As always I don't own HnKnA. I just own my stories plot. RxR!

Chapter 6: Cell Block Blues

3rd Person Point of View

The Queens dungeon was quiet, damp, and dark. It was like any storybook dungeon except this one looked like it came from Sugarland or something. The walls were pinks, reds, and lilacs. The air smelled of cotton candy and it was nauseating.

"Why can't the Queen have a NORMAL dungeon?" asked Dee to Elliot. Unfortunately each role holder was put into a cell with a partner, and Dee just had to be his. The March Hare turned to look at his cell neighbors to try escaping conversation with Dee. To his right was Julius and Vivaldi. No help there and to the was Ace and Dum having a peaceful conversation.

'Lucky Bastards!' he thought. If this was a practical joke, it wasn't funny. Across from his cell was Black Joker and Peter. Lord couldn't even figure out what they were doing.

"Shit", Elliot said. He really wasn't in the mood for anymore games. He was starting to think like Alice now, like this was all a dream. Maybe if he went to sleep he would wake up back at the mansion. 'Seams reasonable enough.'.

While Elliot was having this little conversation in his head we move our gaze to cell #1 where we find Gowland and Blood in separate corners. Their clones pass by arm in arm, conversing and laughing.

"Blood…"

"Hush, I'm trying to think."

"How many clones do you think the Queen made?"

"I don't know, why?"

"Follow my lead."

"No, why should I?"

"Just do it!". Gowland got up and motioned for Blood to do the same. Blood seemed pretty pissed knowing how he didn't come up with this plan. "Now act like we're best buds.". The terrible violinist linked arms with the Hatter and acted all jolly. Weirdest sight you'll EVER see. Giving up on trying to figure out Gowland's logic – he eyes the cat and mouse. An idea started forming. If Pierce would stop being chased around the cell, he could easily fit through the bars. But how to get him into his mouse form without getting attention. Blood understood Gowland's plan now but added a little bit to it. Blood whispered his addition to his 'partner in crime' and nodded. If they could get the prey and predator irritated enough they'd be able to go through the bars in their animal forms. Next Problem: How to do that?

Idea Time!

"Say Gowland, did you know that I heard a few of your employes say that Alice has a crush on Pierce?"

"No I didn't know that!?".The boys running around their cell stopped, and listened intently to the conversation.

"Hey snack, did you know about this?"

Pierce-normally irritated by his nickname-was to engrossed in the conversation to notice. "Not a clue, I actually thought she liked you."

Blood said, "Apparently she likes his-and I'm quoting here-cute animal form."

"I thought she had a thing for Boris?"

"Your employes said something about that too!…What was it again?". The two teens-now pressed against the cell door-wanted to know SO badly. "I think they said she took pity on him for being in love with her.?. I don't know, something like that."

That last part was enough to push Boris over the edge. "You're Dead Mouse You Hear Me!? DEAD!"

Pierce changed and so did Boris, into their animal forms. Pierce scurried through the bars followed by the pink cat. The two 'gentlemen' who made this aggression possible watched as the predator/prey…raced…down the hall. They raced down the hall! Great, not supposed to happen!

"We'll probably never see Pierce again."

"Yeah, probably." Blood watched as his plan brutally failed.
