Down The Rabbit Hole

the red castle

Alex, (Y/N) and the king of hearts sat in the throne room, Alex was now dressed in dark red clothes, he had dark red trousers, a shirt and a vest along with a bandage on his injured arm. Alex was giving (Y/N) slights glances with a soft smile. (Y/N) knew Alex had a plan but then llosvic walked into the room before bowing to the red king, he took one look at Alex and asks, " who is this man?" " um, my new favourite." the king said as he leans his arm on the arm of the throne, "  well, does he have a name?" llosvic said the king sighs quietly as he rubbed his eyes, " um." he repeated before llosvic looked at Alex and said, " I believe your name has slipped the king's mind" " his name is um, Idiot!" he king yelled out making the room go quiet. Alex looked at llosvic and said, " from umbradge". llosivc nodded before standing next to (Y/N) who was sitting on a chair next to the king of hearts. " any luck with the prisoner?" the king asks, " he's stubborn." llosvic replied, " bring him!" the king of hearts orders as the throne room door opens and knight leads the mad hatter into the room. Alex and (Y/N) gasps slightly as they saw the hatter in chains before he gently fell to his knees. " we know Alex has returned to Underland. do you know where he is?" the king of hearts said as the hatter slightly looked at Alex, who shook his head silently. the hatter is quiet for a moment before saying, " I've been considering things that begin with the letter "M" moron, mutiny, murder, malice." (Y/N) looked confused at his words before hearing the king of heart say, " we're looking an "A" word now." the king leans forward in frustration and said, " where is Alex?" he said as he grips the arms on his throne. " who, that wee little boy? I wouldn't know" the hatter said with a chuckle, " what if I take off your head? will you know then?" the king said as his anger grew. the hatter then started laughing maniacally before the king slammed his fist on the arm of the throne, " stop it!" he yelled out in anger. the hatter goes quiet for a moment before looking at (Y/N). " I must say, our future queen has a lovely shaped head, I should very much like that it" the hatter said. (Y/N) looked at the king in confusion. " hat it" she asks. 

the hatter stood up as the king's knights aimed the weapons at him. " I used to get the white king, you know." the hatter said, this made the king growl slightly as he remembers his own brother.  " wasn't very much to work with, poor dear. his head is so small." the hatter finished. the king of hearts leans back in his throne as he takes (Y/N)'s hand in his and said, " it's tiny. it's a pimple of a head" the king said before the hatter looked at (Y/N) before saying, " but this...what I could do with this beautiful head." (Y/N) looked confused as the king nodded slightly. " unbind him, stayne." he said. stayne looked confused as he looked at the king but before he could get a word out of his mouth the king stopped him by answering, " how can he work if his hands are bound?" stayne pulled out his sword making Alex get ready to jump from his seat, but then stayne cuts the chains in two realising the hatter from them. Alex relaxed at that moment before slowly lowering himself back to his seat. the hatter smiled before taking step towards (Y/N). " well, then. shall it be a bonnet or a boater?" the hatter asks her, she looked confused at what was going on, she looked at Alex who smiled at her, reassuring her that everything was a hand. 

meanwhile, at the white castle, the white king was walking through the castle gardens with some of his friends. the white king was dressed in white clothes with a medium cape fowling behind him. " the trees seem sad, have you been speaking to them" he asks his female friend. " yes,  your majesty" she replied. " perhaps a bit more kindly" he said before they could hear faint barking in the distance. the white king looked over the balcony that was overlooking the courtyard and saw bayard running in. he turned to his friends and said, " would you all excuse me for a moment? thank you" everyone bowed slightly before going their separate ways. the king waited for them to leave before he jumped over the balcony and landed on the ground, he took off running towards bayard before kneeling in front of him. " what news, bayard?" he asks. bayard panted before saying, " Alex has returned to Underland." the king smiled before looking being bayard in confusion, " but where is he now?" he asks. " in Salazan grum" bayard replied. " forgive me. I allowed him to divert from his destined path" bayard said as he lowered his heading shame, the white king pets bayards head before saying, " no, no, no, no. but that is exactly where he will find the vorpal sword. but he must have his other reason to go there, what is it?" " he goes to rescue his maiden from the king of hearts." bayard said, the white king sighed with a smile, " then we have our champion. rest now. you've done well." the king said before bayard lay down in front of him making him chuckle who starts to pet him again.
