Alice Liddel had absolutely had it with Blood's ridiculous attitude. He had no right to treat her in the manner that he did; and not to mention his relentless teasing. He manipulated her emotions daily, taking pleasure in her misery and embarrassment. She stormed out of the lavish mansion and headed straight toward the beautiful rose garden that always made her feel at ease. Part of her wanted to explore the gardens without Blood's permission just to spite him. She sighed in irritation and plopped down beneath a shady tree just within the garden. A soft, cool breeze whispered across her skin, ruffling her thin blonde tresses slightly. Her eyelids fluttered closed and her mind drifted anywhere and everywhere but to Blood. She willed it not to but eventually, it did.
Alice sat in front of the mirror early in the morning, running a brush through her silky hair. While she was visiting the Hatter's mansion, night fell in the blink of an eye; just her luck. The servants insisted she stay until day broke again, and she had no choice but to agree; with all their badgering. Not that it made any difference to the 'owner' of the mansion; he couldn't care less whether she lived or died…..nothing like 'him'. She stared at her reflection absent-mindedly, nearly jumping out of her skin when she noticed Blood's reflection there as well. She put the brush down slowly, barely even acknowledging his existence. "What are you doing in here?" Alice said coolly, placing her favored ribbon in her groomed hair. She gasped when she felt strong arms wrap around her and a low growl rumble in her ear. "This is MY home, my dear~" He whispered, nipping her ear. She squeaked in surprise, accidently pushing into his broad chest. His arms snaked around her waist immediately, his hands traveling up toward her chest. Her breath hitched when his hands skimmed her breasts. He chuckled and ran his slender fingers over her collar bone, drawing patterns there as he spoke. "Such a response from an 'innocent' young lady hmmm?~" "S-Shut up…" She panted, trying to break his hold on her. Her whole body trembled as she watched his hands, ever so slowly; dip into her dress, cupping her breaths roughly. He mistook her cry of pain for pleasure and he grinned, running his tongue in a sloppy trail down her neck. She grimaced. She didn't want this…especially not from HIM; someone that always treated her so poorly, like dirt under his feet. Tears began to pool at the corner of her eyes. No. "NO!" she screamed turning and smacking him across the face with all her might. He recoiled and glared at Alice, holding his face. She didn't stay to see how he would react; she didn't want to. She ran, and ended up here underneath the cool shade of this tree. She blushed, still feeling the string of his fingers on her flesh. He took his teasing too far this time. What would he have done if she hadn't stopped him? She shuddered at the thought, sudden angry tears springing to her eyes. She hugged her knees to her chest, beginning to sob uncontrollably.
