Dum nodded."indeed it does",he said and smiled seeing Dee already seated.And deep in thought.

Bell sqweaked and folllowed her."o-okay"

Athena sat next to her sister who pulled Dum into the other seat.

Viv dragged her to the dinning room "Let us eat." she sat down at the head of the table and gestured to the seat at her right "sit."

Bell smiled softly and sat to her right."thank you"

Dum smiled and sat next to her then looked to Dee.'where the Boss?"

Dee shurgged."hell be here soon enough"

Viv clapped her hands and servant brought out food.

As if he could hear them Blood appeared.

Dum smiled."hey boss!"

Bell's eyes widen at all the food."wow"

Blood just sat down as a faceless brought in the food.

Viv smiled "Please eat as you much as you want."

Bell looked to her and smiled brightly."thank you very much"

Dee and Dum looked to one another then back to Blood bfore they started eating.

The girls shrugged and began eating.

Viv ate with all the poise of a queen.

Bell ate nicelt, grinning,the food was great!

Dum smiled softly at Carla

"Do you like it?" Viv asked.

Clara smiled back.

Bell nodded.'its delishous"

Dee looked between his brother and Carla.'give me a break"

"What?" Clara asked frowning at Dee

"We are glad." Viv smiled.

"goo goo eyes at the dinner table",Dee said as he took a bite.

Bell smiled and then bi her lip."may i tell you something?",she asked softly,almost shyly

"Of course." Viv said with a smile

"We can make goo goo eyes wherever we want." Clara said sticking her tongue out at him.

Dee stuck his tounge back at her.

Bell took a breath."i ...like your brother"

"Well that odd." Viv blinked "We know that the girls like him but I don't imagine that's what you mean."

Bell blinked."no i mean...like...like him",she said and was blushing

"You love are brother?" Viv sighed "He is not the best person to love...not that he would not love you back but that being with him is dangerous. I have tried talking the girls into staying here know that the clock tower is gone they are in danger just by being near that group."

Bell blinked."whys that?".she asked worried.

"You don't know what my brother does do you?" Viv sighed "he kills people. The dormouse is one of his spies and helpers everyone fears Blood he even has a rival group that keeps trying to kill his men."

Bell frowned."but doesnt any one worry about him?",she asked sadly.She didnt care about him killing others, but she now was worried for his safety

"of course we worry but Elliott and the twins would never let anything happen to him. Though he does over do it some times." Viv said with a sigh "You must never tell that we care for him we are suppose to be rivals we can only see him in the garden any other place we have to act like we hate him. Besides his clock would just be fixed and a new hatter named."

Bell nodded."i would never tell...and his clock is broken?",she asked sofftly.

"No...his heart is a clock all are hearts are clocks. You can listen to mine if you want. Once we die are bodies disappear Julius collects the clocks and fix's them and a new person forms from the clock." Viv explained placing her hand over her clock.

Bell stared."wow...i see'
