The next day they all got ready for the battle. Wepons were polished, swards were sharpened and many hoped the evil Red Queen would die.
Little did Cassie know what the coming day held for her and Cheshire.
After breakfast, Cassie hugged her parents and Alice goodbye, and wished them luck in the battle. Peter had to go home for since his grandmother came unannounced, and everyone else was busey. but said he would be back as soon as he could.
After they all left, Cotton, the son of the March Hare (Cassie's godfather) ran up to her in distress. "They just left." Cassie said, assuming he was looking for Alice or the others.
"No, mama needs you. She is having the baby, but something is wrong." he cried, fear in his voice.
Cassie quickly looked to the gates where all the others had left for the battle. No one was there to help her, she was all alone.
Cheshire came up and Cassie told him the news.
"What do I do?" she asked franticly.
"Go! I'll fetch our things and meet you." Cassie ran after Cotten.
