This chapter will be in multiple points of view, just for warning. I didn't really know what to put for this chapter so unfortunately this is just a filler and there will probably be a few more of these seeing as I have no idea how long this story is going to end up being. I know as much as the readers because this story is writing itself yo. Any who none of these characters belong to me yada yada yada can be considered spoiler blah blah blah yes it is femslash but you should have figured that out by now. Please review.
He couldn't help but to pace his workshop. After news of what had happened to Alice had reached him Tarrant had gone straight to the Queen. She had of course immediately dismissed him from her chambers telling him that if there were any change in Alice she would send word to him immediately. Tarrant didn't know what he would do if anything happened to Alice. The young lad was like a little brother to him and that meant that he felt the need to protect him like he would any of his siblings that had long since passed with the rise of the Red Queen.
Stopping mid-pace Tarrant couldn't help but worry even more. He knew the Jaberwock blood was suppose to be good for Alice. Give her whatever she wished for, at least that is what Queen Mirana had told him and he trusted her with his life. Pacing again he didn't notice Chessur appear on his work table that was set in front of his windows that over looked the main gardens.
"Dear Tarrant keep this up and you're liable to wear a whole in the floor." Even though he spoke in his normal lazy voice Tarrant was still startled out of his musings.
"Chessur! You shouldn't sneak up on people like that. You could give someone a heart attack you know."
"And you shouldn't worry so much. You know she will be alright, I've told you so dear Hatter." Chessur tried to sooth Tarrant's frazzled nerves.
"Yes but you never said anything about the Jaberwock blood doing this. It was supposed to help him not hurt him!" The more he thought about it the more his mind went into madness.
"Tarrant settle yourself. It's all playing out as it should. I swear that everything will be alright."
Tarrant sighed, what Chessur said did calm him slightly. He had never had the cat lie to him for as long as he has known him. Besides Queen Mirana was personally caring for Alice herself and that knowledge alone made him relax more. There was nothing that their Queen couldn't handle and this was no different. Setting down at his work table Tarrant decided that now would be a good time to keep himself busy.
She was beside herself with worry. Never before had she witnessed something like this. Nothing she had ever given anyone had caused that kind of pain. She wished now that she had looked a little more into the possibilities of the Jaberwock blood. If Alice did happen to die she didn't think she could ever forgive herself.
Looking over to her unconscious Champion, worry grew ever more visible on her features. This was not supposed to happen this way. The Oraculum had foretold that she would return to her world but Alice had defied that destiny. She had chosen to remain and for the life of her Mirana couldn't figure out why. It puzzled her, Alice was like no other she had ever met and had hoped to get to know the younger woman better. There were things that she wished to discuss with her young Champion that wouldn't let her mind rest.
Alice had taken on the Jaberwocky and come out a stronger person. The Queen could just feel it radiating off of the Warrior. The strength of that power had overwhelmed her slightly for she had never felt anything like it. She just knew for certain that she had to know more about Alice Kingsleigh.
He didn't think he would ever return to Underland but then again he had also thought Alice would have returned to her world as well. He certainly hadn't expected her to fall in love and remain just to be near. The stupid girl did have a tendency to surprise him now and then. Maybe he should have seen this coming. The one thing he did know for a fact was that the girl would never do as she is suppose to. How well this is supposed to turn out he himself no longer knew.
Being able to fly was a whole lot more convenient he thought. Soon he should be reaching the castle. He could just imagine the chaos the girl had caused with taking the Blood in front of people especially the Queen no less. Sighing he continued to fly on his way thinking about the stupid girl and how much trouble was going to come with her decision to stay.
Running around the castle was nothing new to him. McTwisp would run around the entire castle till the Queen made him go home and rest. Sighing McTwisp couldn't help but to think about Alice who was currently unconscious in the Queens chambers. He didn't know the full extent of what had happened but he did know that everyone was worried sick for their Champion.
With the Queen currently preoccupied with the care of their Champion he wouldn't have to worry about her running him home. He decided he would check in with her periodically to see if she needed anything as he was sure she expected him to. Everyone in the castle had heard of what had happened with their Champion and they were all so worried but there was nothing any of them could do. Only wait and hope that the Champion would be ok.
Making his way down the corridor that would take him to the Queens chambers McTwisp heard screaming. Breaking out into a run he ran directly to the Queens chamber where the screams were coming from. The doors had been left open and he could see the two guards that had been posted outside it were now restraining the Champion while the Queen tried to get her to drink something. He had never seen her look so frightened in all the time he has served her. It made him a little uneasy to know that his Queen now had a vulnerability that she herself was unaware of. Even though it did make the Queen more vulnerable he could still tell that it made her that much stronger.
Quickly moving in to assist his Queen McTwisp helped her get Alice to drink the potion and immediately she fell silent again. Looking up to the Queen he was relieved to see that she was a little more relaxed than before. Apparently the potion had done as expected. He stayed a little longer making note of ingredients that he would bring on his next trip then left the Queen to her task.
