• Alice grunted softly as the card guards pushed her on the dirt road. Her blond hair was dirty and tangled up nastily, her blue dress had holes and cut marks all over it and it barely hung on her body. Alice’s blue eyes still sparkled with life as she searched the crowd, her eyes caught onto a top hat and she smiled softly to herself. She looked up threw her dirty bangs to the green grass that they approached and sighed out slowly, she was about to die. After all those years of trying to kill the queen had come to an end… Well for her anyway. There was someone else to take her place, caterpillar had her book and put it in his library and she had said her good byes to hatter and her friends of many years. Now it was time to face her death, look it straight in the eye and smile in its face.
    The Queen of Hearts or Hearts as she loved to hear in her ears watched as Alice was brought to her. Hearts smile came long, almost as much as Cheshire’s. Her black hair was in a usual bun, crafted to look like a rose and a tiny crown was under it giving off her royal effect. Her red dress had ruffles and gold stitching all over, with white ruffled under garments peaking out giving off a Victorian dress look. Her dark, crimson red eyes sparkled at the idea of blood being spilled. “Why Alice, so lovely to see you for the final time…” She said in a silky voice. Alice looked up and then stood up straight to her, her chin held high.
    “I can’t say the same for you Hearts…” The queen only laughed and studied Alice; it had been a while since she had seen Alice like this. All alone and ready to die strongly, it was position that she had been in a lot over the years but now it was going to be the final time she saw that strong look in her eyes.
    “Now Alice, You don’t have to die if you only tell me where the joker is...” Hearts whispered in Alice’s ear, it made Alice move away from her slightly.
    “I’ll never tell you! You disgusting, sickening woman!” Alice hissed at her and Hearts growled slightly.
    “Fine then, but don’t say I didn’t give you any chances!” The queen took a step back on the soft grass and snapped her fingers. Guards grabbed Alice by her shoulders and forced her up the hill, there laid a chunk of wood with cut marks and stained with blood. The pushed her onto her knees and she looked at the crowd, she could see in the distance a top hat with many crazy thing flying out of it, two bunny ears onto of golden blond hair, and even farther out a blue looking man with smoke coming out of his mouth. She smiled softly and the queen frowned. “Is there any last words you wish to say Alice?” The queen yelled out loudly and all of the people in wonderland at the bottom made no sound so she could speak her last words.
    “Yes…” She whispered and raised her head high, her voice loud. “THE JOKER WILL COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS! SHE WILL COME AND THE HOUSE OF CARDS SHALL FALL!”
    The queen felt hot, angry and frustrated, Why won’t she just die quietly? Hearts pulled the axe away from her ace of hearts, making her jump back and held up high. The guards pushed Alice’s neck down on the wood, it felt rough and cold but she closed her eyes.
    “Good bye Hearts, this was a fun game…” She whispered and the queen smiled evilly, laughing at it all on the inside.
    “OFF WITH HER HEAD!” Hearts screeched loudly, her voice like a siren for Alice’s deaf and brought the axe down. There was a sickening snap like noise and the smell of blood hit the air hard, Alice’s head dropped to the ground softly. Her blond hair beginning to soak with her own blood, her body went limp in seconds. The queen was shaking as the axe stuck in the wood, her hands held onto the axe hard making her fist white. Ace took a step forward and placed her hand on the queen’ shoulder,
    “Madame? Are you alright?” She as in a soft voice, her eyes filled with slight worry…And fear.
    The queen shook slightly and turned to the ace, her eyes slightly wild. “I’m fine...Clean up this mess! You know what to do with the body...” Hearts turned from the scene and started back to her castle, her arms trembling and her eyes wide. The ace studied the queen then turned back to Alice’s body, “Clean this up! You heard her!” Guards calmly lifted Alice’s body, making more red blood leak out and spilled out the ground. In the distance you could see two figures move into Hatter’s forest, just like shadows. Ace narrowed her eyes but said nothing; she turned from the beheading area and headed back to the castle. Her blond hair that went to her shoulders was pushed out of her own blue eyes; Did the queen only hire me for I looked like Alice? No matter, Alice is dead now and the queen is all to myself… Ace laughed lightly and entered the castle, Alice’s body in tow.

    In Hatter’s forest two figures stood in the middle, a small boy with white rabbit ears coming out of his head trembled hard and tears came out of his eyes. A man out a hand on his head and rubbed him softly, his long, spiky black hair stuck out of his colorful hat on his head. He held out a tea cup filled with tea to the young boy and he took it, still crying hard. “Don’t cry White Rabbit...It will be alright...” He said quietly, his own red eyes closed and his breath shallow under his mad looking clothing.
    White looked up with brown eyes; his tears had stopped and his small nose sniffling slightly, “Your right…I’m sorry Hatter!” He said in a whisper like voice. Hatter smiled slowly, trying to make White Rabbit and himself feel better.
    “Don’t worry too much White, all we need to do is find the Joker and Alice with have her revenge...”

    The man in blue who was considered Caterpillar sighed out
    slowly, he dropped his cigarette onto the grassy area. He walked past the two figures that discussed plans and then past where Alice was chopped to his hut. His light blue hair ruffled slightly as the wind blew and his dark blue eyes looked up at his home, it was a comfort he needed right now. He opened the door slowly and moved to a chair under a lamp, he sat down and he let his head drop into his hands softly. She’s dead... Goodness… He wiped his eyes and leaned back in his chair, it was soft and cozy like, he sunk in it and slowly drifted off to sleep with thoughts swirling in his head and tears in his eyes slightly.

    If you open a door by Caterpillar’s chair and go down the dark hall way, then open the door at the end there is his library. You go all the way to the back of it then look down at the floor where the aisle says Folklore and Fairytales there are two books, one is open to the last page and its soaked with blood. Its title is Alice in Wonderland, now if you look to the left there is a book that is closed right now. Letters start forming on it, the first letters are elegant but only one word looks rough like its old. The title is The JOKER in Wonderland. The book opens all by itself and words start forming on the first page…
