Jax looked at me and said, "Let's go." He ran off and I ran after him. While running I felt something hit my arm then heard it fall on the ground. Pain shot through my arm but I ignored it and kept running. A few minutes later we reached Diamonds house and we're out of site from the people with the bow and arrows. We stopped running and Jax turned to face me. He said, "At least they didn't have good aim."

I said, "They could have hit us or killed us if they want to. Come on lets go knock on the door."

Jax said, "Hold on, there's blood coming through your sleeve."

"Yeah they shot me with an arrow that's why they said they could have shot us or killed us if they wanted to," I replied. Before he could respond I went up to the door and knocked on it. A few seconds later Diamond answered it.

She asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Jax said, "We know that youryo the Red Queen's adoptive daughter and your going to tell us what you know and why you kept it from us."

Diamond asked, "Do I get a choice in the matter?"

Jax glared at her and said, "No."

Diamond sighed and said, "Fine, come in." We went inside and sat on the couch.

Jax asked, "Where's the first aid kit?"

She said, "I'll go get it." When she came back into the living room she asked, "What's this for?"

Jax said, "You're going to tell us what we want to know while I fix Sapphires arm."

"I'm fine Jax," I replied.

Jax said, "You got shot in the arm with an arrow and your bleeding your not fine. Now shut up and let me help you."

I said, "Fine." Jax stood up and took the first aid kit from Diamond and then sat back down next to me. He pulled my sleeve up and started to clean the cut out and make it so that it stops bleeding.

Jax said, "So tell us Diamond."

Diamond said, "Ok fine, I am her adoptive daughter but I left her awhile ago."

I asked, "If she was your mother why did you leave?"

"When I was a kid I didn't know that she was bad and wanted to kill Faye and some other people. When I got older she told me everything and that she wanted me to help her but I didn't want to so I left and moved back to the other world," Diamond replied.

Jax asked, "Do you have any rubbing alcohol?"

Diamond said, "Yeah." She left and came back with a bottle and a rag a few seconds later.

I said, "You don't have to put that on my arm."

She gave it to Jax and he turned and looked at me. He said, "Yes i do i have to finish cleaning it out and then wrap it."

I said, "Fine." He put some rubbing alcohol on to the rag and then pressed it against my cut. He held the rag there with his hand while he turned to face Diamond.

He asked, "What do you mean you moved back to the other world?"

"My mother went to the other world only one time. During that one time she decided she would need someone to help her get what she wants and to get revenge on some people. She went into an orphanage and found me. I was only two at them time but she adopted me anyway," Diamond responded.

I asked, "How old were you when you moved back?"

Diamond said, "I was eleven when she wanted me to join her I told her no and ran away to the other world. A couple found me and adopted me but a few weeks ago my mother somehow tracked me down and sent me a letter saying that she was coming for me and that I will help her."

Jax said, "Ok. So if you don't want to join her and be like her why did you move back here?"

"She said in the letter that she wants to see me and if I don't join her she'll kill my foster parents and then me," Diamond replied.

I asked, "So where are you real parents?"

Diamond appeared to think for a second and then she said, "They died."

Jax said, "How do we know your telling the truth?"

Diamond said, "Maybe I am maybe I'm not that's for you to decide." A couple minutes passed in complete silence. Jax wrapped my arm and then a few seconds later Cheshire appeared out of nowhere.

I looked at him and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Me, Hatter and everyone else know that some people attacked you guys in the forest," Cheshire responded.

Jax asked, "How do you know that? "

He said, "One of them went rouge and told us about it. He also told us who sent them.

I said, "Yeah it was the Evil Queen.

Cheshire shook his head and said, "No it wasn't."

Jax said, "Then who was it?"

Cheshire looked at both of us then at Diamond then back at us then he said, "Diamond told them to."
