His Alice

Chapter 1: Tarrant's Pain

Tarrant sat in his workroom with a blank stare in his eyes. For the past 2 months he had been doing everything he could to keep from thinking about her. Now, he sat alone, his hands sore and cut up, with no more ideas. His thoughts began to wonder…

[Flashback]

Her golden hair was the first thing he noticed. The curly mess of hair that flowed so long down her back. True she was only 8 years old, and he surely wouldn't say he loved her, but there was something about her. She was unique, special. Somehow he knew at that moment, she was there for more then to just save his world, Underland. Because at that moment, he was happy for the first time in what seemed like forever. The day she came to Underland…

[End flashback]

Tarrant smiled as he recalled how she had called it "Wonderland" when she first arrived. His heart and happiness had died when she had left. Here it was 10 years later, and he had been so thrilled when the Oraculum foretold if her return. And even though she was not her proper size, the happiness had returned the few days that she had returned.

His love for her seemed more real now; it grew stronger every day she was with him. She had risked her life to free him from the bloody big-head. He watched her with love and deep concern when she fought, and slayed, the Jabberwocky. Indeed, when she stood before him about to leave for the second time, he held back the urge to hold her and kiss her. And he had watched her fade away. His heart died once again.

Tarrant let his tears fall. No one was around, so why should he care? He couldn't hold her in his arms, tell her how beautiful she is, or how much he loves her. He loves her more then life it's self, and now she's gone.

He'll never see her again. His sweetling. His heart. His world.

His Alice.
