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

Who is the monster and who is the man?

Everyone in the room was silent as Joker held his hand out to the beautiful outsider named Clara. Silence filled the room until you could hear a pin drop from a mile away.

"Hell no. You can leave immediately." Clara broke the quiet room with her cold and stern sentence. Boris let Clara out of his hands as he needed them for accurate aim with his gun. Instead, Blood swooped his arms around the girl's waist and began to flee with Clara screaming her protests through a rainbow of cuss words.

"NO FUCK NO IMMA NOT LEAVING THE FUCKING FIGHT FOR YOU GUYS TO DIE FOR ME!!!" She screamed as her fists pounded on Blood's back. She felt like a small child that was taken away from her most precious gift and told to go sit in a corner. Blood continued to carry the crying girl away from the action and toward his mansion where he knew they'd be safe.

"I'm sorry Clara." He said through deep breaths for air. "We couldn't risk you getting hurt again."

"I don't care!!!" Clara screamed, "It doesn't give you the right to die in my place!!" Her legs gateway and she sat in her knees in the dusty road. "I can't see you leave me too, not any of you.." Blood took the chance to stop the crying by embracing Clara in a loving way.

"And we couldn't go on living if you died." He countered. "You have this ability to make everyone around you smile and laugh at the worst of situations." Clara had never heard someone speak such words of kindness to her. Not her mother or her friend. More tears began trickling down her cheeks as she buried her face into his tux.

"I just...feel so helpless.." She cried into his now tearstained clothing. After she calmed down a bit, Blood noticed she fell into a much needed deep sleep. He smiled faintly and picked her up bridal style as he entered his home.

"I order you to leave the vicinity at this moment, Joker." Vivaldi snapped at the joker as he simply chuckled. This chuckle grew into a all out laugh causing Julius to flinch instinctively. He had never really been in a true fight before, so what should he do? He turned his clock earring into his precious knife in a matter of seconds.

Ace knew his role was to protect. And so he will. Pulling out his slick, steel sword, he put his trust in the metal that could cut bullets in half.

Peter would die for Clara if it came down to it. He changed his pocket watch into his fully loaded pistol with two rounds ready for him to fire in the name of love.

"What are you laughing at?!?" Nightmare was now put to the sidelines due to Grey's concern for fighting and he himself had armed himself with the nearest thing to him; a ceramic pot.

Boris and the twins teamed up together with Boris's pistol and twin axes. While Gowland stood next to the three with his violin now a fully automated rifle.

"Nothing~!" Joker snickered as he eyed the group of men. Boris grew tense as his eyes came to land on the cat. His smile widened. "I'm just wondering who is the monster and who is the man."

Everyone became confused at the same time. What the hell was this psychotic man talking about?

"I mean, I simply asked Clara if she'd like to join me," Joker twirled on his toes away from the men before twirling back. "But you got all protective, and now you're pointing guns. How can the lady stand being next to you without being afraid? You lot seem to be blinding yourself to who the real threat is." The madman walked dangerously close to Boris, placing his index finger over his heart.

"Yourselves."

Boris's eyes widened in fright, and this is when Joker's smile became that of a cheshire's. Because that's when Boris felt a knife plunge through the skin in his right shoulder.

"Boris!" Ace called out in surprise as Boris crumpled to the ground in pain, and everyone came to the bleeding cat's aide.

Because that's when they realized that Clara was right. She was right to say each and everyone needed each other to face the evil in front of them.
