Chapter 20: Wonderful Mistakes
No Ones POV:
Alice stared at Blood, and he stared back, glancing at Peter; who was still in her arms in his bunny form. Bloods eyes hardened and he smirked at Alice. "I see the young miss is enjoy the company of ANOTHER man- or in this case rabbit." He said smugly. Alice glared at Blood, refusing to respond. She remembered how Vivaldi had once told her that Blood only aggravates her when he was jealous- but this was a little absurd. Vivaldi walked out the throne room, a smile lighting her face when she saw Alice.
"Alice!" The Queen said, and threw herself to hug Alice. Not knowing what to do- and certainly not willing to anger the Queen- Alice dropped Peter, and returned the hug. "Alice!~~" Peter whined, quickly changing forms so now instead of a cute, incredibly adorable white rabbit sitting on the floor, a white haired man with rabbit ears, a checkered jacket, with glasses sat on the floor, rubbing his back. Alice started to laugh, causing Bloods hardened eyes to soften a bit- enough so that Peter could find out.
Vivaldi glared at her Prime Minister. "Well? Escort the Hatter outside the Castle! We have much to discus with Alice." Vivaldi said, ushering Blood and Peter away. Alice glanced at Blood while Vivaldi grabbed her hand. Alice stared longingly at Blood, who was glaring at Peter as he stood up. Blood felt the gaze of someone on him, and he glanced up, smiling lightly when he saw Alice's stare. Alice blushed, and followed Vivaldi.
"What?" Vivaldi said, holding a cute brown teddy bear in her hands. "Explain! We are very..." Vivaldi looked at Alice and frowned. "We are very confused." Alice sighed.
"I remember everything." Alice told her, looking down at the stuffed tiger she had in her lap. "But... Our Brother told us you told him you did not remember..." "I lied." Alice admitted, clutching the animal in her hands and brought her knees to her chest. "What?" Vivaldi exclaimed.
"Well..." Alice said an explained what she had explained to Blood. Vivaldi watched Alice's expressions changed to a horrible sorrow. "Why didn't Blood... Just you know? Why didn't he say he loved me? He always jokes around. And after the accident he never... He never trie to help me remember." Alice started to cry softly. "What if it's jut a game to him?" Alice hugged the stuffed animal closer to her. "He probably doesn't love me..." Alice started to sob louder, and Vivaldi got up and hugged Alice, stroking her hair in a motherly way.
"Alice..." Vivaldi said. Alice looked up through her tears. Vivaldi looked down at Alice. "Why do you think Blood was here?" Vivaldi asked patiently with a knowing smile. Alice shrugged.
"To talk to you I guess." Alice wiped her eyes. Vivaldi smiled patiently. "No. He was here because he thought that maybe I could make you remember hi-"
"Alice!" A voice yelled followed by footsteps. A sudden light came from under the door and the sound of scampering paws. "DAMN BASTARD!" "IDIOTS!" Two voices yelled, and the sound of bullets being fired echoed in the hall. The shouts of maids and servants could be heard too.
Vivaldi immediately stood up and brought Alice behind her. Alice stood petrified. "V-Viv-Vivald- Vivaldi..." Alice said with a shaking voice. Vivaldi sat down and looked around. She pulled a rug off the floor and a trap door was revealed. (A/N: 0.o) Vivaldi pointed to the door, and gently pushed Alice in. Before Alice could protest; more sounds of gunfire came, this time closer, clearer.
Alice felt her heart beat faster. Were any of the other territories attacking? Alice heard a dog bark. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Vivaldi screamed. "We-" "NO! FOOLS! GET OUT OF OUR PRESENSE BEFORE WE PERSONALLY BEHEAD YOU AND HANG YOUR MISERABLE EXCUSE OF A HEAD ABOVE A FIREPLACE!" Vivaldi screamed, her red eyes flashing with real fury.
"My Que-" "NO!' She shouted. "What about those two?" Alice figured out Peter was talking. Vivaldi sighed, crossing her arms in front of her chest, giving Peter a mad look. "Fine." The door closed as Peter walked out.
"Where's Alice?" said a familiar voice. Alice looked up, looking through the cracks on the trap door. She saw Vivaldi glance down on the trap door and quickly gave a sly smile. "Well, if it isn't Wilfred and Blood Dupre." Alice wanted to shout, but then Vivaldi said something that stopped her.
"Why was Wilfred looking for Alice? And Dupre, why were you shooting at Wilfred?" "..." Silence consumed both men, as Wilfred's stormy eyes clashed with Blood's forest green eyes. "Well? We are waiting and trust us, we have more important things to do then take care of bickering children." Vivaldi said, placing a hand on her hip and glaring at both men.
"My Queen, I was simply looking for Alice. Me and her," Wilfred glared at Blood, "Me and her have important things to talk about that I would MUCH rather wait until I can talk to her about." Wilfred looked at the Queen and bowed, "I am terribly sorry, my Queen, I never meant to bother you in this process, it's so obvious that you, OF COURSE, have more important things to do." Wilfred stood and smiled at Vivaldi. She simply rose and eyebrow and sighed.
"Dupre what is your excuse?" Blood glared at Wilfred. "I have now excuse other then the fact that I want to shot him." "..." Vivaldi looked exasperated at Blood. "Why?"
"Because it wasn't a secret that Alice was MY future wife, yet this... This poor excuse of a role-holder lied to her, making up fantasies that she's his! She's mine!" He shouted the last words, glaring at Wilfred and turned his head to his sister. Vivaldi's eyes softened. "We see..." They waited patiently for we response.
"Both of you. Leave." Vivaldi turned her back to them, an suddenly turned around. "Dupre. Stay. We wish to have a word to you about... Your actions."
The door closed, as what Alice presumed as Wilfred leaving. Alice reached up to open the trap door, and was meet by sunlight. She closed her eyes, and slowly opened them, to see a smiling Blood. She blushed and he said, "Does the young Alice need help getting out of there?" Alice blushed but said, "Y-yes." Blood motioned for Alice to move over, and when Alice did, Blood jumped in.
Alice blushed at the sudden closeness. She heard a door close and a silent 'click' but she brushed it aside. Blood grabbed Alice by the waist. "Wha-what are you doing?" Alice shrieked. Blood smirked, "You were the one who said you wanted out." Blood brought Alice closer to him, until he was breathing in her scent. He picked Alice up until she was sitting on the ledge of the trapdoor, and Alice quickly stood up, reaching down to give Blood a hand. She yanked a bit too hard, causing him to stumble. Blood closed his eyes, waiting for impact, and he slowly opened them. He smiled at the sight he saw.
Alice was underneath him, eyes squeezed shut, fists above her chest, hair spread wildly around her, with a blushing face. Blood automatically started to lean down, and stopped. "I can't…. DAMNIT!" he shouted as he pushed himself from Alice. She sat up and looked around, only to see a mad Hatter pacing around, mumbling under his breath. "Where's Vivaldi?" She asked, slowly getting up. Not even noticing that Blood had become pale, she rushed to the door, slamming her frail body against it, frantically trying to open the door.
Blood slowly walked over to Alice and tried to open the door when she had given him a frantic glance. "VIVALDI!" they both shouted, and were meet by silence. Alice slowly sat down, leaning against the door. She looked up at Blood, with wide, frightened, teal eyes. Blood sat down next to her, and Alice fought the urge to lean against him. She sighed as she gave in, cautiously leaning her head against Blood's shoulder. It was too much of a fight resisting him, when all she did was long to be with him.
"She locked us in here didn't she?" Alice asked quietly. Blood nodded, trying not to show his sudden explosion of happiness when Alice leaned against him. "Yes."
