Blood looked towards the female that was now in front of him, "So, Elliot why did you bring this outsider to me?" Blood asked, Elliot shrugged towards Blood,
"Honestly, the twins found her first. And I happened to be nearby. So, I decided that I should bring her here. After all it looks like its about to rain." Elliot smiled softly, "Is it okay if she stays here for a bit, boss?" He asked,
"It would have been nice for you to have asked first, Elliot." Blood shrugged, as he now sighed, and fixed his top hat, "Well, Alice. My name is Blood Dupree." He extended his hand, and then brought Alice's hand to his lips and softly placed a kiss upon the top of her hand, he watched Alice blush. He found this reaction in fact interesting, "So, do tell me, what brings you here?" Blood asked with an arc of his brow, he really wanted to know why or how she got into his world,
"I can honestly blame Peter for his bullshit." Alice scoffed as she crossed her arms,
"Peter White?" Elliot asked,
"Yeah, you know of him?" Alice asked,
"Well, of course. He is an obnoxious bastard. But we all deal with him. For a few reasons. But I rather not be sorted with a Rabbit." Elliot rolled his eyes,
"Aren't you a rabbit, as well?" Alice asked with an arc of her brow,
"No. I'm not." Elliot stated then groaned in pain, "AH! Alice what are you doing?!" Elliot asked, as Alice tugged on his large rabbit ears,
"I don't know, Elliot, you seem to have rather large rabbit ears." Alice snickered, then released his ears, "I rather not be here, to be completely honest. Peter, the bastard, tricked me." Alice sighed, "Does he do this a lot?" Alice asked, and watched both Blood and Elliot nod. But she had noticed that Blood was very distant. She now heard the thunder, "Great." Alice thought, "Just fucking great." Alice continued with her thoughts, but something struck at her heart...Vivaldi's smile, she now blushed but when she did blush she was looking at Blood. Of course he got the wrong idea. Alice stood there, until Blood was a gentlemen and offered her a spot to sit. Alice saw the tea now coming her way, she really didn't want to be here. Alice sighed ever so softly,
Peter was pacing around Vivaldi, "Where is my Alice?!" Peter asked with a bit sadness in his tone,
"Your Alice?" Vivaldi asked, "Have you claimed her as your own, Peter?" Vivaldi questioned Peter with an arc of her brow,
"Well, I did kiss her...Is that bad?" Peter thought, "I do believe I have claimed her. I sealed that with a kiss, when I first met her." Peter readjusted his glasses, as he smiled softly,
"Hmm, Peter, you show no honor, do you?" Vivaldi asked, as she leaned in her throne, and rested her jaw on the top of her hand as her elbow rested on the arm of the throne, "Peter, go find 'your' Alice." Vivaldi stated with a soft hiss, she really wanted Peter out of her sight, "Oh, and bring Ace with you." Vivaldi stood, "And that is an order, Peter." Vivaldi smirked then headed towards the garden, she wanted to be alone. Vivaldi watched Ace and Peter leave. She now caught a cherry blossom petal between her index and middle finger, "Why can't I get her out of my mind? Every single time I hear her name...I begin to feel this warm feeling." Vivaldi thought, she sighed softly, then let the petal fall from her fingers, as she continued to walk through the gardens. She wanted to forget of Alice, but every moment, she continued to let her thoughts drag that way.
Blood looked towards Alice, trying to figure her out. "So, Lidell Alice..." He was cut off,
"Are you like Vivaldi? Just Alice will do fine." Alice stated,
"Vivaldi?!" Blood now stood, "Get the fuck out now!" Blood stated with a soft hiss, "I am fucking serious! Elliot get her out of my sight!" Blood turned on his heel, and didn't look at Alice as she was now escorted out of his house, he didn't want to hear that name, seeing that they were at war. And Blood was the head of the Mafia. And Elliot was his right hand man, that was something he didn't want to tell Alice Lidell, plus...He found her attractive. Blood sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose, he wanted to be in complete silence. Well, until Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee came wandering in,
"Blood...Why is Alice leaving?" Tweedle Dum asked,
"Because that bitch is working with Vivaldi. I know it!" Blood snarled, "Why did you let that bitch in?! Hmmm!" Blood now turned at looked at the twins, then sighed, "Get out of my sight, and when you see her again. Do not bring her here, understand?!" Blood asked angrily, he watched the twins bow their heads, and run out to guard the gates again, "Why does she have to be on the side of Vivaldi, my own sister?" He didn't know why, but he was starting to grow somewhat of a hate towards his own sister. But maybe that was because Alice was staying with Vivaldi...Or maybe Alice wasn't, but all that mattered was to get Alice to see that Blood did in fact a soft side. Maybe he should have shown that a little sooner, Blood shrugged to his own thoughts,
"Uh, Elliot why is Blood acting so damn weird?" Alice asked,
"Because we are at war with the Castle of Hearts. Its hard to explain. And to tell you the truth...I don't remember why we are at war with them..." Elliot began to think hard on the subject, "Hmm, I guess, I am lost as you are, Alice." Elliot walked her to the woods, "Listen, Alice, be careful..." He was cut off before he could continue on,
"OH MY ALICE!" Peter jumped at Alice, and hugged her tightly, "I have missed you! And I was worried about you!" Peter now pulled away, "YOU!" Peter pointed towards Elliot, "Did you hurt my poor Alice?!" Peter asked,
"Not yours to claim, Peter." Alice interrupted,
"Alice now is not the time to argue. I love you, Alice. And I would have died if anything had happened to you!" Peter exclaimed, he now grabbed Alice by the hand, "Let us go!" Peter demanded,
"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Alice exclaimed, she yanked her hand away from Peter's, "Leave me alone." Alice sighed then turned to go somewhere else,
"But Alice...Vivaldi wishes for your presence..." Peter mustered, he watched Alice stop, "Alice..." Peter looked towards her with an arc of his brow,
"I guess...But Peter do not touch me. Please." Alice demanded but not in a rude way, she watched Peter nod, "Thank you Elliot." Alice smiled then walked away with Peter and Ace, "Uhm...Peter who is your friend?" Alice asked,
"His name is Ace. Vivaldi wanted him to come with me...I guess to make sure...Actually I do not know why she wanted him to go with me." Peter whispered, after about an hour, they returned the Castle Of Hearts, Peter bowed before Vivaldi and behind him was Alice,
"So, you've returned with Alice, I'm pleased. Peter. Ace. Please leave us." Vivaldi stated in a stern tone, Vivaldi watched Peter and Ace leave her sights, "Welcome back, Alice." Vivaldi smiled warmly, she watched Alice look at her in a weird fashion, "What is with the look, Alice?" Vivaldi asked,
"Your smile is gorgeous." Alice thought, "No reason. I just thought I saw something." Alice lied, "Uhm...Queen Vivaldi..." Alice was cut off,
"Vivaldi will do fine, Alice." Vivaldi snickered but was caught off guard with Alice's reaction,
"What is it?! Vivaldi or Queen Vivaldi?! I am getting confused!" Alice stated in a rather annoyed tone,
"Forgive me, Alice. I didn't mean to upset you." Vivaldi looked away, then didn't speak for a few minutes. She didn't know what to say to Alice, she didn't want to piss the young female off, "If you'll excuse me." Vivaldi stood then began to walk away, but felt Alice grab her arm,
"Vivaldi...I'm sorry for my tone." Alice whispered, "I didn..." Alice's eyes shot wide as she felt soft lips press against her own, Alice's hand gripped the sleeves of Vivaldi's dress, she felt like she could fall into oblivion, and she would gladly accept this, and soon her eyes were closing. As she finally returned the kiss, something about this kiss felt right, she soon felt Vivaldi pull away,
"I've wanted to do that sense I met you." Vivaldi chuckled, "Alright might not have been that long." Vivaldi pulled away from Alice, "Why do you blush, young Alice?" Vivaldi asked, but before an answer came to her, she felt Alice kiss her again. Vivaldi didn't hesitate, she rested her hand against the nape of Alice's neck, as she slowly let her tongue enter the moist caves of Alice's mouth, their tongues soon intertwined but suddenly Vivaldi pulled away, her eyes were wide,
"Vivaldi...Are you okay?" Alice asked, "I am sorry for kissing...You again." Alice whispered, "I don't know what came over me..." Alice mustered, then lowered her head, but felt her head be lifted, she looked deep into Vivaldi's eyes, she felt a soft peck upon her lips,
"Do not apologize for something, I too craved." Vivaldi smiled, "Do you wish to stay the night? Another storm seems to be approaching us." Vivaldi was delighted with the answer she had received, Alice had agreed to stay the night, and this pleased the Queen, "You shall sleep in the same room, you had last night. You should probably take rest, now." Vivaldi slowly pulled away then began to walk away, "Rest easy, dear Alice." Vivaldi stated, before going to her bed chambers,
Vivaldi grabbed one of her stuffed animals, and snuggled with the plush toy. Vivaldi tried to sleep, but once again she couldn't help but think about Alice. She ran her fingers over her lips that had been taken away with Alice's lips, Vivaldi slowly sat up when she heard thunder roar through the clouds ever so loudly. "Ah, how I love thunderstorms." Vivaldi thought with a smile, but soon she heard a knock at her door, "Hello?" Vivaldi called out, she now heard Peter's voice,
"I just wanted to wish you sweet dreams, My Queen." Peter stated,
"Thank you, Peter. As I wish for the same for you. Now please go rest, Peter." Vivaldi rolled her eyes, then went to rest, but soon heard a knock at the door, "Peter, I said goodnight." Vivaldi was cut off guard when she heard Alice's voice,
"Vi..Vivaldi, can I sleep with you? Thunderstorms scare me." Alice lied, she would do anything to just sleep in Vivaldi's arms, "If I can't the..." Alice watched the door open, and was let into Vivaldi's room, "Thank you, Vivaldi." Alice smiled then walked to Vivaldi's bed, she soon looked towards Vivaldi who walked to the bed and grabbed her pillow and placed the plush pillow against the sofa, "Do you not wish to rest with me?" Alice asked as she bit down on her bottom lip,
Vivaldi smiled gently, and Alice got to see this when the lightning struck down, "Alice, would it not look weird for us to share a bed?" Vivaldi asked but thrown off guard when Alice talked,
"That means you think our kiss was weird...Vivaldi, do you find me revolting? Or do you like to play head games?" Alice asked, "First you kiss me, and now you refuse to let me lay with you. I'm not saying we do anything...Vivaldi, I am scared. But I guess being in a room with a female is better than sharing a room with Peter..." Alice sighed but felt her wrist grabbed as she went to walk away, "What?" Alice asked, but soon her eyes were closed. And her arms found their way around Vivaldi's neck, as she let their kiss deepen. She felt herself being walked towards the bed. Alice opened her eyes as she looked at Vivaldi who was on top of her, "Hold me." Alice almost choked on her words, because she was nervous to sleep with a woman that was cursing her heart to beat hard. She felt a soft kiss upon her neck, then watched Vivaldi get out of bed, Alice sighed. But she then saw Vivaldi bring her pillow back to the bed. Alice laid on her side, and soon felt Vivaldi's arm wrap around her small petite frame. Alice took Vivaldi's hand, and let their fingers intertwine with each other. Alice had no clue why she felt this way...For a woman. But she did. Alice and Vivaldi held each other that night, and Alice finally slept like a baby in the older woman's arms.
