She blinked lightly. "What did he start writing?"
A guard walked to the solitary room and pulled him out of it. "Your time there is done." -
Ches closed his eyes and leaned into her hand. "Seems to be quotes or words from different things.. Like he's writing a story or something."
Hatter went along obediently and didn't bother to fight the guard. He was sore and lonley. Looking around he hoped to see Cricket but not Crooked. -
She nodded lightly and sighed a bit. "Well...maybe he is."
Cricket stood near the exit of the solitary ward and stopped the guard. "I'll take the boy back from here." The guard nodded at walked off. -
Ches shrugged and kneeded the bed with his claws. "I think he may be truly going mad Alice." He looked up at her with fear in his wide eyes.
Hatter blinked and nodded at Cricket. "Hello Professor." He sighed lightly and found his voice to be scratchy and unused. -
"No!" She panicked a bit and calmed down. "I-I mean no...h-he can't be g-going mad." She mumbled a bit.
Cricket smiled at him and opened the door. "Come boy I think you deserve some fresh air hm?" -
Ches sighed and laid down on her lap. "Alice, I've known Hatter for a long long time.. He's been pretty messed up. This place just takes him back to the dark days." He covered his nose and sneezed.
Hatter smiled and followed him out. He fell quiet as he waited for the Doctor to explain. Once the fresh air hit him he breathed in deeply and turned his face towards the sun. -
"I know you've know him for a long time but...I-I don't want him to go mad Ches.." she mumbled lowly.
Cricket watched hatter and chuckled lightly. "Seems like you needed this lad." -
Ches nodded and sighed. No one wanted him to go mad, but it was a strong possibility in this world.
Hatter nodded slowly. "I miss being able to walk in the woods.. Meadows.. Being free. Don't you?" He looked at him from the corner of his eye. -
Alice hugged the cat closer to her and started crying. She didn't want Hatter to go mad, it would be like when she first met him, but if she was able to talk to him more then he wouldn't.
Cricket sighed lightly. "Yes...I do miss my workshop and many other things...even my wife if you can believe that." He chuckled a bit. "But...I'm held here against my will as much as you are. They sent the Big Bad Wolf after me...I was their second capture." -
Chesire nuzzled into her neck and held his paws against her chest as he purred into her for comfort. Her tears made his pelt feel sticky but he didn't mind at all.
Hatter nodded slowly. "Do you know who's running this then?" He asked quietly and looked away as if fasinated by the trees. He had to make it look like they weren't talking, -
She cried more just thinking about him being mad...Red walked up to both of them and hugged them both. She heard the conversation and really thought the Hatter guy was nice.
Cricket sighed lightly. "People are muttering that is the Queen of all Fairy tales, they say she was worried about something happened. I think she's gone mad...sorry poor choice of words..." he coughed lightly and adjusted his glasses. "But humpty dumpty is in charge of the asylum along with Dr. Crooked. The big bad wolf is in a cell here, but he was a capture kind of thing." -
Chesire ended up falling asleep in their arms as his own tears mixed in with theirs. He felt safe here, with them instead of his own room.
Hatter cursed under his breath. "I've heard about her.. She was nice. Supposedly." He sighed and rubbed his face. "Doc.. I need your help. Get Alice and Red out of here. I can deal with staying on my own." He hated the thought of leaving Alice but if it meant she got out of here then it was all he needed. -
Red noticed that the cat had fallen asleep as well as Alice did. She smiled a bit and helped them lay down.
Cricket nodded lightly. "I will try my best, but there is no guarantee that they will be safe..." -
Hatter ran a hand through his hair and rubbed his neck. "Or we could shut this place down.. Humpty can be cracked." He mused and picke a flower off the ground. It was a simple white daisy.
-
He shook his head. "It is...not as simple as you think lad, it will take many years before humpty dumpty is weak enough to take control. The queen gave him full control."
