Alice in Wonderland fanfic (Coming Home) By: Alex Garland
Alice's POV:
"How could this happen there was so much I needed to do and this happens."
I looked at my hands covered in my own blood were Lowell stabbed me as well as tricked me.
~20 Minutes earlier~
After I was finished talking to Lord Ascot about trading with China and expanding my father's trades and ideas I retired to my room. As I looked toward the desk in my room I found a letter addressed to me from my sister. The letter in short stated to meet her at the edge of the Ascot estate by the dead tree to discuss something in private and didn't want anyone to overhear. I left my room and proceeded to the dead tree I knew very well there entry way to Underland or what I called it Wonderland. I reached the tree but I did not see my sister.
"Margret!? Where are you? Margret…"
"She's not coming Alice and you will never leave this spot…"
As I heard Lowell's voice I spun around and then I felt excruciatingly amount of pain and I looked down to see a knife plunged into my body and blood seeping from the wound.
"I can't risk you telling Margret that I have been cheating on her. So I'm getting rid of you so you can't tell. Good bye Alice."
He pushed me down the rabbit hole and as I fell everything started to get dark. Thoughts ran through my head but the one thought that came across was I desperately wanted to see Hatter again. Before I knew it I spoke aloud my true feelings.
"…Hatter I love you and I'm sorry…"
Hatter's POV:
Something was not right I thought I heard my sweet Alice's voice calling out to me I also felt a sudden pain in my heart.
"Chess!"
"Yes Tyrant?"
"Do me a favor and go to the in between room and see if there is anyone there. I have a bad feeling and I'll meet you there."
"As you wish but it's probably nothing."
As Chess disappeared I Ran to the in between room and I was half way there Chess appeared before me panicked and flustered.
"It's Alice she's come back but she is severely wounded you need to hurry!"
As soon as I heard that I sprinted all the way to the in between room. Fumbling with the key I unlocked the door and saw the state that my sweet Alice was in I quickly checked if she was alive. I sighed in relief to find that she was but just barely. I took out a bottle of shrinking potion from my pocket but before I could do anything I knew I would have to take the knife out of her for if she were to shrink the knife would stay the same killing her. But if I were to take the knife out she could die from blood loss.
"Chess I need some bandages…"
"Don't tell me you're going to try to pull the knife out?!"
"NO I refuse to put Alice through any more Pain…"
"Then what are you planning?"
"I'm going to try to slow down Alice's bleeding and I want you to get the white queen and tell her what we know and make sure they bring a wagon for Alice."
"Will do I'll be back as soon as I can."
As Chess left I applied the bandages around Alice's wound putting pressure on it. A small hiss of pain reached my ears I took my free hand and wiped strands of golden hair out of my dear Alice's face.
"It's going to be all right in deed all right…"
"…Hatter…"
"…Sorry…I'm here Alice."
"For a… moment I thought…I was hallucinating"
"No sweet Alice you're not hallucinating."
"Hatter… I'm so cold…"
"Then I'll just have to put my coat over you to keep you warm. Help should be here soon."
"….."
"Alice?"
"…I'm sorry… I'm having trouble staying… awake…"
Just then Chess appeared and to my relief the white queen, the bandersnach, a few guards and a cart. The queen with her power made the door to the in between room larger and two guards walked in with a stretcher. They slowly moved Alice's Frail body onto the stretcher and carried her to the cart that was fastened to the bandersnach. I got on the bandersnach as Chess stayed with Alice as we all headed to the castle of Marmoreal all silent as out pace quickened.
