Chapter 5: Stolen and Found

"Run faster!" Kate screamed at her friend, as they raced through the long grass and flowers, trying desparately to escape Stayne and his army. She was glad she had joined the Cross-Country team back at home, but was scared for Lyn, who wasn't at all fast at running.

Unfortunately for Kate, it was Lyn she should have been worrying about.

The Bandersnatch appeared in front of her, growling fiercely at her. Kate yelled in fright and changed direction, heading to her right. Thorns and bark of plants around her scratched her skin harshly but she couldn't stop running as the Bandersnatch was hot on her heels.

"Lyn!" Kate looked around wildly for her friend as she ran but she was nowhere in sight. She silently prayed Lyn hadn't been taken but before she could call out her name again, she was pushed roughly onto the ground.

"Eurgh! Yuck!" Kate yelled as she fell into a large puddle of greenish mud, spitting out the small bits that had gone into her mouth. She lifted herself off the ground, wiping the mud off her clothes. She heard a loud cough behind her.

She turned slowly, hoping it wasn't who she thought it was.

It was.

"And who are you?" Stayne asked, eyeing her curiously with a superior look on his face; he had a proud smirk on his scarred face.

"Me? Oh... I'm Alice," Kate told him, thinking fast, and giving him a small smile. She tried to control her excitement; it was Stayne! As terrified as she was, she was seeing Stayne – wow, he looked so... real. Really ugly too. She had no idea how the Red Queen could fancy him!

"No, you're not," Stayne's lip curled knowingly. "Alice has already been found and taken. So, who are you?"

"No way!" Kate said, aloud in shock. "She's not meant to be found out til later on!"

Stayne watched her, confused, taken aback by this strange response, but quickly composed himself, glaring at her, angrily, "I asked you your name, you insolent little girl! Answer me!"

Kate's temper also flared; she hated being treated like a child, "I'll have you know that I am over 15 years of age, almost an adult really. So you have no reason to talk to me like that!"

Stayne stared at this girl, incredibly shocked by this outburst. No one, other than the Red Queen, had ever spoken to him like that, returning to his original proud smirk, he clicked his fingers and immediately a group of red-carded soldiers came forward and picked up the girl, who screamed in protest.

"Let go of me, you stupid red card things! I'll rip you all into shreds! Let go!" She struggled against their firm grips, but it was no use. For paper, they were quite strong.

She was hoisted up into a small cart, where her wrists and feet were chained promptly. Stayne rode his large horse over to her, looking down at her with a superior smirk, "Let's see what Her Majesty has to say about you."

Kate froze, unsure whether was more excited or scared at the idea of meeting the infamous Queen; but at that moment she just wanted to bash that smug Knight's head in.

Stayne called out an order and the Cards began to wheel the cart forward, ignoring the angry shouts of their prisoner.

Lyn walked through the large plants, having evaded the Bandersnatch at last. She stared at her surroundings, hardly believing her own eyes. She had never imagined something like this; it was better than seeing it in 3D cinema.

"Kate?" Lyn whispered, pulling back a large leaf and looking behind it, in case her friend was hiding. "Kate?" She called louder, scared for her friend and what trouble she may be in.

This was the second time that day Lyn had to look for her friend; the first time being just before they had fallen down the rabbit hole.

"If only Kate hadn't gone looking for that stupid hole – we'd be at home now, probably watching TV or messing around in my bedroom," Lyn grumbled to herself, kicking a tiny rock along the path. "And now I have no idea where she is and we'll probably never get home!" Lyn leaned against the nearby stalk of a large plant, sighing audibly. "And we'll be stuck in Wonderland forever!"

A small chuckle from nearby made her jump and she whipped around to face the chuckler; her face red at having been caught talking to herself like some mad idiot, "Who's there?" she demanded, scanning around her for any signs of life.

"You're all late for tea!" shouted a familiar voice and a large tea cup just missed her head by an inch.

"Uh-oh," Lyn whispered to herself quietly, recognising that unforgettable shrieking voice and gasping as her eyes rested on a long wooden table, laiden with all sorts of assortments fit for a tea-party.

Any guesses as to whom she has come across? XP Btw, I really hate the name of this chapter, I just couldn't think of a name to suit it - so don't flame me for it! =P Next chapter up soon :):)
