I am over 100 reviews. I am over the moon. So I am off of school now. But that won't do you any good. I am off on a cruise for about a week so I am trying to get in a lot of writing before then.
I thought you might be interested on how Chess and Hatter got to Earth or how they were disguised as kids. I hope you like my explanation on why they didn't get Alice to wonderland before now. If you give me a better alternative then I will change it.
Now I am not sure if I have to put a disclaimer in every chapter, but just to be sure I am going to end this with a sarcastic comment.
Yes I totally own Wonderland. It totally belongs to me, not Lewis Carrol the writer. Why wouldn't it belong to me? Kidding. It actually does belong to Lewis Carrol. I think.
Hatter
He had a plan, he had a plan, and we were going to get Alice back!
I felt like dancing.
I was so excited that I almost missed Chess talking.
"Alright here's the deal, the queen is sure Alice is dead, you are insane, and I am under a rock somewhere. What she doesn't know that I Alice is not dead, and I am not under a rock somewhere."
I processed this.
"Hey… I am not insane." I paused, and then added in an undertone.
"Most of the time."
Chess just shook his head.
"Now, I sent Alice to earth through the Pool of Tears. I have found out through several years of watching her that she resides in New York in some place called America."
I nodded and thought a moment.
"So we need to get to this Amaric place right?" Chess nodded in confirmation.
"Yes, so since Alice being who she is can stop the queen. We can get to earth through the Pool of Tears."
I started to nod and then shook my head.
"Chess are you telling me we could have brought Alice back all these years?" I said through gritted teeth.
Chess looked at me long and hard.
"Hatter two reasons. First she is safe and the queen thinks her dead. She is settled and has a family. It was hard enough to get her through without alerting the queen, think of how hard it will be to get us through the Pool without alerting the queen.
She has spies everywhere."
That seemed an acceptable reason.
"What is the other reason?" He grinned sheepishly.
"I sort of forgot until she was settled."
I growled at him.
"You know we couldn't retrieve her, the queen was watching are every move."
I worked hard to nod and not strangle Chess.
The cup of tea in my hand was starting to look like a good throwing weapon.
"Okay, so we need to get to the Pool of Tears pronto."
Chess grinned sheepishly again.
"I need to cash in a few favors first."
"Why?" I said dryly.
"Well we can't go to Amaricas looking like ourselves. I need to find some more Miracle objects.
We need to get Alice and the best way to do that is look like kids her age."
I slurped on the tea I was sipping. (Oxymoron)
"Her age?"
He rolled his eyes. "Yes, her age. Believe it or not, she has grown quite a bit; I think she is about fifth-teen or sixteen at the moment."
I contemplated that.
"I can't imagine her that old." I stated.
Chess gave his classic grin.
"It was weird when I saw her the first time too."
"We just need to remember one thing." He added.
"And what's that?"
"Starting tomorrow we are going into stealth mode."
Stealth mode?
