DISCLAMER FOR THE WHOLE ALICE STORIES: I dont own anyone. So, yup. I dont feel like writing this on every chapter.

Stayne

The hunt had begun. I felt adrenalin and pure bliss with this. Frabjous day was quickly approaching. This small fact only made me more excited.

I could never be able to feel this way in the White Queen's court. I will never go back to her court again. I wanted adventure, I wanted power, I wanted to slay things and to show my superiority and worth in this wretched place, but I couldn't. Not with her, for she only held back my potential.

I remembered when I killed a firefly in her palace, she wept for the rest of the night and sent me to my chambers and would not let me out until I learned that all living things are valuable. That is why I went to her, my queen. She has given me everything I wanted, power, control, everything. For now I shall stay with the Red Queen until the time is right to take her crown off her head...permanently.

I could feel her. I could sense her near. I don't know how, but I knew she was close by. It will be so easy to take a child back to the queen, for that is how I remembered her, as a small child.

I could smell the sweat roll off me as I galloped after the hound. He had picked up her sent. I chuckled at myself at the thought of the dog thinking he will be reunited with his family. What a foolish animal.

The queen had plans for her, but, she hasn't yet revealed them to me quiet yet. Our Bandersnatch told us he saw her. He chased her and her friends. Before he could retrieve her, the damn dormouse plucked his eye out. He didn't get a good view of her, but he was sure for one thing, she was Alice. But, of course, he did fail to capture her; his failure will be dealt with later though because for now, I wouldn't let her get away this time from me, never again.

The scenery changed slightly as I rode on wards. The dead and gnarled trees began to thin a bit, taking its place was a large area where the gnarled trees died down and disappeared slightly. In the middle of this twisted forest was a broken down mill. I could feel her, call it instincts or pure hunter knowledge, but I knew she was here, and I would find her!

I slowed down as a table came into my sight. It was a grand, old, and broken down thing. The once cheery white table cloth was now stained with God knows what. Its once perfect corners were now frayed and tatter. I walked over to the three guests who occupied the battered table. I was greeted by the sight of a small mouse, a rabid rabbit, and....of course, the hatter.

"Well, if it isn't my favorite trio of lunatics!", I mocked as I walked closer. As I got closer, the rabbit threw a cup at my head. I quickly ducked just in time as I heard it shattered behind me. I looked at the hair and wagged my finger at him as he began to laugh hysterically as well as the mouse.

I eyed the mouse for a moment and noticed something hanging from his small belt. "So, you were the one who plunked out my Bandersnatch's eye", I remarked in a cool voice. The little mouse stopped his laughed and just squinted his small black eyes that were suppose to be taken as a glare.

"So what if I did, what will you do about it? Ill never it up!" he said in a surprisingly strong voice for such a small creature. I snarled at him and drew my sword a bit. "You would make a wonderful meal for him", I growled in a threatening manner. The mouse just shrank back and kept quiet. The rabbit looked like he would wet himself as he shook so much. I smiled a bit at how intimidated he was of me.

I shook my head and just walked forward, my blood boiling as I approached the hatter. He just sat there, starting at the tea pot in his lap. I spat at his feet. "So, where are you hiding the girl?" I asked in a light tone as I walked to the side of his chair. He wouldn't look at me. "Girl? What girl?" he asked with a laugh. "There isn't any girl here! Say would you like to hear a song about your Queen?" he asked me. Before I could say a word he began to sing as well as the rest of the loons.

Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!

How I wonder what you're at!

Up above the world you fly,

Like a teatray in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little bat!

How I wonder what you're at!

I anger flooded me as I snaked my arm around his neck and flexed my triceps, chocking him in the progress. "If you're hiding her, you'll lose your head. That's a fair trade since you made me loose my eye", I mockingly laughed. He had a hard time breathing since I kept flexing more and more. "Already lost them", he wheezed.

I felt something tug at me as I looked down at the white tea pot in his lap. Something told me to pry the hatter of his pot and peer inside. I started to reach for it; but, before I could open it, the barking sound of the bloodhound, Bayard's bark as he began to run the other way.

"The mutt has the smell", I muttered as I dropped my hand to my side and began to walk back to my horse. "All together now!" he shouted as he began to sing again. I just stormed away, grabbing a cup of tea on my way.

"You, follow the hound. I'm going back to the queen", I ordered the troops as they stormed after the dog. I turned and gave a bright smile to the lunatics. "You're all mad", I chuckled as I threw my cup at the March Hares head. *smack* perfect hit. The rabbit was on the ground twitching as I turned my back to hide my amused smile. The hatter and mouse called to him, but he didn't answer. "Payback is so very sweet", I barked as I mounted my horse and began to ride away.

" Yes it is, but not as sweet as her", A voice whisper in the back of my mind as I rode away.
