Alice the 19th

Sorry about putting off the next update... ^^;;
I know how long you people must had waited. And I am so terribly sorry for the torture.

Enjoy the Next chapter of

ALICE THE 19TH
======================

"Bloody hell, what is this all about?! This is not fair..." Alice wanted to scream, although she could not get the words out. She was scing ing into a thick gag.
Everything was pitch dark, But that was not surprising because The Queen had put some thick blindfold on her.
The screaming was entirely unproductive (and being honest with herself, it had been semi-hysterical screaming -- not heroic shouts of outrage -- but in this situation, she considered screaming to be a justified form of self-expression). The gag ran deep, and Alice could tell She was not producing enough sound to penetrate the closed doors let alone summon a rescue. The effort did nothing but leave her starved for oxygen and heaving air through her nose.

Where was the Cheshire Cat, She wondered. He seemed to have teleporting abilities to go along with his power of being able to vanish into thin air. So no cage or chain could hold him prisoner. Or at least she hoped. She hoped for some heroic effort on the Cat's part to rescue her from this... humiliation.

For the Queen had actually ordered the headless soldiers to strip her of every single clothing... they did not even give her the decency of having at least some underwear on. And the last time she saw the Cat, they had actually managed to knock him out and tie him up with some thick chains.
She was then separated from him, and carried to some torture chamber that seemed to be deep underground.
They actually hung her from the ceiling by her wrists. Her wrists were held by some shackles which of course hung from the ceiling, which made her arms spread in a slightly modified version of the crucifixion style.

She threw her weight against the restraints, grunting with frustration. It did nothing to help, of course. It only made the cold hard metal dig deeper into her skin, hurting her more. She felt some warm liquid trickle down her arms, and realized that it was her blood.
She did not think that the shackles could had cut that deeply into her skin, but it would then explain why it hurt so much every time she struggled.
The cold metal that she felt on her ankles, were also digging into her skin... it was on her feet so tightly that she could hardly move her feet at all. She also felt something wet and warm run down her feet, dripping off her big toes. She suspected that was her own blood as well.

She tried to shallow, clearing her throat. Her throat felt extremely dry right now.
And her heart was beating wildly... of course, that was to be expected. She was deeply afraid now.
She had been scared before, but not like this before.
SHe had knew that it was a bad sign from the moment she saw those heads nailed to the walls as if they were hunters' trophies. Yet, like a fool, she had kept on going inside into the castle... because she had actually believed that the Queen would had helped her be reunited with her bro.
.
Of course the Queen would have to be a deadly dangerous madwoman, if she actually had headless people serving her, with their heads as decor.
She knew that she was definably going to die. What else could happen in a place like this, that an idiot like her had foolishly wandered into? And what of her own brother?
She sincerely hoped that he was all right... and somewhere faraway from the queen right now.
*******************************************************************************************

"I do not care if going to the castle is dangerous! My sister's there... I have to go, she needs me." Adonis protested.
The Hatter sighed, obviously against the idea.
Dormouse had stopped crying awhile ago, but now was whimpering as she curled up on the sofa in the living room.
The healer walked in, carrying a tray full of tea.

The Healer put the tray down, and then handed out the teacups to everyone.
There was a moment of silence as the Healer sat down next to the Dormouse and made himself comfortable.

"Well," The healer broke the silence. "This is certainly an odd situation... Although I have heard of such cases happening before."
"Visions or not, powers or no...." Axel muttered, " I had rather not go to the Queen's castle. She is a power-thirsty madwoman. To meet with her would mean death... Even the Cheshire Cat seems mellow next to her. And there are legends on the horrors of being hunted by the Cat."
"You do not have to come with me, Axel." Adonis said. "I'll go by myself if I have to."
"I do not want you to! You are mine now!" The hatter snapped, slamming down his teacup so hard that it shattered.

Adonis grew angry all over again. "Yours? You are speaking of me as if I am nothing more than a possession or some kind of pet...... well, I'm not! You cannot tell me what to do!"
"I just do not want you to get hurt! I do not want you t........to be...." He trailed off.
"To be what?"
"Like those headless drones..." Axel said. A dark look coming into his eyes.

Dormouse tried to ease the tense situation by saying to Adonis: "He's right, Adie. The Queen is really dangerous... and Hatter do not want to lose you, that is all."

Adonis shook his head. "You all don't understand. My sister's there. She is the only real family I have."
The Hatter replied, an obvious attempt to stop him from going: "I could be your family, you know. You are very welcome to live with me for a while, all you want."
Dormouse perked up. "Yea! You would be much better than the March Hare.... We would have so much fun together!"

He groaned. "You still do not get it.... that is not what family is all about...It's all about love. What kind of brother would I be if I just knowingly let her stay there, fully knowing that she would die? No.... not after all the things she has done for me."
The healer nodded. "I knew it from the moment, that you were to go to her... from the look in your eyes, just how much you love your sister. However, to travel the roads completely alone towards the Castle. Would be too dangerous. I suggest you go on the train. It's much safer this way. And they actually have a way to allow access into the castle without detection."

Adonis then looked at him. "Train? But I thought that was only in Mirror land. At least from the books I read.."
The healer nodded. "Yes.. there was a time when the Train Service could be only be reached at The land of chess. But in an attempt to have the peace between the land of chess and Wonderland, they had it brought into Wonderland as well. Although you cannot get to the land of chess using the trains, you still have to use the mirrors to get there. But I suppose that information's useless, since you will not be going to Chess land."
"And the fastest way to the castle is by train?"
"Yes."
"All right, then I'm going on that train.."

"Okay, you win.." Hatter sighed. "But if you are going, I'm going too.."
Adonis looked up at Axel. And then He replied: "You do not have to go if you do not want to."
Axel shook his head. "No... I cannot let you go alone. I will not let you face the Queen of Hearts alone."

Adonis smiled. "Thank you, Axel."
**************************************************************************************

Alice gasped, as she felt hands taking the blindfold off her head.
And at last now she could see everything that went on.
The same pair of hands took the gag off her, and Alice could not help but gag slightly as the offending gag was finally removed.
Alice eyed the obviously phallic-shaped gag in distaste.
She took this chance to clear finally her throat, and try to shallow her own Salvia as her throat felt dry. However, as seeing the Salvia had pooled up in the back of her mouth, her whole mouth was completely dry and did not help in clearing her throat at all.
In fact, it felt seriously irritated.
All a sudden, there was a glass of water in front of her, held by the same hands.
The hands helped her drink the water without choking, and she eagerly took the water.
The hands pulled the cup of water away, and Alice sighed in relief.
But the relief was short lived as she looked at the person who had helped her quench her thirst.

The person who had taken the blindfold off was one of the Queen's headless servants, and it seemed to be holding a tray full of needles and vials. Along with the now empty glass cup.
The Queen of Hearts were standing right by the headless servant, smirking as if she was plotting something big for Alice.

Alice felt the fear growing inside her, dreading what was to come.
"Queen has such big plans... and just think, my lovely Alice. You are going to be a big part of it all.." The Queen said, as she picked up the needles and started filling them up with the strange substance inside the vitals.

Alice choose to look down, watching her own blood run down her feet from her ankles. There was already a small pool of blood under her feet. She was intent on sing ing the color of her own blood, and the way the blood pooled around the shackles.
After all, she did not want to give the Queen mastication of showing her the fear in her eyes. And she did not really want to look at the Queen, considering that she looked way too much like her brother Adonis. It was just too bizarre looking at her, and knowing fully that she was not Alice's brother. Looking at the queen, watching her do this awful thing; it tore at her heart, and hurt her more than this painful method of bondage ever did.
Alice could not explain why at all... save for the fact she looked so much like Adonis, that she could not help but feel something for her.

"Would you like to know how Queen came to be called the Queen of hearts, while Queen makes you ready?" The Queen asked, as she cleaned the tips of the needles.

"bloody hell, Woman!" Alice snapped, still refusing to look at the Queen, "Would it kill you to stop referring to yourself in the third person? Honestly, do you know how annoying that is? I'm your prisoner... which I suppose in a way means that I'm also your Guest. So at least could you try to be a good host and make me NOT completely barmy?"

The Queen chuckled. "You're right, of course. Queen...ah, I... am your host. For the time being. I suppose I could humor you."

It was just then the both of them heard a groaning noise behind them.

"Ah, it seems that Queen's other guest is now awake." The Queen said, smiling smugly.
Alice did not have to guess who she was talking about. She knew.

"Cheshire Cat!" She yelled, trying to turn her head so that she could see him.
****************************************************************************

Adonis was quickly walking down the yellow roads, with the hatter trying to keep up.
"let's see..the Healer said that we had to stop in front of a large mushroom, and wait for the train to arrive. Watch out for any large mushrooms.." Adonis muttered, more to himself than to . "Y. "You know, the directions he told doesn't even make sense.."
"Well, there is a large mushroom up ahead! Now please stop... you are walking too fast. I would say you were trying to run away from me.." Axel panted, not used to all this walking.
Adonis stopped although not because Axel told him to stop, and in a few moments Axel managed to catch up.
Axel was too busy grumbling about Adonis hurrying too much to notice that Adonis was staring at the mushroom in a strange way.

What Adonis saw was not just the Mushroom. It was what was on top of the mushroom.
There seemed to be some somewhat small fairy-like sitting on top of it, but wingless. And the Fairy-like creature seemed to be growing bigger and bigger, the more it gnawed on one side of the mushroom.
In less than 20 seconds, There was a naked woman sitting on the top of the mushroom, smiling at him. Her body had a greenish tint to it, with yellow stripes across her legs and back. Her eyes was even more of a vivid green color than her own body, with an orange pupil.
And her hair was short, orange, and seemed like it had a furry texture to it.
She seemed like some strange sort of alien, yet... strangely attractive.
Especially when she was sitting there, obviously comfortable with her own nudity.

Adonis blushed... and Axel just had noticed her just then.
Axel raised his eyebrows in surprise, as seeing to him she had appeared out of nowhere.

The woman lit up a roll of Paper and Tobacco. To which Adonis would had called a Backy, as anybody else in London would.
And she spoke. "Well, are you going to stand there gawking at me or are you going to speak?"

"Oh, pardon me, miss..." Adonis said, trying his best not to blush... and to keep eye contact, instead of gawking at her own body.
"We're looking for the train station... to get our tickets from the train ticket person. Do you know where we would find it?" Axel asked.

"You're looking at it..." The strange woman replied.
"what? But that doesn't make sense. How can you be the train station?" Adonis wondered.

"No, silly. What I meant is, I give out the train tickets... and I call the train to come fast as it can. I take it that you want to get on the train?" The woman replied.
"Well, then. May we have a pair?" Axel asked.

The woman then smirked. "depends on the payment."
Adonis then looked at Axel. "Um, do you have any money for the tickets? I kind of forgot to ask the healer for some.."
Axel cursed, just as the woman laughed.

"I do not want money at all. After all, we caterpillars do not need such silly things. I thought of something else much more interesting."

Adonis blinked. "You're a Caterpillar? No offense, But you do not look like one to me.."
The woman smirked, as she spread her legs wide. "Oh? Take a closer look, my sweet. Doesn't THIS look like a caterpillar to you?"

Adonis could not help but taking a good look. There was the typical vagina. But there was also something out of place there. There was a large striped and spotted Caterpillar bobbing its head there...
on closer inspection, Adonis realized that it was actually a part of the woman itself. And that it was in fact, a phallic organ.
Adonis covered his mouth, as he murmured: "Oh my god... .. a.. are you.."

"Wow, a she-male! You are the first one I have met. I never had met anybody like you before. I hear they are extremely rare... what a honor." Axel said, grinning. He did not seem shocked or the slightest fazed by this. In fact, he even tipped his hat as a sign of respect.

The woman/Catepillar grinned, as she stopped holding her legs wide open for the boy. She resumed her normal sitting position, and she said: "A pleasure to meet you, sir. You are?"

Axel introduced both of themselves as "The Hatter and traveling consort.."
The Caterpillar grinned at the last part. "Your consort, he? Too bad. He is the pretty little thing. I hoped to get a sexual payment from him here. Unless you would allow it, in return for tickets on to the train? You may have a go at me too, if you like."

Adonis got over his shock when he heard this. "So.. you get sexual favors in return for tickets?"
The caterpillar shook her head. "Not all the time. I only do so for the pretty ones, like you. The ugly ones. Well, let's just say I have them do things for me, like tell me tales or give me something in return to keep myself entertained out on this lonely outpost."

She sighed. "But I hoped you two would not object to doing me. I've been lonely out here for such a long time. And when I turn into the Nymphalidae, I would hope that my change would not be greeted with such need for sex."

"Nympha..what?" Adonis blinked, unfamiliar with the word.

"Oh, pardon me. I tend to forget that not all are scholars and wise like caterpillars. The family Nymphalidae, of which I am part, means large beautifully colored butterflies. I'm Genus Vanessa, one many children of painted beauty and red Admiral. You know, I always found it annoying how every of us were named Vanessa by our parents. But that was my parents for you. They were so uncreative in naming. When they find a name they like, they stick with it."

"At least they weren't like your grandparents, he? Otherwise you had been stuck with a name like Painted beauty or Red Admiral." Axel joked.

Vanessa, the caterpillar-woman, smiled. "I suppose that is true. So how about it? Would you two mind giving me a go at it?"

Adonis was about to say that he was not really in the mood, and that he did not have the time for this... when Axel completely surprised him by saying: "I would not mind doing you very much, So I will agree to do you for the tickets."

"Axel!" Adonis gasped, unable to believe his own ears.
"What? Come on, She is a Hermaphrodite... or in more crude terms, a she male. They are rare, and I've never had one before. It'd be a big honor for me.." Axel said, defensively.
"So you are saying that you would had sex with her just to put a few notches on your belt?"

The woman listened in to this conversation in amusement, and she remarked to the hatter:
"My, you are so good at flattery. But it seems that your consort is jealous. Or perhaps even worried. Not that I blame him. He seems to be just a common human, however pretty he might be. Whereas I'm a caterpillar. And we are well-known for our..flexablity. We can do things he cannot. Maybe he thinks that you may no longer want him as a consort."

Adonis was seething at this point, angrier than he had felt before.
"I am not Jealous, nor am I worried! I simply just do not have the time to screw with some....some..." He shuttered, unable to find the insult that he was looking for.
"Relax, Adonis. This is for a noble cause, after all. You've got to rescue your damsel in distress, and you've got to get on that train." Axel said in a smoothing voice.

"You belt up!" Adonis yelled, using the British slang for 'shut up'. (for those who doesn't know ish ish slang.)

"Well, you do not have to join in. And if it upsets you that much, you can just turn around and not watch." Hatter said, not quite getting why Adonis was so upset.

Adonis could not believe his own ears, again. "You're going actually do her. Out HERE? in the open on a public road? Is not there a law against that?"

Axel just shrugged, as the caterpillar-woman started undoing the belt buckle on his pants.
"I do not understand some laws, but I do know that it's actually nice to experiment with others without needing to resort to drugs.." Axel said, without thinking.
"Drugs? You do drugs?" Adonis asked, shocked. While he liked to remain inside his cocoon of childish naivety and acting innocent... he was not ignorant of such dangers as drugs.
And Drugs was one thing he never really approved of, especially when they were against the law in his world.

The woman named Vanessa, was eagerly pulling out Axel's cock, and licking on it.
Encouraged by the hatter's moan, she started slowly engulfing it in her mouth. She started bobbing her head down on it.

Adonis gaped, and felt his face go red at watching this.
He turned around, not really wanting to see Axel bang with somebody else.
But the moans behind him was getting louder in his ears, and he thought that same familiar heat rise up in him. He was actually getting aroused by this, and it was getting so to be so painful. He wondered if normal arousal were like this. so painful, with no control over it?

He couldn't help himself, He just had to look again.

Axel was now completely naked, his clothes left on the side of the road. Vanessa were on all fours on top of the giant mushroom that she were on. And it looked like they were doing it doggy style.
And both of them seemed to be enjoying themselves greatly, with the way they both were moaning so much.
The woman started masturbing her own strange caterpillar-like penis, while she was rocking her own body back and forth, against Axel's own body.
"Oh yes....Do that some more! Oh, I had almost forgotten what it was like to have men.." She panted, with a look of pure bliss on her face.

Adonis found himself slipping his own hands into his pants, masturbing himself.
He was enjoying this, even though he did not know why. And he felt ashamed of himself... although he couldn't begin to fathom why. Was it because he believed that Axel and himself was a couple, even though they only had been together for two or three days? And therefore, that he would not even want to do it with anybody else... and now he was enjoying seeing Axel do it to somebody else? There was somet mis missing here, and he did not know what it was.

He unzipped his pants, and pulled out his penis. He tried to masturbate some more to make some of that painful longing go away, but it seemed to be only getting worse. What was he doing wrong here?

Axel noticed Adonis standing at a distance, watching them... and he seemed to be masturbing himself. He smirked.
"Well, it seems that my consort is not as against the idea like we thought he was..." He said, and Vanessa looked up.
When she saw Adonis, she licked her lips. "How wonderful. Ask him to join us, why do not you? I would love to taste him.."
"Hey, Adonis! Come join us.." Axel called out.

Adonis felt himself blush deeply in the face...the very suggestion of joining them seemed to thrill his own body to no end.
However, he did not really want to do it. he was not into the whole group sex thing.
But it seemed that he was losing control over himself completely...
Axel's voice seemed to had put some strange control on Adonis, for he found himself walking towards the caterpillar-woman and Axel.
Perhaps it was just as well, since he needed this uncontrollable burning desire to go away... and at this point he would do anything to make it go away.
But.....there was still that small corner in his mind....where he was trying to say out loud that he did not want this...
He only wanted this sort of thing to be special... not some random romp out in the middle of wonderland.

The caterpillar woman grinned; as she eagerly pulled off his pants and underwear. Adonis tried his best to keep from falling over while she did it.
"Adonis, why do not you lie down on the mushroom? This way, she can suck yours, and you can suck hers.." Axel suggested, all the way pausing to lean over into her back, to get a good look at Adonis.
Adonis did not say anything, but did as Axel told him to.
The woman did not waste any time in getting to work on Adonis's erection, but Adonis hesitated as he gingerly touched the woman's strangely shaped penis.
It stills looked like a caterpillar to him, especially with the stripes and markings all over it like you would see on certain alive small caterpillars back home.
The way it seemed to move and stretch sure did not help it any... Adonis had the thought that if he tried sucking on it, it'd be almost like he was trying to shallow an insect.
which was not exactly an arousing thought.
He settled for just stroking it, and jerking it off with his hands.

The Caterpillar woman couldn't voice how much she loved all this attention as seeing her mouth was a little busy at the moment, but her moans got louder and louder...
So Both the males knew anyway.
The sucking and the motions of the bodies got even more intense, as seeing it was close to climaxing time for everyone.
"Oh man, yes.....this is so good. You have such a skilled pussy.." Axel moaned, as he leaned over to start fondling her breasts.
"I cannot stand it anymore! more..!" Adonis panted, as he pumped her shaft with even more of a vigor than before.
All this was too much for the woman, as she stopped sucking, and let out this loud unearthly moan, as she came.
white spurts came out of the "head" of her penis, and it bobbed up and down with such speed that it made thwacking noises when it hit Adonis in the face.

Adonis turned his head away, surprised.
He was the second to come, as his spunk shot out and covered her chin.
Axel gave out a groaning noise, as he gave it one last long bang into her pussy...

And with that, it was over. At least, for both the males anyway.
The woman was still moaning, twitching uncontrollably.

Adonis rolled off the mushroom, and looked at her in alarm.
"Is she okay? She looks like she is having a seizure!"
"I do not know. I've never dealt with Herampodites or caterpillars before.." Axel said, while looking at the woman in curiosity.

Much to theirprisprise, milky white fluids kept on coming out of her... well, mini "Caterpillar" thing... and pretty soon, she was completely engulfed in it.
And what's more, the white spunk actually seemed to thicken, turning into a liquid cocoon.
With that, the moans stopped.
The white figure did not move at all.

There was an uneasy silence as both Axel and Adonis dressed themselves, wondering if they had somehow killed her.

Just as Adonis finally couldn't stand it any longer, he went over to her to check for a pulse, anything at all...
she finally moved...the white spunk burst, pieces of it flying everywhere.
And she actually leapt into the air, seeming to fly.

"Vanessa?" Axel asked, uncertain on what was going on.
For it seemed as if the woman before their eyes was completely transformed. Her skin was now a blue shade, with green stripes across her body. And she was now sporting a pair of large red and green wings.

"Wow, that was the best sex I've had for far as I could remember! It's really made me feel like a new woman... literally!" She answered, with such joy in her voice that Adonis seemed to stop feeling any resentment he had towards her, and actually smiled.

"Wow.. You're very beautiful.." Adonis said, smiling.

"Thank you, Axel and... whoever you are. If we ever meet again, we shall have to do it again!" She said, and with that, she flew off into the sky... dropping tickets everywhere.

As the sky seemed to rain tickets on them, Adonis wondered exactly where they were supposed to go to wait for the train.
But it seemed as that question did not have to be asked, for both of them saw a strange light in the sky, which was soon accompanied with the sound of a train.
Much to Adonis's amazement, There seemed to be a flying train which was coming down for a landing. It landed exactly right in the middle of the road, and screeched to a halt.

The Hatter was happily filling up his top hat with all the tickets he could get, while Adonis was blinking. wondering how the train could fly.
Just as Axel was about to comment about having "free tickets for life", a ticket man stepped out of the train, and said to them: "All board the train if you're ready. leaving in three minutes."

Axel and Adonis both stepped into the nearest Boxcar entry that they could find.
And inside they found it to be some sort of luxury travelling train, but every section of the train was different, it seemed. some had their own private cabs, while there was also a public area where you could just sit with other passengers.
Both Axel and Adonis simply looked around for a free spot to sit in, and wound up facing each other on opposite sides of the cab they were in.
They were sharing the seats with the most oddest creatures that Adonis had ever seen, although nothing was starting to surprise him anymore.
He was sitting next to some goat person, and Hatter was sitting next to some person who had a large horse's head.
The Horse person seemed to be absorbed in reading a newspaper. and far as Adonis could read, the headliner on the front said: "!!eltsac morf yawa yats ot desivdA . egral eht no llits neeuQ".
Adonis wondered if it was backwards, but he suddenly felt tired and couldn't be bothered to figure out what it said. He fell asleep just as The ticket man came by and told them: "I'll have your tickets, please.."

He drifted in darkness, feeling more peaceful than he had in a long time.
"Finally! I kept on trying to reach you... but it seems that your physic and telepathic powers aren't that strong at all. they seem to be only strong in dreams.." A voice said, sounding irate.
Adonis turned around in the darkness, asking: "Who's there?"

With that, the darkness faded away, and he found himself in some room that reminded him of dull hotel rooms. And in this room, was a young boy. In fact, the most adorable little boy that Adonis had ever seen.
"I'm time." was his simple reply. "About time, I was starting to think that I couldn't alert you about what would happen at the castle, and why you would need my help."
"Time..? You mean, the one who Axel had such trouble with? But I thought he was an old man.." Adonis said, confused.
"I AM an old man... or at least, I used to be anyway. I'm a little bit allergic to being a prisoner, you see. I seem to be reverting to my former state. Another 50 years, and I will be just a weak little baby. After that, well... I dread to think of what would happen." The boy sighed, with the most sorrowful expression on his face.
Adonis couldn't help feel sorry for him, even though he couldn't fully understand what was going on. "You're a prisoner?"
"Aye, that I am... a prisoner of the Queen. I cannot escape, She had put magical seals on the doors and the windows. That is why I need you to release me. Do so, and I will help you save your sister."
Adonis nodded. "All right. Are you in the castle?"
"Yes. I'm in the west wing, remember that."
"Okay. Say. since I'm talking to you and if you're not just a dream, I was wondering something."
"Yes?"
"What was the deal with you and Axel? He said that you trapped him in time because of some argument, but he doesn't look very trapped to me... and he was never too clear on what the whole argument was about."

"I hoped you would not ask that. but since you asked, I shall tell you. We used to be on very good terms. We were close friends, and... well, I was also secretly in love with him. But as Time itself, Nobody would see me that way, not even the Hatter.
But I was happy being his close and personal friend... and I would had handed him the world on a platter if he wanted it. Unfountely, he is a very mapulative and arrogant man.
He saw how easy it was to have me bend to his wills as he desired... and used me way too many times." Time answered, a dark look in his eyes. with such sadness that seemed out of place, espeically on a young-looking boy.
"He also gave no regards to my feeling on how he handled people... using them as sexual slaves and drugging their tea to get into bed with them. I did not fully approve of him doing that. That is what the whole argument was all about. That was why I made it forever 6'o clock for him, the very same exact hour and day that we argued."

Adonis shook his head. "That doesn't sound like the Hatter I know."
"Well, he has toned it down in the last hundred years. But he still doesn't seem to have learned his lessons, and I hoped he would." Time shook his head. Time then gave Adonis a sympathizing look. "And I'm sorry too, For it seems that you're one of his victims at the moment."

"I'm sorry? What do you mean, 'victim'?" Adonis asked, confused.
"He's been using drugs to get you to let him into your pants, so to speak. Granted, he has not been using them lately... but he did so at the very begging when you two met. And I'm afraid that he used a certain strong drug which effects might never wear off. like the moment a few minutes ago when you were doing it with that caterpillar, you weren't entirely in control of yourself. That was the side effects of the drug in control of you."
"WHAT?" Adonis yelled, not believing his ears at all. "That cannot be true... he said that he loved me. and I think I love him too.."

"Think about it. It all makes sense now, doesn't it? The painful uncontrollable urges...they were not natural at all. And those feelings you thought was love and attraction, your own way of justify having sex with a stranger... only chemicals of a drug that becomes one with the body system." Time said, looking at Adonis with that sad look in his eyes, as he stroked the red hair on his head.

Adonis pulled away from the contact, tears forming up in his eyes.
"Why are you telling me this? Are you telling me that Hatter feels nothing for me at all, that what we did together was just something to please himself?" Adonis asked, his lips trembling.

"I'm telling you, because I know all too well on what it feels to be used. You don't want to live a lie, do you? Besides... I don't want you to make the choice of staying here with him forever. You are only merely a visitor... and you aren't ready to stay here, to become one with Wonderland. You're not the sort of person, anyway. you're much too stable. Your sister on the other hand...she could easil the the perfect resident, as seeing she is not entirely stable at all."

"What do you mean, become one with wonderland? How is that even possible?"

"Ah, yes. you don't know, do you? You see, Wonderland is about what you could call a spirt realm. Wonderland is the realm between the physical plane and the spirt realm, a place that can be only be easily Perceived by a few. Only the unstable ones and the ones who are unusual dreamers seem to be able to come to this place, in one form or the other.
A long time ago, this place was stabilized by druids from the physical plane who came to train their minds and their powers.
And they made it so that it could be only be visited by a mirror transporting spell, or rips in time and space that appears to be only ordinary holes. Like the rabbit hole that the very first Alice used. I suspect you know who I speak of; the man who wrote of her adventures married her, after all.
Anyway, since Wonderland was a mixture of the physical plane and the spirt realm, the druids also saw it as a place where they could tresencd to a higher being, and become one with wonderland. The more people that becomes one with wonderland, the more lands and powers there seem to be.In this method, this world evolves. That was how the land of chess just happened to appear one day.
I used to be one of those druids. And I suspect that your family and you have druid blood in them as well..That's how you were able to come to this place. I suspect that if Alice does not survive the torture the Queen is going to put her though... as she dies here, she shall become a part of wonderland herself."

"She's not going to die! I'm going to save her, after all." Adonis yelled, tears running down his face.

Time sighed. "I know this is a lot to take in, so I will leave you to your dreams.."

With that, everything disappeared and Adonis was once again engulfed in darkness.

Next chapter, Adonis confronts Axel on the train... and also you get to see the deadly torture our poor Alice gets though. I've been dreading writing her scenes... I kind of like her, she has got spunk. :(

don't miss it!
