Thank you again for the review and people who like to just read it.

This is a short chapter I am so sorry.. Next one will be longer.

Don't own the characters..

"Its not some kind of weird leaf tattoo." Hatter sighed and walked over to me. Why does he have a thing with getting all up in my face. "it's a mark." He pointed to the part of my back and where it stretched from there to my lower abdomen.

"I don't belong to anybody!" I pulled on the shirt and buttoned it up, where is he going on about all this. "I want answers now!" He cocked one of those gorgeous eyebrow. "Don't look at me like that."

"Well now someone is being a little bold." He chuckled and walked over to the rack of jackets. "Fine, but we are going to see somebody." What the hell, I don't want to see anybody. He threw a long type of jacket at me. "What?" he paused to and looked me up and down, damn he knew I didn't trust him. "Please put it on." He walked over to the back of the office and opened a door leading outside.

"What about me?" Katie said protesting, if you had to ask me she would only slow us down if she came along.

"You should get some sleep." I smiled at her and walked over to Hatter. "We will be straight back and then go home."

Katie sighed "Promise?" I nod and walk out the room.

I never really had a fear of heights ever, but this is pushing it. I really think Hatter was now trying to kill me, we our taking the most difficult way. There isn't really much walking room. "Is there another way?" I yelled towards him, its not even fazing him! I pinched my eyebrows together. Come on Tori you can do this!

"Down the latter." he pointed

"Hell no." I crossed my arms over my chest.

He gave me a small smile. "Well I will go first and if you fall." he paused and looked over the ledge "I will try to catch you."

"Asshole." I mumbled and walked over to the ledge. Holy shit there is no way I could live, again we are at the very top of this city or whatever you want to call it. "Breath just breath." I got down to my and put one leg over and then the other. It didn't take so long, maybe a good 2 minutes. I felt firm hands go around my waste and guide me to the floor. "Er.. Thanks."

He nodded and kept the lead. I just stood there, the walking space with this little area was worse then any of the others. Lets just say me and hatter couldn't walk beside one another without falling off the cliff. "You okay?" Hatter looked worried

"Uh yeah." I shook off my fears, and started to take one stop at a time. "I'm really considering my fear of heights." I laughed and started to break out in too a full run. I just wanted to get out of this little area, I knew it wasn't smart. I paused and thought a little bit of my past accidents, I have been making a lot of bad decisions lately. "Ow." I ran smack into Hatter.

"Slow it down." he griped my shoulder, to steady me. "You want to hold my hand?" He smiled

"No I got it." I pushed past him and went as far away from the ledge possible. "Where are we going anyways?" I just kept to the wall.

"Where going to see someone very important." He looked over his shoulder, I knew he was starting to get pissed because well I was a couple yards away from him. "You know walking so far away from me isn't safe." Does he really think I need him to protect me, he looks like a normal guy. "Hurry please!" Hatter yelled from across the lawn.

"NO!" I shouted and still took my time. Once I got to him he looked extremely tense and kind of angry looking. "I'm not use to this place at all!" I shouted "I'm sorry that I cant keep up." I paused to look around "And that I'm afraid of heights!"

"Your being very loud." He turned and continued to lead the way. I cant wait to get as far away from this man as possible, he is a real jerk.

Wait………

I stop dead in my tracks. "What if your not telling the truth." I started to go the other way, "what if this important person is the Queen?" Damn how could I be so stupid!

"You still don't trust me!" He shouted and walked to me, "I could never do that to you Victoria!" What he just used my full name! I closed the distance between us.

"Yeah you could." I walked passed him and kept the direction we were heading. Even if he was tricking me and leading me to the Queen, I will be able to find my sister.

These two really need to stop with all this fighting geez.. And hmm why is Hatter so protective over Tori..... I will give you a little answer, well not really a answer more like a fact. He never really loved Alice because.... AH!! I cant tell you guys the secret..

Reviews are better then a very hot con man wanting to protect you...
