Chapter 4 - Where's Louise
Alice POV
I finished dancing the quadrille with the girls and headed over to my sister and her fool of a husband Lowell.
"Hello Alice, how are you?" My sister asked as I sat down.
"Very well" I looked around for Louise but I couldn't see her. "Um Margaret, where is Louise?"
"Oh she went for a walk"
"Oh right, I think I'll go find her"
"Oh thank you Alice"
I got up and headed around the garden until I saw Lady Ascot. Maybe she has seen my little niece.
"Lady Ascot" I called and walked up to her.
"Alice dear and how are you"
"I'm fine, I was just curious if you had seen my niece Louise?"
"Well I did see her head into the maze a while back"
"Oh thank you"
I ran off towards the maze searching it high and low looking for her. Where on earth could she be? I ran out the end of the maze and bumped into my aunt Imogene.
"Oh Aunt Imogene, hello"
"Looking for Louise?"
"Yes"
"I heard her ranting on about some rabbit a while back, sounded like you a few years back"
My eyes widened in horror. She wouldn't. I thanked aunt Imogene and ran back through the maze and towards the tree. I thought I might have taken a wrong turn but then I saw it. I walked up to it and there was the hole just as I remembered it. My eyes diverged from the hole to a branch on the tree. A blue ribbon hung from it. I picked it up. It was obviously Louise's and next to it was a small bowtie. I let out a small laugh. McTwisp. I picked it up and sat down by the hole, hanging my legs over the edge.
I sat and thought for a while. If I jump down the hole right now, I would never return, ever. I couldn't. I wouldn't have the power in my heart to ever dare try. Leaving Tarrant again would just be horrible. I sighed and brought out the remainders of the Jabberwocky blood. If I were to jump this blood would be for Louise to come home and back to her family. I wont be returning. I went through everything that I needed to do up here. I had completed everything. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I then let myself slide of the edge of the hole and back home into Underland.
The fall was shorter than I remembered. Maybe that was because I knew where I was going and I wasn't screaming. I hit bottom and the room flipped around and I hit bottom again. I shook the dust from my dress and took my hair clip from my hair. I looked at the table but the key was gone, but there was a new bottle of Pishsalver next to an empty one. I looked behind the curtain the find the door already open. Louise is definitely here. I drank the bottle and found myself shrinking to 3 feet. I dragged myself and my dress through the door remembering to grab the Upelkuchen on my way.
