Matt walked into the house. He thought, This will never be home....Home will be when I'm holding Ashle in my arms again, home will be my tea shop, home is with my friends...He walked to his room, and fell onto his bed. He put his arm over his eyelids. He sighed again. I miss home...

Marcie walked on the direction of the gravedigger's place, the sound of Matt's voice ringing in her head all the while "why do you do that, Marcie?" she smiled "Well, Matty, Dear, You might not have noticed but i live out of the time i should" she said smirking to herself, yes, she lived on the wrong time and the wrong place most of the time, when Matt loved her she could not bring herself to forget him as a brother and now that Matt had the chance of being 'Happy' with Ashle she could not forget the feelings she had locked away in order not to 'hurt' her 'little brother' such a fool she was, she had done just the opposite.
Walk and walk and walk again, her feet dragging her to her destination and Matt's voice driving her away from there "You should stay with the Ace...He's good for you. He loves you....and Marchy loves him..." she giggle a bit "What makes you think I do not?" she chanted for herself skipping a bit on her way "Really, Matty, Dear, don't you think i know already? but even so he knows this about me already" foolish boy, she was not going to commit the same mistake twice and even if she did, even if Raven had fallen for her the same way Matt mistakenly did, and only liked one part of her at least Raven had fallen for the darker side, the one she had tried to not reveal in front of Matt.
"Be careful, Marcie. You're going to get caught one of these days..." that one sentence was the one that made her smirk the most, she was not afraid of being caught, she was more afraid of freedom than of punishment "Getting caught does not worry me" she said, the gravediggers cabin coming in view but still pretty far away "What worries me is what will i do if your precious resistance kills the man i love" she said resting her weight in a tree and looking to the cabin for a bit, should she really speak to the gravedigger about joining the resistance if that meant the possibility of killing Raven? she sighed a bit, why did it always ended up in a decision between Matt and Raven?

((no offense to Matt, but i would like for Marcie to pick Ace over Matt...it would save both of them so much time and effort...))
Matt sighed again. He slowly began to drift to sleep. He'd had a long day.

Henry walked out to Marcie. "What did you say to him?" he asked. He knew that Matt had spoken to Marcie somehow. His dark skin and hair was a stark contrast to the brightness of the sun.

Marcie took a sit on the dirt, her back rested against a tree "I said 'nothing, i mean nothing at all, just do your best' and then kissed his forehead" She said looking up at Henry, and smiling but with her eyes a bit empty, like she was not there at all, after all she was still wondering whether to present her question to the gravedigger or not.

(LOL...charries suffering can be quite amusing...
Sorry for not being online in a while. I spent the day at my cousins' house.)
Shinsei nodded and shrugged his shoulders; there was nothing to do anyways.
Amy mentally slapped herself for initiating the questioning, abd now she had to make an excuse and she has to make one up, quick.
"I do hope that you find a perfect gift for your friend...and as to why I am here..." she paused.
"I may be a mere Ten, but it doesn't hold the Jacks back from giving me greater responsibilites as a suit...let's just say they chose me because I am sneaky..." she smiled deviously, a dark aura eminating from her.
I just hope this little trick works.

((EXEL, YOU'LL LIKE MY PROFILE SONG! blaugh ))
Gestalt headed out of the infirmary, know exactly what he had to do. The Ace of Clubs was out for a walk, off to clear her mind regain her simple memories. He, however, had to seek out that girl that had upset the Jack of Hearts. Clearly, she held more meaning to the Jack of Hearts than he claimed.
He didn't know where to start, but he was hoping to find her soon. He would have to request permission from his master, however, to leave the castle.
"Jack of Diamonds, sir," Gestalt said, knocking at his master's door.
Jack averted his weary gaze to the door, sighing deeply. "Enter," he called.
Gestalt entered slowly into Jack's office, suddenly feeling heavy at the sight of the familiar long-haired man.
"Master," he said, closing the door behind him. "I'm requesting permission to leave the castle."
Jack raised an eyebrow. "I beg your pardon!" he said loudly, forcing his body up with much struggle. He winced, doing his best to ignore the pain in his chest.
"For reasons pertaining to the Jack of Hearts," Gestalt said, rushing to Jack and placed his gloved hands on his master's back and shoulder to position him. "I have evidence to say that the Jack of Hearts has taken an interest in a woman."
Immediately, Jack turned his face to Gestalt. "What?" he shouted, not bothering to thank his doll. His sweaty face tensed in anger. "A woman? How would you know this?"
"He was spotted romantically with a woman, Master," he responded, moving Jack's loose strands of hair out of his face. "Since the Jack of Hearts, once again, is nowhere to be seen, I find it necessary to seek this woman out and bring her in for questioning."
Jack seized his doll's wrist and yanked him so that they were inches apart. "Gestalt," he hissed, gazing at the outline of his empty eye sockets. This close to his doll, Jack could take in Gestalt's peculiar smell, his flawless porcelain skin, his pale pink lips, his slender neck; Gestalt was truly a work of art, a piece of art Jack had destroyed.
"You are not to leave the castle without me," he breathed, using his other hand to grab Gestalt by the collar. "I am your master, you . . . thing. You stay near me at all times unless on duty in the castle. I'm going with you."
"Master," Gestalt said, "Clearly, you are unwell. You are pained and your breathing isn't well."
"I am fine!" Jack hissed, "Listen here, Lewis Liddell, your dear friend is here. He told me is going to the shops to find me a gift. You can find him in the shop district. He will accompany you. I must stay behind because I am in charge here. If you do not return tonight, I will seek you out and tear your limbs off. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Master," Gestalt responded, thinking over what to say if he ran into Lewis.
"Good," he whispered, bringing himself close to one of his doll's ears. "Now, be on your way." He released his grip of Gestalt and turned away. "Make your mission quick."
"Yes Master," Gestalt said, placing his hand to his breast as he bowed deeply.
Victor gasped as he caught the sight of familiar long silver hair. He stepped quickly to the rugged looking house. What am I supposed to say to her? Elizabeth? No! She said she won't respond to that name . . . Ace of Clubs? Yes . . . Ace of Clubs . . . run for your life? No . . . no, I miss her dearly. I must see her.
"Ace of Clubs?" Victor called. "Ace?"
"Hmm, interesting," Lewis said, cocking his head to the side, "But strange, dear Ten. I must say, though, if you are given the responsibilities of an Ace at the level of a Ten, then you must be a strong girl. If you were to murder the Ace of Hearts, I'll bet you would have his position."
The undertaker adjusted his position, his limp causing his body to lean to a side. "Tell me, dear Ten, do you know of a tea shop where I can purchase a tea set?"

(( I will listen when i get home serene, btw, sorry for ignoring victor for a bit XD)) Ace of clubs had not been able to hear her name being called, being momentarily out of it and not being able to respond to any names for the time being she just opened the door and stepped inside the house pushing the momentary uneasiness aside, unlike the gates the dark oak door had not made any noise and had opened easily, the inside of the house was not much better than the outside, it was dark and old, the pass of time had certainly not been kind to this place, the tick layer of dust on the floor and furniture together with the bugs and plants that seemed to have taken control of the house after it's decay where, however, the only sight of damage whatsoever, the place was still the same way you could have seen it back in the days when it could still be called a 'home' by someone, the furniture was not damaged but by the pass of time and the painting still hanged from the walls on the same spots they had always been, the only thing that looked out of place was a small pink journal at the center table, it lacked the coat of dust everything else around had. The small pink journal sat itself upon the dusty center table as the golden captions that chanted 'Read me' on the front cover seemed to glow in the darkness of the place, despite being barely midday the room was eerily dark, Ace of clubs took the journal on her hands and looked at it for a second before opening the journal to find a yellowed page with the traces of what would had been a doddle of two women holding hands 'sister and I' it read, the text made ace of clubs smile a little, she took a strand of her hair that had fallen upon her face and accommodated it behind her ear before turning the page again, the messy handwriting of a child met her eyes as she started to read. 'sister gave me this notebook today for my unbirthday, she says she is tired of me doodling in her books but i don't know why, I'm just making them pretty, they have too many words' A small chuckle escaped ace of clubs lips as she finished reading those lines, this certainly was a child's writing, she flipped the pages and found new drawings, they where no more than doodles done by color pencils but shortly she came across another entry. 'November 1st' Ace of club's heart skipped a beat, that was the day... no, but it couldn't be, she shocked her head and continued reading 'November 1st
Sister says she is leaving today, i don't want her to leave, i told this to father and he said not to worry because i would leave too when i turn 15 just like sister, i can't wait for that day' Ace of clubs closed the journal a little scared, this sounded too familiar and it was too much of a coincidence... had it not been on November the 1st at the age of 15 when she became a suit? November 1st.... a 15 years old, not it couldn't be, could it? Was this kid talking about her? ace of clubs reached for a chair and sat down not even caring to clean it before taking a sit, she was beginning to feel a little faint again but if this book was actually about her she needed to read it so she flipped the pages up to the point where she had stopped before, November 1st, read the next page but this time it was a different color of ink. 'I'm so glad! Sister came home this afternoon, she is acting strange but she is back so it will be fine
November 2
Sister doesn't look at me when i call her sister or Lizzie, not even Elizabeth, she only turns back when father calls her 10, I asked mom why but she doesn't know, i don't want to ask father, he seems mad for some reason, something about how now I'm his only hope to take over the Spades, i have no idea what he is talking bout but he scares me and makes me train everyday until i can't move no more, sister just looks at us from time to time from over her books but she says nothing, has sister stopped loving me?
January 18
Sister is starting to smile again, she even called me 'bug' today, she had not done so since she went to the castle for the first time, it made me sooooo happy, i can't wait until she calls me 'Charlotte' again
June 25Th
Elizabeth came home again, she had been gone for almost 2 years, mom was so happy she was crying, Elizabeth cried too but her tears where not happy, she has been locked on her old room ever since yesterday, she says she doesn't remember a thing but when i showed her the journal and she read the entries she started to cry again, i don't understand, father said he would take her back to the castle again tomorrow, i don't want him to take her away from me but this girl... she looks like Elizabeth but she acts nothing like her and she only turns back when you call her Five, I wish we could go back to the time we all lived together in this house, now it's only mom and I, Elizabeth and father spend most of their time at the castle, i have not even heard my name from anyone besides mom in a long while
Feb 20Th
Today was not my unbirthday yet father came home with a gift, he said it's a 'special doll' i don't see what it's so special about it, i would rater have my sister back than a stupid doll, but the doll is interesting, it moves and talks, I'll show it to Elizabeth when she comes around.
March 3rd
I taught the doll to smile but father came around and got mad at me, seems like he wanted me to break the doll for some reason, but it's okay since Elizabeth came around too, I showed her the doll and asked if she could cure the doll if i break it like father had told me, she said dolls don't feel so they can't be cured, i was sad but now i like the doll more, if she can't feel then she is similar to I.
July 30Th
I had to break the doll, father would have broken me if i didn't, still i cried, i didn't want to but i couldn't help it, Elizabeth saw me crying because i sneaked in to the castle to see if she could fix the doll the same way she fixes me when i break, but she says i and the doll are different, well, that might be true, the doll still made a pained face when i broke it but i can't do that, did Elizabeth lie about the doll not feeling? Elizabeth told me she would look for a book on how to fix dolls just to calm me down, I hope she doesn't forget.
August 1st
Father brought a boy over, mom says he is my cousin, he looks rather sad but i don't know why, no one would tell me, they says the boy will be staying here for a while and then they will take him to the castle, just like Elizabeth, i don't want to be friends with him if he is to go away as well, why can't Elizabeth come back instead? she come everytime less often and she only plays with the new boy, she let's him read some of her books, is it because he will be going to the castle and i won't? I want to go to the castle soon.' Ace of clubs made a sad smile, coincidence after coincidence, it was just too much to bear but the next page was the last one so she forced herself to read it 'November 1st' Ace of club's heart pounded madly on her chest, why? why did this sounded like a story she already knew? 'Today father will take me to where Elizabeth is, I'm not 15 yet but he said it was time, i am happy i will see my sister again they say i need to call her Ace of clubs though but it doesn't matters, I wonder if she will call me Charlotte, I'm so happy, I hope mom can come too' Ace of clubs allowed the journal slip trough her fingers and fall to the floor with a loud thud, what had happened? this story... this writing... it was about her but it couldn't be, she remembered nothing and yet she had a sister and a father, and a mother as well, even a cousin, but why was the house in such a state then? why...

Murder the Ace of Hearts?
The thought might have crossed Ten's mind a couple of times...but the Ace of Hearts was for the Jack of Diamonds' only..
But changing sides now, the thought completely dissolved into nothingness...
"The finest tea shop would be that one" she said, pointing to the Hatter's tea shop.
"There may be another one just two blocks from here too..." she said, pursing her lips, trying to recall tea shops.
