CH 22

The Past

"Richard, are you sure this is a good place to hide it?" I white soldier asked the king.

"Yes, for one it's ceiled away in this cave that only this necklace can open and two, no one would ever dare step foot in here." The King in white armor pulled out his sword. "This is the only thing that can slay the Jabberwocky."

"Richard" He pointed towards a dirt road full of card soldiers and the red queen.

"Yes friend?" He followed the finger of the guard. "We have to hurry and get back. I need to protect my child and wife." With that they took off on their horses.

In the Red Queen's Kingdom present

I could hear shouts in the court yard. It was the Red Queen's voice. She had taken Nivins with her into the garden.

"Someone find her some clothes, use the curtains if you must, but clothes this enormous girl!" The Red Queen finished. That was all I had heard.

It had now been at least 2 more hours and I heard someone coming down the stairs to the dungeon.

"Who are you, why are you so tall." I saw a very tall girl with blonde hair. Nivins came out from behind her.

"Lily, this is Alice but everyone thinks her name is Um." The rabbit said.

"Your Alice? Why are you so tall? I stood up behind the bars of me cell.

"Ate too much cake." Alice replied to me but I could help but stare. "So you're the White Queen's daughter. Are you the one I saw run through the garden when I was younger?" She came closer to the cell and unlocked the door.

"Yeah, you were a stranger and I was three. You should know better than to chase a little kid." I huffed.

"Terribly sorry, but I needed help and I saw you first. The queen needs you now." I followed Alice down to the throne room.

"Ah, Um there you are and thank you for getting Lily." The Queen smiled at Alice. I just stood there quietly. Then Stayne came in and kissed the Queen gently on the hand and I watched him stare at Alice.

"And who is this lovely creature." He pointed at Alice.

"Um, my new favorite." The Queen replied.

"Does she have a name?"

"Um" She simply replied.

Stayne laughed "I believe your name has slipped the queens mind."

"Her name is Um, IDIOT!" I watched her agitatedly reply.

"From Umbridge" Unable to control my laugh I covered my mouth.

"Well now Lily almost forgot you were here. Now I need you to find something for me and you have one day to do it. It's the golden orb. You see I have the red one, but I also nee the golden one to take over everything."

"And why would I help you do that?" I snapped.

"Well if you want to se your friends again" She motioned her hand towards Hatty, Mally, the tweedle boys and nivins "I suggest you make the right decision."

I glared over at her. "Fine!"

"Good, you need to go to Tulgey Wood, that is where your father hid it. Lucky for us we have his sword as well." Her evil smile surged me.

"And why don't you just do it yourself?"

"Because Lily, you are the only one that can get it. Lead her out Um and make sure she goes the right way." As Alice began to lead me out towards the woods, I whispered to her.

"You need to find my father's sword and get it to my Mom." I whispered as she led me.

"I don't even know the first place to look." I looked up at her.

"Neither do I" I peeked behind us and saw Stayne behind us.

"Tic Tock Lily, Tic Tock." I watched his figure move side to side. I started running towards the forest.

The White Queen paced the throne room back and forth. She was scared, nervous, and above all terrified for her little girl's life. The doors opened and she quickly walked over to them.

"Lily?" She gasped at the girl.

"Hello mother." She grinned. The queen couldn't place her finger on it but something was different about her. That didn't stop her from hugging the girl to death.

"Are you alright, are you hurt?" Mirana scanned the girl from head to toe. She stopped when Lily's necklace was not there. "Where is your necklace?"

"Gone" The girl pulled out a dagger and came after the queen. The Queen screamed in fright.

I scanned the entrance to the forest. It was dark, misty, and overall scary as Heck. Building up my confidence I tried to step forward, then stopped. 'Come on Lily you have to do this' I thought to myself. I froze when I heard something coming towards me. Hesitantly I turned around and saw huge devilish creature.

"You must be the mom." I sighed and braced myself for the slam towards the tree.

James came running in just in time. "Lily? What are you doing?" The girl's eyes turned red at him.

"You will die too" The girl hissed. Mirana slowly continued to back up away from her. She forgot about the queen and came charging at James. Sam showed up and blocked the girl's dagger. "Don't hurt her!" James yelled at him.

It came at me growling. I was at least a head shorter than it. Quickly looking around I found a tree behind it that I could climb up in. Good thing Sarah made me take Karate lessons. Once it started running towards me, I started running towards it. We got close enough that when I flipped over it I landed right behind it. Climbing as fast as I could I manage to dodge its teeth at my feet. I sat on the branch avoiding its claws and jaw.

Sam and the girl were now dueling. Sam kept up for the most part and jumped over a kick towards him. He slid up under the girl and tried to stab her but she flipped up out of the way.

The Queen and James didn't know what to think. Lily wasn't Lily, her eyes were red and her skin wasn't its normal color but more scale-y looking.

The girl took a stab at Sam but when he stepped back he fell off balance and was knocked to the ground. Her dagger was at his neck while he looked up at her devilish grin. Then an arrow stabbed her in the chest. She gasped and pulled out the bloody arrow. She fell to the ground and the devilish creature appeared as it turned to dust.

"Stay away from my boyfriend!" Crystal growled.

It jumped high enough to get a firm grip on the branch. The branch was beginning to snap and the creature would let go. Scanning the area I checked for another tree I could get to. I was about to jump but the branch snapped in half. Falling towards the creature I felt something grabbed me. I grabbed hold of it and noticed it was soft and furry. I opened my eyes.

"ANGEL!" She snarled and growled at the creature. "What are you doing here? How's mom?" Angel clawed at the creature as it began to pace back and forth.

"Mad that you left, but mostly sad, so are your friends." I held on as she jumped back away from the creatures claws coming at her. The creature jumped at her and I fell off at the entrance of a cave with a feint crown marking on it.

"I found it!" I watched as the two clawed, snarled and bit at each other.

"I'll hold it off; get what you're looking for so we can get out of here!"

I crawled into the dark moist cave. It was very cramp inside and I was afraid of snakes coming out. I looked around and couldn't see anything, then I remembered I had matches. Taking the box of matches out, I knelt down and let one. I scanned the walls for any shape of the necklace.

I heard a whimper and then nothing. I stopped what I was doing and listened.

"Angel?" I held my breath.

"Took care of it" I began to breathe at her voice.

I took off my necklace and placed it in the same shape slot. There was a humming then a bright light that came out of it. Then the door cracked open. Cautiously I opened it up and saw a figure, a male figure in White armor. He smiled at me as I came closer and stood up.

"Hello daughter." He smiled.
