your name, servant?"

"My name is Blood Dupre and I am leader of the mafia."

"You are a mob boss?" She asked although it was more of a statement.

"Not exactly."

"Boss, we're taking our break." said the Twins coming into the room.

"Boss?" Elliot said following them. They looked up at Blood and then down at Shinku. "Who are you?" Elliot asked crossing his arms.

"My name is Shinku and I am the fifth Rozen Maiden doll."

"Can we play with her Boss?" Dum asked.

"Yes, Boss please?" Dee said.

Before Blood could answer a window on the far side of the room shattered and black feathers blew into the room. "I thought I would have more time before this happened."
