Mia said, "If we find a rock or something small we can throw it and while his distracted we can go in." We both started walking back and forth trying to find something.

I said, "I found a small wooden block that we can use." I gave it to her and she threw it. Once the gaurd walked over to see what it was we ran into the room. Mia quickly closed the door behind us.

Mia said, "There's a staircase in front of us and a couple of touches on the wall."

"They don't give off a lot of light l, wellw have to try and be careful," I replied. Mia started walking down the stairs and I followed behind her. When we were almost to the bottom of the stairs I tripped and me and Mia both fell down the rest of the stairs. I said, "Sorry, are you ok?"

Mia said, "I'm fine. Are you?"

"There aren't any torches down here let's see if we can find a light switch," I responded.

After a couple minutes Mia said, "I found it." She flipped the switch and the lights came on.

We heard a voice asked, "Who are you guys?" I looked over and saw someone wearing a white dress locked up in one of the cells.

I said, "I'm Sapphire this is Mia. Are you Faye?"

"Yes, so you two finally came back," She replied.

I said, "Yeah, Hatter told is everything. We're going to get you out of here." She nodded her head as I went to see if the keys were down here.

Fays said, "The keys should be on the far left wall on a hook." I walked over there and grabbed the keys.

Mia said, "Sapphire, turn around slowly." I did what she told me to and when I did there was some type of animal standing in front of me.

I said, "The Hatter didn't tell us about this."

Mia said, "He probably forgot or something like that." We watched as the animal growled at me and rasied one of his paws at me with it's claws out. He hurried and moved his paw acrossed my arm. I looked down and saw three long cuts with a lot of blood coming out of them.

Mia asked, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, we have to stop the bleeding tho," I replied. I heard the door open and someone coming down the stairs.

Faye said, "Come here and grab this key from me."

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Mia grabbing it and whispered, "What do I do with this?"

"It's a fake key. Go put it on the hooks they won't know you guys have the real one. They never open my cell," Faye responded. Mia ran over to the hook and put the key on it. We watched as the gaurd came to us.

He said, "Your not supposed to be down here. What are you guys doing?"

"We we're looking for the Red Queen. Hatter needs more red fabric so he sent us to come find her to get some," I replied.

He looked at my cuts and said, "Did that animal do that to you?"

I said, "Yes, we came down here and it was here. When it saw me it clawed me."

"Very well. It wasn't supposed to be in here anyway but it's dead now. It knows that if it claws someone there blood we'll kill it we don't know why it does tho. Now the Queen is in her bedroom I'll take you to her," The guard replied.

Mia followed him up the stairs and I wispered to Faye, "We'll be back to get you out soon." Then I ran to catch up with that guard and Mia.

Mia asked, "So out of curiosity do you guys have any cameras around here?"

The gaurd said, "No, The Queen doesn't want anyone to know what she does during the day or the night." When we got to the Queen's bedroom he said, "Wait here." We heard whispering and then the gaurd came back out. He looked at us and said, "You can go in now."

I walked inside the room with Mia following me.

The Red Queen said, "Here's your red fabric if me or anyone else finds you in my dungeon again I'll lock you guys up on one of the cells. Now go" We said nothing and left the room.

I said, "Let's get back to the Hatter." Mia nodded and we started to run down the hallways.

When we got back to where Hatter is I said, "Here's your fabric." U gave it to him then said, "We have the key but we couldn't get her out because a guard showed up."

He looked at my arm and said, "Ok. Did an animal do that?"

"Yeah, the guard said he didn't know that it was down there and AP since it cut me it died but the cuts won't stop bleeding," I replied.

Hatter said, "Ok we'll talk about a plan b and stop the bleeding when we get back to my house. I just need to tie a red bow on this hat then we can go." He tied the bow and we left. When we got outside he looked at one of the guards and said, "The hats done. I'm going home." Once the castle was out of our sight we started running in the direction of his house.

Mia asked, "Sapphire, are you feeling ok?"

"Kind of. I be fine once my arm stops bleeding," I responded. When we got to the Hatter's house we went into the kitchen to see Astra, the twins, and Cheshire sitting around the table.

Hatter said, "Go get me some paper towels and some rubbing alcohol. An animal cut Sapphire." The twins got up and ran off to get them. When they came back Hatter put some alchalc on to the paper towels.

He said, "This is going to hurt." He pressed the paper towels against my arm and it stung. After a few seconds he said, "Chest your up."

I asked, "What is he going to do?"

"He has a healing power if he put both of his front paws on the cuts and concentrates it will make the bleeding stop and heal them a little bit but you will still be able to see them" Astra replied.

I said, "Ok." He put his two front paws on the cuts and a few seconds later they stopped bleeding and they closed. I looked at them and said, "Thanks."

Hatter said, "No problem. Now tell us what happened at the castle." Mia told them everything that happened.

Astra said, "Ok so when the Hatter goes back tommorow go with him and free Faye."

I said, "The Red Queen said if we are caught down there again they'll throw us in one of the dungeon cells.

Tweedle Dum said, "Yeah she does that. Just be glad she said she'll only lock you up. Normal she would say it would be off with your heads."

Mia said, "i don't think they will let us back in the castle agoan after finding us on the dungeon. So we need a plan B."
