"Can I eat now?" Alice whined. "Or do you want me to die of hunger?"
"Yes, we're almost there."
"Where is there?"
"You'll see."
Alice sighed and looked down, but continued walking. How many days has it been since she stopped eating? She tried to starve herself after the fire. But she found that it was way too slow.
"Sweet shop it right ahead. Past this hill." Rabbit said, stopping.
"The sweet shop?" It didn't sound like the place Alice would enjoy. She wrinkled her nose in disgust.
The Rabbit noticed. "The Sweet sisters work there. Sweet is their last name. Their parents were murdered by the Red Queen."
"How old were they."
"11. Their 13 now."
"I was 16 when my parents died."
"I'm sorry..."
"I don't need your sympathy."
"But I-"
"Hey! It's Alice!: A very high pitched voice shouted.
Alice turned to her right. She saw a girl run up the hill. She had blonde hair then went to her waist (much like Alices USED to be) that had a streak of neon pink in her side bangs. Her eyes were the same neon pink color. She was wearing a bright green corset dress with A LOT of ribbon, this went down to her mid thighs. She also wore white knee high converse. She ran up to Alice and hugged her.
"Damnit! I hate being touched!" Alice shouted. Well, other then Rabbit and I wouldn't mind Hatter... Alice thought mentally.
"Awww..." The girl said. "No one likes Cupcake..." She backed up. Alice noticed that she was very short. She was about 4' 5''
"Guilt trips don't work with me." Alice said plainly. "And what the hell, your name is Cupcake?" The girl smiled.
"You make fun of me and my sister will slit your throat.
"Well I'll kick her-" Alice was cut of by Rabbit picking her up again. "Will you stop fucking doing that! I'm getting really dizzy and REALLY pissed off!"
"I needed to shut you up." He shrugged.
Cupcake giggled.
"If I made this up, then why the hell is she here? She irritates me..." Alice whispered to Rabbit.
"She's the last positive thing left in you mind, thus the last positive thing left in Wonderland."
"She sounds like a phyco bitch..." Alice said, jumping down from Rabbits arms. The girl stopped giggling.
"Calada!" She called. A girl came from over the hill. Her hair was the same blonde as Cupcakes, but hers had a neon green streak. And it was shorter... much like a pixi's hair. She had the same dress as Cupcakes, but it was pink with tatters and tears and stains all over it. And it had black fishnet sleeves, she also wore black knee high converse. Her eyes were neon green. Unlike Alice and Hatters dark green eyes.
"So." She hissed. "She's back."
"Bitch." Alice scoffed. "You have a problem with me?"
"As a matter of fact I do." She said.
"I just met you and your already a pain in the ass. Much like me." Alice crossed her arms.
"Hey! Anyone here!" Alice heard a deep familiar voice call from down the hill.
"Mister Hatter is here!" Cupcake jumped in excitement."Why must he be 3 years older though! Oh, come on Calada! It's Hatter!" She bolted down the hill.
"HE doesn't belong to us anyway..." Calada mumbled as she followed her twin sister down the hill, but stopping to give Alice a death glare.
"What the hell is her problem!" Alice asked Rabbit as they started walking down the hill.
"You hold something they both want..." He said under his breathe, through his teeth.
"And that is?"
"Nice to see you again..." She heard a voice whisper in her ear. She felt a pair of arms go around her waist. She jumped away.
"get off you bastard!" She yelled. She saw Hatter standing there, smirking.
"Awww, Ms. Alice." He smirked and put his hands in his pockets. "Rabbit can touch you and I cannot?"
"Call her Ms. Kingsley Hatter." rabbit spat his name.
"Oh nice to see you again too rabbit." He said, sarcasm coating his words.
"Shut up." Rabbit said.
"have you remembered my warning?"
"I haven't forgotten but disregarded. I will NOT lose to you."
Alice, not really caring to hear then fight again, groaned and sat down in the grass in front of the old shack. She heard someone giggle and sit next to her.
"Oh how lucky Miss Alice is." She turned to see Cupcake on her left.
"Stop with the miss, my name is Alice damnit..." Alice said, annoyed.
"I thought your last name was Kingsley, not damnit." She heard Calada sit on her right.
Alice turned to glare at her.
"You don't intimidate me." She said.
"You have something I, we, both want."
"Which is?"
"Hatter."
Alice scoffed and stood up. "I don't want him go ahead."
She walked into the sweet shack. It wasn't what it seemed. It has a bar on one end, and a kitchen on the other. It was very dark and gloomy, with close to no windows. Whatever windows were in there were coated with dust and has torn curtains. There were spider webs in every corner.
Looks like my old room... Alice thought to herself. She sat down at the bar.
"What do you want." Calada said, stepping behind the counter, sounding uninterested.
"Strawberry tequila." Alice mumbled.
"Same here." Hatter said, taking to seat next to Alice.
Alice rolled her eyes. "Are you stalking me."
"You'd like that wouldn't you." Hatter chuckled.
"Fuck you."
"Sure."
"Perv."
"Thank you."
"Here." Calada slammed the drinks down and went outside to join her sister and Rabbit.
Alice looked at both drinks, hers was darker.
:Don't drink that." Hatter said, going behind the counter, grabbing a full bottle of tequila.
"Why?"
"Drink me." He said, unscrewing the lid then taking a drink.
"What." Alice said, not knowing whether or not to be offended.
"It's a poison, she slipped it in your drink."
"Bitch!" Alice said, stranding up, banging her fists against the bar. She turned and walked, ran, out of the shack. Followed by Hatter, who still had a bottle of tequila in his hand.
Alice saw the two girls by Rabbit, next to a large oak tree.
Once close enough, Alice used one hand to grab Caladas' neck and hold her against the tree, and the other to grab her knife.
"You bitch. You tried to poison me!" Alice shouted.
"Cad, you didn't!" Cupcake exclaimed.
"She doesn't belong here! Or with Hatter!"
"I'm not!-" She was cut off by someone pulling her off of Calada. She felt a hand grab the knife from hers and pull her into a hug.
"Shh..." The deep voice of Hatter said "Don't kill anyone."
"But she!-" She stopped. She realized just now that she was in Hatters arms. Not Rabbit.
"Shhh..." He said again.
"Don't treat me like a child." Alice said, leaning into his chest.
"Better?" He asked, not loosening his grip.
Alice nodded.
"Ok, keep holding onto me." He whispered.
"Uhm... why..." Alice said, shocked by his... forwardness...
"Because it's pissing rabbit off and I kind of like it..." He said, smirking.
Alice sighed.
"You don't object?"
"N-no..."
"Oh look, I made the great Alice stutter." Hatter chuckled.
"Bastard." Alice scoffed and pushed him away. She grabbed her knife before turning to walk towards the tree she pushed Calada into. She wasn't there anymore. She turned to Rabbit.
"Alice." Rabbit said. "Are you all right?"
"No, I hate this..."
"I can get you home soon..."
"I meant living dumb ass."
"Don't say that." Rabbit said, anger in his voice. "Without you, all of this dies." He grabbed her hand. "I will not, under any circumstance, whether you like it or not, let you get hurt."
Alice moved her hand away.
"You're 23." She said.
"Hatter is 16."
"Really?" She said, shocked.
"Yes, I am." Hatter said. Alice turned to see heas, leaning against the tree.
"Oh..." Alice said.
"It doesn't matter to me though. I... enjoy older women." He snickered.
"Oh really now..." Alice asked, slowly stepping towards Hatter.
"Yes." He smirked.
Alice got close enough to Hatter. She stood on her toes, her face was centimeters from his.
"Well, I don't think so." She whispered. She snatched his hat. But, instead of him getting mad like she wanted, he took the hat from her hands, then placed it on her head.
"You look very cute in my hat." He pulled her close and whispered.
Damnit... God fucking damnit... He was good... Alice thought.
"You watch yourself Hatter." She put the hat back on his head and lowered herself. Then she turned to see 3 faces. Two full of anger, and one going 'Awww!'
"can we eat now?" Alice asked Rabbit. He nodded.
"I'll make an Eat Me!" Cupcake exclaimed and ran into the Sweet Shop. Calada followed.
Alice stood there, in shock.
"Not poison." Hatter came behind her and whispered, before walking in the Shop.
Alice sighed and followed.
