Heartlessness (finished)

Chapter 5

Alice.

What a pretty little girl's name. Very fitting actually, from her description at least. A frilly blue dress, and curly blonde hair. I can imagine her now. Big blue eyes that reflect all of the curiosity inside, a small, pale, round face. And of course a small stature to fit the oh so childish aesthetic.

I might just go visit the bridge just now. The portal that led to Hatta's pathetic little shop.

...

Getting to Hatta's shop is making me relive old memories.

The day I came with Jest and showed everyone my "talent" was very prominent in my head.

Then came the memory of my macaroon hat, that Hatta had made me.

Finally came the memory of the Jaberwock, and the image of it carrying away the beautiful and couragous lion.

I felt the tears at the back of my eyes, wanting to come forth and shed. But I pushed them back.

My red day dress flowed behind me as I walked to the door. I not wanting to be rude (out of old tendencies) knocked.

Then came the pale face of Hatta.

"Why, my good Queen, whatever are you doing here?"

I pondered for a second. What am I doing here?

"I am uh... Just coming to make a short visit." I managed to say. To see how your... Um hats are coming along."

"What an odd reason to come."

"Yes, I am aware."

"My Queen, if you are so aware, than why are you here?"

"Curiosity strikes the minds of everyone every once in a while."

"But you did know that 'curiosity killed the cat'"

"Though that may be true, that is not the full saying. The rest is 'satisfaction brought it back'"

"Very clever I see."

"You've just noticed?"

"Arrogent as well but clever all the same."

"So may I come in?" I ask

"But of course."

Sorry for the short chapter its just in the next chapter shits about to go DOWN  so be prepared for that, and sorry for the long wait, school's just irritating in all aspects. Thanks for reading!
