Underland Wonderland Origins: Hatter
((A/N: In my obsession on the upcoming Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, I have decided to do an origin on the DeppHatter, whose awesomeness is beyond words. Enjoy, and keep in mind that I only own this computer, and this story, but not the original characters or actual plot of the movie. When the movie comes out, we will know what really happened, but until then, this is reality for myself.))
He always hated that rabbit. The snitch that worked directly for the Red queen always turned in the innocents with dissenting opinions. It put a foul taste in his mouth. But still, what more could he do? It was only his job to take down the big threats to the crown, the anarchists and the revolutionaries.
"My queen." He spoke softly from the cool shades of the trees. "I have brought you his head, as requested." He rolled the round object into the light. It stopped at her feet.
"Very well." She examined it and then pulled a small bag out of her sleeve. "Your reward for this job. I shall have the white rabbit bring you information on your next one when it arises. Until then, GAURDS!" She clapped her hands twice, and a small fleet of red guards quickly cleaned the area the head had stopped in up.
"Thank you, my queen." He took the bag and vanished into the trees.
"Brother!" The lovely young woman greeted him with a hug and a smile. "Did it go well?"
"Yes, it went well indeed. We now have money for necessities this month. Can you go to the market tomorrow?"
"I can!" She was a younger, female version of him. Curly orange hair, bright green eyes, and deathly pale skin. "I still wish you would find more honest work, there can't be much honor in killing violent dissenters from the shadows."
"Dear sister, I have no experience in anything other than dealing death onto those whom go against our queen. Would you rather have to beg on the streets for your daily bread?"
"No, but still-"
"No buts. We have to do what we can to survive." He silenced her with a wave of his hand and they retreated into their humble home for evening tea.
There was a knock at the door a few days later. He opened it and saw a plain white envelope on the ground in front of him. He picked it up and read what was inside.
H-
Seems that some of the mice colonies are planning on leaving and creating a new nation. I want their leader's head. He goes by the name Night Whisker and is rumored to reside in the capital mouse city. Five thousand.
He Went inside, left a note for his still sleeping sister, grabbed his bow and arrows, and left.
