Hey guys! This is probably the shortest chapter I have done so far but I hope it's epic enough to make up for it. My reason for the quick update is that I don't have a life so I will just write. Enjoy...

Chapter 7

After the meeting, the White Queen retired to her office. She flopped down on one of the white leather couches and closed her eyes. He relaxation was short lived when she heard a knock on the door. The White Queen quickly regained her grace and went over to her desk.

"Come in."

The door opened. In came The Tweedles, Mallyumpkin, the Dodo and Mc Twisp.

"Your're Majesty, we wish to make a complaint," said Mc Twisp, "about Lewis."

"Oh," said the Queen, "Why do you feel you need make a complaint?"

"He broke our rattles!" cried the Tweedles, "He stepped on them on his way to the garden, didn't even say sorry!"

"He said the most offensive things to us," said Mc Twisp, the Dodo very much agreeing.

"And he nearly sat on me at the meeting!" said Mallyumpkin, "Didn't even notice!"

At that they all began talking at once.

"Everybody!" Miranda called, everyone fell silent, "I'm afraid, I'm not the person you should be talking too."

"Phil," she called to the Guard outside her door, "could you please go get Alice to come here?

"Yes, you're Majesty," he said before leaving.

A few minutes past, until a knock sounded at the door. It opened to reveal Alice.

"You wanted to see me your Majesty?" she asked.

"Yes, these people want to talk to you about something."

"We want to make a complaint against Lewis," demanded Mally.

"Oh dear," sighed Alice, "What's he done now?"

They again began talking at once.

"Please! One at a time!"

"He offended us all very much," said Mc Twisp.

"I also offended the creatures when I first came to Underland, remember?" said Alice.

"But you were only a child, Alice," said the Dodo, "He's a gentleman."

"There's nothing gentle about him, "said Mc Twisp, quite annoyed.

"I'm sorry everyone" said Alice, "I'll talk to him. I hope he is in a better mood now."

"Thank you, Alice," said the Queen, giving Alice a reassuring smile.

…..

Alice walked with the Guard to the Garden. She was following the buddy rule that the Queen had set up for her.

She spied Lewis in the gazebo. The gazebo was built on the edge of a cliff revealing a pleasant view. He was sitting on the bench looking out at the view. She could see he was still fuming about the meeting, but there was no turning back now.'

"Thank you," she said to the Guard, "I'll be alright now. My friend is just over there."

"Alright, call me if you need anything," he said, then walked away.

She walked toward Lewis.

"Hey," she said, "can I sit with you?"

Lewis looked up at her but said nothing. He slid across the bench. Alice sat down.

"Are you alright, Lewis?"

"I'm fine," he muttered. There was an awkward pause.

"I know you aren't getting along so well here but you have hurt their feelings," explained Alice.

"They haven't been the nicest either," he muttered, not taking his eyes of the view.

"Hatter said to me that he was sorry for lashing out at you."

"What do you see in him?" asked Lewis grumpily.

"Excuse me?" Alice asked, confused.
"Well I'm not surprised that you would fall for a mad man," he said in a mocking tone, "You are probably as mad as they are."

"I have no such feelings for Hatter!" exclaimed Alice angrily, "And who do you think you are judging us like you do? You offend me and my friends!"

"I just want to get out of this… this… asylum!" he said storming off.

Alice sat there, bewildered by his words. Is that what he thought of her? A mad person? She sighed and held her head in her hands.

Suddenly something yanked her hair, hard. She yet out a yelp. She looked around her but couldn't see anything.

"What was that?" she thought.

She than felt a painful grip on her arm. Alice started to panic. She thrashed around, trying to get whatever had a hold of her off, but still couldn't see anything.

The grip held on tighter. She let out a scream. She didn't know what was happening. She fell backwards off the bench, landing head first onto the hard marble. Her shoe fell off as she scrambled to get up. Her mind was all foggy but she felt herself being stuffed into a sack. Then she blacked out.

…

Lewis stormed away from Alice. He was still very angry at the Hatter. He could not see what Alice liked about him. What did he have that he didn't?

He felt bad for taking his anger out on her. He considered going back to apologise but didn't want to admit to her that he was jealous of the Hatter.

He saw the Queen and he subjects coming around the corner. Hatter was again at her side. He looked for a place to hide but had already been spotted.

"Lewis," called out the Queen.

He reluctantly walked over.

"Where's Alice?" she asked.

Before he could answer a blood curdling scream came from the other side of the garden. He whipped around. He knew that scream anywhere. Alice was in trouble.
