Lost In Wonderland

Chapter Three - Meeting The Red Queen

"Hatter was right, it is red and white", Alice said to herself. She walks down and reaches the gate of what is in front of her. A guard came up and asked "What is your name, girl", he asked. Alice was about to say her name but remembered what Hatter said ' Say your name is Isabelle', so she did. "My name is Isabelle, may I come in to see the queen", she said back to the guard. After a long silence and he let her in and told Alice 'Follow me, mis', he said and she did follow him inside the castle of Salazen Grum. As they walk in a long hallway to reach the queen Alice heard someone yelling at someone as they reach where the noise was. "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD, that's for eating my tarts", said the red queen. Alice was shocked that the red queen did that to someone, but at least it wasn't her well not yet anyway. "My queen", he said to the leadership. The queen looked at him and notice a girl, that look like she wasn't from her. "Who is this?", she said in somewhat an angry tone of her voice. "This is Isabelle, she wanted to see you, your elegancy", he said back while bowing his head. "Alright, leave me and this girl alone", she said while turning around and going to her thrown. "But your highness", he said back but the red queen didn't like that. "Don't ever talk back to your queen, like that or it's off with your head", she said. He nodded his head and told her "Site, right next to me girl", she said to Alice. And she did. "Where are my fat boys, you should meet them", she said to her. After a while of awkward silence, her fat boys come to see the queen. Alice looked at them and was getting signs to them like 'Don't say anything, please' or 'Don't let the red queen know I am, Alice' they saw fear in her eyes and decided to play nice for a little while since she doesn't want to be caught by the red queen of a broken heart."Speak boy, amused us." she said to them but nothing came out and the queen lost her pactions "SPEAK", she yelled out. And after a while, the fat boys did as they were told, and when they heard the queen laugh it was time for them to go. "Now girl, what about you go get dressed and get pretty, well not pretty as me", she said to her. Alice was guided to one of the rooms of the castle. Since the queen wanted her to wear a nice dress that represents her castle was red and white. So after a long while of them measuring Alice they finally found the size for Alice where. It was a dress that was white with red coming up from the bottom from the dress. Also, have the shoes to match as well. Alice decided to exsclpor the red queen castle for a bit and after a while of just walking around. She saw a man with black hair walking past her without even looking at her. Alice kept walking since it was time for her and the red queen to start having some dinner together. It was really quiet even while eating since there was nothing to do in her castle anyways. Alice decided to break the silence and ask the queen of hearts a question that even the queen didn't want to answer. "Your highness, do you have a sibling?", asked the red queen. "Yes, I do. She's known as The Queen of white in this world", she said back to Alice. Since Alice was spending the night getting fed, resting, and having tea with the red queen but something just seems off in this world but Alice couldn't figure out why. "So why did you want to know, if I had a sibling?", she asked. "Well, you seemed like the youngest in a royal family", she said back. It was the silents that put Alice on age, a little more since they were walking while talking. "So was I that offsite to read that I'm the youngest in my family?", the red queen asked her while mid-stopping. "Yes, it was. I use to have siblings as well but...", that made the queen wanted to know more about Isabelle since she thinks she can be good friends with her. "What happened to your sibling, if you don't mind", The red queen asked kindly. "My sibling died when I was only 4 years old, in an accident", she said back holding her tears. The red queen kinda felt sorry for Isabella until the next day in the red queen castle. Alice decided to sneak around the castle to find the white queen. To see where she lives and where she is hiding. Until one faithful day while she was wandering a round quietly she head to a room with bunches of books and scrolls. As she was searching for the red queen sister since Alice was told not to leave. After a nice long while, Alice heard footsteps and took what she saw and left. "What were you doing in that room, girl", the unknown man said to her. 'This is the man that walked past me, earlier' she said in her thoughts. "I was looking for the bathroom, and when I opened the door it wasn't so", she said while struggling to find the right words. "The bathroom is to the right and down the hall, you can't miss it". He said right back to Alice. She walked back while holding information about the white queen and the location of where she lived. As for Alice going back to her room, she looked at the papers and the map. "It said here, that the queen of white lives in Marmoreal, Underland. It is said to have cherry blossoms blooming on a sunny day." And Alice continued reading about the white queen castle. "The white queen castle is inspired by the pieces and board of a chess game and it seems to be entirely built of marble. It has a predominantly white color, which matches its ruler's name and appearance. Since the white queen hasn't been seen or heard off in years no one hasn't seen her for 30 years or more". Alice was confused on why haven't anyone has seen her in years. "It looks like her name is Queen Miran-", Alice stopped what she was about to say and turned her head to her bedroom door. It was the same man before. "So you weren't lost, in the red queen castle", he said while walking closer to her. "So you were looking for the white queen but why we gave you food, shelter being kind to you what next to do you want. The queen crown", he said and wanted, for the girl to speak. "Please, let me go I promise I won't return ever again", she said with fear in her voice. He grabbed her and threw her into the sail with no food, or water for 3 days. "So tell me, your name is not Isabella is it.", he said and saw Alice being shocked that he found out her name is actually "Alice", he said. "How do you know that", she asked. He pulled Hatter from the darkness and notice his head was no longer attached to his body anymore. "This man was the one who told he all about you, the red queen will love to have a chat with you", he said while walking away leaving Hatter head near Alice sail. Alice was seating there alone in the quiet until she notice writing on the wall. It read 'The red queen, tells lies, the red queen kills, and the red queen-". The sentence stopped right when 'The red queen' as the blood trail goes down to the corpse's body. When she saw Hatter's body. "How long has he been here?", Alice questioned. On the second day, the red queen went down the sailer and gave Alice some questions but Alice was having trouble memorizing everything including her past. But she did her best to give answers to the red queen the best way she can. "You lied to me. I GAVE YOU FOOD AND A HOME, AND THIS IS HOW YOU PAY ME. How disappointing Alice. How disappointing", she said and left. It was Alice's last day in a jail sail and now it was off with her head. Alice decided to trick the guards to get the key. After a long struggle to grab the key she uncuffed herself and grabbed a brick and knock out both of the queen guards. As she was sneaking and running to find an exit out of the red queen castle after a long while of running she finally made it out. She heard the queen "AFTER HER", in the distance and when Alice went into hiding she finally lost them. But one thing she needs to keep in mind is that they are not done searching for her. 

-Back at the red queen castle pov-

"We tried to find her everywhere but with no luck, your elegancy", the guards said to their queen. The red queen throws her crown at them. "I don't care, how long it takes for you to find her. I want her found alive now GO. FIND HER. NOW", she said back with full hatred. As she watched them leave her castle to go find Alice. "Oh, please how far can this girl get on her own".

- end of The red queen castle pov-

Alice was trying to find the white queen castle until she remembered that 'the only way to find, the white queen castle. Is to find the cherry blossoms trees.' So Alice went on a hunt to go find them. After a long day and night of searching but with no luck until she saw a girl that playing with a ball. Alice watched the girl play and notice the ball rolled to Alice. The little girl was running until she saw Alice. 'Excuse me, miss. Can I have my ball back?' the little girl said.  Alice crouched down and gave the little girl the ball. Before the little girl was about to leave she asked the girl a question. "Little girl, do you know where the white queen is?", she asked. 'Why, do you want with my mother. Who are you, she said slowly backing away. "Well I need her help, can you bring me to her", Alice waited for the girl and she saw a nod from her. 'Please, follow me. Alice follows the little girl to the white queen's castle. As they arrived they notice the guards blocked Alice's path. 'She wants to see, my mother now stops it', the little said. The guards moved out of Alice's way and continued walking. They went inside and the little girl told her "Stop right here, I'll go get my mother for you", she said. And Alice did what she was told. After a long wait, she saw the little girl again and she brought her mother as well. "My daughter told me you wanted to see me", she asked Alice. "Your mother is, Queen Mirana", said Alice in shock.
