Chapter 8: The Truth:
Alice's POV:
I was faced with Time. "Alice, you haf made a big mistake," says Time.
"Alice, I know this sounds strange... but you have to give him back the Chronosphere," says Cyrus.
"Whose side are you on," I asked.
"Gife me back vhat iss min Naturlich!"
"Alice, you have to listen," says Cyrus.
"You said you would do anything for me," I said.
"Funny, how you keep r-r-remindingkt him zat, but now I am vonderingkt... vould you do anyzzingkt fur him?"
And when he said that... it made me realize something... I have been practically taking advantage of the man I love this entire time!
"Alice, if you don't give him back the chronosphere-"
But before Cyrus could continue, I went through the looking glass...
. . .
I woke up in this psychiatric hospital. "Alice," says Mother, "you were found, trying to get under furniture, saying something about finding the atmosphere!"
"Wha-" I then got up. "Mother, I have to get out of here!"
"Alice, where is Cyrus," asks Mother.
Time must still have him! "Hello Alice, I am your psychiatrist! Allow me to introduce myself, I am Dr. Gunther Octavius!"
"You have to let me out of here," I said.
"I fear that your daughter is suffering from female hysteria," says Dr. Octavius.
"Can you help her," asks Mother.
"Not to worry," says Dr. Octavius. He gets out a shot and attempted to give it to me, but I grabbed it and stuck it in his arm.
"Too bad you only have two arms," I said.
I then ran.
. . .
I was running, but then Mother got in my way. "Alice, what are you doing," asks Mother.
"Mother, you have to let me do this," I asked, "I can't explain... but this is something I have to do and Cyrus is involved!"
My Mother then sighs. "How can I help?"
. . .
My Mother helped me get through the guards and I got to the looking glass. First, I picked up the Chronosphere and then I got through the looking glass!
. . .
I then used the chronosphere to travel to the attack and I saw the Jabberwock take the Hatter's family. Now I know the truth!
. . .
I then returned to the Hatter's home. He was on the brink of death. "Hatter," I said, "you can't die! Because your family is still alive! You were right!"
The Hatter then gets up and color literally returns to him. "You are you," says the Hatter.
"Your family has been captured by the only one cruel enough to do it," I said.
"The Blasted Big Head," says the Hatter.
