Blossom in WonderLand
Chapter 7; Help is on its way
"Wake up! Please don't tell me your dead" a voice said. I opened my eyes but that was my mistake because I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. I winced from the pain but I soon realized that there was a dog sitting in front of me. "W…Who are you?" I asked as I rubbed the back of my head. He laughed nervously for a few minutes before he finally replied "My name's courage" I tilted my head to the left in confusion until it hit me…The Hatter had said that name before. It was when the …oh no the Red Knight!
"You where the one the Hatter trusted! He trusted you to lead them away!" I yelled in pure anger. I don't know why…I mean after all…he was just a dream. Nothing more…right? He wasn't real. So I shouldn't have to worry about…right?
Similar questions floated through my head. I felt so strange…like if I didn't do anything to help him…that something terrible would happen. "Is your name Blossom by any chance?" Courage asked. I was automatically snapped back to reality by the question. I looked at Courage for a few minutes before a sharp pain of gilt was felt in my heart as I replied in a depressed voice "It is…" I hesitated for a few minutes until I got enough courage to continue "but I'm not the Blossom that everyone is talking about"
I almost had the sense that tears would roll down my eyes any minute but luckily I kept them back. Courage smiled a bit and said "The Hatter would never have let Mandark and the red soldiers capture him if you weren't" When he said that I felt a little better…but "We need to save the hatter" I said. Courage looked at me oddly before he replied "But its not part of your destiny." I could have screamed at him when he said that…
"Ever since I fell down that rabbit hole I've been told who, what, and when I should do things and to tell you the truth I'm sick of it…so bring me to that Hatter or I'll do it myself" I said. Courage looked at me in disbelief for a few minutes before he nodded in agreement and laid down so I could jump on his. Once on his back I grabbed hold of his color and said "Grab the hat" He did as I instructed and in moments we made our way towards the red palace.

"tell me Dexter…where is Blossom?" Mandark asked as he held a dagger to my throat. I would have rather died then to have Mandark know where she was or that she was here. So deciding not to cooperate I replied "I don't know! Last time I saw her was when we were little and it was her first visit to Underland!" I knew full well that , that was a lie but I didn't need him to know that Blossom was back. He pulled the dagger away from my throat and turned his back on me.
"Dexter, Dexter, Dexter…if you tell me then we could have a fresh start…we could be friends and rule with the Red Queen." He turned back towards me. A smirk played his lips as he glared at me. He knew that I wasn't going to tell him so he said " If you don't tell me Dex then you know what would happen don't you?" I knew the answer 'Off with my head' but to just get under his skin I replied "Let me go?" Mandark began to laugh and then said "No…decapitation"
"Oh Mandark…I had no idea you could use big words…your so much scarier now then ever" I said sarcastically. Mandark didn't seem amused though. I smiled to myself as he seemed more peeved then ever.
"Funny Dex, very funny but lets see how the Red Queen will like your comedy routine" Mandark said as he glared at me.

Me and Courage continued to head towards the red palace in hope's of saving the hatter…but something told me in my gut that I wasn't going to like it. But I knew I had to be strong and maybe in the end…the Hatter could help me leave this dream world.
