A/N: Back again, right after I wrote my last Alice In Wonderland fic, I got another idea that was begging to be put down. This pairing is like my newest obsession..haha =). I am most likely going to turn this into a multi- chapter fiction, just because I have so many idea's.
As always I own nothing Alice In Wonderland related *pouts*.
R&R please…reviews make my day, I love knowing what you all think.
Eight years Alice has been gone. Eight years that Mirana has waited for her champion's return to Underland. Eight years of waiting and longing to hold the girl in her arms, and tell her what she hadn't had the courage to so long ago. The only thing worse than knowing how long Alice had been gone, was not knowing when she would return, and Mirana was still counting the days.
The White Queen walked through the pale halls of the Marmoreal palace, making her way to the throne room. Again she found herself staring at the empty scratched armor that stands there. Mirana ran her hand over the dents and scratches in the gleaming metal, her thoughts once again returning her to that fateful day.
"Will this take me home?" Alice asked looking at the vile of purple liquid she was holding.
"If that is what you wish." With only a momentary lapse of restraint, Mirana reached out with one hand to stroke Alice's cheek, the moment it happened she wish she hadn't done it. She wanted so bad to just ask her to stay, but it was not her choice. If Alice wished to return home Mirana wouldn't stop her, no matter how much she would miss the girl. Giving Alice a brief smile as if to try to hide her emotions the Queen forced herself to walk away, she would not say goodbye, she couldn't. She had hoped that Alice would return to Underland one day, and return to her.
Mirana let out a quiet sigh as she was brought back to reality. She turned away to sit in the chair next to her champions armor. She knew that there were other things she should be attending to, other things that needed her attention, but she couldn't find it in herself to be bothered by those things, she was too caught up in her thoughts. Not a moment later a very frantic white rabbit came running through the door.
"Majesty!" Mirana looked up to see Nivens McTwisp running towards her.
"What is it McTwisp?" Mirana stood and walked over to meet Nivens.
"Al- Ali- Alice! She has returned. " The rabbit stuttered in between panting breaths.
Mirana's eye's widened, mouth agape "Alice?" she whispered under her breath. "Where is she?" The Queen looked around the room as if trying to find the girl.
" She is being brought to Marmoreal as we speak Majesty, she is in a rather delicate condition."
"Delicate? McTwisp what happened?" Mirana cast her eyes to the floor, and then back to Nivens, concern evident in her voice.
"When she landed here in Underland, after falling down the hole." he paused to catch his breath for a moment before continuing. " she landed rather hard, she is unconscious right now majesty."
The moment Nivens said that Mirana's heart seemed to stop, her blood ran cold. The Queen was at her breaking point, but now was no time. Alice needed her, and she would not falter.
"Bring her to my chamber when she arrives, I will be in the kitchen making preparations."
With that Mirana hurried to the kitchen as fast as she could without her legs giving way underneath her. She felt weak in that moment, worried and afraid, but she knew Alice. She remembered how strong Alice had been for her, and in turn she knew she had to be strong for Alice.
Once in the kitchen Mirana realized she had no idea what was actually wrong with Alice. She only knew that she was unconscious. So she began throwing several things together. Making potions of different abilities and of different strengths intended to mend and heal Alice. Mirana would do anything and everything in her power to assure that Alice would be alright.
Once done in the kitchen the Queen grabbed some bandages and rushed up to her chamber, putting the various potions and bandages down on the bedside table. Mirana pulled a robe out of her wardrobe, and lay it on the bed. Just then a handful of guards came rushing through her chamber doors holding her champion.
"Lay her on the bed." The guards gently set Alice down on the bed, and Mirana went to her side.
"You can leave us now." she stated very firmly, wanting them to leave her to tend to Alice. The guards bowed, and filed out of the room silently.
Once the chamber door closed Mirana began to look over Alice. Surveying her injuries, Mirana found that Alice had a broken arm, ribs and a concussion, she also had a few cuts and bruises, and a gash from where she hit her head. It took all of her restraint to undress the girl without her touch lingering, but she could not help but notice that even in her battered condition Alice's skin was soft, and warm to the touch.
After giving Alice a few doses of different potions, wrapping her injuries, and dressing her in the robe Mirana let out a sigh "Oh Alice, I do hope you wake soon. I wished you would return, but not like this." Mirana kissed the girls' forehead, and sat down in the chair next to the bed, where Alice lay.
A/N: So, That was the beginning of my new AiW fiction. Took me quite a while to write it, and I'm not super happy with it, but I re-wrote it enough as it was, so I just decided to put it up. I'm sorry for any grammatical error's that I may have missed. I hope you all enjoy it. Reviews always make me happier =), so please R & R. Please tell me if you want to see this continue. No flaming please, but feel free to point out any mistakes, I'm always trying to be a better writer. If you guys like it the 2nd chapter will be up soon.
