He watched her fall, not making a move. He sat on that rock creature, not affected by it's movement. Watching her fall was interesting, in a way. He was almost cracking up as she did so. But, he didn't. Head resting on his hand, he called out "Having fun?" Of course, he wouldn't let her die, nor fall to her doom, though it was fun to watch. He rolled his eyes, as she had fallen faster then he thought. Putting a hand out, he managed to snatch her wrist, making sure not to hurt her. He pulled her up quickly and moved aside, letting her go once she was securely on the rock creature. Howling, it shook, trying to throw the two of them off before being calmed by him.

He looked at her and asked, "You OK? You fell faster then I'd have thought you would've. If you'd like, I can take you the rest of the way across." Looks like he had to high of expectations for the human girl, but what could he expect? He shrugged mentally and looked away from her towards the other side they were trying to get to. It would be a piece of cake for him, but for her? Especially if she injured herself on that fall, and he wouldn't be surprised had she. If they stayed any longer, he wasn't sure at what time that they'd make it to the Queen's castle, and at night, things were... dangerous. In a manner of speaking. He thought to himself.

He suddenly spoke up, an underlying feeling of anger deep down, "Don't act like Alice. I'll tell you right here and right now, no joke. This is not a dream. You were brought here because-" He stopped quickly and now had a look of confusion, "Hmm. I can't quite remember why you were chosen to come here. I can tell you though, if you die here, you're dead. OK?" He didn't care, nor did he care as to why she was brought here. The Queens would probably have a mammal if he accidentally allowed the girl to die though.

'I cannot trust ya', but I swea' that you can trust me!'

My eyes double and I squeeze my them shut, not expecting it to be so slippery. Feeling a hand wrap around my wrist, I open my eyes wide as I'm pulled back on. I stumble and quickly, take my hand back looking away from the Joker quickly as he began to speak. I pant slighly befor eI striaghten a little.
"Sorry, I jus', wasn't expectin' that." I explain breiefly, refusing to look at him as I rub the back of my head.
When the beast shakes again, I brace myself and hold my arms out for balance. My mouth sets in a firm line and I finally look up at him. My hazel gaze was untrustworthy still as I took a step away from him and swallowed my unease. I glare a little at him, seeing the belittling look in his eyes and I instinctively straighten up, furrowing my brows defaintly.
"I got it." I tell him firmly before I walk out ahead of him and look to the next plate.
I cast a confident glance over my shoulder, and back at him before I jump. As I fall to the next plate, thoughts rush through my mind; I refuse to let him think I'm weak. I'll show him that I can handle myself. Just like I used to.
"Well White?" I call back t him with a smirk as I slowly rise,"You comin'?" I ask before I turn back and I jump again, to the next plate of stone and I steady myself.

[pappuppy]

((What if they actually happened to run into a beast or something. Then Allison could show him that she wasnt afraid to defend herself properly?))

[scolipede.]

Sorry, it took me so long D:)

He stopped and looked at her, confused, "White? When have I been known as White?" He shrugged and replied quickly when she made it to the next, "Careful, they're angered easily! Don't hurt yourself!" He quickly jumped to the next one across from the one she had jumped on. A rumble was heard ahead and he quickly jumped to the next one, making it across in seconds flat before her. His eyes mildly glazed with terror he cursed and looked at her, "Hurry! Jump across or let me get you! We have to get out of here!" His voice was a hushed whispered, terror filled it. The creature was hard to beat, even for him who knew his way out of here.

The creature, being made of non-Belief and Underland's forgotten horrors, was nearby. He could feel the vibrations through his body, and it was a dreadful feeling. Not to mention the time they spent there jumping through the rocks had taken them more then expected. It was beginning to get to the afternoon, and where they were wasn't a good spot to be. As the afternoon here, was like midnight. Dark in the Forest like area here, was just like setting yourself to be killed. The ground shook a bit before calming again. He blinked and called out again, "Hurry! It's getting closer! We need to get out of here!" Of course, it was too late.

While he had his back turned, that same creature he was trying to get them to run from, had come close enough to spot. He was busy yelling at her to notice the creature coming up behind him, and by the time he whirled around the creature had swung it's clawed paw thing at him, successfully shooting him right into some kind of tree. Recoiling from the shock his back felt, he slouched a bit hoping that the human girl would be able to manage. Oh, how his back hurt. He was probably bleeding as well. "Ouch." He muttered, his voice raspy.

[pappuppy]

'I cannot trust ya', but I swea' that you can trust me!'

I turn to face him as he complains of her name for him. I blink once before an apologetic grin forms on my lips.
"Well, ya' never did tell me ya' name!" I explain briefly, watching as he lands on the same plate as me then passes with ease.
I chuckle and shake my head gently, rolling my eyes somewhat. It's then that I hear his voice lace itself with panic and telling me to hurry. I turn to face him once again, staring as he urges me to hurry up, but I can't move. Something shifted in the shadows behind him and my blood ran cold, eyes widening.
"White!-" I started, hoping to warn him in time, before some strange beast leapt out of the bog.
It was hideous, eyes like a human, yet its body was made of something else entirely. Some sort of, dark gooey substance oozed from it, hiding it well amongst the shadows. I realzed that it had huge claws, that of a nightmare-ish monster. I stumble when it hits Joker square in the back.
"White!" I scream again in terror, but only managing to draw attention upon myself.
Slowly I lift my gaze from the injured Underlandian and I meet the Creatures cold eyes. I stop breathing and stare at it before it lets out some monsterous howl before I see it's muscles tense. I tear my gaze away from it for only a few seconds, so that I can see around myself and the small plate that I stood on. I swallow one gulp of air before I understand that this thing.. This thing wld kill me if I didn't act upon it. It roared and it sounded like nails ripping down a chalkboard, making my ears ring and my heart pound fervently. I saw a thick stick laying a few feet ahead of me, if I could grab that, then I'd have some sort of weapon at least.
It's as though the creature could read my mind, and as I dashed forward to grab the branch, it charged and leapt off of its rock. I dive, arms outstretched towards the branch as the beast soars over me, so close that I can smell that putred sludge, like sulfur. My fingers wrap around the thick branch, and immediately I scramble to my feet, barely managing to rise before I see the creature charging at me again. I whack at it as hard as I can with the branch and hit it in the head squarely. I pant slightly in shock at how I actually hit it. I gasp before I remember the task at hand. I turn around and jump to the next plate, hearing the creature growl lowly in distaste for my actions. I whip around and see Joker still against the tree. I look around a few times before I hear it shriek, and makes me move. I jump out towards the Joker and I hurry to him, standing in front of him, my chest heaving as I grasp the branch so tightly that my knuckles turned white. I was shaking with adrenaline and fear, feeling I couldn'tleave his side, even though the ceature was lunging at me again.
"WHITE! TIME TO RUN!" I bark at him bossily, before I swing at the creature again, but I miss and it charges forward and head butts me in the gut.
I gasp as it throws me into the air and sharp pains jab trhrough me. As I smack into the ground, I groan, slowly collecting myself and trying to find my weapon again. I shake my head a little, head throbbing, vision blurred just slightly. I spot the branch and I dash towards it and I dive, rolling to grab it quickly. I jump to my feet and find that the creature is snorting at me, right in front of me. My face pales, but I don't lose my cool.
"Alrigh'... Come on puppy-dog." I say weakly and wave my branch in intimidation, trying to rile it up.
The creature of stone is behind me, and I notice that the Creature was mostly stupid and fast. I could deal with that.
It snorts angrily before it breaks into a rage filled charge at me. I wait, finding so hard to hold my ground when this thing was just barreling towards me, but i know I have to time it right. I wait and wait, until finally, seconds before it's about to hit me, I dive to the side, sending it into a wall of stone at full speed. Cracks fill the silent air that followed, and slowly I moan, pushing up slowly from my spot on the ground and looking around to see that the sick creature is laying on the ground, still oozing that fowl substance in gobs.
I stare at it before I snap out of it and remember the guy. I drop the branch and turn around to see him. I run over and stand in front of him, staring at his pain in worry.
"White..." I breathe out, accidentaly showing my obvious worry and concern.


((AGGHHHH ENOURMOUS POST))

[scolipede.]

Lol XD I'll never reach that length xD What a change of pace, no? First she slipped, now he has a concussion.)

He grinned looking up through his hair that shadowed his face, "Hey, nice job Ruckus Girl. Now, quit calling me White already." Coughing a bit, he stood up and asked, "You OK Ruckus Girl? We should get out of here, there are probably other things here. With all the commotion, they're probably coming right now to see." He was leaning against the tree, and heaved a breath he still had yet to catch after knocking into the tree. Voice hoarse he added with a bit of a joke, "I think, I might have gotten a concussion." Touching the back of his head, his thought was proven right when he pulled back a sticky red substance. He blinked, looking at it before registering the fact he had hit his head hard enough to do that. Sighing, he replied to himself more then her, "Sometimes I believe I'm the only idiot in Underland, to bleed the most. The Queen will have my head for getting injured again. NOt to mention endangering the human. Aren't I smart right now?" He sighed yet again and winced, bringing his bloodied hand to his back. His white cloak came back and covered his bloody head and aching back. He turned to her and smiled, "I ought to ask the Queen to give you a sword or something, a stick wouldn't have proven much, have the monster been smart enough to fight back." He kept the smile before turning around and the smile becoming a frown. Sauntering as if drunk, he began to walk towards the Queen's castle, at a quick pace, not wanting to meet another creature.

He didn't know what he had heard when she had made the creature go down, worry? Obviously that would be confusing. Who knows, he was too dizzy trying to clear his swimming thoughts and blurry vision. He couldn't believe that fact he had been saved by a human he detested so much. Zoning in and out of his thought, his vision still swam a bit, looking blurry around the edges and sometimes in the middle. Oh, how the queen would have a cow. Stopping after walking a while, he leaned against the tree, letting his vision clear for the second before walking again. He did this act several times, each time his vision getting better then worse. He had lost track of where he was after a while and stopped, replying quietly, "It's only a little farther. I'm sure the Queen will happily help you. I'm sorry to say that when we get there, I hopefully will pass out before I die of blood loss or something." He smiled before walking down the little path to the Queen's castle.

[pappuppy]

'I cannot trust ya', but I swea' that you can trust me!'

I bite my lower lip, brows furrowing when I see the blood that comes from his head. I watch him gently as he starts talking about how we need to start moving, and I feel concerned. I do listen though and I hurry after him.
"I only call you White because you never told me your name." I tell him softly, a little irritated because he was injured so badly and I feel responsible for it.
I hurry after him and I don't object to his orders to get moving, but I feel it will be dangerous for him. I see him rest every sooften, and I stya quiet, not feeling the urge to annoy him in his condition. As he talks of the Queen so fondly, I gaze at him fondly, and a soft smile graces my lips.
"She sound's very nice.. She must care very much to fret over you so much." I guess as we start to walk again, and I watch his body sway, and I find that I can't hold myself back any longer.
I dash forward so that I'm right beside him. I look at him before I chew my lower lip in slight thought. Finally I bailed the idea of thinking something out, and gently I reach over, so smooth and swift, and I take his arm and place it around my shoulders as I take some of his weight. My gaze sets on the trail ahead of us before I smirk a little.
"Don' say a word, this don' mean a thing. I owe ya' for helping me out." I tell him firmly before he can protest, my hazel gaze serious and warm.
I couldn't bare to see him in that much pain. I felt the need to help.

[scolipede.]

He blinked as she helped him and looked away replying, "Oh yeah, huh? I didn't introduce myself now did I?" He shrugged sluggishly and continued, "It'll wait for some other time. If you don't mind. The Queen is very kind. She cares for everyone, wouldn't hurt a fly." Dazed for a moment or two, he stopped and said confused, "Where am I going? Hmm, talk about spacing out." He blinked and looked around before saying a quick, "Ah, that's right. I've been gone too long. Hmm, should have paid more attention then sleeping in the clearing. I ought to go back some time. It was such a nice clearing, no Elephant Ears to disturb you, nor any flowers. Just nice, still, quiet, non talking trees and grass. What a nice area." He grinned and said unnaturally and abruptly, "Did you know, a Hippokintomapolaglopus has thirty seven tail and fifty two legs? They are large, larger then a Figanthroypiantlije. Those things are realllllly big!" He stopped and moved to lean against a tree. "Like... thiiiisss big!" He made some kind of gesture to try and show how big, obviously failing.

Just think of a drunk man, and you'd figure it would be like that. He had a tired grin on his face and his eyes were dimly lit. He moved away from the tree and began to walk on his own, to the steps of the castle they had made it to. He blinked, scrunching his eyebrows together and murmuring, "Better not bleed all over the floor, red doesn't come off of white well." He turned around and told her, "You should come in. The White Queen will be with you." He painfully smiled and walked up the steps, avoiding letting anything with blood on it touch the white marble, including any of the blood dripping. She would find her way around.

[pappuppy]

'I cannot trust ya', but I swea' that you can trust me!'

I listenclosely as he asks if its alright to talk about such introductions at a latter time, and I agree fully. As we continue to walk, I can tell he's getting worse. AS he starts to talk about creatures that I have never even heard of before, I know that he's lost far too much blood. I hope that we will reach the castle soon, and, as though my prayers were answered, I see the white stairs ahead of me, and I sigh in relief.
I feel him tug away from me after he describes one of the stranges things, and soon he;s off and sauntering about, heading in the general direction of the stairway. I follow, at his heels, ready to catch him in case he collapses. I look at him as he makes his way uo the stairs, and before anything else I stare at him.
"Are ya' joking? Ya' bloody head is still bleedin' ya' know!" I scold softly before I sigh bitterly and remove my hat and look back at him.
I reach over and my hazel gaze is soft as I take his hand and lead him to a chair and make him sit in it before I move his hood to see his head. His stark white hair is crimson where the wound is, and I flinch at the sight. Feeling guilt rise in me, I gently take the fabric of my hat and apply an even pressure to his wound.
"I'm sorry if this hurts, but ya' jus' gotta keep still. If ya' keep this up,ya' will be dead, and I don't know how I'll properly thank ya' if that becomes the case." I say sharply, focusing on helping him.
I think of what he did for me, back in the forest, and a soft smile curves the corners of my lips upwards. I sigh a little and hold the fabric on his wound firmly, yet gently at the same time, 'Ya' brought me here, and tried to warn me a' that strange beast. Thank ya' White.' I think finally, feeling a little bit of myself open up to him, but I still couldn't bring myself to fully trust him.

[scolipede.]

He winced when she pulled the thing to wrap the wound. "I'm fine." He hissed and jumped up from the chair. He whirled around to face her, "You don't need to do that, it's fine." He smiled, "Don't thank me. I deserve no such thing. Thank you for making sure I didn't go and kill myself or something." He frowned and stiffened slightly, "I'll take you to the Queen. I have no high authority here." Ignoring the nickname of White he swayed away and into a different room, towards the Queen's throne.

He would have to stop and properly thank her later, but now wasn't the time. He should have gotten to her to the Queen earlier, but no, he wanted to see what humans were capable of. Instead he went and almost got knocked out, letting a human save him. He couldn't believe it. His face contorted in a thoughtful frown deepened with his thoughts. He stopped at the Queen's chamber doors and paused, hand ready to open the door. "This is where I will leave you, Ruckus Girl. The Queen is in her chamber, don't be rude." His mask of indifference back on, he swiftly turned to get his head injury checked or something, as long as no one spoke of it, it was fine.

We should pause. I need to make the White Queen since no one else will and then let the others catch up ^^;)
