Alice, This Is Your Wonderland

Chapter Five: Prisoner Or...?

An arm wrapped itself around my shoulders and then I felt a cold metal touch my throat, "You make one more noise, of even move, I will slit your throat and leave you here for the Red Queen to bleed dry"

The metal tip pressed against the delicate skin of my throat, my hands were on the arm that held my against the male who held me captive with a dagger to my throat.

"State who you are"

"Alice-"

"Alice, The Alice? The White Agents Alice?"

I remained quiet, not knowing how to answer, or if I did... would he kill me?

"Answer me or-"

"I-I don't know, please let me go"

"How about I snapped your neck?" he hisses into my ear.

"How about you let me go and i'll go back home?" 

"N-" I felt my heart pick up speed as I stomped my foot down, onto the mans foot and drove my elbow into his ribs, he makes a 'puff' and let me go. I pushed away from him and started to run into the forest.

"COME BACK HERE!" I heard him roar as I pushed past the branches that clawed at my skin, dress and hair. My feet thumped against the dead ground as I tried to figure away out away to get out of this first - preferably away from the man and just... home.

That's all I wanted, home.

I heard loud thunderous foot steps behind me and I felt my heart fly into my throat as I felt the world close around me, the forest seemed to transform - the trees turned gloomy as the loomed over me and watched me run and panic.

A howling gust of wind fell over me and I skidded to a stop, panting as I turned around, trying to see what way I should go - or the way I cam from. I heard the lound thumps all around me - i'm so confused right now.

The trees groaned and seemed to grow taller and more threatening-like as if they were alive.

"GET DOWN!" I whipped around - only to be tackled to the ground by a black blur. I hear the roaring of the wind before it just seemed to vanish instantly. I looked up to find a boy with big silver eyes staring down at me.

"Got you" he grins, before pressing the dagger against my neck.

"You-"

"Shh, i'll make it quick, and hopefully the queen won't find you conscious"

He glances around  before staring back down at me, he held my hands above my head and was pinning me to the ground by sitting on me, "Alice... the Alice" he mumbles, his eyes staring down into mine as I stared up of him - completely confused by the whole series of events.

"Let me go-"

"Come with me"

"NO! Why would I go with someone whose holding a blade to my neck?!" he sighs - and that's when I kneed him where the sun don't shine. He grunts, and his hands tightened around my wrists. He grunts, his forehead hit mine as he squeezes his eyes shut.

"Get. Off. Of. Me" I struggled in his hands before I managed to roll us over, I sat on top of him, both of us struggling with each others hands as I tried to get him to let me go and he was probably trying to hold me down to kill me.

"Stop-" I elbowed the boy the in the face, we rolled over each other - both of us trying to get the upper hand as I kicked and flailed around.

Then we rolled over the top of the hill, we tumbled down the hill, over rocks and sharp objects as we bumped into each other and banged our heads against the earth.

Soon we slowly rolled to a stop and I slowly opened my eyes - to find the boy three metres away from me wasn't moving. 

I sat up, feeling the sting of the small cuts and scrapes on my arms and legs - even my cheeks stung. I slowly pulled myself onto my feet and held my left arm and cradled it as pain pierced through my arm as I moved it, but my throbbing arm wasn't my main priority at the moment.

I slowly stumbled forward, my eyes never leaving the boys motionless body. 

My eyes stung a bit, before I bent down next to him and pulled him so he faced the sky, I looked around us, before I saw the shiny blade. I scrambled towards it and returned to the boy. I stared at his pale face, his jet black hair and odd inhumane features.

The dagger in my hand felt heavy as I stared at the boy before I put both of my hands on the dagger and I stared down at him with a blank face, once he wakes up... he'll come after me. This... I guess... the only way? 

I sat on my knee's and positioned myself next to the boy and then went to drive the dagger through his chest - but his eyes snapped open and hands flew up to mine as I tried to pierce his chest with the dagger, "I knew you were the Queen's-"

"Screw the Queen" I spat before I put my whole weight into pushing the knife through the boys chest - who might I add looks about the same age as me.

He grunts as we wrestled for the dagger, he sits up, causing me to fall onto my bum as he pushed the dagger before he pushed it further away from the both of us, but I still didn't let the dagger go.

He twists it around - causing my hands to let the dagger go, but he did to. It fell onto the blue grass and we both turned and stared at each other before we both dived for it.

We elbowed, hit and kicked at each other as we tried to climb over each other and get hold of the dagger, "Let me go you little-" my head hits his face and he he lets me go, I crawled forward for the dagger - until a hand grabs onto my ankle and yanks me back.

I screamed as I was dragged backwards by the boy. I flipped myself over and kicked at the boys hand and scrambled away from him.

I claw at the ground as I grabbed the dagger and turned before seeing the boy stand over me. He stomps his foot down - onto my arm.

My hand open and I let the dagger fall onto the blue grass and I tried to kick him away, but it didn't work. He goes to pick the dagger up but I suddenly grabbed onto the dagger again and then I threw it away from us.

"WHY WOULD YOU EVEN-?!" 

I pushed him away from me and then I tried to crawl away from him again - but the opposite direction from the dagger.

The boy stands still, probably trying to figure out if he'll go after me or go for the dagger.

Then I was tackled to the ground - guess he made his decision - me.

"Alice... I can't let you go without-"

"CREEP!" I screamed, only for a cloth to be put over my mouth and nose. I struggled in his arms as he pinned me still as the fumes burned my throat and nose.

"Mmmmph!" I thrashed around before I tried to scratch his face.

He grunts as I slowly went limp as he sighs and sits up, "Alice, with your eyes... you are the Right Alice, i'm sorry for doing this... but from the looks of it, you're very stubborn"

The cloth was removed from my face as I was rolled onto my back and two arms picked me up.

"My name is long lost, Alice... but you can call me The Hatter, Mad if you'd like - The Mad Hatter is my name. And Alice... sleep tight, don't want the Jabberwocky's bite,eh?"

With that, I was dragged into the depths of the darkness that plagued my mind.
