Chapter 11
The plain ride back to England wasn't very enjoyable, for one the White Rabbit had to be in the cabin, unable to let humans see her true form; she had taken the form of a small white rabbit. Of coarse her Alice didn't like it, but he couldn't complain.
Luna sat looking out of the window; Nikita clearly wasn't one for planes but didn't complain, she was busy on the phone. Something kept bugging the young girl. Her dreams were more vivid and blood thirsty and it made her feel sick.
Was this even worth it all?
"You OK?" She looked over to see the young man smiling at her, he handed her a drink and she accepted it with a small smile of her own.
"Not really sure to be honest. I just wanted to find her" She spoke "I never though it would get like this. Like so many people would get hurt"
"Unfortunately you can't help that" he sighed
"I'm sorry I don't think I introduced myself" Luna spoke
"Names Alistair" He smiled "And I know who you are" He spoke as he looked at the teen. "Things will only ever get better; sometimes you have to go though the worst till you see the brighter side"
Luna nodded as he patted her head and went back to watching the movie, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, oh how ironic that was.
Charles Moran sighed as he entered his home, throwing his coat onto the banister and undone the first couple of buttons on his shirt.
"So Alice, you're finally home?" Came a voice, he looked over to see a woman appear from the shadows, she was covered in blood and he was sure it wasn't all her own blood at that.
"Where did you go?" He asked sternly, he thought the point of summoning the creature was so that he could keep an eye on the beast.
"I went … out" She smiled, showing her razor sharp teeth as he sat upon the sofa before her form shifted into the small house cat he had found. "The rumours are true, The Hatter is defiantly back in the game" She spoke, which he personally could never get used to. "So I'm sure it won't take long for the others to appear" She added.
He stared at the creature that sat in front of him; it never failed to amuse him of how far it was willing to go to achieve his dream. He had meet the demon when walking home one day, it had just appeared in his house, looking at him as if expecting him to do or say something.
Since that day, as long as he plaid along with her game, she would grant his wish. Of coarse he had is own agendas for the creature when the game was finished. He was pretty sure that if he could hold the creature down long enough, he could use it for countless experiments. Her powers alone could aid them in the eternal battle his mistress was stuck in with the blasted HOA.
"Do what you wish, as long as-"
"Yes, as long as I make the Woman yours right?" The cat sneered before disappearing again.
The plane touched down at Gatwick, but it was still a 2 hour journey back to where Nikita was taking them. Luna had asked if she could be dropped off somewhere first, Nikita had agreed, only if someone was with her,
At this the White Rabbit had agreed to go with the teen, and had instructed her Alice to go with the Russian woman to help her inform the people she was seeing about everything he knew and what the rabbit had told him.
Clacton was full of tourists in the summer holidays, even when it was a cool night, much like tonight. Families were out for meals as friends were down the pub enjoying their drinks and time off from school and work.
They were sitting by the beach, the rabbit simply stared at the teen, and there was something different about this girl. After all who would actively seek out the Cheshire?
Luna however was trying to make sense of her dreams.
She was pretty sure they were memories. But they were not hers. That much she knew. But whose were they? She scratched her head in annoyance; she just wished that sometimes, she had been a normal girl.
Thanks to Cheshire, she had lived with nothing but loneliness and sorrow, never fitting in anywhere unless the cat eared woman was by her side.
Was this an obsession she had developed?
They were walking back when Luna bumped into a cloaked figure. It hurt her more then it hurt the person.
"Oh sorry!" She cried as the person turned round, she could make out brown eyes and red hair.
"my my" Luna turned to see the Rabbit woman looking at the figure, her hands on her hips "Cain Adamson" She spoke in a stony voice "I wouldn't worry if I'm gonna attack you or not, we all know of your mark." She added
Luna stared in confusion, her arm burnt like something from hell, but she ignored it.
"Luna, pay attention now, this was one of Cheshire's Alice's. One who wasn't from a tribe" The rabbit spoke "Her first in many ways"
Luna blinked as the person removed the hood, olive skin shone in the moon light as his brown eyes reminded her of dark chocolate, fire red hair was tied back.
"Looks like we're all looking for the same person" The rabbit spoke before she looked up "Oh dear, looks like the Dormouse and Jack in now in the game"
The young girl looked up; her farther was in front of her, frozen before the blood ran down his body, crating a line as he split clean in two, she looked as a boy no older then 14 looked at her, he had jet black hair and ice blue eyes, but what scared her was the mouse ears upon his head and the tail that wrapped around his legs occasionally.
This person had killed her farther, but at the same time, saved her from him.
He looked at the girl, she had blond hair and brown eyes, she looked to be about 14 years old, she was in a ripped night dress. Her porcelain skin was bruised and scared, blood stained and she was shivering.
He removed his coat and placed it over the child, who clung to him and sobbed her heart out. He frowned but let her cry.
"It's OK now" He whispered "Everything's OK now Alice"
The Queen sat outside the house as a young man exited the building, upon seeing the woman he bowed. He looked just like one of those knights from so many children's fairy tales. He had brown hair and frosty blue eyes; he wore a red cloak around his shoulders as his sword was strapped to his side.
"Welcome Jack" She spoke as he stood up, looking at his Queen. "How is your Alice?"
"He's sleeping" He spoke, his voice was stoic and void of any emotion. The Jack of Harts was the only one of two of her subjects that she trusted dearly. "Has the Rabbit been found yet?"
"I haven't located her yet no." The Queen spoke, slight irritation in her regal voice, but she brushed it off "We have bigger issues. Hatter is back"
"Not just Hatter, We have Cheshire too"
"WHAT!" The Queen yelled "How can this be? Damn that blasted creature" She snarled
"Don't worry your majesty; she isn't of any concern yet"
"Come Jack, you must help me and Alice" She spoke as he nodded. Not telling the Queen of who else he knew had entered the game, and hoped he would never have to cross paths with them.
The Hatter smirked as she slammed the Hare into the building wall, her power was radiating off of her form, and he tried to shrink back from her.
"March Hare, you know very well I hate to be kept waiting" She hissed in the trembling boys ear before she let go of him, he coughed and held his throat.
"I'm sorry, but I had to go!"
"Why? What's more important then my Tea Party? Even after I brought Alice with me"
"I'm sorry Hatter but my Alice…he's…he's not good"
"What's that?" She asked smirking a crewl and twisted smirk, making her seem more demonic then possible without going though a total change in appearance. She looked at the quivering form before her aura dropped. "It's OK Hare, we can help him and you know that. Now I think I just have to find the Dormouse, which shouldn't be hard, and then we can begin. For my Alice calls for me. Find him and bring him to me"
The March Hare nodded and watched her disappear.
"Please!" Luna cried at the man "Please tell me everything you know of Cheshire!"
"Why?" The man spoke as he raised an eyebrow at the child's outcry.
"Please, I need to find her!" Luna spoke "And I need to stop her from loosing herself"
