In Her Footsteps. (Alice in Wonderland) Accepting!!

[DarkRainbowInk]

Cheshire Cat's ears were ringing, as he sat on his knees still holding his ears. Jabber was still in the room. He threw the door open, and pulled her out. He quickly put the lock on the door. "I think i'm going to stop opening locked doors..." he said loudly. He still couldn't hear.

Lyric understood people wanting to leave, but she kind of didn't. She didn't have anything to go back to really. Her mom cared more about her reputation, and her dad was always passed on the couch, surrounded by empty cans of Bud Light. Lyric smiled, kind of excited.

Jabber had an extremely rare frightened look on her face. "what...was that?" She asked, disturbed

Furattā sat down on the floor, frozen in shock. What was that thing?! And why was it in the castle?! She winced when Cheshire pretty much yelled. She nodded and slowly stood up again in silence. She looked at Jabber and shrugged.

Henry started thinking. Did he really want to go home? He had no family there anymore, and, unfortunately, he knew he had no real friends. Even if somebody did notice he went missing, he honestly didn't exactly care. Henry sighed, making himself feel a bit depressed with those thoughts.

Cheshire shook his head. His ears stopped ringing, but they still hurt. "Huh?" he asked, rubbing his ear. "What... was that?" Jabber asked with a scared face. Suddenly the queen came back with a group of cards. "I swear I will have their heads..." she mumbled. She looked up the stairs and saw Cheshire, Furatta, and Jabber. "What are you doing?" she questioned, removing her hood. "Uh... bonding?" Cheshire answered. He couldn't think of a better excuse. He seemed to be coming up with a lot lately.

"Most of them are empty. The huts that are decorated are the ones that are taken, so you guys can stay in the plain ones." Spice explained. She skipped off into a hut that was blue with orange splats on it. It had indigo straw on top. There were red mushrooms sprouting around only her house for some reason. Four other huts looked strange as well, but six others were a normal grayish brown. Lyric scanned over the huts, each the same as the last. She looked over and saw Henry with a sad look. She wondered if he missed his home. "C'mon, we have to make the best of things, right?" she asked, smiling.

Furattā held Cheshire's hand again then looked at the queen. "What is in that room?" she asked, getting straight to the point. She pointed to the door as she spoke. Furattā had made sure that she didn't give away that they had been in the room. She was just asking an innocent question.

Henry looked around and gave a half-hearted smile at the colorful huts. He then looked ay Lyric and nodded with another sigh. "I know..." he told her then headed to a random plain hut.

"It's a little monster. It's species grows two heads when you try to kill it. They can be killed with fire, but that one has an intense screaming ability. We chased it into that room and locked it up. You don't have to worry about it though, it's rather weak, so it can't break out." she responded. She walked up the stairs and then past them.

Lyric quickly scurried into one of the huts, eager to change out of the dress. The hut was a little dusty, but other than that, it looked comfortable. She quickly changed and dusted off a few things. She dusted out her bed before falling back onto it. "No more worries..." she sighed.

[deletethisaccount145]

Furattā listened and slowly nodded. "Oh, alright," she said nodding then watched her pass them. Furattā looked back at Cheshire and Jabber before starting to lead Cheshire away from the door. She never wanted to be anywhere near that door ever again.

Henry saw a bed and laid down. He had not gotten much sleep back at the castle. Henry curled up under the blankets and started to drift off there.

Jabber gulped and looked at the door and then at her hand. "I-I have fire...." She said, a slight bit of flame rising from her fingers. The jabberwocky looked at the queen. "I could kill it....."

[DarkRainbowInk]

Roslyn stopped, her eyes glistening. "Really that would be amazing!" she grinned. Cheshire Cat eyes widened. "Is that safe?" he asked. "Well, it depends if she could shoot the thing with fire or not. It's weak, but it's quick. That's why we could never get it." she explained. "You don't have to." Cheshire told her.

Lyric quickly fell asleep. She was so tired. But her dream was rather strange. It seemed she was back home. She was playing Amnesia when her dad broke down the door in her room. "Oh, dad, you're up..." Lyric groaned. "Where did you hide my drinks?" he asked. "They're in the fridge like always." Lyric answered, she didn't stop playing her video game, even when he came in. Suddenly she was pulled out of her chair. Her dad gripped her shirt and looked enraged. Mom must have not gone to the store yet. Lyric kicked him in the stomach and ran. She dove out the front door and to the side of the house. She moved a rock and crawled under the house. She moved the rock back from under the house, then kept crawling til she came to her normal spot when her dad was angry.

Jabber nodded. "Then, I guess I'm killing it..." She gulped and ripped two pieces of cloth off of her shirt. She stuffed them into her ears and looked at her hands again. She could only emit small bursts of fire from her hands at will, but she remembers almost burning a forest down when her father had died. It seemed to be controlled by emotions, so hopefully the fright of this...creature...would allow her to kill it.
