"Stop crying." It all seemed so distant, what they were doing to her, she had begged her father never to let the man take her to school but he himself pushed his own daughter in the car with him. "It hurts." She whispered. Then deciding she couldn't do this any longer, she closed her eyes tight. "Think of someone you'd like to do this to you Alice…" She thought to herself… Cheshire… he hates me… that's all she could keep repeating, anything would be better right now… anything…. Her eyes opened and something shiny caught her eyes, it had blood on it but she didn't care she grabbed it and plunged it into the mans chest then pulled it out and repeatedly did it several hundred more times until her hands and dress were covered in blood, tears ran down her face and she sliced into his arm sawing at the bone, the moment she broke the vein in his wrist she found herself stumbling through wonderland in tears.

"C-C-CHESHIRE!" it was almost a blood curdling scream that left her lips, she fell to her knees at the base of his tree not looking to see if he was in it. "I-I'M SORRY!" she sobbed. "I'm so sorry!" She buried her face in her hands. "Please forgive me." She begged. "P-please.. I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry…"

She herd a soft. "Meow?" almost as if the meow was a question then felt something jump onto her shoulders, she looked up to see Cheshire rubbing against her, he dropped to her lap and put his paws on her shoulders licking the tears away. "Don't cry little Alice.."

He looked at her. "Whats wrong? Why are you so upset?"

"I-I killed him.."

He blinked, he had thought the red on her dress was paint; he was an assassin himself but he could tell that Alice had not wanted to hurt 'him' . He went human pulling her onto his lap and cradling her like a young child or a baby. "Your cut up yourself." He whispered licking her wound; she instantly healed. "Who's him?"

"Jordon…" She replied falling into sobs. "I- I stabbed him"

"Why?"

She buried her face in his chest. "He forced me… to…" She didn't finish before she started sobbing again. A low growl left his chest. "THAT FUCKING BASTARD!"

He kissed her softly and his hand slid up her dress, he could feel her tremble. "Please don't.. it hurts." She whimpered.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He promised, his hand felt something wet running down her leg, he pulled back his hand seeing blood on it. "What, the fuck,…. He made you bleed?' He set Alice down on her back in his tree then spread her legs and slid down her panties, he softly slid his tongue in her licking at the wounds.

She winced his tongue was like sandpaper, but after he pulled away it all felt better.

"No one will hurt you again my little Alice.. your mine now, and your safe.. I promise you." He pulled her close wrapping his cloak around her protectively. "I wont let anyone harm you… not now……. Not ever…" He promised kissing her lips so very softly. "I'll protect you as long as you stay here, with me…."

She buried her face in his chest and cried herself to sleep. When she managed to stop crying in her sleep Cheshire wrapped his tail softly around her waist and went cat curling up around her, even when he was in cat form he was bigger then her. He purred rubbing against her softly when he felt her snuggle into his fur. He loved how small she was… he pulled her closer with his tail his head resting on hers and his eyes surveying the scene, just daring someone to disturb the peace he had right now.
