(Okay, I am SOOOOOOOO SORRY this has taken me forever to update! Anyways, since summer starts in a few days for me, I promise updates will be quicker! Please don't give up on reading and please give me as much feedback as possible!)
I blush and look down, not knowing what to say or even what's going on. If this is a dream, I don't like it.
The rabbit clears his throat, glaring at the man with the red hair, and stands on the table "Now, now, mad hatter! Come on, we're all to blame here. But that's in the past."
He snorts in response, but sits, putting his hat on lopsided.
I sit in the one empty spot, next to that is that god-awful cat, who was previously working. He purrs, an elbow lazily allowing him to hold his head up as he smiles at me, transparent almost.
"So theeees is theee new Aleeece?" He says, the words sounding as if they glided off his tongue.
Nervously, I nod. I'm alone this time, for the rabbit has long since forgotten me, and joined the others excited and hushed conversations. The only one not participating is the man they called the mad hatter, and he glowers from across the table. Not much help there.
"Meeee likeeee. But can you savvve ussssssss…" The cat replies, bringing my thoughts back to him.
"I…I don't know. I don't know what's going on…" I mumble.
He lifts his head, stretching tall, coming to attention. I can see all the way through him to the workers as he hisses out the next line. "You know not what's happened?"
I shake my head fearfully.
His eyes turn red and he scratches my hand with his paw as smoke fills around lifting me from my seat.
"Come…I shall show you…" He says, his head popping up all around with that grin of his sending chills down my back.
