Chapter Nine: Letter
Alice's Point of View
"Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and land softly on your shoulder." -Author Unknown
I watched Alicia as she slept. She looked so peaceful. So hopeful, like nothing in the world would happen. Like all would work itself out.
Why couldn't the entire world have that mindset?
I walked over to the dresser, where I had placed my small handbag. In it was my letter to Hatter. I had written it shortly before I found out I was pregnant with Mystique. I had always hoped of giving it to him in person, but that hope died long ago.
But it was being rekindled now.
After having read my letter to him so many times, I had it memorized, right down to the final comma.
My Dearest Hatter,
I know that you must be confused as to why I left Wonderland. After realizing the place of my dreams wasn't even a dream at all, what reason would I have to not stay forever? I want you to know that deciding to leave Wonderland was easily the hardest choice of my life. But it was a necessary choice to make. I still don't know if I made the right decision.
I would also like to tell you that you helped me in more ways than you will ever realize. You helped me to regain my muchness. That was one of the most precious things you could have ever given me. You gave me back everything that was lost after the death of my father. Because of you, I began thinking of my six impossible things again. And now - for you - I will name six of the most impossible things I have come up with since leaving Wonderland.
1. I could leave the most wonderful place in existence.
2. I could sail to China as an apprentice to my father's company.
3. I could fall asleep every night, knowing I left Wonderland behind.
4. In Upperland, cats cannot speak.
5. I still have nightmares about Wonderland.
6. I am in love with a Mad Hatter.
Yes, it's true. I have fallen in love with you. I want to return to you as soon as my ship docks in England. I want to come home. I realize now that you are what I've always wanted. I feel rather silly for not having seen it sooner, but better late than never.
Hatter, I don't want to lose you. I fear that I will. I fear that you will find someone else, or that I will never return to you. But there's something that I wish for you to know, even if that does occur;
Love is something special. Once your heart feels love for someone, that love never goes away. It may strengthen, or weaken. It can fade or become more prominent. But it never goes away. If you ever felt something towards me, you will always feel it. Even in one hundred years, when I'm long gone, you will feel love. And I hope that every time you think of me, it is with warm happiness and no regrets. I love you, Hatter.
Sincerely Yours,
Alice
PS: I've finally figured out your riddle; Edgar Allen Poe wrote on both.
"Mom?"
I looked up. Alicia was sitting up in bed, looking very afraid.
"I'm here Darling." I said in a soothing tone.
"Grandma?"
"Yes." I said, coming over to her.
"I had a nightmare." she said.
"Twas only a dream, my dear." I said, smiling. "Now get some sleep. I love you."
"I love you too." she said.
All was well.
For now.
I know it was short, but I wanted a little bit of insight into Alice/Hatter and I didn't want it to be too wordy. So I don't know if you want to count this as a chapter or not, but my next upload will come soon!
