I looked over at my companion, thoughts swirling through mind, "Do you think the Caterpillar will help? Maybe he doesn't want to help someone who ruined Wonderland." The Hatter let out a soft chuckle, "If anyone would forgive you ,my queen, it would be the Caterpillar." I stared at him until I gave in and gave a small nod. That's when I walked right into a purple puff of smoke. I coughed and chocked until I was able to clear it all. Our gaze fell on a tall yellow mushroom with a blue caterpillar lounging on its top. I rushed over and stood in front of the Caterpillar, staring up at him with a hopeful expression, "Can you bring Alice back. Please, I'm begging you."
He stared at me then let his gaze travel to the Hatter, finally resting on an area in the trees behind us. "Your Majesty, she is alive and I have a feeling she wants revenge. Hurry, you need to hide and-" A knife whizzes past the Queen of Hearts, grazing her right cheek. "There is no use running and hiding when all you have to do is DIE." I whipped my head to face the spot the knife came from and where the voice was emitted from. I saw a flash of blue before another knife was thrown in my direction. I yelped and jumped out of the way. I heard a sinister laugh and saw a figure emerging form the shadows that came with the night. "Did you miss me, Your Highness?" I flinched at the familiarity of the voice, that was now cruel and harsh.
Alice strode out from the foliage with a sinister grin adorning her features. Her light blue dress was smudged with dirt and blood, her long blond was tangled and matted, and her tights ripped and stained. She had her mouth sewed up into a smile, blood dripping from her lips, while her head floats above her shoulders with blood slowly dropping onto collar bone. Her right arm was dangling by her side, while her left hand held the knife, steadily dripping to the ground.
The Hatter reaches out to her, "Alice...what happened to you. I've...I've missed you so much!" he steps towards her but she pushes him aside and strides towards me. I back up into a tree, trying to avoid her grip. She shoves me roughly against the tree and raises her knife. "Off with your head my queen!'', she starts to sharply bring the knife down. But an inch away from my face the Hatter grabs Alice's hand. "Please...please don't do this Alice! Your better then her, don't hurt anyone. Please just come back to us and go back to being bright and wonderful, to being yourself." the Hatter pleaded with her....
Alice looked back at her old friend. She trusted him and a hint of her started to come back... she slowly, oh so slowly dropped her knife. She faced the Queen of Hearts, ''Explain'' she demanded. I explained everything, how I wanted to help, restore the kingdom, and help her. I even stared to cry, I just felt so bad. She looked at me and smiled. ''ok...I forgive you.", Alice muttered.
After this the Caterpillar got ride of all her cuts and pain. He restored her to exactly before I had killed her. She was good as new, A little disoriented but good as new.
