REVIEW!:)


Chapter Ten: New Friends & Old Enemies

Alison's Point of View

I was outside of the castle. It was nice outside, but the hot weather was bittersweet. It wouldn't be like that for much longer if the Jabberwockey attacked.

I was also outside because I couldn't stand being with the White Queen for one more minute! She was smothering me with attention and questions. I'm a little girl for Pete's sake! We need fresh air and sunshine every now and again!

A rustling in the bushed pulled my attention away from the red roses I'd been staring at. Curiously, I crept over to a piece of green foliage, and peeked through the branches. A saw a white shape, hiding itself as best it could.

Even though I was only a little girl, it was a breeze to pick up the little white bunny that had been trying to conceal itself. I didn't need to hear his voice to know that this was Nivens McTwisp.

"Hello Mr. Rabbit!" I said cheerfully.

"Alice?" he asked in disbelief.

I shook my head. "No, silly bunny! Alice is my Grandma. My name is Alison. And boy, am I glad to meet you! You wanna play?"

"You're Alice's granddaughter?" McTwisp asked nervously.

I nodded. "That's right! Now come on! I want to play while it's nice outside! Too many people take sunshine and fresh air for granted, but not this little madwoman!"

"Okay?" The rabbit asked uncertainly as Alison pulled him away towards the backyard of the mighty castle.

"So, will that be tea or crumpets, Mr. Rabbit?" I asked in my fake British accent. McTwisp and I were sitting on rocks behind the castle. I had found some fruit on a tree, and was pretending that they were crumpets. The tea was fake, but that was the fun part; using your imagination!

"Those don't look like crumpets." McTwisp said shakily.

"Of course they're not, silly bunny! They're Squimberries; I found them growing on that tree over there. We're just pretending that they're crumpets, to make it seem like a real tea party!" I said.

"But why pretend when there's fresh sources of tea inside?" McTwisp asked.

"See Mr. Rabbit, that's your problem." I said. "You don't know how to use your imagination. I'm sure you'd be a lot less nervous if you didn't take things quite so literally."

"Has anyone ever told you how exceptionally smart you are for your age?" McTwisp asked.

"On several occasions." I smiled brightly.

"Alison!"

We both turned our heads in the direction of the castle, where the violent voice had called my name.

"Oh, dear." I said. "I've got to go. Will you come back to play with me again?"

"I don't know. I was just here to-"

"Please? I don't have any friends here yet; I'm from up there." I gestured to the sky. "Please play with me? Queen doesn't like to."

"I will come back again." McTwisp promised as he scurried away.

"Alison Kingsl-"

But I interrupted the Queen mid-sentence.

"Coming!"


Alicia's Point of View

"What do you want with me?" I gasped.

"I won't keep you long; I just want to talk to you." a dark voice said.

"Please, let me go! Cheshire knows where I am!"

"Aw, little Alice Kingsleigh has developed a crush on our ferocious feline friend." he said.

"But I'm not Ali-"

"Oh, don't deny it." The voice said. "There's no use in trying to change my mind."

"Where am I?" I asked.

"You're in my hideout." he said simply.

"How did you even get me here?"

"Ah, secrets. They are most troubling, yet also necessary. I will not tell you." The man said.

"So what do you want to talk to me about?" I said, trying to squeeze as much information out of him as I could.

"A plan. A plan that will either shape you or destroy you. A plan that I want to stop."

"What's the plan?" I asked, intrigued.

"In exactly five days, a Jabberwockey will attack Marmoreal. However - unlike you might think - the Red Queen will not lead the attack, though she will be behind it."

"Who will lead it?" I asked.

"I don't know her name. But she is a child; she can't be more than seven years old. Light blonde hair, striking green eyes, cute little smile...sound familiar?"

"Alison." I barely whispered.

"Ah, so you have heard of her." The man said.

"Yes." I admitted.

"I will return you to Marmoreal now. You will tell no one that we spoke."

"Why did you even want to tell me?" I asked.

"I would rather not say." The man admitted.

"How would this destroy me or shape me?" I asked.

"It could shape you if you defeat it. But it will destroy you by destroying the one you hold most dear." he said, chuckling lightly.

"What?" I gasped.

"Let's hope the kitty hasn't used up his nine lives; he'll need them all." the man said.

"No." I said, putting so much passion in the word it sounded almost threatening.

"Oh, but yes. Good luck Alice Kingsleigh. I will be watching. You will see me again when you succeed."

"And if I fail?" I asked.

"It won't be good for you either way. Don't be mistaken child; I have not gone to the good guys. I merely have interest in..."

But the man's voice trailed away as my vision blurred. When I woke up, I was in my bed in Marmoreal. I was sweating bullets, and gasping. I shot up in my bed.

"Where am I?" I gasped.

"Alicia? Are you okay? Talk to me!"

I would know that voice anywhere.

"Chess! Oh my gosh, Chess! What happened?" I was so overwhelmed and scared that I almost started crying.

"Are you okay?" he asked again.

"I think so." I said.

I waited for him to respond. When he didn't, I looked up. I met his gaze steadily, and looked into his eyes.

And that's when he kissed me.
