As requested I am continuing the story.

I waited what felt like hours for my audience with the queen. All the prisoners were retrieved form the dungeon and pulled into the room to receive trial. The man before me was yanked forward to the center of the room. He was forced to kneel before her majesty.

"Please!" he begged "I will never do it again-" he was abruptly cut off by one of the guards hitting him. He kneeled there quietly. The queen seemed disinterested in this whole thing as she looked at her nails in boredom. Sir Peter cleared his throat before speaking.

"This man has been charged wi-"he was cut off by a wave of the queen's hand.

"I don't care about the charges. Just kill him." She didn't even look at the man before ordering him away, murdering him. My chances of survival were near zero I assumed. I squeezed my eyes shut as the guards by my side began to drag me forward.

"What's going on here?" asked a random yet familiar voice. My clock felt like it sped up when I heard his voice. Sir Ace had entered the room, confused.

"It's a trial you dingbat!" Sir Peter yelled at the man.

"Oh…" He mumbled.

"Sir Knight!" I yelled, trying to get his attention. He looked at me and laughed. My chest ached at the sight of him. I lowered my head when he just turned away to leave.

"Her charges are-" The prime minister began to read.

"Kill her." The queen sighed. I suddenly looked up at the woman and was instantly blinded by the bright lights. I fell back in pain, cringing. Queen Vivaldi's eyes drifted down to me as I rolled on the floor, blinded. "What is the meaning of this?!" She yelled. My hat fell off revealing my ear, twitching in irritation. The court gasped. I opened my eyes as my pupils dilated and I looked to the queen. Her face was written with surprise and confusion. For some reason the room seemed brighter. I looked to Sir Peter who was also looking at me. Then I sighed. The cat was out of the bag. They knew I was a cat now. My ear twitched as I flinched uncomfortably under everybody's gaze.

"It's the cat!" The queen shouted. Suddenly Sir Ace spun around to find me on the ground. His eyes widened.

"Neko-chan?!" he asked as he took a step closer. "Y-you have eyes!"

~x~x~x~

I ran. I was running as fast as I could away from the castle. I had barely escaped and my head was spinning. What did the knight mean by what he said?

"UMPH!" I had run into some random person as I was lost in my thoughts. I looked up, scared, and found that it was the other cat. He looked blankly at me until something clicked.

"You have eyes!" he said, happily. I blankly blinked at him.

"What?" I asked.

"You have eyes now. Big, beautiful, purple cat ones." He smiled. My eyebrows furrowed.

"I… Have eyes?" I asked, he nodded. "But… only role holders have eyes…" I mumbled.

"Then I guess you are a role holder now." He chuckled. "Come on!" he yelled, taking my arm and dragging me away. I screamed. "Quit screaming your head off. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm taking you to the amusement park!"

"Amusement park…?" I asked, dumbfounded. "I... I have never been there. I have only been to the castle."

"You will love it there. It is an amazing place. I live there." He laughed. I frowned once I could see the gate.

"I can't go. I don't have any money to buy a ticket." I muttered.

"I can buy it for you." He offered.

"No. I don't know you…. I left my money in my room but… that is back at the castle…. I wonder if they are searching for me…" I mumbled, spacing out.

"Hey, hey. Don't space out like that. Let's have some fun!" he said dragging me to the gate so he could buy me a ticket. I frowned. This cat was extremely… flamboyant.

"So… what is your name?" He asked casually after we had gotten into the colorful park. It was blinding really. Now that I had eyes everything was brighter and the colors of the park started giving me a headache.

"I… I don't have a name…." I muttered. I frowned as I looked down at my shoes.

"Don't have a name?" He asked. I nodded.

"I thought everybody had a name!" He yelled, turning to look me in the eyes.

"My parents abandoned me after I was born. They didn't like how I was a cat so they abandoned me. I became a stray until my job revealed itself."

"Right, right. You were a maid at the castle. Why were you running?" he asked, curious.

"Hm? Oh… I was put on trial and sentenced to death by the queen…." I muttered, turning my head to avoid eye contact from him.

"What the heck did you do to her?" He asked.

"I gave her two lumps of sugar rather than one."

"That's it?" his face fell. "That's absurd!"

"The queen kills for even the smallest of mistakes, Mr. Cat."

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself, have I? I am Boris. Boris Airay, the Cheshire Cat." He grinned widely at me. "But what am I going to call you…?"

"The Knight of Hearts called me Neko-chan."

"Neko-chan? What kind of name is that?" He laughed. My eyebrows furrowed.

"What is wrong with that?" I growled. He paused and thought for a second.

"Fine. I will call you Neko-chan. Now let's go have some fun!" he yelled before dragging me to a line.

~x~x~x~

My feet were actually killing me by the time Boris was done guiding me through the park. He laughed as I sat on the bench rubbing at my feet. My tail swished behind me from under my dress.

"Well maybe if I was wearing more comfortable clothes rather than my maid dress and these horrid shoes I could go farther." I mumbled.

"I could take you shopping after this." Boris offered.

"No. I will not take more of your money." I growled.

"Well what if I could get you to the castle to retrieve your money?" He asked, curious. I looked at him, puzzled. "Here, come on." He dragged me to a random door. He grinned at me and opened the door to reveal my room at the castle. I gasped. "This is the power of the Cheshire cat." He chuckled before taking my hand and dragging me into my room. I quickly found my stash of money and put it in my pocket. Boris looked around the room. He looked in the closet thinking I might have normal clothes. All that was in my closet was these maid dresses. I huffed and dragged him back to the door to leave. I didn't want to stay too long for fear of getting caught. He took me to a nice little shopping area and I entered the shops to look. I found a small purple tank top that ended above my belly button. I had a short sleeved gray jacket slung on top of that. My pants were simple gray capris and I had on comfortable gray shoes with purple marks. Boris smiled at my clothing choice. After I paid for my new clothes I took out my 'claws' to cut a hole in the back for my tail.

"What are those?" Boris asked, curiously.

"Well… As Sir Ace called them, they are my claws." I giggled remembering the knight. Boris raised an eyebrow.

"You seem to talk about Ace a lot." I blushed and he chuckled. Night suddenly came as my tail flicked back and forth. I sighed, not having a place to stay. "Why don't you stay here with me?" Boris asked.

"N-no. You have already done so much for me…" I said as I backed away putting my hands up in defense. "I couldn't possibly live off you."

"It's my treat for a pretty little kitty like yourself." He smiled. I grimaced. I turned to run but accidently ran into a man. I fell backward.

"S-sorry." I mumbled. I looked up at the tall man who was wearing bright colors. He hurt my eyes. I blankly blinked at him and he chuckled.

"My, my Boris. Who do we have here?" he laughed.

"Go away old man." Boris mumbled.

"Don't call me old man." He snapped. "So what is your role?" He asked, turning back to me.

"I-I don't know." I mumbled, looking away from him. I felt a headache coming on.

"Don't know?" He asked, confused.

"Look, it's a long story, old man. I will tell you later. Right now she is probably extremely tired." Boris said, stepping closer to me. I quickly jumped up and began to run, not wanting to stay the night with him. I ran out of the park and found myself lost in the forest. I sighed as I jumped up a tree and decided I would just sleep there.

This one turned out longer than the others. Ha.
