A/N: Hey Guys. Omgggg this is long….. ENJOY MY PRECIOUS
Chapter 25: Unexpected Wonder Time Period Two:
No Ones POV:
Alice yawned, stretching her arms above her. She yawned again, closing her eyes and finding it a tad bit hard to open them again. She looked around, and spotted a small bench, long enough to let Alice lay down. She looked around, and glanced at the sky, its noon sky shining. She yawned again, and shrugged. She walked over to the bench, laying down, placing her hands under her head. "Just… for a bit…" And Alice fell asleep.
~~~Dream Realm~~~
Alice looked around, the gray mist surrounding her. She looked around, and sighed, "Nightmare?" "Alice." She heard behind her. She spun around, meeting steel eyes. "Hi." Alice said.
Nightmare floated above her, studying her. Alice squirmed, and Nightmare said, "Are you really planning to leave? Because of Dupre?" He asked suddenly. Alice looked at her hands, and then up to him. "I… I'm going to check the territories and see…" She faltered for a minute. "And see if I actually want to stay, or if before was just…" She blushed and Nightmare coughed up blood.
Alice looked at him and said, "Have you been going to the hosp-" "NOOoooOO!" Nightmare yelled, coughing up more blood. Alice laughed and Nightmare glanced at her, flashing a quick smile.
~~~Not Dream Realm~~~
"Hey brother?" "Yea brother?" "Do you wanna-" "Is that big sis?" "Yea!" The twins looked at each other, and walked over to Alice, quickly changing into adult form* and carrying Alice. "The boss…" Dee shrugged, and at the same time, Dee and Dum said, "Oh well."
The two gatekeepers quickly ran over to the Hatter Mansion, slipping past the gates they were supposed to be watching.
~~~Back to Alice's Sleep Thing~~~
Alice looked around. Nightmare disappeared, and Alice looked around frantically. Everything was black… Alice started to run in a random direction, totally confused. She kept running, everything a blur around her. "Alice." She heard a deep voice say, and she vaguely remembered it was Blood's voice. "BLOOD!" She screamed, and ran in the direction she heard him say her name.
Her footsteps became more frantic. Her breathe turned short and choppy, and her hair became a mess behind her as she ran. Her teal eyes widened and she came to a sudden halt. Tears filled her eyes, and she opened her mouth to say something, anything when…
"BLOOD!" Alice screamed, shooting upwards. Alice glanced around, completely confused. She slowly stood up, pushing aside the blankets that kept the chill away. Quickly, she walked over and grabbed her apron, and tied it back on, careful to not tie it too hard because of her wound.
She looked around, and her face paled a tad bit. She walked over to the wall, and placed a hand on the familiar Hatter design. "Alice!?" She heard a voice behind her, and she spun around. Blood stood there, his jet black hair sticking in different directions, his clothes somewhat rumpled and twisted. Alice blushes, her attention focusing on his button-up shirt, where the first few buttons were... Unbuttoned, giving Alice a glance at Bloods bare chest. "Alice?" Blood said slowly, walking towards her. Alice quickly backed away, backing near a corner.
Blood walked closer to her, cornering her more into the corner. Alice looked around desperately, feeling like a trapped animal. Her teal eyes were wide, her checks being coated in a bright blush.
Alice stepped back, her back brushing the wall, her heels touching the wall. Alice blushed when Blood took a step closer. Blood leaned towards her, placing his right hand near her waist, his left settling near her head.
"Alice, you can't keep avoiding me." He said. "I can try." Alice snapped back, a blushing becoming more permanent over her features. Blood flinched, a brief glimpse of pain passing over his features. "Look, Alice, what happened at the Heart Castle w-" "I don't want to hear it." Alice said, looking down. Her heart was beating painfully against her chest.
Blood took a step forward, the tips of their shoes touching. With his left hand, he grabbed a stray lock of hair, moving it out of her face. Alice looked up, stunned, her teal eyes wide, mingled with confusion and longing. Blood flashed a quick smile, and before Alice could say anything, leaned down, his hard lips gently pressed against her soft lips. Alice's eyes widened even more, the feeling of his familiar lips on her, kissing her sweetly, causing her toes to curl, had her eyelids fluttering, before slowly closing shut like Blood's.
Alice gave in. Wrapping her arms around his neck. Blood gently wrapped his arms around her waist, crushing her small form against him. After a minute or two of them kissing, Blood pulled away, and just stood there, hugging Alice tightly.
Alice cautiously moved to wrap her arms around him, but stopped. She pushed him, and walking over calmly to the bed she asked, "Before anything I want you to explain…." She let the sentence trail off, her eyes having a faraway look in her eyes.
Blood walked over, and sat next to her, picking up her hand and slipping her ring back on. "Alice I was upset. You just kissed me," He said with a smirk, "And suddenly Wilfred comes in and proposes to you." Bloods face turned into a scowl. "And then when I was going to kill Wilfred, you, my fiancée,steps in front of him and then I shot…" He touched her wound, Alice flinching slightly.
"Your my equilibrium.** Alice, I need you." Blood said. He covered half his face with his hand, a blush becoming permanent on his face. Alice looked up at him, eyes filled with tears.
"Alice I love you." Blood said. "I need you. As silly as it sounds, you make my clock tick faster. You make my mind crazy when you're not around me. I think about you when you're not here, and when you are, I just want to hold you. I'm yours, and your mine." He looked at her, and held her hand, and placing it on his clock. "I want to be with you for the rest of your life. I can't remember what I was like before I met you. We've had our ups and downs. But we've always made it through."
"You're the Outsider, something un-replaceable. If something were to happen…" Blood looked saddened by the thought. Your un-replaceable to me. Nothing can replace what I feel for you." He looked at her, his hold on her never fading. "Alice, I love you. Forgive me. I love you so much. Please, please, be my wife again. I can't imagine a role without you. I need you by my side. You make my clock race. You're my kryptonite. You keep making me weak, frozen and can't breathe.** I need you Alice."
Alice was frozen, her eyes wide. Tears started to fall, and she quickly covered her eyes, sobs becoming apparent. "Alice?" Blood asked. Alice looked at him, still wiping her tears, and gave him a weak smile. Blood pulled her in his lap, cradling her. He stroked her hair, while she buried her head in the crook of his shoulder.
"And I'll be by your side wherever you fall, In the dead of night whenever you call, And please don't fight these hands that are holding you, My hands are holding you, Here at my side wherever you fall, In the dead of night whenever you call, And please don't fight these hands that are holding you, My hands are holding you. 'Cause I, I love you/ I want you to know; That I, yeah I'll love you. I'll never let you go, no, no.**" Blood sang to her.
Alice shyly looked up, and before thinking about it twice, hugged him, pressing her lips on his.
"Blood…." Alice said. "Yes?" he replied hopefully. She smiled, her tears all dried up. "I forgive you if you forgive me… I should've told you before." Alice looked down, blushing hard again. "I just wanted to know… to know if you… if you actually lik…. If you actually loved me…" Alice blushed, looking down at her feet. Blood smiled, and kissed her. "Stupid. I love you."
~~~Blood's Tea Party~~~
Alice glared at the Twins, who stuffed their face with chocolate cake. Elliot watched, silently waiting for the Twins to notice while he nibbled on some carrot cupcakes. Dee looked up, and nudged Dum, both of them slowly looking at Alice. Blood chuckled, sipping his tea, his eyes glued on Alice.
"Big Sis?" They both asked. Alice's eyes narrowed, looking mad while she blushed. "WHY DID YOU KIDNAP ME!?" Alice yelled, grabbing a brownie. The Twins smiled and Dee said, "You looked lonely." "I WAS SLEEPING." They looked at Blood who smiled and said, "Thank you for doing your job." "WHAT?" Alice screamed, looking at Blood. "Alice, you didn't know?" Elliot said, his eyes widening. Alice looked around, everyone smiling at her. "WHAT?!" she yelled blushing.
"I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO VIVALDIS CASTLE!" Alice yelled, blushing. Chuckling, Blood said, "But aren't you happy to be here?" Alice blushed harder, and ate a brownie. Laughing Blood held Alice's hand and said, "We're getting married again." Elliot and the Twins burst out smiling. Congrats were heard all over, and Alice blushed, smiling at the smiling Hatter.
'I think I'm going to be staying here… But I still wanna visit Heart Castle…'
