Winter wonderland
Elliot March
Emily was finally getting used to life in wonderland
The weather was nice and the people could be delightful
Like I said
Could
She stayed at the mad hatter mansion
On the pretence that she would always do as blood asked
Not that she did
She preferred to piss Blood off instead
For that reason her and Elliot sorta got along
Sorta didn't
This was one of the days when they didn't
"SHUT UP YOU RABBIT"
"IM NOT A RABBIT I JUST HAVE LONG EARS"
"EXPLAIN THE CARROTS"
"I ONLY LIKE CARROT DISHES!"
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO POUR A WHOLE POT OF CARROT TEA OVER MY HEAD JUST BECAUSE I CALLED BLOOD AN ARROGANT ASSHOLE"
"BLOOD IS THE BEST GUY ANYONE COULD EVER MEET. ALICE LIKE HIM"
Emily froze
Her best friend Alice Liddel
She hated being compared to her
Even as very young children people were always comparing her to Alice
Saying how they wanted Emily to be more like her
She looked down
Then stormed off in the snowy trees of the forest surrounding hatter mansion
Elliot watched pissed off
Not like he could care any less
That night she didn't return
She was so angry
And upset
But then again
It's not like Elliot knew
Was it?
Elliot was starting to get worried Emily had been out in the forest all night
He wondered if she would come back
He didn't mean to do anything if he did do anything
Was it that he mentioned Alice
He knew the two were close since childhood
And that there was sort of a slight rift in them
But he didn't know much more than that
He looked at Blood who really couldn't give a damn
"Go look for her if your so worried" he sighed as he got back to his paper work
Elliot sighed
"But you need me to protect you"
Blood sighed
"I'll be fine for an hour or two"
Elliot owed in thanks and ran off
He looked for Emily in the forest
Who might I add was lost because SOMEONE told her it was the way to the hatters mansion
That SOMEONE got lost themselves and buggered off
She was sorta scared
Elliot searched frantically
He finally found her
She was sitting by a tree head in her hands sobbing
He gathered the girl into his arms and rocked her slightly
"Shhhh shhh" he began
"Your safe now"
She clung to him scared
He kissed her head and then whispered in her ear
"I'm sorry for what I did…..I love you"
Emily blushed but nuzzled into him
"I love you too"
