"There is something I have to do." Helaena remarked.
"Don't forget out me." Hatter requested.
"I could never forget you." Helaena assured kissing him again. "Maybe we meet again one day." Helaena offered.
"What a wonderful thought." Hatter agreed. she drank the blood of the jabberwocky and she pulling herself out of a rabbit hole. The white queens words echoed in her mind.
"Helaena, you cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be yours."
The choice was hers. This was her life. She wasnt going to let anyone choose her path. She choose the path.
When she got back she saw Aemond sliding off of Vhagars back.
"Hela I did it!" He exclaimed.
"I knew you would." Helaena assured him.
"What's wrong? You look like you took a tumble.' aemond remarked.
"I need to speak to mother." Helaena remarked.
''It's him.'' Rhaena remarked bitterly.
''It's me.'' Aemond agreed, he just had the ride of his life, he had a dragon now.
''Vhagar is my mother's dragon.'' Baela shouted.
''Your mother's dead. And Vhagar has a new rider now.'' Aemond said proudly.
''She was mine to claim.'' Rhaena shouted in outrage.
''Then you should've claimed her!'' Aemond countered smugly. 'Maybe your cousins can find you a pig to ride. It would suit you.'' Rhaena didn't like that one bit she charged at him. Both twins but Aemond struck them down. ''Come at me again and I'll feed you to my dragon!'' Aemond warned and Jacaerys yelled out as he charged. They all charged at Aemond getting him to the ground, punching him. Helaena quickly became flustered as they shouted and attacked her brother. Aemond kicked the girls off and sent a punch to Luke's face, breaking his nose.
''You will die screaming in flames just as your father did! Bastards.'' Aemond declared as he stood up.
''My father's still alive.'' Luke corrected
"Enough." Helaena demanded, she had found her strength in wonderland and she wasn't about to let anyone take that from her again. "I fought the red queen, I killed the damn Jabberwocky, I restored wonderland to its glory and left a really wonderful man to come back here because I choose my own path. I needed to be brave." Helaena informed them. "I killed the fucking Jabberwocky!" She repeated. "I'm quite done with all this gibberish!" they stared back at her confused. "Come on, we need to talk to mother." Helaena declared grabbing Aemonds hand and pulling him with her.
"She killed a what?" Jace questioned.
"She's bonkers." Baela reminded him.

"Helaena, Aemond, what are you doing out of bed?" Alicent questioned. Helaena looked around the council room, she had to be brave.
"I was never in bed, I was in wonderland." Helaena informed her seriously.
"Helaena not this again." Alicent muttered.
"I learned a lot and I found my voice and I won't let you or father or Aegon snuff it out again." Helaena declared.
"What are you on about?" Viserys countered.
''Father, Mother I won't marry Aegon." Helaena informed her. "He is a drunk and I don't want my life to be miserable."
"Helaena-"
"I love you mother but I want to be free, like a butterfly, and I love insects, and rabbits, flowers, I'm not meant to be someone's broodmare. I meant to be tall and strong and confident."
"Helaena-" Viserys tsked.
"You called mother Aemma today. Your mind is failing and I won't be mean about it." Helaena informed viserys. "But you might be bonkers, its okay the best people are."
She moved to Aegon next, he was still tired and hung over but she stood tall next to him.
"You are going down a path, a path you created for attention and power because you are not the heir and think they dont love you." Helaena remarked. "You were ready to drag me down with you but I'm not someone to be messed with." Helaena declared. "I killed the fucking Jabberwocky, you are like a mouse in comparison, not Mally though, shes a tough mouse." Aegon stared back at her as she moved to Otto.
"I know you are trying to help but I think starting with protecting lives of all sizes is important." Helaena informed Otto. "As newly appointed hand of the king, I hope you can show my father the light in this matter. Animals are our friends and need to be protected not hunted." Helaena glanced back at Viserys. "I honestly think you could pass this royal decree and he wouldnt know as I said..." she twirled a finger around.
"Aemond, you were the only person to love me as I am." Helaena remarked. "I'm leaving this place and I want you to come with me." Aemond nodded immediately and Alicent groaned out.
"You can't be serious." Alicent declared.
"Goodbye mother." Helaena said turning to her. "For the record, I love rabbits especially the white ones."
"Where too?" Aemond asked as he helped Helaena up.
"Anywhere, everywhere!" Helaena declared as she held onto him. She had never felt more free.
She saw a blue butterfly as she sailed with Aemond on Vhagars back.
"Hello Absolem." Helaena said a smile curving her face as they flew off.
