My contest entry for Unique- The Masked's contest! B)

Summary: After breaking two rules in her contract with her former master, genie Alice Liddell finds herself stuck with a punishment that lands her as a genie to a house of nine males. Let's just say with this combination, it's hard to decide which of the two parties deserves your prayers the most. AU Alice/Some dude I'll pick later

In this AU story, the role holders are humans living in a huge mansion estate. Just as the original they are separated in this house. Green side, blue, red, and yellow.

Given the direction I took it in a while back, it's practically a shoujo parody in a way lol

Edit: 11/26/13

Oh, look another edit notice. Well, to be short I hate this story's chapters 1-9 with a fiery passion and I want it all to burn in an inferno of my embarrassment, but I won't delete them (Ah, a woman's decision making is as complex as ever.) Basically, chapter 10 and onward are going to be funky fresh because they're newer and stuff and maybe in the future I'll revise chapters 1-9 but we'll just see in time. Anyways, enjoy?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Chapter 1: Masters? Ha, More Like Victims

I, Alice Liddell, hereby agree under the terms of my punishment to now serve the new set of male masters I have been assigned to.

Under this contract, I shall grant each of my new masters a maximum of five wishes each; regardless of how demeaning it may be to me as I am nothing more but a possession to be used in order to fulfill their desires.

Following through to the end of the punishment shall reestablish my status within the magical realm as held previously.

Any form of violation in this contract or the general jinn deal will result in my immediate execution.

x…

"No words can even express how disappointed I am with you."

Scowl firmly planted on her lips, Alice simply brought her legs upward on the chair she sat in to cross them. Her eyes shifted away from the man seated behind the desk ahead of her and she strummed her fingers on the arm of the cushioned chair she was situated within in an effort to bring her attention away from him.

It was kind of embarrassing how she was actually stuck in his office like some sort of child that had been naughty one too many times.

Incredibly demeaning, even for her.

She knew he wanted her to say something, especially with the glare he held over her form, but she couldn't find any words for him.

Part of her knew that if she dared to speak, nothing but tears or shouts would come out anyways and that was the last thing she wanted.

"Miss Liddell, what do you have to say for yourself? Your silence isn't charming." His words came out harshly and under normal circumstances, she greatly feared his anger but considering how different their meeting was this time around, she wasn't afraid, she lacked any sort of feeling honestly.

Still not meeting his eyes, she felt her shoulders shrug, "I don't regret what I did. He deserved everything that happened to him."

She could feel his gaze darkening over her and even a bit of the surrounding air seemed to grow heavier.

Sighing heavily, she folded her arms over her chest and turned to look at him reluctantly.

The look in his eye clearly signaled that he wanted her to take back her words and say something differently, but she wouldn't. There was no point in lying after everything that had happened.

"If I could go back and do it again, believe me when I say I would."

"You're such an insolent little thing, aren't you?" He sneered dangerously and Alice was able to see every piece of hidden anger on his features that didn't exactly show in his words, "If you were this disrespectful to your former master, I can see why he treated you the way that he did."

Grunting, Alice once again looked away from the man's face. Her heart felt a pang at his words, but she remained silent, knowing it definitely wasn't her place to speak up again.

"Ungrateful. You're so damned ungrateful; I don't even know why I even bother with you. You didn't even think about the repercussions your little stunt would have, did you?" He rhetorically inquired with a tsk, "Ungrateful, disrespectful, and terribly ignorant. I honestly can't even put up with looking at you."

Alice didn't dare gaze up; instead she took in each of his insults as strongly as she could.

It wasn't anything she hadn't heard before from him. She was used to it by now.

"Then why do you?" She whispered out lowly, her eyes not moving from the carpeted floor blankly.

The male paused for a moment and Alice was able to hear him adjusting himself in his large rolling chair before he cleared his throat deeply and spoke, "Miss Liddell—"

"Stop calling me Miss Liddell. Mom gave me the name Alice, why can't you at least give me some form of decent respect and refer to me the same way, Father?" She interjected with a slight sarcastic tone to her words.

"Alice," With how stressed the name came out, she could have wept at how empty her name sounded whenever he said it. There was never any meaning in it. "I apologize for letting my criticism go out of hand, however, I'm not excusing you from your punishment." Her father gently informed now, his voice much softer and somewhat comforting, though Alice could see right through him.

"I don't understand why I'm being punished in the first place for this. It's not fair."

"You've known the rules for far too long to even begin complaining about their 'fairness.' You act like you're the only one that's suffered under the unjustness they carry, so stop being such a spoiled brat and listen to me without any interruptions." His retort was immediate and contrastingly cold that the female's lips pursed and her eyebrows furrowed while her eyes went upward to meet with his own.

He watched at her steadily, his dark colored eyes now shielding themselves with the authoritative glint that he was infamous for, "The others on the Council want me to execute you."

Alice almost gasped but stayed as calm as she could, though the fear in her heart of reaching an early end because of the rules she broke easily allowed it to speed up quickly.

"I refuse to do that because I believe that you can change your attitude."

He closed his eyes and began to rub at his temple tiredly and Alice couldn't help but feel a flutter of hope in her stomach while she weakly eyed him, "So you're letting me go…?" She quietly inquired.

Her expectations were shattered when her father shook his head solemnly, "You know as well as I, that even the highest of the Council cannot relive you of your status. However, there is an alternative that I managed to get together for you."

Though a bit saddened by this outcome she listened intently.

"You have to prove your worth to the Council." He said looking down at his papers now.

Alice could have puked right then and there. If it involved proving herself to them, she might as well just get her execution on with right then and there.

"Just sign this contract. After you sign it, the words will appear." Her dad mumbled as he handed her the papers and the pen. Alice attempted to keep a neutral face on as she got up to sign the paper.

Just feeling the pen in her hand, she couldn't help but grow a bit shaky while she primly wrote her name on the line toward the bottom near the 'X.' A gut feeling in her said this wasn't going to end well, but she knew she had no choice.

Slowly, the words began to materialize on the dark sheet of paper and as she read it from the top the bottom, she felt her stomach drop in horror.

Her teal eyes widened in mortification as she slapped a hand to her mouth in nothing but shock. Her body began to tremble viciously while she allowed herself to reread the text once more as though to see if she had gotten it all wrong the first time, but when they remained the same she could feel tears of frustrations start to well their way her eyes, "Dad, why!?" She cried out as a blue smoke began encircling her from her feet slowly.

Already knowing what the smoke meant was enough to make the tears in her eyes begin streaming down her face while she sunk to her knees in devastation.

Henry Liddell shook his head once more as his gaze returned to the papers on his desk dismissively, "Remember the rules of the contract." He apathetically remarked before picking up his pen, "And good luck."

"Why wasn't I born a normal human?" She bitterly mumbled to herself, "Why couldn't I just be like Edith and Lorina?" She nearly sobbed out right as she felt the mist cloud begin to clog her senses.

-.-

"Why are we having another meeting? I could have sworn today was the green side's turn to pay rent." Blood questioned stoically as he and Elliot made their way into the dining room. The raven haired male wore a look of impassive nature on his face, though with how his words were phrased it was fairly easy to tell that he was very irritated.

To his side, the blond haired boy shrugged his shoulders, "Nightmare has been pulling off some stupid moves lately ever since he and his mom had that fall out... Or maybe he just forgot?"

Though his question obviously wasn't meant to be answered, Elliot could have sighed at how his companion didn't make any attempt to keep the conversation going as he continued his way to his seat.

When they were seated, with the looks everyone held it was fairly easy to say that anyone didn't expect the both of them to be the last ones to arrive.

After a moment, Nightmare did a quick headcount before he stood to the end of the big table brightly, "Looks like everyone's finally here now!" He exclaimed.

Everyone except for Ace glared at him.

Julius was the first to break the silence while he irritably eyed the male with his cobalt irises as expressionless as ever, "What's the meaning of this house meeting? We aren't supposed to have one for another week."

Peter's red eyes flashed dangerously, "I was in the middle of something important."

"Not only that, I just don't want to be here." Blood coldly inputted.

Everyone silently agreed with him as Nightmare laughed nervously while waving his hands around. "No! This is a real important matter to discuss!"

They all remained quiet waiting for him to continue, "Well you see, money has been a bit tight…" He began as Boris snorted,

"You're just cheap. Don't complain about how you and Julius are just two people for the green side. I have been able to pay for my side easily and I'm not even out of school yet." The purple haired boy rolled his eyes.

Nightmare moaned, his arms crossing over his chest indignantly, "It's not that I'm cheap! It's my mother; she's been increasingly difficult in loaning me money lately! So I called this meeting to say that I demand that we have another resident take a home here and that way they can join the green side and… Hey! Where are you guys going!?" He cried out as more than half the residents rose up from their seats.

"No." Blood shook his head as he pushed in his chair.

"We already said from the beginning, no new people." Dee responded with a nod. "Yeah, too many people in this place would be suffocating." Dum reasoned simply.

"Just stop." Julius deadpanned. "I think another person would be nice." Ace smiled. "I think another person would be stupid. We have enough germ infested morons in this place as it is." Peter icily stated glaring at Ace.

"B-but!" Nightmare sulked frantically, "You guys don't understand! With the way things are going with my mom, I won't be able to—"

Not even allowing him to finish, Elliot waved him off, "Just give it up."

As he said this, suddenly all the lights in the dining room shut off.

"Gr! I knew you forgot to pay rent, Nightmare!" Elliot's voice shouted over everyone else's.

All the lights immediately began flickering on and off slowly rising back to the same intensity it held before to all their amazement. "You were saying?' Nightmare stuck his tongue out at the boy who scowled.

Without warning at the center of the table, a blue smoke began appearing slowly as though the table was producing it.

"Whoa! When I bought this table, I swear they didn't tell me this would happen!" Boris raised his hands in defense as everyone's face too busy staring at the mysterious new vaporization that was now beginning to fill up slowly.

Soon, the smoke began to clear and when it did on the table was a petite girl, clearly a teen with long brown hair kneeling down, her were eyes shut closed as she clutched a genie lamp bottle close to her chest. Her attire was just as an Arabic princess. Blue aligned with gold trimmings and over her face was a thin veil.

"What the hell!?" Were the words that popped out the mouths of those who weren't too speechless to speak.

The girl, now dreamily opened her eyes. The instant she realized where she was she hopped to her feet swiftly. Angrily she looked around at everyone's shocked eyes. Her gaze first landed on Peter White's. Her blue eyes though harshly glaring into his for some reason softened when she met his equally hostile red ones.

And for the first time in his life, Peter felt his heart speed up as he gazed at the mysterious beauty that just appeared.

Next she crossed her arms and glared over at Nightmare, her eyes furious, she tore off her mask revealing her face to those in front of her. "I assume you're the one in charge around here. If that is the case, then it is a pleasure to meet you." She droned emotionlessly hopping off the table, her flat shoes smacking onto the floor with a light thud.

"Too all of you humans that are too stupid to realize anything… My name is Alice Liddell. I am a genie. I shall be granting all your wishes. Treat me well." She reluctantly added the last part as she bowed down respectively all the while silently scoffing at all the gasps she got.

Shit, there were a lot of them.

This was going to be a bit more than a challenge.
