Author comments: Booyaka! Chap 7 MOTHAFUCKA! (Just ate to much chocolate, sorry I'm sure you're not a motherfucker.)
You'll notice that Alice is acting very mature even though she's just 13... Well that's because today's thirteeners are really different from yesterday's thirteeners. And the reason why I decided that Break would be the bad guy is because if you just create the right role for him he'll be an awesome antagonist, even in the anime/mangá he would be a better bad guy than Jack. (And sexier…XD)
Even with him being the bad guy, some moe-moe scenes will happen between him and Alice; while poor Kevin… losing so many things.
Some characters will appear and there will be a battle scene and I'm not sure of its graphicness but well, enjoy~!

CHAPTER 7: Chizogome No Kuro Usagi
Bloodstained Black Rabbit
~refreshing a refresher...
I'm going to slay Chains and vampires; I'll be a Chain Slayer and a Vampire Hunter. Right now I wish I could be a Dragon Slayer instead..." Alice sighed at her words and started to think about how a Chain looks like.
While this, Break started laughing at Alice's weirdness, getting her attention. "What are you laughing at, Clown?" That he wasn't expecting, a new nickname for him. Doesn't sound bad though.
"N-nothing at all~!" He stopped walking and turned to her, smiling "Welcome to Pandora~!" Alice tried her best to smile a little but the smiles weren't coming. Instead she just sighed.
Alice was still thinking about her situation; killing vampires, Chains and stuff like that. "I need to face reality like Mommy and Daddy would do..." But something that caught her mind was about how Chains look like, if they talk; typical childish curiosity.
They left the room and started walking around what she thinks is a mansion. They passed some rooms and one of them was open. Alice noticed that when they got closer to the room, Break started to walk faster like he was avoiding the room.
A new figure approached them, it was a male, long golden hair and odd colored eyes, one was red and the other was golden. Alice tried to hide her awee at his eyes by hiding herself on Break's back. However, the male figure noticed Alice and stopped walking right in front of Break.
"Why hello, Mr. Hatter." His voice was calm but Alice already knows that people with calm voices are the most suspicious ones. She also noticed that Break seemed annoyed, even though she just met him; he looked like the type of person that doesn't get annoyed. Maybe her judgement was wrong.
"Vincent." Break replied in a very dry and emotionless way, which caused Alice to shiver a little.
The figure identified as Vincent turned his eyes to the little girl beside Break. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" Now Alice noticed another thing about him, actually, two new things about him, whitey fangs. "Another vampire?" She also noticed that Break held her tight, in a protective way.
"It has nothing to do with you." Again a dry, emotionless yet icy reply. "He really must hate this guy..." Alice thought to herself, still not getting away from Break; until the latter started walking again, while that Vincent returns to his room and Alice notices a little girl waiting him inside, the girl has short silver hair and and blue-silver eyes which showed no emotion. "That girl's weird."
Alice in the middle of her thoughts completely forgot about Break who was walking already, she speed up a little and reached him. He still looked annoyed, maybe she should ask… or maybe not.
Silence surrounded them until he finally speaks "Don't ever get next to Vincent Nightray. He's the reincarnation of the devil himself." Wow, that she wasn't expecting; the hyperactive Clown can be serious sometimes… And that must mean that that Vincent guy is really dangerous. Alice slowly nodded to him, still scared as hell.
They continued walking, walking to the place where Alice would get her Chain.
After walking a lot, they stopped walking and entered a portal…
It was dark, and the floor had a chess patterned [remembers you something?]; there were some piles of ruins, destroyed things, scary and weird things.
Alice got a little scared and hided herself on Break's back, clutching his shirt's sleeve. The latter started laughing at the sight, Alice glared in reply to him. "Shut up…" He got his knees and placed his hands on her shoulders while smiling "Don't worry~. I'll protect you, *my little queen." His last words made Alice blush a little and she tried to hide it by lowing her head, however, he noticed the blush. When Alice lifted her head he was looking at her with a satisfied smirk. She turned her face around trying to skip the subject "S-shouldn't we be searching Chains?" Break sighs and stands up "We aren't searching for a Chain, you are searching." Alice doesn't get this and shoots him a confused look "When you're looking for a Chain, you have to follow your instincts; they'll lead you to a Chain similar to you." Alice kinda understands, something like: Chains choose someone that's similar to them.
Alice felt something running through her heart and hears a weird melody. Like something was calling her, she feels that she needs to find whatever's calling her. She starts walking to the direction of the unknown melody.
Break notices that a Chain had already chosen Alice, maybe even before she stepped in the Abyss. "What an amazing one. I wonder which Chain picked her." And he stays there waiting for his servant [Alice will kill me if I speak too much about her being a servant].
~Alice in her journey for a Chain…
Alice kept walking until she arrived at an empty place, it was pitch-black and things that looked like chains in many places. For some reason, she doesn't feel scared.
"Who dares to awake me from my slumber?"A weird high-pitched echoing voice suddenly started talking, and big sparkling red eyes were watching Alice.
"A-aren't you the one who called me here?" Alice thinks that the thing can be her Chain. So she reunites all her bravery to talk back to the beast.
"Tsch… And I thought that I called a big person, instead, I called a brat."Being called 'brat' is kinda offending to Alice, but she tries to keep herself calm, however, she can't, her heart is filled with many emotions she tried to lock and anger is one of them.
"Who are you calling a brat!? If I came here is only because you called me! Now stop being a rude coward and show yourself!" Alice screams all her wrath and feelings to the beast. After her screaming, silence filled their surroundings.
The beast did what she said, from the darkness emerged a giant rabbit with black fur and red eyes. It was wearing a dark pants and a red jacket with diamond print. [Alice's outfit in her bunny form]
Instead of getting scared, Alice was in awee due to its cuteness and she started laughing "You look so cute!" The beast twitched a little but then started laughing too.
"You sure are an interesting human. Alright then, I'll grant you my power." The beast turned into a chain made of light and entered Alice in the heart.
Alice felt a little pain and went on her knees, panting as she formed the Contract with the Chain.
~back to the place they arrived…
A few minutes later, she found her way back to where Break was. The latter was on the floor, like he was sleeping.
Alice was appalled, they were at a weird world (Abyss) yet he was sleeping like it was nothing. The girl gets near him and lowered herself to see his face, however "Crap, he's awake!" she wasn't waiting to see him with his eye open and smiling.
"Returned already~? How was it?" Alice tried kicking him, but as you know, she can't hit him; and it was exactly what happened. "You can't hit me, remember~?" Alice sighed and walked away from him "Let's just go back." Break chuckles and stands up "Wait~! Which Chain you got~?" He was curious and he is very direct on this cases.
Alice doesn't look that surprised, she just wants to rest a little after being impaled by a chain of light. "Um, it was a giant black bunny, I think the name is Bloodstained Black Rabbit." Alice didn't noticed but Break was like awee "The B-Rabbit!? A little girl was chosen by the Bloody Rabbit!? She's really an interesting one."
"Something's wrong?" You see, little Alice makes no idea she had made a Contract with a very powerful/badass Chain, and Break is still recovering from the awee.
"Nothing, B-Rabbit is a good Chain, let's go back." And they returned where they belonged to.
~the Contract was now all legal and stuff. Some were still doubtful when Break told them that his servant (Alice) got in few minutes, the all mighty B-Rabbit; Alice was a little angry because they didn't believed her…
Then a big tremor happened, there was a big weird portal and weird things were coming from it. Two weird doll-like giants with a fork, yes a fork, on their head.
Alice was thinking that they could be Chains, the human-eater ones. How they were going to fight that?
"Now~! It's your time to try your Chain's power~!" NOOOOOOOOOO! She mentally cursed herself for making a Contract so early; however there's no going back as Break pushes her.
"I-I'll try it!" Alice joined her bravery together and remembered why she's here; to get Kevin back, so she can't lose, she won't lose, she will win! She has a Chain right? B-Rabbit said that it would grant Alice its power, so Alice has a chance! Her heart won't give up!
"Your conviction seems strong enough, come! Show me the potential of your soul!" B-Rabbit raged from Alice's body. Light surrounded her and formed an object in her hands, a dark red scythe to be precise, and her clothing changed to the outfit she saw earlier with B-Rabbit, the jacket, instead of pants she had a short skirt and boots. Alice smiled a little after looking at herself, and switched her attention to the giant Chains.
"That scythe… The Rabbit!"One of the giants said, looking a little worried.
"It's just a brat! We can defeat it!"The other giant said trying to encourage its fellow.
The giant started walking towards Alice and tried to crush her with its giant hand; but when it noticed, it didn't had a hand anymore and Alice was on his back.
The beast cried in pain, and Alice turned to the beast "What's wrong? I'm just a brat, remember?" Alice summoned chains that restrained the Chain's limbs, and leaped to it and sliced its head off [Fuck Yea! Chop those heads off Alice!]
Blood stained everything near the Chain even Alice herself. The other vampires from Pandora were shocked at the sight; the now stained little girl actually made a Contract with B-Rabbit and she already killed one Chain, on her very first day!
Alice was shocked too, because she killed something, even being a Chain, she still committed murder. She frowned a little after seeing her bloodstained clothes and the decapitated monster.
Alice lost her concentration to her guilt complex, and as such, the remaining Chain took the opportunity to attack her; but when she finally realized and turned, the Chain paralyzed, stunned and her Master [I like saying this!] was behind her like the Chain didn't existed, completely ignoring its existence.
"If you lose your concentration then you lose your life~." He was happy, happy due to her fight, happy due to her ability and happy due to sight, the sight of a bloodstained girl [He's a frigging sadist, remember?] . People say that white roses are pure and beautiful, but every rose has thorns, those thorns eventually hurt people, people bleed and blood stain the rose, the once white rose becomes a bloody red rose.
Alice nodded still with her guilt complex, she actually thought that maybe it wasn't bad at all if the Chain killed her, since she killed the other Chain. While this, Break thinks that she's hurt, with all the blood and all the gloominess; so he crushes hugs her with all of his strength in a protective way, getting stained with the blood too. "Are you okay? Did that bastard wounded you?" Alice nodded again sadly, her eyes getting wide of fear as the male before with pale skin, pale hair and pale clothing was stained with blood, the same colour as his eye; so much blood, so much red, white gets stained; after they make eye contact the little girl passes out. Her Master grabs his cane and turns to the Chain that was still petrified, the latter shoots a threatening glare to the Chain, a glare different from the one that he once shoots to Vincent, different from the one that Kevin once shoots to himself, yet they were similar. "Humph… A simple Card Soldier that thinks much of itself appears here… under my shift… and dares to attempt touching what belongs to me… You managed to provoke my wrath!" His words were true, he is indeed irritated. "I don't wish to show her more blood for today, so let's end this quickly before she wakes." His once cane becomes a sword, a quite sharp indeed. A single slash and the Card Soldier meet its miserable fate slowly fading. "You…! The Mad Hatter…!" Break simply ignored the dying Chain and went on his way, now with Alice on his arms he carried her in bridal style; leaving the miserable one fading. "That fate serves you right." And now, a satisfied smile appears on his face.
No one, I mean, NO ONE can touch his little queen, and he is possessive of his belongings. Although she hates him for blah blah blah and blah blah blah, she belongs to him and his love for her is like her loathe for him; unstoppable. He always felt that way, from the day they met to nowadays. Even though it was Kevin who met her in the past, he was there with her too; silently watching and loving her. And now he is with her, personally.
Alice slowly started to open her eyes still with a little ruckus on her head and noticed that she was on Break's arms, the Chain nowhere to be seen. "Where's the Chain…?" Her words showed tiredness and lack of energy "I killed it." He killed it like Alice killed the other Chain, it still gave her guilt complex "Don't worry~! The beast had to die anyway~." His annoying sing-song tone is back, yet it brings a little of comfort to Alice, if the beast didn't died it would kill other innocent people, and she protected those possible victims.
She straightens herself on his lap and rests her head on his chest, a very moe-moe scene but her tiredness doesn't care right now, she just wants to rest and forget everything a little. Her Master smiles at the sight and holds her well, as he wished before. "I'll get some blood for ya later~." Alice opens her eyes a little and whispers "I hate you…" for reminding her that she needs to drink blood, he answers her in whispers with a "I love you too." She closes her eyes and rests; as they go back to Pandora.
But they don't know that they're being watched by evil *heterochromatic eyes. They better prepare for worst.
END OF CHAPTER
For Your Information:
*If you recall Break's words to Alice "My little queen", that in Japanese would be "Chiisana watashi no jou-sama" actually make part of Gakupo Kamui's song 'The Mad Hatter'; and like many Pandora Hearts characters are related to characters of 'Alice In Wonderland', Break's character is related on a mix of 'The White Knight' and 'Mad Hatter' characters.
Funny enough, in Pandora Hearts, Break made a Contract with a Chain named 'Mad Hatter', and in the past while as Kevin, he made an Illegal Contract with a Chain named 'Albus, The White Knight'.
Also; his best friend is Liam Lunettes, who's Chain is named 'March Hare'; and in 'Alice In Wonderland' the March Hare is Mad Hatter's best friend too.
*heterochromatic: comes from heterochromy; and it stands for beings with different eye colour, it's a genetic thing or maybe because of a disease or accident.
