Thanks for all the reviews! I don't think this chapter is as good as the rest, but I hope you enjoy it!
...
"Oh no!" I gasped.
"It's the girl!" The cards yelled.
I ran towards the gate but two cards grabbed me by my arms!
"Help!" I yelled. "Get off me! I never did anything to you!"
"Your mother did!" The card snapped.
Then I kicked the cards off of me!
"Ow! Why you little bi-"
"I've got you Arielle!" Mally said as he poked the eye out of the card.
"McTwisp! Where do I go?" I screamed.
McTwisp was fighting with one of the cards. Then Chez floated next to me.
"Go to The Mad Hatter! He'll take care of you!"
I was about to run off but then I paused. "Thank you Chez."
"Go!" He yelled. And then I was off.
I ran down the nearest path. I had no idea where I was going or where The...um...Hatter, was but I just wanted to get out of here! Then I heard somthing...voices?
"Cards!"
I hid behind the nearest tree. The cards where chasing after me but they didn't see me hiding.
There was a man with them...He had black hair and a back eye patch on his left eye in the shape of a heart...
"She ran away? The little..." He paused. "She's thirteen! How can you let the child get away?" The man yelled
"Stayne! She had McTwisp and Mallyunkum and that cat helping her!" The card pleaded.
"Ugh...Round them up! Send them to the Red Queen! She'll figure out what she wants to do with them...I swear, do I have to do all the work around here? If you let her get away again I'll make sure the Queen loses your heads!" The man said. Then they walked away.
So this Stayne guy works for the Red Queen. I'll make a mental note to stay away from him.
...
I saw little gate that said Mad Hatter.
I don't won't go among mad people...but if he knows the way home, I have no choice.
I opened the gate.
Thats the longest table I've ever seen! That thing could probably stretch around the world! There where a million different shaped tea pots all down the table, and little cookies as well. Must be a tea party...But I wasn't invited, but I'm sure Mr. Hatter won't mind.
I walked to the very end of the table. There was a man. He looked like he was asleep. He had wild orange hair and eye brows. He had a very odd perspective in clothing obviously...and his face was very pale, I wonder in he's ill... And he had a giant hat on. I looked like it had been worn out, it had a pink ribbon around it with a few needles attached.
Wait a minute...this place is starting to become more and more like that story mom told me, I've met the rabbit...the small mouse...the smiling cat...and this must be the Mad-
"Hello?"
I gasped. He had the most brightest green eyes...brighter than the Cheshire Cat... "Oh! I'm sorry sir...did I wake you?"
"Alice?" He asked. This man must have know my mother too.
"Um..no sir." I mumbled. I can hardly see anyone mistaking me for my mother, I look like my father...
He frowned. He looked as if he were day dreaming...
"You wouldn't happen to be the Mad Hatter?" I asked.
Then he smiled, but I could tell he wasn't on the inside. "Why yes! Please sit, would you care for some tea? I haven't had a guest for a while"
He poured some tea in a cup and handed it too me. "Yes, thank you."
"I see your one of the few that haven't been captured by the queen" He said.
"Um yes..." I was dying to know how he knew my mother! "Um, who's Alice?" I asked.
He frowned again. "Oh, just a old friend of mine, well not anymore..." He looked down. "...she never came back..."
"Well, I'm sure she wanted to. "She's been so busy she hasn't had time to come back to Wonderland."
The hatter stared at me, amazed. "Wonderland?"
Oops...
"Oh...um...I mean Un-Underland!" I mumbled.
He placed his hand on my shoulder. "You said Wonderland dear. Thats what...Alice...used to call it...Um, whats your name?"
"Arielle" I smiled.
Then he looked at the heart shaped locket I had on my neck, the one that someone gave me when I was born...
"Arielle!" He cheered. "It's you! Your Alice's daughter!"
"How does everyone know me here?" I asked.
"Oh everyone does my dear! McTwisp checks up on Alice once and a while, but he hasn't in a while. And when we all went to check up on her, thirteen years ago, you had just been born! That locket on your neck? I gave that to Alice to give to you!" He laughed.
"I never knew who gave it too me...But this doesn't make sense...mother told me she didn't know who gave it to me...she was lying..."
"Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?" He asked.
"Um..."
"Haha!" He laughed.
Then his voice turned Scottish. "Now that you've come you can destroy bloody big head..."
"Bloody big head, meaning the red queen." Said a familiar voice.
"Chez!" I cheered. "Where are the others?"
Chez frowned. "The cards took them...And hello Tarrent!"
"Tarrent? Is that your name Mr. Hatter?" I asked.
He smiled. "Yes!" Then he looked at Chez and frowned. "Hello Chez..."
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
I could tell they rather didn't like each other...
"Nothing that you should be alarmed about my dear." Tarrent said still looking at Chez.
Then we heard a faint noise in the distance...
"Stayne!" Chez alarmed us.
Then Tarrent looked from some thing in his coat pocket. "Ah ha!" He cheered. He was holding up a bottle with some clear colored liquid.
"Drink this dear!" Tarrent whispered.
"But what-"
Then he shoved the liquid in my mouth. It taste rather odd.
Woah! I hadn't even realized it! I shrunk! I'm about as tall as my finger!
"Hide in here!" Tarrent said quickly. He grabbed my tiny waist and shoved me in a tea pot!
I heard foot steps coming near the table. Then someone talk.
"Well, if it isn't my favorite Mad man." Stayne remarked.
"Hello Stayne..." Tarrent whispered.
"I'm looking for the little one...Arielle? She happens to be Alice's daughter. That must mean Alice forgot all about you! Haha!" Stayne laughed.
I peaked through the spout of the tea pot.
Tarrent frowned. "Um..I don't know what your talking about..."
"Would you like some tea?" Chez asked.
Stayne rolled his eyes, still looking at Tarrent. "Oh Tarrent. Why hide it? Everyone in Underland knows you fancied Alice."
I gasped quietly. Tarrent loved my mother? I couldn't believe this!
I had a million emotions running through me. One, being angry. I had just met the man and I figure out he is in love with my mom! And two, guilt. No wonder he missed her so much...he's been in love with her...
Tarrent didn't say anything.
"As you know the Red Queen has come back, she's much more powerful and won't go so soft on you if your hiding the girl. I'm sure she'll take great pleasure in taking off your head herself." Stayne said coldly.
Then he started to walk off. "Your choice."
...
Was it okay...? I know it's not my best...Please review! What should happen next? I'm running out of ideas! :(
