Blablyalal – Thinking

This chapter contains some battlescenes , so I hope I describe then nicely. And I made this chapter longer, since the others are quite short.

Hope you enjoy! =)

Cheshire was perched on a tree above Alice. It had been a long day, so the girl was tired. When they had stopped and sat down, she was already asleep. He decided to take watch. You never know what dangers lurk around in the darkeness.

He looked at her. A pleasent sight...Thought Cheshire.

Alice has grown to a lovley young woman, has she not? But it still doesn not explain ,why I harbor such feelings for her. Love is such a complicated thing. Such were the thoughts of the Cat.

He waited for the night to fade away and for Alice to wake up. It didn't take alot of time.

„Morning Cheshire!" said Alice, yawning and stretching. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and stood up, brushing her apron from the dirt.

„Morning."

She signaled him to come next to her and start walking. They didn't have alot to walk anymore, but getting to their first destination, mean't better chances of getting Cauly flowers.

Alice waited for Cheshire and started walking. Since, again, there was nothing to do, they chatted about everything that sprung to their mind.

After walking for 30 minutes, they were infront of a rather large cave. Alice nodded at Cheshire and bravely walked in. She couldn't see much, but did manage to find the right flower.

The danger about getting Cauly flowers, was that if you cut them at a wrong angle, they would spray their poisin on you. If you get poisoned, death follows.

Luckily, Alice had expirience in that, so cutting them was a piece of cake. But getting Vilethorn and Bitterroot was a whole different story.

She approached the flowers and the Vorpal Blade faded into her hand. Kneeling in front if them, she carefully studied the flower with her fingers, before cutting it.

Alice gently picked the flower up from the ground and exited the cave. Chehire waited outside. She went up to him and took a pouch from her pocket. Then put the flower in it and tied it around the Cat's neck.

Then suddenly, a couple of Incidious Ruins appeared from the mud on the ground. They didn't notice the slime in it.

„What! I thought they were all dead with Bumby!" shouted Alice. She clutched her Blade and swiftly attacked one.

She dodged an attack and rushed to attack another Ruin, that was about to stike Cheshire. Cheshire only grinned wider. „I could have taken care of myself, Alice. Don't feel the need to protect me."

Alice smirked and pulled out her trusty Pepper Grinder. She hit a couple, before attacking again with her Vorpal Blade. Teleporting out of the way, she swung her knife with dangerous grace. 2 down, 4 to go.

She moved out of the way, before one of them got a chance to hit her. And leapt into the air, making two of the Ruins collide into eachother.

Meanwhile, Cheshire was dealing with two. He pounced at them with his claws, tearing their faces off. He saw Alice busy attacking one and saw one charge from behind her back. He wasn't fast enough. Alice got hit in the back.

She finished killing the one infront of her, before killing the Ruin behind her. That was all of the monsters.

Alice fell to her knees. The wound on her back was quite deep and large. She cursed from the pain.

It bled heavily and Cheshire took action immedietly. He stood up, transforming into a, well...humanoid looking thing.

The woman looked at him, gaping. No longer was he a cat, but a human looking creature. On top of his hair, which was jet black, were the same ears with the hoop. He still had those charming golden eyes. But no wide grin. Only a worried frown.

His body was the same colour as his mangy fur. The pattern was still there. No longer had he paws, but normal human hands. His fingernails were quite long. His legs were long and skinny. Thankfully he had pants on but he didn't have a shirt. Alice blushed for looking at his well defined chest.

„Alice, get up, were walking outta here." Cheshire took Alice into his arms, bridal-style.

She blushed tomato red at the contact. Said woman looked at his eyes. Full of determanation.

„Chesh..." He looked at her. „Why didn't you tell me before?" There wasn't much explaining in Wonderland. Maybe because it was Alice's world and she understood. Hence, she wasn't asking Cheshire how or when.

„Some things are good to keep secret." He looked stern. No use asking.

Cheshire put Alice down on the ground and looked at her wound. It was still bleeding. He insturcted Alice to take off the top of her dress.

She slapped him.

„Are you crazy? Never!"

That slap was quite strong. He chuckled at her antics and tore off her apron. She blushed.

„Now. Let's find a suitable place." Alice pointed to a tree. It was large enough to cover them. Cheshire wanted to pick her up, but she pushed him away.

„Conserve your energy." Was all she said.

They walked under the tree. Lucky for them, it just started raining. Alice got to her knees.

„Do what you must do." said Alice, wanting to get rid of the wound.

„This may suprise you." Was all that Cheshire said, before he licked the wound with his tongue.

Alice flinched back. It wasn't disturbing, but it just suprised her. She also knew, that his saliva heals wounds.

„Stay still Alice."

This grooming..it stirred up new feelings within Alice. Whatever it is, she liked it. It made her feel happy.

Cheshire ripped the apron and made a makeshift bandage. It would suffice, but not for long. When she finished making the potion, she was going to need professional medicine.

„There, all done."

Alice turned around and looked at him.

„Than-Thank you."

He grinned at her. Then noticed the darkness. It was night.

„Let's call it a day, what do you say?" She giggled.

Alice took another pouch from her pocket. It contained bisquits and cookies. She took a cookie and offered one to Cheshire. He accepted it politley and took a bite.

They soon got comfy. But the night chill overtook Alice and she had to cuddle up to Cheshire, who laid his hand on her.

„Cheshire.." rolled off her tongue. Her hearth was pounding. She hadn't been this close to anyone! He looked at her with gentle eyes.

He then turned back to the stars. Looking at them felt magical, to him atleast.

Alice felt an urge, to make a move on Cheshire. She didn't know why, but did it anyway.

She laid her head on his chest. He looked at her with suprise.

„What?" asked a happy Alice. She asked something later too. „Can I..Can I touch your ears?"

He nodded and her hands moved up to his ears. They started rubbing, scratching, caressing in all the right places. His chest soon started vibrating. Cheshire was purring!

And so, they ended their day like this. Cheshire sensed Alice was sleepy and kissed her head and cheeck.

Alice smiled and hugged him tightly.

„Good night Alice."
