Isabella seen the room in the back. She entered it. It was a dark room.
"Who is there? Who wants to join Jone Wells?"
"Jone Wells? Is that the boy I ran into earlier? He looked a lot like me, and we even have the same last name- Oh... YOU'RE MY LOST BROTHER."
"What's your name?" Jone asked, not being able to see the girl because of the darkness in the room, but remembering what she looked like based on their meeting earlier.
"I'm Isabella," she said. "Isabella Wells."
"You're my lost sister indeed."
Mr. Hatter interrupted.
"You know, I must say Jone I had your sister killed for a while, but I literally have already killed you. You're not here in this universe."
"WHAT?"
"You were the smartest brain I ever came across, you might as well give me a better life."
"No, you're not taking him," Isabella said.
"How can you stop me, I've got everything, you've got nothing. No escape, nothing. I've got your little Earth Machine, and that little Magic Mirror."
"Did you know there's even a remote that goes with the Earth Machine?"
"Yes I did. But that doesn't matter at the moment, let me go back to my parents."
"I can bring them here if you like," Mr. Hatter said.
"No!" Jone said.
Isabella felt around the dark, and got hold of a remote with one button. She hit Jone and he grabbed the remote. He instantly knew what it was, and hid it behind his back.
"You know Jone, I find it funny. I've got a hold of everything valuable in your life. I know your whole life, I watch it per day, hey, I've got more power than, say, the Overseer of Clocks."
Jone started feeling queasy. Mr. Hatter was taking what he needed.
"I've got your parents, your machine, your mirror, and your lost sister!"
"But I've got something you don't have."
"And what's that?"
"An escape- You have the Earth Machine, sure, but I can bring it right back to me."
Jone hit the button and the Earth Machine appeared in the room. They quickly entered it, and it took them home. Not two years away, but home. Home. Reality.
