Chapter 1

I walk down the hallway to Julius's work space. I'm holding a fresh cup of coffee for Julius. It seems that Julius is very busy these days. I wish that everyone would respect his work; I mean he's only doing his job. Julius is in charge of repairing every broken clock in Heart Country. That's why he's always busy.

The clocks that he repairs are the hearts of everyone in Heart Country. Julius doesn't even know that I know. He works hard and values life here. Everyone else doesn't even care, they kill for fun. Every single person here has no care for their lives.

"Red are you ok?" Julius asks.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm fine. I was just thinking." I say setting down his coffee on his desk.

"Oh." He says taking a sip of his coffee.

"What's the score?" I ask a smile coming to my lips.

"It's always fun when I do better with my coffee making skills.

"79." He says.

"That's it?" I say my parade rained on.

"At least it's drinkable." He states.

"Oh well, I'll just have to do better next time." I say moving some of his books off the table.

"Hey Julius are you done with these?" I ask Holding them up.

"Yes." He says tinkering with the tiny clock.

I admire how much effort he puts in his work. I put the books away.

"I have to go Julius. I promised Blood I would attend his stupid tea party." I say making a face.

He actually threatened to Burn down the Clock Tower if I didn't attend.

"Very well. Enjoy your time." He says not even looking up from his work.

"Ok, don't work too hard or else you'll have to deal with me some more." I say threatening to be here more often.

Julius probably thinks I'm the most annoying thing in the world.

"I will do as I please. If you don't hurry the Hatter's will send someone out to look for you." He warns.

"Fine," I sigh. "Bye Julius."

I walk out the door feeling that this tea party is going to be tiresome.

Julius doesn't say anything back to me.

I guess that's normal. He doesn't have to talk to me I don't mind the quiet actually. Everywhere else I go is busy and incredibly loud. That's why I like it at the Clock Tower.

JULIUS's P.O.V

Red shuts the door behind her and walks away. She comes around more often now. At first she would only visit every six to eight time turns, if that. But now she comes almost every day. I don't mind. She is free to roam where she may but at times she doesn't seem herself.

One minute she is happy and laughing. The next she is zoning out on nothing. She could be daydreaming I guess but it doesn't seem like her to do so.

Another thing about Red is that she never complains about anything really. Other than the occasional tea party with Blood Red seems bright. She should be outside with people that enjoy others company. Not a clockmaker that would prefer to lock himself away in his tower and never look outside. It's selfish of me to even desire her company.

Even if I told her to leave she wouldn't really go. She would be back sooner or later. That's just how Red is. I still think she should be somewhere that makes her happy.

Author's Note: Julius is so cute! He always thinks he's not good enough and it makes him adorable. Julius has got to be my favorite of almost all the role holders. So please review. Toodles.
