Heyy! Okay, I've been trying to get this down for a while, but kept getting calls/emails, so...finally! Sorry for the fancy title-I mean "fixing the mistake(fail)"

Chapter Two: Rectifications:

Blurring colors...swirling...falling...losing control...lost...lost Tarrant...again...no hope...

Kila opened her eyes and had no idea where she was. At first. As the blackness in her vision faded away, she began to recognize the place she grew up in. Tarrant's home. Well, it was hard not to think of him...but this hadn't gotten her close enough to her destination, and now she had no power left. Which was strange...her power came from belief...and imagination...so why was it fading? She didn't even need to be worshipped, although that certainly helped. She shook her head. This was to be considered later. Now, she had to get to the White Queen's castle-she should've been there months ago!

She considered her options. She was a major goddess of music, water, fire, loyalty, dreams/imagination(like all of her kind), love, the sky, the earth, the sun, moon, stars, and many minorities depending on which civilization she relied on for the power. None except maybe sky and earth could help her now. She could always use dreams...and she had a plan.

Tarrant looked from face to face. They all stared blankly back at him like he'd just told them they were dead. Which he pretty much had. Mirana recovered first.

"Oh, Tarrant, I'm so sorry...you must miss her so much."

"That is why I will stay and fight." he said calmly.

"Tarrant...if this is as bad as you say-"

"It is."

"Then that may not be wise-"

"I don't care. I will stay. You can fight with me or save yourselves. Just don't try to change my mind." he was perfectly sane now, and cold. That scared them more than anything else. The Mad Hatter was never intentionally cold to any of them like this.

"Very well." Mirana said at last. "Let us go to the people and tell everyone to prepare for war."

Tarrant nodded his thanks at her.

"You could stay here, you know. With us." he said softly, his green eyes sad and pleading.

"I can't. There are things I must do and see. I'll be back before you know it!" she promised.

"You won't remember." he was barely making any sound.

"Of course I will! How could I forget-" she broke off, remembering that, long ago, she had come here, and she had forgotten. She looked at him sadly. She had to go;couldn't he see that?

He could. And they stood staring at each other as they dissolved to each other, and then she was gone.

Alice woke up in her cabin aboard her father's company's ship that was taking her to China. She'd been so excited; but now all she wanted was to return to Underland, or Wonderland, as she still thought of it. She missed her Mad Hatter so much...he had become like a brother to her, and the White Queen, and that silly March Hare and his friend the White Rabbit! All she wanted was to go home...and she was shocked to find she'd actually thought of Underland as her true home. You belong here, she scolded herself, but couldn't help but wonder if it was true.

Below, in Underland, Kila felt an unexpected surge of strength. She smiled to herself; someone up there still believed! She added tracing this to her mental list of dreams to "visit". She had a feeling she was about to have a very busy, very sleepless night.

Sorry for the short chapter again-the next ones will be longer! Please review!XD it means the world to me!
