Arise of the Cheshire Cat

Chapter 15

She sighed as she carried on walking, trying to remember the safest path to take her annoying extras. There was no doubt that they would have to cross The Hatters domain as well as The Queens, if possible, she wanted to stay away from Cheshire's Forest, the only one who could freely go between the worlds like after her summoning.

They would no doubt have to go though the Forest of Signs, and then that meant they would have to go though His part of this hellish abyss. She shuddered at the very thought. Why did these people try so hard to try and free someone, if they where in the Game that's where they stayed, why did she even agree to any of this?

She looked round at the only person who seemed pretty indifferent about the place he was in, a small smile on his face, what he was smiling about she didn't know, and she was pretty sure she didn't want to know.

"Look, we're gonna have to cross the path that takes us though some pretty dangerous places ok, so you have to stay put, got it?"

"Sure thing Rabbit" Caroline spoke, then cringed at the look she received and mumbled an quite apology, weather the albino woman herd or not, she said nothing on the matter.

They walked down the old path which was lightly littered with random bushes and trees. They seemed to notice that the more they walked down the road the more the Rabbit seemed to curl in on herself.

And they soon found out why.

There was a small hone on the corner of the road, it had seemed like that they had been traveling for quite some time now, and Cain and Nikita could no longer deny their hunger, and the smell of the food that admitted from the small cabin called out to them.

"Don't even think about going in there." The rabbit spoke harshly "Trust me, you'll only regret it"

"Now now Rabbit, that's not nice" They all looked round to see what appeared to be a young man standing there, his hair was a platinum blond, spiked up and yet in a ponytail at the same time, his had dark violet eyes, his skin was a golden caramel colour, he wasn't complete mussel, but firmly toned, he wore black combats, no top, the fag sat nicely at the corner of his lips.

"Caterpillar" The Rabbit hissed as he smirked at her, his eyes raking over her fame before turning to the other of the group where he raised a slender eyebrow. It was like sex radiated off of the demon, because no matter how human he seemed, they had to remember that's what he was, a demon.

"What soul have you collected?" He asked, his voice was naturally a deep growl, husky enough to make any man or woman feel drunk with lust.

"None, we are here on other matters, isn't your new Alice's soul more interesting then us"

"Nope" He answered with a crawl smile where they saw the demonic form slightly where his face seemed to stretch and the razor sharp teeth, there seemed too many to be comforting. "She wasn't strong enough, so I killed her" he cackled "Poor thing, only 13, how her begging though such thrill to my veins" he laughed

Johnathen went for him when he was stopped by a simple look on the Rabbits face.

"As interesting as that sounds, I must be on my way, must be lonely to be here on your own"

He smirked as he tilted his head to the side, as if he was thinking on something before the smirk became a frown. She nodded at him as he shrugged, walking back, but even as they walked past, they felt eyes on their back.

They where soon walking though the forest, which seemed to talk with the many signs, their branches like fingers that reached the endless sky. Nobody spoke as they reached the small spring in the woods, darkness surrounded them, it was no good to carry on when it was dark, not only was it risky with what lived in this world, they would tier easily.

"We're staying here for the night, it could be short or long, who knows." She spoke as they nodded and set up a makeshift camp, gathering any smack amounts of wood they could find, and relaying heavily on the rabbits magic.

Alistair sighed as he sat next to the rabbit, she was asleep on the floor, he carefully placed her head upon his lap, she mumble slightly but did not wake. Caz watched quietly from the other side, she notice how the man looked at the demon at his feet.

"How can you do it" She asked, he looked up at the red haired woman, a smile upon his face. As if he knew what she was on about?

"Their not all bad" He spoke, Caz clearly didn't understand as she looked at him. "I chose to o with her because she saved me." He spoke. "I lost both my parents in a civil war, and then just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I lost my little bro" He added "That's when Usagi appeared"

"Usagi?"

"She said she didn't have a name, and because she reminded me of a snow rabbit, I named her Usagi, it means Rabbit" he spoke "She helped raise me, and in tern, I wanted to help her. I looked up to her like a mother I guess" He added with a small laugh.

"And now?" Caz asked, and as she looked at him, she felt a knot in her stomach tighten, he didn't have to say, she knew.

"I have confidence that Usagi will save your Daughter" he spoke with a smile, and Caz nodded, she didn't know what to make of his confidence that was strong in his voice, before he went back to watching the albino woman who was sleeping.

Caz looked up at the trees, she had been so sure this was the right idea, but now, things where different when she had go here, not only was she mortal, she had no knowledge of this place, of her foes, of anything anymore.

She sighed and closed her eyes.

I promise I will get you back

Cheshire smiled as she watched the carnage take place at one of the homes she had tracked Hater to. She could only imagine what was taking place there, but smiled anyway when the demonic being exited the house.

Hatter scowled ass the woman appeared before her, their tail flapping from side to side, their ears twitching on their own. Her white eyes never leaving the demons face.

"We have guests in Wonderland thanks to White Rabbit" She smiled at the Hatter, flowing beside the demon as the calmly walked away from the home, making no effort to clean themselves up. "It could be interesting to add more souls into your collection right"

"What are you getting at Stray" Hatter sneered, a frown on the demons face as they looked at the woman. "I have other things to attend to."

"Well then, there is a bunch of people with The Rabbit seem to be quite powerful" Cheshire smirked "Bit of a risk letting them be around her don't you think?" Hatter looked at the woman, Cheshire was known for her manipulation skills, jus like Hatter, hence why such things in the world had been possible.

"As if I care, The Rabbit amuses me, do as you will"

"Ohh, I will, just warning you is all" Cheshire spoke "They'll be going after your realm to put you in their again" She said. Hatter looked at the demon and hissed in annoyance before looking at the demon cat.

"Well take me there then"

A portal opened up and Hatter stepped though, unable to see the smile playing on the demons face as she entered after the woman, she could let Hatter do the fighting with the others, after all, that's who thy mainly wanted right? She could then take out Hatter and the Rabbit, oh how fun this would be.
