Peter White's PoV:

Terrible. Awful. Wrong.

The King had complete control of Alex, and the whole castle, the whole of Wonderland, was suffering. They had to watch their Savior train soldiers to kill, train himself to kill, to, to serve the King in any way necessary.

Alex followed every order the King gave him without question, and was cold to everyone and everything except the King. He was not Alex anymore. He was not even Pet anymore. I would not know what to call him. In the days Alex had been controlled, he had been ordered to do various things…one of which was to give me bodily pleasure. He gladly did this.

Though I could not stop my body from reacting to him, it made me feel terrible, disgusted me in a way, that Alex was not himself to the point his mouth graced my body without hesitation. It felt amazing, but it meant nothing, was all empty, because he was ordered to do it and it was not a choice.

I had to do something. The love of my life was being made to do horrendous things, things I know he would never condone in his right state of mind. Even though the decision would probably get me killed, I knew what I had to do.

I would find Julus Caterpillar…and this "Devin" who was the other Alice.

I would let them into the castle.

And I would help plan the murder of the King of Hearts.

Alex's PoV:

It had been three days since I had become the King's servant, pet, and loyal body guard. I also trained the soldiers, and presided over executions. Occasionally, I would get someone stupid enough to call me "savior" and beg my forgiveness. I had none, and whoever it was got immediately executed.

I had no emotions, save for with my King. I felt madly in love with him, and he "trained" me in sexual affairs every night. He had taught me many things, and now I was never punished because I did what I was told.

Only this morning, he had given me a white sleeveless leather jacket much like Rebekah's, and told me I was now Co-Capitan of the Heart Army, alongside Rebekah. I had also been training, and in only three days my skin had tanned some and my arms lost their skinniness, already leaning more towards muscularly slim.

I wore my white leather pants, but my boots had no platforms, as they were hard to train in. I also wore no shirt, because my King had said he would prefer it if the jewel was on display for all to see, therefore I also left the jacket open for it to be seen. I was happy to oblige, as I had no feelings of embarrassment with which to deal with.

Also, in my spare time and also without Master Antoine's knowledge, I had practiced some strange powers I noticed I had. The neon green aura that appeared, reflecting in my eyes most often, but sometimes physically forming around a body part, felt right and powerful.

It was interesting for me to note that, though I was extremely powerful, I could feel there was even more. It was like the rest of it was dammed up, and what I was accessing was only a small leak from it

As I walked down the hall heading towards the throne room, I noticed Peter White rush past me, his glance in my direction a bit nervous.

"Halt, White," I said coldly.

He stopped in his tracks, but did not turn to face me. "Yes, Sire?" he said shakily.

I smirked. "Come here and look at me," I ordered. He turned reluctantly and walked back to me, looking at me with his nervous red eyes. "Where are you going?" I asked.

He had that air around him that suggested he would have rather not been seen. "T-to run an errand for His Majesty, Sire. And to visit an old friend," he replied in the same shaky tone.

I saw a small drop of sweat trickle from his hair line, and his eyes twitched nervously to the left. Lying, was he?

"Reeeally?" I purred sensually, stepping forward until our bodies almost touched, tracing my fingers down his chest.

He gulped and nodded, his heart rate increasing under my fingertips, and inside, I sneered at his weakness for me. Pitiful creature. I pulled back. "Good then. Do not do anything stupid, hm, White?"

With then, I turned and began making my way back to the throne room.

Devin's PoV:

I woke up to a massive headache. Keeping my eyes closed, I sat up gingerly, but groaned as I realized that was a mistake when my head throbbed painfully. A slim, soft pair of hands pushed my shoulders back down.

"Lie still, Devin," the musical voice of March Hare said quietly, obviously knowing I would have a headache.

"March?" I asked, voice hoarse.

"Yes," he replied in that soothing voice.

"H…how long have I been out?" I asked in my scratchy tone.

"Three days," March said, and I felt a cold glass of water pressed to my lips as March's gentle hands held my head up a bit. I sipped the water, grateful for the relief to my obviously dry throat.

"Thanks. What happened?" I questioned, a little stronger voiced now. I opened my eyes to see the relieved and caring face of the Hare.

"I think Julus could easier explain that," he murmured, lowering hips lips to brush lightly against mine, his long hair trailing across my bare chest.

I stared up at him, dumbfounded, and he only smiled sweetly. "I'm glad you're okay, Devin," he said in his quiet tone.

"March, I—"

He cut me off by pressing his lips to mine once more, thrusting his tongue into my very surprised mouth. I couldn't exactly fight him, my body still hurt a bit and I was seriously weak. Though the kiss seemed…desperate almost. Like he felt like he had to do it, so I didn't put up much of a fight and slid my tongue into his mouth as well out of habit, one hand raising slowly to grab his soft hair.

March made a small sound of need in the back of his throat, somehow managing to slip onto the bed and on top of me without me noticing. On his hands and knees above me, March broke the kiss, hazel eyes connecting with mine and an animalistic desperation shining there.

"Please, Devin. Kagamine won't help me, so won't you?" he whispered in a lust hoarsened, desperate voice, one that didn't suit his soft, musical tone.

I stared up at him. "Why?" I countered quietly.

March bit his lip. "I-I…I can't explain it right now, it would take to long. I just need to. Please savior? I need you," he murmured shakily to me.

At hearing the title "savior" I froze and stared up at March. That was Alex's title wasn't it? But…March wasn't the type to do something like this without an explaination…so there must be some good reason.

So I nodded reluctantly, only to have something immediately shoved in my mouth. I swallowed convulsively, realizing quickly afterwards it must have been the candy by the taste left in my mouth. My blue eyes almost popped out of my head as the burn went through me.

"March! Th-the hell!" I shouted.

He gave me a sly smile, looking like a completely different person. "You wouldn't get hard for me by yourself, would you? You love your Alex," he stated as if it was obvious before ripping the covers off of me and kissing me once more.

Ches's PoV:

We all sat around the Hatter's humongous dining room table, and all of us seemed to be rather quiet. I couldn't help but start thinking about Devin again. Him and his eyes. No Alice before had ever been able to do what Devin did three days ago. Where had that power come from?

Then another thought hit me, and I stood up so fast I knocked down my chair. Julus and the Hatter looked at me, and I connected my amethyst eyes with Julus's knowing green.

"What is today?" I asked quickly. I thought I would be yelling, but the words came out as a whisper.

The Hatter raised an eyebrow. "It is—" he cut off then, eyes going wide in realization as well.

Julus sipped his tea calmly. "March 1st."

The Hatter cursed and stood as well. "Hearts! March! He will—"

Julus nodded, still calm, and stood slowly. "Kagamine…" he said in a relaxed tone. The Hatter turned his gold gaze to Julus. "Do leave them be. If you hadn't rejected March so much, this wouldn't be happening," the Caterpillar said with a smirk.

My eyes widened, and so did the Hatter's, before they turned a sickely yellow color and became angry. "Whachu talkin' bout, eh? March is MINE. Devin is mine. Ya have NO idear why I done the damn things I done," he growled, practically shouting the words.

I couldn't believe it. This was so different than the normal Kagamine. It had been years since I had seen his madness, and I had seen it before…but it was hard to believe they were the same person.

Julus regarded him with a steady stare. "Last time I checked, they each belonged to themselves, Hatter. They are free to do as they wish; I know everything about your dilemma with March. March doesn't like you playing with his feelings and Devin has already rejected you. Both are willing, leave them be," he said sternly.

I growled this time, and both looked at me. I knew my body must be fading in and out, because it did that when I was angry. I couldn't help it, and I wasn't going to let March force himself on Devin.

"I don't want Devin used that way," I hissed through clenched teeth.

Julus shrugged, giving me a cruel smirk. "Doesn't really fucking matter what you want, does it? You promised to protect him from harm, not sex. Face it, your little Alice has grown up, left you behind, and doesn't need you anymore."

My eyes glowed purple, and everything disappeared except my eyes and mouth, which was snarling, showing my teeth. Those words hurt more than normal, because they were probably true…and I felt Julus wasn't just talking about Devin…but himself.

A feeling I had never felt for him welled up in my chest, one I never thought I would ever feel from the Caterpillar boy. "Julus Caterpillar…I hate you. With every one of my nine lives and fiber of my being. I tried to apologize, and you hurt me in return. I try to look out for you, for Devin, and you reject on behalf of both of you. I LOVED you…and you refuse to acknowledge it. I. Hate. You."

The answering sad and resigned smile shocked me a bit. "Good. Maybe now you come close to feeling a fourth of what I felt for you the first month I was chained to that damned mushroom."

My anger and hate were doused like they had a bucket of water thrown on them, and I felt the old guilt claw its way back into my heart. Julus's expression suddenly melted to one I hadn't seen on his face since that day. One of kindness and caring, a soft expression.

"Ches," he murmured.

My heart jumped into my throat. Ches? Not Cheshire? My body solidified once more, and Julus took notice of this, stepping a little closer.

"I did love you Ches. There was no need to do what you did…had you not used the candy…if you had only asked instead of forced I…I might have accepted it willingly," he said quietly.

I felt as though a boulder crashed into my chest, and yet at the same time, it was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I bowed my head, form shaking as tears threatened to spill over. Julus had loved me…and I ruined it. But he had loved me.

"J-julus…Julus…" he murmured over and over, as if I was broken or something, but I couldn't get anything else out, or I might actually cry. I jumped when Julus set his hand on my shoulder. Julus was touching me. It had been so long since I felt his skin against mine.

I looked down at him through my misty eyes, and his emerald ones were warm. "Now that you maybe understand what I went though, just a little, maybe it isn't too late? You can touch me Ches. I give you permission," he muttered in a quiet, meaningful voice.

The Hatter smiled and discreetly left the room as I wrapped my arms around Julus immediately and clutched him too me as if I might die without him. I nuzzled into his soft black haired, breathing in his sent like a drowning man gasping for air.

"I'll make you fall for me again Julus. I swear it," I vowed quietly, some of the tears finally spilling over.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled back. "Silly Cat. I never fell out," he whispered.

Devin's PoV:

March lay on top of me, both of us breathing hard and very sated. The guy was surprisingly sexual and loud for such a quiet guy in daily life. Our breathing slowed down and I slowly pulled out of March, rolling the exhausted Hare over to lie beside me. Surprisingly enough, I hadn't done March had done almost all of it, because I still found it a bit difficult to move.

The Hate sighed contentedly and cuddled close, nuzzling one of my scars. He had apparently already seen them enough taking care of me over the last three days and therefore wasn't perturbed by them at all.

I stiffened. "Now, will you tell me why, March?" I asked quietly.

He gulped and closed his eyes, hiding his face in my shoulder. "T-today is March 1st," he said simply.

I opened my mouth to ask why the heck that mattered, when I suddenly had a flashback to Biology class. March 1st was the official beginning of mating season for most animals. Including a Hare.

"Why me? Why not Kagamine?"

He opened his mouth to answer, but Julus burst into the room. We both stared at him for a second, completely dumbfounded by his presence, before I covered up March's body from Julus's judging gaze protectively.

He only smiled. "No need, Devin. I think we all know that I know what happened, and I also know it was unavoidable. Come, we have a visitor. With news of Alex."

I immediately sat up straight and began climbing out of bed. March stood as well, and Julus left. As March stretched lithely, my gaze wouldn't be pulled away from his slim body. He noticed me looking and blushed a light pink, bending to pick up his clothes.

"You really are beautiful, March. Um…where are my clothes?" I asked.

The pink darkened to red and he pointed wordlessly to my folded clothes on top of a dresser. I smiled and dressed quickly, and when I turned around, March was already done and sitting on the bed, brushing his hair.

"Shall we go?" he said.

I nodded and we walked down the stairs, entering the living room and staring at who was seated at the table waiting for us. The White Rabbit. If we had never seen him, if he had never approached us, we wouldn't be here. Alex wouldn't be in danger.

I growled, an animalistic sound I didn't know I was capable of, feral and aggressive. All eyes turned to me, and Julus stood, walking over to me and setting a hand on my shoulder.

"Calm down, Devin. It's not his fault. Technically speaking, you are the one suggested you follow him. You and Alex are here because it was meant to be so," he whispered.

The Rabbit twitched nervously in his seat, then stood and cleared his throat. "Devin? You are he, yes? I remember you from on Top," he asked, red eyes hopeful.

I nodded stiffly. "Why are you here?"

He moved so he was standing in front of me, not even at eye level, and suddenly dropped to his knees. Everyone gasped, even Julus, and I stared. His eyes were pleading and desperate, and he clasped his in front of his face and begged, "Save him! Please! Please kill the King of Hearts! I will owe you everything! My allegiance, anything!"

Julus looked from the Rabbit to me. "You don't know how important this is, Devin. White's are the most regal acting of the Nobles, they never dirty themselves or swear allegiance to anyone. And White has OCD. This has to be hard, that floor is quiet dirty," he said in a quiet, awed voice, making White's rabbit ears twitch.

"Please," White only said once more, eyes never leaving my face.

I swallowed thickly and nodded. "I intended to do that anyway."

He got to his feet and shook his head violently. "No! You must hurry! No time, no time! The Tweedles! They were ordered to make some kind of charm, it is embedded in his chest, and he would do anything for the King. He has killed more people in the last few days than I can count!" His eyes went to Julus. "He has Caterpillar-like powers."

Julus's eyes hardened to look like the cold stone they mirrored, and I grabbed the Rabbit by his collar. "What? Killed people? Alex couldn't hurt a fly!" I growled, voice dripping venom.

His eyes filled with tears. "He could now. That is not all…His eyes…they are outlined in red, an evil looking red, and my Iriad has been given to him."

I pushed him away and Julus looked thoughtful. "Iriad? That was your watch, yes?" he asked.

White nodded and pulled out a different watch. "Yes. The King gave it to him. I have this new one, Emperia."

I wasn't really listening. Alex. My Alex. That's why he hadn't been to see me in our dreams even when I reached for him. I had to save him. Had to…

Julus snapped his fingers in front of my face snapping me out of the thoughts I had been immersed in, and I blinked. Julus's expression was analyzing, while everyone else's merely looked either scared or extremely curious.

"What?" I asked impetuously.

Julus's green gaze seemed concentrated on my face. "Your eyes were glowing blue again. What were you thinking about?" he said bluntly.

I jerked a bit in shock. "A-alex…" I answered hesitantly.

Julus looked even more thoughtful and tapped his chin. "Hmm…Alex you say? Seems he is the trigger for your powers. Interesting. Tell me, were you thinking about him before, in your match with March?"

I nodded, and Julus made some more thinking sounds. Ches came up and put an arm around Julus's shoulders. "What are you thinking, Juls?" he asked.

I raised an eyebrow. Juls? And Ches was touching him without getting punched? Julus smiled at him. Smiled.

"I was just thinking that maybe its time Devin and I had our rematch. I would like to see how his power fairs against a Caterpillar's."

Whoa. Powers? Against Julus? And he called him Ches? "Okay, whoa now. What happened while I was out? You guys okay?" I asked, totally lost.

Julus and Ches both grinned at me. "More than okay," the teen said, pulling Ches's head down and planting a deep kiss on the Cat.

Everyone stared and Ches only pulled Julus closer, and the younger allowed it arms wrapping around the taller's neck. The Hatter cleared his throat, and the two broke apart reluctantly.

"Shall we begin then?" he said with a grin.
