Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Ben's Note of Sheer Benliness: Well, after waiting so long, it sure feels good to be back to daily updates! Well, kind of. You see, I have some other obligations this week, so I might not update every day. But I'll aim for it! Also, as a side note, with my One-Shot list, I do any ship, but OCs by others aren't something I can do well with. As 1. I don't own the character and 2. Don't know how they act, I can't really work characters like that. So, sorry to disappoint.

KCL: … Ouch. And to think, I thought you were generally interested in me getting a Merry Christmas. *chuckles* Nah, your great! Yay for you maybe getting an account soon! Seriously, I'm giddy! SO GIDDY! I got a PS3 for Christmas. Yeah, I know the PS4 is out, but it only let's you play a majority of M rated games. Not to say I'm not into M rated games (Until Dawn people) but I live in a house with a bunch of children. Better safe than sorry. And I'm generally interested in what you got, so lay it on me!

Also, as some of you might know, KCL almost beat me to death with the boxing glove in an apple cider case trick. Let me say this now: Kitty's dad's story isn't done just yet! With that said, here you go.

Prompt 39: Death Bed

Alistair could only stare at the empty space where the March Hare had kicked Kitty's father. He blinked. No… Kitty's dad couldn't be dead. He just saved Alistair's life. He couldn't just be…

"Serves him right," the March Hare muttered. " #$% cat pushed me right down the shaft. That wasn't part of our deal."

Alistair twitched. "Who pushed you?" he asked.

"His daughter. #$%. Deserves to rot in the fiery depths of," the March Hare started to say. However, the poor hare was cut short when Alistair spun around and punched him in the face.

"DON'T SAY A WORD AGAINST MY GIRLFRIEND!" Alistair roared. "You just killed her father! He might not have been there for her… but he just saved my life!"

"So? You have no idea who he is or what he's done," the March Hare spat.

"Maybe not… but I know one thing," Alistair said, gritting his teeth. "I'm kicking your sorry butt."

Kitty appeared in the hallway at the bottom of the elevator shaft. She gasped, tears starting to pour from her eyes when she saw the wreckage before her. "ALISTAIR!" she screamed and started to pull the rubble off…

…right as a pair of long legs fell on top of the pile. Kitty gasped in fright and scrambled back. She looked at the pair of legs for the longest while, confused. Then, it clicked.

Her dad.

"Oh no. No no no no no!" Kitty said and pulled broken pieces of the elevator car out of the shaft. She worked as hard as she could, tears spilling from her eyes. Finally, after what seemed like hours to Kitty, she managed to get into the car.

Instead of seeing two bodies, she only saw the one. Her dad resting in the car, his torso severed. Instead of blood, black strings of darkness grasped around. Kitty walked to him, tears spilling from her eyes. She grabbed him and sat down, carefully rolling him over onto her lap.

"Dad…" she cried. "I'm…"

"Kit…ty…" he said in her head. Kitty cried harder, tears splashing on her father's faceless face. "You're… ok?"

Kitty smiled weakly. "Of course I am," she said. "You… saved Alistair…"

"Of course… I did…" he said. "You're… my pride… and joy… of life. I can't just… let you suffer… without the boy you… love."

More tears from Kitty. "I always thought… you hated me…" she cried.

"Never," he said. "I left… for other reasons… I always… loved you…"

Kitty sobbed even harder. "Dad… I'm so… sorry!"

Her dad weakly lifted his hand up and stroked her chin. "It'll be ok," he said. He whispered something else inside her head, making her nod, but still cry. "You want to… know something.. Kitty?"

"What?"

"If I ever… had a mouth… the only reason… I would ever… smile… would be to see… my daughter… happy," he said. With that, he stiffened. "I… love…you…"

Her dad went limp in her arms. Kitty stared at her dad for a long time. "Dad?" she asked. "Dad?! DAD?!" No response. Kitty looked at her dead father and put her face on his chest and cried. After a few moments of crying, she lifted her head up. However, she didn't look sad anymore.

She looked enraged.

Alistair groaned in pain as he was kicked onto his back, his head hanging over the elevator shaft. He had fought of the March Hare the best he could, but it was no use. The Hare loomed over him, glaring. "Should have left me alone," he muttered. "Any last words, you worthless piece of #$%?"

Alistair glared up at him. "I hope someone makes you pay," he spat.

The March Hare laughed. "No one will make me pay," he said. "Not after all these years of suffering. Farewell Wonderland."

Alistair braced himself to be kicked down the shaft, but before the Hare could move, something appeared in front of him…

…and kicked the Hare in the face.

"What the…" the Hare moaned in shock.

"THAT'S FOR ME!" Kitty screamed. She rushed forward and kicked the Hare in the groin. "THAT'S FOR ALISTAIR!" As the March Hare keeled over, Kitty ran to the Hare's back and, with all her strength, pounded his backbone. There was a loud CRACK and the Hare groaned, keeling over in pain. "THAT'S FOR KILLING MY DAD!"

Alistair looked at the scene before him. Kitty still looked angry, seething at the unconscious hare. Then, she collapsed. Alistair stood up and walked over to her. He gently kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry," he whispered to her.

BN: This is why you don't tick Kitty off people! Basically, since I'm one to kill off main characters, I wanted Kitty to have one good moment with her dad. And then to have her feel the gap immediately after he was taken from her. I thought I did well, and I hope you guys aren't too mad at me. (Happy endings! I'm all for happy endings!)
