Through my mother's rabbit hole
Chapter 10
"Oh dear." Tarrant said as he saw my face. I knew I was crying, but I felt no tears. "Calm down, lass." He said is a Scottish accent and I nodded. Was I crying? I think I was but I didn't feel the tears fall down my cheeks.
"I am calm!" I said (screamed) in a (un)reasonable tone. I just wanted things to get better. Why the hell couldn't things just work out?
"Lass, you're bleeding." He said as he looked at my clothes that were drenched in blood. "I think I need to see a doctor." I said as I grabbed my arm and kept it close to my side. It was aching. My wrist felt like a bloody disaster. I needed reality and I needed it right now.
"Indeed. I'll take her." Said Chessur out of nowhere. I shot an angry glare at him and broke free of everyone's grasp. "I don't want him touching me." I said in the calmest voice I could. I really didn't want Chessur touching me…ever again.
"I'll take her." I heard a voice so familiar, but yet I couldn't remember. I looked up and saw mother standing there in all her glory in a ripped dress. I felt another round of tears slip down my cheek as everybody takes a step away from me, except mother, who walks up to me and looks at my face. "I wish I would have been here to show you around Underland." She told me as she helped me up. I wrapped my good arm around her shoulder and limped beside her.
I'll be honest with you, seeing her wasn't what I wanted to happen. I wanted to be able to go home and tell her I was in Underland and she wasn't. I would lie and say the trip was great, just so I could compare to her. Or be like her. Either's good.
She walked beside me down the hall and sighed every once in awhile. "I'm glad you found Underland, but was it necessary to be hurt like this while doing so?" She asked and I just limped towards a door that said "Nurse's office."
Mother pushed it open and I looked around the big nurse office.
It was all white and fake. There was a dozen or so cots all lined up perfectly straight. I sat down in the one closest to the door and spotted a skinny, short, redheaded nurse wearing a pink nurse outfit. When I saw the mix of curly haired red and pink polyester, I wanted to gag and tell her to change, but I refrained from thinking it more then once in fear of my mother giving me a lecture about expectations and boundaries.
"I'm guessing you'd be Rayne, Tarrant's daughter?" She said in a really deep voice and I nodded. She looked at Alice and frowned. "And you'd be?" She asked slightly frustrated. "The Alice. And who may I ask are you?" The nurse's eyes widened and she slapped a smile on her face. "Locke Brink Lazarus, please to have made acquaintances with you." She said as she looked at my wrist with a worried expression. "Sorry hun, but I'm going to need to take all the glass out and stitch it back up. Take this, it'll make it hurt less." She said as she passed me a bottle of orange liquid. I drank it and felt the liquid poor down my throat before nodding my thanks. I really was quite annoyed though. Why'd I have to be so impulsive and insane?
I felt myself float away from my body. I'm not dead, but I knew I was unconscious. Did you know you were unconscious in a state of non-consciousness? Thoughts of Chessur floated in my mind. Some of which were appropriate, and others that definitely were not.
I thought about Tarrant and how I should really stat calling him father, because he most definitely was. Then again, I didn't want him to be. He was obviously the reason for my incurable madness. Mother gave me the gift of being stubborn, and he gave me insanity. Beautiful.
I slipped into slumber and a state of mind where even I couldn't ponder.
When I woke up, my wrist was wrapped up in a fabric wrap. My head hurt, a lot, and my mother was nowhere to be seen. Which at the moment, I couldn't figure out if that was a good or a bad thing.
Locke was sitting on another cot reading a book. When she noticed I was awake she walked over with a smile on her face. "You've been out for lounger then I thought you'd be. The Cheshire Cat came in here dozens of times threw out the night." She told me and I shuddered. "What did he want?" I asked a little annoyed that they let him in. "Nothing more then to make sure you were ok. He really is quite a kind man. Is he courting you?" I gasped at the straightforwardness of her question before realizing that I was in Underland. The rules of society no lounger apply here.
"No. I'm supposed to be queen, I can't." I tell her like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "Yes but Alice is back, wasn't she supposed to be queen before you?" She asked and a spark of hope went off in my hope.
Mom was back in Underland. I didn't need to be Queen if she was here, right? The blue queen was back and I could see Chessur.
"I'll be right back!" I said as I ran out of the nurse office.
