O-o The results are in aaaand the finals is (Note I also asked a few friends who had absolutely no clue what this was for, so numbers will differ from if I just did reviews only. You'll thank for it was a much less crueler fate thanks to all picking 2):

1-0

2-6

3-3

Break continued eyeing the girl suspiciously. This really wasn't right. Why was this girl here? How? And why did she only have that sweet innocent smile on her face? If he didn't know any better, he'd almost accuse her of being a naive sheltered child.

"Why is everyone multiplying? First the kid, now the stupid rabbit, who's next!?"

"Ah, Emily, Oz seems to have his own kind of twin as well. He lives in his head."

"Wah!? You won't multiply too, will you!?" Emily started flailing on his shoulder. He laughed.

"No, no. Don't worry. There's only one of me~" he winked the doll.

"Are you going to just stare and stalk me, or are you going to say something, Kevin?"

Break froze completely, his entire body stopping at the mention of his old name. It wasn't really the fact that it was mentioned that made him stop, but it was the fact the she knew who he was and remembered. She giggled at him and turned expectantly.

"Well?"

Break laughed and pushed back any fears he possible had walked toward her grinning like an idiot, popping a lolipop into his mouth.

"Wah!! What're you doing! Get away from the scary rabbit! Break! BREAK!!" Emily screeched. He pointedly ignored her.

"If I were you..." he said quietly, "I'd refrain from using that name. My name is Xerxes Break, servant of the Reinsworth household."

Another giggle, "You're still Kevin, no matter what they say. You're still the one that allowed his household to die."

Break smiled bitterly, "I did that, yes. But now, I have more important matters, like say, how you got here?"

Alyss grinned, her face become awfully sadistic. "A 'path' opened, if you must know."

"From what?"

She glided toward him a hand tracing around his shoulder. Break didn't even blink as he let her continue, "A certain little pair of twins. They're quite powerful, you know." another giggle, "Or, they must be, being able to open up their own 'path.'"

Break chuckled, "Are you trying to imply that their birth created a 'path'?"

She smiled, leaning back against him, "Yes. I'm wondering if they could do it again."

Break just stared down at the girl unamused, not reacting in the least to her actions, " You wouldn't be planning something, would you?"

"Why would I need to plan something? I rule Abyss. If I want, I can create it."

"Except a way out, right?"

Alyss looked at him, suddenly looking incredibly dark. Then Break started to laugh, and gently eased her off, "Ah, well, we better go! You have places to be, and I think Reim needs to be pestered by now."

He made a slight bow and went on his way leaving a grinning Alyss behind. If everyone in this Reinsworth mansion was so into this game, she imagined she would have great fun.

Alice stared at the two little lookalikes. Honestly, if it wasn't' for the outfits that dictated which was male and which was female, and the fact that Azlyn had green eyes and darker hair while Jack had blond hair and violet eyes, she'd be confusing them to no end. Oz was off somewhere doing who knows what with Gil, leaving Alice to get to know her kids.

Over the past three days she had learned Jack was hyper and always giggling or trying to get out of his carriage, while Azlyn was less hyper and preferred to inspect things before joining in her twin escapes. Whenever they saw Alice, she would let her brother get most of the attention and stayed silent until Alice eyed her curiously. Half of her wondered if she would end up being like her aunt.

"They're cute, aren't they?"

Alice turned at the voice, a scowl immediately on her face. Speak of the devil and she will appear.

"What do you want?"

"Really, now. Is that any way to treat your sister? I'm just looking out for you, you know."

Alyss walked in gracefully smiling prettily, before walking past her and looking down on the two newborns. Jack giggled and reached up to her, pulling on one of the long braids. Alice saw her sister visibly twitch but it was quickly replaced by a smile. The other, Alyss noticed, only stared curiously at her. Like it knew she wasn't it's mother, and just some odd lookalike.

"Get away from them."

"Why? He seems to like me. I might be with him soon enough, anyways."

Alice growled, pulling her sister away by the shoulder, quite roughly. She wouldn't be surprised if there was a bruise there later.

"What do you mean, he's going to be with you? He's staying here. With me. If it were up to me I wouldn't even let you near them."

"Oh?" Alyss grinned, "You'd prefer I take the girl then?"

"You're not taking either of them!"

Alice felt a lot more in control than she usually would. Usually with Oz or Gil she had to look up at them, losing some of her leverage. With her twin however, she was eye to eye. Part of her wanted to bash her face in, make it unrecognizable ever again. The other half, however, decided it wanted to be friends with her. Wanted to be a family just once more.

Alyss took Alice's trembling fist in both her hands, sensing the emotions going through her. She leaned forward, making contact at their foreheads and smiled as though they had been together for their entire lives and this was natural. Like this was their thing that said they were sisters and nothing could come between them.

"I'm not doing it for me, you know," she said quietly, moving her hands so they rested on Alice's upper arms and smiled gently, "It's for you. You don't know it yet, but, you can't handle two kids. You know what's it like to be neglected, right?" here, Alice shut her eyes tightly and her hands clenched into fists a slight nod being made. She didn't like the twins had suddenly gone quiet, either. Her sister seemed to have that effect on them.

"I'm just looking out for you. I've been doing it all along, you know. Ranging from trying to save Oz's life by terminating the contract in a way that wouldn't kill you, to giving the clown a reason for sharing his past with you."

"You're lying."

"Am I?"

Alice nodded, taking a step back. This was the girl that ripped peoples' eyes out and took her prisoner countless times. The reason why Chesire had once wanted to kill her. The reason why she hadn't been allowed to live a normal child's life. Why, essentially, she wasn't her own person. Amazing, wasn't it? The very person she hated, she had no choice but to love.

That trademark giggle, "Then I suppose you wouldn't know that your...consort...accepted the deal, either?"

"W-what deal?"

Alyss tilted her head to the side slightly and looked like something between confused and bewildered, "You mean he didn't tell you? In return for my removing that poison from you –and no, you didn't get rid of it, it was one of the trickier ones-- I was to take one of your children."

"Wh-what!?" Alice took a step back, trying to comprehend the information. Oz gave away one of their children just like that? Without even asking her? She knew it was her life on the line, but was their children's lives not more important?

"I'm so sorry! I thought he had already told you..."

"Y-you're messing with me! He...he would've told me..." Wouldn't he?

Alyss hesitantly wrapped Alice into a hug. The latter didn't respond to it for awhile, wanting to push her away, but eventually rested her head against Alyss's shoulder. She didn't know why. This person was going to take away her child.

"I'm still looking out for you, Alice."

Alyss sounded sincere, and her using the name 'Alice' to refer to her meant she had accepted they were one. That it was really her name and they just simply shared it. But, if Alice had been able to see her face, she would know it was exactly the opposite. The giant grin and sadistic look in her eyes yelled the exact opposite of what she sounded like.

There had been a reason why she left out the alternative to the deal. Why she had easily manipulated her poor sister into believing Oz had already made the decision. Why she was being so nice. What better way to ruin her sister than to strike the very core of her being?

Dx One of my worst, I know.

I'm gettin' lazy.

Forgive me Q_Q

Also, for those of you wondering, I'm guessing this will end in around in about 5 more chapters, maybe 10 if I push it.
