When in the Country of Hearts (a alice in the country of hearts fanfic)

Humpty Dumpty is being put back together

Julius and Ace worked though a whole time period to stop the bleeding in Clara's shoulder. Many periods passed this way, but the danger stayed.

The Twins huddled in the corner of the room, rocking back and forth violently. Blood stared at the floorboards while Peter paced around the room. Elliot sat down in the closest seat available and murmured comforting words to himself.

Boris noticed all of their reactions were as if she would die. He stood calmly in the middle of the room, thinking inside of his head.

She'll make it. He assured himself. She's strong. Just like that song, Titanium. I promised her I wouldn't die, she can't die instead. He kept his eyes on her door, awaiting for Julius and Ace to step out.

None of them dare interrupt the two...

...Because they were afraid. Even though some were too proud to admit it. Julius slowly exited the room, and all eyes turned to him. His clothes were soaked with blood, and his eyes were dead panned.

"...She's going to live." He breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone relaxed; Peter and Blood were first to try and sneak around Julius to the girl's bedroom. Julius foresaw this, and turned around, Giving an uppercut punch to both of the men. Everyone stood, shocked. Julius was more of a peaceful kinda guy, not the kind you'd find handing out free punches to whatever asshole deserved it.

Let's face it, those two had it coming.

"WHAT THE HELL??!?!?!?!?!" Julius screamed at the top of his lungs. The two flinched. Because if you upset a clockmaker that doesn't get upset easily, you're dead meat. He pushed the two into the wall, where he held them by their coats. "You could've killed her...what the hell were you doing..?" He whispered, anger flaming in his eyes.

Peter looked down, and Blood soon followed. They knew fighting in front of Clara was wrong, but they had been stupid, mad, and just plain childish.

"You can go see her last." He coldly stated, turning to everyone else and nodding. The twins, Elliot, and Boris piled into her room. Clara laid in a bed shoved up in the middle of the opposite wall. All four walls were painted a royal blue with thin stripes of deep green and purple crisscrossing. They all looked around the room, amazed by the advancement in art. Clara's ragged breathing brought them all back to her frail body. She shuffled in bed as if she was restless.

"We didn't have and sedatives, so we simply told her to bite her tongue and swallow the pain." Ace explained, wiping his hands on a extra towel. Boris was the first by her side, stroking her hair. She only moved more.

"We need to calm her down." Elliot said, joining Boris at Clara's side. Dum looked around the room, his eyes coming into contact with Clara's iPhone. Poking his brother, the twins unlocked the phone and began scrolling through her endless maze of music. They tapped a song and it began playing at full volume.

The stars lean down to kiss you, and I lie awake and miss you. Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere. 'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly, but I'll miss your arms around me. I'd send a postcard to you, dear,

'Cause I wish you were here.

Clara stopped frantically moving, and her breath returned to a steady beat. The twins high fived, and hugged each other for their quick thinking.

I'll watch the night turn light blue, but it's not the same without you. Because it takes two to whisper quietly. The silence isn't so bad, until I look at my hands and feel sad. 'Cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.

Boris, subconcisely, laced his fingers through Clara's, whispering into her ear, "you'll make it, just open your eyes."

I'll find the pose in new ways, though I haven't slept in two days. Cold nostalgia chills me to the bone. Drenched in vanilla twilight, I'll sit on the front porch all night. Waist deep in thought 'cause when I think of you, I don't feel so alone.

...I don't feel so alone.

As many times as blink, I'll think of you, tonight.

...I'll think of you tonight.

Clara began to slowly open her eyes to the world around her. Everyone smiled at her. She felt like they were family to her.

When violet eyes get brighter, an heavy wings grow lighter, I'll taste the sky and feel alive again. I'll forget the world that I knew, but I swear I won't forget you. Oh, if my voice could reach back into the past, I'd whisper in your ear,

...Oh, darling, I wish you were here.

"Big sis!" Dee and Dum cheered wrapping their arms around her waist.

"Welcome back." Elliot smiled, the piece of hay still stuck between his teeth.
