Madness and a Killer, the best kind of couple.

Alice walked through the camp and along a path, her red spiked heels tapping on the pavement. A crown of rubies sat atop her folded head and she had a smirk plastered on her face. She was feeling regal, like she did when she sat on her red throne of wonderland. As she entered the Lake area she relaxed and sat on top of a table, kicking her heeled feet. Dispute having partially gloved hands she still felt as if people could see her arms, which she felt bad about. A queen should always wear gloves, as Mim had once taught her. At the though of Mim her hand went to the key around her neck and she began playing with her lip piercing from Hatter. She missed wonderland entirely too much now. She did not cry though. A queen never cries. A queen is as strong as her Queendom, and my wonderland is unstoppable. She spoke into the wind.

Grinning widely as he traipsed down the path to the lake, Alucard was in a fairly good mood. First, Baskerville had caught a deer, allowing for a fairly lavish (by his current standards) breakfast. Then, he had managed to get some training done at the Arena, knocking some Ares kids off their high-horses as he wielded his scythe. So now, in his good mood, he decided to go to the lake, despite his utter hatred of water. Grimacing as he tried to flex his left arm, Alucard quickly noticed that he still wasn't used to it's presence. As he was walking, he heard somewords about queens being carried by the wind, it's source be a soft voice that honestly made Alucard curious of the source. looking around for a moment, Aucard approached the girl, quickly noting her appearance as he said "Hello, my name is Alucard Tepes. And you are?" Alucard introduced, immediately introducing himself rather than making small-talk.

Alice jumped slightly and let out a shriek. Not very queen like but it scared her and brought her from her day dream of wonderland. When she saw the boy she had to set her jaw so it didn't drop. He was drop dead gorgeous and reminded him of how sexy Mim was in Wonderland. I am Alice Little, queen of the red court of Wonderland and sister to Queen Ivory. It is a pleasure to meet you Alucard.The British girl said, standing on her heels and giving a slight bow, making sure her crown did not fall off her head. A queen was nothing without her crown of rubies after all.

Grinning as he bowed at the waist, one arm behind his back settled at his waist as the other gently took her hand, bringing it to his lips as he placed a gentle, lingering kiss on the gloved hand, Alucard slowly drew his lips away, saying "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, your majesty." Slowly straightening his back, Alucard asked with a sly smirk, "What is a member of royalty doing out here?"

Alice felt her heart drum louder and louder. This was exactly like Mim. Wonderland needed a new queen at the front for a while so I was claimed and sent here. A shame really, I'm powerless and have no wings like my netherlings do.She frowned as she fixed her ruby crown. This man really knew how to make a queen feel at home, everyone else made her feel like an outsider and a loner.

Internally frowning slightly, Alucard quickly ran over her words in his mind, processing thousands of possibilities in his mind. While not particularly a man of science, Alucard did not exactly believe in magic. However, the existence of gods brought up a massive realm of possibilities. Settling on the one he liked most, the possibility that she was from another dimension, Alucard said "How interesting. Do you mind telling me about his... 'Wonderland' that a beauty such as yourself originates from?" Alucard asked, highly interested.

Alice, now overjoyed by her new companion, sat atop the table again and began explaining the blacklight landscape and her beautiful sister's glass palace. The magic that used to pulse through her veins was taken the moment she was brought out of the Rabbit Hole. From the talk of Herman Hattington's crazy tea parties to the feasts of beasts Mim used to host, Alice began feeling whole again. When she talked about herself though, things took a grim turn.I used to be horrible. My great aunt red took my body as a host and made me do terrible things as queen. When Mim managed to help me trick her into leaving me and we destroyed her I got to rule Wonderland like I wanted to. It's in chaos though now. Everyone dying and everyone fighting. Poor Chessie can't even smile anymore, and Herman won't make tea for me when I visit.A single diamond like tear roles out of Alice's eye and down her porcelene cheek. If only she was powerful enough to save her Wonderland. If only she could use more of her netherling side. If only.

Frowning slightly, Alucard gently reached out his right hand, gently wiping away her tear as he said "I am sorry for bringing up bad memories. If you would like, once you figure out a way back to Wonderland, I am willing to go with you to help you." As Alucard said this, he felt a sharp pain from both his lef shoulder, the point where the Stygian Iron arm and his flesh melded, and his right eye socket, which was covered by a black eyepatch decorated with a gold cross in the middle. Alucard ignoreed the pain, noticing a warm, sticky liquid flowing down his arm and cheek as he hurriedly wiped the blood off of his face, attempting to conceal it.

Alice smiled at his kindness then gasped as she saw the blood.Alucard, your bleeding!The petite girl explained as she used her gentle touch to wipe away the small drizzle of blood from his face.You do not deserve bleed, not whilst you have someone who wishes to care for you. She said softly as she pulled out a hankie and wet the cloth before wiping away the smeer on his cheek. He truely did remind her of Mim and for that she planned on treating him as Mim would have wanted to be treated.

Grimacing, Alucard said "Please don't get your handkerchief stained because of me, it would make me feel guilty." As he said this, he took off his eye-patch, rinsing it off before placing it back on his head, his hair dampening from the lake water on the eyepatch. He then rinsed off his face, clearing it of blood before saying "Thank-you Alice."

A hankie is meant to get soiled, and if soiled it is then soiled it beThe blonde girl said, as a childlike giggle escaped her mouth and she smiled at the tall man. Alice was only about 5'5" and Alucard seemed to be over 6' tall! Dispite the height though, she felt right being at the lake with him in the day. She had no siblings and yet she didn't feel she needed any. Alice's mind began to wander and she looked out over the lake water as it glistned and reflected off her bright eyes. The one thing that set her apart from her netherlings was her eyes and her childhood, none of them had a childhood after all.

Staring at the younger girl with a soft expression, Alucard solemnly realized that he was quickly developing a crush on her. Quickly burying the feelings, Alucard sat down, pulling out his I-pod and pressing play, listening as Sarcasm by Get Scared came on over the small machine, grinning slightly as one of his favorite songs began. SInging along with it in a soft voice, Alucard matches the notes perfectly.

"You've got me shaking from the way you're talking
My heart is breaking but there's no use crying
What a cyanide surprise you have left for my eyes
If I had common sense I'd cut myself or curl up and die

Sticks and stones could break my bones
But anything you say will only fuel my lungs

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts
If this is love I don't wanna be loved
You pollute the room with a filthy tongue
Watch me choke it down so I can throw it up.

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts
If this is love I don't wanna be hanging by the neck
Before an audience of death.

You could be the corpse and I could be the killer
If I could be the devil, you could be the sinner
You could be the drugs and I could be the dealer
Everything you say is like music to my ears."

With eyes now closed, Alice swayed to the song slightly as she sat. Alucard had a lovely voice and she liked being sung to, Mim used to sing her lulabys to get her to sleep after a nightmare. She hummed along, knowing the tune but not the words, and leaned back to lay on the table and let her hair make a pool of blonde around her head. It almost seemed like a Halo because of the sunlight that was cast on it. No words were said from the small girl but she didn't have to speak to love the moment. The song spoke of love and death, making her heart race. Two things she lived and feared, two things she couldn't live without.

Noting how beautiful Alice looked, Alucard continued where he left off. "You could be the corpse and I could be the killer
If I could be the devil, you could be the sinner
You could be the drugs and I could be the dealer
Everything you say is like music to my, music to my ears

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts
If this is love I don't wanna be loved
You pollute the room with a filthy tongue
Watch me choke it down so I can throw it up.

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts
If this is love I don't wanna be hanging by the neck
Before an audience of death
(Before an audience)

Failure find me
To tie me up now
'Cause I'm as bad, as bad as it gets
Failure find me
To hang me up now
By my neck cause I'm a fate worse than death

What a cyanide surprise you have left for my eyes
If I had common sense I'd cut myself or curl up and die

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts
If this is love I don't wanna be loved
You pollute the room with a filthy tongue
Watch me choke it down so I can throw it up

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts
If this is love I don't wanna be hanging by the neck
Before an audience

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts
If this is love I don't wanna be loved
You pollute the room with a filthy tongue
Watch me choke it down so I can

Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts
If this is love I don't wanna be hanging by the neck
Before an audience of death" Alucard finished with a slow tone, eye closed as he basked in the afterglow of the song.

Alice lay on the table and fully enjoyed having Alucard sing, she even stopped humming. As the song finished a smile played across her lips buy her eyes remained closed. She couldn't spoil the moment with words, not just yet. She just wanted to bath in the lyrics and find her happy medium between insanity and sanity. So all she did way lay there, smiling like chessie, and breath.

Slowly sitting up, Alucard opened his eye, tucking the Ipod into one of his many pockets as he glanced over at Alice, sprawled across the ground and grinning, said grin eerily similar to Alucard's own.

As the shufgle of clothing ensued Alice opened her eyes and sat atop the table once more.You have a lovely voice, Alucard. You would be well liked in Wonderland.She said as she adjusted her crown though it still sat at an odd angle she couldn't fix. The sun began to dip low in the sky and Alice perked up emensly, standing and running to the edge of the lake,.motioning for Alucard to follow her over.Come. The sun is about to bid its farewell and the moon with begin shinning above in the black lovely sky. The changing of the times, between night and day, was always something that made Alice feel at peace. Be it the feasts she shared during the day in her castle or the flying she did at night, there was something peaceful about watching the sun set and the moon rise.

Slowly breathing in a deep breath of air, enjoying the salty smell in the air, Alucard exhaled just as slowly, staring after ALice before walking after her, For some reason immensely enjoying spending time with her, even... dare he say it... more-so than he enjoys spending time with Sapphire. Watching the orange glow of the sun begin to slowly dip below the ocean, Alucard smiled, the light reflecting off of his light gray eyes and giving them an orange-red tinge.

Alice closed her eyes as a gentle final breeze of day started to give way to the night. When she looked at Alucard she couldn't help but beam at him.Your eyes, they look as though they're glowing from a fire within you that burns even brighter than that of the sun. She said with a smile. There was no doubt in her mind that she loved spending time with Alucard at the lake, or it could have been anywhere for that matter. He looked kingly yet humble, soft yet strong, kind yet angry. All the balances Alice wish she had but didn't, all in one man she seemed to be growing fond of.

Smiling softly, Alucard said "[color=maroon]Your hair seems to glow with the vibrance of the sun, yet with the hue of freshly fallen snow. It truly befits a noble woman full of strength, such as yourself." Alucard said, Gently grasping her hand and placing a gentle kiss upon it's back.

OOC: Sorry for the short posts :/

Alice giggled and thought of something clever.You missed. She said as he kissed the back of her gloved hand. There was no real reason for her wanting to be kissed other than childish curiosity. The Queen of Wonderland was curious to see if her mortal knight would be brave enough to take the risk or falter and bow out of a request such as this. Even though the girl was short her heels mad shed stand at a 5'7" height, two extra inches taller. But in reality, she was two inches closer to Alucard's height.

Ooc: its alright. I really just get into Alice.

His small smile quickly widening into a massive grin, Alucard began to slowly move up her arm, placing a kiss every inch or two until he reached her cheek, placing a kiss there as well before hovering over her lips. "Must I continue, milday?" Alucard slyly asked, smirking.

Alice felt herself shudder under each of Alucard's kisses. It was as though someone began lighting a spark inside her. The gentleman and the seductionist. He was the best of both worlds and seemed to care about Alice even though she was mad as the Hatter. When he asked her a question and his breath danced across her skin she looked him in the eye, her blue ones almost glowing.Only if you wish to my mortal knight.the girl said, her voice faltering slightly as her heart began to beat faster.

His smirk turning into a mere grin, Alucard slowly closed the gap between then, whispering "Yes, my queen." before capturing Alice's lips with his own, savoring the warmth of her soft lips as he placed an arm around the curve of her back, pulling her closer.

Alice quickly wrapped her arms around Alucard's neck and let herself melt into the kiss. This was better than anything Wonderland could give her. Netherlings were emotionless. This was powerful. This was Passion and love and everything amazing in the world. As Alucard pulled Alice closer to him her heels slipped off and she was standing on her bare toes by barley standing tall enough. Trying not to break the kiss, Alice tried to pull her lite self up closer to Alucard but had no luck.
