Melicia in Wonderland

Chapter 20: I didn't plan on anything

I found myself in that white room once again. I think I go here whenever I touch the Knave's sword. Maybe it's like an allergy or something…I'm not really sure. "Don't let me think about unimportant things, focus on the screen, I for one want to know what's going on!" My mind yelled at me, which made me straighten up a bit and look at the left, um, I guess you could call it a wall. It changed from white, to black, to grey and then to the scene that I left.

I could hear someone screaming a battle cry with funny accent. Dormouse was laying on the floor unconscious and the March Hare looked like he was hit in the head with one of his teacups. Who was screaming?

The screaming continues until I see a tall man with fiery orange hair and eyes that were now a murky forest green. I started to freak out internally. Did Hatter hear me say "I love you."? Does he love me? "You are too pathetic. Would Hatter be risking his life to fight the Knave if he didn't love you?" My mind yelled at me. I found that that gave me a bit of hope.

Hatter picks up my sword that the Knave threw away. They began to duel. I've got to be honest; I've never seen anything more exciting in my life. The swords made clanging noises each time they hit each other and neither one of them was going easy.

The Knave was backing up to a wall and I cussed silently. Before I knew it, the Hatter was against the wall with a sword to his neck. I ran up to the screen thing and it shattered. It broke into thousands of tiny pieces of glass. I turn to my right and see a mirror. I walk over and try to get out. The mirror turns into a door and I pull it open. The floor begins to fade and I close my eyes. I fall on the ground behind them. I grab my sword (that Hatter dropped when the Knave cornered him).

I dig it slightly into the Knave's back. "I'm not dead yet. Are you surprised?" I say as I dig it a little deeper. I couldn't kill him, obviously, but I could wound him. He'll be much easier to bring to jail or whatever if he can't fight back.

The Hatter looks at me for a split second before kicking the Knave in the stomach. "Bold move. Wish I'd thought of that." I said out loud, although I didn't mean to, so immediately blushed. The Hatter puts handcuffs on the Knave and looks at Dormouse and the March Hare. They looked so broken.

I walked over and scooped Dormouse into my hand. She wasn't bleeding, but she was definitely knocked out for a little bit. Hatter walked ever to the March Hare and he awoke at his touch. "Melicia, your late for tea." He said in a slightly angry tone, I tried not to wonder what would happen if he had another one of those teacups around here somewhere.

The March Hare hoped out of the room while throwing things at the wall. I couldn't tell if this was in improvement or if this was bad.

I looked at Dormouse lying still in my hands. Would she be ok? I hoped so, she was the only person besides the White Queen that knew my love for Hatter-unless he had heard the words I last spoke before drifting off into the white room. I start to worry about what he thinks of me but I'm interrupted by the little mouse in my hand stirring.

"Melicia?" she mumbled as she tried to get up. I smiled and nodded. "Where'd you go just now? I thought you left me, I did! I thought I was going to have to tell him myself!" She was immediately filled with energy. I stared down at her and tried not to blush. She thought she was going to have to tell Hatter I loved him if I died. That would definitely make things simpler, but I would obviously just be setting him up with Alice, which is not good.

Hatter smiled down at his little friend madly. Alice is sure lucky to have him. I thought sadly and my mind kept quiet. I wonder where she went off too…

We proceeded to take the Knave and the Red Queen back to the White Queen's castle. She was (apparently) going to punish them, but I doubt she would be able to go through with it. Oh well, at the very least we'll lock them up in a jail cell deep in the maze like castle. Maybe they'd even go mad…wait, no, there not good enough to be mad, they'd just go mental or something.

We left the castle and I talked with Dormouse. I've never had a friend that was girl, but I imagined it must have been something like the friendship Dormouse and I shared. She kept my secrets, and I kept hers. Apparently she has a crush on the cute little mouse that lives I in the castle, and of course, we talked about my "him" (That's the pronoun we replaced Hatter with) during the way back too.

We set up camp in the same placed we did on the way there. Hatter and March Hare were already fast asleep (I hope). We had started calling Hatter "Hatter" again. "Why don't ya stay, Melicia?" She asked tiredly. I thought about it just like I did that time that Hatter had asked. I wanted my answer to be better and less shallow this time.

"Tarrant loves Alice. I can't help feeling jealous. I don't want to hurt either of them, or myself, by staying. Besides, Echo and my grandmother need me at home. If I wasn't there I wonder what they'd do." I said quietly and pondered on that dream I had last time I slept here.

I decided against sleeping just incase I had another dream like that, why torture myself more then necessary?

Authors note: so that's the newest addition! So if you think I should make a sequel, tell me so in a review. Also, tell me what ya thought of this chapter!

Peace in!
