CHAPTER 11
.
.
.
JOKER´S POV
.
.
I was on my way to Clover to capture the bunch of faceless that attacked the hatters territory during that forsaken ball and who for my disgust where not the same ones that attacked the *** building where I met her.
I was also on my way to a roleholder´s meeting the caterpillar had officially called. ( What a bother… Although I do wonder what the meeting is about).
.
-Who f***** cares! Those meeting are always a waste of time.
-True.
-You think they will bring the foreigners?
-Nha. They will try to keep them far away from us. The hatter will try to keep his precious Alice locked up in his mansion and who knows where Aria decided to stay. How rude of her to not have come see me.
-The **** bitch probably all ***** cozy friend with Alice right now.
-I wouldn´t be so sure…
-How **** not? She probably rushed to join the other foreigner.
.
I arrived at the zone where the ****** were going to gather and spotted the place, it was a ruin of a building. I already knew they were inside as I saw one slip in.
.
-(As soon as I **** beat the ****** out of them I´m calling my after images to take them to the prison, I want to torture the *****! )
-Aren´t you a bit too angry? Does the new girl not visiting has been even more of a bother than the meeting?
-Shut the *** ** *** up.
-Fine, we´ll torture them as soon as we get back. ( ^_^ )
.
I quickly made my way inside, I heard someone in the floor above, so I ran through a corridor, I wanted to surprise as many as I could.
.
BAM!
.
-FU** DAMMIT! (I´m gonna beat the crap out of this ***************** first!)
-Black… I think we should stop meeting this way.
.
I looked down; Bellow me was the new foreigner. I had crash with her… again.
.
-Bitch….
-Bastard….
.
She was wearing that ***** armor, (Has she even washed that ****** thing?) in her arm were flashing some moving red points. She saw me looking at the points and her expression changed, she looked at me and her green shining eyes widened.
.
-Move Black!
-Want to be on top w*****?- (I grinned, last time she was on top).
.
She somehow moved her pelvis and arched her back to push herself a little upwards and in a fast and sudden move she hooked her legs around my waist, crossed her feet at my back and used all her weight and strength to move make us roll to the side behind a wall.
.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
.
Bullets impacted where we had been (She ***** tried to save me again!). We got up and she ran to the other end of the corridor before backing away, she looked at the dots on her arm and put her shoulder against the wall at the corner a few meter from a turn.
.
-How the ****** are we going to run away this time!? It´s your fault!
-Run away! You ******* coward! I'm here to capture them! ….What the ******* ***** are you doing here anyways?!
-Capture them!? But that's like a 100 times harder!
.
She looked at me and then at her arm again, then at me again and lowered herself a bit against the wall.
.
-Como demonios******************************** (furious and frenetic string of profanities in another language) **********************!
.
I didn´t knew the language she was speaking, but If anyone could understand when someone was spitting profanities it had to be me. - (I have never seen anyone else but me cuss so much, dammit! ) . She took out a small rod from somewhere in her clothes and turned her back on me.
.
-There are 13 coming your way and will appear from that door, 7 more are still in the upper floor, the one who shot us and other 3 are hiding at the right side of the wall pass the next room, there were a few more but they got out of my range, the ***** probably escaped already or are trying to round us. There are only a few in this way, I´ll take them on, but if I see a change to escape I will. Good luck.
.
- (What the ******. How does she ******* know that?!).
.
I couldn´t ask her anything because in that instant more bullets came from where the ***** had tried to shot me (like that would **** work on me!), I stepped aside and saw that from the other side of the corner she was covering, some **** came out, but she had been prepared and in a swift move she extended the rod and hit the fu**er hard, more funny was the ***** had some spasms even after he was on the ground (Oh? She has style. That thing is electrified. I wasn´t wrong, she IS interesting). She didn´t waste time and ran away.
.
I chuckled evilly, (You think I will let you get away so easy now that you have my attention?) , let´s see if I can catch her before she runs away. I turned to deal with the ***** she mentioned, it's not as if any bullet can kill me. Joker can only be truly killed by a foreigner.
.
It didn´t took me long to deal with that scum, they had been exactly where she said they were. My afterimages were already fading in the shadows with the captives and taking them to the prison when the heavy shoots were heard. I went in the direction she had headed and stumbled upon various bodies on my way (How considerate of her, she left them unconscious for me to pick up. Fucking bitch… ) ) I simply made my way until I reached what could have been a reception, there she was, almost at the entrance but surrounded by three *****, one was already falling down. It was clear she was trying to get away, but was unable to do so and one of the other two was aiming her with a gun while the other had a huge knife.
.
-Need help bitch? – Casually I asked while I was deciding if I should step in or let her deal with it (And probably get killed).
.
They got distracted and the one with the knife took a charge at her, rather than trying to evade she parried the knife with her root and the ***** was fried, but that gave the other the incentive to shot.
I knew she was hit because of how the impact made her body move and twist, I hadn´t like that, I wanted to be the one to play with her and if she died I wouldn´t be able to do so, I didn´t waste time and shoot the *****. To my surprise she didn´t fall dead, she twisted and used a round kick to sent that *** to the ground, that was unnecessary cause I had killed him.
.
I saw 2 bullet marks on her shoulder, one near where her heart was and I couldn´t help but get angry because I almost let that sound stop before I had time to play with it properly.
.
-Seems like we´re even, bitch- I got near hear, she was breathing a bit hard but didn´t seem about to die, perhaps she was in shock.
-Don´t count on it bastard, I helped you before you got shot, twice. – She said between breaths (fuc***** bi***, she´s … shes *** right, argh!)
-Whatever, you still own me for not visiting me (Damn, like I need her to visit me).
-Maybe that one is true – she said and examined her shoulder… barely a round mark could be seen.
-(What the fuck is that shitty armor made of!?) Wait what?
-I respect you and your time, I also consider visiting without a good reason to be rude. But that might just be my perception and I'm again in a cultural shock thing, so why don´t we go for a drink? My treat.
-(Did she just invite ME to get a drink? Ok, she´s definitely mental)Your deal bitch, lets go.
.
.
AT THE MEETING
.
.
It looks like I´m receiving more angry looks than usual, I wonder why? (As if I care! XD) , but this is getting boring, everyone is here already and no fighting has break out yet and my counterpart is getting busy, so I put my belt mask in my pocket to spare him the idioticness of the discussions that will surely occur. .
.
-We are here, so speak already before we behead you incubus! – The queen of hearts said.
-This better be important, I´m preparing my awesome next event- Said Gowland.
-Mary´s events are so boring and dull that it doesn´t really matter- The hatter countered the park owner.
-Enough! –finally the lizard decided to start the meeting.
.
Before anyone else interrupted Nightmare took the word.
.
-We gathered everyone to talk about the extremely rare occurrence of a 2º foreigner appearing in wonderland while there is still one around.
-Have the new foreigner being found yet? –The ears of the 2º in command of the mafia perked immediately.
-You mean she haven´t visited Alice yet? – The mortician was surprised.
-Where is the new nee-chan? – One of the bloody twins asked
-She´s been at the castle dirtying the books of the library for the past time changes.- Huffed the white bunny.
-You mean she got lost in the library? – asked the lost knight.
-She seems to have been lost for many time changes – said the Cheshire cat –Or perhaps someone kept her from going somewhere.
.
At that mention most of them turned to look at me (So they think I kept her locked or something?). I felt an impact in my body (Seems that my counterpart is having fun), and then a force around my waist (And he´s quite excited, something good must have happened, probably killed some scum in a gruesome way in front of their peers).
.
-In any case it's amazing that there is a 2º foreigner… - The incubus tried to continue
-And who brought her? – The hatter interrupted, he clearly wasn´t pleased now that his ***** wasn´t such a unique prize, was he?
-No one did, she said that she jumped into the hole by her own will- The marquis answered very eager to get Blood angrier.
-You mean Nightmare didn´t open the way?- The march hare looked baffled, but probably all present were.
-That means that Wonderland itself wants her here- Grey said twisting a cigarette with his fingers.
-But why would wonderland want another foreigner if Alice is already here? –the dormouse squeaked meekly.
-Perhaps because Alice choose wrong- concluded the grinning knight.
.
Blood tensed and the hatters were about to start a fight (Oh? Black is VERY amused and exited, he must be hunting) anyway, tapping into my other´s sensation right now is way more interesting that this meeting.
.
-And what makes anyone think the new foreigner will choose wonderland in any case? – Everyone turned to look at the clock master- You know there is no guarantee that she will choose to stay, and she has avoided contact with anyone as much as she has been able to, why else would she had be lost for so many time changes?
-Oh. C´mon Julius! She´s also completely fascinated by wonderland, I´d say Wonderland has already captivated Scherzo.
-Who?- Asked Gowland.
-You mean Miss Rondo? – The mouse asked?
-What nonsense are you saying, she told us herself we refer to her as Discanto.
.
I decided it was a good moment to step in this conversation.
.
- Trust is the most basic bond and she doesn't even care about it, she obviously won't care about you either. What if she finds Wonderland interesting, she is probably interesting in trying to get away. Its clear that miss "Aria" doesn´t trust anyone here if she doesn´t even say her name, so far she has said "you can call me…", but never "my name is…" , she has given everyone a different "code" as she calls it.
.
-Not at all, all those codes are actually related.
.
For the first time in his existence the king of hearts found himself as the center of attention. Of course I already knew she used different names, but didn´t knew which others she had used.
.
-Speak already! What do you mean by that? –The queen ordered.
.
-I think the names she gave are either very significant or not so whatsoever, but given that all of them are related… -The king felt the annoyance of everyone – well… The first name she used was Aria, right?
-That is correct I was the first one she met.- ha,ha, everyone stiffened and looked angry and or troubled, how fun.
-She then used "Rondo" at the amusement park? – The king inquired.
- Yes- the cat confirmed, but his flattened ears and moving tail also confirmed his displeasure.
-After that she used Scherzo? – The king looked at the tower´s crew and they nodded – and finally she changed it to "Discanto" at the castle.
.
The king of hearts waited a second to see if we had caught what he meant, after a moment of silence he spoke again.
.
-An "aria" is a musical piece for one voice in an opera, a "rondo" refers to music that is fast and vivacious, a "scherzo" or "scherzi" is either a part of a symphony or a fast-moving humorous composition which may or may not be part of a larger work, while "discanto" is used for a voice that is above others on a musical piece.
.
Everyone deadpanned and before anyone said anything the queen made her voice be loud and clear on what she wanted and had planned.
.
-That doesn´t matter! We´ll refer to her as she prefers. The next ball room dance will be held shortly, and she shall be present no matter what name she decides to wear. The invitations will be sent to you soon.
-WHAT! ANOTHER BALL! That's not possible Vivaldi, the next event is mine! Besides, aren´t you tired from the last event!? – Gowland looks eager to host his event. But I doubt she is tired, since a while ago hosting events and using power has been easier for all roleholders. I wonder why?
-Non sense, we still require to host our event given that last time it was so rudely interrupted that it doesn´t count. –She got up to leave and was followed by the rest of the inhabitants of hearts.
.
-(Black is drinking? And is ….?)- I was done with it,they were surely going to continue discussing meaningless things, so I slipped into the shadows and simply leaved the meeting without they noticing and went back to the circus, I was very bored here but I was also very curious as to why I was getting drunk and having fun somewhere else, however that would have to wait till I ask myself, for now it´s best if I cut off our connection, I don´t want to taste alcohol if I´m not drinking it myself. Besides... there are new prisoners to meet ^_^
.
.
.
SOMEWHERE IN A BAR IN CLOVER (BLACK´S POV)
.
.
We entered a small and shady bar in clover, probably a tug´s gathering place, less crowded and that´s better for me. As soon as we entered the bar went quiet and looked at us, there weren't that many people and as soon as they saw me they returned to whatever they were doing, I knew the majority would scramble away as soon as they could, so we´ll probably have the place for us in just some minutes. She went to the most lonesome and private corner and seated down. I followed and we were immediately attended.
.
-So what will it be? I´d prefer a vodka or a tequila right now but anything you want is fine. – She was cracking her neck so hard I could hear it clearly (good she isn´t a sissy foreigner).
.
FLASHBACK:
.
Her attackers were on the floor, my after images would come for the two still alive and she had invite me a drink. Had she not been warned about me?
She then pickpocketed the fallen men. She raised their cash on her hand and put it away in her pocket with a happy and carefree expression. I can´t remember when was the last time I laughed like that.
.
END FLASHBACK
.
-Vodka- I merely said
-Bring a bottle and one of tequila and another of whisky- she added to the order for the waiter.
.
And the waiter went away fast.
.
She served a glass of vodka and gave it to me before she served herself, I didn´t know why but that small gesture felt nice, then she lightly clashed her glass with mine – Salud!
.
-What did you say?
-Salud? Oh, it's like a brindis/cheers or something from where I came from.
-(Im gonna take the chance to interrogate her, I´m surely gonna learn something to use against the other roleholders.)
-I´ve been needing a drink since I came into wonderland, so thank you for the chance jerkass.
-(Or maybe I´m just gonna have fun tonight) Your welcome, bitch.
.
.
WHITE´S POV
.
.
I felt my other self getting near, and my, what a sight I was, probably worse than last time. I took him to his room and threw him to his bed unceremoniously and went to the bathroom to get a trashcan he could use a bucket.
.
-Where is my hat? –he slurrishly asked before he started snoring lightly.
-Probably in the same place you left your earring, and your tie, and your jacket... – I´ll keep myself disconnected, no way am I going to feel the terrible hangover my counterpart is going to have .
.
.
.
AT CLOVER TOWER THE NEXT DAY
.
-Nightmare entered his office followed by Grey, a slight sound coming from the couch alerted them that someone was there, they got close and there was she, the new foreigner. She was sprawled on the couch completely asleep using a jacket as a blancket, covering her eyes and nose was the warden´s hat, from her ear dangled a golden double hop earring, the bottom of her braid was using a red man´s tie as a bow.
.
-Is she dreaming….? – Grey asked.
-No, and right now I´m very glad for that. Grey? – Nightmare was blank
-Yes?
-Don´t we have work to do? I think we should start, like, right now.
-Yes, we should.
.
Hi, I´m gonna revise the past chapters to make the reading more dynamic and the story a bit faster cause I think the rhythm is too slow, maybe even I´ll merge some chapters, so while I do that please tell me your ideas and if you think if I should turn this into a romance and with who? I know she still has to meet other characters she will.
Do you want to know what happened din their little drunken adventure ? And would you prefer her to keep one name in particular?
ANYWAYS, the more reviews I get the faster I´ll update.
