She stood outside, in the forest, enjoying the breeze encasing her. For some reason, everything disappeared when she was around Namjoon. All the voices, all her thoughts. She felt like her normal self.

She sighed softly, humming gently as she sat down in the grass. Running her fingers through it gently and watching the butterflies flutter about.

Serene. Calm. Quiet.

For the first time since she had come here, she this was the calmest she had been, this was the one time she hadn't been told she had to do this or that. She finally felt like her own person.

She looked up at the blue sky and sighed softly.

"Where is she?" There was a yell in the distance, and Min-Young couldn't help but get up and go look. Her sword remained at her side like always, after all it was the one reason she was still alive.

"I don't know- I saw her living with Hatter and the rest of them-" There knelt a woman, tears streaming down her face as two men dressed in red and black held swords to her throat.

"And are you lying?"

"No! I swear!"

"Burn Hatters house down, she should come scurrying straight out-" Min-Young saw a woman, red hair tied up on the top of her head, her eyes narrow and fierce. Just like her own when she first arrived here. But on top of her red hair rested a crown.

"May I just but in." Min-Young stepped into the view of the two women and the two men. "But why burn down Hatters house? Maybe I can help you with who you're looking for?"

"We're looking for the daughter of Hatter and Alice, Alice got me banished from my own country and killed my baby-"

"Ma'am with all regards, it was simply just another dragon-"

"She still killed it!" She stomped her foot, face turning a bright shade of red with anger.

The red queen.

The thought rang through Min-Young's head.

"The daughter of Hatter? Why do you want her? Surely you would want Alice?" Min-Young was determined to keep her new family safe, and to find out why the queen wanted her.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." The red queen reached out and plucked a rose from the bush next to her. "She killed my baby, I'll kill theirs."

"Maybe you should allow me?" I smiled kindly. "I'm a perfectly capable swordsman, and it saves you getting your pretty hands dirty."

"Prove yourself, you have a handful of seconds to save this woman... otherwise, it's off with her head." She span the rose in her fingers, neatly avoiding the thorns.
