Updates will be VERY slow since I'm trying to figure out college. But, other than that, please enjoy the stories and feel free to give me some ideas~

A slow, thrumming clock ticks in my ear beneath the firm body flush against me. I internally groan and cracks my eyes open, horrified of what I'll find. Yep, this isn't my room alright. My heart jerks as the memory of his lips whispering over mine floods my face with heat. O-Oh my gosh ... I am going to murder Boris the next time I see him. I jump as strong arms wrap around my waist, a deep chuckling laugh reverberating through his chest beneath my fingers.

"I had a wonderful time last night dear. Now tell me, where did you learn those rather expert techniques? You weren't reminiscing with Alice by chance when she was here, were you?" He teases, breathing hot air over my already flushed ear. I will never be able to live this down. I stiffen up and try to bury my face in his chest out of sheer embarrassment. How the heck am I going to get out of this one? A sharp, frightened rivet shoots down my spine as his fingers slide into my hair and get a firm grip. I refuse to budge an inch as he tugs on my hair.

"Come on now, dear. I want to see that lovely face shaded in red." He croons, sitting up. I remain stiff as a board as my legs part to either side, feeling his bare legs sliding against mine. O-O-Oh my gosh did he take off my pants?! T-Thank goodness I still have my underwear though ... I clench my teeth and hold back a groan as he jerks my head back, forcing me to look at him. His cool, collected eyes carefully study my rose red face as a sly grin pulls on either side of his lips.

"S-Stop." I beg, pulling against his tightly woven into my hair fingers. He chuckles and relents, letting me hide my face in his shoulder. I want to crawl into the deepest hole in all the world and die.

"How did you sleep?" He smoothly asks, loosening his death grip on my hair. Embarrassingly delightful shivers crawl up and down my back as his fingers gently brush through my hair. Oh gosh ... he's using just enough strength to comb through my hair to make it hurt, yet gentle enough to make me want more. Stupid freaking genius womanizer.

"Fine." I simply state, trying not to think too much as his leg raises up, sliding me closer onto his hips. I glance around the room searching for anything to save me but there's nothing to serve as a decent distraction. My eyes ravage the silver platter beside his bed spying his uneaten breakfast. Dang it, I can't even use food as an excuse to get away!

"That's good," he breathes, lightly inhaling as he touches his cheek to my temple, "I on the other hand was tossing and turning all night." He almost proudly admits with a dark chuckle. Another round of red slaps my face as I spy multiple bite marks and forming bruises blossoming all over his neck and even down a ways to his chest. Oh no ... I did those!

"Do you like it, dear? I was surprised that you marked me to this extent but I share no complaints." He muses, tugging my head back by the ends of my hair. I shove against his chest keeping him at arm's distance. This jerk-!

"You tricked me!" I accuse, trying to remove the embarrassment from myself. It was my fault for falling for it. I was the one who snuck out. I was the one who let Boris convince me to take the strong medicine. My eyes narrow as I try to come up with a reasonable explanation through my stubborn denial.

But it's still his fault somehow.

"Oh, so you remember our passionate, burning night?" He chuckles as I jump back, nearly falling out of the bed. I spin around spying him just settling the black silk sheets over his unmentionables. "I was surprised at your vigorous attention in this area in particular," he continues, thoroughly enjoying my horror as I spy more and more bruises and even a few teeth marks on him. How many times did I bite him?!

"T-That doesn't count! I-I don't remember anything!" I shout and falsely claim. My heart throbs wildly from the damage done to his glorious, strongly built body. I can't believe I did that to him.

And yet I can still feel my teeth almost aching in remembrance of it.

"Oh~ I smell a lie. What's the matter? You don't want to take responsibility for ruining my body with your love making?" He teases, resting his arm on his knee as he raises an eyebrow. Terrified and stiffly walks to the door. "Leaving to get me a cigarette? Or do you perhaps want to take a cold bath after such passion?"

"I'm leaving to leave!" I shout, completely flustered. He smirks at my bright red face before I whip around and dive out the door, slamming it shut. I place a trembling hand over my ashamed lips as I try to handle the onslaught of what happened. I can't believe it ... I can't believe I had the balls to tell him his kiss sucked, and then show him what one was.

I-I don't even know where that came from!

It's as if all of my knowledge from reading excerpts of stupid books and tid bits of information I've hear in passing all came flooding into me at once, setting my body on fire. A-A-And I think from my, uh, 'leg humping' made him have a -

"Jackie?" Elliot's voice interrupts. I suck in a frightened breath and snap my head back towards him, spying his eyes glue themselves to my legs. I slightly turn trying to hide myself from his violet eyes. Oh, my gosh-!

"E-Elliot." I stutter, almost trembling as I spy his ears fall down. His eyes run over the carpet as his face falls deep in thought.

"I see ... so your relationship with my boss is ... I'll have to get the carrot cake and ... ceremony ... ," he mutters to himself, lost in his own little world as my brain bleeps out certain phrases. M-Marriage-?!

"N-No, Elliot you've got it wrong." I say, trying to rack my brain for a logical response. How am I supposed to explain this?! My heart nearly leaps into my mouth as a strong arm curls around my waist, hot lips barely touching my ear.

"Silly girl, you've left your pants in my room." He purrs as his overpowering musk sinks deeply into my nose.

"H-Hey, stop Elliot is right there!" I cry, spinning around as I rip the pants from his hands. I gasp and spin around as I realize what Elliot would be seeing, spying his eyes right where I was afraid they would be. "T-Turn around! Don't look!" I shout as his eyes immediately shoot up to the ceiling with a touch of pink on his cheeks.

"What does it matter if he sees? Everyone already knows that you've mercilessly ravaged me." Blood chuckles, menacingly grinning as he watches me wrestle on my pants. I quickly buckle them glaring at his fully outfitted form and neatly done hair. How in the world did he get ready so quickly?

"N-Not true." I nervously stutter, inching back a few steps.

"My my, denying our wild night are we? I can't name a place in the room that we didn't touch in some manner." He coolly lies, glancing at Elliot's rising flush.

"S-Shut up!" I shout as a last defense, one of which he catches on instantly.

"Running out of excuses are we?" He suavely purrs as he walks up to me. My feet remain rooted to the ground as my heart throbs. Why can't I run? It's like I'm trapped in that deadly gaze that's intent on eating me alive. His gentle smile only grows wider as his fingers sweep my jaw up and tilts my head.

"You look lovely in the shade of red, dear." He compliments, quickly pecking me on the stiff lips before pulling back. "Come along, Elliot. We have business to attend to. After all, things tend to get a little messy after a move." He says, not even glancing back.

"Y-Yes." He stutters as Blood smoothly glides by me. Elliot casts a nervous glance back at my wide, shocked eyes before hurrying to his boss's side. My entire body catches on fire as my face only deepens with fiery embarrassment, consuming every inch of my skin. T-T-This ...

This sucks!

‡

Oh man ... now what's going to happen? I doubt he'll back off now that I've freaking made out with him.

My legs tremble as I shakily make my way through the main gate, spying neither Dee or Dum. Geh ... they must be off messing with some poor faceless again. I heavily sigh at my pathetic situation and walk down an unfamiliar path filled with thick forests. This looks different. Why? I stop walking and look back at the main gate before looking back to the only path. Did trees just suddenly shoot up in the middle of the night without me noticing?

I hesitantly continue down the path absorbing all the new features of the forest. My scanning eyes catch sight of what I thought is a fin before I push off the thought. Ha. Yeah, flying fish. That's a good one. My disbelieving smile quickly drops as a silver fish with moss growing on its body swims across the path and nonchalantly slips in between some branches of a nearby bush.

...

Ok ...

That wasn't freaky at all. I stare at the place it disappeared to as I walk trying to catch another glimpse of it. That wasn't a fish. That was a bird. That looked like a fish. And swam like a fish. And ... and ... oh gosh. That was a fish. No getting around it.

"Oof!" I grunt, smacking into a plush yet firm wall. I stumble back, staring at the giant cream colored stalk, following it up to the massive frills spanning out on either side of it. Is that a giant mushroom?! I leap back, placing a hand over my racing heart as I stare at the giant mushroom. Uh ...

"Eek! Someone, help!" A familiar, high pitches voice shouts. My heart immediately freezes over in its icy domain as I jerk around the mushroom, spying a blue dress and long dirty blonde hair struggling beside a mushroom. Her bright, frightened blue eyes dart around the forest and she struggles to pull her hands back from the top of a white dotted red mushroom. Each time she tried a clear, mucus substance stuck to her hands and pulls her little arms right back into place.

"ALICE?!" I shout, mortified.

Alice is here.

I made out with Alice's boyfriend, Blood Dupre.

Therefore I am a terrible friend who deserves to jump off a cliff and suffer an agonizing death for my thoughtless actions.

My heart jerks as I struggle to think of my next action. Do I go help her or run for my life and pretend I never saw her? Her head whips around, immediately vanquishing my hopes of running away.

"J-Jackie, please help!" She shouts in a pleading voice. I internally cringe from her pleading voice, begging for my help. Please don't

"A-Alice, what are you doing back?" I ask, voice faltering as I hurry to her side. No backing out now. I need to tell her about Blood. I have to! My brain skids to a halt as I spy her wide frightened bright blue eyes.

"What the heck is this stuff?" I ask, staring at her hands which are completely encased in some sort of sticky goo the mushroom top is secreting. I watch her feebly struggle to even lift her hands and inch as she grits her teeth, struggling to pull free. "Alice, what are you doing here?"

"I-I don't know! I was running to the Mansion and then there was an earthquake. Oh no, if I knew there was going to be a move I would have waited a little while." She squeaks, pulling with all her might against the goo. I get behind her and wrap my arms around her waist, propping my foot up against the nearby tree. I heave and kick with all my might, throwing us both back. Needles prick my back as I fall onto the bush with Alice landing on top, smacking her head into my collarbone. Ow ... well, at least she's alright.

"Ow ... no, I mean what are you doing here? In Wonderland of all places?!" I ask, gently pushing her shoulders back. This is the last position I would want to be stuck in with a girl but whatever. At least she's light.

"I ... I don't know." She quickly says, looking off to the side.

Oh no.

"It's Blood, isn't it?" I say, heart sinking as her eyes shoot up to mine with the truth written all over her face. She's missed Blood.

And now she's here to take him back.

"Y-Yes ... ," she quietly says, a faint tinge of pink dotting her cheeks. My heart painfully throbs as I crane my head back. She wants Blood. So what? But w-why ... why does it feel like my heart has just been wrenched right out of my chest?

"R-Right." I stutter, looking off to the side.

"Jackie, what are you doing here? I'm not heading to the Amusement Park am I?" She asks, looking around the forest. "Clover Country always did have me bending over backwards with finding places but this is ridiculous." She huffs.

"No, no. You're heading the right way." I acknowledge, awkwardly looking off to the side. I can't even bare to look her in the face after doing that to her boyfriend. I'm such a terrible person! Even though they must have 'broken up' I still can't help but feel guilty.

"Wait, then why were you at the Mansion?" She asks, a tad bit of suspicion underlying her tone. A smile crosses my lips as I lightly push her off and onto her feet before getting up myself.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to see Elliot, that's all." I smile, masking my shredding agony before turning towards the Mansion. "Here, I'll take you there."

"O-Oh. Thank you." She says, keeping pace with me if not a few steps ahead. Her eyes, behind her pathetic excuse for a mask, sparkle with an eagerness that makes my heart crumble up into tiny pieces before throwing itself off a cliff.

It hurts.

They obviously have feelings for each other. Blood especially. I can see it in his eyes every now and then whenever he or I mentions Alice. He misses her, and I've been ignoring it. My heart painfully throbs as I clench my teeth. Now ... he's going to take her back. And I'll be tossed aside like a dirty, used rag.

It hurts and I hate it.

"Oh, Big Sister?!" Dee shouts as Dum perks up, both of them with wide open mouths. I lightly laugh at their reaction and wave.

"Hey-,"

"Dee, Dum it's so good to see you!" Alice shouts as she rushes forward, wrapping her arms around the already nearly sobbing boys.

"W-W-Why did you leave?!"

"Yeah, Big Sister you jerk!" They cry, both in the pits of despair and happiness all rolled up into one.

"I know ... I know. But it's alright. I'm here now aren't I?" She smiles with a tinge of sadness hidden behind her cracking blue eyes. My mouth parts before I hold back what I'm about to say. What's that look in her eyes? "Well, I really must be going-,"

"No!"

"Big Sister isn't allowed to leave ever again!" They shout. Uh oh. I wonder how Alice is going to handle this one?

"W-What? No, Dee, Dum, let go." She says, clearing at an emotional edge. I heavily sigh and step in before suddenly ducking.

"WHOA!" I shout, covering my head. Everyone's head snaps up, immediately spying my defensive position.

"Other big sister?" Dee says, tilting his head. My heart throbs from the reference. Already I've been degraded to the 'other' big sister.

"What's wrong?" Dum asks as I whip around and shake my fist towards the forest.

"Hey!" I bark, "watch it Boris! I don't care if you want to try out your new bullet and shot silencer on the twins. You nearly hit Alice!" I shout, grinding my teeth in angst as I listen for the twin's inevitable reactions.

"What?!"

"Boris is attacking big sister? You chicken cat! Come out here and face us like a man!" Dum shouts as both the twins suddenly shift. My eyes widen as their clothes darken into gray stripped black suits as they leap forward, coolly dashing into the trees.

"What the heck?!" I shout, stumbling back as I gawk after them.

"Stupid cat!"

"Come out and face us!" They childishly shout, blindly running around the forest. Alice heavily sighs and places a hand on her chest as she stares at me.

"Boris finally made the silencer?" She innocently asks, trying to catch a glimpse of him in the woods.

"Nope. I'm just a better liar now." I grin and pat her shoulder. "Now come on. You want to see Blood, right?"

"O-Oh. Yes." She flushes again as she turns her head, trotting up to the main doors. I follow with dread weighing down my heavy heart as I follow her. It ... hurts. A lot. What is Blood going to say to her? No, what is he going to say to me? 'Sorry but your services are no longer required?' 'I'm not interested now that Alice is here?' I nervously gulp as I heavily step closer to the inevitable.

"Oh, hey Jackie. You're back ... ," Elliot's voice immediately falters as his eyes lock onto Alice. His ears pull down as shock wipes out any poker face he could possibly muster. "Al ... ice?"

"H-Hello, Elliot." She says, looking away as she nervously fidgets with her dress. My eyes dart between the two. How is Elliot going to react to all this?

"Well, let's go Alice. Don't you need to borrow a book?"

"O-Oh, yes! Thank you Jackie." She says, quickly passing the stone faced Elliot as his eyes become distant. I pause as I pass him, reaching out an lightly squeezing his arm.

"If you need to you can talk to me later." I say as I make a small croak at the end. I hoarsely cough before hesitantly letting go, following after the practically running Alice. No ... please stop. What is this overwhelming feeling to drag her away from her before Blood sees her? My heart throbs as I start running, dashing around a sharp corner after her.

Alice, please stop. Can't you ... can't you let me find my happiness with Blood, who you tossed aside? I reach out and nearly grab her sleeve before my heavy heart weighs me down.

I can't do it.

My eyes drain of luster as I numbly slow down, still keeping an even pace with her. I have no right to stop her. If she and Blood want to get back together who am I to stop them? Even after ... even after what he's done to my heart. N-No. It's fine.

I'll get over him.

"B-Blood!" She shouts, tossing back his door as she stares into the room. I make it in time to spy Blood's wide green eyes staring back at Alice with fondness, warmth, hurt, betrayal, and pain twisting through his eyes before neatly sealing them up for a later date. Oh Blood ... I knew it.

You still love Alice and only used me to distract yourself.

"Alice ... ," he mutters so softly I hardly catch it. My heart painfully throbs from the endearment dripping from his words before he smirks, coolly playing this emotional reunion off. "Back so soon?"

"Can't you be at least a little more grateful, Blood?" She snaps back. My chest tightens at their clearly friendly bickering as my hand slides off the door frame. I cast my war torn eyes over Blood, unable to even catch his eyes which remain locked on his dear Alice.

Goodbye, Blood.

"See ya." I callously say before quickly trotting down the hallway. I listen for a response but there is only silence in the room. My heart painfully throbs as I quickly walk through the halls stiffly passing Elliot who is still in a near daze, unable to process what is going on. My heart jerks painfully in place as I hurry through the front door and out the unguarded gates, trotting down the alien road as I comfortingly rub my arms. Fresh batches of tears stream down my face as I bite my lip, unable to stop my heart from being peeled off, layer by layer as the knife sinks deeper and deeper into my tender center.

Why, Blood Dupre?

How could you coldly cast me aside as if I were nothing, even after so selfishly sinking your teeth into my untainted heart?
