This is my first Alice in wonderland story so please be kind.

-Alice-

"You could stay"

Hatter's soft voice said from behind me. I turned around and looked into his eyes, they where still her favourite shade of green but it was flecked with a deep blue colour that I had never seen before, I sighed.

"I must go; there are things I have to do…things I must answer"

I stoped there, to choked up to speak any more. Hatter's eyes became bluer the longer I looked into them.

"But if you go…you will forget…forget about me" He said sadly.

It broke my heart to see him like this, I stepped forward and wrapped my arm's as best as I could around him. Since I was encased in armour it was proving slightly difficult.

I buried my head in to the crook of his neck and listened to the sound of his heart beat, I stood there for a second before I let go.

"I promise" I said to him looking him dead in the face, my voice strong and confidante.

"I promise you that I will never EVER forget you Hatter" He smiled slightly.

"And I all so promise you this… I will come back and when I do it will be permanent" The more I thought about it the more it strengthened the desire to return. I knew that overland was not my home, it never was ever since I was six years old.

Who would want to live in a place where there are rules for everything, never letting you do what you want, to living in a world where you can do what ever you want and have the most amazing friends that don't think you are half-mad and they where just a rabbit hole away.

'And now here is the part that you hate" I thought to my self sadly.

I gave everything a sweeping look, the last thing I saw was Hatter before I downed the Jabberwocky blood in one mouth full. It tasted foul but I swallowed it quickly. In the same instant every thing became blurry. I looked at Hatter again I smiled briefly before everything went black

-Hatter-

The second the Jabberwocky blood touched her lips my heart gave a great big wrench. She went blurry a split second after she swallowed, and I saw her smile a little before she disappeared completely.

My heart started to hurt; shaking slightly I lightly put my bandaged hand over where my heart was.

There was no doubt in my mind that Alice would not return to us, she had promised and you don't break an Alice promise, not even Alice!

The White Queen, just being recently crowned she stared to give orders for the clean up. When she had finished I had not ever moved a muscle, came up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"She will be back" she said, her voice light and airy, but it had a sadness in it that meant that she two would miss here deeply. I closed my eyes for a second, knowing that she could practically see the sadness that radiated from me. I thought of Alice and what she would say if she saw me like this.

'Probably asking where HER Hatter was' My mind said to me, but the memories of Alice where to painful even to think about.

And as I thought of Alice, my heart got heavier and started to hurt a lot more…like it was breaking…but that was impossible…

Then I understood. My heart was not breaking, I was to far gone for that was my diagnosis, my heart was not breaking…I was Heartbroken.

"O. God. Alice" Were my last words before I crumbled in to a heap and started to sob furiously.

The White Queen sat down next to me; she looked like she had stretched to her limit before she two broke down into sobs.

-Mally-

As I saw The White Queen sit next to hatter, I felt chess appear next to me

"Hello Chess" I said, I gazed at hatter.

"Hello Mally" We didn't speak after that.

'You better get back here soon Alice' I thought sadly 'Or Underland will never be the same again'
