 She had agreed to marry him! Blood Dupre was simply over the moon at this, Dice Eliza Quinn, love of his life, light of his existence; Key to his heart was going to be his bride. By this time he would simply ask who Carmine was, the pain which she had caused him had been covered up by the vast happiness which was his engagement. Oh how he loved her name, how he loved life! He felt like he was flying and nothing simply nothing could bring him down! How much of a fool he was. A LOVE STUCK FOOL AT THAT!
He had never told Dice that he had proposed to one before her. He was just so hurt that the lovely Miss Quinn had left him, he needed something to fill the void and Carmine was very beautiful and very spirited. She stole his heart... and she stole from him. It left his already fragile heart in pieces however it was now healed by his dark angel! It had been a fight, that damn cat was a worthy rival even though Blood would never admit it. However he as always was the victor and his prize was eternal happiness with his beloved wife.
The hatter smirked and leaned down, grabbing in his mouth a huge bunch of flowers for his beloved. He wanted to make her happy; she was his Queen, his everything. He would give her the world if he could... Soon that would be his too! World domination! Oh, how she would make a lovely Queen. He was so happy. Everything was finally coming together how is should. The twitterpated male skipped through the fields with a spring in his step before his mate came into view.
He fluttered around her like a school girl before he bowed his head and leaned over to give her the flowers, his eyes twinking in admiration. Yes... he had been like this since she agreed to his proposal. Some of the herd thought he might be on drugs but he was on something stronger.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE SO MUCH LOVE AND HAPPIINESS AND RAINBOW AND LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

It was like a clock. Yes a clock, just like his heart. She was stood there, thinking of whether to skip ahead or to wait till he came fluttering by her once more. It was an amazing sensation and never before had he been so, happy, smiles always on his face, eyes lit up with a true sparkle. Just looking at him made her tummy flutter with admiration and a warmth she couldn't cool down. To have once seen the hurt in his eyes, to also be the healer of it was, a feeling of redemption. She took a few careful steps forward, counting in her head. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1 - Right on que! Here he came whizzing around her like a puppy wanting a treat, a wide smile set out on her lips, chuckling at his actions and blushing madly.
Were they flowers in his mouth? Her faint shade of pink soon became a much more vibrant shade of red as she lowered and picked the boutique from his lips, hers gently brushing by the side of his as she did. It was, magical. "Awww thank you, dear." She chuckled, her voice muffled by the new, beautiful present. He always had to go out of his way and she never complained! She loved the attention and she would never deny that. He showered her in a love she had thought had been lost for a long time and presents any woman would dream to have however... The material things had never mattered to her. All she had cared about was Blood and being able to be around him, to see the true, kindness that was behind his dark, cold exterior others could only see. Most of all, the fact that she wasn't just a 'game' to him and he had proven it was enough for her to be forever happy.
Almost all thoughts of her close friends out burst had been driven from her mind with all the fuss and commotion of her agreeing to marry him. She nuzzled his cheek carefully, ears falling back, still like a bright tomato and it didn't help since her coat was so dark! "These really are, gorgeous Blood. You know just how to charm a lady, don't you?" She teased, playfully.

 Black wings were spread wide as their owner rode gracefully over the wind currents. Her wings pumped up at down every now and then when the current would shift or die down though the action was something she hardly needed to think about. She'd been flying for so long that everything was like second nature to her now. It came to her almost as easily as...well...thieving did.
Thinking of her profession brought a wide grin to her face. There was nothing that brought her more joy in the world then a well pulled off heist and a new trinket to show for it. Sure, it had brought her a fair share of headaches and troubles. Her latest troubles came to mind, Wolf and her bird Raven. They were such pains even if they were useful. Thinking of the strange pair brought up another memory that caused her eyes to narrow and darken. The worst trouble had probably come from a certain stallion that had kidnapped her. She scowled, it was the worst heist she'd ever done even if she had come out of it well on top. She sighed, rolled her eyes and, in an effort to clear her mind, banked so sharply that it almost felt like she was out of control.
That was when she saw him. Her eyes widened to the size of saucers as she stared down at the ground bellow. There he was, just the same as he had been when she left, wearing that same stupid hat. She scowled not even noticing the mare he was with. She was planning on just turning away and flying somewhere far far away. However...a wicked glint lit her eyes as she tilted downward in a sharp dive. Where would the fun be in not dropping in? He wouldn't even see her where she was at. No one really had eyes on the back of their heads.
Her eyes locked onto the giant hat sitting atop his head and, like a hawk snatching at a rabbit, she lowered a hind leg fully intending to knock the dumb thing right off of his head.

(( Sorry for the shortness, need to go now but did not want to leave you two hanging XD will reply as soon as possible! ))
Blood looked at his lovely with obsessed eyes. He smiled and nodded his head nuzzling her cheek. ”Well not to brag or anything.” He began raising his eyebrows in a suggestive manor before his hat got kicked off his head. He at first thought it was the wind however soon enough the true culprit came into view and he felt all the blood drain from him until he was as pale as a coprse. NO! NO NOT NOW! He froze the crimson mare clear in view. What was he doing to do!?! Damn it Elliott where ever you where he was blaming you! The poor rabbit, every time something did not go to Blood’s plan the bunny boy always got the brunt of his anger. Although the emotion he was feeling at the moment was far from anger, it was fear.
Blood! Calm down, calm down. He told himself shaking his head slightly. This did not have to be the end of the world, opening of the gates of hell he was expecting. It could be something that ended quite peacefully... with some haste on his behalf. He spun around to look Dice in the eyes trying to shield the other female from her vision. ”Love of my life, sweetest of dreams, bringer of happiness come on let’s go home I have a surprise for you that can not wait!” He said, his voice rushing by so quickly that most of his squeaky words could not come out as anything even slightly understandable.
He peered back over his shoulder and squirmed, he felt himself dying on the inside slightly, oh yes... this was not going to go down well he just knew it. Cliff edge here he came! CRUEL CRUEL WORLD! He was so stressed he was even willing to leave the hat behind. Now THAT was not like Blood.

He was bursting at the seems, then all of a sudden his attitude just fell and he become silent. Dice watched him closely, her eyes studying him seeing the hat fly from his head and a hoof just out of the corner of her eye whilst her main focus was on him and his shocked expression. Looking like he had just been winded or booted in the face. Her attention was about to take to what she just thought she had seen, which was another soquili kicking his hat off when he was once again in her face, calling her all these cute pet names and trying to grab her attention. She knew his over eagerness too well but, this was different.
She felt her more curious, devious side coming in to order as she gave him an incomplete smile, placing the flowers to one side as she stepped to one side and peered under his neck, raising an eyebrow of her own. "Blood, what are you even babbling about? Y-your hat, here I'll get it before it blows away." She gave a light laugh, trying to budge and creep past him when she noticed a mare and she paused, throwing her head up, causing her to knock his chin and her eyes to widen. "AH! I'm so sorry!" She squeaked, jumping back a few steps. Now she could see, the charming stallion, with the blue bangs whisking about his face and another, beautiful mare with a mixture of colors dawning across her coat and long silky pink locks of hair.
Was this what he was trying to block her from? She wondered. "Blood, who is that? She just knocked off your hat?" She tilted her head, of course being Dice, she would just act dumb for the time being. She gave another half hearted laugh. "You haven't been running around giving people a reason to pin vendetta's on you, have you?" Even though, her face had more of an amused expression upon it it also held a butt load of concern as she skipped around him and took the hat in her mouth, eying the mare carefully.

All she could think when the hat went flying was "score!" There was just something outrageously satisfying about knocking that damn thing off. She soared past him easily enough before turning easily to prepare for landing. It was then that she finally noticed the other mare. She was being crowded by the, now hatless, Hatter. And showered with affectionate names to boot. Carmine pulled a face and just watched for a moment not sure whether to be amused, disgusted or weirded out. All three just seemed to fit the situation so nicely she simply couldn't pick one.
When the gray one finally noticed her all she was able to pick. Amused. She was definitely amused. She'd just clocked him on the chin. That was the last thing she'd been expecting to happen and it was awesome. "You should totally do that again!" She called out deciding it was about time she marched herself over and joined the pair. She could introduce herself while she was at it since it was pretty clear that Blood was yet to mention her to the other mare.
"Isn't she just cute as a button?" She asked casually beaming at the other mare. As cruel and twisted as it was she was having fun with this. "You didn't happen to kidnap this one too didja?" It wouldn't have really surprised her if it was the case even though she actually seemed to like him. Maybe she'd gone to him willingly. That...or she was some crazy girl that actually enjoyed being kidnapped.

Spirals came to his eyes as he was hit yet again, this time by Dice. This just set the mood for the entire meeting did it not. He was already being beaten. Blood watched on as the two mares interacted this was it, his life was ending and he could see it happening. He wished he had told her but he saw no reason why he should have; I mean he never expected to see the crimson mare again in one million years. Why was this happening to him? What had he ever done... well. He still did not deserve this! His blue eyes looked between the two and he was still trying to think about ways he could get around this.
”T-this is Carmine, she’s a thief. This is Dice, great now we all know each other we can be on our way, thank you for catching my hat darling now come on we really have to go now before your surprise gets cold.” He twittered on, even he did not really understand what he was twittering on about at the moment and still his lips kept flapping like some out of control ramble monster. He glared back at Carmine when she mentioned kidnapping, wondering if he had a grunt on hand to take care of the pesky mare. He was not going to let her take away two engagements on the trot and he was still so made with her for stealing his treasure and his heart. Damn mare. He gave a gentle smile at Dice and nudged her side. ”Haha no, no nothing like that. No Kidnapping just swept her off her feet I did. Where getting married because I love her more than anything.” He smirked nervously. Sucking up to Dice as much as he could for now.
He could feel his heart sinking and he knew well that damn mare was not going to rest until she had caused him grief. With every breathe she took he could feel her coming closer to ruining his secrete. How as Dice going to react? He could not lose her, not again.

Dice looked between the two questionably, her eyes just saw two mad soquili wittering on and especially Blood, what in the heck was he going on about? She raised an eyebrow in suspicion as he gave her a smile, he was obviously nervous about this meeting and she, down at the bottom of her gut wanted to know why and get to the bottom of it. There was no way in hell he was getting out of it that easy and she refused to go with him. Things had been chain linked and this was another kink that needed sorting out.
She gave a snort, looking back to the mare. "Kidnapped?" That didn't sound, pleasant and a thief? Maybe someone to do his bidding but there was more to it, there had to be. "Wait a minute." Her attention slowly turned back to the ivory love of her life. Face falling a bit as she tossed the hat up and placed it back on his head, lop sided. "What does she mean by... Kidnapped?" She asked, softly. Lowering her eyes. Whatever news was revealing itself, it couldn't be good. She shook her head, the mare was making more sense and she sighed, trying to make sense of the matter, looking back up to his eyes.
"Now, is someone going to tell me exactly what is going on here?"

Dice. So that was her name. Carmine looked the other mare over a little more closely. It wasn't particularly difficult to see why she was liked. The thief's early assessment was completely correct. She was cute. Very cute. One of those charmingly adorable girls that got their pick of the litter. What that told Carmine was that there was a good chance that all the cuteness had lead to a deficiency of brains...but maybe that was just jealousy talking? It seemed to Carmine that a sweet face was far more effective for playing innocent than a pretty one which really could have come in useful in her line of work.
"So...you tripped her...and then you proposed?" Carmine raised an eyebrow well aware that that wasn't what he was saying at all. It was just that if she was going to screw with him she was going to do a damn good job with it. "Well isn't that just terribly romantic! I bet next year that's how all the guys will be doing it~" She smirked. It was all so deliciously fun because clearly robbing him hadn't been enough of an insult to him to satisfy her.
Her smirk widened into an excited, mocking grin as Dice asked for an explanation. "Oh! Oh!" She exclaimed bouncing up and down like a foal seeing it's first snow. "Oh! Can I tell her Bloooood~ Oh pretty please with a cheery on top~!" Mocking and tormenting were so fun they should have been sports. She could have a new career then.

Blood looked between the two women; they both seemed to be turning to him for the answers. He knew that one way or another his secret was going to be revealed be it by him or by Carmine he just wondered who Dice would want to hear it from more, did it even matter she was going to hate him when she found out anyway. However something deep down told him that he should be the one even though he did not want to. He did not want to lose her again. She left without a reason last time so giving her a reason to just felt like relationship suicide.
“Dice, this is Carmine she- she is an ex-girlfriend of mine, if you can call it that. She never loved me and in the end stole and then ran without a reason, its just you where gone and... I- I am sorry.” She stated in a quiet and slow voice all the hyperactive optimism it used to have simply drained. Funny he got dumped both times in pretty much the same way. Even though admittedly Carmine left with a little more weight put on by her filled pockets. He looked at the floor, his hat covering his eyes casting a shadow on his face. The s**t had hit the fan and now he was just waiting for the reaction.
He was so dead. Not only from what Dice was probably going to do to him but also from the thought of everything he had thought so hard for going down the can.

If only she knew what to say to either of them. She went silent, deadly silent only letting out an 'oh' under her breath, letting her unsettled gaze fall over the apparent, enthusiastic ex-girlfriend of his that just wanted to stir things up. There was so many things to say and not enough to fit in to a sentence, or even a few, that there was nothing really to say. She was, angry and kind of jealous. The fact he had managed to move on and she had tried to, but in the end pushed every guy on her travels further away because, no matter what she knew Blood was still in her mind and heart. They had searched and she couldn't blame them but she wanted to. Oh boy, did she want to.
"Heh." She laughed nervously. "Well, I wasn't expecting that but nonetheless, she is pretty." Her heart fell with those words, stood there with a blank, untwisted expression. She should of blown up but she couldn't bring herself to. She was just... Numb. Feeling empty because in the end it was her fault. The game just filled her mind some more in the silence. If everything had been true, if Boris was right after everything and even he, had betrayed her in some deformed way and not only her but that poor mare.
"How many secrets am I gonna stumble in to a long the way?" She asked. "How many lies am I gonna have to bare?" She looked between the two stepping back a few, long drawn out steps to see them both better even though, this woman was just a trouble maker and here to cause them hassle. Everything was good until now! She didn't have to know and it just, brought a whole load of unneeded thoughts to her head. Like... He couldn't have? Right. She wasn't ready for details, the vagueness kicked her in the stomach enough.
She frowned. "Anything else either of you have a desperate need to tell me?"

And there it was. Everything was out in the open...well most everything. He'd skipped several details that Carmine considered fairly important. Like the kidnapping. He hadn't even had the guts to take her to his little hidey hole himself. That, however, she figured had already been touched on. And hey, he'd actually manned up and said it all by himself. Go figure. She'd been so sure that she'd be the one that got to.
However, judging by the girl's reaction, it was probably a good thing that Carmine didn't.
The grin didn't completely leave her face even though it did lessen. Her intent had been to mess around with Blood. She hadn't gotten the impression that the girl would take news of an ex-girlfriend so tough. Actually she'd been pretty certain that flight would be in order to escape the wrath of the jealous. Instead she found herself sitting on an empty compliment watching a girl with a bigger flare for the dramatic than even she had.
When the girl posed her final question Carmine let out a low whistle. She considered biting her tongue. Nothing she said would ever make anything better. However, when there was smoke, why not rekindle the fire? "I do actually have something very important to say." She said with a suddenly serious face. She straightened up and shook out her mane send ripples down the pink strands. She took a few steps forward and cleared her throat before opening her mouth to say what was just dying to be said. "The hat...is compensation." Honestly she hadn't the foggiest idea if it was or not but it was insanely fun to say.

Oh how he thought Carmine was going to land him in it, she could have told her about the proposal and even the kidnapping however for some odd reason the mare did not, not that he was not thankful for the time being he was just worried about when she was going to drop the bomb. He felt bad, deep down he did especially when Dice was asking him such things. Of cause he had his secretes but some things where best kept that way where they not? He thought swallowing a lump in his throat.
“No, no there is more, however I do not think you will want to hear it. I want to protect you Dice; the past is the past after all. I do not want to lie to you but are answers worth sacrificing what we have?” He asked flicking his hat up so his blue eyes could be seen in great contrast against the shadow which had come down his face. He had never questioned her, he did not care what she had done with the cat and even though he showed a dislike to the creature never made her feel bad about her choices and he was hoping that she would not do that to him.
His glare then went to the other mare. “Have you not done enough? You have already taken too much from me Carmine, leave now or next time you won’t wake up.” He threatened her, last time he told his goons just to knock her out and at the moment he would not hesitate telling them to kill her, there was no love lost – not when it came to Dice. She has humiliated him and even though he did not like it he could live with it. If he ruined this for him he would make it his mission in life to rip her pretty face to pieces.

Even through all the mess and the drama, at Carmine's last words Dice let out a small chuckle until Blood's voice became deadly serious, snapping her complete attention over at him, narrowing her brows further until they tied with more concern. He was right, she felt sorry for him and even so, she had done bad too but, she just couldn't let it go! She pouted, looking away from him, mumbling words a long the lines of.
"Maybe your right but that doesn't change the overall outcome of the stallions of heartland." It was all quiet, of course ad it had her thinking of Elliot. The one guy she would run to and he would always be an ear but he would never keep a secret from Blood and probably told him everything she said, he had to. Wait - did that mean he knew this whole time, too!? She gave a huff and glared over at the mare. That's it, she had, had enough. Sure, complicated situation but it had to come to and end, she had a lot of thinking to do.
She pressed a hoof forward and stamped it in to the ground. Eying Carmine. "Yeah, your deed is done now, just buzz off like the pest you're and tell all this to someone who gives a damn. I'm sure a treasure seeking, puppet like yourself have other relationships to crumble to dust." She growled lowly.
"Here, I will not allow you to do such a thing. I don't need someone coming and ruining something beautiful I have tried and tried countless times for, telling me that you didn't even have to work that hard to come and jump in to his life."
She was winding herself up now. Not intentionally but it was working. She shook her bangs, irritation crawling through her skin. Oh, she was blind with fury now the realization had hit. "That's right, you didn't even have to try..." Well, it was all common sense, she was the rebound girl. No rebound had to try, it was all self inflicted. She shot a look at Blood and flicked her tail behind her, closing her eyes and taking in a deep breath, standing there. Eyebrow twitching.

Well, she'd been trying to annoy him and clearly that had done the trick. Whether it was the insult itself or the implication it held that had done was likely to remain a secret. That suited Carmine fine. She was satisfied in just knowing that she'd ruffled him enough to break out the death threats. With that satisfaction she was ready to leave, it was pretty clear she was no longer wanted around. She spread her ebony wings preparing for take off when something stopped her.
Miss Dice.
She eyed her with a frown and skeptical eyes. "Ya know...you're cute...but you need to chill a bit." She wasn't sure why anyone would like her. She was way too uptight for her own good. "I'm goin' but if ya think I ruined somethin beautiful ya need t'take a look around sweetheart. Cause you're right, I didn't have t'try. I didn't do anythin but show up." It wasn't entirely true. The thief was well aware that she'd forced Blood to bring up the past but if that was enough to break the girl down Carmine got the feeling she was in for a rough life.
"Now, I'm outta here." With no further delays she beat her great wings hard and fast until she was able to lift herself off the ground with a single leap. She circled the area a few times as she continued her ascent. "I'll catch you kids later...or, ya know, not." Really she was hoping to never see the two again. What a headache. Tormenting was only fun for so long after all.
