The mad hatter had explained the war to me. I was all for the cause. I would also be able to get Enzo back and use him for good. It all took effect tonight. I was ready. We had waited years. Alice didn't seem to grow. It was odd. But hen again she was always odd. Speaking of a world with no magic. She didn't want to return but something told me she needed to. Just the way she looked at the sky and cried. I came to the hatter.
"I'm ready."
"Ok the queen is waiting in the next room with Alice."
I walk in. Alice was talking to the white queen around a board made up of all the battle plans. Alice looked toward me and smiled.
"Ready?"
"I believe so. Are you Alice?"
"I hope."
"Tonight will be victorious I can feel it. Families will be reunited. Friends will be as well."
The white queen's voice was smooth and comforting. She gave me strength. Alice and I headed out onto the battle field leading the troops. I squeezed her hand. She smiled but her eyes filled with fear.
"We will all be fine."
We stop at the front line. The queens talked. The white queen asking for forgiveness and asking not to follow through. As soon as the words left her mouth the red queen charged. The battle broke out. I ran toward the castle slicing anyone who came at me with my sword. When I made it to the castle I ran to the dungeons. I heard the roar of the jabberwocky. It flew over me. I ducked into an empty cell. It slithered up the stairs. I ran down the hall way.
"Emma!"
A cry that is so familiar. Enzo. I run faster and bust the lock on the cell. We are reunited and I grab his back spike and jump on his back. We fly up to the outside. I look to Alice and she is in battle with the jabberwocky. Alice with one smooth motion cut the head of the jabberwocky off. With that the battle was done.
