Alice P.O.V
Dear Hattah,
I am very sorry for having to leave Underland. But I have unfinished business that my father had. I feel like I am to pursue his goals that he didn't get to finish. I will return to Underland, I just need some time to tie up loose ends. I haven't forgotten who (course I haven't or I wouldn't be writing this would i?) I just hope that this letter makes it down the Rabbit Hole and into your hands.
All my love,
Alice
P.S why is a raven like a writing desk?
After I wrote the words, I sealed them in an envelope I found in the draw in Lord Ascot's room. I then stood up, stretching out my limbs from sitting down to long; writing a letter and planning the trip for China. Once I felt not stiff anymore, I went outside towards where I remembered seeing a white rabbit go down the hole a few weeks ago.
To tell the truth, I didn't remember very much about Underland. I just remembered the Hattah and that I had to leave there to answer Hamish and finish unfinished business, everything else was a blur of bright colours. But I held on to the Hattah's memory.
Once I reached the rabbit hole, I knelt next to it and vaguely remembering a certain white rabbit going down it. I had followed him, and when I got here, I fell down the hole. The fall was terrifying but it was over quickly. After the fall, I didn't remember very much. Just something foggy about a room that takes you to Underland.
I took the letter from my dress pocket and kissed the sealing. I then sent it down the Rabbit Hole.
Please make it to Hattah. I thought while I saw it disappear.
"Alice? Is that you?" I heard my mother say from her room as I tiptoed back, I hadn't want anyone to know I had been missing for a brief moment. Everyone was so concerned for me now, ever since the party.
"Yes it is mother"
"Could you please come here?" I heard her faint voice. She had been worried the most. She was now bed-ridden from fainting earlier when she found out I went for a walk outside, I didn't come back for about an hour, she thought I was missing again.
I walked slowly to her room, already knowing what she was going to ask; where I had been and why.
"Where were you? I heard from the maid that she went in to check on you, and you were gone from your working desk." She started speaking before I even got to the door.
"I felt a little light headed from being cooped up so long, so I went for a little walk outside." I lied easily.
"But why on earth would you go for a walk at this time of night?" I knew why she was so concerned now. It was very dark out. Something could happen to me easy.
"Because, I wouldn't have been able to sleep easy at night if I didn't go for a walk to clear my head." Half of that was true. If I hadn't sent the letter today, I wouldn't have been able to sleep one wink.
"Okay, but Alice dear, please alert me next time you feel like going for a walk outside. Last time you had me so worried when you didn't come back, then when you did you were covered in dirt. And then you announced you had hit you head, I felt worried I was going to loose you! I don't want to loose you like I lost your father." She said going white, tears pooling in her eyes.
I was basically all she had left.
Margaret had moved out to live with her cheating husband. I heard that he was still going around kissing that girl.
Father had passed away. But if all went to plan, like I hoped it would.
I would to be leaving soon. I would be leaving to head back to Underland, hopefully.
I just hope the letter makes it to Hattah.
Hattah P.O.V
I was having tea with Hare when all of a sudden; we heard Mally yell to us from a distance.
"Hattah! There's a letter here for ya!" she yelled. We barely heard her. Hare's ears pricked when he heard her and starting preparing things to throw towards her.
"Hare, don't. She seems to have important news for us." I said seeing what he was planning.
When mally finally came into view, I could see that she was holding a small brown envelope in her hand. I put down my empty cup and lent her my hand. She climbed up onto to my hand and I lifted her to the table.
Looking at my empty tea cup while she caught her breath, I started thinking. Our parties weren't the same anymore. I couldn't drink tea anymore. My life was so plain without…Alice.
Pulling me out of my thinking process Mally waved the letter in front of my nose. It smelt like dirt. Dirt from the Rabbit Hole.
"Hello! Earth to Hattah! You have a letter that needs reading!" Mally squeaked.
"Oh yes, I shall read it oh small Mallyumkin." I said, just to annoy her. It did the trick.
"Oi! Do not call me small Mr.! I shall poke you with my sword!" when she said that, I put my hand against her to stop her from leaping towards my nose and cutting it, like last time I called her small.
I opened the letter. The handwriting looked familiar.
"It's from Alice!" I yelled standing up when I recognized the handwriting.
I ran my hand over the paper, feeling the dents when the quill made contact with the paper. I then smelt it. It smelt like her.
"Are you going to read it? Or just sniff it?" Mally squeaked from her seat which she ran to when I stood up quickly.
"Oh yes, reading. I shall do that now." I sat down and started reading
After I read it, I re-read it, imaging Alice sitting at a desk writing this letter.
"She's returning soon! I must write a reply to her!" I said, standing up again.
I ran across the table to reach my house.
I saw Hare's and Mally's faces when I ran away. They both had equal looks of confusion for my sudden excitement.
As soon as I got to my house, I closed the door and ran over to my old wooden table where I used to make hats.
I found some ink and started writing.
