Slowly the world around her started invading her dreams and Alice had no choice but to wake. Every sound seemed to ingrain itself into her eardrum with intent to cause her very being to rise with the rest of the world. Alice however did not want to move from the warmth of her bed for that is hwere her Queen also resided sleeping curled into Alice. At that very moment Alice felt as if she could do anything and nothing could ruin it.

"Get up"

It was a low whisper that sounded far away but right next to her ear at exactly the same time. Alice couldn't help but to open her eyes then and looked around to see who had dared to intrude on the privacy of her chambers. Carefully inspecting every shadow that she could see to the best of her ability from her position, Alice found no sign of anyone. Deciding that she must have heard an echo coming from some place Alice laid her head back down resting her eyes and just enjoying the peacefulness of the moment of being able to sleep next to her Queen.

"Get up"

Eyes opening wide Alice rose from the bed being very careful not to disturb her Queen. There had been no mistaking it that time something had been calling to her. The question though was what exactly had been calling. It hadn't sounded like anyone she knew nor could she discern if it had been human or not. Frowning to herself Alice moved around the room looking around and even under things to make sure that it was still just her and Mirana. She didn't know how Mirana felt on making whatever it was they had become to one another public or if her Queen would rather not. The thought made her frown deepen but Alice would do anything to keep her Queen happy.

"Alice," turning every which way as the voice seemed to stay right at her ear Alice grew frustrated.

"Alright, where are you?" Alice called out sternly.

"Alice, who are you talking to?" the soft angelic voice came from her bed very opposite to the one she had been hearing.

"No one," Alice shook her head at herself. She should tell her Queen she knew but she couldn't worry her with this. At least not yet when she herself didn't know what she had been hearing.

"Well come back to bed love we needn't be up this early yet." Alice smiled as she came up to the bed.

"In that case my Queen perhaps we can continue with last night's activities?"

Alice ran her hands under the blankets as she crawled back onto the bed. Her hands found her Queens back first then lightly moving around to rest on her stomach and pressing her front tightly to Mirana's back. Alice felt rather than heard the moan vibrate through the body pressed to her and started moving her hands down before they were caught by her Queens.

"Oh how that sounds absolutely amazing Alice, sadly we do not have the time it would take to satiate even one of us let alone both." Mirana turned in the arms that circled around her and moved to rest on Alice's sides kissing her lightly on the lips.

"Well then my Queen, do we at least have time enough to enjoy this moment together?"

"I do believe so my Champion." Mirana smiled at the playful banter between them.

Alice kissed her Queen again before burying her face into the magnificently pale soft skin at the crook of her neck. She had never been happier than she was in that very moment. Alice didn't know much about love still being at a young age, but she did know that what she felt for MIrana ran so deep that it overshadowed everything else in her life making it seem less meaningless.

"What are you thinking about Alice?" she heard her Queen whisper softly. Alice moved her head to the woman's chest feeling her heartbeat she sighed lightly before answering.

"I can't help but to wonder what happens now. I know what I feel for you it's the unknown that has me worried." Alice closed her eyes for a moment just listening to the beating heart under her.

"Alice my love, we needn't worry over things that haven't happened yet especially if we don't know what they'll be. Of course there will be challenges there always are but as long as we face them together and show the world just how much we love one another I think we'll be fine." Alice lifted her head to look her Queen in the eyes before speaking her next words.

"Mirana I love you with every fiber of my being. I can feel it all the time and my mind never wonders far from you. I don't know what my life would be like without you and I never want to find out. If all I can have is a life of serving you I would still live happily knowing you are safe and happy. Sometimes it's hard to find the right words especially when you're so close and most definitely in the state we are in now." Alice lent down and kissed her Queens cheek. "There is nothing I wouldn't do for you."

Mirana opened her mouth to speak but a knock on Alice's door stopped her. Growling at the intrusion Alice got out of bed grabbing her robe as she left the bedroom into the sitting area to the door. Pulling in a deep breath before opening it Alice was surprised to find McTwisp standing there. The rabbit was as fidgety as ever and she was sure if she let the irritation show at being interrupted then the rabbit would surely faint.

"Yes McTwisp is there something I can help you with." Alice settled for smiling and gritting her teeth.

"I was w-wondering if you had seen our Q-Queen this morning Champion Alice, she d-doesn't seem to be in her chambers." She knew they couldn't hide in here forever but she had hoped.

"Ah well let me dress and I will help you in locating her." Alice knew she couldn't lie. It just made things complicated in the end so she settled for half truths. She was going to have to discuss the public knowledge with her Queen before even letting a hint slip passed her lips.

"No no that won't be necessary Champion Alice, Sir Gideon is waiting on you down at the training fields. If I held you up I would never hear the end of it." McTwisp quickly answered making Alice's eyes narrow.

"Very well then I will see you later McTwisp. Do try to have a good day wont you." The rabbit of course had already turned to leave mumbling under his breath something that Alice didn't quite catch.

Closing the door Alice turned to head back into the bedroom but the sight that stood before her made her freeze in her tracks. Her Queen had snuck in behind her standing in all her magnificent splendor and Alice could only rack her eyes over the body that stood on display before her. Mirana however was perfectly calm and moved closer to Alice, just a hairs breath away from their lips making contact.

"I feel it to my Champion," she spoke softly as her hands moved under Alice's robe and up to her shoulders pulling the robe from her body. "Since first laying eyes on you even though I didn't know it then and when you stepped up to face the Jabberwocky it hit me fully. I can't not have you at my side for the rest of our lives I need you here with me not just serving me my love. Even as your Queen I shouldn't have that kind of control over you but I will never take it for granted and I will always love you with everything in me."

Mirana lightly ran her lips against Alice's hands moving to the hair at the nape of her neck. Alice couldn't help but to run her tongue over her Queens's bottom lip asking entry that was quickly granted. All too soon though Mirana was pulling away moving her hands around to cup her Champion's face. She stared into the younger woman's eyes for a moment and then lightly kissed her lips again before slipping from her reach. Alice could only groan at the loss and left standing there naked and cold from it. She watched as Mirana put on the robe she had taken off her.

"Are you leaving my Queen?" Alice couldn't help the frown that crossed her features which only made her Queen return to her arms.

"For now my Champion, we both have things that we need to get done today. We both let a few things go yesterday though I am very happy we did." Mirana smiled down at Alice who just sighed.

"Alright but I'm not letting go willingly."

"I would hope not."

They kissed one last time before parting ways to go about their days making plans to have lunch together again that afternoon. Alice watched as Mirana left her chambers in her robe. Her heart seemed to want to beat right out of her chest with the amount of happiness she could feel. Taking her time in getting ready Alice moved about in a trance stuck in the memory of the day before. It was all she could think about several times it caused her to trip over or run into something. Laughing at herself Alice left her chambers ready for the day. She was making her way down to the training fields after grabbing a bite to eat from the kitchens when she heard it again.

"To the woods"

Alice stopped looking around for the source of the voice. It was the same one she had heard that morning. Turning her attention to the woods Alice could see nothing out of the ordinary. Everything was pretty silent and that in itself was odd. She should have at least heard the clang of metal on metal.

"Go"

Alice's hands went to her sword and the knife that she still carried with her always. Spinning around as the voice sounded again in her ear she saw no one. Turning back to the woods finally she made the decision to go. Sir Gideon wouldn't be happy with her lateness but he would forgive her. She just couldn't ignore the voice any longer.

"Good, very good Alice."
