Alice. Syfy story.

Alice and Lindsey

Chapter eighteen: Shock and Aw.

(Alice pov.)

As I wrote down a street and address of a locker number to trick these twins and the queen, I thought about how we got here.

I was dumb in kicking Jack out. He lied about EVERYTHING! But at the same time, my dad...he was here? This whole time. The ten years he's been missing and he was taken to Wonderland? I couldn't believe it.

But could I trust Jack? I mean he did lie about everything. And Chris. But Chris was a cool person. Someone Lindsey looked up to besides me.

She never did like Jack. She wouldn't tell me but I could see it in her face. But could I trust Hatter? He's lied before. Maybe not like Jack has, but something was off. It was like Jack was pretending. The way he looked at me when he asked me to tell them where the ring was.

It was like, "Don't tell them." But I couldn't say where right on the spot. I just wanted out of here. And I still do. I hope Lindsey is alright. She didn't want to go through this. And this was going to bite me in the rear end and she won't let it go if we ever make it out of here.

Suddenly, the doors opened. "Whoa!"

"Hatter!"

"Who's that?!" The twins shouted. "Go away! This is a private session!"

"It's over! We're cutting it short! Alice!" It was Lindsey.

"Hey."

"Jump!" Hatter shouted.

"Get rid of him!" The twins shouted. But I ignored them, I climbed onto the desk and jumped. Hatter had me tight all the way around.

"How did you get here?" I asked.

"Ask Charlie." Hatter said.

"Why are we inside the old house?" Lindsey asked.

I shrugged. "Are you okay?"

"Me? Great." She shrugged.

"Believe it or not, we're inside your head." Charlie said.

"If that's true, I'm pretty sure these pictures wouldn't be up here." Lindsey said.

Looking around, she was right. Some of them were pictures my father took when he had a camera. Mom took those down after he left and I burned them. Not all but I wasn't in the best mood. Angry and sad don't mix well with me.

Then Charlie opened a door in the wall.

"Great! Let's get out of here!" Lindsey said.

"Your starting to sound like him." I stated to her.

"Well, I'm mad for sure. But not crazy." She said looking at me.

It was my fault she was dragged into this. I sighed as Hatter dragged the both of us around. Charlie kept up pretty well till we got inside the elevator.

Hatter hit a button and..."Up? Why up?" I asked.

"Do we have a choice?" He said.

(Lindsey pov.)

"This isn't good. But we can't go through the front door if they have guards everywhere. We could barely get to you Alice." I told her.

"I think you're forgetting something." Alice snapped at me.

"You need to suck it up and get over it!"

"Like you do with horses and boats?"

"Heights hasn't tried to kill you!" I yelled.

"Ladies. Chill." Hatter said to us both.

"Alice of legend, your presence in this world is no accident. You are here for a reason."

"Please Charlie. This isn't the time to be giving her compliments." I said laughing. Legend? It was a book for crying out loud.

"I will stand by at your side! Shoulder to shoulder." Charlie said.

"Charlie, now's not such a good time." Hatter said.

"You shouldn't have come. You could get yourselves killed." Alice said.

"Oh! Really?! Looked like we were going to be beheaded anyway!" I said.

"Did you do this?" Alice asked me.

"Of course! A land that shouldn't exist at all is right here, we land in the middle of this and...Oh My." I took a breath. "You thought making a deal yourself was a good idea? I had to run to let them know that this wasn't going to work! We got the crazy assassin taking us to the QUEEN! You are the one who's MAD!" I yelled at her in her face.

With a sigh I felt much better.

"You good?" Hatter asked me. I nodded. "Good. Did you give the ring up Alice?"

"Look. I have things under control." Alice snapped back.

"You tried to cut a deal with the queen didn't you?" Hatter asked now looking about as ticked off as I was.

"I was getting close." Alice said sounding nervous.

"Getting Close?!" I snapped loudly at her.

"Maybe I'm wrong but negotiations didn't appear to be going so well."

"Well, I need more time." Alice said not looking at him anymore.

"For what?!" Hatter asked. "You really thing the queen is just going to let you two and your friends go back home?"

"No." Alice said.

"No of course not!" Hatter was going higher till Alice said the trigger.

"Because he's her son and she's his...future sister." Alice said.

Hatter looked back and forth from Charlie and me to her. "The prince?" Alice didn't look up at him. "Jack Heart?" When she did it finally clicked with him. "Jack Heart is your boyfriend?!"

"And now your at where I am. I have said it before in our world about royals."

"Lindsey please just shut up."

"A pain in the ass! Now look where we are?! Running from a powerful queen who you were dating her son and he is one huge liar! I'm not going to trust him. Never did but this time, I'm not listening to you." I told her before the elevator dinged and we were on the roof.
