The darkest of hearts.

Chapter 4: A plan to take down the king.


Disclaimer: I don't own anything...if I did this would so happen on the show.

After Jack, Oz, and Gilbert got back to there room. They started to make plans.

"We should sneak into the castle." Jack said, holding up a map of the castle. Gilbert and Oz agreed that was the best plan of action.

"How are we going to do that, uncle Jack?" Oz asked, looking up from the map at Jack's face.

"I know a secret tunnel under the castle." Jack said. Gilbert looked surprised. Jack sure is a smart, hansom, man. Oz only wished he could be like Jack. He found it kinda strange that Jack look almost just like him. He had never really thought about it before.

"That's a good idea." Gilbert said, lighting a cigarette.

"Thank you, Gilbert." Jack said, smiling.

"So, when are we doing this?" Oz asked. He was eager to get his sister Alice back.

"I was think we could set out tonight. The kings castle will be on less security, 'cause the king of hearts is giving them a day off." Jack said. Gilbert walked over to him.

"Sounds good to me." Oz said, standing up.

"We'll go though this forest." Jack said, pointing to a part of the map with lots of trees.

"Okay, lets go." Gilbert said, walking off with Oz.

"Yes, lets." Jack said, following them. They cheeked out of the motel, and started there journey though the forest. They knew it would be a long walk.

Gilbert had to think on the way to the castle. He couldn't think of a reason why the king of hearts would want Oz's sister. He himself could only think because she was drop dead gorgeous. Thinking of this he wondered something.

'Why didn't Oz and Alice look alike if they are brother and sister?.' Gilbert wondered.

He was also thinking about Vincent. He wondered if he would die when they got to the king of hearts castle. Gilbert kinda wanted to die. Then he could see his little brother. Gilbert started to think back to the last time he seen Vincent.

Gilbert and Vincent were running though the yard of there home. Vincent was laughing so care freely like he always did. Gilbert was even laughing. After all, Vincent's laugh was contagious. They saw someone in the distance. For some reason this part of Gilbert's memory is hazy. He could never remember the mans face, or even what he looked like. But he knew it was the king of hearts. He knew 'cause that's what everyone told him did this awful crime. The man tried to kidnap both boys. But Vincent fought back. He started to run away when he realized Gilbert was still being held by this man. So even though Gilbert told Vincent to run. Vincent came back and tried his hardest to fight the man. But no matter how hard he tried this man was bigger, stronger, and faster, then little Vincent. The man stabbed Vincent. Vincent fell to the ground. No matter how much crying and screaming Gilbert did, Vincent wouldn't get up. The man shoved Gilbert to the ground. He put his hand on his head. The man then smiled a sly smile at him. He then put some sort of curse on him. Soon after Gilbert fell unconscious. When Gilbert woke he was in Oz's house with barely any memory's of what happen to him and Vincent. He also had a power. The power of the raven.

'A very dark power.' Gilbert thought to himself. He had recovered from his flash back. He saw they where almost to the king of hearts castle.

"Finally, I will get my sister back." Oz said.

"Finally, I can avenge my brother." Gilbert said.

"Finally, I can take down this evil monster." Jack said. They all where ready to take on the king.
