Alice in the Country of Hearts, Vol. 1 by QuinRose

There are three others: Heart Castle, ruled by the Queen of Hearts the Amusement Park, managed by a man named Gowland and the Hatter's territory, under the control of Blood Dupre. The Clock Tower Plaza is the only neutral territory here. But apparently in order to do so she must play their game, whatever that may be, and abide by their rules. Of course, Alice wants to leave this place and go home. And the gorgeous guy in the top hat is Blood Dupre, the Hatter whose territory she was just in. The second rabbit and the brothers are Elliott March and the twins. The owner tries to shoo her off, but once he discovers that she has drunk the medicine, he realizes that she cannot leave, so he might as well explain who and what is going on. And suddenly he's aiming his weapon at her as well! What is it with this place, anyway? Then once again she is saved by a gorgeous guy, and a fed up Alice runs out on them all.

Escaping from one loony she runs into identical brothers who are gatekeepers, and who threaten to kill her! Luckily another young man happens by to save her. Game? That echoes eerily with a dream Alice was happening before this all occurred. The rabbit, er, guy, who claims that he loves Alice, tricks her both into kissing him and into drinking a potion, knowing that once she has done so, she cannot leave, she is stuck in the game and must play it. The next thing she knows a large white rabbit wearing clothes is yelling at her that she should be chasing him! When she doesn't, he grabs her and makes off for a new chasm in the yard which she swears was not there before, and flings them both into its depths! Althought first the rabbit changes into a cute guy with rabbit ears! Curiouser and curiouser!Īnd so begins the re-told twisted version of the classic adventure story of Alice in Wonderland, Alice in the Country of Hearts. While waiting for her sister to retrieve a deck of cards for a game which Alice isn't all that enthused about playing, she falls asleep. Maybe there is someone in particular that Alice is afraid is in love with her sister?
