Tarrant

I set out to find Alice. It would take a while, but I would do it. I could tell she was far away. It would take a while to reach her. But I could also tell she was safe… temporarily. I didn't know who was with her, but I knew that she was safe and in good care.

"Say Tarrant," Henry's son began I looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "When were you born?" I translated the date into Otherworld time as best I could.

"June 7, 1813 I think!" The boy looked at me in awe.

"You look pretty damn good for forty!" The boy exclaimed. His father looked at him anger flashing in his brown eyes.

"I'm not forty! I'm twenty-three!" Henry looked at me strangely.

"What year was it when Alice was kidnapped?" I thought for a moment.

"May 10, 1833!" I replied. I looked at Henry's face, his eyes were wide and his mouth formed a small 'o' of shock. Or rather a large 'O' of shock.

"You said it was only a few days since she was kidnapped that you came through the looking glass, correct?" I nodded, "That was 1833! It's now 1853!" I looked at him, my eyes grey and yellow with worry and panic. My heart began to sink.

"Are you saying… that the looking glass… didn't just send us here… but… sent us twenty years into the future?" I whispered in awe, never before had a looking glass done that to it's travelers! "That explains so much! Why my normal appearance is coming about so quickly, why I have an occasional bought of madness! It's because I've technically been here more that a year!" Calculations ran through my head like Thackery when he's being chased by a swarm of honey bees for trying to take their honey for afternoon tea.

"What does that mean, Tarrant?" I looked up at Henry.

"It means I have only twenty days in which to retrieve Alice, ensure that she's safe, get her home, go home and return Stayne to the White Queen!"

"Holy Shit!" Henry's son exclaimed.

"You got it right boy, were in major trouble!"
