Chapter 8 - Going Home

Alice POV

Everyone at the table looked at me then back to Louise. I knew they were all thinking the same thing. "There's only enough for one". I looked at Louise who still looked very tired a sighed.

"Aren't you going to drink it then?" I asked.

"Well, this is all that's left and if I drink it all…what about you?" she stated very quietly but just loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.

"That's the thing love, I'm not coming back with you"

I heard everyone at the table gasp and a couple of small whispers. I let out a breathy laugh.

"What do you mean not coming back?" Louise asked still confused.

"I'm not returning to London, ever. I'm staying here"

"Are you sure Alice?" I heard Tarrant ask from behind Louise.

"Listen everyone" I got up so I could see all their faces. "When I discovered my niece was hear it was by finding her blue hair ribbon and oh.." I pulled out the bowtie. "McTwisp I believe this is yours" I heard a small thank you as he placed it back on his waistcoat. "I sat at that hole for all but 5 minutes thinking over question that I still had to answer and I had none. You see when I left Underland the second time I swore that if I ever returned it would be to stay because I couldn't ever face the prospect of seeing all your faces as I disappeared back up that hole. I couldn't bare to leave you again." I said looking right at Tarrant. "Therefore I'm here to stay, if you don't mind" I asked.

Tarrant stood up and walked slowly over to me. "You couldn't bare to leave me again?" He asked, letting his lisp sound clearly.

I smiled. "Yes, because whether or not you choose to believe it. Ever since you saved my life on that battlefield on the Frabjous day. I had been in love with you." I said it. I told him the truth. I closed my eyes and listened. Everyone had stopped breathing for a second as I said that and were anxiously waiting for Tarrant's reaction.

I stood for a while and soon thought that he didn't feel the same. I opened my eyes to find him staring at me intensely.

"Are you sure? I don't want to do the next thing if your not"

"Of course I'm sure. I have been for 7 ye-" I didn't get my sentence finished because I felt a pair of lips against my own. I smiled and quickly returned it, wrapping my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist. Now I have had plenty suitors kiss me before but it was nothing like this.

We pulled away for nothing but air. I was still smiling widely and I didn't care.

"Good, because I love you too"

Louise clapped and I turned around and started tickling her. "I'll miss you aunt Alice" she said when I stopped.

"Oh sweetheart, when your all grown up you can always come back, I wont have aged a bit" She smiled and turned to all her new friends.

"I'll miss you too"

They all waved and she downed the rest of the vial. She looked at Tarrant and smiled before she hugged him.

"See you soon cricket"

"I'm happy Alice and you both got your happy ending." she said before disappearing before our eyes.

I gasped and pulled my hand over my mouth in shock.

"Alice what's wrong? Have you changed your mind?"

My eyes widened in horror and I looked at him. "No! I was just shocked"

"Why?"

"Is that what I looked like when I disappeared?"

"Pretty much why?"

"It feels weird not to be the one disappearing this time"

I heard them all laugh and I turned back to Tarrant and continuing from where we left off.

Louise POV

"I'm happy Alice and you both got your happy ending." I said before seeing everything turn black and a small hole appear in front of me.

I climbed out of the hole and realised it was the same on I fell down. I got up and cleaned down my dress before heading back to the party.

"Louise! What happened to you?" My mother asked in shock horror.

"I slipped and hit my head."

"Where's Alice?"

I smiled. "She's not coming home mum, ever"

"Where did she go?"

"Underland" was all I said before I headed towards the big house of Lord and Lady Ascot to use their bathroom.

"Underland" I heard my mother whisper before I turned the corner.
