Alice in... her Dreamland?

THE Alice

       What William had said had definitely scared me, just a little more than a teensy bit, but if there was something that I needed to do in order to help protect my friends here in Dreamland then I would, even if it meant my own life. Yes, I am that extreme. I looked up at him silently, waiting for him to say something more.

        "We should go find Abslom," he whispered quietly to me. 

         "Okay, that's a great idea..." I whispered even quieter than he did. "Just let me get dressed..."

         "What's the point? No one here cares what you wear." I gave him a nasty look.

          "There are some requirements to what a lady must wear when in the presence of men."

          "What... a crotchless thong?" he said with a smirk that earned him a hard cuff to the ear.

         "No, a bra you fucking jackass!" I whisper screamed as I stomped back into my room and emerged in skinny jeans and a Skillet T shirt with heavy black eyeliner.

         "Damn you look good. Guess this is an ok substitute for the thong." I smacked him again... he is way too comfortable with me and that is whats gonna get him killed... not by someone else, by me.

***At Absolom's***'

          We stood on Ambolom's door step as an intense scent of heavy smoke wafted out of his house. "Should we knock?" I asked William, who is already 90% forgiven.

          "Nah, he is used to visitors," he said as he opened the door and walked in.

          A throghty, raspy voice shouted from the other room, "William can you please fucking knock next time, that was very impolite." William knocked on the wall that divided the two rooms. "Very funny young man."

          "I thought so," he said as he turned the corner and sat on a chair that was conveniently placed directly next to the doorway. I quickly followed and sat next to neither of them on a different side of the room. "This is the new Alice," William said pointing to me.

          "I know dipshit I see everything rememeber?"

          "Oh yeah, forgot about that." God William was being weird today, not at all like himself. "So, is she the Alice to bring the Red Queen down?" he asked getting straight to the point, much more like him.

          "Yes," Absolom said without even so much as glancing at me. 

          "Are you sure?" William asked, a sad and disappointed look settling over his face.

          "Yes, I can feel it young hatter. She shall bring down the evil bitch and peace shall be restored forever in Dreamland. I have lived many long generations waiting for you my young Alice."

          "How old are you?" I asked taking in his small, sullen figure with long whispy white hairs protruding everywhere but the top of his head.

          "I am as old as Dreamland itself, I created the land, therefore I know its fate and I know every second, every little detail, every possible path everybody here can take. You my dear, decide the fate of this land. You can put your life on the line and possibly defeat her, or you could die trying and have all of Dreamland destroyed including the original Alice. Or you could live here and enjoy everything as long as you like and possibly be killed by the reds. And finally, you could leave now and let Dreamland unravel like a thread and loose us all.... your choice my dear," he said pleasantly.

          "I will defeat the Red Queen, the original Alice, and restore peace and order to Dreamland, for my new friends."
