Chapter two

Bumby just finished his appointment with Charlie and he was one step closer to forgetting.

"Every child has a purpose: it is the beholden duty of knowing adults to fit every young person to her calling." Bumby let out as he stared at the door.

He had plans for all the children in the Houndstitched Home, however he had a special plan for Alice Liddell, who he recently took a liking to.

She would be an acceptable substitute for her sister. Elizabeth Liddell was a mature young woman with large green eyes like Alice, long dark hair and porcelain legs that stretched endlessly. Her breasts were luscious and full, her lips however were the best part of her. They were plump and always seemed to beg for him. She got what she deserved in the end, for all that teasing.

Alice was different, Bumby knew. She wouldn't tease him; she didn't have the sanity to tease. He would make her think he was going to save her. He would help her forget by filling her with only him, body and mind.

He would get what he wanted. Like always. Then when he was done… Well… the Mangled Mermaid would finally get a high-class whore who actually would know what she was doing.

Bumby was tired of waiting. Alice had been gone for quite some time, much longer then it would have taken; the high street chemist wasn't that far. Normally he wouldn't care, Alice could do whatever she wanted as long as she forgot, but now it was different. The though of her unblemished white thighs got Bumby rushing out of the door and onto the streets of London.

The air was cold and it bit at Bumby's exposed face. His glasses fogged up immediately as he set a quick pace towards the high street chemist. Children were dotted all over from his home but Bumby took no notice, he shouldn't be expected to be able to take care of everyone.

He had his hands full with a voluptuous woman whom was late for her appointment with the therapist.

Walking towards the high street, Bumby walked by the Mangled Mermaid. There was some sort of commotion going on in the building and Bumby noticed that the building had caught fire. The smell of burning wood caught his nose and he inhaled deeply. He was instantly reminded of his night with Lizzie and the fire after. She was a rough women but he was satisfied. Bumby stuck his hands in his pockets and clutched the key to her door. The cold key warmed up slowly in his clutch as thoughts of Lizzie awakened his earlier problem once more.

Bumby stood outside the Mangled Mermaid for some time as the police arrived and carried out the casualties. That wretched owner got pulled out first. She was bleeding and unconscious but was looked at straight away. Some ugly whores were carried out a little after; some were there because of his doing, and others he had never seen before.

After some time more casualties were carried out of the Mangled Mermaid. Bumby started to turn to make his way around town in search of his little pet however smooth white thighs caught his eye as an unconscious Alice was pulled out on a stretcher by some Police men. Bumby got angry quickly but to his relief her thighs were still unblemished and perfectly smooth for his soiling. Bumby walked over casually and let them know he was her guardian. After some checking they left the unconscious girl for her therapist to take care of.

Alice's face looked serene whilst she lay there unconscious, her eyed moving under her eyelids quickly hinting at her dreaming, probably of wonderland.

Bumby wrapped his arm around Alice's shoulder and pulled her into his arms. She was a lot lighter than he thought she would be as he started walking back to Houndstiched home.

Whilst walking back it started to snow, the white flakes landing on Alice's face and melting quickly. Before long they were back at the home as Alice was starting to awaken.

"Alice, it's only a dream" Bumby started chanting as Alice's face was retorting restlessly, his chant almost caring but not quite.

Eventually Alice's eyes fluttered open by the time Bumby was in front of the gate of the home, his arms wrapped around her tightly exposing her thighs to his hungry eyes.

"Doctor…?" Alice said slowly as she was trying to make sense of it all. She didn't remember much except for being at the Mangled Mermaid with Jack splatter threatening everyone. Suddenly Alice's head hurt as she remembered him hitting her. Alice let out a gasp of pain and her head started throbbing.

"Alice, are you alright?" Bumby said quickly as he let her down gently.

"Yes, slightly sore however" she retorted quickly rubbing her head.

Without warning Bumby pulled her hand away from her head and inspected the area in question, he then leaned forward and planted a kiss on her newly forming bump.

Alice sprang back in surprise but Bumby merely walked into the home without glancing back at the bewildered girl.

Inside it was nice and warm and Alice immediately wandered to her room closing the door behind her and letting out a huge sigh of relief. She didn't need to be bullied by the other children and Bumby was only her therapist. No she much rather preferred to be alone. Alice turned quickly and scanned her room, spotting a shape on her bed. Jack Splatter.

Bumby on the other hand strolled to his office and pretended to be busy with paper work. Alice was a lively girl. If he didn't break her before he took her then he wouldn't be able to have her for long before he either had to kill her or lobotomize her. Which with her reputation wouldn't be entirely difficult.

In Alice's room in was dead silence but Alice could swear her heartbeat was so loud you could hear it in the other room. Jack Splatter sat calmly on the bed his fur coat discarded behind him. He merely stared down at his hands, unmoving. Alice couldn't even think. He was fast, she wasn't sure if she would make it out the door. In wonderland she would be able to beat him however this was London, she didn't have the fighting power or even a weapon. Minutes went by and Alice didn't even notice she wasn't breathing. After some time Alice had to inhale from fear of passing out. Only moments went by and Alice was pinned to her door, one of Jack's hands covering her mouth the other pinning her hands.

"Little bitch, your not going to tell people I am the one who burnt down the Mangled Mermaid, now are you"

Alice was panicking. She couldn't fight him, she wasn't strong enough. All she could do was comply.

"Good" Jack said breathing into her ear.

His hot breath sent ripples of disgust down her spine as she struggled against his grip. This only provoked him and his hand slid down from her mouth and only her throat.

"You should thank me, otherwise you would have been working there in a couple of years" Jack breathed the words into her ears once more and her struggling ceased. His grip on her throat tightened, the look in his eyes pure disgust.

"Fucking bitch" Jack Splatter spat moving his hand away from Alice's throat and throwing her on the bed.

Alice flew with surprise her back hitting the wall hard and leaving a huge thud noise. Alice let out a screech of pain as her back hit the wall, but suddenly Jack Splatter was on top of her covering her mouth with his hand.

Bumby heard the screech Alice let out as well as the thud and was up and walking to her room. However once he opened her door, she was alone and once again unconscious on her bed. Her skirt hitched up exposing more then just her thighs but also plain white undergarments that begged to be taken off.

Bumby approached and Alice was starting to stir. Her eyes fell on Bumby as he continued to advance towards her bed. Before she awoke he had already closed and locked the door.

"Doctor?" Alice said slowly like earlier that day

"What happened Alice?" Bumby asked sitting at the end of her small bed.

"Jack Splatter…" was all Alice could muster before Bumby lost his temper.

"You will stay here!" Bumby yelled unlocking her door and locking it again from the outside.

Alice sat up on her bed stunned at a display of emotion from Bumby Alice had never before seen. She got up slowly and locked her window in case Jack came back.

Bumby was out of the door and tracking Jack down. He found him not to far from Houndstitched with a bloody lip, Alice had bit him.

"Fucking ass" Bumby yelled running to the man, hands in tight fists.

Not that he cared what happened to women however Jack almost soiled his innocent women before he could, and that wasn't an option.

Bumby punched Jack in the face out of the blue not giving him any time to react before kicking him down to the ground.

The police were already on their way before Bumby found Jack and narrowly stopped Bumby from killing this man who almost took his prey. As Alpha male, Bumby had to teach Mr. Splatter a lesson.

Bumby crouched down and pulled Jack up by his hair, hissing in his face and glaring him down. He no longer had just a bleeding lip but he was lucky to not have worse.

"Listen closely Mr. Splatter" Bumby hissed

"I know you burnt down the Mangled Mermaid and I know a lot more about you. If you don't want to die right now or have me tell anyone you stay away from my pet"

Jack didn't move his eyes showed no fear but Bumby knew he wasn't one who wanted to go to jail.

"You are never to go near Alice again. She is untouched as of now and I AM the one who is going to destroy her. Do you understand?" Bumby said in a harsh whisper as he heard the police approaching. However Jack Splatter did not reply.

"Do you understand?" Bumby repeated jerking his hair once more making Jack Splatter wince.

"Yes…" Jack replied slowly.

Bumby spit in his face and let go of his hair leaving Jack Splatter to fall back onto the ground. The police caught up quickly but didn't question Bumby, for he had a high status. They merely would look over the blood on his shirt because his reputation also preceded him with his dedication to his patients.

And indeed he was dedicated to his patients… especially one insane one that went by the name of Alice Liddell.
