Mystery In Wonderland

Chapter 5

"Caterpillar, are you hiding some valuable information? We can't waste time. The Hatter needs to find Alice."

The caterpillar looked at the Cat boredly. "Not hardly." The caterpillar said. "Pardon? Is that supposed to stop me from asking?" Cheshire asked, and the caterpillar gave her the same answer. "Not hardly. " While blowing a puff of smoke on her face.

~ To The Hatter ~

The Hatter looked at the dormouse and thought, 'How is this possible!? She's supposed to be dead! She's supposed to be in her casket...why is she here?'

As the Mad Hatter was thinking, the dormouse took out her sword and stabbed the Mad Hatter in her shoulder. Even though the sword was small, it's damage was massive. The Hatter couldn't move, she was still stunned by the appearance of the dormouse.

"You might just as well say," The Dormouse said slowly, it almost looked as she were talking in her sleep, ''That I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing as "I sleep when I breathe"! But now I breathe no more, and my sleep is for eternity........"

The Mad Hatter screamed in pain, the pain snapped her back to reality. The dormouse repeated what she said, but the time ending with a sad squeek. "W-why, wh-why Hatter." Those where the words that the poor dormouse spoke as she was being tortured by the Hatter.

Even though the Mad Hatter was in pain, she couldn't ignore what the dormouse said. Those words lingered in her mind, repeating itself over and over and over again. The Hatter couldn't take this anymore. Was this her punishment? Was it now her turn to get tortured for the things she had done. The dormouse took out the sword from the Hatter's shoulder and slashed her across the stomach.

"What had broken you that day. " The Hatter heard the mouse say, and with those few words all the memories of that day came flooding back in.

"N-no." The Mad Hatter whimpered. "NO NO NO NO!!!" she screamed "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" She slammed her hands to her head, hoping that the memories would go away.
"W-why Hatter wh-why?" The Mad Hatter fell down to the ground, gripping her head tightly, while whispering 'get out of my head, repeatedly to herself.
The dormouse turned to the Hatter and stabbed her once again in the shoulder, crying loudly as she asked, "Why Hatter!? Why Hatter! Why!!!!!"

The memories of the Mad Hatter and the Dormouse

The dormouse was asleep next to the Hatter, as the Hatter was having tea with the march hare. Alice was there too of course, wanting to spend time with the three.
"And a very happy unbirthday to you Alice!" The Hatter yelled with a wide smile. "Thank you Hatter. "All was as crazy and mad as any other day. Until one of the Queen's guards appeared, stating that the queen requested the Hatter's presence. The Hatter quickly went with the guard to meet with the Red Queen. This would regularly happen, when the Queen needed something very important done. She couldn't send one of her guards for these jobs for they would be useless in very dangerous situations. That is why she sent the Hatter , the amount madness the Hatter held would scare any thing that got in her way. 'But everything seems fine today.' The Hatter thought, ' I wonder if it's an animal that's causing distress, perhaps even an elf. Or maybe it's one of the sewer henchmen or maybe it's-' The Hatter was cut off from her thought by one of the guards screaming her name "MS.MAD HATTER!?" "Um...... Yes? What is it.? "She asked, looking at the guard, wondering why he had interrupted her train of thought. "We're here. " He said, aggravated.

The Hatter looked in front of her and saw the entrance to the Queen's quarters. "OH!! When did we get here!?" The Hatter asked "We've been here for ten minutes! I've been trying to get your attention this whole time. " The guard yelled, getting increasingly annoyed by the Hatter.

The Mad Hatter walked into the Queen's palace "You called for me, my Queen?" the Hatter asked. "Of course I called for you! If I didn't, why would you be here." Said the Queen, rather annoyed. "There could be many reasons. For example -" the Hatter was cut off by the Queen . "Okay! Hatter, we get it." Said the Queen before the Hatter got extremely annoying.

Oh, how the Hatter loved to mess with the Queen, if she could do this every day, it would become her new hobby. But unfortunately, the Red Queen made a rule. Now the Hatter wouldn't be a bother and this rule states; The Hatter will not come anywhere near the palace unless she is requested by the Queen.

"Anyway Hatter, there have been a couple of murders around the kingdom. We have kept it a secret from the people but I doubt it will last long. So, I need you to find out who's killing these people and bring him to me. However, if you fail... OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!! Now go! We don't have time to waste! "The Queen demanded.

BACK TO CHESHIRE

The caterpillar stared at the Cheshire cat and kept quiet, smoking his hooka without a care in the world. Cheshire sat next to the caterpillar, slapping him with her tail by accident, also staying silent. It stayed silent till the caterpillar took a whiff of his hooka and breathed out an enormous amount of smoke. "Busy work, busy work." He said as his smoke took the form of monsters and attacked the Cheshire cat. Cheshire flipped backward, putting some distance between them. "I'm a bit disappointed in you Caterpillar."

"Its all just busy work." He replied as the monsters made of smoke attacked Cheshire.

"Caterpillar, aren't you the least bit curious of what happened to Alice." Cheshire said, trying to distract the caterpillar.

"Not at all." The caterpillar said.

'Well...that was a fail.' Cheshire thought, her ears twitched, showing her slight annoyance.

"Caterpillar, must we fight? This isn't necessary." Cheshire teleported behind the caterpillar and held her claws against his neck. "I'm warning you. Call them off."
