I meant to put this all up in chapter four but I forgot so here it is! Please read the following NOTICE:
First I want to say I'm extremely sorry for the long wait. Next I want to thank two of the reviewers for setting me straight about two of the details in this story.
When I started writing this story I had no idea what Alice's last name was then I thought I knew it so I used the last name *Liddell* which it is not, it is in fact ~Kingsley~ which I will be using from now on and change in the earlier chapters (thanks to one of your reviews =) Also anther one of you told me the reason the Mad Hatters name is Tarrent and not Terrance. Apparently Tarrent in Scottish Gaelic means 'storm' and I have to admit that does fit him better so I will go through and change his name back .THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED YOUR REVIEWS PUSH ME TO KEEP WRITING. PLEASE CONTINUE TO R & R =).
CHAPTER FIVE
Hamish's eyes gave off an eerie glow as he sat at the candle lit table in the old gypsy's tent. "Now do we have an agreement? I'll pay you half now and half after you finish your part of the deal." Hamish said to the old gypsy woman who sat across from him. The old gypsy woman smiled and nodded her rotting teeth and garlic breath nearly knocked Hamish out. Hamish tried to hold down his breakfast, it was a hard fought battle but he finally won."Okay here's what you need to do, I want you trick the guy in the brightly colored clothes into drinking this vile. If there's a girl with him make sure that she doesn't see you. Can you do that?" Hamish asked the old gypsy woman nodded.
"Okay here's the first payment. I'll come back with the second payment when your job is done." With that Hamish left the tent and walked down the road to where he had had his driver wait for him. Hamish climbed into the carriage and told the driver to go the Kingsley residence.
"I only have less than 48 hours left to stop the wedding so this had all better go according to plan." Hamish thought to himself all the while making sure that he was holding on to the handle above his head so he wouldn't bounce around so much this time.
Finally they arrived and Hamish was ready for battle. Hamish had his driver stop at the clear end of the Kingsley driveway so no-one would be able to make out his carriage, then he walked up to the Kingsley's door and knocked loudly before stepping back. After a couple of seconds the butler opened the door, "May I help you Sir?" The Butler asked. "Yes could you ask Mr. Tarrent to come outside for a minute please." Hamish said.
"I'm sorry sir but Mr. Tarrent and Miss. Alice have gone for a walk along the courtyard and are not back yet. Shall I give them a message for you?" The butler said. Hamish shook his head, "No message thanks anyway." Hamish said before he turned around and walked down the steps and down the long driveway to his carriage and climbed in. "Okay old woman you had better do your piece!" Hamish muttered to himself. "Take me home driver!" Hamish hollered to his driver.
"Are you sure that you won't regret what you have set into motion?" Hamish's good conscious said before shutting itself away mentally."Of course not! He deserves what he's going to get and we deserve the girl!" Hamish's evil conscious said. For once though Hamish hesitated, "Am I really okay with this plan?" Hamish questioned himself. "I know that I have hurt people before but …to go this far." Hamish chewed his bottom lip.
"Oh come on! Are you really trying to back out of this now?! Well you can't remember. Besides you deserve that girl."Hamish's evil conscious said. "Her name is Alice, A-L-I-C-E, not that girl and in all honesty I don't love her, I'm just mad that she chose him over me!" Hamish burst out in anger. His evil conscious mentally shut himself away leaving Hamish alone with his thoughts and feelings.
"What have I done?" Hamish cried out. "Driver take me back to…" Hamish's world started to spin and a soft voice seemed to be calling his name. "Mother?" Hamish whispered his throat feeling soar his head dizzy as his world continued to spin into utter blackness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ugg my head." Hamish moaned as he tried to sit up. "Careful you hit your head pretty hard when you fell." His mother's voice said. "What…where am I?" Hamish questioned as he tried to open his eyes. "You're in the gazebo at your and Alice's surprise engagement party." His mother's voice said.
"What? No that's impossible I was just in the carriage…" Hamish's eye's finally opened and the last of his sentence was lost as he found directly in his line of vision Alice holding hands with some guy in strange clothes with many colors. Hamish jumped up, "No! I refuse to go through all of that again!" Hamish hollered as he ran away from Alice and the guy she was with, he pushed through the crowd of people and ran as far away as he could leaving a very stunned and startled crowd of people in his wake.
