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

Fallen soldiers and the modern world

Peter's eyes widened in fright. How? Why? He saw Dum fall to his knees in defeat, while Julius screamed profanities at Joker. Is this it?

"No.." Peter slid to his knees as well as the shock settled in.
"Now all I need to do," Joker pulled out a metallic knife and a jar from his bottomless pockets. "Is collect your clocks." His smile was insane and manacle. Bloody watches lay broken inside the jar as dark shadows of people they used to know his in various places; hoping to once again become human. Everyone had fallen either from exhaustion or defeat, but Boris, the most injured of all, stood proud.

"I won't let you!!!!" He promised to stay alive; for Clara's sake.

"You're a bit late!~" he laughed with the speed of lightning, Boris and the other brave ones with roles felt their cold clocks hit the floor with a small, THUD.

No clock was broken, but Ace could only begin to cry for his Clara who was now without a knight of hearts. Peter never gave up trying to become human. The twins huddled together, scared. Elliot swore over and over at the fact that he would never repay his debt to Hatter. Boris fell unconcise. Vivaldi stood quietly, like a statue. Both Grey and Nighmare sighed, now they were finally dead. You can only go so far with treaties, but when someone lusts for blood, there is no stopping Joker. Gowland tried to reason, but to no avail. And Julius? He simply didn't see the point. He had worked for years with clocks, and knew there was no way getting out in this situation.

All knew they could only hope and pray that their precious Clara was safe.

This was the prayer of fallen soldiers.

"Now, let's head to the modern world!~!" Joker twirled on his toes in a happy manor as he skipped toward Hatter's Mansion.

~~~~~~~lé Clara skip

"The others won't live through the attack." Blood looked cautiously from behind a curtain out into the night sky. He turned his head to the sleeping Clara who's cheeks were still wet from crying. "I have the whole mansion in lock down, and we are in the safest room, but even that will be broken down after awhile." Without proper thinking, he laid down next to Clara, facing her sleeping form.

You are special. Everyone here can't see a life without you.
He pushed a strand of hair out of her eyes gingerly before taking off his hat and setting it on the nightstand.

BOOM.

The sound caused both Clara and Hatter to awake. They rushed to the window, unaware of the danger as they stared into the violet abyss of a cloud. Down on the ground, seeming to command the evil, was Joker as the clocks of the dead lay in a circle around him.
"It's dangerous!!" Hatter tried helplessly as he raced after the girl as she rounded a corner to the garden. Many black shadows came to greet her while they enveloped her in their darkness. Clara had known at that moment, They weren't coming back.

Ace.

Peter.

Vivaldi.

Boris.

Gowland.

Dee, and Dum.

Elliot.

Nightmare.

And poor Julius.

"I'm so sorry..." One shadow mourned as it wrapped it's wiry arms around the girl's body. Clara hadn't noticed how many tears fell onto the ground, but came back to reality as she was now outside in the whipping wind while Blood had a protective arm around her waist. A flash of white blinded their vision and covered the ground as well as white snow.

"New world,~" Joker laughed at the face of danger, throwing his hands into the sky. "HERE I COME!!~!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

".....Clara?"

"Is that you??"

Clara's eyes opened slowly as she tested her own weight on her legs.
Nope.
She fell to the ground and every bone refused to begin again. Her friends were dead. Never again to see the light of day. Two hands set themselves upon her shoulders as they violently shook her back and forth.

"LOOK THE DOCTOR'S HERE!!!" A female voice broke through Clara's trance and she snapped her eyes open to look for the imaginary man.

"See!! It is her!!" The voice cracked in sadness and Clara saw the hazel eyes of her best friend for the first time in three years.

"Rachel..?"

"Welcome back Clara Hawk. Welcome back bro." Her friend broke down in tears.

"Clara? ...Are we dead?"
There, in front of the two ladies, stood the anthro cat with eyes shut tightly and a even tighter grip on his tail with his hands. Shakily, she stood up quickly and jumped into his embrace.

"I thought you were gone.." Clara cried into his shoulder.

"We'll never truly be gone." Vivaldi spoke with a smile in her voice as she placed a hand over her heart.

"Because we are always here."
