(Rosalie's POV)

I opened my eyes and blinked a few times, adjusting myself to the harsh daylight. The night period had been short and I was still sleepy. It seemed though, that all the role holders were ready to go; their tents were packed away along with their belongings.

I stretched and rubbed my eyes. Elliott walked over to me, I asked him why no one had woke me.

" I don't know about them but I didn't want you to pull my ears again." He said good humouredly. I smiled and thought back to our previous encounter. I realised that I had been in wonderland for a while now, at least a month. I took my vial out, thanks to Nightmare I would be here for another month.

I looked past Elliott and saw Blood looking at me, he was smiled and our eyes met, I quickly glanced away hiding the blush on my cheeks, when I had first got to Wonderland I would never of let myself feel this way.

I was mechanical, emotionless. I thought that was the only way I could be, simply because that was the only way I was ever taught to be. It was different now, I wasn't afraid of these feelings, I had embraced them. I stood, brushed myself off and went over to Blood's side. I didn't care what the other role holders thought.

I would be with Blood and it didn't matter what anyone else thought.

(Blood's POV)

I draped my arm over her shoulder, enjoying the jealous glances the other role holders were giving me. I knew she was aware of them.

"I love you" I said bending down to look into her chocolate brown eyes. She didn't smile, I didn't expect her too but I could notice the happiness in her face. I moved my face closer to hers and our surroundings disappeared. All I could hear was her heartbeat, all I could smell was her delicious scent, all I could see was her beautiful face. Her, my Rosalie.

( Elliott's POV)

Boss was acting different now he was with Rosalie. he was with Rosalie, those words made me feel sick but I knew I could do nothing, she wanted him and he made her happy. Anyway I owed Blood and I would have to accept things how they were.

(Grey's POV)

We had all been ready to travel for a while now, but still we waited for Rosalie, the foreigner that every role holder would come to love. Had come to love.

She pulled away from Blood's embrace and closed her eyes. It hurt me to admit it but she was happy. She came over to me, Julius and Nightmare.

"Should I help carry anything?" She asked.

Of course she didn't have to, but her question was only for courtesy, she picked up some tent equipment and called to us, "Well, aren't any of you coming."

(Rosalie's POV)

It had been a few days after the hike and life was returning to the most normal it could be in Wonderland. I had set myself a sort of daily routine. Wake up, make Julius coffee, go to the Hatters, see Blood, Elliott and the Twins. And then visit another territory before returning to the clock tower where I'd usually see Grey and Nightmare. It was also a recurrence for Nightmare to pop into my dreams .

Obviously the routine didn't also happen exactly as the time periods changed randomly but it was close enough.

I was on my way to the Hatter Mansion and the sun was setting, All the in the sky was beautiful and I could just glimpse a few stars appearing. I walked up to the gates and noticed that the twins had left, I mused on there absence. They were probably with Boris at the amusement park.

"Excuse me, Miss Rosalie ?" a faceless soldier asked me.

"Yes"

"Mr. Dupre has requested you in his rose garden"

I nodded and followed him into the mansion gardens, I told him I could find my own way and he left. I walked to the secret rose garden entrance. I could see Blood and he was sitting at a table a few metres away from me. His back was turned and I could see his muscular physic and jet black hair . I was about to call out to him when I had a brilliant idea. I snuck up behind him occasionally hiding around trees when I thought he might turn. I slowly stood up behind him and abruptly placed my hands on his shoulders.

He turned to face me and calmly smiled. "I could hear you coming" he chuckled smugly.

Damn it , I thought to myself.

"My I join you" I asked seeing the dinner and candles on the table.

"Of course" he said pulling my chair back so I could sit down.
