Ok. So I'm not sure how people in other countries read my story, guess they translate...or something :/

BUT! I wanted to shout out to my favorite countries(:

Norway, Denmark, Ireland, and Germany(: I LOVE YOU!

Mirana POV

*knock, knock, knock*

"Tarrant, you must open this door immediately." No answer. "This is senseless Hatter; what you are doing. Your friends have been trying to help for sometime now, and you stay locked up in your house." Still no answer. "Tarrant, I am not one to be violent, but if you don't let me in I have no problem letting one of my servants bust this door down." Nothing. Well, I had hoped I wouldn't have to do this, but it seems to be my only choice. "Zeke, please take down Mr. Hightopp's door."

BAM!

"Now, Hatter where are you?" He is probably hiding in his room. "HATTER?" I spoke loud enough that he should have heard me. Hmm, I guess I should check around the house. Maybe he is sleeping. "Hatter?" Well not in the hat room. Oh this place is a mess. I must admit I was upset when Alice left as well. Poor Tarrant. "Tarrant? AHH! Tarrant! How? Why? Zeke! Please come help me, NOW!" Zeke came running into the room. He screeched to a halt, just appalled as me at the bloody sight on the floor.

"Your Majesty..." I knelt beside his cold body. His knife in his hand, eyes closed, and his throat cut open.

"Help me get him up. If we can get him back to the castle soon enough I may be able to save him, but we must hurry."

"Yes, your Majesty."

"Set him up on my horse. Easy, now."

Alice POV

"Mother, please understand that everything I do in life is to please other people, and for once I am doing one thing that will please me!"

"But why Alice? What would make you want leave your home and your family, forever?"

"I have fallen in love."

"Love? With who?"

"With a man named Tarrant. A wondefully mad man, with bright eyes and hair."

"A mad man? Alice how could you love with a mad man? He could hurt you!"

"MOTHER! He would never hurt me! He is my best friend."

"At least tell me where you are going, please."

"I cannot mother. Just know that I love you. I must go now. Goodbye." I ran out the door. I couldn't let her try to convince me to stay.

Now, to find that rabbit hole. I know it was behind the tree on top of the hill, but which tree?

"Come now Alice, you're late!"

"What?" I looked around and saw nothing, but out of the conner of my eye there was a white flash.

"This way Alice, hurry!"

"Rabbit?" There was no answer, but I decided it would be best to follow.

"Come on Alice, keep up!" I continued to run towards the voice speaking to me. Wait there it is! Should I just jump in? Last time I suffered a rather harsh fall. I didn't see any other choice, so I jumped.

"AHH!" I hit my head on a book case and scratched my knee on the edge of a table, but overall I was ok. I saw the key on the table and made sure to fallow the proper steps this time. Pick up the key, drink the liquid in the bottle, shrink to an abnormal size to where my clothes don't fit, and unlock the smallest door, and proceed. It sounded so silly in my head, but its what I have to do. After I shrank I ran to the door and slowly unlocked it, afraid of what was waiting on the other side. It was just as the last time, but there was no one waiting for me. I wandered around slowly. How would I find my way to Hatter? I remember that his house was in a clearing in the middle of the forest, but where? This is useless.

"Why Alice, I didn't expect to see you back here." I turned to the sound of the voice, but I saw no one.

"Well, I felt the need to come visits some old friends." I turned back around and continued in the direction I was traveling. I am not going to give him the attention he wants. Maybe he'll leave me alone. Just as the thought appeared in my head his bright wide smile appeared in front of my face. "What do you want Chess?"

"Well...I was going to help you find your way to Mr. Tarrant, but you don't seem to be interested in my company."

"No I would love some help Chess, but I have no time for your childish games today." He made a shocked face at me and placed his hand on his chest.

"Meee? Play childish games?" He gasped and disappeared. I could no longer see him, but he continued speaking. "I can honestly say I am truly offended, Alice." I could hear him chuckling.

"Please, if you are going to help than do it. If not why don't you go bother someone who has time to listen to you."

"Now Alice, don't be mean. That wouldn't be any fun would it?" He appeared again with his giant cocky smile. "But since you insist I will leave."

"No wait, Chess, please just tell me where I can find Hatter?"

"He might be at the White Queens castle, but don't take my word on it." He slowly disappeared again, from tail to teeth; his toothy grin lingering for a second. Well, I might as well go to the castle. At least I can see the tower tops from here. I know where to go, and hopefully won't get lost. At least then the Queen can take me to Tarrant's house. I followed an opening in the trees that was in the direction of the castle until I came to a wooded area with trees so tall I could no longer see any part of the towers. If I continue in a straight path, in the same direction. It should put me right at the castles gates. Oh being so small is quite a bother. I could travel so much faster if I was my normal size. Climbing over roots and around rocks. I could already be there by now! I saw a tall slender shadow sneak out from behind a tree. Who could it ...oh no.

"Hmmm Alice, I believe you were much larger the last time I saw you." He growled a bit in the back of his throat and picked me up.

"NO! NO! Put me down now!"

"Hush now, you're coming with me."

"No! I can't I have to see Hatter! I have to find my Tarrant!"

"Don't bother with him anymore, he's dead. He killed himself."

"No he's not! You're lying! Why would he kill himself?"

"Why do you think? You left him. He didn't want you anymore, and he killed himself. You're mine now, Alice."

No he's lying! He is trying to trick me!

"STAYNE! Let me go!" He laughed an evil laugh, like a sort of cackle.

"No, my love. You are coming with me."

OH NO! hahaha wow. it's like BAM! hmm. so Alice is back in Underland, but she is kidnapped by Stayne. How long will he keep her away from Tarrant? Good thing the Queen found him, but did she save him in time? I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. like I said reviews make me happy, and happy author means happy ending(: so tell me watcha think. Oh and I want to thank my best fren Hannah(: for helping me make up my mind about the rest of the story. loves you(: welp...until next time...love ya!
