Author's Note: Hey so this is what I like to call a "Quantum Strange AU." Anything can happen. I will admit that Alice is the main character. I will be using any Disney story I feel I want to put in, although I did put this in the Alice in Wonderland category, because that's what it is based around. As always feel VERY FREE to nitpick my work! Nice even sized chapter to start! The point of views will vary but it will mainly be narrator and Alice's point of view. I will put a P.O.V. map at the end of each chapter though!

I would also like to point out that the first few chapters will be more of a backstory on her parents and the beginning of her life. Which will be pretty slow, but it will pick up I promise!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. All rights go to there respected owners. I just own the plot!

Please Enjoy!

The Prologue

Alice was a small girl who grew up in a scary castle. She lived in a dungeon with her father Zander, though everyone called him Hatter. The Red Queen was her mother. The woman Alice could have swore hated her and her father, but was always told different from her father.

The tale of how Alice came to be is a gruesome and beautiful one.

One night. Hatter was in his hat shop making a new top hat for Mr. Rabbit who lived down the road. He was sewing the last stitch in, when he heard the door slam open.

"Hatter, I am going to have a child and you shall be the father," The Red Queen declared, "I have chosen you because of your talent in art."

Hatter stood up and responded, "No, you must find another man to help make your successor."

"If you feel that way," she sighed,"I am very sorry in advanced Hatter, but I tried the easy way." After that she motioned to the guards to grab the refusing man.

Hatter was forcefully ripped away from his stool by the guards and violently shoved into the carriage. It had a red heart on the front of it that was burned into his memory forever. The next two weeks were hell for Hatter. He was raped, tortured, and beaten. He was on a thin line until one night he was taken by one of the guards to a dungeon and told that The Queen was pregnant. To his relief, he was also informed The Queen would no longer beat or torture him.

The Red Queen had no patience at all, so she called in a duchess from another kingdom that had magic. The duchess sped up the growth, shaving off an entire six months. The Queen wanted her child faster, but the duchess told her the baby would die if she sped it up anymore. The Red Queen decided it wasn't worth the risk and waited the three months.

During those three months Hatter was fed once a day, and left alone at all other times. Though he was quite lonely he enjoyed the quiet. After constant begging for six weeks he got a sketchbook and seven boxes of pencils. The Red Queen agreed he could have a new sketchbook and new pencils each month. She did this, because (though she would never tell anyone) she secretly loved Hatter in her own little sick way. She also would love her child but would not get the chance to show it. The rest of the three months were spent with Hatter designing cloths and hats in his sketchbook, and The Red Queen being extra kind and needy.

One night The Red Queen woke up screeching. The guards rushed in and she screamed at them, "My water broke you damn fools! Get the doctor and Hatter in here now!" The guards quickly rushed out getting the doctor first then running to the dungeon to get Hatter.

Hatter was abruptly woken up by the sounds of clanking armor. "Get up Hatter! The Queen is giving birth and would like you to be there with her," A guard stated forcefully.

He sprung up and followed the guards with no hesitation. They went up to The Red Queen's room. Hatter looked at The Red Queen and she looked back at him with tears in her eyes and pleaded in an almost inaudible whisper, "Hatter would you please come and hold my hand?"

The man had never seen her like this. He always saw the evil, greedy, power hungry bitch side of her she was known for, but as he walked up to her, he thought maybe just maybe she wasn't the bitch everyone thought of her as. Maybe she was a warm hearted woman who just wanted love, but had to wall that side of her off from everyone else.

Hatter was taken out of his thoughts when he heard a pained groan from the woman squeezing his hand. "Are you okay Miss?" Hatter chimed.

"Yes, my dear Hatter just birthing pains and thirst," The Red Queen spoke in a surprisingly calm voice.

Hatter looked at the guards and blurted "Get her some water now, please." The guards quickly got some water and handed it to Hatter. "Here you go My Lady," Hatter offered, "Shhh Just calm down and breathe."

"Hatter I must talk to you about something," The Red Queen began.

"Shhh, yes My Lady we have much to talk about," Hatter interrupted stroking her forehead and squeezing her hand for support, "but it must wait till our child is born and you have had proper rest."

The Red Queen leaned into his touch and smiled. Hatter was going to get to the bottom of this woman if it was the last thing he did. He didn't know how, when, or where, but he was going to.

The birth went smoothly. The Queen held their baby girl in her hands for a moment before turning to Hatter, and answering everyone's silent question, "You name her Hatter."

The man in question beamed, "Her name shall be Alice Isabelle Hatter." The Red Queen noded and gave the baby to Hatter signaling she wanted to rest.

"Meet me in the far east tower in four hours to have that talk," The Queen practically whispered, "till then you can roam freely. Please just don't leave the castle."

Hatter nodded. He walked out of the room after giving The Red Queen a kiss on the forehead. Then he proceeded to put Alice in her crib. After she was tucked in neatly, he took his sketchbook and walked up to the far east tower. He went in the only room that there was, and sketched until he heard the door open.

"So, you want to know about me?" The Queen wondered aloud. Hatter nodded, smiled and watched The Queen take a seat in front of him and clear her throat. "Well I'll tell you then."

Author's Note: This entire thing ended up being a Narrator pov, but what you gonna do? The next chapter will be mostly in The Red Queen's prospective and will be almost all about her if not entirely about her. Things should pick up in chapter 3 hopefully. Let me know if you think I should just make this the prologue.

Anyway it would be nice to hear your feedback on how I did! I would love if you could drop a favorite, follow, or/and a review.

Till Next Time My Little Cluster Of Spiders.
