The Dame of Hearts (1) crept quietly through the Hatter Mansion towards a certain sleeping Hare's bedroom. Cordula nudged open the door to look down on the current March Hare's sleeping face for what would be the last time.
"Harlan," she hissed shaking his shoulder roughly.
"What are you doing here?" he mumbled groggily, after being shook for several seconds.
"Your being replaced tomorrow and you didn't tell me!" she whisper-shrieked in his ear.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't tell you. I knew you would freak out about when there's nothing I can do! I've been in this for longer than you have Cordula. I have to be dropped."
She frowned at him. Why the March Hares' were always so submissive to the Mad Hatter (2)?"
"Fine, then I'm dropping myself. My Queen had left so they are just gonna hafta find another Knight of Hearts too!" Cordula declared.
Harlan looked at her and sighed, he knew better than to try and change her mind. "You know when I first met you I never thought that we would end up like this," he murmured to her lying back down in his bed, pulling her down to lie beside him.
"Hey, the bad sense of direction comes with the role you know!"
"Oh really? What about always ending up here?"
She pursed her lips, "Nope, I think that's just me. You were really kind to me though. Making sure those Bloody twins or the Mad Hatter didn't shoot me and patching me up when they did. That reminds me: when are you getting replaced?"
"When this time period ends. Why?"
"Because I'm gonna shoot the Mad Hatter, and then I'll hafta get replaced too!"
He looked at her with wide eyes and then sunk back down into the pillows. He slowly grew paler and paler until he disappeared completely, leaving behind a clock as the sun's rays lit up the room.
Cordula picked up his clock and gave it to an afterimage that was hovering near by. She turned and walked out followed closely by the afterimage. After shooting the Mad Hatter and getting killed by the Bloody twins, the afterimage picked up their clocks and brought them to the Clockmender's tower. Cordula and Harlan were reborn together and they were happy. But Cordula's replacement unfortunately had inherited the urge to go the Hatter's Mansion which led to many close shaves with the March Hare.
A love that could span death and rebirth between The Dame of Hearts and the March Hare. And an inherited sense of direction or lack of.
