Saving Hearts

Chapter Two

"Where are we?" Alistair asked while staring at the blue light around them. "We are underneath the Hall of Doors, near The Sea of Tears Mister Wonderland." White Rabbit answered his question checking his pocket watch. "I didn't know that there was a passage beneath the Hall of Doors." Alistair told White Rabbit whilst recalling a few maps of Wonderland he's looked at. "Follow me." White Rabbit walked past Alistair. Meanwhile Alistair's mind was trying to unravel what White Rabbit was going to tell him, he caught up with White Rabbit. They walked until they reached a blue light, "Are we under the Sea of Tears at this minute?" Alistair looked up at the shifting light. "Yes." White Rabbit answered straightening his red waistcoat and brushing off his black coat. "Okay that answers one of many questions." Alistair shook his head. White Rabbit cleared his throat, "Mister Wonderland the reason why I brought you back home is that," White Rabbit sighed "The Queen of Hearts is in danger." Alistair blinked. "We need you're help to save her." White Rabbit stated. "I could guess that, but why me?" Alistair asked. "Cause you've got a fire that never goes out, you never give up. You let nothing stop you from achieving something. That's the thing we need to find out who's trying to rid of the Queen of Hearts." White Rabbit explained. "Okay, but why choose the kid who's got in fights since the first day of school?" Alistair questioned. "That's another thing is you're fighting skills. We need someone who can take someone down." White Rabbit gestured to Alistair. "Okay." Alistair responded. They approached an elevator shaft. Typing in a code the door slid open. Both of them entered, White Rabbit typed in another code which caused the door to slide back shut. Pulling his pocket watch out and checking the time and putting it back he turned to Alistair. "You might want to hang on." he advised. Alistair was cut off abruptly when the elevator shot up. Falling backwards, the railing supporting him from the fall. The surroundings grew dark. Suddenly the elevator jolted to a stop. The doors slid open to see a foggy forest in front of them. White Rabbit casually walked out while Alistair regained his thought process of what just happened. Stepping out of the elevator and into the fog. Looking back at the elevator to find that it was hidden inside a Tum Tum tree. White Rabbit was halfway up the path and Alistair ran to catch up with him. They walked in silence for a long time. The truth was that Alistair didn't want to disturb him. White Rabbit glanced around as if he was looking for someone. Reaching a point in the path where the trees were lined up in two rows, the branches forming a canopy over the path. Hearing a drifting noise behind them, both looked over their shoulders. Observing behind them for further noises they looked at each other with their faces in questioning expressions. "Jumpy are we?" a female voice purred. Swiveling to see a woman with purple silver hair, cat like eyes, in a purple roll up sleeve shirt with a pair of black boot cut jeans, adorning silver and black boots, and sporting a smile that spelled TROUBLE. The Cheshire Cat.
