I looked over at my oc Leon and asked fearfully, "Are they gone?"

My darling oc walked over to the window in my room and flung open to curtains to see a lot of angry faces pressed against the glass. Calmly, he replaced the curtain and walked over to me with pity on his face. "No, my lady."

"Well...fuck." I cursed and I began typing. "I better get this bitch done then before I get hate reviews."

"Indeed. Updating your story is preferable to the alternative to being exiled." Leon smiled gently and I gave him a dark glare.

"Go to hell Leon! Or at least do the fucking disclaimer!"

"Certainly," Leon goes the the window and smiles charmingly at the angry faces. "Now now, none of that loves. My dear creator does not own your precious Heart no Kuni no Alice. So you best be on your way and wait patiently for her story."

"Fucking writers block!" I cursed as my hands typed like they were on speed. "And fuck these hard to write characters!"

A spotlight illuminated a tall young man in a dark pin striped suit with a navy blue tie around his neck. Long dark hair with green highlights was pulled into a tasteful ponytail as light blue eyes glittered out into the dark audience from the golden stage he was standing on with the brilliant crimson curtains behind him.

"Once, long ago," the young man began in a low tenor voice, his voice bounced off the silent walls giving his voice an echo effect. "there lived a young man who was told to be brilliant from all his peers."

"Little did they know," that same tenor sounding voice continued, but the current speaker on the stage did not move his lips. A second spotlight turned on and trained on the 'new' second voice to reveal another young man with the same features as the first but with hair cut short to the nape of his neck with two hair clips holding unruly bangs out of his face. The tie this new short haired person was a crimson red with the same pin stripped suit with matching crimson eyes. "That the young man was schizophrenic, despite being a genius. Each voice in his head was like a new person each with their own ideas and way of thinking."

"One cold gloomy day this young man decided to dabble in black magic." ponytail man sighed angrily and placed a pale hand to his face in frustration. "The fool thought that he was possessed by demons and had wanted to exorcise them out of his person."

"What an idiot!" crowed the short haired man, "despite the warnings from the church his family had attended he went against God and performed an exorcism on himself."

"But something went wrong with the self exorcism - as most things tend to happen to humans who thought they had free will – and he instead had split his soul in half." blue eyes narrowed dangerously as a small dark smirk filled the ponytail mans face. "You humans are so insufferable at times."

"Two parts of the same soul might as well be twins." short hair grinned evilly. "In fact they were twins."

"But a soul cannot survive without a body otherwise the purity of the soul can become easily corrupted and it can turn into a poltergeist." a dark smile replaced the smirk on the blue eyed mans face. "So now instead of two identical human souls there was only two identical poltergeist souls."

"The two poltergeist souls terrorized the young mans family causing all sorts of fun stuff to happen." the crimson eyed young man gave a dazzling evil grin to his blue eyed twin. "Do you remember his mother brother?"

"Indeed I do, brother." blue eyes smiled back just as evil. "Had a heart attack she did. That one." he gave a low chuckle.

"Anyway, back to the story." crimson eyes gave a sudden irritated huff. "Of course all fun must come to an end. The two brave handsome poltergeists fun end came in the form of a female exorcist with ugly dark black hair and poo colored brown eyes."

"We are not trying to be spiteful, you must understand," blue eyes grinned mischievously, "It's just that this female exorcist was very ugly."

"Very, very ugly." crimson eyes agreed with a large grin. "And she was HUGE!"

"Ahem." blue eyes coughed politely into his clenched hand. "Anyway, yeah so we were trapped thanks to an ugly exorcist in some gaudy evil looking gargoyles that were guard dogs to the young mans estate."

"And the icing on the 'this sucks so much' cake was that the exorcist told the people in the mansion that she had us trapped there. So of course they moved out of the mansion and took everything except for the stone guard gargoyles."

"So imagine the complete and awful boredom we suffered because of that exorcist bitch." blue eyes growled in his throat for a minute before continuing. The look on his face shifted from anger to soft and caring. "Of course if that bitch hadn't trapped us then we wouldn't have met our wonderful big sister."

"Big sister. ~" crimson eyes narrowed dreamily. "We love big sister. ~"

"Yes we do." blue eyes nodded his head happily with a smile. "And if it wasn't for big sister we would still be stuck at that god forsaken mansion instead of our new home."

"Do you remember what she said to us brother?" crimson asked with a small smile.

"Of course I remember brother." blue eyes gave a wide smile. Both brothers stared at each other with matching wide smiles before extending one hand to the other.

"Do you want to come home with me?" both brothers voices asked each other as the spotlights turned off suddenly for effect.

"Honestly you two." Alice growled as she wiped the last of the persimmon juice from Elliot's furious face. Blue sapphire eyes landed on two small grinning twin boys.

"Dee" the blue twin smiled widely at Alice when her eyes landed on solely him.

"and Dum Tweedle." the red twin smiled happily at Alice's attention now directed at him.

"You little bastards." Elliot growled lowly as he placed the safety of his gun off. "If you weren't already dead, I would kill you both."

"Stupid idiot rabbit needs to learn his place." Dee grinned evilly as a giant halberd formed in his hands. "Taking big sister with you, hovering over her, and getting attention from her is not nice to us poor kids."

"Not nice. Not nice at all!" exclaimed Dum angrily as another identical halberd joined his blue brothers. "Fat idiot rabbit needs to be punished."

BAM!

"Not if I have anything to say about it." growled Alice with her clenched fist raised above the two twin's aching heads. The twins looked behind them at Alice with tear filled eyes only to be met with angry sapphire. "Don't give me that look." she threatened the boys while raising her fist again at them causing them to wince slightly. Her eyes softened a bit but hardened when Elliot gave a disgusted grunt behind them to discover that his beloved purple scarf was covered in sticky juice, his beloved gun holstered at his side at the moment.

"Apologize." she bit out harshly at the boys who winced again at her hardened expression. Her eyes narrowed dangerously. "Now."

"We're sorry." both boys gave Elliot tear filled eyes and a few sniffles causing the orange haired brown rabbit eared man to look at them in surprise. Elliot's eyes narrowed dangerously as the twins gave dark grins at him with their backs turned to a sympathetic Alice. "We were only playing, we didn't mean to cause any harm."

"'Didn't mean to cause any harm' my ass." Elliot muttered angrily. He gave the twins a wide smirk before replying, "Apology NOT accepted you little shits."

"ELLIOT MARCH!" he had the decency to flinch when his blue eyes met Alice's for just a moment. Those fluffy brown ears of his perked right up in fright as Alice's figure gave off a menacing aura. 'Accept the apology' it screamed from her pores. 'Accept it...accept it...'

"GOD DAMN IT!" he cursed loudly before turning away from Alice's glare. "Alright! You little rat bastards are forgiven!"

Alice's menacing aura disappeared all together and both the twins and rabbit eared man could swear that the air around them was somehow easier to breathe.

"Wonderful! Now that we have that out of the way, let's go Elliot!" Alice smiled brightly before walking over to the orange haired young man and grabbing his arm. She had only walked about three steps with Elliot being dragged behind her before those two identical halberds appeared in front of her.

"Not so fast sis." Dee smiled happily at Alice before a dark glint entered his eye. "Where is it that you think you are going with the stupid rabbit?"

"I'm not a rabbit." Elliot growled angrily containing his anger as best he can. It would be in the interest of his health he didn't yell at the two twins with Alice holding his arm in a vice like grip.

"Shopping. Where else would I take Elliot?" Alice asked huffily. Dee didn't look convinced of her answer.

"Just shopping? Or is it maybe..." Dum leaned over a bit towards Alice, his crimson eyes blazing with a dark fire. "You are going on a date with the idiot rabbit?" Dum nodded at his brothers question and both twins pierced Alice with their stare.

"I'm not a fucking rabbit." Elliot hissed under his breath yet again while his unoccupied hand went to brush against the gun at his side.

"Honestly you two." Alice glared with her face flushed red. "I'm just taking Elliot with me to help carry my bags home."

The twins gave her a 'yeah, right' look before looking at each other. A few minutes passed at what seemed to be a private conversation between the twins before both their weapons disappeared from their hands and they both bowed at Alice before sweeping a hand towards the open arched gate.

"Have a safe trip sis." Dee exclaimed happily not even attempting to raise his head to look at Alice causing her to pause and give him a worried stare.

"Yeah, have a safe trip." Dum mirrored enthusiastically mimicking his brother and not raising his head to look at Alice.

"Erm...right." Alice continued to drag a suspicious Elliot behind her towards the gate. Both didn't see the twins rise with matching looks on their faces, the face of malicious intent crossed those cherub like faces.

They waited until Alice and Elliot had left the grounds before turning to each other and disappearing into the air. There was much to be done before their beloved sister came back from shopping.

"Ah!" Alice cracked her back with a wide smile. Her arms lifted above her head in a happy stretch while a chuckling Elliot followed closely behind her carrying many bags in his arms. Happy sapphire eyes turned to her shopping companion before exclaiming happily, "We sure made a good haul tonight Elliot."

"Hell yeah we did." Elliot smiled big when his eyes shifted to a bag on his right. His ears perked up as a tantalizing look of whip cream and an orange carrot flashed from the top opening, his mouth watered in anticipation of the carrot cake he was carrying as a treat from Alice for helping her.

"I think I will make some beef stew with some white rice and maybe some herb chicken." Alice mused to herself, deciding on the dinner menu for tonight. Elliot shrugged his shoulders uncaring.

"Do what you want. You're the only one eating it anyway." Elliot blinked suddenly when Alice stopped in the middle of the side walk in front of him. She turned around and gave Elliot a sad look causing him to regret what he just said. Stumbling over his words he quickly bit out, "But I might have some. It sounds delicious."

"Yeah." her eyes lost the happiness and she turned away from him to begin walking again. "Delicious."

Elliot felt like an idiot and began to curse himself in his mind as the remaining walk back to he mansion was filled with silence.

Alice laid in bed that night tired and alone with only her thoughts occupying her mind.

Do what you want. You're the only one eating it anyway.

Those words replayed in her mind over and over again.

You're the only one eating it anyway.

She tossed and turned in her large king sized bed.

You're the only one eating...

"Elliot you idiot." She cried suddenly. "You're alive too."

Her thoughts raced to the dining room after she had prepared her meal and a second one for Elliot. The look of horror on her face when Elliot took a sip of her soup and came crashing down from his seat while vomiting blood on the floor. It took the remainder of the night for a frustrated Blood to explain to Alice that carrots or carrot dishes were the only thing Elliot could eat.

"If Elliot ate anything else it would be against his nature young lady. And thus he would not be Elliot anymore that I would be a solid being." Bloods emerald green eyes glinted off the chandelier. "A Hare can never eat human food. It would kill them."

"I didn't know." Alice wept into her pillow. "I didn't...know..."

Tears falling down her face, nose red from the use of tissue, that was the state the two twins found her in on her bed. Crying herself to sleep. And yet the twins found her beautiful still.

"Are you ready brother?" Dee asked Dum beside him when they reached her bed.

"Yup, ready." Dum smiled brightly. Both brothers looked at Alice a smiled big while each holding a sharp looking blade. Dee positioned himself over her heart while Dum hovered over her neck.

"On three, ready?" Dee asked excitedly as Dum nodded his head just as excited.

"One..." they both raised their blades above their heads with wicked grins on their innocent looking faces.

"Two..." each blade poised ready to plunge in their targets as the air around them grew thick with tension.

"THREE!"

Both twins cried out in fury when a dark tendril of energy shot out from the darkness in Alice's room towards them. The new attack came at such a shock to the two gate keepers that they dropped their weapons on Alice's bed. But the energy didn't stop there not by a long shot. It broke off into tiny tendrils and wrapped around each of the twins arms, legs, and even around their stomach before lifting them above Alice's bed. Their terrified cries woke up Alice suddenly and she sat up in bed with a piece of paper clutched in her hands, courtesy of a mother hen Julius, before blinking in surprise at the twins floating above her head.

"Dee? Dum?" she asked confused before a new voice from the darkness directed her attention to them. "What are you...?"

A voice tsked in the darkness before turning on the lights of her room. Alice's breath caught in her throat as her beloved White and Black Joker stood in her room as solid as any person could get.

"Wha?" she began before Black decided to scoff in irritation.

"Fucking little bastards." Black growled at the twin gate keepers with a scowl on his face. He clenched his fist and gave a dark smirk as both children cried out in pain. "Did you honestly think that by killing the whore you were gonna have a new specter playmate?"

"My my, this won't do." White sighed dramatically with his hand against his forehead to hold the headache at bay. "It's a good thing we came just in time to stop that from happening."

"Let us go!" both twins cried out angrily as they struggled against the dark tendrils. "Put us down!"

"Fuck that." Black smiled darkly. "You little brats are going where all bad little ghosties and monsters go...STRAIGHT TO HELL!"

At the twins frightened cry Alice could take no more and jumped out of bed. Quickly she ran towards her dresser where her pendant was placed with the sad and happy theater masks. She was only two steps away from her pendant before a charming smiling White poofed – that's right I said poofed – right in front of Alice. She tried to stop before crashing into White's chest but failed and was now being held prisoner in his strong arms.

"It's so good to see you again Alice." White smiled while looking solely at her face. "Have you been well?"

Before Alice could answer Black bit out, "She was almost killed by her mansion buddies. I think the question you should ask the whore is if she thinks she is safe."

"I'm perfectly safe here!" Alice bit out angrily at a grinning Black. She huffed hotly before turning her attention to White. "Why are you here? I thought the Higher Power promoted you guys and that you couldn't return to my side?" she stopped and blinked a bit before adding with a blush, "and in the world of the living on top of that."

"The Higher Power has graciously given us a lease on life." White answered happily while Black snorted in the background. "It's actually a funny story if you have time to listen to it young miss."

"Oh, I think I have time." Alice narrowed her eyes before turning her head to find Black giving her a once over in her night gown. Blushing darkly she barked out, "PUT THEM DOWN NOW BLACK!"

"No can do 'princess'," Black smiled smugly before moving his hand and jostling the crying twins caught in his magic. "These two where about to commit a serious offense. They deserve to be punished."

"..." Alice gave Dee and Dum a sad look before turning her head back towards White. Tears fell down her eyes before she closed them with a pained expression on her face. "Fine. Just...be gentle. They are children."

"Like hell they are children." Black smiled big at the now scared children. "Looks like your asses are mine."

Both twins gave out shouts of alarm when darkness covered them and Black. Alice sighed tiredly before looking over her shoulder where Black and twins once where with a heavy heart. White placed a hand on her shoulder bringing her attention to him with a soft smile.

"Now...about that story..." Alice began while White lifted her chin with his free hand and smiled gently. He leaned forward slightly towards her lips and whispered against them.

"In time. I have missed you Alice..."

A spotlight shone bright on a ginger haired young man with a slight smile on his face. He brought a hand up towards the audience and gave a saucy grin.

"Would you all like to come home with me?"

"Come home with Joker? What fun we would have with you!" darkness covered the male as a background of a smiling mask covered the entire back stage. "You can never escape the Jokers!"
