Prologue

"Mommy," Alice looked down at her five year daughter tucked in her warm bed. The girl's bright red hair and green eyes a constant reminder of the father she would never meet.

"What is it Avery?" she asked sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Caitlyn says that since I don't have a daddy I'm different than the other kids." Avery looked up at her mother eyes locked on hers.

"Avery you have a father and he's the greatest man I've ever met. Your dad is kind and extremely brave, and I promise you if he were here he would love you with all his heart." Alice told her. "Would you like mommy to tell you a story about daddy?"

"Yes." Avery smiled up at her and Alice began to tell her daughter of Underland and her adventures there. When Avery was fast asleep she left the room and went into her study, she found the picture, a picture taken when Avery was first born, of her, her father and her twin sister Faylen. It was a secret that she and Tarrant had agreed to keep long ago; the girls would be safer this way, as long as neither of them found out.

Chapter 1.

12 years later

"It's not fair all I did was go for a walk." Avery yelled at her mother. "I'm seventeen years old for I should be able take a walk through the woods by myself."

"It's dangerous to walk alone Avery, your imagination can get the best of you and you'll be lost." Avery huffed and then walked out the front door and sat on the porch swing, Alice returned to her work. Avery hated how overprotective her mother was always wanting her to stay close, never allowing her to wonder off on her own. Avery knew the stories of how her mother would go off for hours at a time no one seeing or hearing from her at all, yet Ms. Kingsly would never allow her almost adult daughter to do the same.

"Meow." Avery looked down and saw a small cat with dark fur that looked almost purple.

"Hello little kitty." She said, the cat looked up at her and seemed to grin before running to the edge of the woods. The cat stopped and looked back at her, Avery's curiosity got the better of her and she ran after the cat chasing it into the woods. She followed the cat's cries running toward the sound only half paying attention to where she was going. Before she knew it she was falling, and falling, and falling. In the distance she could hear the cat Meow, the further she fell the louder the cat got.

"Meow…meow….Alice…Alice." The cat's meows had morphed into a voice calling her mother's name. Avery looked down and saw the ground approaching, she was now wishing she had listened to her mother. She shut her eyes tight and waited for the impact.

"You're not Alice." A voice said. Avery opened her eyes to find that the cat had caught her on its back. The cat had grown in size and its fur was no a rich purple with vibrant blue stripes.

"No she's my mother, my name Avery." She told him.

"Oh dear he will not be happy with me." The cat said. "Come I should take you to the Hatter." Avery followed the cat through a dark hall and out into a brightly colored forest. The flowers were twice as big as normal flowers and the seemed to have faces. They walked further into the forest through trees and tall grass till the came to a clearing, where a long table sat. There were a few people gathered around the table, no not just people animals too. "Tarrant I have some regretful news." The man at the end of the table looked up. He had wild red hair and wore a top hat and his eyes were a pricing green.

"Chess that is not Alice." The man said. "Please tell me it's not who I think it is."

"I'm afraid it is Hatter." Chess told him.

"What's your name girl?" the man asked her.

"Avery Kingsly." She saw the shock in the man's eyes as he took a step back and looked at her.

"Chess you and Malymkin take her to the White Queen and keep her there till I return with Alice." The Hatter said to the cat, which nodded and nudge Avery to get her walking again.

Alice passed back and forth on the porch waiting for her daughter to return. It was getting dark and she hadn't seen or heard from Avery, she heard a rustle in the woods and looked toward the trees lining her back yard. She was hoping to find her daughter but was met by another mess of red hair.

"Hatter!" she ran toward him and he picked her up in his arms. "Have you seen her Avery, we had a fight and she hasn't come home."

"We sent Chess for you, but Avery followed him instead, she's on her way to Marmoreal. She'll be safe there until we return." Hatter told her.

"Why did you send for me Tarrant?" Alice asked him as they started they're journey through the wood.

"It wasn't me it was Queen Mirana, the Red Queen's forces are rising up yet again, and we need your help."

"I'll do what I can Hatter." She smiled up at him before they jumped down the rabbit hole.

So this is just something that came to me, if I get a good response I'll continue otherwise it'll probably just stay on my laptop for a while.
