Hunting the shadows and dreaming to go to the real world

The portal to the human world had re opened, yet she still couldn't face going there alone, how long had it been since she disappeared from there and died here, what would they do when they see her? Instead she sat under a tree and revised her training on hunting the shadows. They are what caused her death due to the cures of Alice. Maybe if she said that Alice was just a stage name and her real name was Natsu they may not have killed her when she looked back and wandered about home.

Now Natsu is a shadow hunter, she met the new Alice and does not wish for the cheerful girl to meet the same fate, also it we her revenge.

joker was follow pierce around. he smirks as he annoys him.
pierce covers his head "leave me alone I just want to sleep!"

A voice from the background wok her up from her day dream or reflection of live. Standing up she was the Joker and Prierce, one annoying the other. Standing up she dusted of the dirt and grass off Clocks long navy blue jacket, even though she has been here long enough to but her own coat, she still liked borrowing his (mainly because she forced him to buy it years ago).

joker blinks and smirks, he grabs pierce and drags him over to her "hello how are you?"

"Good thank you, and the two of you?" She replied and asked. She still didn't trust the joker, but she knew she was immune to his tricks, maybe it was because part of her was still Alice or because she was brought back to life."don't tell me you've moved on from Alice and on to him now?" She said looking at Pierce who looked like he would love it if the joker just vanished into thin air. She wouldn't mind it to, but the man was not her enemy, therefor she should not wish ill fortune on him.

joker laughs "no its just fun to annoy him.. hes so easy.."
pierce sighs and covers his face.

She looked up at him it an expressionless face, "Does it really make you feel strong to pry on the week," She looked at Pierce, "or those with a heart of gold who even if you trick the mare willing to help you?" She asked looking back at him while folding her arms.

joker laughs "nope I just like bugging people..."
pierce tries to crawl away.

Natsu rolled her eyes"Leave the poor creature be. I can't wait for one of your victims start bugging you." Her lips started to curve upwards, "Oh wait, I forgot there is one. Your brother, he doesn't put up with your silly games." She smiled innocently.

Joker chuckles and smirks. He disappears leaving pierce there.

She looked down at the poor creature, "Your free from him now." She smiled, "I guess your tired since you are normally asleep at this time and cant if Joker is annoying you." She looked back at the tree, "There's a hole among all of it's roots that you should be able to fit through and sleep in. I don't Joker would look for you there." Natsu suggested.

Pierce smiles at her and blushes "thank you..but I'll be fine" he yawns loudly and rubs his eyes "your really nice.."

"I can be mean too." She stated, "I just don't like or trust that guy." She explained, Joker that is, I just wish he would just disappear and not turn up again." She looked at Pierce "Have you meet the new Alice?" She asked changing the subject.

Pierce blinks and blushes "uh I don't think Alice would want to meet me.."

"Why she is nicer then me. Trust me. She want to please everyone and make them happy. I see no reason for not wanting to meet you."She smiled, "She doesn't spend all her time with Leo on Boris, so i'f it the Cheshire cats that scare you, you don't have to worry about them."

Pierce blinks "cats?!" He shivers and covers his face.

Natsu could help but laugh"Well the Cheshire cats did find the current Alice, but they are not that bad. both of them are protective, Leo can be a bit of a flirt, while Boris just has an unhealthy love for rabbits." She said hoping that the brothers would not hear how she had described them.

Pierce blinks and chuckles lightly "they do sound nice.."

"I still can't believe you haven't met Alice yet, she has been here for a while. Do you want to go and find her?" She asked as she moved part of her orange fringe behind her ear.

Pierce looks away "I don't know.. Am nervous.."

Natsu looked up for bit, "I have to ask the cats something, they are most likely with Alice, if your not to sleep you can stick with me, that way Joker wont bother you." She suggested.

Pierce smiles and yawns "I guess I could stick with you.."

"Great, I'm not sure where to find Alice, unless i call one of the cats, but still I'd rather do in the normal way." She said as she looked at the path back to the main town.

Pierce smiles "alright.."

Natsu walked along the main path, it wasn't long till they entered the town. She looked around the busy town square "Now we just have to find where she is. normally I would guess it is around large groups of people, but that could be anywhere with how busy things are now."
