Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ace smiled childishly at her, still taking in her appearance. "My you're adorable in person! Forgive me if this meeting is . . . awkward. I was assigned to capture you after all." He laughed nervously.

"So, how old are you, Miss. Alex? I was told by the Jacks that you appear to be a young teenager, so I imagined you'd be fourteen or fifteen years old."



Ace of Hearts paused, recognizing the voice. He turned a heel and noticed the menacing Jack of Spades stepping nearer.

He breathed deeply in attempt to calm the wild electricity that suddenly shot through his nerves. "Jack of Spades," he said, attempting to sound calm.

"My, my, What a cold welcome for your savior Ace of hearts" She said smiling when she reached his side, for some reason the fact that he was so reticent to her presence just made her feel weirdly attracted to tease him, the fact that he kissed her sister also added some to the fire.

Marcie went to the front desk once more, still no sings of progress.

Nobody went inside the carriage with Maria and they made their way to the Lake in not time by going the opposite direction. the lake was half frozen, like everything on his kingdom, this land of looking glass was cold even in summer so it being winter was not very helpful, but when it was cold enough the nenufars sometimes frozen and made a beautiful sight, like cristal flowers over the frozen lake surface, he wondered if it was the case this time around.

((well Maria is not the only mad person here really.... and the country is being run by Jack of diamonds, who is not much better in the head if you ask me))

Alex thought about what he said,He does have a point....but being sixteen right now doesn't help....,"I could tell that you were around nineteen or twenty." she said,then smiled,"Wonderland was great,expect for the part that suits were sent after me." she said.

Jackie giggled "You shouldn't believe all that you are told Ace of hearts, do you really believe you lasted 48 hours there? do you think you are strong enough? don't make me laugh Ace, you couldn't last 24 hours there with your demons" she said mockingly remembering the files she just basically absorbed in to her brain.

Alex shrugged,"It's okay,I've heard my mothers stories...I understand." she said,then smiled,"Nope,I've seen and heard about scarier things.No offense." she said.

Jackie smirked "Tell you and risk angering Jack of diamonds? no thank you, I already defied him enough by asking him to take you out of there sooner, but for how bad you seemed at lying I am surprised no one told you already just how long you where missing" she made a small pause and continued "Demons, well, you do have a sad past as a suit don't you? inside that room even the most vague memories can turn against you, but you must know that already" she finished starting to walk on the general direction ace of hearts had been walking previously "Are you going to see Jack of diamonds?" she asked casually.

((bye, see ya in an hour... or not....))

Jackie smirked " i don't need your gratitude Ace of hearts, so long as you know you are on debt whit me... i will collect my toll sooner or later" she said turning to face Ace of hearts, she could always find a way to use that favor "Besides, we are understaffed as it is and it is my job to care about the well being of the suits, at least physically, just like it is Jack of Diamond's duty to 'discipline' them. usually taking care of the recruits would be jack of hearts task but well, you know how it goes, i am not that good at that, as you can see yourself. i am more of a military person" she snickered a little and continued walking backwards.

((hey Serene, I made a sketch of something similar to your current avi here hope you like))

Ace of clubs sighed, she had not kissed anyone on the lips ever since the death of the last Ace of Clubs, and she had never really liked that guy, he had caused her to have a lot of mixed feeling in every one of their encounters, even before she became a suit, but the fact that he had been so willed to die on her hands always made her wonder.

Ace of clubs sighed softly again as she began to remember, if asked she would deny remembering anything but even if she wanted to forget it was all too clear in her mind.

The young Ace of clubs walked down the Queen of hearts' castle hallway, it was a nice and warm day, like the weather was mocking her, she had been 15 then and not yet a suit, her silver hair was very short and even though her body already showed sings of development she was far from drawing too much attention because of her beauty yet, she had been sent by her father to do the medical examination to become a suit so when she reached the infirmary's door she was a bit nervous, she knocked 4 times and waited.

"Come in" Was the response she got from the inside, it was a nice voice, a man's voice and she would had obeyed had she not been so nervous about the examination and it's results, but as it was, she stood there one second too late, when she was about to reach for the door knob the door itself flung open by a young man wearing a white coat and a black pin of a club with an A on it, the former Ace of clubs "You must be Elizabeth" He said smiling kindly and holding the door open for her "I will be with you in a minute, do you know where are you going to be assigned yet?" surely this was routine.

Elizabeth walked in whit a whispered 'thank you' and seated in an empty bed just in front of a man having a blood transfusion, she was blushing and looking at her lap, her voice was a little shaky with nervousness when she answered "Not yet sir, but I rather be a Club than an Spade like my father wants me to if I get a choice" this seemed to amuse the former Ace of clubs for when he came back with a vial of white liquid and a syringe he was bearing a mischievous smirk on his lips "A club you say, and why might I ask?" yes, he was definitively amused.

"I...well... is just... something that I heard" She said feeling like she had betrayed herself at some point but unable to figure out just when so she forced herself to continue "I heard that it was a Clubs job to save lives and not to end them" she said feeling her face become hot and hearing the former Ace of clubs chuckle "Who told you that nonsense?" he said but offered an apologetic smile at Elizabeth when he saw tears beginning to form on her eyes, he had just broken her ideal and she was just 15, she couldn't possibly know of the cruelty of this world as of yet.

The former Ace of clubs pulled Elizabeth in to an embrace and kissed one of the unreleased tears in her eyes which made her gasp and blush "Now, Now, You are a good girl right?" He whispered to her ear enjoying every second of the proximity, he would teach her about the cruel ways of the world "Let me show you something" He said guiding her hand to the tube that connected the prepared blood and the man's arm and making her press the tube until an air bubble formed, he then made her watch until the air reached the man's arm, 30 seconds after the man opened his eyes suddenly and gulped his last heavy breaths of air, his eyes where glassy and wide in realization and a second later they lost their light.

The man was dead. "Congratulations, that was your first kill" the former Ace of clubs said embracing her from the back "Shall we begin your check up?" He was really enjoying himself.

Elizabeth was shocked, too shocked to think or feel anything, she just stood there looking at what she had done, at what Ace of clubs had made her do with just a little bit of air How could she? How could he? was it not enough to shatter her ideals? did he also had to step on them and turn her in to a murderer? she didn't realize the missing arms around her until she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head "What-are-you-doing" she breathed out in pain "It's just routine" Came the simple response from the former Ace of clubs "Now, shall we have some fun while you loose consciousness?" He asked smirking as he made Elizabeth turn to face him so that he could see her look of hurt and hatred "How cute" he whispered to her lips before kissing her.

Elizabeth felt awkward, she didn't close her eyes but didn't pull away, she felt weak and light headed, this man attracted her and revolted her at the same time, they had just met, why was he kissing her? why was she allowing him to do that? she broke the kiss but didn't pull away yet.

The former Ace of clubs kissed her softly again and started to touch her "stop" Elizabeth yelled with as much decency as she could and pulled away with a furious blush on her face, she didn't want to admit she quiet much liked the sensations she was beginning to feel but neither did she want to continue in such a state.

The former Ace of clubs snickered "You are the first one that tells me to stop, fine then, but you will have to kiss me again once you are back to your senses" he said placing a finger to Elizabeth's soft lips.

The young Elizabeth nodded, that was all she could do now, she felt dizzy, her eyes where unfocused and her mind foggy "good girl" Was all she could hear before collapsing "Good night Elizabeth" She wouldn't hear or remember that name again until 5 years to come.

((you see this very long post? well gaia seems to hate me right now so I had to type it twice.... that was a pain in the.... well anyhow, this is the first memory of the previous Ace of clubs Elizabeth has (by now it should be pretty clear that is Ace of clubs real name) and she killed him 4 years after but I had to stop here because the post was long enough as it is... I might post the rest another day))
