Chapter 6 - The History of Underland

Alice POV

I made my way through Tulgey Wood, saying hello to the flowers as I passed them. I also noticed that they bowed for me. I giggled and continued on my way.

"Another stranger?" I heard a familiar voice call from behind me. I turned around. The cat's eyes widened and he broke out in a large grin. "Alice, thee Alice. How very nice to see you again dear"

"Chessur, its nice to see you as well, have you by any chance seen my niece?"

"Well, I might have done"

"Where is she?"

"She went that way. With Mally and Nivens" He pointed his paw to the right.

"Thanks, um do you mind coming?" I asked the cat.

"I would love to"

We walked through the woods until it was getting dark, for a moment I thought we were lost until I saw a small gap in the tree's. It looked familiar but yet unfamiliar. I looked at Chessur who looked a little of guard. I walked into the clearing and immediately knew where I was. It was the place that the Red Queen destroyed when she stole the crown from Mirana, the White Queen. Not just that but she also destroyed Tarrant's family and friends in this sacred place.

"Maybe we should leave, this place brings back memories" Chessur suggested. I shook my head, tears were falling down my face.

"Chessur, we have to do something about this place, clean it up, rebuild it"

"Alice, we can't organise this on our own, come on we would need all the white guards and red and maybe even members of the court."

"Remind me this is on my 6 impossible things list to complete" I got up and headed in the opposite direction from where we arrived.

"Of course miss Alice" I heard Chessur purr before he appeared on my left shoulder.

"Perhaps, we should go to the tea party now" I asked and Chessur nodded.

"I believe so"

We headed on the path that had appeared before us. Chessur started to lead the way through the woods until we came to yet another clearing but this one wasn't a tea party, it was a empty field. I looked up a Chessur confused by our new discovery.

"Where are we now?" I asked.

"I do believe this used to be where the Queen would host the annual Futterwacken competition during the Tumtum festival"

"The Tumtum festival?"

"Remember in the Jabberwocky poem, there was a line. "and so he rested by the Tumtum tree and stood awhile in thought." ?" he asked.

"Oh yes I remember why?"

"Well, the Tumtum festival was an annual 7 day festival. Every night there would be a different form of ball with different entertainment. On the 7th day there would be a Futterwacken competition which was held here and 7 contestants would battle it out to wear the crown."

I smiled. "Who won?"

"Oh Tarrant always took away the crown."

"Ah so that's what you meant when you said that Tarrant was the life of the party and that he did the best Futterwacken in all of Witszend"

"Yes, he was the best"

"Well, we should start that up again. Another addition to my new list"

"Yes, that idea is splendid miss Alice"

"Shall we be on our way?"

"Yes, we shall" I smiled and followed closely behind Chessur as he started to move.

"So what else happened in Underland before the Red Queen's tirade?"

"Well, there was the Tumtum festival, also the White Queen also had a mad day. Where everyone would be completely and utterly mad"

"Aren't you always like that?" I asked.

"Well you see, we have to be sane sometimes Alice, but this day, not a single resident of Underland did a single sane thing. It was very amusing"

I laughed. "I would have loved to see Tarrant on that day"

"He was the worst"

"Anything else?"

He thought for a moment. "Fancy dress. Now that day was fun"

"What happened?"

"Everyone would dress up as someone else from Underland and then we would all gather in Marmoreal and each resident would stand up and we would all try and guess who he or she was"

I laughed again. "Sounds like fun"

"Oh it was…any more additions?"

"Two I think"

Chessur grinned and looked up. "And we are here"

I looked up to find the clearing of the Tea party and there sitting on the Mad Hatters lap was Louise.
