[Clover]

::Clover awoke rubbing it's eyes slowly, the night before drouble had broken thorughout wonderland as expected. Wonderland attempting to find the Hatter played dirty tricks on the wondering at night. Even the large cat's who were nocturnal new not to wonder far from their 'home'. Clover's eyes glanced at the sleeping girl, Madeline was different. So much more then the girl who first came in so it had heard. This girl had a large sowrd with her, and was quite the adventurer. Not to mention her manners were that of a child, rather she knew better to appologice and give up then just fight an endless mad war.

Streatching Clover stood from it's bed setting the small bear on it's desk and walking towards the showers that were part of its bedroom. Not once could clover understand the meaning of the maddening set up of it's room. Showers, a dynining area, and beds it almost felt like it's parents didn't wish him to leave it's room. Shrugging the thought Clover finished getting ready soon after it wrote a note for Madeline to fallow. Walking towards the dome where the people were now staying Clover motion for it's uncle to fallow. They would take the defire and throw them in first since Clover really didn't want to deal with Wonderlands unrules. Taking in a soft breath Clover and it's Uncle finally made it to the room. Everyone seemed to still be sleeping witch was a good thing, setting it's arms around the white haired male with that funny green paint of his hair Clover pulled him off the bed and near it's Uncle.::

Very well Clover, we will sent the one whom defide you back. We have no idea what it will let in though... what if it is something worse?

::Clovers head tilted just slightly::

I"ll take care of it...

::Clover glanced around the room, everyone as Clover had expected were still sleeping. The cat however was no where to be found, Babbit seemed to be snuggled happily to the male who she obiously thought of her master. The Vampire and mini demon were sleeping well one of them was the other seemed kind of dead. The souls seemed to be in a rather awake/sleep state sending a shiver down Clovers back.::

Ok Clover, but you'll have to answer to your mother if something wrong happens here.

::Clover nodded, the circle opened up once againt tossing in the male clover let out a sigh. Only Wonderland knew what would come in and how the male would get out.::

[Spade Siblings]

One moment, Johanna was meandering down a dirt road and the next she was falling for no apparent reason. Popping out the other end of whatever she had fallen into, she immediately came face-to-face with the Ace of Clubs.

"You!" Her mouth formed the word before she turned to look around, breathing deep of the familiar air, hope welling up in her. "I'm back!"

The grin curling her lips was not particularly pleasant.

[Clover]

::Clover's eyes widen as a smile soon after formed, falling to it's knees it quickly graved a hold of the young princes of spades pulling her into a deep, strong and almost suffocating embrace.::

Johanna!!!

::Clover cried out as it hold her still to itself, finally one wonderland native. The happiness though quickly ended, it was Johanna without her brother. This would cause problems in the Sapdes kingdom and truly Clover was closer to the lover boy Leon then his sister. Standing up still holding on to the girl Clover looked at it uncle who quickly pressed a button pulling up a cage, tossing Johanna into it and closing it Clover gave her a weak smile::

Look deary, I don't mean to lock you up it is not nice and it might start a war. I don't want you to hurt yourself or other though on your brother's abssense so lets play nice. Where is Leon?

[Spade Siblings]

At first, she was surprised and rather squished. How long had it been since someone other than her parents had hugged her? How long had it been since Leon - ?

Then, when she hit the bars of the cage, all she felt was rage and betrayal.

"You horrible, horrible child! Let me out at once! I am the Princess of Spades and this is kidnapping! I demand to be released and returned to my kingdom!" She screamed and tugged on the bars with her fists. The cage was sturdy, unfortunately for her, and would not budge, but that did not deter her in the slightest. "This means war!"


~~~

Benvolio had been invited to stay in the castle since the sun had already set and Wonderland was perilous at night, even more so since so many went missing. His sleep had been restful and he was glad to have been treated so graciously by the King and Queen. He had even been so lucky as to not have met their child on his trip.

It was on his way to breakfast that everything went sour.

[Clover]

::clover shook it's head::

It is for your own protection me lady, though i can't give you a bedroom yet..

::cover pointed::

you see them? they are from wherever it was you came from my love, I don't mind you going back to your kingdom but if Leon is not here, you might end up in that cage which he pulled you out of. For your own freedom I must keep you.

::Clover's uncle looked at him in disbelieve::

You are going to keep this monster?! let them kill her while Leon is not present!!

::Clover eyes glanced angerly at it's uncle::

Not my future bride no...

[Samir]

Both of samir arms could be seen  they where oddly twisted in such a way to hold babbit soft furr.. other then that he come completely covered by the blankets...

so noisy..do not want to open eyes.. to crazy.. too colorful...why does my tummy hurt?

Babbit woke up once she heard voices that did not belong to her master. this made her nervous. She could only get a peek on what was goign on.. she layed there dead still but walching making sure no one approached them.
"hmmm bit bunny... babbit its a fest.." samir muttered falling back into his dream of.. what type of animal where out there

[Spade Siblings]

"You liar, liar, LIAR!" Johanna hissed, baring her teeth ferociously as she beat on the bars with her fists, kicked them with the flat of her foot, and finally drew her sword to cut at them. With her sword, she made cuts in the metal, but it was not enough to free her, only weaken the bars and dull her blade.

She would not stop, not with that lying creature of Clubs on the other side, trying to pacify her with outrageous lies. The other man wasn't any better, suggesting that they kill her!

~~~

Those screams were all too familiar and, forgoing breakfast for now, Benvolio headed towards the sound of the princess' screams. All too soon, he found the dome, making him wonder where that building had come from. Hadn't it been some odd shape with a bunch of sides?

In any case, the Jack entered and was unsurprised to find his dear princess in a cage. The worrying thing was that Leon was nowhere to be found and Clover stood there, unaffected as usual. Had something happened? Hadn't the princess been one of the missing ones?

"Your highness," Benvolio started, bowing low to the Ace. "Might I ask what my princess is doing here?"

There was no need to question why she was in a cage. Whether Leon was or wasn't here, Johanna was a danger to others as much as herself, especially when she wasn't getting her way.

[blackcat]

My lady,

You are to remain in this room at all times. The palace is dangerous so you cannot leave without my personal permission. I have some business to attend; I do not know how long it will take, but you will be sent for if needed.
Feel free to take a shower in the meantime.

Clover

[Clover]

::Clover glanced at Bemvolio and clinged to him, nuzzling againt his arm::

We manged to get her back, but not the boy. We have a way to bring them back you see....but things aren't going as smoothly... obiously.

::Clover sighted looking behind itself to see theo others laying::

...

Clover's mother was walking around the castle, making her way to her childs bedroom.

[Blood Brothers]

Amon had been awake for half an hour now and that was when he finally decided that waking up every hour, on the hour, was not worth sleeping on some half-dead guy's chest. At that time, he had rolled over onto his uncle and remained there, feigning sleep when people entered. However, he couldn't deal with the woman's screeching for much longer and that is when he sat up and began poking his uncle.

Nanashi remained blissfully unconscious, even after having his breakfast stolen from him and tossed through the portal. The poking made no difference, either.

[Spade Siblings]

"Ah," Benvolio muttered, staring down at the green-haired royal with a light blush. This was the exact reason why he was hesitant to visit the Club Kingdom. Just seeing Clover made him imagine Nyuriel giving him the evil eye from behind the royal. It really didn't help that Johanna was still screaming and hissing at the being nuzzling his arm.

[blackcat]

[S-O-Y]

Oraku could hear a cacophony of sorts in the other room within the dome the group slept and bathed in. His eyes slowly rose to be open, his lungs pulling in air with a gentle inhale. He was awake. Getting up from the white bed, he smoothed down his clothes starting from his shoulders all the way down to his ankles and shoes, making sure those were tied. He pulled at the sides of his jacket straightening them out looking down at his bare chest and smiling. And thats why I hate wearing shirts..., he thought to himself as he left the room. Coming into view was what was taking place in results to the loud outbursts of screams and banging. He tilted his head a little and raised his left eyebrow at the people now standing in the dome's covering. A very odd cage was holding what seemed to be a girl, but by the way she was slashing and screaming about in the cage...she came off rather banshee like. He tried to stifle a chuckle but his own thought couldn't help but make him laugh. He shook his head a placed a hand to cover his mouth.

[Clover]

::Clover still nuzzled Benvolio's arm, looking up at the man Clover managed to give Benvolio a rather sweet/dark look, in a way warnining him not to take the princes out regardles of how much the kingdom of spades wantedt their children. Leon had to be there too, only Wonderland knew if Leon was still alive and since the spades kingdomn hadden fallen yet into millions of pices that just meant that the little King was still alive.;:

Johanna regected me Bemvolio...

::Clover faked a sob and pressed itself closer to the male. Glancing at her Clover smiled holding it's hand out::

Please beloved Johanna take me up on my offer?


---

A rather cold hand moved so quickly Madeline was pulled back from the ajared door, one on her mouth the other on her stomach as she was pressed against a man's chest. Mercutio looked down at the lady, a smile parted his lips.

"This, might very well be my lucky day... Such a beautiful flower in a castle of clovers"

The voice of the male came out sothing and firm, the male smiled softly before shifting himself to look at the ajar door. Shaking his head he sighted closing the door behind him.

"Clover is at it again isn't it? The Queen looks rather worried, could it be because of you little princess?"

[Spade Siblings]

"Liar! I wouldn't take your hand for anything since you truly feel nothing of the sort," Johanna growled, glaring at Clover for all she was worth. The brunette had heard some interesting things about Clover, but she wasn't interested in outrageous rumors unless they held some modicum of truth. If she could figure out who the other Royal was really interested in, then she could use that as leverage to get it to help her kill Leon and take her proper throne.

"Benvolio," she whimpered, all signs of malice gone as she gazed up at the Jack. "Get me out. You know how I don't like cages." Reaching out towards her servant, she blinked her teary, brown eyes at him like she used to do when she was little and not getting her way.

Benvolio looked like he was hypnotized as he reached out and took her hand. Of course, the firm hands on his arm gave a painful squeeze, reminding him that Clover was in charge and Johanna was not to be freed. He gave her a hopeless look.

"No!" Pulling the Jack to her, she clutched at him and glared hatefully at Clover. "You can't have my servant and if you're going to keep me locked up, then I demand he remain with me!"

[Clover]

::Clover blinked, a smirk perked upon it's lips as it's head tilted to one side, hair falling over it's face::

Fine by me, I'm not complaining...I get more to look at anyway.

::Clover clapped it's hands::

So I get to have my two possiblities for marrige here with me! Well, it would be three if I could of gotten your brotehr back.

[Spade Siblings]

"You're a horrible thing," Johanna groaned, still holding tight to Benvolio, who just laughed nervously. The princess, he knew, would not harm him, even in her madness. Clover, on the other hand, was not one Benvolio knew very well. If only the prince were here, the green-haired Royal would have someone else to latch onto while he distracted Johanna.

As much over-friendly attention Clover lavished on him, there was still that feeling that it was just teasing or playful flirting. At least, he thought it was like that. Clover made him nervous and Nyuriel would probably use him as a favored scratching post should he ever even consider Clover's propositions.

"How did you get a hold of the princess, if I might ask, your highness?"

[blackcat]

[Clover]

::clover blinked, such smile never leaving the red lips of the young royal;:

Magic, magic that only the clubs can use.... I need to get a hold of Leon first however if you are to take my bride back.

--

Mercutio blinked a sly smile spred his lips.

"I thought you were hiding from the large lady..."

he stated quite calm and somewhat threatening.

"Don't worry I don't bite, that hard...'

[Spade Siblings]

"Ah, well, getting the prince back would be wonderful," Benvolio said, feeling Johanna's arms around him tighten slightly. The girl really was a sweetheart, but there was some screw loose in her head that made her more than a little dangerous at times, mostly just for Leon.

"Brother is... missing?" Johanna murmured softly, head down. If anyone who didn't know better saw her like this, they'd believe she was a lost, little girl that had just found out that her dearly beloved brother was gone. Those who did know her, of course, knew better. "Papa and Momma must be very worried with us both gone."

"Y-yes," Benvolio said, getting that scary, sinking feeling again. Was it just him or did Johanna have that evil aura that meant she was about to go crazy again? If he could, he might have scooted away from her to give her some room and perhaps to get out of the area that was shortly going to become a war zone.

[Blood Brothers]

Amon poked his uncle harder, hearing the bed underneath them creak from the force. Perhaps this wasn't the best way of waking Nanashi. Nothing truly bad was happening, but the little demon still thought it best to wake his uncle. There were so many weird things going on around here and that girl who screamed worse than Nanashi was stuffed into a cage, but that still didn't make her stop.

These people were really weird and he wished his papa was here, then he'd explain things or at least get him out of here. Amon really thought that these people were fussing over nothing important.

[Samir]

Babbit awoke with a jult. That girls screamings was..simply horrable.
She wriggled herself free from samir grasp and effertly jumped out of bed making almost no sound other then a dull thud with her gaint paws touching down on the smooth stone growned.
She walked out to see what was going on, bumping her head into clover hand demaning attenchion.

[S-O-Y]

It was truly a mess what the people were babbling and squawking over. Princess, Prince, Clubs, Clover, all of it was a rambunctious mess. What was odd though was the opinion Oraku had about it. He thought it was quite entertaining. The dramatics of it all, with the poker faces and bluffs. It really was a mad house to the brim at this point, so much action and tension in the room. His stomach felt full of all the emotion. He was throughly fed by all the hate, and fake love coursing through the room. His lips curled into a wicked grin, his eyes shimmering between red orange and burnt red. A soft cool breeze came in through the door from a window within the place. Blowing up behind Oraku, a smell of roses wafted into the room. His face became serious, the smirk still residing upon his lips.

[blackcat]

[Clover]

::Clover moved slightly forward, then quickly turned to look at the large cat. it smiled softly, Clover loved cats ever since childhood it just loved them. Moving it's hand up Clover gently petted Babbit loosing all attention to Benvolio only a form of warning came out of it's lips::

If you don't stop it, Johanna... I'll ask for Mercutio to come see you.

--

Mercutio blinked, 'That bastard ruined my fun!' Mercutio whispered to himself letting go of the girl and sighing. Rubbing the back of his head he took in a deeper breath and smiled brightly.

"My name is Mercutio, I am a jack in this palace. A pleasure dear Madeline."
