Cheshire

Rose the color of blood

Cheshire POV

I wake up in a puddle of my own blood. I guess there is a timer of when the shock goes off. ¨Ship!¨ Okay, I can't panic to much the Mad Hatter will keep Alistar safe, unless he is an idiot and tries to save me. He wouldn't do that, would he? No we just met. That doesn't matter I need to pull these dang things out. I tried to move my hand up, but I see there are shackles around my wrists. I turned my head and look in horror. The tong I pulled out, there was two taking it's place. They found out.

Alistar POV

Mattie and Donnie came running up to me, ¨We heard a scream is everything okay?¨ Donnie says out of breath, Mattie doesn't say anything she just stares at Cheshire, ¨Cheshire?¨ She says in a quiet voice. ¨Call 911.¨ I told Donnie, I knew Mattie wouldn't be able to do it. ¨She is still breathing but it's getting weaker.¨ I hear Donnie on the phone with the police. ¨I have to go in.¨ I can feel their stares,¨What do you mean?¨ Donnie says. ¨He means go into Wonderland.¨ Donnie looks at Mattie with fear, it's the first time she looks so distant. ¨Are sure you will be able to make it out alive?¨ I hold Cheshire close, ¨I don't care if I don't make it, I need her to be alive. She has been with me through everything and she protects me. Now I need to do the same for her. Do you hear me Cheshire, you can make it through this. I'm coming.¨ I kiss her forehead and give her to Mattie. ¨Are you sure? You know she is only going through this to protect you, so if you die, she will feel like she failed. Do you know what that means? She would have been through that torture and pain for nothing.¨ I know what she means, but I will do anything to protect her. I have too.
