" I can take you to him if you want, but we must me fast." Amy said in a hushed tone. I had a feeling I shouldn't go with her but I did. Amy lead me by my hand and swiftly ran throw the land. I had no idea where we were since I could not see and moving too fast to feel the area. Oh god, I could hear that dreaded music again. The oompa-ommpa one. I knew we were close.
" A very merry unbirthday to you! To me? To you! Let's all congrulate us with another cup of tea! A very merry unbirthday to you!" The mad hatter and his rabbit friend sang at the top of their lungs.
" Tom! Oh, Tom!" Amy yelled. It never really noticed till now but Amy had a strangly familiar voice. It was high pitched with a melody to every word she spoke. I knew I had heard that voice before, I just couldn't pin point where.
" Amy my love! How have you been? Care for a cup of tea?" The Mad Hatter chuckled in somwhat jestering matter.
" Not today Tom. I need you to attach this girls head to her body. The queen had beheaded her." Amy sighed.
" well bring her into my room with the head and a pot of tea and I will see what I can do. I make no promises though." He laughed. Why was he laughing? Does he just always laugh or is there a reason for it this time? I couldn't afford thinking like this though, I needed my head.
" Lie down on the bed and then he can get started." Amy said with a chirp in her voice. I waited lying on the bed fearing what could happen. I know it is not wise to trust a man whoes head is not all there himself with your own. But in this land you have to trust and go against your instincts. If I was to follow all my instincts while I was here I wouldn't have made it this far.
" Just lie back and in a bit your head will be back on tight." The mad hatter laughed. As nervous as I was I just let him carry on.
A couple hours later
I woke up in a daze still in the Mad Hatters room but this time when I opened my eyes I could see. I could see, I could hear but could I talk? I tried to talk but nothing happened. I tried again but nothing. The mad hatter looked over at me with a smile and laughed.
" Here, have a cup of tea. It will help your voice come back." He smiled and handed me a cup with some strawberry tea in it. I took the cup and drank the tea and tried to talk again.
" I can talk! It worked! Thank you Mad Hatter!" I yelled and hugged him. He said nothing but just pointed me out to the door for me to be on my way. When I got outside a girl came and walked over to me, I figured it was Amy.
" I see your head is back with you again." She smiled " Maybe now you can tell me your name?"
" Alice, my name is Alice." I replied. She looked very different then I thought she would. Amy had long black hair that fliped out at the ends with a pale complextion. Her lips were red, red as the blood dripping roses. Her eyes a dark shade of grey with long dark lashes hidden behind bangs. She wore black knee high boots with a slim fitting black dress. On the chest of the dress was a single red heart. The same red heart the queen wore.
" You wear the heart of the queen I see?" I said with a look of suspition in my eyes. She looked at me and sighed.
" I will explain it all to you on the way. We must hurry though Alice, you are in grave danger." She said in a hollow voice.
" How do I know you are not tricking me as you have a connection with the queen some how? How do I know you are not leading me to my doom?" I asked. She flashed a smile and whispered " You just have to trust me." Trust her I did. We started to walk when she stopped and looked at me for a moment.
" You have the most beautiful blue eyes you know? So full of life." She smiled. Those words made me melt. I felt something towards her that I couldn't explain.
