Author's Note: So I know I haven't updated since Saturday, and I am superrrr sorry about it. I just got really busy really fast :( Anyway I want to go ahead and say that I am fixing one thing I spend way too much time on. That is the dialogue tags. Dialogue tags are like : said, whispered, yelled. I spent way too much time trying to use different ones that it took away from my writing. Therefore I will use said, asked and other plain ones until I get better at doing them off the top of my head. I will try to upload a chapter of this every other day and my other story I'm starting will go up the days these don't! I will occasionally upload these two days in a row if I get extra writing time, LIKE THE SUMMER WHOOOOOO! Hope this is okay with you guys, and see you in the story! Narrator Pov for all of it!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. All rights go to there respected owners. I just own the plot!

Please Enjoy!

The Fall Of The Red Queen

It had been a year since that talk. Eliza and Zander were madly in love and had even gotten married. Alice was the best thing to ever happen to both of them! It was a "Perfect Happy Ending." But this story was far from over. It took a turn for the worst that day. On Alice's second birthday.

"Darling you look pale and sick. Is everything okay?" Zander asked very concerned about his wife.

"I hate to say it, but I am terribly worried my love," Eliza hesitated, "Do you remember us talking about the people who burned down your village?" The man nodded. She continued "The reason I asked about red diamonds is because of a scroll written by my great, great, great grandmother. She was an amazing soldier in the war of cards. There were the Clubs, Spades, Diamonds, and Hearts. She fought on the side of the Hearts. The war started over land, but the Clubs, Spades, and Hearts soon realized there was something wrong. They got together and figured out that the Diamonds wanted to have all of Wonderland. Seeing this they fought valiantly together and won. They split the land evenly and that was that, or so they thought. The Diamond King came to my great, great, great grandmother and told her to write a message. It said that in six generations of Hearts that they would come back and take what was theirs. Meaning the land. I am the sixth generation." She breathed in sharply.

"This is not good Eliza. We will gather the armies to fight." Zander said in great confidence.

Eliza smiled believing in the kingdom her and her husband built. They would fight it together. They would win!

Sadly this was not the case. When the Diamond Kingdom came The Red Queen's armies crumbled. That was not the worst though. On Alice's second birthday. Eliza locked her and Zander in the dungeon. Only Zander knew why though.

"You mustn't do this my love. Eliza please don't do this." Zander pleaded.

"It is for the best my dear. Protect her with everything. I love you Zander." This was the last thing she said. She was about to do a transportation spell when the Diamond King slit her throat from behind.

"Noooooo!" Zander cried as he watched his wife use the last bit of life in her to finish the spell. Zander had to cover his wet bloodshot eyes from the bright light. He looked up to see they were in a cottage. The sad and confused man ran to Alice. Seeing her in her crib made him sigh in a small relief. It was then he noticed a letter that was in the baby's crib. He picked it up and started to read it:

To my dearest Zander,

Please know I am sorry I have to put you through this heartache, but there is no other way. I must keep you and Alice safe. We will lose this war. I had to get you away from here. I sent you to a dimension called "Lollies World". I know a woman there that will take care of you and Alice. It is a small dimension, but it is good to start with. I have enchanted your hat so you can do dimensional travel with it. I love you darling. We love our child. So together we will save her. I am so sorry, but I don't regret what I did. I don't regret anything.

From your lady Eliza.

Zander started crying while reading the letter. "I love you too Eliza, and I will always protect Alice. With my last dying breath," Zander whispered under his breath. He got up and held little Alice in his hands. He started singing to Alice. "My sweet child all wrapped in blue, if you saw the things I do. You're right there I'm right here. Always safe in my arms."

"Hello?" He heard a female voice call, "Who is there? Zander is that you?"

He cleared his throat, "Yes it is I. Who are you?" He asked as the woman came into view.

"Oh! I am Dormouse Alfine, but you can call me Mouse like everyone does." She looked at Alice. "I will be your caretaker from now on. Those are my orders!" The woman exclaimed with a chipper smile.

"Orders? Eliza didn't.." Zander tried asking, but was cut off.

"No, no, no. She didn't order me to. She asked and I kindly agreed. I do hope she is fine." Zander winced at the comment. Seeing this Mouse walked up to him and patted his back. "There there, we will all miss her. I have you to thank for getting me my bestie back though."

Zander nodded, "Well here we go. Let's live." With that Mouse and him smiled. At that moment Alice laughed and hiccuped at the same time causing Mouse and Zander to laugh.

It was then he thought that maybe. Just maybe the life Eliza wanted for him and Alice could work.

Author's Note: Well that was kinda short, but I will not only be starting my new story tomorrow. I will also be giving you another chapter! This kind of felt like another Prologue, but at the same time it didn't. Therefore I won't be calling it that. This will also be based around Alice in high school, but we won't get to that until the chapter after the next. Sorry!

P.S. My other story is an Avengers high school au, but mainly Stony! (You seeing a high school au trend here xD)

Anyway it would be nice to hear your feedback on how I did! I would love if you could drop a favorite, follow, or/and a review.

Till Next Time My Little Cluster Of Spiders.
