Thanks a ton for the reviews! :D Haha and yes… We all just witnessed Alice as Peter. Anyone got nicknames for that persona?
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Chapter 2: Double Trouble Cliché Title
"I love you, Julius!" Alice squealed again as she basically ran from across the room to envelope the confused man into a tight hug. Julius was too much in a daze to even say something while in her hold, much less even move.
Ace, now seeming to catch himself tilted his head to the side as he put his sword down back down, "Hey, Alice…" He said over to the girl who was still affectionately snuggling up against Julius.
When she noticed she was being addressed by the Knight, she turned to glower at the brunet that now nodded in confirmation, "Oh! So you are PMSing!" He smiled kindly at her, though it only caused her to roll her eyes.
"Moron." She mumbled lowly.
Returning her attention to the man in her arms, her expression softened greatly, "Julius!" Alice moaned, purposefully rubbing her breast his chest, a pout on her face as she gazed into the eyes of the increasingly blue-faced Clock Master, "Let's go upstairs!" She urged him cutely.
"I think it's only temporary… Every month or so for about a week." Ace reassured Julius who was now starting to try and pull Alice off of him to no avail. Oblivious to his friend's struggle, Ace let out a small chuckle, "Well, I'll be off to the Castle then, Julius! Bye, Alice!" Ace grinned at him and he vanished out the door so quickly that Julius didn't even get a chance to stop him.
"At least the idiot is gone now." Alice seriously said from the instant the door slammed shut.
The man put a hand over his face while he peered down at the drink he had on his desk with evident distaste, "I think one of the workers drugged me…" He groaned in a low voice.
Though he hadn't meant for Alice to hear him, apparently she did and she stood to her feet instantly, "What!? Which one of them!? I'll kill them! How dare they try to poison you!?" Alice growled aggressively, she pulled her bow off her head and Julius could only watch with growing fatigue as it turned into a gun. Alice dashed out of the room swiftly and not too long after she did were the sounds of gunshots and the faint agonizing cries of faceless heard throughout the office.
Julius blinked his eyes.
Eventually, the gunshots and screams came to an end.
Julius blinked again, however this time he gave his drink a look through squinted eyes,
"Definitely drugged." The Clockmaker murmured to himself before he began pouring his drink into a nearby plant's soil.
-.-
Alice huffed tiredly as she transformed her gun back into its innocent bow form and returned it to the top of her hair.
The ring on her finger was still gleaming the same soft red color in the form of light as it had before as Alice leaned herself against the wall, her breathing was entirely heavy as she almost tripped over the lifeless body of a worker she just killed a few moments ago.
Her head, once fogged and confused was slowly turning back to normal, "Ugh… What…? What happened?" She moaned in pain before her eyes flashed a similar red that the ring gave off, though only for a second. "Argh!" She cried in pain as she felt something attempt to push over her thoughts in a manner similar to a headache.
Suddenly, the entrance to the door was opened.
"Alice! I smelled blood!" Boris screamed charging into the room fiercely holding out his gun.
When his eyes spotted the female weakly at the wall and surrounded by dead bodies, his expression instantly faltered in concern and worry, "Are you okay!?" He asked while running over to her. The moment he caught her, she collapsed into his arms.
He propped her up so her head was upward and facing him and he frowned down at her anxiously, "You're not hurt are you!?"
The foreigner's eyes locked into a gaze with his and now feeling more secure she allowed her mind succumbed to the headache right before the ring triumphantly shined a light red once more. "What happened here, Alice?" He questioned her softly.
In that moment of silence, Boris could only blink when he saw the female's cerulean tinted irises quickly become a solid red color.
Before he had a chance to question her on it, she was speaking, her voice firmly and gently,
"Boris~"
Her tone was affectionate and almost came out as though she were singing a song.
The Cheshire Cat watched her in confusion, his eyebrows furrowing in shock while Alice smiled at him sweetly.
Slowly she rose from the floor with his aid as her gaze focused on him like a sniper to a motionless target. "I love you, Boris!" She shouted as she hugged him strongly.
Unprepared for the assault, Boris gave a scream before he was sent crashing to the floor with the brunette still clutching to his arm tightly.
-.-
"Urm… Are you sure you're okay Alice? You aren't sick or anything…?" Boris cautiously asked the girl who remained attached to his limp as they walked into the amusement park.
"I'm only lovesick. Lovesick for you Boris!" She giggled in reply while rubbing her face against his arm.
She had been like that ever since they left Clover Tower and although he was always one to show a bit of close affection with her, what she was doing was a bit excessive and it was beginning to unsettle him a bit.
Nonetheless, Boris smiled nervously at her in spite of the close proximity they shared and had been sharing for a while now.
"Don't you love me too?" She questioned him; Boris looked down at her sparkling teal eyes and gulped while he hesitated, a bit afraid of how she'd react if he said the wrong thing.
Clearing his throat he slowly nodded his head, "I guess…?" It came out entirely like a question because he still wasn't too sure on what exactly the hell was going on.
Alice smiled at him, his answer clearly pleasing her as she began dragging him ahead happily, "Let's go ride something!"
Boris allowed himself to be pulled, inwardly growing that much more disturbed when he came to realize exactly how much stronger she seemed.
"I'm not sure if we should. I mean you seem a little messed up in the head." He defied while he resisted her pull after a bit.
Stopping, her steps, Alice turned back to look at him. Confused, she tilted her head to the side while allowing her red eyes to inspect him.
His face had a slight blush to it and there was evidently some sweat around his forehead and judging from the way his eyebrows were furrowed, it was from nervousness… That all could only mean one thing to her,
Eyes bright with knowledge, the foreigner gave a small giggle that only caused the purple haired male to watch her cautiously.
"Ah! I get it now! Aw, you're so cute when you're embarrassed! It's okay; I'll announce it to the world for you!" Alice grinned at him as he turned gapped at her, "What are you talking about?" He demanded right before Alice cupped her hands around her mouth.
"HEY, EVERYONE! GUESS WHAT! BORIS AIRAY AND I ARE HAPPILY IN LOVE!" She shouted loud over the other commotion in the park. Everyone within the perimeter curiously stopped to look at the two as Boris clamped his hand over her mouth strongly.
Clearly embarrassed by her display, he gave her a small glare, "What's wrong with you?" He questioned her lowly while he began pulling her away.
Alice squirmed her way from beneath his hand, "You hear that ladies!? He's mine!" Alice glared at two teenage girls who passed by giggling in their direction. "I'll shoot anyone who comes too close!"
This sentence made the cat a bit uneasy because with the way she looked at the two females kind of told his intuition that she wasn't lying, "I think you need to lie down…"
"Only if you'll lie down with me!" She smiled up at him, face becoming full of fondness once more. Boris paused at the thought before he vigorously shook his head, "I can't do that!" He knew she wasn't in her right mind and taking advantage of her while she was, wasn't fair for her in the slightest.
His response made Alice pout, "Then I won't lie down! I'm perfectly fine just looking at you."
A tense silence followed as Alice continued staring at Boris who could only stare back speechless.
Without warning, the Cheshire Cat turned around and zoomed off. Alice first blinked in confusion as she watched the trail of dust left in the cat's wake slowly fall to the floor. Realizing she had been ditched, she instantly took a step forward in preparation to chase him down; however the second she did she felt her head shake up a bit.
Staggering down, she fell to her knees clutching her head in pain once again. She gasped as her head fought another headache. The ring flashed a blue alarmingly as Alice's eyes continuously switched between a deep blue color and red. Now the ring's light extended out to envelop Alice once more, but in a blue color.
"Where am I?" Two voices said in unison as the light cleared.
-.-
"Hey! Is that Boris?" Dee tilted his head to the side as they looked at one of the lamp poles in the middle of the park. Boris was easily distinguished, his tail showing out through one side and a part of his head on the other. "Hi, Boris! We can see you!" Dum shouted in an incredibly loud fashion before both twins waved at him with grins on their faces.
Boris flinched at hearing his name as he came out his hiding spot, "Not so loud… I'm hiding from Alice…" He informed with his voice hushed to a murmur while he walked over to them, his ears twitching cautiously.
At the name of the foreigner both twins perked up, "Big sis is here!?" They asked excitedly as Boris nodded while rubbing the back of his neck anxiously, "Well, she's certainly here physically…"
"Isn't that her?" Dee asked as they turned to the side. Boris immediately hid behind the twins trying to shadow himself from the girl's view. The twins simply watched the foreigner walk closer, a grin planted on her face as she completely ignored Boris. Her blue eyes glaring into Dee's with a mischievous glint and her outfit itself changed from the light blue, into a dark midnight blue.
"Do you guys want to play a game with me and my sister?" Alice questioned innocently as she hid her hands behind her back.
"Your sister?" Dum asked in apparent confusion.
Alice nodded, instantly making the three guys even more confused.
"What's the game?" Boris asked curiously, now standing up more straight to look at her.
Alice smirked now, "It's called Stay Alive!" As she said this she revealed what was behind her back;
To the three role holders alarm it was a grenade. "Now try and stay alive!" She grinned maniacally before she tossed it their way.
Instinctively, the trio scrambled to distance themselves from it and not two seconds later did it give off an explosion that radiated enough heat to motivate them to run even faster. With every other step they made ahead, another explosion went off behind them, easily signaling the foreigner was still bombarding them with the bombs.
Glancing over his shoulder in a panic, Boris watched the brunette that trailed after them persistently, "Alice, what the hell are you doing!?" He screamed as he and the twins continued sprinting, the grenades narrowly missing them with each throw she gave.
"Who the hell is Alice? My name is Ali!" Alice psychotically stated before she threw another grenade that landed dangerously near their heels.
"Big sis has gone insane!" The twins cried as they ran faster though she remained hot on their trail. "Now I kind of miss when you loved me!" Boris whined while jumping out the way to avoid a grenade that had been rolled on his pathway.
The Tweedles looked at each other and their looks mirrored the other, "I think Boris did this to her, brother!"
"What!? Me!?"
"I agree, brother. I say we sacrifice him to her."
"Come on, guys!" Boris groaned as they turned down a corner.
Now they were entering a part of the park where crowds of people were. Realizing they'd have more places to hide the three split up and ducked beneath as many people as they could manage to avoid detection.
Ali pouted as she came to a stop. She completely lost sight of them in the huge faceless gathering, but then she caught sight of a roller coaster in motion and her eyes sparkled excitedly, "Ah! I wanna ride it!"
-.-
"At least we lost her…" Boris panted as he leaned against the wall of a game stand. Dee and Dum narrowed their eyes at him, "It's your fault that big sis is crazy!" They accused strongly, their voices in perfect unison.
"My fault!?" The Cheshire Cat repeated while his golden eye glared at them.
Both nodded firmly, their eyes still critically watching him, "She wasn't like this before until you got to her."
Suddenly, the potent sent of poison wavered over to his nose and he felt his ears give a twitch. Following his intuition that was rapidly sending his body messages to act, the teen immediately allowed his body to drop to the floor with his hands covering over his head protectively.
With wide eyes, both the twins watched as a knife went soaring through the air and stabbed into the concrete wall Boris' face had just been against. A green liquid dripped off the blade and dropped on the floor only an inch away from where the role holder had dropped his body.
Boris released a heavy breath of relief but before he had a chance to fully appreciate his survival, a giggle caught his attention.
"You guys are good at this game!" Alice grinned as she hopped out the crowd, her hand twirling in her hair innocently. Now, her dress and bow were both a vivid red that matched her eyes. "My sister is bad at this game, but Ce will win this game for sure." Ce smiled as she threw a mini axe towards Dum, its appearance so incredibly spontaneous that Boris was so sure that if they weren't screwed before, they were now.
The little boy dodged it in the nick of time.
"Geez sister, your aim is getting worst." Ali commented as she walked out the crowd and stood next to Ce.
"There are two of them!" The guys said in unison holding their faces in shock as the two Alice's looked at them annoyed.
"Two of what?" Ali asked curiously.
"We're just twins." Ce finished plainly.
"Somehow… They remind me of people I know…" Boris mumbled attempting to remember as he now pushed himself up from the ground skeptically.
Dee and Dum's eyes got bigger in clear excitement, "Big sis has a twin!"
"She is now officially even better than before!"
Both boys went to hug one of the girls who looked at each other curiously before returning their eyes to the two boys that embraced them.
"I just can't put my finger on it…" Boris continued thoughtfully.
"Hey, since you two are twins… Can you do this?" They questioned as both turned into adults while hugging the Alice that matched their color. The two girls nodded proudly up at them, "We can, but we don't wanna show you!" They stuck their tongues out at them childishly.
Boris watched their interaction when suddenly everything clicked. "Alice, are you—"
Before he could finish the sentence, Dee and Dum were already dragging them away, "Come play with us at the mansion, big sisters!" They grinned as the girls followed behind cheerfully.
"O-oi! Wait up!" Boris called after them as he began running to catch up.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Ali and Ce were inspired by Unique Yet Simple, the same Alice, just split into twins, ayyee.
One thing I can't do for crap? Work on several things at once. So, this shall be updated infrequently until AinCoK is almost completed (It shall be around 15 chapters anyhow so it won't be too long)
Fingers, toes, and any other crossable things have now been criss crossed because a certain special personality should be on her way soon. I can just feel the suspense building.
