We stood in the throne room, Hatter by my side as Alice stands in a large strange ball. March walks to the queen and whispers something in her ear, she then looks to me and stands. Walking over she says "how could I have not seen it before? Those big blue eyes, just like Chester's. Now girl, will you do what he refused, to save yourself?" I scowl and answer "I'd rather die than let you to live forever, besides, unlike some, I'm not a traitor" she laughs and says "I see you inherited his stubborn loyalty. Tell me girl, how is old Chester doing? Still alive? what are you to him anyway?" I force all emotion from my face and say "he's dead and am his granddaughter, by the way my names Jackie, not girl" she gives a slight laugh to this.
She then turns to Hatter and says "you have been assisting the enemy of my court. You will give us information in exchange for your life" he says nothing to her "if not for your own life, then for your little girlfriends, hum?" he looks to me and I give a small side smile, he then spits at her and says "go to hell you fuckin bitch" she wipes away the spit and says "take him to the tortured chamber and get out of him what you can" as Suites come to take him, he jumps forward and captures my lips in a fiery, passion filled kiss, they tare his lips from mine and he shouts to me "see you on the other side, baby! auntie Flora's gonna love ya!." I can only smile, with tears as he leaves, perhaps for good.
The queen then goes to her husband and asks "why is she in that contraption?" the king then leans in as they begin to whisper and she then turns to Alice's dad, Carpenter, and asks about Alice and if killing her would bother him. I can see the heartbreak on Alice's face as he says "why should it?" I cant help but shout "because she's your daughter! Your Jellybean!" they just ignore me. The king took the queen aside as they began to whisper once more.
She then returns to her chair and announces " I have decided that the girl shall be sent back to her world. For the harsher sentence of banishment is more appropriate." I sigh in relief that Alice will be in the safety of the other world. She then concurs "now as for you, my son. You will spend the night in the eye room so that all of Wonderland can see you for what you really are, and in the morning you shall face the excusers axe." I look to her and shout "you heartless bitch! He's your son! You'd kill your own son to set an example? And you! You're his father, help him! for fucks sake I don't even like him, but even am defending him. You need to grow a spine and you need to grow a fuckin' heart!" then suddenly a pain surged through my skull and it all went black.
When I woke I was tied to a chair with Mad March standing in front of me. My head hurt but only for a moment, then I asked "where am I? what happened?" he took a step forward and said "your in one-a da' touchier chambers and a Suite hit you on da head coz a dat big mouth of yours." I crocked my head to the side and said "you goanna kill me now?" he shakes his head and said "maybe later, but for know I thought we could have some fun." he pulled a knife out and I said "our idea's of fun are really very different" he chuckled at my comment and said "your funny, I kinder like you. It's a shame really that I'll have to kill you, but course, if you jus gave queeny what she wants, we could make quite a team." I look up at him and simply state "I already got a team, but thanks anyway" he nods his head in disappointment.
I ask him "Alice an' Hatter?" he takes a step forward, spinning his blade "the broads bein' taken home and Hatters in the other chamber down the hall. If your real quite, you can hear him scream" he chuckles again as I laugh with him he asks "what's so funny?" I just grin as I see my hands begin to disappear, till my toothy grin and bright blue eyes are all that he can see, then their gone to.
I struggled to get out of my restraints even as he spun round thinking I'd escaped already. I cut my wrists as I finally scurried out of the chair, I was just about to reach the door when a pain erupted from something grabbing my hair hard and tight, pulling me back against a hard chest, with a blade securely at my throat as I turn visible once more. "nice trick sweet heart, but am a blood hound and your blood smells so sweet" he whispers into my ear.
He pulls me by my hair as he walks me out of the room and I ask "where you takin' me?" he just walks me into a room that looks like the inside of a green lava lamp. I hear giggling then something spark with a shout, as we turn the corner I see Hatter tied to a chair, his trademark hat and coat missing, his sleeves rolled up, brown hair sticking up every which way, with a black eye, bruising on his hansom face and blood dripping down his sweet neck as two bald men stand beside him, one tazerered him in the side as he lets out a yell.
I screamed "LEAVE HIM ALONE" then March pushed me to the floor at Hatter's feet and ordered the other two to leave "what ya think kitty? The touchier look suites 'im right?" he chuckled. I ignored his comments and took Hatters face in my hands "Hatter? Look at me, are you ok? Speak to me please!" I began to sob and he said "Jackie?" as if unsure whether I was real or not, then smiled as March said "where's da grate library Hatter?" his smile vanished as he gave March a stern knowing look that screamed 'NEVER' "yeah, didn't think you'd crack. So I guess there's no point in keeping you alive, but first tell me…do you think whatchin you, da way I watched Flora, will make your girl like me? I hope so, coz we'll make a grate team. don't look so worried kid I'll take care of your kitty-cat." he announced with a large chuckle and a spin of his blade "goodbye Hatter" he said almost solemnly.
Hatter took a long concerned look at my tear filled face, then kicked me back quickly as March came at him with the knife. As March attacked Hatter flew back off his chair and then started to defend himself with it, eventually he manoeuvred the chair so that March would cut his restraints, then punched him, coursing his porcelain rabbit head to crack and shatter.
As March fell to the floor I stood and went to Hatter taking his hand in mine. We looked down at the man before us as he muttered his last words "d…do you…th…think …Flora….w…will forgive me…if I ma…ke it to he…aven?" I hear Hatter say as he stands beside me "cause she will, you know auntie Flora, always forgiving and never regretting, you'll be fine" I glanced to him and saw tears "you...t…turned out good…kid, she'd b…be …so…p…proud." with that his mechanical head lobed to one side and Hatter's grip tightened on mine as he mourned the man his uncle once was and his last moments returned to be.
