AN: This is the longest chapter in the story.

Chapter 4
The Fourth Alice

Morino komichi wo tadottari
Barano kino sitade ocha-kai
Oshiro karano shoutai-jyou wa
Haato no turamupu.

Yon-banme Arisu wa futago no ko
Koukishin kara fushigino kuni
Ironna tobirawo kuguri nukete
Tsui sakki yatte kita bakari.

Kino tsuyoi ane to kashikoi ototo
Ichi-ban Arisu ni chika-katta kedo
Futarino yume wa samenai mama
Fushigi no kuuni wo samayotta.

Meanwhile, there was two children who followed the path of red
Had a tea party under the rose tree
An invitation from the castle for them was
The card of Hearts.

The fourth Alice was child twins
From curiosity, to the Wonderland
Passing through various doors
Just arrived not long ago.

Stubborn big sister and wise little brother
Although they were closest to Alice
The two never woke from the dream
Wandered the Wonderland.

Fraternal twin brothers were wandering the Wonderland. The oldest had brown spiky hair, slightly tanned skin, and blue eyes. The younger had blond spiky hair, pale skin, and the same blue eyes as his brother.

Tough big brother was named Sora and wise little brother was named Roxas.

They found a card with a yellow heart on it. Sora picked it up and when he did, a the same yellow heart appeared on his hand. They also found three doors: a red one, a blue one, and a green one.

They went through the red one first. In there, they followed the red forest path. Eventually, they saw many black thorns. When they took a closer look they saw Link trapped by his thorny prison. Dry blood covered his neck and wrists. The blood-stained sword was still in his left hand. When he saw the twins, he clutched the sword tightly and smiled at them.

"Tasukete kudasai (Please, help me)." he pleaded.

The twins looked at each other.

"What should we do, Sora?" asked Roxas.

"I dunno." answered the older twin.

"Onegai-desu! Tasukete! (Please! Help me!)" begged Link as he struggled against the thorns, causing his old wounds to reopen. "You two are the only ones who have found me. So surely you cab set me free." he continued in a meek voice.

Suddenly, a dark look appeared on Roxas' visage. His blue eyes became icy.

"I have an idea that will help you." he said to Link.

Link's expression lightened. "Honto ni (Really)?!"

Roxas smirked as he nodded his head.

He snatched the sword out of Link's hand and slashed him across the chest. With Link's life, the black thorns disappeared. Link's body laid faced down on the ground and his left hand was stretched out in front of him.

"You're such a kind person, Roxas." said Sora, his eyes now yellow. "You put him out of his misery."

"Yeah, I know." said Roxas. "Hey, listen, can we go somewhere else? I'm sick of this place."

"Alright. Let's get out of here."

The twins left Link's world and entered the blue door. The first thing they saw was a lone rose tree with such beautiful roses.

"Ooh! How pretty!" exclaimed Sora as he ran towards it.

Roxas dragged Link's bloody sword behind him as he joined Sora.

"Hey, Sora, let's rest here for awhile and have some tea." said Roxas.

"Okay."

Sora had a basket with him and inside were two porcelain tea cups and a metal thermos filled with jasmine tea. He poured some into each cup. The twins sat underneath the rose tree and just talked and laughed.

When they finished their little tea party, the twins left the world and passed through a green door. They were amazed to see a large castle in front of them. Seeing that there were no guards, the brothers entered the building.

Roxas continued to drag Link's sword behind him. As the boys walked in the hallways, Roxas stopped in front of a mirror and looked at his hands. He didn't have a heart on his hand like Sora's did… so he would make his own. He took some of Link's blood from the sword and drew a red heart on his hand. He smiled at his work of art.

Suddenly, he heard sobbing from a nearby room. He entered through the double door and saw Hinata on her knees with her hands covering her clothed face. Her sobs racked at her body. She looked up at Roxas.

"Come no closer. I'm hideous!" she said.

Roxas walked towards her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, your Highness," he said gently, "You'll regain your beauty again soon."

He thrust the sword through Hinata's chest and quickly withdrew it.

"Now you can be beautiful in the afterlife." said Roxas.

He went back to the door and looked at the corpse. Hinata laid in a puddle of her own blood.

Roxas smirked and put a finger over his lips. "Shh."

He closed the door and saw Sora walking towards him.

"Where were you, Roxas?! I've been looking everywhere for you!" he said angrily.

"Gomenasai, Sora (I'm sorry, Sora). I was just looking for the queen." said Roxas.

"Oh! Did you find her?" asked Sora, his anger disappearing.

"I did and she told me we could stay here as long as we want. She said she was so lonely, but now she's happy that we're here. That's why she sent us that card." lied Roxas.

"Awesome!" exclaimed Sora.

During this entire time, the dream had been watching them. But it wasn't cackling like it usually did. Instead, it watched over them as they slept.

"They're perfect." said the dream. "They will be the ones who will stay here forever. They will keep me from disappearing."

So the dream took their souls as they slept so that they could wander the Wonderland forever. The twins would never wake from their slumber.

They were the Fourth Alice who would always walk the red forest path; who would always have tea parties under the rose tree; who would always live in the enormous castle; who would always wander the Wonderland.

Sora and Roxas were the Alice of Hearts.

AN: This is the only time I'm gonna make Roxas the younger twin. Like most people, I imagine them as twin brothers. I prefer Roxas to being the older one since he's more serious and Sora's more carefree. Yes, Roxas will be the older one in AU. Read Alternative Unviverse or Roxas will come and kill you in your sleep. Lock your doors if he does come! 0_0
