Alice slid out from under the bed, to find the Hatter had already pulled her from under the bed and into his arms. She felt the Hatters arms wrap around her waist and pull her closer. She pulled her arms from under his and brought them up around his neck. Alice entangled her fingers in his tangled mess of hair. The Hatter tightened his hold around her waist and pulled her even closer.

She rolled on top of the Hatter deepening their kiss even further. She felt his tongue lick her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She gladly opened her mouth. She moaned as their tongues danced, they seemed to be perfect dance partners. The Hatter moved from her mouth and started leaving hot, gentle kisses down her face, stopping at her neck.

"You know, we shouldn't probably feel this way for each other." The Hatter said in between kisses.

"Yes, we should definitely stop." She said agreeing with him, but not wanting him to stop. He brought his face up to the same level as hers and looked into her eyes. She looked into his eyes and saw the one thing she didn't expect.

"My dear Hatter, why in any world would you be frightened?" She asked in a sweet voice.

"The same reason why a raven is like a writing desk, I don't know." He said playfully; not wanting Alice to become worried about the future. She smiled at his madness and leaned forwards, closing the distance between them. She pressed her lips against his, soft at first, but then the kiss became hungry. She pulled herself as close as she could get to him with hurting her poor Hatter. He is definitely hiding something from m, but what? Why would he, of all people, hide something from me? She pulled away from him and placed her forehead against his.

"Finally, I'm the perfect size." She said remembering the letter. Alice could be quite devious sometimes, as she tried to pry out what was wrong with him. She knew that if he was hiding something from her, it must be either very grim, or a surprise for her. She desperately hoped he had a surprise for her.

The Hatter removed his arms from her waist when he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He pulled Alice up as he jumped to his feet, not wanting someone to see the awkward position they had been in. Alice stepped forward and looked out the door that was still left open. The door was pushed to open more just as Alice became very close to the wood of the door. She was abruptly pushed backwards from the force the door had placed on her face.

The Hatter almost jumped towards Alice to examine her face. He looked at her face and gasped at the red liquid coming from her nose. Her nose seemed be crooked, and he became very worried. He reached up and gently touched the bridge of her noise to see if it was ok. She jumped back and clutched her hands over her nose, realizing it was broken.

"Oh dear Alice, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have opened the door that quickly!" The Queen said as she walked into the room; noticing Alice's sorry state.

"Oh no, I'm perfectly fine. There is no reason for you of all people to be sorry. I should have not been so close to the door." She said, brushing off the apology from the Queen. The Hatter stepped closer towards Alice, placing an arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

The Queens eyes widened in surprised curiosity at their closeness. The Hatter saw her facial expression and turned his head to the side to see her. The Queen glanced at the Hatters eyes and immediately became worried. She looked towards Alice who was looking at her bare feet and was breathing from her mouth, rather quickly. Alice had felt her blood betray her as it jumped to her face to show her embarrassment. She started breathing at a slower pace, trying to calm herself. The Hatter turned his gaze back towards Alice. He kneeled down in front of her and looked at her face with concern.

"Alice are you quite alright? Your lungs seem to have become greedy for more air." He said confused at why any organ of hers would become greedy so quickly. She moved her gaze towards the Hatter face and couldn't help but smile. She always imagined her face like that in when she was in almost all of her classes. The eyebrow scrunched together, eyes looking around quickly, mouth hanging open at an awkward angle.

He saw her smile appear on her face again and her breathing return to its normal pattern. He smiled at how she seemed to be made happy so easily sometimes. He brought himself back to the right level, and turned around towards the Queen, who was waiting patiently for their 'moment' to end. She looked away from the bed she was studying and looked at the Hatter.

"If I may ask, why are you here?" The Hatter asked politely. She looked at him and then remembered why she actually was there.

"Oh, I have come because was looking at the Oraculum and well, things did not look very pretty." She said shaking her head. Alice looked towards the Queen with a look of pure shock.

"What is going to happen?" She said, wondering at what was so bad. The Hatter turned to face Alice with an expression that would frighten the Bandersnatch.

"Something that was never supposed to happen my dear." He looked into her eyes with a look of pure sadness and regret. Alice took her hands from her nose and placed them gently on his face. He felt something he didn't ever want to feel. He felt something warm touch his face, which must have been on Alice's hand. He felt the warmth travel in a line, down the side of his cheek. He grabbed her right hand from his cheek and looked at it to find what he thought would be there.

A small pool of his Alice's blood. He looked from her hand to her face, not realizing how angry he must have looked. Alice saw the look on his face and cowered as though she thought he might have struck her. He saw her reaction and his glare immediately softened. He pulled his hand from hers and placed it on her face.

He pulled her back up into a standing position and looked at her with an apologetic expression. She understood that he wasn't angry with her, but with the door that had, in fact, broken her nose. She pulled her hands from his face and hand and wiped them on her dress. She then looked back at the Queen who, yet again, seemed to have zoned out and was staring at the bed.

"Alice, you remember the Queen and Knave of Hearts?" The Queen asked, still looking at the bed.

"Of course, it's rather hard to forget." She said with a confused expression on her face.

"Well, the Queen and Knave have been separated. And, we found my sister, but…..um, well; she has informed me that the Knave is planning on returning. And finishing what my sister started." The Queen said with a look that made the one that Hatter had moments ago seem like a cheerful smile.
