We stayed there for what seemed like forever. Everything was silent exept for the sound of the waterfall.

Jax said, "So we don't have a plan."

I thought for a second then said, "Nope, nothing."

"We shouldn't stay here any longer we should keep going," Jax replied. He stood up and went out of the waterfall. I followed him and we started following the map again.

The day passed slowly and me and Jax rarly said anything to each other. We both seemed to be wrapped up in are own thoughts. Nightfall came and we made camp.

Jax said, "We should be where the Red Queen is staying at tommorow." I nodded my head but didn't say anything. We we're both scilent the rest of the night.

The next morning when we got up there was a few guys standing around us. One of them said, "Good, you guys are awake now."

Jax stood up and got into a fighting stance and I did the same thing. Jax asked, "Who are you guys?"

"Not important. We're taking you to the Red Queen," Another one replied.

I asked, "And if we refuse?"

The one standing closet to me said, "We'll force you. Your coming with is either way." I turned and kicked him in the ribs. He hit the ground and two guys ran up to me and grabbed my arms. Jax tried to help me but two more grabbed him.

The guy I kicked stood up and said, "Let's go." They started walking and making is go with them. A couple hours later we approached a house. They drug us inside and threw us onto the floor of the small room we stood in.

The Red Queen showed up and said, "Tie them up." They jerked me and Jax up and tied us to some hooks that were on the wall. Then she said, "We all have things to do. When we come back we will either kill you or use you to get your friends to come for you then kill all of you."

I said, "Good luck with that."

She walked up to me and said, "If I were you I'd shut up." She turned and walked out of the room. The people who brought us to her followed after her. There was a sound of a door opening and closing and then scilence.

Jax said, "I'll try and break the ropes." He attempted to break the ropes but failed. I tried to do it and the ropes burned me.

I flinched and said, "The ropes are burning me."

Jax said, "It wouldn't make sense for them to tie you up with ropes that would burn you if you try to get out of them but not me." Jax tried to get out of his ropes again and I the process the ropes that were around me burnt me.

I said, "There connected to me. If I move my ropes they'll burn me. If you move yours and try to get out of them my ropes will agian burn me.

"So they are trying to kill you right now but not me," Jax replied.

I said, "Seems like it. After all I'm the one who first tried to free the white queen. You didn't agos up until after me and Mia let her out of the cell." About an hour passed and in that time I told Jax to try and get free of the ropes. He didn't want to but he did it anyway.

He found a pocket knife in his back pocket. He was able to reach it so he used that to cut the ropes. He then walked over to me and cut the ropes that were around me.

I had burns around my arms where the ropes were tied around me. Jax asked, "Are you ok?"

I said, "Yeah fine. There just burns." Jax studied the ropes and then looked at me.

I asked, "What?"

He said, "There's more to those ropes then the burns. They set the ropes up so that they would burn you but they also put some type of poison on the side of the ropes that were up against you. So when it burned you the poison would also somehow enter you blood stream."

I said, "So I'm going to die."

He said, "No. That's not going to happen. We're going to go and get you back to the Hatter's house. When we're were there Cheshire and the Hatter can cure you."

I said, "Ok." Just then the sound of voices came from outside of the house.

Jax said, "We need to go."

I said, "So run."

"Yeah basically," Jax responded. We ran out of the room and found the back door of the house. Once outside we sprinted into the woods. After we we're into the woods a ways and they couldn't track us we stopped running.

I said, "I don't feel so well."

Jax said, "You don't look so well either. It's the poison that's in your blood stream. It'll be ok we just need to keep moving." I looked at him for a second. Then everything statrted to spin. A few seconds later everything went black.
