When she wakes up, the girls are eating breakfast.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" she shouts at them. Victoria looks at all the delicious food, crumpets that aren't burnt, delicious eggs, golden hashbrowns, with perfectly toasted toast. Her stomach grumbles at the thought of all that food instead of the horrible food her and her father cooked. Levi holds out a plate for her. Her eyes widen and takes the plate desperately.
"Thank you!" She shrieks excitedly. Victoria scarfs down the warm food and finishes with an unlady like belch. She giggles and pushes the plate forward.
"That was good!" She comments.
"Oui. I helped cook it," Antoinette informs.
"Well it was tres bon."
She looks surprised,"You speak the language? It's jolie couramment."(pretty fluent)
"Oui. Mon ami m'a appris."(Yes my friend taught me)
"Oh, quite nice. Fluent," she approves with a smirk. The rest of the girls eat their food and place them in the sink.
"Tot ziens broer," Bella says with a good bye wave.
He nods,"Veilig reizen zus."
"What did you say?" Victoria whispers to Bella.
"Good bye brother. And he said safe travels sister," she replies in a whisper. We walk out and take a look at the town. It isn't as beautiful as the actual castle but it is still quite beautiful
"So we go to the castle non?"
"Can I visit my friend?" Bella asks.
"Who is your friend?"
"His name is the Hatter. He's a bit crazy though," she admits.
"His real name?"
"Nikolai."
Victoria nods and follows her to a small, bright looking shop on the corner of the street. It has pictures of varying hats on the sign, which is a bright green. They walk in.
"Anya is that you?" A deep voice says from the back of the shop.
"Nikolai, it's Bella."
"Oh. I'm in the back," Nikolai urges.
When they get back there they see a young man, in his mid twenties, making a rather large top hat. He himself is wearing a large top hat with a card stuck in the hat sash. It's old looking and tattered but oddly matches his look. He dons a large fur coat with a pale purple shirt under it. He has pictures of a girl strewn about the room in a disorderly manner. It's a beautiful young girl, who is about his age, with long white, silver hair. She had a scarf on and a rather large nose but still beautiful.
"Still after Anya I see," Bella says as she takes a picture in hand,"This ones new."
"Yes I am and yes it is. She visited last weekend."
Bella nods,"Well I just came to visit. We have to be off to see Miss Alice."
"Miss Alice? Oh tell her hi from the Hatter."
"Okay," Bella assures and walks out of the shop. All of them walk far to the white gates of the castle. It's constructed of intricate metal swirls and knots. Lili sings some notes and the gates open. She smiles and saunters in with pride. They have a short way to walk before they encounter the pearl white doors that lead to the Queen's domain. Victoria breathes in sharply as she opens the doors. The light almost blinds them at first. Everything in the room is white, from the tile, to the supporting beams. The queen is sitting on a white throne.
"Lili? Is that you?"
The little girls voice rings throughout the large room as she kneels down,"Yes it is me, Lili Rose Zwingli, sister of Vash Zwingli."
The queen smiles brightly,"Guards, can you bring Vash out?"
Some burly looking men that had been standing by her side dissappear, coming back a few moments later with a young man a bit older than Lili. She gasps and runs up to him gushing over how much she's missed him.
The queen smiles even wider,"And what are you here for Bella?"
"I have come with my friend, Victoria, so she can go back to her kingdom. She calls this kingdom 'England'. I don't know where it is but she wants to get back there Miss Alice."
"Ve," she smiles and opens her before closed eyes. Victoria takes a look at them. They are brown and bright. Her eyes are like a duplicate of hers.
"I know of this England though I have never been there."
"And you can send me back?" Victoria asks excitedly.
"Yes, I can actually."
"As soon as possible please."
Right then, the red queen bursts through the doors. The Jabberwocky curls around her body like a serpent waiting to strike it's prey. Elizibeta smiles evilly.
"I've been wating for this moment Alice," she cooes.
The white queen stands up,"Please Elizibeta. Don't be rash about this. Put away the Jabber-"
"No!" Elizibeta cuts her off,"I will not listen to you!" She hisses and points at her. The Jabberwocky darts towards the white queen and she tries to shield her face when it collides with her white dress. Blood bursts from a puncture in her stomach, staining her white surroundings. She gasps in excruciating pain and attempts to get up but to no avail. Vash runs over to her and rips open the rip in the dress. Victoria runs down a hall to the right of the throne as the Jabberwocky chases after her. She runs into a room labeled, 'Weaponry'. She grabs a regal looking white sword, and steps back out of the room. Victoria dashes out to face her opponent to see the thing cornering Lili and Bella. Bella is cradling the crying girl, crying herself. Victoria growls and runs towards it.
"Not my friends. Not today," she screams before she slices at the creatures skin. It screeches in pain and arches it's back. It turns to see the her holding the bloody white sword, motioning for it to attack her. It scratches it's long claws at the girl's skin, making a new wound weep scarlet. She smiles and stabs the serpent in the eye. Again, it screeches in pain and retreats to it's mistress.
"What did she do to you poor dear?" she cooes at the thing. Victoria scowls at her kindness to the creature. She runs to the queen and slices at her perfect red and black dress. It creates a long slit down the front revealing a new gash down a good length of her leg. It creates an effect of red paint running down an easel. She smirks at Victoria and simply points at her slowly. The Jabberwocky growls again and dashes at Victoria. She grins at the serpents impending doom as she delivers his death blow, chopping it's head off. It rolls at her feet and she shoves the sword into it victoriously. The red queen falls on her knees by the limp body.
"No, my dear Jabberwocky. How could this happen to you dear?"
She lifts her face and stares at the smirking Victoria.
"You! You did this to my baby!" She shouts angrily. She slowly stands up. Elizibeta walks towards her menacingly. Victoria panics and grabs the sword out of the head. Stabbing it at the red queen, she hits her stomach and blood stains her dress. She falls limp and hits the floor. The red queen is dead.
Victoria runs over to the still bleeding white queen.
"So how can I help?"
"Go back home," the white queen replies.
"How?"
"Close your eyes and wish."
The last thing Victoria sees is the queen's smile. She closes her eyes and wishes, she wishes as hard as she can that she was back home. With father, and Francis and before she knows it, she's falling yet again.
