A conversation between Alice & The Mad Hatter
Mad Hatter P.O.V
Prologue: 19th century
"I cannot stay her Hatta"
"But Alice-"
"But nothing Hatta. I'm married, I have children. I need to stop living in this fantasy and get back to reality" She cried.
My heart began to ache. I should have been the one she married and had kids by.
"Then why come back. Did you come to play with my heart before going back to being a proper lady?" I had not noticed how angry I grew.
"No, I came back to say goodbye for good." She slowly reached up to touch my face. I moved away from it so that we may have a clean break. Her blue eyes filled with tears. She nodded and took her leave. When she was completely out of my sight, I walked in the other direction.
From that day on, I watched her though the looking glass that she kept in her private room. I watching her play with her children she had often acted as something from wonderland. It seem that time had passed all but too quickly. Soon Alice's children were adults, and Alice was a grandmother. Her once golden hair was now a wedding white color, small wrinkles on her soft skin and she had shortened in height from her old age. She was still beautiful. Soon after my last visit to the glass, Alice became very ill with smallpox. She didn't come back to the room for three months. The next day a casket was place in the center of the room. One of the four men that carried it opened the top and there she was. I suddenly felt weak all over and fell to my knees. She was gone so far out of reach. A woman in all black with long black hair, and blue eyes… Alice's eyes stood in the room.
"Percilla, my dear, it's tradition that the youngest child gets all the estate. Therefore, after today it's yours. I'll be leaving after the service" said a man that must have been her father. She nodded. Alice was only there for a second and like a flash of light, she was gone. The mirror stopped showing overland from that day on.
