_________________Part 2: Crimson Hat________________
Hatter felt something hit his head, it was soft and it plopped down onto the floor beside him. He turned to see a small figure standing by his cell door, "I threw a sandwich at your head." The Hatter's eyes widen, the voice was very similar to the Hatter's sweet Alice but this girl's attitude was different, it wasn't as kind as Alice's. Compared to Alice's carefree and cheery tone, this girl's voice was more commanding and almost always serious. "Eat up! I'm not going to let you starve down here, plus the crap they feed you is nasty..." The Hatter got off the unconscious guard, he limped towards the girl he wasn't too surprise when it turned out to be Alice's twin sister. He looked at the girl with a stolid expression on his face, he had always intimated Alice's sister. "What do you want from me Alex?" The girl pouted, her hands placed on her hips, she turned her head to the side, "Humph, I told you not to call me Alex...It's Alexandra." The Hatter smirked, petting Alex's brown hair, he played with the red streak of hair on her head. Her hair was smooth as Alice's they shared the same gorgeous hair but with a different color of their hair streaks. Alex was born with a red streak of hair on her head, where as Alice was born with a white streak of hair. Alex allowed her hair to go loose and it flowed down to her shoulders in the front, Alice always had part of her hair in a ponytail that went down to her shoulders too. "Is thy Princess angry?" Alexandria stood up on her toes in hopes of facing the Hatter eye to eye, but to no prevail, the Hatter stood as a giant to her. It made the Hatter smile whenever Alex tried to seem taller than him, Alice would do the same thing whenever she was embarrassed. He watched as Alex gave up and declined in height, her face was red and she avoided the Hatter's gaze. "I'm Queen!!! I told you!! I'm the Red Queen of Wonderland!! the magnificent and kind queen!" The Hatter laughed, he picked up his hat, which was lying beside the the guard's sword. Returning to Alex, she still avoided facing him; Hatter put on his bloody hat and grinned. Alexandria looked up and took the hat off his head then gave it to another guard, "Dispose of this ugly hat....Red doesn't look good on you Peter..." The Hatter sighed as he watched a guard take away his hat, it was his favorite hat as well as Alice's favorite hat. He didn't get mad at Alex though, she simply cared for his well being like Alice, both girls never liked seeing the Hatter look like a mess; but Alex would never be able to replace Alice. Hatter also didn't want to hurt someone who looked and similarly acted as Alice, it was the only living memory of her left. "Alex...you're 18, Queen, beautiful and you still haven't found a suitor?....What would you're mother say?" He scolded her, two other guards ran pass Alex and helped Hatter stand up before he fell over onto the floor. He watched as another guard ran to the body of the guard laying on the floor, "He's unconscious...and his wounds are severe..." The queen didn't show that much interest in the news, she simply brushed it off and proceeded back to her throne room. Alexandria gestured for the guards who were assisting Hatter to follow behind, "Hatter..My guards are not sparring dummies....Please find something more lively to attack..." She gave a sheepish smile and walked up the stairs of the dungeon, the guards carried the Hatter as they followed.
