"Things haven't…been same…" Hatter said. "Since…Alice left…" His speech was poor...He could only stutter. It had been that way when it had been a year since Alice left.
"Oh Hatty, I don't see why you're still worried about that brat." The Cheshire Cat laughed darkly. "She never loved you…" He sharpened his claws on a nearby tree. Whispers filled the forest.
"She did…does…love Hatter…" he whispered "she…loves Hatty…" The Cheshire Cat put a now-sharpened claw to his lips. "Shhhhh. Here that?"
Whispers got louder and spread like wildfire throughout the forest "Alice is back…" "Alice is back…" the voices came again and again "She's back…" the Cat growled "To hurt Hatter…? …or rekindle a lost flame…?"
Hatter gasped "A-Alice back…?" He smiled "Have to find…quickly…she get hurt…" He darted away suddenly with the Cat behind him. "Alice is back…Alice is back" the whispers followed them making Hatty run all the quicker. He stopped by a nearby tree to catch his breath when suddenly he spotted her. She looked dazed and frightened. She was the same as always. 'Beautiful…' Hatter thought
"A-Alice!" he yelled running up to her. She looked at him without the slightest recognition on her face. "You…not remember…?" he sighed "Alice not…'member Hatter..?" Her face was puzzled but cleared up suddenly. "Hatter?" she exclaimed "Is it really you?" Her smile fake the Cat noticed. "I missed you Hatter!" she hugged him and he blushed.
"You…not lie…?" Hatter asked "No Hatty, I'd never lie to you!" Alice replied. Hatter looked grim. "Good. If Alice lie…Alice die…"
