Disclaimer: I don't own Pandora Hearts.

Jack had decided they should split up. So Gilbert and Oz went to look for Alice, while Jack went to take care of the king of hearts. So here they where. Running though the halls of this big castle. Looking for the room where Alice might be.

"You think she is okay?" Gilbert asked. Oz looked at him.

"I'm sure she is, shes a strong girl." Oz said, smiling. Gilbert could never understand how Oz could smile in a time like this. He was always so happy. That's what he loved about his best friend. He had always loved Oz. More then a friend. But he knew Oz would never like him the same.

"Lets try calling her name." Gilbert said.

"Alice! Alice! Alice!" Oz said, looking around.

"Alice!" Gilbert said.

"Gilbert! Oz!" Alice yelled, beating on the door. The boys ran over to the last door in the hall. Gilbert tried to open the door but found it was locked.

"Hold on, Alice." Gilbert said, ramming himself into the door. He ran into it again. This time in fell though and Gilbert hit the floor face first.

"Gilbert!" Alice said, pulling him off the floor, into a hug.

"Alice..." Gilbert said. Oz though them both to the floor, hugging them.

"Oz!" Alice said. It felt like a long awaited reunion.

"Come on guys, we have to find Jack and leave." Gilbert said, getting up, pulling both Oz and Alice with him. Both nodded there head in agreement. The three of them left the room and headed for the kings room. When they went in no one was there.

"Where's Jack?" Oz asked, looking around. Gilbert looked at both him and Alice.

"I don't know..." Gilbert said. He lead the three of them into the ball room. When they got in there Gilbert stopped out of nowhere.

"Whats wrong?" Oz asked. Gilbert turned around with a smirk on his face. Then they heard clapping behind them. Alice and Oz turned around. Jack walked in.

"Hello, Oz, Alice, Gilbert." Jack said, smiling a sly smile.

"Jack, whats going on here?" Oz asked, he was starting to get a bad feeling. He couldn't understand why Jack and Gilbert were acting strange.

"Nothing dear Oz." Jack said, walking trowed Oz.

"Don't tell me..." Oz said. Gilbert started laughing.

"Oh, so now you know." Gilbert said, walking over to Jack.

"Your the king of hearts?" Oz asked, not wanting to believe it.

"There is no king of hearts, I just made that up to get Gilbert to want revenge, then I kidnapped Alice in order to get you here to this place." Jack said, smiling. Gilbert knocked Oz out. He then throw Alice to the ground, and tied her up.

"Why would you do this?!" Alice asked. Gilbert picked Oz up, handing him to Jack.

"Because, Oz is young and trusted, plus he has a power he doesn't even know how to use." Jack said, holding Oz in his arms.

"So you want to take over the world?!" Alice said.

"Not just the world, but Oz's body." Jack said.

"No! Don't you dare hurt my brother!" Alice said. Jack smirked.

"Don't worry he won't be hurt." Jack said.

"Then why do you need me here?!" Alice asked, trying to get free of her restraints.

"Because in order for this to work we need a sacrifice." Jack said, petting Oz's head.

"No way..." Alice said, her eyes where wide.

"Grab her, Gilbert, then we'll take care of Oz." Jack said. Gilbert nodded his head. He grabbed Alice up.

"Come on, Gilbert! Fight against Jack! What has gotten into you?!" Alice said.

"Oz isn't the only one with a power." Jack said. Alice looked at him with wide eyes.

"You put him under a spell..."Alice said. Jack cupped her chin in his hand.

"So smart." Jack said. He walked over to the center of the room. He laid Oz on the floor. Gilbert dragged Alice over to Jack. Jack grabbed her, holding her. She saw Gilbert take out a dagger. "Don't worry, Alice, you're not going to die. Just become one of those chains." Jack cooed. Gilbert stabbed Alice with the dagger.

"Gilbert, I always...loved...you..." Alice said. If those where her last words she would die happily. She just had to tell Gilbert how she felt. She fell limp in Jack's arms. He put some of her blood in a glass. Jack cut his hand, squeezing his blood into the glass. At this moment Oz started to wake up. He seen Alice laying on the floor.

"Alice!" Oz said, trying to get up. He seen Gilbert was holding him down.

"What are you doing, Gil?" Oz asked.

"Sorry Oz, but I don't take orders from you anymore." Gilbert said, smirking at Oz.

"What did Jack do to you?" Oz asked.

"I placed a spell on him." Jack said, walking over to Oz.

"When?" Oz asked. Jack smirked.

"I've always been obsessed with you Gilbert. But you where to blind to see." Jack said, walking trowed Gilbert. Vincent got in front of Gilbert.

"Vincent, why do you always get in my way?" Jack said, stabbing Vincent with a sword.

"No! Vincent!" Gilbert screamed, as he watched Vincent hit the ground. Jack smiled, shoving Gilbert to the ground. He placed his hand on his head.

"Sweet dream, Gilbert." Jack said. Gilbert felt sleepy. He fell into Jack's arms. Jack kissed Gilbert's lips.

"You're all mine." Jack said.

"How could you do that to Gilbert?!" Oz asked.

"I just did." Jack said. He grabbed Oz by the hair, pulling him up. "Now you will be come one with me." Jack said, poring into his mouth, then into Oz's. Oz tried to spit it out but Gilbert made him drink it. Oz swallowed it.

"What was that?" Oz asked. It had tasted really nasty and bitter.

"A mix that will allow me to take over your body." Jack said, placing his hand on his head. Oz started screaming. It hurt. Everything hurt. Gilbert sat there holding Oz. Hushing and cooing his cry's. After what seem like forever Oz stopped crying. Oz stood up.

"Master?" Gilbert said. Oz turned to him, smirking.

"Yes, little Gilbert." Oz said, putting his fingers under his chin. He pulled Gilbert close to him. "Kiss me." Oz said.

"Yes, master." Gilbert said, placing his lips against Oz's.

"Forever, mine." Oz said.
