Suddenly someone presses a handkerchief over my mouth and my vision goes blurry...

I regain conciousness, and open my eyes taking a glimpse of my surroundings. It seems as if I'm in some sort of human birdcage. I hold my head in my hands still a little dizzy. I squint my eyes to get a better view at the man who approaches me. "Hello, how are you?" Says a artificially cheerful voice. Even with faulty vision, I can tell this guy's wearing really gaudy makeup. I look him in the eye trying to give him my best death stare. But it doesn't work because I can't see him so clearly and keep having squinting my eyes. I don't know why but this guy gives me the creaps. He chuckles as he leaves. A few minutes later my vision is back to normal and my friends wake up and the curtains start rising. We're revealed to a massive crowd of masked people and I notice the the same man from before, although now I think he's actually managed to pull off a look like that. He looks like the mad hatter of Alice in wonderland, but that's crazy right? I snap back into reality and didn't realise my friends arguing, I give my attention to what's going on and realise we're being auctioned. The bids goes up to 30 million, and stops. The curtains fall and we're dragged of stage. Two masked men come and collect us, they take us to a penthouse. They offer us a seat and I decline the offer. They remove their masks and introduce themselves

After the introductions out of the way we're asked to choose one of the guys to be our buyer and I wait until my friends have chosen someone so I don't have too. They make me their penthouse maid and that's how it all begins...

One year later...

Dear diary, I finally found you in one of my boxes, I've had a crazy year, sorry for not updating you. I got sold on this auction and became a maid for these cruel, vulgar, evil people. But my crazy friends had it rougher than me, that is until they fell in love with their bosses. Bleck, I know sick. But they broke up soon after thier relations started so yeah, anything that makes them happy I guess. So I'm still stuck as a maid and I'm not treated any better. So yeah...I'll try to update you more, but no promises! :-)

I clean the penthouse top to bottom, luckily we're not in dubai anymore, cleaning there aweful, especially with the heat. It's kind off nice to be back in my home country, although I would love to visit my parents, I haven't seen them for 5 years since I went on that world tour and moved to America. But it seems like, given the circumstances that won't happen, not while these guys are watching me 24x7. I sigh and put away the vacuum, and have a shower. "Aah, that's more like it." I say collasping on my bed. I lie down for a while, until I hear a knock on my door. I wait in my room, too lazy get up. The knocking gets louderband more aggressive and I open the door. Eisuke's standing there an angry look on his face. "Why didn't you answer first time?"

"Umm.. I just got out of the shower." I say, slightly trembling. "I-I promise it won't happen again." I stutter.

"Yeah, it better not." He says glancing at me head to toe. He shoves a dress into my hands and leaves. "Put this on and meet me downstairs in five minutes."

What, fi- better get ready, I slip on the dress and it fits like a glove and I put on the shoes he gave with it. I do some light makeup and dry my hair at the same time. I tie my hair in a high ponytail, and wrap my hair around the bobble to give it a more natural look. Hmph, I guess I'm dressed, I say looking at myself in the mirror. I head to the lounge and see Eisuke flipping through a magazine sitting on the couch, he glances up at me and we leave. He takes me to the auction where I see the other guys. They talk for a bit and I just sit there dying of boredom. Suddenly I feel their gazes fall onto me and I meet there eyes, full of confidence. Yeah, that's right, I'm not afraid of you.

"Are you sure she's the right person for this job?" Asks Soryu, looking at me with disgust.

"She'll get the job done." Says Eisuke approvingly.

"What! Why should I?" I argue. He sends me a death glare and I shut up immediately.

"You will because if you do a good job of it, I'll think about your release." He says.

"Fine! I'll do..it." I say.

"Besides you can tell us if the mad hatter is really a hottie under all that make-up." says Baba flashing a devilish smile.

"What? How does the mad hatter ha-"

"Lets go." Says Eisuke dragging me behind him.

They take me to the back stage to a dressing room lounge. I see the mad hatter chilling on the couch on his phone. "Soo... what are we doing here." I say breaking the silence.

"Here's your assistant." Says Eisuke shoving me towards him.

"What! No, I'm not being this crazy psycho's assistant." I argue.

"Alice," He says getting up and holding my hand.

"What! No my name is Skyler!" I protest. But the auction managers leave me with him. Seriously? Ugh, you assholes! I say in my head so no one else heard it but me.

"Alice, could you pass me the water?" He says smiling.

"I'm not Alice, how many times do I have to tell you?" I say tossing him a bottle of mineral water from the shelf.

"Thanks, so let's talk business." He says his expression growing serious. He takes a step closer and backs me up against the wall. I can feel his warm breath on my shoulder and my cheeks turn a crimson colour. "Your my new assistant, and your called Alice." He looks at me, a scary smile plays at his lips as if challenging me to argue with him. "Understand?"

"Y-yeah." I says tearing my gaze away from him. But he forcefully lifts my chin to meet his eyes.

"Don't worry. I won't kill you...yet! I have a use for you. And since you cute, maybe more than one." He whispers in my ear. "I'm telling you this clearly now so there's no room for mistakes, but if you get in my way, or try to double cross me with the auction managers you won't live to see another day. I'm changing up and don't bother trying to run away, you won't get very far. Do you really want to test my patience right now." He says casually stroking my cheek. I mean is this guy for real, he's even scarier than the auction managers. He releases me and goes into the dressing room leaving me all alone. I feel like running away but then I remember what he said. My cheeks still burn from where he touched me. I wait at the door and a guy with auburn hair and and brown eyes comes out of the dressing room. He smiles at me and pets my head. Well Baba was right, he certainly was a hottie.

"Good, you didn't run away. Come on Alice, I bet your tired after chasing the white rabbit all day." He says holding my wrist. His words are sharp, but his touch is so gentle. I feel like I've seen this guy before, but I can't put my finger on it. I follow him to the car and after a long game of follow the leader we eventually reach a basement apartment. I suddenly realise where I've seen this guy.

"You...Your that guy, I saw you in dubai, you were working there." I say after a long time of silence.

"What, it took you this long to figure out, wow you're a lot dumber than I thought." He scoffs. "You'd think they would at least send someone with a brain, if they're gonna spy on me." His tone mocking me, as he stares at his phone.

"So, umm... what should I call you?" I ask trying to ignore his remark.

"Anything you want."

"How about asshole?" I say annoying him. He looks up and glares at me. "Oh wait, more like psycho asshole."

"I was thinking Maddy." He says in his cheery artificial tone.

"Maddy?"

"Yeah, considering your Alice and I'm the mad hatter." He replies.

"Fine, whatever." I say giving up, this guy is impossible to annoy. "So where am I sleeping?" I ask. He looks up and I follow his gaze to a door. "Thanks... Umm, what about my clothes."

"Ugh, you're so demanding Alice!" He says getting up and leading me to a wardrobe. He pulls out a box with female clothes. Why does this guy have women's clothes in his wardrobe, not like I care, just curious. He hands a sweat shirt and sweat pants. They fit me perfectly, I realise after having a shower, how did he just guess my size? I go to bed and after some time he enter's the room and pulls out a blanket and sleeps on the floor.

"Your sleeping on the floor!" I say sitting up in bed.

"Why, you want to do it with me so badly." He says smirking at me. "I'm flattered, but I don't hit on girls I just met."

"What! Hell no. I just ..." I drift off and realise there's no point in continuing. I lie down again. "Thanks,"

"For what,"

"For letting me sleep on the bed. What else?"

"Hmm..." he says. I keep tossing and turning, for some strange reason I can't sleep. I take a peek at him and he's out. I get out of bed and grab some water from the kitchen. I return to the room and see him, I end up watching him sleeping. He has such a cute face, he looks so innocent, he almost looks vulnerable. I get into bed once again and fall asleep easily.

By the way in this story I've made Hikaru the mad hatter, just because I've always thought it would be cooler if he was so enjoy and please review!
