The Hunter
Deep in Wonderland a black emptiness sat, wrecked ships hurtled down through it, islands floated surrounded by auras of misery and then there was a girl, the darkness was seeping away as she stepped off it, followed by a Cat, a Rabbit, a Gryphon and a Turtle- A Mock Turtle, others were close behind them but the girl had something special to do, a clock was ticking away and this clock told time more accurately than any other.
Prophecy Clock- Part 1
The Cheshire Cat sat trimming his paws, he was sat in the Fungiferous
Forest, waiting patiently for Caterpillar to tell him something.
He had been waiting hours.
"Well?" Cheshire snapped. Caterpillar remained calm.
"Many images haunt me in the smoke, it is difficult to make out which
is which" Caterpillar sighed. Cheshire hissed and trudged around the mushroom.
"Well hurry up, I have a schedule to meet you know" Cheshire growled.
Caterpillar chuckled.
"You sound like Rabbit" He grinned. Cheshire glared.
"Yes I know that, but it is with that time obsessed, long eared bunny
that I have to meet!" Cheshire snarled and scratched at the mushroom.
"He will be late! He is always late! You will be doing him a favour
by being later"Caterpillar laughed. Cheshire was growing more and more
enraged at the Oracle's jovial mood.
"AAAAAAAARGH!" He roared. Caterpillar's eyes snapped open.
"I have something" He whispered. Cheshire stopped screaming, Caterpillar
continued. "A clock, a clock which foretells the future, lost" Cheshire
paced around again.
"Well...thanks a bunch" He sighed and nibbled a side of the mushroom,
he grew and grew and grew up into the portal in the sky.
Alice waited for Rabbit, finally he came rushing up.
"Oh dear you are already here" Rabbit gabbled. Alice stopped him.
"Don't worry, where's Cheshire?" Alice asked. Cheshire appeared.
"Sorry for being late, Caterpillar was being difficult" Cheshire grinned.
Alice shook her head.
"What did he say?" Alice sighed. Cheshire shrugged.
"Something about a ruined clock" Cheshire replied "But where he couldn't
see" Rabbit was a bit worried about being in the forest (Being crushed
can do that to you). Alice sat down on an rock and pondered.
"What about the ruined Hatter's laboritory?" Rabbit suggested. Alice
sat up.
"Your right, if it's anywhere it will be there!" Alice cried.
"Well then lets go!" Cheshire grinned. Alice shook her head.
"Its more difficult than that, lets find Hatter he might help us" Alice
smiled.
"My dear chap, poker is a gentleman's game, I think I would know the
rules!"
"Well so do I!" Alice, Cheshire and Rabbit arrived at Hatter and the
MarchHare at eachother's throats over a game of poker. She looked over.
"Those aren't even real cards, they are broken tea cups that you have
drawn little squiggles on" Alice chuckled. Hatter shook his head, his skin
had been losing the green hue, but it was still a bit green and he still
had a rather hooked nose.
"Its elementary my dear Alice, the squiggles are aces, the black zig
zags are-" Alice cut off the Hatter in mid explanation.
"I don't care" Alice snapped, the Hatter shrugged and returned to his
game.
"We need your help Hatter" Rabbit smiled. Hatter shifted uncomfortably,
Rabbit didn't know it was the Hatter who had crushed him.
"Why anything Rabbit!" Hatter fakely laughed. Rabbit grinned.
"Well, we need to go to your laborotory with us, y-" Rabbit started
but was cut off.
"No" The Hatter snapped.
"B-"
"No"
"J-"
"NO"
"W-"
"NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO!" Hatter yelled, flicking his chair
to the side and leaning over Rabbit. "I am never, ever returning to that
laboratory! Open and shut case!" The Hatter stormed off. The MarchHare
looked slightly embarrassed at his friend's behavior.
"Um, perhaps you should come back later" The MarchHare muttered. Alice
sighed and they turned away and strolled off.
Hatter sat in his armchair, with his face buried in a book named "The
Appropiate Care of Jabberspawn", this detail has absolutely no relevance
to the rest of the story. But you might want to know what book it was and
so I put it down. Dormouse sighed.
"You can't run for ever Hatter" Dormouse told his friend.
"Run? I am not running, I am walking quickly" The Hatter grunted. The
Dormouse shook his head.
"You can help them, face your fears Hatter" Dormouse whispered. The
Hatter snorted in reply, the Dormouse wandered off to get some tea. The
Hatter looked up from his book and stood up leaning on his walking stick,
he twisted the handle and disapeared in a shower of pink sparks.
