Alice was feeling and acting gloomy lately ever since Blood had attacked them again despite all the guards and the advanced security system. It made Julius feel sad to see Alice sad and then decided to make a sacrifice and take her to the amusement park. Maybe seeing her friends Boris and Gowland would cheer her up.
Alice perked up immediately and after breakfast Julius and Alice headed towards the amusement park with some guards and Ace in tow.
Alice was skipping and whistling and smiled at Julius whenever he looked at her. His heart warmed. They reached the amusement park. Almost immediately Boris came out to greet them.
"Alice, babe, how you doing?"Boris asked gleefully as he wrapped his arms around Alice and licked the inside of her ear.
Her face reddened. "B-Boris stop that!"she gasped.
Boris grinned and spun away. "Oh yeah, I forgot. You and the clockmaker are a thing now."
Boris smirked at Julius, "Better watch her closely, clockmaker. Anyone could just steal her away the way you stole her from the hatter!"
Julius glared. "I did not steal her."
"Suuuure,"Boris mocked. Then he smiled brightly and grabbed Alice's wrist and said, "come on, Alice! You have to check out the new ride we just got!"
"Waaah!"gasped Alice as Boris pulled her after him as he ran into the crowd and disappeared.
"Wha-wait!"exclaimed Julius trying to run after them.
Ace stopped him. "Come on, Julius. Let Alice have fun."
"But I need to watch her. The hatter could come back."
"She's in good hands. The cat loves her. He will never let her go to harm. Unless.. are you jealous?"Ace grinned at Julius wickedly.
"What?! What a preposterous thing to suggest! I have no reason to be jealous of the Cheshire Cat!"
"Really now?"smirked Ace and he began walking away. "Catch you later, Julius."
"What? You're leaving too?"Julius sighed. Maybe going to the amusement park had been a bad idea after all. Well he had to find Alice first before anything else. And he was not jealous.
"Eeeeeek!"screamed Alice as the roller coaster she was riding with Boris gave a sudden drop.
"Yeaaaaaaaaaah!"screamed Boris with pure joy and adrenaline at the speed that was making Alice sorely regret her decision to ride the roller coaster with Boris.
When the ride was over Boris turned to her with a wide smile. "That was fun, wasn't it?"
"Y-yeah,"Alice said shakily.
"Wanna ride again?"
"N-no!"
Boris pouted. "Aww boo! Why not?"
"I want to find Julius. I feel bad about just leaving him behind."
Boris glared at her. "You can find Julius later. Come on, Alice. I never see you anymore!"
"Okay, one more ride but then we go find Julius,"Alice said.
Boris immediately brightened. "Yay! Come on, Alice let's go ride the tunnel of love. They added some new features to it."
"Um, I don't know, Boris,"Alice said awkwardly.
"Boo! Come on Alice! Don't be a downer!"
Alice sighed. "But Julius might get the wrong idea."
"He should trust you, Alice. Come on, it's only one ride. Who can it hurt?"Boris flashed Alice a devious smile.
She smiled with exasperation. "Alright, but only once. And don't get any ideas."
"Alice, what do you mean ideas? We're just friends and you're dating Julius. Damn, I didn't know you thought so low of me."
"Oh,"Alice felt embarrassed. "Sorry."
"It's cool,"Boris smiled at her. "Come on, let's go!"
He grabbed Alice's hand again and began pulling her after him.
They got on the cart for the tunnel of love.
"Ready Alice?"asked Boris happily.
"Of course,"Alice said and Boris gestured at the ride operator to press the start button.
The ride began and as they started into the tunnel Alice began to wonder if maybe she made a mistake by agreeing to go this ride with Boris. Everything was so romantic and the music was so suggestive.
But she would just have to bear through it until the ride finished. It couldn't be so bad.
"hey Alice?"
"Yes?"
"You know you're really pretty."
"Thank you, Boris."
"You're the prettiest girl ever."
"Thanks."
"Really."
"Yeah."
"Alice, the clockmaker doesn't deserve you. Neither did the hatter. You can do much better than them."
Alice glared at him, starting to regret going on this ride with him. "Really?"
"Yes."
Then Boris grabbed Alice's chin and stared deep into her confused eyes with his own golden ones.
"Like me, Alice,"he said and then tilted his head forward, trying to kiss her. "I deserve you."
But he didn't get to because suddenly someone pulled Boris back and tossed him into the track just as the cart went into the next section on the tunnel, the doors closing behind the cart.
Oh no, thought Alice with a rising dread as she turned to look at who the assailant was. Her insides became covered in ice. It was blood Dupre.
"Hello, young lady,"he said, flashing her a arrogant grin.
"Blood,"she gritted out through her teeth. "What are you doing here?"
He smirked. "Just enjoying the ride."
She glared. "Were you following me?"
"Of course I was,Alice. I don't know if the Cheshire Cat told you this or not, but this ride lasts three hours. I couldn't turn down the opportunity of spending that much time with you."
"Three hours?"yelled Alice. Had Boris known this when he got her to go on the ride? She groaned. Of course he had.
Blood smirked. "Yes, three hours."
"I hate you!"
Bloods eyebrows rose in surprise. "Hate me? Oh that hurts, sweetheart. I thought you would be pleased that I saved you from Boris's kiss."
"He's not the one stalking me!"
Blood smiled. " A little gratitude could go a long way, you know. And stalking and following someone are two very different things." He stared at Alice and she stared back. He continued, " I'm surprised that you even agreed to go on this ride with Boris when you're supposedly in love with Julius. It makes me get my hopes up." He smiled suggestively.
Alice glared furiously. "Geez, blood, stop flirting with me! Stop following me! Can you just accept we're over and move on? Julius is a much better man than you ever were!"
Blood scoffed. "You are delusional. I don't see how you can think such a thing."
"Well I do! Julius is sweet and kind and thoughtful. The complete opposite of you."
It hurt blood to hear Alice say such stuff. But as always he turned his pain into anger. "Oh really,"he drawled, " I thought you always liked how rough I was with you." He smiled deviously and scooted closer to her.
Despite herself Alice blushed. "Don't get so close to me!"she stuttered.
The ride had gone into the next section of the tunnel which was dreamy and erotic, redness everywhere and soft, sexy music playing. It was definitely setting the mood.
Blood smiled. How appropriate.
"Alice, "he drawled as he pulled her closer to him. Alice didn't fight him. She just stared at him with weak eyes.
"S-stop,"she murmured. Blood only smirked. She was breathing heavily and her cheeks were a flushed red.
"Such a tease,"he drawled as he began kissing her neck. "But I love you anyway."
Alice didn't fight him. She just squeezed her eyes shut. Blood always made her this way. He was so sexy and erotic. When they had been dating he always knew how to blow her mind.
I can't, she thought. I can't. But Blood's touch was making her forget everything. The sexy atmosphere wasn't helping either. Why not just go with the flow?Her mind asked her. Cuz, she thought and couldn't find a suitable answer.
Blood brought his lips to Alice's and she weakly pushed at him.
"Julius,"she murmered and then she straightened with a jolt. Julius! No way was she going to cheat on him.
"Let go of me!"Alice yelled and began pushing at blood, breaking away from the kiss.
"Stop fighting,"blood growled back. "You were kissing me a moment ago. Don't be a tease, sweetheart."
"I'm not being a tease!"
Blood ignored her and began kissing her again, holding her head so she couldn't move. She began crying.
"Whoa, what's going on here?"
Blood and Alice both broke apart to see Ace falling from the ceiling and landing on the bench between them.
"Don't leave me out if you're gonna cheat on Julius, Alice," Ace grinned.
"Ace!"screamed Alice with relief as blood glared stormily. When Alice threw her arms around ace in delight she was shocked when she felt ace's lips land on hers.
Meanwhile...
Julius rushed around, looking frantically for Alice. Where was she? It had been nearly an hour and she was nowhere to be found.
He sighed unhappily. He wouldn't leave until he found her. She was his love.
Chapter five! So ace saved Alice again from blood! But then he kissed her himself. Nope, Julius ain't gonna like it. Stay tuned for the next chapter and thnx so much for reading.
