An Underland Tradition
By Rurple101
Mirana and Tarrant both walked, hand in hand towards the Great Dining Hall. When they got there the whole celebration of the Loveness Day was in full bloom.
If Mirana was honest, she felt guilty for snatching Tarrant as a partner on this day instead of Alice. But hopefully she would find someone else to be paired with.
But she was a bit worried when they went in and sat down for at least ten minutes. Tarrant was scared as well: he'd wanted to decline Mirana but he was…scared that would anger her. But then what about Alice?
"Are you ok, sweetling?" Mirana asked casually, pretending nothing was worrying her at all as she reached for an apple. He nodded and watched the other couples at the other tables in the hall.
"Mirana?" he asked, carefully. She looked around. "Yes?"
"Have you seen Alice?"
"No, I haven't - I've been with you all morning." She giggled and stroked her finger down his cheek.
Tarrant felt really sick with himself. Why did he agree again?
He had the thought of her finding someone else when several guest walked towards them. "Your Highness, Lady Alice has fled the palace."
Mirana and Tarrant both dropped their spoons and looked up in shock. "What?" Mirana said, gobsmacked.
"Lady Alice seemed to come to the hall earlier – which can be proved as she spoke to the Tweedles. She was then reported being seen walking towards your chambers majesty."
Mirana gasped and put her hands over her mouth. Tarrant's eyes went orange with guilt. The guard continued. "She then reappeared running out of the grounds. The villagers in a nearby town have said she is…screaming." He trailed off.
"Well go get her!" Mirana yelled, shocking everyone. "Yes, but she won't like that!" Tarrant yelled at her. Everyone was looking at them. "I'll go get her," he said getting up but Mirana motioned the guards to follow him. The after second thought she decided to go herself as well. This wasn't going to be pleasant.
short and sweet - thats what I say
