teasures it" hatter said.
dante let me go and pulled out the picture "i just like the look of a happy family, both older and younger sister the look the same happy with there mother which also looks like the children" dante said showing my the picture.
i toke it and my eyes widen tears started to come from my eyes even though i didnt realize.
"my father toke this picture of us" i say.
hatter, dante and the others looked at me, i toke my blonde hair out of the pigtails i wore and let it drop, i know looked like one of the children in the picture "the younger one is my sister alice" i say and wipe my eyes before handing back the picture.
"why do you look different now to your picture" dom asked.
"because when my mother disappeared, i began to change i was upset she was gone and started doing things i shouldnt" i said.
dante went over and hugged me "dont worry ok, your mother was the kindest of the alices we have meet" he said to me to try to comfort me.
just when he hugged me something came to my mind, it was a vision of guys in card type outfits coming this wat, with bandersnatcher, i pulled out of dantes grip and did my hair back up, then grabbed my gun that was on the floor "we have to move" i say sounding scared.
"what is wrong" the hatter said.
"this is whats wrong" i say pointing to the bandersnatch and the card guards in the distance coming towards us.
all of them stared then looked at me, my eyes narrowed at them, then i turn and run.
dante and dom were the only ones to follow me.


chapter 3

i had to run and thats what i did, i was glad i wasnt alone though, dom and dante were trailing behind me but i was worrying the hatter and chesa might get kill. dante grabbed my arm to stop me running any further.
i stopped and looked at him "w-why have w-we s-stoped" i asked out of breath.
"we need to change direction autumn, if we keep running this way we are going to run right to the queens castle, and this is the red queen i am talking about my dear" he said "we have to go to the white queen but we must make a stop at the hare and hatters home, itll be along journey to her castle so we need a place to stay for the night".
i look at him and nodded, he toke my arm and lead me in a difference direction to the way we were going, dom followed behind me, i looked behind me to look at him, i saw he was no younger than 10 but was a tall as 5 year old boy, he kept his eyes to the floor, leaping from one place to another, like he was on steping stones, i suddenly saw my sister in him, a vision of the past, she was leaping from one stepping stone to another over our garden pond.
i smile and look away to look ahead of me, i looked up at dante, his eyes were serious and determined, he looked down at me and smiled "whats with that smile" he asked.
"its nothing i just was thinking" i say keeping up with his pace.
"may i ask about what" he said.
"just my sister" i answered
he nodded "can i ask what is it like to have family?" he said
"well they can get annoying especially alice, but no matter how much i say i hate her, i actually i love her" i told him "lets just say its got a nice feeling to it".
he nodded and said nothing more.

the whole way to the hatters and hare home we were all silent, dom had kept leaping through the long grass but other than the noice of grass moving it was completely silent, an awkard silence.
dante had kept leading since i had no idea which way to go, i had kept my eyes to the floor the whole, thinking it would be best.
as they kept walking they were all unaware of the queens guards hiding in wait for them, they were waiting for the right moment to strike, their captain, sir Anus, whose name was always laughed at when someone said it and who ever laughed was killed, was watching them from afar waiting like the others.
when they were in view sir anus lifted his arm to tell his troops to get ready to fire.

i was still walking beside dante the silence was awkward.
there was a sudden gun shot which broke the silent, i turned my head towards where the sound, as a feel something pierce my skin, i stumble backwards and put my hand on my arm tightly.
dante looked over at me "are you ok" he asked worried
i move my hand from my arm and stare at my hand "blood...." i say quietly, realizing we were under attack of some uninvited guest.
dante moved infront of me and said in latin "gladius umbris" which translated as sword of shadows, i was shocked to even understand what he was saying.
a sword began to form in his hand, as he moved it, it looked like black mist came off, but at the same time you could tell it was a soild black sword "dont worry, ill protect you" he said then looked at dom "slow them down" he ordered.
dom nodded and turned into a mouse, at that moment a army of red was running towards us, i stared and watched the small mouse boy run in his mouse form.
"whatever happens autumn stay behind me" dante said looking at me.
"i can look after myself" i said to him as i pulled out a gun, i didnt care no longer about my arm, i could feel it run down my arm, hot and watery.
"no autumn" he said taking my good arm "you are to stay behind me till this is over" he ordered.
i pulled my arm free and back away from him "i will so what i want" i snap and run off towards the people, before he could stop me.
he came after me, i aimed my gun at the people and shot, they shot back.
dante kept trying to catch up to me but i was to fast. i felt like a child again, when i was playing cowboys and indians with alice and jake, when he was my best friend, i had a water gun, him and my sister were the cowboys or cowgirl in my sisters case, and they were charging towards me as i charged to towards them, i shot at them and they shot at me unlucky i lost because of me being much slower than jake, but that wasnt going to happen here.
i kept shooting at the enermy, but then i thought i saw jake, i stopped in my tracks and tried to see him again but at moment, i felt something hit my chest.
i looked down and gasped, blood began to leak out of my chest, i heard dante shout my name, i looked at him before i felt myself falling to the ground feeling dizzy.
dante reached me he turned to the people that were coming closer, i looked at them trying to not pass out, one of the peoples eyes seemed familiar, dante aimed the gun i had at them and was about to shot, but i got up and stopped him just intime "dont...." i said gripping hold of dante, dante looked at him he lowered the gun and picked me up "dom" he called and ran off with me in his arms, the army began to follow but dante was faster than them, much faster.
"dont worry autumn the hare will......" dante was saying but blackness comsumed me before i could hear him finish his sentence.


chapter 4

i began to wake up, the first thing i heard was a voice ".....mouth" it said, it sounded male.
"you have to open your mouth" it said, it sounded scotish, i did as it said and opened my mouth slightly, but kept my eyes closed.
"good girl, now you need to swallow" he said he pured a hot liquid into my mouth, it burned but i swallowed it.
i open my eyes slightly "am i dead" i asked my voice sounding rough and dry.
the guy had long brown ears, and he was dressed poshly, he had brown eyes with a mix of green and blue in them, he had messy blonde hair "no, your not, or i wont have fixed you up" he said.
i look at him then sat up and lifted the covers off "y-you striped me" i said going red.
he laughed and pushed me back down "no, no, that was chesa, she did that for you, she got all angry and defensive when i tried, something about a girls bits should be kept private to the male gender" he said "now you need to rest you are weak and need to stay in bed for a little while longer".
i look at him and nodded, i heard the door open gently and the hatter walked in "well look who survived there suicide act" he said.
"shut it" i said and look away from him.
"geez touchy much, well im glad you survived, you should have stayed with dante" he said.
"whatever" i say.
"well im gonna go tell everyone your fine" hatter said "dantes worried sick about you, i think he has a liking for you little miss"
my cheeks go red "shut up" i say.
"fine, fine, i was only saying, oh and i want to measure you for your new clothes when your up to it" he said and left the room.
hare watched him leave "your old clothes got recked so i had to toss them out" he explained.
i nod "its fine" i say quietly.
the hare looked at me "cheer up, autumn, everything will be fine in the end im sure of it" he said to me.
i nod and rolled on my side showing him my back.
he sighed and picked up the cup he had given me the liquid in and left the room.

i open my eyes not even realizing, i had dozed off, but something was different, i noticed i was no longer in the room, i was on a wooden floor in the middle of blackness. i push myself up from the floor gently so i was sitting up, i saw a figure in the distance.
"hello" i called to it, it turned and looked at me and to my suprise it was dante.
"autumn help" he said, but something about the way he said it was different, i got up and began to run towards him.
he began to walk away from me, i tried to go after him but he got away from me and faded into blackness.
i kept trying to go after him but i had no luck and found myself at a bunch of door they surrounded me, i turn back to the way i came to see a door there.
i swallow hard wondering what door i should choose.
"dante where did you go" i asked softly to myself, i go towards the blue door and opened it more blackness, i black away getting scared now, but the blackness pulled me in, sucked me in, absorbed me into it the door closed behind me and i began to fall through the blackness.
voices surround me "alice has returned" a male voice said which i recongized as the hatters voice "should we dispose of her hatter" asked
