Copyrights of Alice and the whole Alice in Wonderland idea goes to Lewis Carroll while certain make-up characters go to me and a wonderful writer named Romeo. Song lyrics of Mad World are owned by the respected artists. Sorry about the bunch of dialogue and the lack of describing things. I just wanted to get the characters going so I can get the action going in the second chapter.
Hearts and Hats: Wonderland's Next Generation
Prologue
"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression"
Six years since the little blond haired girl leaved Wonderland and with her departure, a civil war had been going on and on. The once lovely and ever-caring Queen had suddenly decided to turn dictator on the whole land and meaningless killings of famous wonderland figures happened. The White Rabbit, March Hare, and even Mad Hater are dead. Some say that it was the Mad Hater himself, who rumors have that he loved the queen, cursed her forever to be never love and only feel anger before his death.
Now the war rages between the Queen and her Eldest son, Benn Heart. This son, royal blood, wishes what most of the citizens in Wonderland wish...freedom and love. Benn dragged in the most unlikely characters to aid such the Mad Hater's daughter herself. Her magic and loyalty to her father's name may the key to the end of the war and the beginning of a whole another adventure.
The Thief and the Prince: Chapter One
The sound of thick horse footsteps echoed through the brightly colored forest, small and large creatures popping secretly from bushes and tree, watching as a red cloaked figure rode slowly through their home. Under a long red and white cloak was a young man, about the age of nineteen with bright green eyes and short messy black hair. In the distance he saw what he was looking for. A small misshaped house painted with faded neon colors and broken windows. The place looked like a hurricane went through it. The horse slowed to a stop and down leaped this figure. He pushed down his hood and shook out his hair which was still damp from this morning bath.
"Benn Heart! What in bloody hell are you doing here?" a female's voice rung out in the silence of the moment. A smirk come across the man's face as a girl with purple ponytails and wearing a rainbow colored dress and green polka dressed heels walked out from the house, smiling and with her arms open. "Why looking for the famous Madison Hatter herself. Do you have time for a lonely prince?"
"I have all the time in the world! Come in, come in. You just are in time for tea." Brushing pieces of hair from his face, Benn followed Madison into the house. Inside it was worse then the outside. Everything was broken and there were holes in the wall every few minutes like someone fired off canon balls. "So what do you want to talk about?" Madison said as they walked out to a courtyard and sat together at a small table. "Alice is back." Madison's hands begin to shake and Benn had to help her from dropping the cups. "What?" she choked out.
"Maddie, the girl who can save us all is back. I know it." That was when she shook her head at him. "It is not possible. She went back to London. The Queen closed up the rabbit hole. Benn, there is no way." "I know but she is back. There had been sightings of her. The butteredflies don't lie." Maddie let out a sigh and just poured the tea, her soft brown eyes reflecting in the liquid. "…And you want me to find her?" "Can you?"
"Hell yes. I am Madison Hatter not some buck tooth village idiot." " Good. Pack your stuff. I have a horse outside and you can come back with me to my base. The guys miss you." "Benn, I moved out of there for a reason. I refuge to be near the front lines. It brings back too many memories. "Just for a week. Please?" Maddie nearly choked as she sipped the tear and begin to cough a little. "No." "Yes or else." "Else?" "Maddie, Come on!" "Fine. One Week."
