CH 24
Frabjous Day
I walked by the queen as she rode in her carrier. Stayne rode a fierce black horse. My Mother and her guards came into view along with my friends, Hatty, Mally, Chessy, bayard, Nivins, Angel, and Alice on the Bandersnatch. They stood for a moment watching each other. I was in silver armor that fit me perfectly. My friends had armour along with Alice. They also had bows and arrows and swords. I looked behind us at the red cards and devilish creatures.
"Come on Lily." The Red Queen ordered me as we met my mother in the center of the chess looking battle field. Nivins stood between them and I stood with the Red Queen.
"Hello Iracebeth." My mother softly greeted.
"Hello, Mirana." I watched them nervously.
"I would like my daughter back Iracebeth." I saw mom looking at me with worried eyes, but I looked away.
"She joined me, the only way you would get her is if she was dead." Her voice was high. I looked at my mom staring at me trying to think of something, but I shook my head at her. She looked like she was about to cry but she held it in. Then we heard Nivins blow a horn.
"On this the Frabjous Day, The Queens Red and White shall send forth their champions to do battle on their behalf." After watching Nivins I looked up at my mom once more.
"Iracey, we don't have to fight." She pleaded. Iracebeth took a deep breath.
"I know what you're doing, you think you can blink those pretty little eyes and I'll melt, just like mummy and daddy did." Her voice was soft and like ice.
"Please, at least let my daughter go." Her hand reached out towards me.
"NO!" Iracbeth yelled. "It is my crown, I am the eldest and Lily is MINE! JABBERWACKY!" My mother and Iracebeth backed away from each other. She had a pleading look at me but I turned with the Red Queen. I watched the red cards step aside and set a path for the Jabberwacky that was now waking up. I turned back around at my mother watching me and James ready to run and grab me.
Iracebeth turned around towards mom as the Jabberwacky began to approach the battle field. "Where's your champion sister?" She smirked. I watched Alice step forward with my father's sword.
"Here." Alice approached the Jabberwacky on the battlefield.
"Hello Um." Iracebeth coldly greeted.
Alice made the first move at the Jabberwacky and sliced off its tongue. I watched mom almost throw up. The Jabberwacky turned around with its tale knocking Alice to the ground. She got up and stabbed at the monster. It shot lightning at her but she blocked it, and then attacked it again. It hit her again and she fell back without her sword. The Jabberwacky began to go after her. The devilish creatures around me were snarling and growling. I watched Hatty stab the Jabberwacky's tale.
"The Hatter is interfering, off with his head!" Staye pulled out is sword and began to approach Hatty. All the card guards followed from behind. I watched as the white guards were also charging. I continued to stand next to Iracebeth. Alice and the Jabberwacky ran up into a tower area. "SISTER!" I watched her raise her staff, the red lightning came out heading towards my mom and I jumped in front of it just in time with my gold lightning.
"LILY!? OFF WITH HER HEAD!" I heard Iracebeth scream. The devilish creatures were coming at me as I continued to fight lightning with lightning. One jumped at me, but by the time he got to me it was dust.
"Nice to have you back Lily!" Tiffany yelled as she reloaded her bow. I smiled back at her. I watched her run over to the tweedle boys. "Hey boys! Need some help?"
The lightning stopped but I didn't attack, another bolt came at me and I used the sword to block it. Another red bolt was coming at me but it curved around and hit me in the side.
"Lily!" I heard my mom. I staggered up and held out my sword. I saw James and Sam fighting some devilish creatures. Then I turned to Crystal she was using the bow like a pro. A creature came at her head and she decked only to turn around and shoot and arrow, and then turning to the side to shoot another arrow at a creature.
"Stayne!" Iracebeth yelled at Stayne and handed him the red orb. He attached it to his sword and came towards me.
We charged at each other and once our swords hit, a shock of lightning bolted out. He knocked me onto my back and I saw Brandon holding my mom and hitting what came at them to protect her. I grabbed my sword and swung it in front of me to block is. Kicking him in the gut I flipped him over and jumped up.
"You know I'm really getting sick of you, you little brat." He swung at my neck but I bent backwards to dodge it.
I kicked up at his face as a flipped backwards but he dodged it. I saw a devilish creature coming at my side and Stayne slice his sword at me. I did a handless cartwheel and dodged the creature, but his sword got me. I held in my scream and looked down at my chest as blood dripped. I fell to my knees.
"Finally, off with your head." He rose his sword up. I could here it through the air. Then he screamed and fell back. I opened my eyes to see Angel in front of me snarling and growling at Stayne.
He rose up again and a red bolt shot Angel back. She flipped over my head. With my free hand I held my chest while I shot a gold bolt at Stayne. He was shot up in the air and fell hard on his back. The sword was dropped in the middle of some devilish creatures. He grabbed another sword, but was now battling Hatty.
I ran after the sword. Slidding under one that jumped at me, I spun around and sliced two more around me. Running towards the sword I jumped over another and tumbled down to the sword. Grabbing the sword, I took out the red sphere and through it on the ground. All the devilish creatures started turning to dust. Looking at my mom behind Brandon fighting some creatures, I ran over to her. James, Sam, Crystal, and Tiffany joined us. We looked over towards Alice standing on top of the tower watching the Jabberwacky's head roll down. Mom held me tightly while James held my hand as the head landed in front of Iracebeth.
"Kill her!" I looked over at Iracebeth pointing at Alice. A red card soldier came forward.
"We follow you no more bloody big head." Even with the pain on my chest I couldn't help but laugh.
"How dare you!" Then she pointed that the soldier "Off with his head!" They all looked at each other and began to drop their weapons.
Her crown floated in the air and turned silver while it landed on my mom's head. I sat down next to James while she confronted Iracebeth.
"Iracebeth of Crimes" Her voice was stern and cold. I had never heard her use this tone before. "Your Crimes against Underland are worth of death." Her voice got softer again "However, that is against my vows." She continued to punish Iracebeth, but I was loosing a lot of blood by now.
The Bandersnatch came over and licked my wound. I watched it heal and took a deep breath. Looking up at my friends they smiled widely.
"What?" I grinned. The shook theirs heads and laughed.
"Absolutely nothing" James kissed me on the lips.
"Nice head chopping Alice." I smiled at her and she returned the gesture. We smiled and watched the guards pull away the yelling Red Queen and Stayne.
We all watched Hatty move to the center of attention. "Oh, Frabjous day galore!" He began to do a bunch of strange crazy dance moves. My mom came over to me and helped me up. We started to dance and soon everyone was watching him and doing small little dance moves.
Alice and Chessy were together watching Hatty and laughing.
"What's he doing?" She asked the grinning cat.
"Flutterwagon" He widely grinned.
Tiffany was dancing with the tweedle boys and Brandon. Sam and Crystal were dancing to the rhythm and James, Mom, and I danced together watching Hatter. Once he was done everyone clapped. My mom glided over to the Jabberwacky's head and took out a small tube. She began to fill it up with the blood. I watched her cover her mouth and look away. Watching her move towards Alice, I joined her.
"Blood of the Jabberwacky, you have our everlasting gratitude." She spoke softly. I went over to Alice and we hugged.
"Thank you Alice." I pulled away so she could take the blood.
"Will this take me home?" Alice asked.
"If that's what you choose." She smiled and caressed Alice's cheek. She moved over to me and everyone else and we watched Alice leave.
Hey, so only one more chapter after this. If you want more Lily like her being a princess and possibly more Adventures tell me. :)
