Fantasy Wonderland in Black and White

[yistae]

Hatter raised a brow at the girl, absently pulling his hat tighter on his head so Chesh wouldn't take off with it. "Why of course they decide what to where! Have you never met a flower? They're the most vain beings and go on and on about what I should wear and what I shouldn't. They say my hat here is atrocious." He stopped and blinked, mentally rewinding their conversation and turning to Magnolia. "Did the new "Queen" make the trees like this?" For a moment his voice lost the light and cheerful tone, something closer to disgust audible when he said Queen and he knew it. Yes, Queen of Hearts was a very pushy woman and didn't deserve a crown, but he didn't think this Queen of Spades was much better.

Ace stopped slightly as he reached the outskirts of the Forest, his mother had told him about it and helped him learn to master it's tricky ways. He remembered when he played hide and seek in this forest with his cousin, Duchess. He wondered how she was doing, seeing as her mother was a horrid person and probably hated her own daughter. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt a gust of wind. "Arsenic... What a surprise." he said calmly while looking at the black clad man.

 

[Athens]

Magnolia looked down suddenly very uncomfortable. "Yes, she did it to the trees, the flowers don't sing their happy tunes anymore, Mouse, Tweedle Dee and Dum have vanished." Tears sprung in the young woman's eyes. "It's horrible. The creatures of Wonderland are so drab and grey now. At least when the Red Queen was here we still had color."

 

[QuirkyAngel]

"Very well, we have an accord," Hilda said finally. "I shall bring you the Chesire Cat and you shall return me and my forest to its former glory." She had planned on finding Chesh anyway. She had sensed a shift in the air, not too long ago, as if a rift had opened, and it disturbed her. She had little doubt the infuriating cat knew what was going on. Hilda would take the queen's side for now, but she didn't consider herself completely loyal. The only side Hilda was on was her own. Chanting another spell, Hilda returned to her forest. She had some scrying to do.

 

[Athens]

Arsenic looked up at Ace startled. "Ace, what are you doing here? And more importantly, what are you doing talking to me? Did you forget that choice I made you make a few months back?" He asked remember one of the few equally terrible choices he had dished out to none other than the son of the White Queen.

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Why don't we paint them then?" Ophelia questioned. "I mean, you painted the roses red once, right? Why not do that again?" She suggested, she did remember the trouble her mother had gotten in for that, but it was worth a try. What was the worst that could happen, their heads getting chopped off? "Um, whose he?" She questioned, pointing at the new guy.

 

[yistae]

Hatter stared wide eyed at Magnolia for a moment, his mind racing faster than usual. He felt a shift in the air and froze, thinking. Then before anyone could say or do anything he grabbed one of Ophelia's hands, pulling her down the path and shaking Chesh off his hat. "Come now, we have to hurry. Can't be late. Oh no, that'd be terrible for all of Wonderland. All of everything. Except this fake Queen. Hurry up now Ophelia, or we're already late," he spoke quickly, madly, and continued murmuring nonsense under his breath as he pulled the Daughter Alice along. They needed to fix the trees, and he had a feeling there wouldn't be enough paint or time.

Ace looking at him. "Well... My mother is aware that the daughter of Alice... or supposed savior is in Wonderland... she wants me to go find her... and make sure that the Queen of Spades doesn't get her first.." he said while raises a brow. "I thought you were with Duchess... Don't ask how I know, I always seem to know..." he said with a sigh and ran a hand through his snowy white hair.

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Wh-what's going on?" Ophelia whispered with a slightly panicking note as Hatter dragged her away. "Why are we running? Who was that guy? Where are you taking me?" This wasn't something she remembered from her mother's stories either. "Wasn't there a rabbit that always worried about time?"

 

[Athens]

Arsenic stiffened at the mention of Duchess, but relax immediately afterwards. "I wasn't going to ask Ace, but that still doesn't answer my question about why you're speaking to me."" His voice was cold, but not to mean, it was just how he sounded. "You should hate me for what I've made you do, just like all the others in Wonderland."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Cheshire cat was spoken loose from the hat he would appear and disappear many times tree's a head of the hatter and girl. " the rabbit is down a hole a deep dark hole. The Queen left him to rot."the cat says darkly. His face had darkened. His smile almost gone. He light it back up and looked at the girl." How did you get to wonderland any way?"He asks. The cat was naturally curious. He was smart, mad devious and all around annoying. "Oh how I do love tea and painting. " he said finally out of the blue. His face went puzzled. " the witch, ask the witch, her realm may be as of yet untouched. "The cat says


Serena watched her go. True to her word she returned the color to the witches realm. And to her.she would get her prise and she would enjoy it happily.

Hatter looked back at Ophelia, slowing so she wasn't running. "You can't stay around here, the Queens are looking for you. One black one White. One bad one good. Both trying to find you. Can't let the Spades get to you first. Alice met the bad one first, and almost lost her head. This one won't take your head, just your mind. Which do you think would be more painful though?" He asked before turning his attention to where they were going. The trees around them started turning green again and Hatter spotted the teacup shards from his old cup. After a few minutes they came to a gate and Hatter opened it, reveling a garden with a long table covered in tea cups, tea pots, and anything and everything relating to a tea party. Finally he let go of Ophelia and pulled out the chair at the head of the table, taking a seat to the right and gesturing for the girl to sit. "Come on, right now it's tea time and we have to wait for the others to get here," he said calmly, pouring himself some tea and taking a sip.

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Ace shrugs his shoulders. "I can't hate someone for doing what they were born to do. It would be like hating Duchess for being so kind and believing there is good in everyone..." he said while looking at him. "She did what she did out of love... She couldn't bare it if something were to happen to you... Even if she told you to stay away... you should go to her. She'll understand if you tell her why you can't stay away..." he said while sighing softly. "Oh but what do I know... I don't know what you feel."

 

[KneelingAngel]

"There was a rabbit with a vest and I fell into the water when I ran after it." Ophelia mumbled, saddened by the story of the rabbit. He was her favorite in the stories. Then she was suddenly placed on a chair at a very long table. "How can you be so calm?!" She snapped at the hatter. "People want me dead! Can't you guys just bring me home and come back to my world? I'm sure my mom would love to see you guys, she won't shut up about you."

Cheshire cat looked at the hatter. He fidgeted looking uncomfortable. He smiled and disappeared laughing shaking his head. He reappeared near the witch's house." Oh Hilda why has the madness not taken you" he says showing up in her kitchen. He layed out with a big grin.


Smoke started to surround the tea table as a figure inched its way along the table."and Who.. are...you?" The caterpillar says. As he blew hooka rings towards the girl. He was the most sane creature in wonderland you meet. Yeah it was a talking blue caterpillar, but he was wise and not really Mad.

Hatter put his tea cup down, figgeting with his hat brim. "I don't think the fake Queen wants you dead. See, we can't get out. Only you can escape Wonderland," he said, his voice sad sounding and watching the spot where Chesh had vanished from. Almost as quickly as the sadness came it left, replaced by a chipper attitude. He waved his hands, clearing smoke from the air in front of him. "I told you before you bug, no smoking at the table!" He yelled at the Caterpillar, still waving to keep the smoke at bay. It wasn't that the Caterpillar was bad, just talked in a way where Hatter couldn't follow.

 

[KneelingAngel]

Ophelia wasn't annoyed with the smoke that much, her father smoked as well so she was used to it. "I am Ophelia." She told the caterpillar, keeping a safe distance taking a sip of her tea. "Um.. Apparently Daughter Alice. Can you still smoke letters?" She questioned.

The Caterpillar gave him a look."Calm your self hatter..." he said and in hailed and exhaled smoke. The Caterpillar nods and blew out the word who."No, stupid girl, just like your mother.Who... are.. you?" the Caterpillar asks."you must find this out before you try your hand at the Queen."He says and blew out the smoke again.

[KneelingAngel]

"I told you, I'm Ophelia." Ophelia said again. She leaned closer to Mad Hatter and whispered... "I think that guy smoked too much.. What was the thing I need to find out? The reason why the queen wants me dead?" She asked the caterpillar. "I'm seventeen and blond, you might as well spell it out for me." She joked.

[QUOTE="Soul OMU]Ace shrugs his shoulders. "I can't hate someone for doing what they were born to do. It would be like hating Duchess for being so kind and believing there is good in everyone..." he said while looking at him. "She did what she did out of love... She couldn't bare it if something were to happen to you... Even if she told you to stay away... you should go to her. She'll understand if you tell her why you can't stay away..." he said while sighing softly. "Oh but what do I know... I don't know what you feel."

[/QUOTE]
"Alright..." He sighed still not pleases with Ace's response. If possible, it made him feel worse abut what he'd done. "Very soon Magnolia and I have to test that Not Alice girl." He thought out loud feeling the call of his powers alerting him that the Time of Choice was drawing near.


He tuned back into reality at the second of Ace's response. " But I also can't go against her wishes Ace. And I've already told her why I can't stay away, but she's determined to keep me safe." He laughed in disbelief. "Me..."

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Ace leans more on his left side. "She wishes to keep you safe because you are important to her... Your the most important person in her life.. Aside from family." he said while leaning against a tree. "I'm not going to say how deep these feelings go since... it's not for me to tell. Also isn't the knight suppose to be the one protecting the princess, not the other way around?" he said slightly confused for a moment before shaking his head. "Oh well..."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

The caterpillar pillar looks at her."No find out who you are. Stupid girl."He says. He blew out enough smoke and when it was gone the Caterpillar was not any where insight. He had gone back to sitting on his mushrooms. The caterpillar was one of the more unfriendly creatures, he was a good guy just very abrupt.

Hatter rolled his eyes and took a sip of his tea, dropping sugar cubes into the tiny cup. "I doubt that worm has ever breathed anything but smoke," he said, not bothering to lower his voice. Sugar continued to build up in his tea, turning it into a brown sludge as he continued adding more. "I hate to admit it but he's right, a girl should know who she is and isn't before taking on a challenge. Otherwise she isn't who she is to fight," he said and stood up, moving to a different seat and abandoning his cup, sugar cubes piled up almost as tall as the dish itself.

 

[Athens]

"I can't change that woman's mind Ace. She's very determined and stubborn when she wants to be." He replied getting irritated at the thought, and just how true it was. "And if you believe so much in that cheesy fairy tale crap, then help me save the princess."

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Ace chuckles slightly into his hand. "That would be her... But... Alright... I'll help you save her... But we have to be careful... The Queen wants me dead... Along with my mother since her spell won't affect our land..."
