AN: Thanks for all the wonderful reviews! TARRANT HIGTOPP, thanks for asking, I try to review every two or three days, I spend all my free time at school writing my books and stories. With my story 'Forbidden' I updated almost every day. At the moment I'm going to try to update ever weekend. Thanks! Sorry for having to do that, but I have School, Young Womans, Pep-Band, Drum Line, Jazz Band, Marching Band (I'm a real Band Geek! XD), Family Nights, and I'm writing a book with my friend Eti. Sorry I'm changing my update times. L

"Alice! Alice!" She was no where in the gardens! "Oh, where is that girl? Alice!" Did she go after Tarrant? If so, does she know where he is?

"Mrs. Kingsleigh!" Reginald shouted to me.

"What is it Mr. Theophilus! What is it?" Reginald ran to me, I stood by where Alice had found Tarrant's torn ascot.

"The police have just arrived!" I picked up my skirts and ran with the ascot in my hand. Damn propriety! My daughter and her friend were missing! When I reached the house I was completely out of breath.

"Madam, Chief Cruso, you called and said a friend of your daughter's was missing. Is that correct?" The Chief of the Police asked.

"Yes…it's correct! And now… my daughter …has disappeared …looking for him! The only thing …we found was …this!" I handed him the torn and blooded ascot. The Chief grabbed the cloth and studied it. He barked orders to hid men who searched the gardens and house for clues as to the whereabouts of my daughter and Tarrant.

Where are you?

Alice

I still struggled. It may have been futile but it was better than submitting.

"Let go knave!" I freed my arm and hit him in the stomach. He grunted and stepped back removing his arm from me to hold his stomach.

"You little bitch!" he screamed and hit me. I stepped back and landed hard against a glass wall. "I'll kill you for that!" He stepped forward menacingly. In a panic I searched the floor for something, anything to stop him. My hand found a sharp rock lying on the ground. When he was on top of me I jabbed the rock in his shoulder. He cried out in pain and used his other arm to swing at me. A stinging pain emanated from my cheek. The force of the slap threw me backwards, my head hit the mirror with a loud crash. Glass fell and shattered from the spot and my head stung, a warm liquid ran down my neck.

"Tarrant." I whimpered pathetically as I fell into unconsciousness.

Tarrant

A loud crash woke me from my madness. I looked to the looking glass on my right. Alice lay there with dark red blood spilling from the back of her head.

"Tarrant." she whimpered before her eyes glazed over and she blacked out. Stayne picked her up carefully and walked through the looking glass on my left. But not before turning to me and smirking.

"You guddlers scut!" I screamed slamming my fist down on the mirror again.

"I leave you to die here above. Trapped between here and Underland you'll be lucky to survive a week, let alone a year as it is with your clan!" With that he left with My Alice.

"Alice," I sobbed, "Alice!" I screamed at the top of my lungs tears flowing freely. She was gone. Forever.
