The Revenge of the Queen

This story takes place 4 years after "Alice".

Chapter 1:

Alice was walking as quickly as she could without actually running. She was extremely anxious to get home to her husband, David. She marched her way up the two flights of stairs to their apartment, eagerly placed her key in the lock, and opened the door.

"David? David, are you home? We need to talk. I have some good news."

Alice had a huge grin on her face as she looked around her apartment, calling her husband's name.

"David? Well, that's weird. He was supposed to be here."

Alice jumped as she heard hollering in the alleyway below. She ran to the window to see two men in black suits dragging her husband between them.

"DAVID," Alice yelled, panicking, "Oh, my God!"

Alice quickly ran back down the stairs to catch up with the men.

"David, what is going on here?," she asked her husband.

David struggled to get away from the men, "Alice, I can honestly say that I don't have the slightest idea."

Alice noted the markings on the men's jackets. Each one had a black spade and a number on their lapels. These weren't just any men, these men were from Wonderland!

"Suits? But, what do they want with you," Alice said.

"I told you, I don't know."

"Excuse me, sir," Alice said to the men, "where are you taking my husband?"

"Your husband, ma'am, is under arrest," one of the suits said.

"Under arrest? For what?," Alice shouted.

"For crimes against the crown of Wonderland and for trying to escape the law."

"That's ridiculous," the Hatters shouted in unison.

"Who ordered this?," Alice said.

"The Queen of Hearts."

"The Queen of Hearts?," Alice said.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That's impossible," David said.

"I thought she herself was in prison," Alice said. "How can she be giving out arrest warrants? She doesn't have power anymore! There is no WAY that the king would approve this!"

"Listen, ma'am, we are just following orders and if you have any problem with it, you'll have to take it up with the proper authorities." The men kept their eyes straight ahead as they walked towards the Looking Glass.

"You bet I will! This is absurd!," Alice began screaming louder and louder.

"Alice, help me out here, please," David said.

"Don't worry, honey, I'll talk to Jack."

The men made it to the Looking Glass and jumped right in without even flinching. Alice stopped right in front of it.

Not again.

She held her breath as she stepped through the mirror.
