****************************Stayne's narration (Yea I went there!)***********************************
"Is our spy back yet?" I turned to one of my soldiers, a red general that is loyal only to me. Even when that bloody red queen was in power he did only what I told him, and he still does. "No sir, Wait! Look there she is!" Cailean our spy approached, she was set to disguise herself as the Champion Alice Kingsleigh's sister, it had worked so far but she may have to keep it up for a few days more.
Our plan was almost the same as it was almost fourteen years ago. Destroy Alice, but of course soon after the plan was changed all those years ago after we learned that her father had taken the poison in Alice's tea instead of her, and how she had reacted. Never finding any hope in the world, not seeing any color. We decided that it might have been enough to keep Alice away from Underland. But no thanks to that stupid rabbit and the foolish White Queen she found her way back and destroyed the Jabberwocky!
But now I shall kill all those close to her in front of her eyes, and then torturously slow kill her, and make her beg for mercy at my hands. I could almost hear the screams now! How delightful it will be!
"My lord!" Cailean came to an abrupt halt in front of me and knelt. This in my mind is how women should act towards a man. With fear and respect, not as an equal! This will be a new rule when I have taken power of Underland; and then perhaps, when I have all the power and strength I need, I will take over Overland! Such sweet revenge it will be! Alice – an Overwolder – took over my land with her legacy! It's only fair that I shall do the same! But I won't be a fool like her, I shall stay! I shall stay and rule her homelands!
"My lord, we had all but two of the Champion's family and friends!" Cailean reported. All but two?
"You say 'All but two'! Where are those two?" I grabbed her arms and hoisted her up to eye level with me. "Sh- she escaped to Underland! We are unaware of her location at this time!"
I shook her violently, "Who is she? Is she capable of freeing Alice or any of the others?"
"No! No my Lord! She is an old woman! Alice's mother! Her Aunt was unable to attend the wedding; she claimed she was waiting for her prince! But! We still managed to get her. She along with the others are at Salazan Grum!" She rushed to explain.
"They better be!" I hissed as I dropped her carelessly to the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Helen Kingsleigh's narration (Yes I'm still playing around! XD)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even as things were explained to me I couldn't come to believe that Alice's dreams were real! But they must be! I was here was I not? I was having tea in the kitchen with the White Queen herself! "We owe a great deal to your daughter Mrs. Kingsleigh. And so when I heard from my counselor Absolem that Alice was in trouble, I immediately sent a small party to find her and if necessary, bring her back. But things didn't go as planned, sugar?" She said airily.
I gave her a questioning glance, "No thank you, your majesty."
"Please, call me Mirana," I nodded and tried to keep my smile on.
"What exactly didn't go as planned?" She paused in putting sugar in her tea and shook her head a smirk creeping into her features.
"Let's just say that's the last time I trust Thackery with Jabberwocky blood." As if on cue a saltshaker hit the doors behind us.
"Le' me into ma' kitchens ye wee bosom! I go' to finish meh sooup!" It cackled.
I looked back at Mirana, "Thackery?" She nodded and calmly sipped her tea. What a mad world this is indeed!
~~~~~~~~~~Johanna Greer Hightopp's narration~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of Stayne's henchmen approached me. A sinful, lust filled look in his eyes. Well, he won't get what he's after. He took a bottle from his belt and a black cloth and poured the liquid onto the cloth. I'd been here long enough to know just what it was, chloroform. He walked closer to me, I watched him waiting for my chance.
Tarrant on my left was struggling with his bonds, he knew as well as I what he was after, and like me he wouldn't let him have it! The man was directly in front of me; he reached to put the cloth to my nose. But before it reached me I held my breath, brought up my legs and kicked him with all my might!
He stumbled clutching his stomach in pain and crumpling to the ground, several other knights who had been witnesses laughed loudly at their fallen companion on the ground. Behind his gag I saw Tarrant smirking, silly man! Didn't he remember that I could take care of myself? I'm a Hightopp! I could have laughed at this pathetic wimp! In fact I started to! I stopped when I heard Stayne yelling at the man.
"You fool!" He hit him hard on his left temple; "I want them conscious and unharmed when we arrive in Salazan Grum! Now untie them!" Now was my chance! I could escape, I could get help!
But then…I couldn't just leave my brother and his fiancé!
They first untied Alice, then Tarrant. They untied me and dragged me behind Stayne. Without hesitation I leapt forward and wrapped my still chained wrists around his throat, I climbed onto him piggyback style. He twisted in my failing grasp and even slammed me against a tree.
His movements only caused me to tighten my grip. I worked the gag out and spat it on the ground. "Let them go!" I yelled as his henchmen walked foreword to subdue me.
"Let them go or else you won't have your leader!" I yelled. They paused and untied Alice and Tarrant. I sighed in relief and motioned for them to come behind me.
"See ya next fall!" Tarrant yelled as I released Stayne and pushed him into his advancing men. The three of us - now Stayne free - ran as far as we could. Thankfully Stayne had managed to bring us to Underland while we were unconscious.
We ran until we reached Marmoreal, out of breath we banged the double door as hard as we could. The newly darkened skies beginning to rain down on as in laughter, "Let us in!" We cried onto deaf ears. Finally the doors opened. And their stood Iracabeth, the Red Queen. Jesu! We were in a large amount of trouble!
