Peter's POV

I walked beside Alice, leading her towards the waiting room.

Her elegant face glowed when; the light had gently caressed her figure.

I shift my gaze towards Alice.

God she was beautiful in this light, it made her shimmer and shine like a goddess.

Alice, Alice, Alice...Why must you taunt me with your sexy figure and angelic features. Will you, ever stop your rain of seduction towards me...

I thought to himself, switching my gaze towards the hall.

I was so concentrated on Alice and the hall way, that I didn't notice Alice leave my side.

I was smiling like an idiot till, I got outside.

"Well, Alice what do we do now?" I asked, looking around for Alice.

"Alice?" I walked around the garden.

"Alice!" I yelled out, circling a fountain, which was in the middle of the maze.

I quickened by pace, now scurrying in the rims of the fountain, trying to see if I could spot the top of Alice's head.

"Ali-"

Splash!

I was so, confused on where did Alice go, that I lost my balance and fell into the fountain.

I gasped for air when, I surfaced out of the water. Love…Why, must it be so damn difficult! I thought to myself.

Alice walked through the halls following a path of sunshine, leading her towards something or someone.

She kept on walking, mesmerized by the light.

She got to the end of the path.

The light shinning out of a room, similar to the Hatter's office but, this room had a mysterious feeling to it.

Alice walked inside the room and looked around, she then open the map and it lead right to the room where Alice was standing in.

"Find your pen and paper, write down the code for X marks the spot. Follow your way down the stairs and you'll find the sea creature that sprays water from its spout." Alice read out loud.

She hurried over towards the desk and started to look through drawers and under the desk till, she saw something engraved into the desk, like the table in the Hatter's garden.

"1-12-15-3."Alice said.

She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down the numbers and stuffed it into her pocket.

"Hey, Alice, are you there? Did you find anything inside the castle? Alice, pick up." Boris's voice was hushed when; he spoke out of the talkie.

"Yeah, I have. I'll meet you outside of the rose maze, okay Boris." Alice talked, into the talkie in a hushed tone as well.

"Alright, I'll see you outside." Boris answered, hanging up on Alice.

Alice sighed and turned around, spotting something red pass by.

Alice walked over towards the door and peeked around the corner.

The thing in red had turned around the corner, of the hallway. Alice ran to the end of the corner and the red thing had already turned the corner again and Alice ran for after it, curious of what the red thing could be.

The light gleaming from the windows were shinning on a figure in red.

Alice stared at the figure and then walked slowly towards it, not afraid but, even more curious then, before.

The figure looked around and scratched its head, the light was way too bright for Alice to see its face.

The figure was wearing a red long coat, had brown hair and was carrying a sword on its side.

Alice was meters away from the figure, hiding in the shadows, still wonder who it was, till she recognized the sword that it was carrying.

"Ace?" Alice asked, curious but, afraid that it might actually be him.

The figure froze for a minute and slowly turned around."Come out of the shadows." Ace said, coldly, staring at the dark figure in the shadows, not knowing it was Alice.

Alice slowly stepped out of the darkness. Light from the window shined and gently caressed her figure and features.

"Alice…"

"Ace…"

The two figures looked at each other, light shining on both of them.

The two kept on staring at each other, only using eye contact in exchange for words.

They stood there for awhile..

Not a single words was said..

Not a single move was made..

Not a single sound was heard..

Silence was the most deadly thing that sent chills up Alice's spine and made Ace a bit uneasy and nervous all at the same time.

Ace couldn't take the silence and awkwardness that surrounded him and an angel.

He walked forward towards Alice, and slowly reached out and caressed her cheek.

"Alice…"Ace trailed off, with a gentle smile, taking a strand of her hair and putting it up to his lips, still looking at her sea green pools of limitless pure and gentle orbs that would mesmerize anyone who would dare make contact with her.

Alice looked away, breaking eye contact with Ace.

"What do you want, Ace." Alice asked; coldly still avoiding eye contact with Ace.

"What I want…"Ace trailed off.

"Yes, what do you want!" Alice snapped, looking up at Ace for a moment then, looking away.

"What I want…

Is Alice...

To love me…"

Alice froze.

Ace lifted her chin up, so that she would look at him.

"Ace I-"Alice gasped.

Ace had literally swept Alice off her feet and carried her bridal style.

He carried her to a random room that was closest to where the two were standing.

Ace gently put her down and pinned Alice onto the wall.

"A-Ace…"Alice stuttered, now blushing from Ace's words.

Ace pushed his body closer, and closer and closer towards Alice's, till there was no more space between them and their breaths mingled together.

Alice's heart started to pound against her chest, she could hear her heart racing and her face burning red.

Ace smirked, leaning on the wall with one arm, as for the arm was holding Alice's chin, making sure she was giving him full eye contact.

They were both breathing heavily, Alice nervous on where Ace was taking this and Ace wanting to keep Alice with him as long as he can.

Ace leaned in, just inches away from Alice's lip.

"Ace, I think we sh-"Alice was cut off by, Ace's sudden kiss.

Alice was shocked, and her face was an even brighter color red then, ever.

Ace slipped his tongue into Alice's mouth and her eyes widened.

Ace broke the kiss for, Alice to catch her breath.

She gasped as Ace moved from her lips to her neck, planting kisses on her soft skin, nipping from time to time and licking her neck, as if he was the vampire and she was the prey.

Alice held onto Ace's shoulders, feeling his embrace was too much for her body to handle.

She could feel her blood lust wanting his blood.

Alice started to moan, the pain and pleasure was making her dizzy and letting her mind drift away from earth and into outer space.

His kiss and touch were making her shiver and shake, making her want more and more, not wanting Ace to stop.

Ace let go of Alice's hand and wrapped it around her thigh, lifting it off the ground.

Alice clung to him, as he bit down onto her neck.

Pleasure and pain surged there her body, her mind saying that she should stop him while she has the chance but, Alice's body would not listen to her command.

Ace moved back up to Alice's lips, sealing her moans of pain and pleasure.

Ace's arm that was leaning on the wall was now placed on her back, moving upward towards her neck then, caressing her cheek.

Once again, Ace's touch and kiss made Alice melt in his arms, just like in the tower.

Ace's hand that was placed on her thigh moved up, heading towards her underwear, as his kisses went down her neck and lower.

Alice suddenly snapped out of it, she was incomplete control again but, her mind had drifted off to a crazy place but, slowly returning.

Slap!

Crash!

"Learn Your Place!"

Boom!

Alice had slapped Ace on his left cheek, pushed him into a side tableand yelled, "Learn Your Place!" which echoed though out the castle then, kicked him into a wall, leaving cracks and a dent in the wall.

"Geez, Alice that hurt…" Ace said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Pervert." Alice said, dusting off her dress.

Bam!

"What in the world are you two doing!" Vivaldi commanded. Alice blushed and Ace froze.

"O-Oh, Vivaldi you saved me!" Alice said, starry-eyed. "EH!"Ace yelled out, in shock.

"Oh Alice, we are glad to see you here today and- White, what in God's name happen to you?" Vivaldi screamed, looking at Peter.

Alice and Ace hurried over towards the door, to see Peter wrapped in a towel, dripping wet.

"Oh I decided to take a dip, that's all your majesty." Peter smiled.

"Anyway, Alice we would like for you to have tea with us." Vivaldi said.

"Oh, Vivaldi I would love to but, I have to go. I'm sorry." Alice said, with a smile.

"It is fine but, may we ask what is in your pocket?" Vivaldi questioned.

"Oh it's a map that's all." Alice shrugged then, froze.

"I MEAN! It's a piece of paper." Alice said, taking back her words.

"May we, join your search, Alice?" Vivaldi said, leaning in, knowing Alice would not say "no".

"Well, Alice." Vivaldi slanted her words.

"F-f-fine." Alice stuttered, in defeat.

"We are glad, come now Alice, let's go outside. Isn't that where you are headed?" Vivaldi said, taking Alice's arm and leading her outside, towards the maze.

"Y-yes, it is." Alice said, tensing up a bit.

Outside, Vivaldi, Alice, Ace, and Peter were standing in the middle of the maze.

Alice was looking at the map, and said, "We need to find some kind of sea creature."

She looked at the fountain.

"Maybe we should try looking at the fountain, over on the east side.

The fountain has dolphins on the rim." Peter suggested, walking over towards Alice.

Ace, walked over towards Alice, and snatched the map right out of her hands.

"The map is leading left, not right, Sir. Peter." Ace said, pointing at a big dot on the map.

"It was only a suggestion, Knight." Peter retorted.

"Well, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, Rabbit."

"Boy's if you're going to start, take elsewhere, not here." Alice said, breaking Peter's and Ace's death stare that they were both giving off each other.

"Fine." Peter and Ace said, at the same time.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" The queen demanded, already heading towards the direction of the east fountain.

When they got to the eastside fountain, Ace grabbed Alice's hand and pulled her close to him and Peter did the same.

The two were squishing Alice between them and Alice was on the verge of kicking them into the fountain or out of Wonderland of the matter of fact.

"The sea creature is-""PERVERTS!"

Splash!

Vivaldi was cut off and was shocked by Alice's sudden yell and action of kicking Ace and Peter into the fountain.

Apparently, Peter's free hand had moved down and squeezed her butt and Ace's free hand had squeezed her chest.

The two surfaced from the fountain and whined, "Alice~!""Don't "Alice" me, you pervs!" Alice said, coldly.

Ace tried to get up but, stopped and went back underwater.

Peter got up from the fountain but, was pulled back in by Ace, who surfaced once again and yelled, "I found something!" Peter surfaced and pushed Ace into the water, trying to drown him.

Alice jumped into the water and tried to push Peter off of Ace.

She was then pulled under by Ace and she felt an outline of a whale at the bottom of the fountain.

They both surfaced from the water and said, "We found the sea creature!"
