A Hatter in Otherland
Chapter 14: So I wait for you to save me
I started to walk towards where ever it was my mind thought on going. I was more then slightly annoyed with the obscurtiy and darkness, but what could I do? I was guessing it was this way because it was and I really shouldn't ask because it'll end up to be needlessly complicated, and I don't need anymore complications in my life. Please just give me the freedom to live a life with my friends and family and Tarrant without frigging things up royally for everybody. Is that really that much to ask for? I didn't think so, but I was guessing it was too much to ask for. Too much to hope for. Just too much in general.
Every step I took echoed like thunder in the large, empty area. Everything looked huge, disturbing and was amplified. I wasn't at ease as long as I found myself under the veil of darkness.
I really needed to get out of here and help Echo. He needed my help to fight off Lore. Why'd Lore have to be so goddamn evil too? Everything that ass Alice touches seems to turn against me. Tarrant is probably touching her know. Alice the seducer she is she's probably already done the deed. It's not like I deserve much else, she's the Alice, I'm just Melicia. Nothing special about me.
"HELLO MIND! It's me, Melicia! I need you to wake the hell up and let me back into the real frigging world so I can help my little brother and save a mad hatter!" I screamed when I realized I had lost all patience and hope. Everything flashed black to white before I felt myself slip back to conciousness.
~Otherland!~
I opened my eyes and Echo was fighting with Lore- I mean Mercy. It was one punch after another and it looked like he wasn't going to get much done is he was getting more beat up then Mercy. I rolled my eyes and looked around. What could I hit her with, which is when I noticed the flag on a long, thick pole. I walked over, picked it up and hit her in the back of the head with it. Mercy fell down while Echo smiled up at me. "thanks." He whipsered as he slinged to his arm. Echo began to lay down like he might fall asleep any second. "What's wrong?" I asked him as I carefully walked over and saw that his arm was bent in a horrid direction. It was probably broken. How can he fight with a broken arm and how are we going to get it all fixed up? I sighed out loud before grabbing his other arm to help him up. He stumbled a bit, but he could stand. "We need to get to Hatter before Alice is finsihed." I didn't have to ask "finsihed what" because I already knew, but god did I wish I didn't. "Agreed." I said as I ran up the spiral staircase so I could get to Edge's bedroom. There was a mirror there that brought you to the White Queen's castle, which is actually really convenient if you think about it.
Echp hesitated behind me before shrugging and fallowing me. When we got to Edge's room I ran in and grabbed the mirror before bring it back out to the hallway. I wasn't going to let Echo see the mess of Edge's room. I wouldn't let Echo know how much of a vivid pornographic magazine reader he was or how much he liked to take the pictures of other people. He would either be crushed, or be thrown into an endless pit of rage, and neither of those seemed like very good choices at the moment.
I looked into the mirror and saw the White Queen's garden. I smiled as I felt myself fall into the reflection before closing my eyes.
When I open my eyes, I find myself sitting down beside Echo in the garden. All the white roses were yelling at me angrily. Protestig saying they deserved better than this. I apologized before grabbing Echo's nonbroken arm and pulling him inside the castle. The first thing I saw was Mirana's worried face looking at the hell was going on?
"Melicia, come here." She told me and I hesitated before walking towards her. She wrapped her arms around me in a hug and I knew that I had to hug her back, so I did.
She let me go and she looked down the hallway. "Tarrant is that way." She said carefully and I looked at her carefully before running down the hall. Echo walked towards her and I could here her worrying about him.
My heart was beating in my ears. I don't think I've ever been this worried. Should I turn around and not see what he might be doing? What is he doing with her? Please don't tell me he loves her. Please or jesus frigging christ someone please tell me he's not making love to her and I'm not walking into her plot to make me all depress and not give a crap anymore. Please tell me that's not what's happeneing. He loves me, right? Or does he love Alice? Who does he love more? Is he going to run off and marry her instead of me? Am I forgoten? Have I lost him?
I run down the hall and I hear giggles coming from a woman. Please tell me they aren't. please tell me I haven't lost. Please tell me all my efforts weren't wasted on this mad man. Please tell me you aren't lying to make me feel better. Please, just please give me this one last chance.
Tears were slipping off my cheeks and I stopped running. Not because I didn't see them, but because I heard another highpitched giggle, and this time I just decided I didn't want to know. If I never knew, I couldn't be hurt, right? What did I have to lose by going back to Otherland for awhile?
Little did I know almost everything I had was at stake.
Authors note: And that's the newest chapter! I'm sorry it's kind of rushed, I had to hurry up because I have to update 2 stories today (I hate updating 2 stories in the same day because it means I never get any of my homework done or work on my painting or have time to talk to Zach. Please Review!
