A/N: This is my first fanfic for Syfy's Alice but not the first one I have written. I have written a fanfic for Charmed and I am co-writing one with YouMustUseTheForce for Newsies. I highly suggest that you check them out. Anyways, please R&R and enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own this show because if I did, Hatter would have ended up with me.
Chapter 1:
"Michael what are you doing here?" Hannah Hamilton whispered out her bedroom window.
"I came here to see you of course." A young man named Michael whispered back to her.
Hannah tossed her long light brown hair over her shoulder, "If my parents find you here at this time of night, they will kill you."
"Then why don't we go somewhere? Just climb out your window and we'll come back before they wake up. They'll never know you were gone."
Hannah stood there for a moment thinking about what Michael had said. Her parents were never that strict with her, but she had never snuck out before. She was also worried about what would happen if her parents caught him at their house that late at night. "Okay, let me get dressed first." Hannah closed her window and quickly threw on some jeans and a t-shirt. She quickly put her hair back in a ponytail and then climbed out her window using the trellis that was against the house.
Michael reached up and helped her down the last step or two, "You all set?"
"Yeah. Where are we going?"
He reached out and grabbed her hand, "I have a surprise for you."
…
"What are we doing here?" Hannah said looking up at the abandoned hotel. Her father was a construction worker so she was familiar with the building. He had said that the hotel had been abandoned during its construction but it was too close to other buildings to take it down.
"Well if I told you that then it wouldn't be a surprise." He started weaving his way into the abandoned building leaving Hannah on the side walk.
She looked around to see if anyone was looking. Her father always told her how dangerous it was to be in abandoned buildings but she figured that she was old enough to take care of herself. "You're right." She said quietly to the air. She silently followed Michael in.
Hannah followed Michael until he stopped abruptly. "What is that?" She asked looking over his shoulder. In front of them was something leaning up against the wall covered in a dusty sheet.
"This, this is the surprise." He walked over and yanked the sheet off revealing a beautiful mirror that was covered in jewels.
Hannah stood there shocked, "Wow, the Looking Glass" She said quietly.
"The Looking Glass" Michael said at the same time.
"How do you know about Wonderland?" The asked each other.
Michael stepped closer to Hannah, his eyes trying to read her face, "I'm from Wonderland. You know about it?"
"Of course I do." She said with slight concern, "My dad is…"
"From Wonderland." He said finishing her sentence. He looked at her shocked face. "I know a lot more about your family than you would think."
"But…"
"Your dad, David or also known as Hatter is a construction worker but he once owned a tea shop in Wonderland. Your mother, Alice is a martial arts instructor who accidently traveled to Wonderland once and upset the whole balance there." Michael smirked at Hannah, "And when your parents came back to this world, they tried to hide the mirror so that no one would abuse its power again."
Hannah slowly took in everything he had said. Of course her parents told her the truth about their past and how they met when she was older, but she couldn't remember ever telling that truth to anyone, not even her best friends. "If you knew my dad was from Wonderland, why didn't you say something sooner?"
"What and ruin the surprise?"
Hannah's face lightened up slightly, "You have another surprise?"
Michael chuckled, "Well actually it's one surprise. You're only a part of it.
"I don't understand." Hannah said shaking her head.
"The surprise is for your parents, and you my dear, are the bait" He said putting a cloth to her face. She struggled slightly in his arms, but the chloroform was too strong for her. He picked her up and zip tied her hands to a pipe nearby, "Just in case you wake up before I get back. I have to pay a visit to your parents."
…
Hatter had been having a dream about Wonderland again. It was one of the first one's he'd had since he first followed Alice through the looking glass. He had been reliving the time when he rescued Alice from Drs. Dee and Dum. He was about to catch her when he heard a loud crash that woke him up. He sat up bewildered, "What was that?" He looked over to see Alice looking back with the same bewildered look.
"Hannah's room!" Alice said startled.
Hatter jumped out of bed, instantly alert and ran to his daughters' room, followed closely by Alice. He opened the door and his eyes went instantly to her window. The curtains were blowing in the breeze and the floor was covered with broken glass. The rest of her room was disheveled with things turned over everywhere. "Hatter look!" Alice said carefully making her way to the window. There was a note on the window sill, stuck there with a knife. Hatter ripped it off the wall before Alice had a chance to read it.
Why are there crumbs in the butter? Follow down the rabbit hole once more to find out.
~MM.
He dropped it to the floor and looked out the window hoping that he could find some sign of them.
Alice picked up the note and read it, "Hatter, what does this mean?"
Hatter ignored her and continued looking out the window bawling his hands into fists.
Alice put her hand on Hatter's shoulder, breaking his thoughts, "Hatter, talk to me." He turned around and faced her. "What does this mean?"
He looked away and punched the wall with his right hand. He easily dented the wall in even though he hadn't really used his right hook in years. "It means I'm going back to Wonderland."
"What do you mean 'you'?"
"It's Mad March. He kidnapped her. And I have to go back to Wonderland in order to get her back." He headed back to their room and got dressed quickly and started packing a bag.
"How do you know it's Mad March?"
"I just know." He kissed the top of her head, "I'll be back with her soon."
Alice stormed into the room after him, "I'm going with you."
He stopped and looked over at her, "No, you're not."
"No?" Alice asked incredulously. "Why not?"
"I'm not going to risk your life too. It's too dangerous."
She went to her closet and pulled out some clothes, "Do you forget that I'm a black belt, that I teach martial arts? Hatter she is my daughter too, I'm going with you."
Hatter looked at his wife and sighed in defeat. He knew that there was no one more stubborn in the world than Alice and he also knew that nothing could get between a mother bear and her cub. "Fine. Looks like we're headed back to the looking glass."
