The mad hatness

My head was pounding as I ran through the forest. the twigs scraped my skin and tore through my skirt and leggings. actually let me explain from the beginning. The very beginning. ok it was about a week ago I woke from a night filled with dreams of death and portals to new found lands. I smelled waffles. I crawled out of bed and put on a small black dress and some black and white socks that went up to my thighs. I ran down the curved stairs to the kitchen where my father stood making blueberry waffles the size of my face."Good morrow my dear Grace." My father said overjoyed as he slipped another waffle on to a plate. "morning dad." I said with a small laugh. He was always so old timey or whatever. I grabbed a plate and a waffle then sat at the table. When I sat down I realized that my father was not wearing his hat. That struck me as strange my father always wore his hat no matter what. He wouldn't take it off even if I asked him to. "Dad why aren't you wearing your hat?" I asked him quickly. "Oh you noticed that." he said his smile fading. "Um Ya you always wear your hat always." my dad stopped and looked at me. "um... the... uuu...queen has it." I looked at my dad and dropped everything. "THE QUEEN, YOU LET THE QUEEN HAVE YOUR HAT!"I yelled at him. The queen has a bad reputation with my father's hat the last time she had it she left him to die in Wonderland. my dad looked at me and apologized for the act of stupidity. "Why did you give it to the queen anyways?" "she offered us everything." I looked at him and looked at my plate then slid the chair out and went to my room. I was so frustrated with my father he swore to me when I was little that he would never give his hat to the queen EVER.

I walked back and forth in my room. My dad walked in and said. "Umm listen I... Umm we need money and that is what she has offered to us." I looked at him and said "Dad you told me when I was little we don't need anything but each other and I believe that. we don't need money. I'm so disappointed in you dad." then I ran out. my dad ran after me and called my name."Grace,Grace Gracie come back here!" I went to the kitchen and my dad followed me. I got some water and a few snacks and put them into a small backpack. "What are doing?" my dad asked. "I am packing." I answered then turned to him and walked back to my room. "Packing for what?" he asked (again, gosh always with the questions). I put some clothes and a pair of sneakers."To go to Wonderland and get your hat back." I Finished packing then grabbed my favorite hat that just so happens to be the one that can travel through realms or worlds whichever you prefer. "Grace my hat doesn't need saving." "Oh Ya?, tell that to the seven to thirteen year old me!" my dad looked to the ground and frowned. "listen I'm sorry but you never know what will happen to your hat and I for one for want to take any chances."
