Silver eyes glistened in the moonlight. Oh how long had he waited to walk this world once more. The moonlight complimented his long white hair. "Alice," voiced the man with a sadistic smile. That one name had caused so much pain for so many. One girl had destroyed his entire kingdom as though it was a simple game of dominoes. A girl that had earned his eternal hatred. No not only his, the man knew.

Zero sipped the tea now unbound and comfortably seated on the rundown couch inside the abandoned building. The tweedles were making dinner in the kitchen across while attempting to make good conversation with their guest. "So what school do you teach, Mr. Sensei?" asked Dum while she stirred dinner in a pot. Blue eyes watched her cautiously worrying about the girl's safety. It was not like her brother was able to call for help after all.
"I teach at a school called Shurigure Academy," answered Zero calmly. They really weren't as bad as he first expected. Earlier they had explained that his kidnapping was a mistake of mistaken identity that turned more confusing when they couldn't even figure out who they reminded him of. 'Maybe they are related to the other tweedles.' But that was impossible. He had seen the original twin's remains after the war. His blue eyes glazing with regret.

Tweedle Dee was running around in circles quite pleased with himself. His fiery orange hair shifting in the cool afternoon breeze. Zero had come that day to deliver a letter from the queen for a new noose from him. "Ah, hey there is there Faceful of faceless," greeted the twin stopping with a smile. The thirteen year old Zero nodded not even trying to understand the noble's words. "Have you seen my twin who ain't but is a mirror but not. I need him to see what isn't but is," said Dee excited. The faceless knew better but had to ask," What is it?" Bright green eyes looked into blue that was hidden behind the mask.
"AAhh, what a trouble you are but not. Breaking rules is a no and not. Haha, I'll tell you right now anywary of now. This here is a thing but not. A thing called a chain but no. I's calls it a slang not a chain. It's a chain but with a slang attached, see?" explained the twin only confusing little Zero more. The device looked like a sling shot but with a chain replacing the rubberband.
"Oh, no voice for the no face? The surprise must be overwhelming," mused the orangette quite pleased with himself. A laugh came from the faceless, making him jump in surprise, to reveal the other twin.
This twin had bright green hair with eyes matching his other half's. "You shouldn't speak to what's not there dear brother," said Dum with a smile. "It only hurts their feelings to feel apart of our world."
The young Zero stood there confused for a bit. "Why?" he asked without thinking at all. Both Dee and Dum looked at him in surprised before smiling. "Because, silly, it might change everything," they both replied in unison.
-end-
Blue eyes blinked bringing the raven back to reality. "Huh?" he questioned feeling something poke his arm. "We got a call from our friend," repeated Dum with a gently smile. "He said we do know you, isn't that wonderful?" Dum nodded from his spot next to the teacher, his eyes gleaming in excitement. "He also said he would be joining us for dinner as well," continued the blind twin clapping her hands in excitement.
Zero sighed wondering if he was ever going to get home tonight afer all.
