The Twisted Wonderland.

|8| Guests Have Arrived

Song for this chapter: Love story

Haileys P.O.V

Only an half and hour more and everyone will be here. I invited everyone just so it wasn't obvious I just wanted to see her. I invited people even off of wonderland.
Ugh, my makeup slave isn't even lining my eyes right! I slapped her and she gasped then apologized immediately.
She ought to have, the slaves don't behave like they used to. Maybe I should be tougher on them, like my mother.
Oh how I truly miss her, but I wonder how she would react if she found out where my heart wants to be. I started to laugh thinking how my mother used to say that she didn't have a heart for anyone except me. My makeup slave just quickly gave me a questioning look. I raised my hand threating her and she immediately put full attention back on making my eyes standout.
I had a nice ombré of purple, pink, silver, and white powder on my eyes. Man is my face cleaner slave gonna have a hell of a time later trying to take this off with out hurting me.
Getting lost in my thoughts I haven't even realized she started on my lips so I'm almost done. I snapped my fingers for my hair slave to do some final touch ups. She came in running out of breath and quickly put butterfly spit in my hair. The best hair tamer and shiner ever found. It leaves it smelling like flowers and barely anyone knows about its great resources.

So unfortunate that it takes about 100 to make a bottle, but my hair is worth it, I'm royalty.   When they were done only 15 minutes left until the doors were allowed to be opened. I can already hear the bustling and hustling out there. I stood up next to my wall length mirror.

My father had ordered my whole wall to become a mirror when I was 5. He said a princess should always be perfect in every way and to do that is practice and watch your errors and correct them.

So I practiced my walk in my 5 inch heels and my 2ft thick tutu skirt. The top had short sleeves and was golden and lilac colors all over to accent my fair tone skin and makeup. I looked confident on the outside maybe even queen ready. On the inside I was dying I felt like a nervous wreck .

What if she had a traumatizing experience with the color gold? Or white? Or black ? Those color streamers were all over the walls in the banquet hall downstairs.

My stomach was doing somersaults.
  
  What if she was a vegetarian? There was only a small salad area ? Maybe I should order the staff to make more vegetarian foods. Like soup! Wait we only have chicken soup! Or how about vegetable soup ? What if she doesn't like one of the vegetables in there?

  While freaking out over small things one of the staff informed me that it's about to start in 5 minutes. So I decided to take 3 of those minutes and calm down. I didn't have to be there until 10 minutes the queen never walks in at the start she makes a grand appearance once she is informed that the majority of the guests are there.
Once I calmed down a bit I practiced my speech. " Hello good people of wonderland and of other places thank you for coming to my ball -blah blah blah- I know it was short notice, but is it really short notice just to have a good time? Blah blah Thank you again and please enjoy yourselves and help yourselves to our grand buffet."

It's formal yes but everything about this has to be formal unless I get her alone far away then I will have no idea what to expect. I'll let my heart do whatever and let my common sense get lost.
Taking in my last few minutes of confinement before I get to sit down again I just sat. Looking out the window out into my kingdom. All the huge mushrooms the great mix of vibrant colors in the sky. And all the great heaps of transportations people took to get here.

They took caterpillars dogs, and of course the famous hats. They evolved into different sizes and speeds. I put a little bit more spit in my hair. Gave my feet a quick massage did a couple breathing exercises and I was out. Carefully making my grand entrance I feel the pink faded light the fireflys were giving me and the music dying down.
Then I heard people saying in hushed tones " is that the queen?" "She looks beautiful" "what was this ball about again". And tons of hushed conversations, when I cleared my throat. I said my speech got a couple of laughs and and a huge applause.
Then walking down I saw her.
I thought she was beautiful before but now she was gorgeous. I hear people gasping then giving her nasty looks.
What are you looking at her like that for?!Then is saw slits on her sides and the long slit on her left leg.
"Scandalous" "the nerve" is all I heard but all I saw was brave and hot. Then someone tapped on my shoulder pulling me out of my gaze. It was a short stout man he then said " As you obviously see your highness hold on for a moment can we have a spotlight on this woman right here!" He pointed to Alice as the people cleared out of her path except a man who is he ... Then he turned around and I saw his face JAKE! I clenched my teeth and then exhaling to keep my cool I'll just kill him later.
Then the stout man kept talking "Ok as you have seen this woman whom we have know idea who has shown up here with nerve to look like that with so many inappropriate cuts showing to much skin and it's making many women uncomfortable what will you do about it?"
