Alice the 19th

Axel Bailey!!" Hatter's real name... just wanted to type it out here so that I would remember it when Adonis asks him about it.
Hey, guys!. ^.^ Guess what? I've been starting to work on pictures of the Characters in this story... And Dormouse was one of the first characters I drew on the okkeai board I go to often.
If You'd like to see how she looks like for me, and also to see others like Adonis that I'll be drawing.. then go here: http://www.monkeysfly.net/sun/oekaki/index.php?artist=Sailor+Aurora

As for anything else.. well, there isn't anything else.. so why don't you just enjoy the story?

Alice the 19th
==================

The next morning Adonis and The hatter was now sitting in the living room once again, waiting for the Healer to make the final inspection of Dormouse so that they could go and see her.
The Healer stepped out. He looked awfully tired.. but it wasn't that surpsing, since he had been working on Dormouse into the night.. in fact, He didn't even get any sleep yet.
Both Adonis and The hatter stood up as he came in.
"Hey, how is she?" The Hatter asked.
"Well, She's very fine now considering all things. She'll remain alive on her own without life support now. However... Whatever happened to her have had a severe effect on her psychical body. Her neck and jaw is now in an cast, but that will heal in due time. However, I can't say the same for her being in an coma now. That now at the moment is very unsure whenever she snaps out of it or not with my help."
"COMA?" Both Adonis and The hatter gasped.
"Don't worry.. I can make her snap out of that comma.. with a certain potion that I can make. However.. It seems that I have run out of one vital indgerent for it. You could go and get it for me. Anyhow, before you go on that errand for it... you could care to tell me what happened with the Dormouse? You were never exactly clear on what happened to her.." The old man said.

So The hatter explained about Alice and Adonis coming over for tea, and how the March Hare had tried drugging her (he left out the part about how he had successfully drugged adonis, since he didn't want to think about that right now), but since she didn't drink any of the tea he had resorted to violent rape. It appeared as Dormouse had prevented the March Hare from actually doing anything to Alice, this had driven the March Hare into an rage frenzy (for he was even more insane than the Hatter in a bad sense). He had started beating up the Dormouse while Alice had appeared to run away. He also mentioned the fact that He and adonis had been inside discussing something personal when they heard the noise outside, and Hatter had gone outside to see The March Hare beating up The Dormouse.. with no Alice in sight.

When the Hatter fhinshed the part about the fight, The healer was shaking his head. "So YOU'RE the Hatter, Mmm? I'm actually surprised to hear that you actually seem to have a moral side at all... I hear the rumors about you, after all. But that's rather awful, what happened to dormouse."
The Hatter sighed and then shrugged. "Sometimes the rumor gets pinned on the wrong person especially if he hangs out with that one person that was the source of it. However, I'm not exactly innocent, as you probably can guess. After all, I led the March Hare my own home and an place to hang out for my own reasons..."
The healer nodded. "Yeah, I can see how that would happen."

Adonis was pondering to himself though... that it seemed kind of odd that Alice would had run away.. She wasn't the type to run away from a bad situation. In fact she was more the type to charge toward and start a fist fight.. she was always so bad tempered, that she would tend to make harsh assumptions without basis or jump into something without even thinking. But then again, Rape could easily be scary..espeically if it was tried on the one that always seemed like it never needed to be protected, for it protected others. Like Alice.
He just hoped that Alice were okay right now...

~~***~~~*~~~~**~~~***~~

Alice stirred, and woke up with an very massive headache.
"Oy..." She groaned.. and were about to roll over to reach for the clock in order to look at what time it was.. when she realized that she wasn't in bed, but rather on some grassy ground.
Then she remembered everything.. the trip into wonderland.. and the whole fiasco with the Tea Party.. and Adonis.
"Oh no!" She then sat up pretty quickly, and then took a look at where she was.
She was completely naked..with the exception of the shoes that she still had on. And she was alone in the middle of some forest. At least, she thought she was alone until she heard an voice.
"FINALLY, you woke up. I was starting to get bored. and do you know how much of my time you've wasted? I could had been out hunting for food.." An voice out of nowhere grumbled,
"In fact, I'm starving now.. I hope you do have something interesting to tell me to make it up for it, Alice."
With that, an cat-like creature appeared.. just like the Dormouse and the Hare, He too was like a strange blend of human and animal. And it was also VERY obvious that he was the Cheshire cat.. with that way he was now having that strange literal ear-to-ear grin.
Only his head was there.. giving it a rather creepy floating head appearance. Alice was about to ask him to have the rest of himself appear, When the Cat just did that.
He was furry all over, even on his strangely human like face. The short, smooth fur was a mixture of purple and mauve.. in stripes all over his body. His cat ears was right above where human ears should had been, and his eyes were a vivid golden color.
It seemed to Alice as every human animal hybrid seemed to insist on being completely naked, Because like the Dormouse and the March Hare, The Cheshire Cat was naked too.
The only thing he was wearing was an cat collar... one to ward off fleas too from the looks of it. Oh wait, he seemed to be wearing matching leather bracelets to go with his collar.
If he had been completely human, he would had looked like an 27 year old man that worked out regularly, or at least excised a lot.. because he obivously had strong looking muscles on his body.
"Alice! don't tell me you've forgotten how to speak.." The cat said impatiently, snapping Alice out of her thoughts on examining the Cat.
"Sorry.... I'm sort of still getting over something.." Alice mumbled, not sounding like her usual self.
The Cat looked at Alice thoughtfully, and then asked: "Care to tell me about it? Perhaps I can help out."

As Alice told her about what happened at the Mad Hatter's place, The cat was thinking to himself. He thought about the first time he had met Alice. He had been surprised in when Alice came back again, only to look like a completely different person. Alice was the only person that he knew that changed completely, going though an incarnation in memories, attudite and appearance every time she left and then came back to wonderland.
The last time Alice had come to see The Cat, which was 50 years ago.. she had appeared in an green dress and had red hair that time. She mentioned something about having an family that carried on genes; and also had this tradition of naming every female that possibly had the gene Alice. But that idea he found to be strange... He couldn't picture an whole family where EVERY female was named Alice.. it was much easier to think of each Alice that he met as the same person.
This time, Alice had Brown hair and eyes... along with a very impressive of mof melons. The Cat thought those melons of hers would rival even the Queen's, and that was saying a lot.

After Alice had fhinshed telling the tale, The Cheshire Cat looked unusually solemn...even his mouth wasn't sporting that trademark grin.. in fact, it seemed to be all one straight line across his face.
"That's quite the situation you got yourself into, young lady. Knowing those two madmen, I don't think it'll bode well for your brother."

"I know.. I have to go back.. but I don't know how I ended up in the Forest here, so I'm lost." Alice replied, looking rather distressed.
"You mean to tell me that you intend to go though the forest alone...and naked?" The Cat asked, raising one eyebrow. "That's rather dangerous around here..."
"What choice do I have? I have to protect my brother from anything at all costs... After all, no matter where you go, there's always weirdoes, creeps and perverts. My Brother is way too trusting... he could get hurt." Alice answered, suddenly looking rather annoyed.
"Everyone, huh?" The cat said, grinning now. "When did you get so jaded? Anyway, I think you better come with me. I have some clothing from...um, the people who visited me in my part of the forest last, and also from the last time you visited me before, Alice. I'll also escort you back to the Mad Hatter's house to get your brother back."
This offer did sound better than wandering though a dark forest alone and naked, so Alice just merely nodded and off she went, following the cat.

While walking the crooked paths with the Cheshire cat at her side, Alice wondered how Adonis was doing at this very moment. After all... March Hare wasn't the first that had tried to rape her. There had been that one person that had been successful, when she had been very young. foutunely it hadn't been her step father, but it had been just as bad. After that moment, She couldn't see anybody who actually seemed to enjoy sex in any forms as a normal, nice person. In fact, it was her opinion that anybody that even thought about sex as a good way were compete perverts and bastards. It was also in her opinion that those kinds of people should just die or just go away forever.
Her brother was the only person that she trusted completely not to be that way, since she had put effort into protecting him and sheltering him from anything of that sort.. so that the same thing would never happen to him. Also, He was the only male that she felt completely comfortable around. But she feared that Adonis was now already learning about that sort of thing... That she might be too late in saving him.

"So tell me more about your Brother.. you never told me that you had one before." The Chershire Cat said, snapping Alice out of her dark moody thoughts.
"Oh..Well, what do you want to know?" Alice murmured, wrapping her arms around her bare chest as seeing it had suddenly gotten chilly. Which wasn't surpsing, actually.. they were going deeper in the forest, where it was the most dark.
"Oh, tell me anything about him.. what he looks like, what he likes to do..that sort of thing. I also have to wonder.. does he change often like you do? I mean, the last time I saw you 50 years ago, you had red hair. Before that, it was black. I remember the first time we met, your hair was blonde. I must say, you're a very interesting person..Nobody around here changes that much as you do."

At first Alice was confused by what The Cat was talking about, but then she suddenly realized that he meant her ancestors, and that the Cheshire Cat had obviously thought of her and all of the pervious Alice's as one.
"Oh, Adonis doesn't change at all that much. He's slightly shorter than me.. by a foot. Of course, He's still young. He's 15 years old, and he'll be 16 years old very soon. I'm 17 years old now, so that means that I'm two years older than he is. He has red hair, just like our grandma when she was much younger. Oh yeah, and he has those really nice green eyes."

"That's good to know.. I'll know what to watch out for then." The cat replied, as he pointed towards a giant tree that had an door on it. "Here we are.. this is where I sleep, or at least store my stuff. You go in, and go though the closet for some of the stored dresses I have. I'll wait outside."

Alice nodded, and then went inside to look for the clothes that he mentioned.
~~*~~~**~~~~*~~~~

The march Hare woke up, with the most massive headache that he had ever had. He found that he was bleeding, so he got up and staggered inside into the house.
There he found nobody home, but he was too pissed off to even care. He cleaned himself up, and then bandaged his own head. He then went looking though the house, overturning everything in sight for something he wanted.
With some sasfication he found what he had been looking for: an axe. It had been in one of the closets in the second floor hall.
He had been looking for the axe, because he had the sudden itch to go hunting... having a certain mouse for dinner, with a side of an hatter for dessert suddenly sounded good to him.
After all, He had been getting what he always wanted all those years.. But those two just had to go and screw up a perfectly good deal that they had going on here.
And he hated it when people broke off their deals with him...espeically if it had been forged in the form of a promise. Broken promises were one of the top things he hated.
In fact, he hated that so much that he had killed anybody that even thought about doing that with him. In f tha that was how he had met the Hatter.. he was on the run from the local town's law since he had killed one of the noble lords who broke his word.
The Hatter had found him attractive, and the March Hare had used that to his atavange. He lied about the felony only merely stealing food because he had been hungrnd tnd the Hatter had hid him in his house.
Ever since then, they had formed a close relationship. But it seemed that it had gone sour...As seeing they had stopped caring for each other pretty much. But that was no good reason to break off the deal that they had going for at least a hundred years.

With that thought, he went out the doors into the road, with the Axe in both hands. He took a look around, and then realized that he had no idea where they went.
Seemed like he'd have to take a wild guess where they went. He headed off in the direction of the Forest.
