Ok guys, I am sooooooooo sorry for taking so incredibly long to get this chapter up.
I was really sick for the longest time, and blah blah blah. WELL NO MORE EXCUSES! I'm back now(:
OH and school is finally out so I'll be working like crazy to get this story finished for my wonderful readers! :D thanks ENJOY!
Alice POV
Hmmm. Now where on earth did that letter go off to? I know I set it right here on my desk. Oh bother. Well no time for this now; I have business to take care of.
"Over here stupid girl."
"Absolem?"
"Ugh, who else would it be?"
"Why? I mean, what business do you have here with me?"
"Business, business, business. Is that all life is about to you anymore?"
"I realize now that a girl has her responsibilities and I have…well you don't care. You still haven't answered my question."
"WELL, IF YOU WOULD SHUT UP FOR MORE THAN ONE SECOND I WOULD TELL YOU!" Why is he constantly so rude? Agh, he is hopeless. "I came to inform you of all the problems you're causing in Underland."
"The problems I'm causing? I'm not even the-"
"Will you please keep your mouth SHUT! Goodness, your manners need improvement. The fact that you aren't there is what is causing problems. I'm completely content with you staying here, but the White Queen insisted that I at least informed you of what you are doing." I don't like this. I don't like this at all. I mean, Absolem coming in here and yelling at me. For something I have no idea about. "Hello, are you even listening to what I'm saying to you." I gave him a puzzled look. "A certain Hatter is quite distraught without your presence."
"Oh….Tarrant."
"YES! Stupid girl."
"Absolem, there is no need to be rude. Please keep your snide comments to yourself."
"I will say what I please."
"Fine. Is Tarrant ok?"
"Not in the least."
"What is wrong?"
"Everything."
"Well, what is everything?"
"Must I explain everything to you?"
"I just want to know what is going on!"
"Why you don't care about him. He asked you to stay, and you left him there; broken-hearted. And now he is living a meaningless life without you, and all you care about is this damn BUSINESS!"
"What? NO! I had to come back! I didn't mean to hurt him..."
"You did. He was mad before, now he is useless."
"HEY! Don't talk about him like that!"
"It is simply the truth. I am leaving now. I did what I promised."
"Wait, wait. Absolem."
"Yes?"
"Tell him I am coming. I am coming as soon as I can."
"I will consider it."
"Please Absolem. Please."
"Goodbye..Alice."
Tarrant. MY Tarrant. Is in pain. No, this is not what I wanted. I will leave in the morning, sail back to England, make my final goodbyes, and return to my Tarrant.
Hatter POV
*knock, knock knock*
"WHAT? I've already told ye that I'm in no mood for comp'ny! So get away from my damn door!"
"Useless fool, open this door now. I am not one of your persistant friends."
"Absolem. What makes ye think that I would open the door for ye before I'd open it for one of them?"
"I have news directly from Alice."
"DO NOT TORMENT ME WITH YOUR STUPID GAMES! LEAVE ME NOW!"
"Fine, be how you want, but take this."
"I SAID GO!" What's this? A letter?
Dear Hatter,
Oh how I miss you. I hope you are doing well. You have no idea how hard is has been for me to stay away. I have been gone for maybe a year now, and I can't imagine how you must feel. I promise I am coming back. I hope I'm not causing you pain, but I seem to have gotten stuck in China along the way. It is just wonderful here, but I do miss you. It's not quite the same in Aboveland. Everyone is so boring and typical, and it does get tiring. I have bought you a hat to add to your collection. You will probably think it is boring, but I do hope you like it. I need to tell you something. I'm not going to lie to myself anymore. I love you. I have always loved you, and I greatly regret leaving you. Even though I am having quite a bit of fun here; I feel like I'm missing a huge chunk out of my heart. I don't laugh near as much as I do when I'm with you. My skin burns from going so long without your touch. Whenever you would brush my arm or hold me in you strong arms my heart would beat three times faster. I wish I could tell you these things. AND I WILL! As soon as I see you again. You are wonderfully mad, but I do miss it so. I know you are ok without me. You are strong, and you always last the time. I am afraid of one thing though. I am fearful of your rejection. I know you don't love me like I love you, but I hope you take the news well. I hope it doesn't change your opinion of me. I am returning soon, very soon. As soon as I finish my business trip. As soon as I get back to England; I will return you my love. It shall be a glorious day. There will be tea! I will not leave you again. I promise.
Love,
Alice Kingsley
NO! This is a trick! Who would be evil enough to do this to me?
"AGH! NGH!" All my hats lay on the floor from my fits of rage. My house is a wreck. I am nothing. Absolem is right. I am useless, and I am ready to leave this world. Where is my knife? I put it to my throat. It is my time to go. I cannot wait for my Alice any longer.
Wow...sorry for the cliffy. :/ will Hatter go through with it? Will he die? agh lets hope not(: ALICE IS COMING! Wish her a safe journey and a happy ending by leaving me plenty of reviews! :) constructive criticism is greatly welcomed. Please tell me what you think. There is much to come! I promise! I am back, and will be updating at LEAST one chapter a day...sorry again for being gone so long :( well until next time...love ya(:
