I looked over to Marshall. He was just sitting there, staring at the sky. Marshall was one of the people in the world where I could never tell what is going on through their heads. I stared at him blankly, waiting to see if he would notice. After about five minutes, he still wouldn't notice me. I lifted my hand and started to poke his cheek. I was going to poke him for the tenth time, but he caught me by the wrist. "Stop. Poking. Me." He said in a serious tone. I giggled and said, "Oh come on. This is quality time we aren't going to get back." I saw him roll his eyes and smirk. "Your just one hell of an idiot," he said. The words he just said stayed in my head. He looked at me and asked, "What's wrong?"
I snapped out of my daydream and looked back at him. "Nothing," I muttered and turned back to the stars. Marshall kept looking at me, as if he was trying to read me; what I was thinking. I didn't really pay any mind to it. I was to busy thinking about Ace and Lupe. Were they okay? Did they miss me as much as I miss them? They must've been taking this hard. Ace's wife, and Lupe's mom left, I felt a pang of guilt. Yet, I had to come back, it was important. They don't know yet, I don't even know if I should tell them… Marshall, as if he had sensed my guilt and discomfort (which he can do), put his hand on my shoulder lightly and nodded. I sighed heavily. I don't know how, but Marshall knows me better then anyone else in the world…like…EVER. He seems to read my mind, or actions in general. He has been able to do it since we were kids. How? I have no damn clue. But, it's nice, because I can always talk to him when I need to.
~~~~~~Back at the Country of Hearts~~~~~~
The loud shouts and gunshots could be heard from a large meeting hall in the Tower of Clover. Large windows lined the walls with clovers on the tops. At the ends of the hall, there was a large set of double doors. Within the room, was a single, long table that stretched to each end, leaving about seven feet of space between the ends of the table and the doors, Chairs lined each side of the table, for any role-holder, or card. Nightmare sat at one end of the table, role-holders on each side of the table, and Gray to the right side of his chair. So, back to the shouting and gunshots. The role-holders were currently arguing about what to do since Alice has left. Ace, Nightmare, Gray, Julius, Pierce, and White Joker seemed to be the only ones who weren't shouting or violently shooting the person to either side. Pierce was ducking in his chair to avoid any dirty glares from the Mafia, or Boris. Mostly Boris. Nightmare, Gray, and Julius were beginning to have a headache from all the bickering and whining of everyone. Ace looked like he was going to murder every single last person in the damn room, and White was simply sitting back and enjoying the show. Once Ace finally had enough, he slammed his large hands on the table, instantly gathering looks, and silence when he screamed, "WILL YOU ALL SHUT THE HELL UP!" The room fell silent, not a single breath or voice could be heard. A tiny whimper came from Peirce who was cowering even lower in his seat, tears welling up in his eyes from Ace who now was the center of attention. Ace didn't lift his head as he got up from his seat, fists still balled up tightly on the table, with anger and rage. "Sitting here arguing like two-year-olds won't get us anywhere, any stupid person could see that as well," he said. His voice laced with sadness and anger, the desperation to have Alice back was killing him from the inside out. He needed to know that she was safe, and safe meant, here, with him. Away from everyone who could possibly hurt or even kill her. Not to mention his daughter, Aileen, who was with her as well. "I suppose there is a reason to why you called us here, correct Nightmare?"
Alice and Marshall had sat on the edge of the railing for quite a while, just sitting there, looking at the beautiful night sky. It felt so long since they had done this together. The last time was before Peter dragged her off to the Country of Hearts. It was kinda like their thing, something they always had done ever since they were younger.
Flash Back:
A four-year-old Alice was running around in a flower field, not far behind, a eight-year-old Marshall walked, careful not to lose sight of the young blonde. It was close to sunset, and Marshall had promised to take Alice out in the field with him, where he normally went to relax, and just…breathe. It was very calm. A slight breeze carried the sent of fresh flowers, a smell of which Alice loved. About ten minutes of watching Alice frolic in the beautiful flower field, the sun began to set. The stars came out; they sparkled and shined so bright out in the meadow field. Marshall grabbed Alice's hand, and led her to a field, where he sat and stretched out his legs so Alice could lay her head on them. After a few minutes of peaceful silence and gazing at the sky, Alice's soft voice rang in Marshall's ears.
"Promise me we will always do this? It will be like our thing," She looked at Marshall.
"Of course, if that is what you want to do, I will as well." She smiled brightly and held
up her pinkie. "Promise?" He wrapped his longer pinkie with hers, "Promise."
