Chapter Two
AN: Thanks to all the people that reviewed. I appreciate it!
Also, I'm sorry that I'm not updating so fast. I'm working another story as I write this and school is just about over. And for 2 weeks I'll be free and I'll write as much as I can. Then I'm off to summer school. But since I'm taking a computer class (it's required) I might be able to type and update the stories from there. So we'll see how it goes.
See the previous disclaimer, cuz I don't feel like going back to the last chapter, just to repeat myself.

Alice and Nny trudged through, what appeared to be a large coal mine. The ground that they walked on was a purple and black. The plants, most of which were mushrooms, were varying colors of pinks, purples, blues, and Nny swore he even saw a black one. The sickly green grass, towered over them, like weeds over coming a garden.
Occasionally, there was movement in the grass, and small bodies could be seen. Nny was about to venture off the path when all of a sudden Alice's hand grabbed the scruff of his black jacket. Her vorpal blade was poised in the air, and she looked ready to strike. Suddenly several small bodies appeared in front of them. There an ugly shade of yellow; it almost looked as if they were jaundiced. They had large bat like eyes, all of which were of two different colors; blue and black. Around their waists, there were grass skirts. The skirts were now a dull green, and they held sharp spears. The spears were made of a shiny metal, and the points were as sharp as an ax blade. The first little thing, pointed his spear at Nny.
Nny, saw that this 'thing' was wearing a gold crown. The crown had jewels encrusted in it, but the crown in general was dirty, and dull. Whatever shine that the crown once possessed was no longer there, and Alice had a feeling that it wouldn't come back, no matter how many times it was shinned.
"What are you?" Alice asked.
The ugly thing made no reply. It stared at her, it's huge eyes blinking. The thing turned it's back and looked toward the others. It emitted a loud shrill screech, which was more than likely a command to leave them alone. The troop of the little things walked off, but the one with the crown stayed behind. In it's small yellow hand it handed her a chain, with bleached bone white teeth. To Nny, it gave him the spear. Nny took it, but not without hesitating first.
The thing bounded into the forest with the others, who were waiting for him. Nny, looked at the small pointed spear. The top of this spear was pointed up, and had four other pieces of metal surrounding it, that if you pulled down on one, then the spear looked like a ceiling fan. Nny played with this new toy for a few minutes. Alice, he noted was beginning to get irritated with him.
She glared at him for a moment, before returning to the necklace she held in her hand. The Cat appeared out of nowhere. His anorexic body and sagging brown skin, landed on top of Nny's head.
"HEY! WHAT THE HELL? I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! GET OFF OF ME!!!!"
Alice, stared at him in shock. How dare he talk to the cat that way. Then she realized, that he was a homicidal maniac. The Cat jumped off of him, grinning.
"Ah, I see you have met the Wee Ones," The Cat said.
"What are they?" Alice asked.
"You mean what were they," Nny said, scratching his head. The bald spot and long pieces of hair were beginning to annoy him.
"Ah, they were the children. Sad bunch. Once they were crazy, now they are savages. A pity really. They'll help you now and then."
Nny, was still giving The Cat an evil look. Running through his mind was many ways to form revenge. That cat had no reason to land on Nny's head. Well that's what Nny thought. Then again the way Nny thinks is quite different from the another person's thinking. As the Cat talked to Alice about the Savages, Nny silently and slowly snuck up behind the Cat.
He raised his trusty butchers knife three inches above the Cat's head. Just as he was about to penetrate the Cat's skull with the sharp glinting blade, Alice threw her chain of teeth at him. The teeth hit him in the chest and latched on to his flimsy black tee shirt that had a picture of a confused yellow face, and the words:
What the Hell?
This was pretty much Nny's reaction to the chain of teeth. He stared at the clinging teeth, then looked at Alice. The cat was once again grinning, but when was he not?
"You bitch!! How do I know if these things have rabies? What if they're diseased? You know my many fans would hate to see me die this way!!!!!!!"
The teeth fell lifelessly to the floor and returned to Alice. The Cat spoke in a lazy voice.
"Ah, those teeth will help you in many battles. Can kill your enemy, with a single bite; they have poison in them."
This brought comment out of an already angry Nny. "YOU MEAN I'M POISONED? WHY I OUGHT TO KILL YOU, YOU MANGY EXCUSE FOR A CAT!!!!!!!!"
Nny lunged at the Cat, only to find himself having a mouthful of dried grass and red mud. The Cat, appeared on Alice's shoulder, and was grinning smugly. He continued to talk.
"And your spear can do fatal damage to your enemy. That is if you know how to use it."
Immediately after saying this the Cat regretted it. Sometimes he had too big of a mouth. Quickly he disappeared and it was a good thing too. Nny had a thoughtful look upon his face, and was picking the spear up experimentally, as if testing it's weight. He sighed as he saw that the cat was no where in front of him.
He turned and saw a very angry looking Alice. Her green eyes were shooting invisible daggers at his head.
"What?" Nny asked, nonchalantly.
Alice made a loud exasperated sound and instead of killing him (which was something she was thinking a lot about doing) she threw her chain of teeth at him. The teeth clamped on to his left side of devil horn hair and wouldn't let go.
"Hey! What did I do? This isn't fair! Get these things off of me!" Nny called after Alice's retreating figure.
She was so far ahead of him that he had to run to catch up with her. Alice was ignoring Nny. The Cat had said that she needed him to stay alive long enough to defeat the Mad Hatter. She knew that he could take care of himself, but enemies weren't what she was afraid of; she was afraid that she would lose it and kill him with her own hands. Then she would be trapped in Wonderland, or what was left of it.
Since Alice was paying no attention to him as it was, Nny decided to see what would happen if he poked the large caterpillar, lying on the side of the path. The caterpillar didn't move. Instead it made a few gurgling noises, and the smell of soured milk and rotten eggs mixed together filled the air. Nny, started to choke on the rancid smell.
The smell caught Alice's attention. She turned and saw Nny standing next to a large caterpillar. She slowly walked toward him, her vorpal blade in hand, ready to strike. She stood next to Nny who was turning an odd shade of green. She walked into the tall grass and stood next to the fallen caterpillar.
"What? Caterpillar? What happened," she asked surprised.
~ She knows this thing? Wow that's scary. He looks drunk.... Well I would be too. I need to kill something.... ~
The Caterpillar opened one large eye and stared at Alice. He raised his massive head and opened his mouth to speak. Instead of speaking he burst into large heaving sobs. The tears from his eyes were huge and fell onto Nny and Alice, drenching them.
"Could you stop please? Your ruining my black leather jacket," Nny said.
The Caterpillar stopped crying and looked at Alice once more.
"It's all gone wrong....." He said, "It's all wrong."

What do you think the Caterpillar is talking about? And is Nny going to survive, or will there be an accident???
