Victor: Nope. It is her inspiration and I am not going to be the one to get beat senseless because I took away her DVD. I am not becoming like Embry. -points over to an unconscious Embry, who looks like he just met with a vampire-

Paul: -sweat drops- Okay I agree.

JJ-Jefferu:-glares at them- Sheesh, why do y'all have to be mean? Just because I'm excited that I found and bought Alice yesterday?

Seth: Yes 'um.

My mom was shocked when I step into the house. She wasn't expecting me until Sunday night. She seemed even more shocked when I went into Kathleen's room and begin to pack a few things. I think my mom realized something was up and walked in.

"What are you doing Key," my mom asks. She nicknamed me that because I was pretty much like a key, almost there to solve problems and always seemed to get us out of trouble. I sigh and look over at her as I put the last of her stuff into her backpack.

"I'm not too sure what's going on mama but I think it would be safer for her to come and stay with me. I know I never wanted to introduce her to Carol this earlier but I had a run in with Dereck and I-," she cuts me off.

"It is okay sweetie, I can understand that. Take her with you if that's what you want, but please let me know you're both safe. I don't think I could stand loosing another person," we lost my foster sister two years earlier, and my foster father died five years ago of a work related accident.

"Oh mom," I say and hug her closely. "You'll know as soon as I do. I swear," I pull back and grab my daughters' bag and go around her to get Kathleen from the playroom. She looks up as I enter the room and she smiles brightly.

"MOMMY," she runs at me, I kneel down and pick her up.

"Sweetie we are going to visit a friend of mine. Go tell Grammy that you're leaving," I put her down and she runs towards my mom.

The car ride was surprisingly very silent. Kathleen was in the backseat sleeping. She was kind of tired, had a long day. I was messing with my loose threads. It was nervous habit that I had and one that helped me calm myself down. I could tell Hatter kept glancing at me then at Kathleen.

"She's really pretty ya know," Hatter says starting up a conversation.

"I know, she's my little angel. I love her to death. You would never imagine she's the product of a rape," I say whispering the last part, Kathleen was smart for a three year old and I wasn't willing to let her know this now.

"Yeah I wouldn't have known that had you not told me," he says then pauses before he says anymore. "I wouldn't have let that happened," he whispers, maybe so I couldn't hear, but I did. Hatter pulls the car to the stop and cuts it off. I look up at the place and sigh.

"This is it?" he nods. I guess it's better than nothing.

"Let's get inside. We can put Kathleen to bed and sit down and talk about Dereck and what his intentions are," David, I mean Hatter, says as he opens the back car door, gently getting Kathleen out. I smile at this thinking it was so cute, then quickly shake the thought. I grab her bag, along with mine and follow Hatter into the building.

After putting Kathleen down to bed in what appeared to be Alice's old room, I walk into the living room where Hatter was waiting. When we came in Carol decided she was going to bed, she did not want to hear whatever it was that Hatter was going to be telling me. She did not even glance at Kathleen as we entered. Apparently she wasn't going to accept her, which made me a little peeved. I take a seat next to Hatter on the couch and turn towards him.

"Care to explain this to me now," I say softly. I was starting to think maybe this wasn't the best idea. Hatter takes a breath and proceeds to tell me his story. ((A/N: think of what happened in Alice, I am not going to retell those events, you should know what they are if not then why are you here?))

I sit there staring at Hatter with my eyes wide. Jack, Alice's ex-boyfriend, was now the King of Hearts. Apparently Dereck is Jack's older brother and was plotting to over throw Jack. To do so Dereck needed me, why Hatter would not explain. Also it seemed that I was chosen for a reason, because I was Alice's younger sister, even if I didn't know it at the time. They had been following after Dereck for years, a little after I met him. Apparently when I was just a junior in high school was around the time when Alice over threw the Queen of Hearts. My head was just swirling with millions of thoughts.

"Are you okay Al-," I snap out of my thoughts and look at Hatter as he bites his lip, he had stopped himself from calling me Alice. So I really did remind everyone of my dead sister, I now would only remind people of Alice. That's just lovely. I stand up quickly and start to leave but am stopped when Hatter grabs my arm. "Kerra I didn't mean it. I'm sorry, it was slip of the tongue," I half face Hatter.

"It doesn't matter. All I'll ever remind anyone of is Alice. I don't think I can handle any of this. I'm sorry Hatter I don't know that I can help you; with whatever it is you want. I'm not Alice nor could I ever be," I say as I slip away from Hatter and head towards Alice's old room.

JJ-Jefferu: Hope you like the new chapter. It seems my chapters are getting longer. Though I like my endings where I do. I hope they don't seem like cliffhangers. Because they are not, I don't think.

Victor: REVIEW AND ALERT OR WHAT NOT!!

Embry:-growls and takes off with JJ-Jefferu- Peace.

Victor: -growls-
