Hatter said, "First you guys need to come with us to the castle. I make hats for The Red Queen so while I'm doing that you guys need to go and try to free Faye."

I asked, "Ok, when do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning, now let's go to bed," Hatter replied.

The next morning...

I woke up to the sun coming in through the window. I glanced over at Mia and she was still asleep so I reached over and grabbed a pillow and threw it at her. She sat up and asked, "What was that for?"

I said, "Its time to wake up."

"Ok, why couldn't you have just said that instead of throwing a pillow at me," Mia replied.

I shrugged and said, "Because this way the fun y to do it." The door opened and we turned and looked at the Hatter standing in the doorway.

He asked, "Am I interrupting something?"

"No," Mia responded.

Hatter said, "Ok. There are clothes in the closet that you can wear. I'll see you downstairs." With that he shut the door and left. Mia walked over to the closet and pulled out a red shirt and some blue jeans.

She said. "I'm fogoi to get dressed in the bathroom." I nodded me head and went over and grabbed a blue shirt and some shorts. After we got dressed and brushed our teeth we went downstairs and found Astra, Hatter, and the twins at the kitchen table.

Hatter said, "So when you guys are looking for the the dungeon watch out for the gaurds and the Red Queen."

Mia said, "Ok we will."

Cheshire showed up and Hatter said, "We should be on our way." We said bye to everyone else then we left with Hatter. We were about ten minutes away from his house when we heard something running towards us.

I asked, "Who would be running towards us?"

"Start climbing that tree," Hatter replied. I walked up to it and started to climb. Mia immediatly followed behind me. When we got up there we looked down at the ground and watched as two gaurds approched The Hatter.

One guard said, "You shisho be at the Queen's castle."

"I was just on my way," Hatter replied.

The other guard said, "Hurry." With that they turned around and left.

When me and Mia got back on the ground Hatter said, "Let's go." About five minutes later we arrived at the castle. We came up to the doors and The Hatter nodded at the two gaurds that he talked two in the forest.

They moved in front of the door and the one on the left said, "Hold on Hatter, who are these two girls?"

"I found them on my way here after you two left," Hatter responded.

Both guards looked at us and one of them asked, "How old are you guys and are you sisters?"

I said, "No, we're just friends and werew both seventeen. We were walking in the forest and ended up in a part we weren't familiar with and got lost. We found him and asked if we could come with him."

"He said we could come and when we we're done here and helping him he would help us. Now that we are at the castle we can find our way back to are houses but we still want to help him today," Mia replied.

One guard said, "Very well, you guys can go in The Queen is in her throne room." We walked inside and went to where the guard told us that The Queen was.

When we walked into the room Hatter walked up to tHe Red Queen and said, "Sorry I'm late today. I ran into these two.." The Red Queen rasied her hand to stop him from talking.

She said, "I don't care whk they are but if your late again it's off with your head. Now go get to work on my new hats." Hatter nodded and walked out of the room. Me and Mia followed behind him. We went into a small room filled with fabric, hats, a couple small machines, tape measures, and scissors.

Mia asked, "Did you make all of these?"

"Yes. The Red Queen gives me the supplies and I make her hats," Hatter responded.

I asked, "Did you used to make hats for Faye to?"e

Hatter said, "Yes I did. Faye used to let me make hates for her and anyone else who wanted one, but The Red Queen inly let's me make hats for her."

"Oh ok," I replied.

Hatter said, "Now go find the dungeon and free Faye. If anyian sees you tell them that your looking for the Red Queen because I need more red fabric."

I said, "Ok, let's go." Me and Mia went out of the room and I to the hallway.

Mia said, "My guess is that that dungeon is on the other side of the castle because it's a big castle and there were a couple of signs saying what's down this hallway and there wasn't one for the dungeon."

"Ok. If we go back to the throne room then we can just walk acrossed the room and will be on the other side if the castle," I responded." We started following the hallway back to the throne room.

When we got there I said, "I don't see the Red Queen or any of the guards let's go."

Mia said, "Ok. I'll go first so we won't be as loud." I watched as Mia sprinted to the other side. When she was acrossed I ranover to her. I turned and faced her and as I did I hit into a pedestal that had a vase on it. I held my breath as Mia dove onto the ground to try and catch it.

She caught the vase and I said, "That was a close one. Let's get out of here." Mia put the vase back and we walked down one of the hallways and found a sign on the wall.

Mia read, "Kitchen right. Dungeon left."

I said, "Well that was easy to find." I turned and went down the left hallway with Mia following behind me. When we turned the corner we saw a big door with a gaurd standing in front of it. We went back around the corner before he noticed us. I looked at Mia and asked, "What do we do now?"
