White Queen o:

He's as crazy as she is. His body shakes and he scratches the walls until his fingers bleed. His broken heart made him crazy, he now only serves her, he knows what and who she really is, but his love pushes him on. People question his attempts at suicide but they all know he's just insane, for one he goes on about,"Wonderland being destroyed." But the Asylum still stands tall and ominous.

A girl, asleep, on a gurney was pushed into 'the' room, her onyx hair splayed across the metal.
"Hey.."
"Yeah?"
"I have the sedated patient. May I say, she knows more than we think."
"Ah shut it..Lay her on the table, let the tests begin." A voice grumbled as the sound of a buzz-saw erupted.

"Jeannot lapin!" Her accent came out soft as it set an edge on her voice. The boy, who held her hand in a firm grip hissed at her command and stopped.
"Yes..?"
"Let go of me! I want to go back and see the Hatter.."
"Alice, you don't understand you thick head b-girl!" His nails dug into her wrist,"Please... Let's go..!" He hissed and she followed after the masked boy. The silence that lingered was thick and harsh. Emerald jewels examined the grove they were traveling down.
A smile. It was a smile. A smile that caused her to nearly trip and fall; the only thing that stopped her was the sure grip of the Rabbit. "Are you alright, dear?"
"Rabbit, someone was smiling at me..."
"Someone..?"
"Yes.. Over there.." She pointed and at the distracted state of her escort, she escaped and trailed to where she saw the dazzling whites. "Right.. here.." She examined the tree, its purple leaves dancing idly. Alice circled the trunk, even went to the extent of climbing the first branch and sitting on it.
"Alice..It was nothing." He growled making his way over to the tree.
"Mister Rabbit, I know what I saw, I am not one of the crazy nat-"
"Nature? My lady, you're as mad as the Queen of Blood herself."
The sudden outburst made her lose balance and teeter, almost falling off the limb.
A scowl crossed the girl's face and she searched the leaves above her,"Who said that?"
"Me..." A twisted smile came into her vision along with a dark haired boy, his grey eyes bright, while two-cat-like ears sat atop his head. One twitched as he ran a paw through his shaggy hair. A glare caught the eye of the dark-haired girl, she blinked a few times then caught sight of a piercing on his left ear. It was a hoop and an "E" hung from it, she opened her mouth to say something, but his paw came into view again.
"Sir, you have a paw.." Alice whimpered, dumbfounded.
Black slits widened into saucers as he snickered,"Just gloves, Alice, dangerous gloves." The boy flexed his wrist and five sharp claws extended from the glove. The points swept past her face, skimming and cutting a lock of her hair.
"Cheshire, I'm taking her to see the Queen, we're very late and you're only slowing us down!"
"Rabbit, always late are you not? How come you have to be in a rush all the time. Time is non-existent don't you know? Something only made up to keep everything from happening at once.. Silly clocks drive me mad.." The cat was now behind the boy, his teeth grazing the neck of the Rabbit, which resulted in shivers from the masked boy. "So, my little servant, may I join you on your expedition to my favorite Queen's palace?"
"Of course, Cheshire!" Alice beamed as she hopped from the tree and took his hand, leading him down the path.

"Cat..?"
"Yes, My Queen?" A girl replied, her jet black hair hung to to her thighs, the dress she wore was purple and pink and it caressed her frame nicely, as large pink and black butterfly wings framed her. On her right wing in the pink of the pattern, was a black "O" and within that "O" was a sideways "I". The girl fluttered her wings as a shiver ran down her spine.
"Is she here?"
"Yes, my lady, and she's on her way. I believe she has Cheshire with her.."
"Go-"
The woman's word's were interrupted by an abrupt sound of a trumpet. Grey lay on the door in front of her. "They're here.." She whispered just as the grand-door opened and two people filed in after a white-knight guard. The guard announced the names of the visitors and exited. There stood a white tuxed boy, a white, rabbit-like, mask concealing most of his profile. Next to him was a girl with vibrant eyes shining at the woman sitting upon her throne, who was adorning a white collared dress along with a black bodice, gloves, and velvet flowing beneath the snowy ruffles below her waist. Her blonde hair swayed upon her shoulders as she shifted in her throne. Green lay on the necklace she had on, it was much like hers, but the Queen's was on a platinum chain and beared the letter "A". It was a gorgeous necklace and Alice felt the feeling of jealousy spike in her.
"Brother.." The Queen spoke, a faint smile crossing her face.
"Sister.." The smile was returned shortly,"This is the one you told me to find, correct?"
"Alice? Yes...It's good to see you again."
"My Queen..." The girl that was sitting next to the lovely woman in black and white spoke.
"Yes, Caterpillar?"
"The girl doesn't remember, not me, not you, not him, not anyone, she does not recall anything. I told you she was as useless as last time." Her tone came out harshly as she glared at the girl.
"Now, now...It's okay, she'll be easier to work with...Alice, I am the White Queen, ruler of this Kingdom and guardian of Wonderland."
The green-eyed girl gave a bow and smiled,"Nice to meet you.."
"You know why you're here, right?"
"Well, ma'am, the Hatter only told me briefly that I was to kill whoever the Red Queen is.."
"Then I'll take it that you do know.. The Red Queen is evil, made of nothing but hate and malice. She needs to be brought down permanently, and you my dear, are the only one that can do that. Understand?"
"I-I Think s-"
The winged-girl hissed along with a scoff,"She's stupid.. can't you tell? Alice, believes she's dreaming, well let me tell you, girl. This is no dream, this is real and unless you take it seriously, you will fall and die like the rest of the people that tried to take on the Queen of Blood."
Alice whined and the Rabbit frowned standing in front of the girl. "My Queen, we need direct orders from you, we can't go in there blindly."
"Very well..Cheshire, where are you..?"
A tail curled around the Queens neck lightly and in moments the dark-haired boy was in the lap of the ruler,"Right here, my love.."
"Give her the blade..Alice this weapon is called a Vorpal Blade, it's power is unlike no others. It can cut through anything and the metal it's constructed of is the only thing that can truly hurt the Red Queen.. Brother, I'm assigning you to the protector of Alice. Take her to the kingdom and kill the Queen."
With that Cheshire blinked and a blade with a foreign inscription appeared in Alice's hand, the weapon glowed with a blue aura and had a pristine shine to it.
"Do you understand, Rabbit?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Then go..."
Just as the boy turned leading Alice out, he heard his name and looked back at his sister, mouthing the words.
"And if she dies.... so will you..."
Our Caterpillar.
Cheshire..
She turned around, the bunny ears sewn into the hood of her coat moving.
