“It’s too late now.”

Alexandra shot him a bewildered look. “What do you mean it’s too late now? One should never give up so easily!” She said with determination in her voice. There was no way she was going to back down when she had come so far.

"You're hurting me."

Alexandra looked up at the boy in surprise and quickly withdrew her hands. “I’m sorry I didn’t realize I was hurting you, I just got really excited because I’ve never seen a caterpillar in human form before!” She said as her face turned crimson red.

“Do you trust me?”

With brows furrowed in confusion she answered “How do I know I can trust when you just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, disappeared and then reappeared again? And most importantly I don’t even know your name!”

She didn’t mean to sound aggressive, in fact she was just kind of scared since this is the first encounter she has ever had with a cheshire cat.

"How could I believe someone like you?"

She was right. She wouldn’t believe herself either in this situation, especially since she was related to the “evil queen of hearts”. But Alexandra was in desperate need for the girl to believe her.

“You’ve got to believe me! I promise you, I’m nothing like my mother! Although we are related, I assure you we’ve got nothing else in common!”

"do you trust me?"

Alexandra looked up at the boy. She was confused and surprised by the sudden unexpected question and was unsure how to answer that question. She had no idea who he was and they had just met, yet at the same time there was something about him that made her feel secure. “I don’t know if I should, we did just meet after all.”

ONCE INSIDE THE gates, he halts and tilts his head to the side, unable to quench his curiosity. “i’m honestly grateful, but… i’ve never really seen the card guards, well, listen to someone. what family are you from, if you don’t mind my asking?” he holds up the clock and gives it a small shake. “maybe i’m to deliver this to you?”

Alexandra stood wide eyed in shock. Crap. He’s probably not from around here since he’s a doll and he probably doesn’t know that she’s part of the ruling family of Wonderland and is the youngest daughter of the Queen of Hearts. 

She was now contemplating whether or not she should tell him the truth or not. If she told him the truth, he would either act nicely and not make a big deal out of it. Or he would run far away as fast as he could, in fear that she would order for him to get his head chopped off.

Reluctantly, she turned towards the doll and eyed him up and down. He seemed like a nice man and it seemed highly unlikely that he would be judgemental about this due to his polite gestures and actions. The doll was now looking expectantly at her, waiting for a response. 

“I’m the Queen’s youngest daughter, Alexandra Cordelia Heart.” She said with a deep curtsey.

“I’m a nobody.”

“That’s crazy. What are you talking about?” She said, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder to comfort him. Alexandra hated seeing him like this. It wasn’t the first time he had told her he hated himself.

“Why can’t you learn to love yourself? You don’t deserve to feel this way! The you are a wonderful person and I can’t wait until the day you finally realize that yourself!” She had had enough of him feeling this way. It wasn’t right. “Now tell me, what exactly makes you feel this way? Because until now, I still don’t understand”

“Are you going to leave me again?”

“Be quiet!” 

“Do you trust me?” 

“Don’t pretend that you cared about me.”

“Don’t you love me anymore?” 

“Foolish.”

“Forgive me, please.”

“Get out of my face.“ 

“Go away.” 

“How could I believe someone like you?” 

“How could you do this to me?”

“How was I supposed to know?” 

“Leave me alone already.” 

“I can’t let you go, not when you’re like this.” 

“I can’t trust you.”

“I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“I haven’t been resting. I can’t sleep.“ 

“I just wanted to help you.” 

“I needed you and you weren’t there.”

“I said I was sorry.” 

“I thought we were friends.“ 

“I’m a nobody.” 

“It’s too late now.” 

“It was hard for me to say goodbye.”

“Maybe, I don’t need your help.”

“Please don’t go.“ 

“Please, stop it already.” 

“Stop lying.” 

“Stop pretending.”

“Stop trying to fix something that can’t be fixed.”

“Wasn’t I worth a goodbye?”

“We need to talk.”

“What more do you want from me?” 

“You don’t care anymore, huh?” 

“You liar!”

“You’re hurting me.”

@udxcamelia

A weed falls unto the ground at the hands of the young lady tending as per usual to the Queen’s reddest roses. She smiles with a passion and satisfaction only a Fiore knows; to take care of and shape a lifeform that grows and exists for others. A familiar, slightly eager click-clacking of heels is heard from a small range away. With a turn of the head, she wonders why a member of the Reds is out and about so late. Camélia could recognize the sound of those fine heels and slightly aggressive, but elegant steps any day. The Queen and all her daughters shared the same steps. Standing up, she walks up to the figure cautiously so as to not give bail that the Red’s youngest is out and whispers, “My lady! What brings you outside of the palace at such unsightly hours?” ————–———————–———————–———————–————– It was 11:00. The time when the card guards would switch shifts. This would be the perfect time for Alexandra to sneak out of the castle to explore the rest of wonderland. She had decided to take her usual route to sneak out, which was climb down her balcony, cut through the garden and out one of the side entrances that no one used but the cards still guarded. She would have succeeded if camelia, a Gardner, wasn’t in the garden at that time. Crap. How did she not notice her standing there? She let out a sigh. She was definitely in trouble now. Thank god it was just camelia and not one of the card guards or worse, her nanny. “I couldn’t sleep and I wanted to get some fresh air. I have been having a stressful day and I decided that the best way to do that would be to go for a walk.” She said, hoping that she sounded convincing.

@udaksel His thoughts focused back to sounds in the distance, the sounds of guards calling out to someone which soon faded. He heard the same voices and the name they called a long time ago while he was being hunted by an annoying bird, and then she was before him, saving the day and placing him onto a safe spot, Aksel even remembered some words of hers that were more funny now then they were back then. Lost in his thoughts he smiled reacting late to the footsteps he heard heading his way, too late once the girl found his hiding spot among the trees. She seemed to be trying to disappear herself, peering behind a few branches before she backed up, too close to him without realizing. “Don’t step on me.” He spoke softly. When she turned around he smiled and stood up, towering over her. “What do you think? Have I become a nice, long and strong caterpillar?” ——————————————————————-------------------

Ugh. Why won’t they just leave her alone? Alexandra was once again sneaking away from the palace to have some fun. She would have been successful if the guards had gone on break on time. This reminded her of the first time she ran away. She was merely a child back then. She looked around her surroundings and realized this was the same place she came to 7 years ago. She didn’t remember exactly what happened, but she did get a sense of deja vu. Alexandra was basically out of breath at the is point and started to slow down once the guards were far enough away. She backed up against a tree, looking out just in case the guards came by. She continued to walk backwards when suddenly, a voice sounded from behind her that scared her and made her turn around immediately. When she turned around to look for the owner of the voice, she was greeted by a young man that looked slightly older than her. “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there. He stood up and she then realized how tall he really was. The man then said something that baffled her. He said something about him being a caterpillar. They were merely centimeters apart and Alexandra didn’t realize this until she felt his soft breath against her face. This caused her face to turn bright red and she took a small step away from him. "What are you talking about? You’re not a caterpillar, you’re a human. Why would you ask me such a weird question?” She said raising her eyebrow, still confused and puzzled by what he meant.

An Awkward Encounter

it was in the middle of his writing his ears began to twitch, picking up a sound of someone near. he wasn’t sure as to what direction the sound was coming from, but he was suddenly silent. a soft spoken voice could be hear, and japser didn’t know why he didn’t notice anyone that close to him before. wonderland wasn’t a safe haven, and being on guard was in best interest to say the least. so, to let his gaurd down even for a second was disappointing on his part. if it was anyone else, or anything he would’ve been dead.

“ huh? ”

he said, confusion laced in his voice as he looked at the female standing in front of him. his book was left open for her eyes to wander, but he closed it before she could set her eyes on anymore of what was scribbled down in the book.

“ do tell, how long have you been here? how much have you heard? ”

She couldn’t believe she actually did it. Alexandra had actually managed to successfully sneak out of the castle. Well, it wasn’t her first success, but it was the first time she did it in broad daylight. 

On her many escapades, she had managed to visit each part of wonderland at least once. In fact, the only place she hadn’t visited yet was looking glass land, the territory of the white queen. And she was determined to see it.

Once she had snuck out through the garden, she changed out of her crimson dress into a simple white one so that once she reached looking glass land she wouldn’t stand out. And also, the usual gowns she had to wear around the castle were way to annoying to walk in.

She then abandoned the gown and started walking towards looking glass land. Alexandra tried to be as discreet as possible once she reached the forest in looking glass land. The atmosphere was peaceful when she suddenly heard a deep voice.

What was that? She was curious to find out. So out of curiosity, she decided to go nearer to the source. Once she got close enough, she noticed that it was a tall boy that was rapping. He had pen and paper in his hand and he would sometimes occasionally stop to jot something down.

Alexandra simply stood there for a few minutes, observing the guy and listening to him rap. She didn’t know why, but she found his rapping soothing, it made her smile. And there were many times when she nearly laughed when the boy furrowed his eyebrows in concentration, trying to think of the next words.

Suddenly, the boy stopped. He then spoke out asking if anyone was there. Damn it. She must’ve made some noise without knowing. She decided that he seemed harmless, and wouldn’t do anything so she came out of hiding and walked towards the boy.

“I’ve been standing there for about 30 minutes. And I’ve heard enough, you’re really talented, you know? You should let other people hear your music. Why are you out here by yourself?” She said with a warm smile on her face.

THE CARD GUARDS outside the gates, however, don’t seem to think so. cathal’s never met a less cooperative bunch in his life. when his chattering and thinly veiled please fall on deaf ears, he finally sighs and scowls. “as much fun as talking to you gents is–” the guards look at him with blank eyes. “–i have important business with one of the members of the royal court. if you won’t send word, then can you at least let me inside?” once again, nothing. except–whoa, there. he takes an involuntary step back as a card guard points his spear at cathal’s heart.

FOR THE LOVE of–“i am not here to steal valuables or assassinate the royal family; i just want to deliver a damned clock!” he hates, hates, hates the queensland.

It was just another day in the palace and Alexandra was wandering the palace grounds once again. She was bored out of her mind and looking around the castle for some entertainment, in fact she had come up with a new prank and wanted to try it out on the card guards since their reactions never failed to amuse her.

She was making her way towards the guards when she suddenly heard yells and screams. She quietly made her way behind one of the gates and hid there, silently watching and observing the situation, curious about what was going on.

The card guards were poking their spears out to a poor innocent doll that didn’t seem like he would do any harm. Who is this guy? And what was a doll doing all the way here in queensland, in fact why would he come to the palace at all? I thought dolls hated the heart family.

Once the doll let out a scream in outrage, Alexandra had enough. She stepped out of her hiding place, walked towards the guards and put on a stern face. “Guards! What do you think you are doing to this poor innocent doll? He’s clearly not going to do any harm! In fact, the person he has important business with is me, so please, move along before I get my mother!” She exclaimed, hoping that her white lies sounded convincing enough for the guards to finally stop.

And sure enough, the guards all withdrew their spears and bowed apologetically towards the doll. “Come on in, sir.” She said with a stoic expression, keeping up the facade that her mother always forced her to fake.

An Awkward Encounter

udaksel

7 years ago...

Alexandra ran through the woods as fast as she could. The yells and screams of the palace guards running after her echoed behind her as the distance between them started to widen. She was so relieved that she made it out of that hell hole and away from the devil that is her nanny.

She then hid behind one of the trees and waited for the guards to go back to the palace. Alexandra held her breath as she patiently waited for the guards to return back to the palace.

Once the voices were gone and she heard the sound of their footsteps were retreating towards a different direction, she let out a sigh of relief and continued walking away from the palace that was her so-called home.

There was no one else here, she liked it this way. She didn’t have to deal with her evil nanny or learning etiquette, boy did she hate it. Why did she have to be born into this family of all the families in wonderland?

She was so consumed in her own thoughts that she didn’t notice that there was a bird attacking a small caterpillar. She then looked at it in horror and quickly waved her arms to shoo off the bird.

After a few frantic waves of her arm, the bird flew away to search for its next victim. Once the bird was gone, she carefully scooped the small creature up in her hands and soothingly stroked its body. “Don’t worry little guy, everything’s okay now. The ugly bird is gone and you’re safe. What are you doing so far away from home? It’s dangerous out here.”

Alexandra looked around for a suitable place to put the small animal down. Thankfully, there was a bush nearby and she ran towards it with the caterpillar in her hands. “Here you go. There are plenty of leaves here now you can become a nice, long and strong caterpillar!” She said with a bright smile, not realizing the innuendo she just said.

Little did she know, she would meet the exact same caterpillar under different circumstances in 7 years.
