Okay this is my first story for Alice in Wonderland and is really the first story I've posted on fanfic, so please be gentle in your reviews. Don't criticize too much!


Stayne POV

As I was being towed away with Iracebeth to banishment. I noticed a woman standing in the shadows near the back of the battlefield dressed in pure black. "It can't be…" I said.

It can't be Callie. She, she killed herself according to the hatter. Didn't he?

I was walking the hatter back to his cell after working on the queen's new hats when he spat, "Not only did you betray us Stayne, but you killed her. You killed Callista. Not only did you betray us you killed the woman you love."

I then punched him in the face before locking him in his cell where he collapsed in a bloody heap.

If I killed her then who was that woman?


*Months pass*


Callista POV

"You called for me your majesty?" I asked when walking into the throne room.

"Yes, Callista, as you know trouble has been stirring up near Durmtean. I've looked at the Orraculum and it shows my sister and I united against another woman and a younger man," Mirana said.

"NO, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND YOUR MAJESTY WE CAN'T TRUST EITHER OF THEM!" I roared from my spot.

"Who can't we trust," Alice asked as she walked into the room with Tarrant.

"Iracebeth and Ilosovic," McTwisp told her.

"He already betrayed us once, what makes you think he won't do it again? And your sister has tried multiple times to steal the crown from you, and if you don't remember you just got it back a few months ago!" I yelled.

"Callista you are my knave and I order you to go to the outlands and bring them back. Now!" Mirana said before I curtsied and left the room.

I walked to my chamber where I grabbed a bag filled with supplies I would need. I then changed my clothes to something more appropriate for riding, attached my dagger and holster to my left forearm, and strapped my bow and arrows to my back.

I walked to the stables where I mounted my white horse Adrian, and started on our long journey to the outlands where I would unfortunately have to bring back the man who broke my heart and the woman who stole him from me.

About halfway through the journey night fell and I decided to tie Adrian to a tree while I grabbed a blanket from my bag and laid down near him.

Tarrant was showing me around the castle when he was called to the throne room. "Come with me, the queen will probably like to meet you since you'll be serving as a bodyguard for her," Tarrant said.

We walked into the throne room which was basically all white and there stood the queen dressed in all white with her long white hair, brown eyes, and black makeup. Next to her stood a man about my age with raven colored shoulder length hair, black eyes, who was about 6'3. He was absolutely perfect.

"Your majesty this Callista Remus, the newest addition to your guard," Tarrant said while the two of us were walking towards the queen and that man.

"Nice to meet you Callista, I am the White Queen, Mirana, and this is Ilosovic Stayne my knave and head of the guard you will be working with him," Mirana said.

"Pleasure to meet you my dear," Ilosovic said while kissing my hand, "Tarrant I'll finish giving her the tour, so you can stay here and talk to Mirana." He then led me out of the room and continued on the tour until we reached my chambers.

I was just pulled out of my dream of when I first met Ilosovic when I suddenly had a vision of him, "Callie you're probably mad at me and hate me, but if you're still alive and you receive this please come save me. Something bad is coming I can feel it so can Iracebeth. She doesn't matter to me, she never did, and I still love you. Please come save me."

It was morning a few hours after first light, so I ate an apple from my bag, and got back on Adrian continuing on our journey to the outlands.

By midday I had reached the outlands. I then saw Stayne and Iracebeth arguing, "IRACEBETH IF YOU EVER WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE, THEN WE HAVE TO JOIN FORCES WITH YOUR SISTER!"

"I DON'T CARE! I WILL NEVER SIDE WITH HER! SHE STOLE MY CROWN!"

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," I said making my presence known.


That's the end of the chapter, I hate to leave it at a cliff hanger, but I figure that this is good of a place to end it as any. Please review. I'm ok with criticism but don't go overboard about my spelling. I'm not a great speller. I'm open to plot ideas.
