Back to Wonderland

Three.

"Always a feisty one." He smiles.

"Do you know where the key to the cell is?"

He shakes his head sadly.

"Emma, am I going to die tomorrow?"

"Not if I can help it!"

I pick the lock to the cell door.

It springs open neatly.

I hold it out to McTwisp.

"Here, hold this."

I turn back to the Hatter as it clatters onto the floor.

Cautiously, I pull the cell door open.

I run to Tarrant's side.

"I'll have you out of here in a blink."

He smiles.

"I knew you'd come back."

"How could I stay away?"

I have his hands unbound soon after.

I work at the chains on his ankles next.

"Maybe after all this is over, you could stay?"

"A tempting offer, my dear."

The chains clang against the dungeon floor.

I stand, then pull Hatter to his feet.

He doesn't let go of my hand.

Instead, he wraps his arms around me.

However, McTwisp's voice jolts us back.

"We need to get out of here before Stayne returns!"

Mally: "I hear footsteps!"

"Another way out, over there," Tarrant says.

We follow him out of the dungeons.

We hear Stayne curse loudly when he realizes he's lost the Hatter.

Oh, yeah. And me.
