Thread: Whiffling Through The Whimsy Wood, To War-torn Wonderland We Go (AlphaWolfQuin & DA)

Caleb's horse sped through the land on the way to Clover their first destination and the place he was hoping to find Cheshire. Once Caleb reached the land of Clover, he slowed down his horse's speed to a steady gallop as he kept his eyes open for the man he was looking for. Here kitty, kitty, kitty....come on out Samuel! ,Caleb shouted as rode around. After a short while, a tall, slim, dark haired man slipped out from the shadows with an all too familiar smirk spread across his face. Yes Sir White? You have something for me? Or are you just here for a little chat?..... ,Samuel asked before jumping up and grabbing the branch of a nearby tree and gripping it as he pulled himself up onto it and took a seat. Funny....I haven't seen you leave the land of white....nor your queen's side in say.....quite a few years.... ,the dark haired, blue eyed man continued as he began to swing his feet back and forth. Tell me good knight....what brings you here ,Cheshire again asked before the same signature smirk came across his face as blue eyes met blue and the two men fell silent for a moment before Caleb finally spoke. The queen has sent me to inform you that Alice Liddel will be returning to Wonderland....she's just sent for her retrieval and I am to let you and Hatter know of such retrieval so that you may be there to welcome her home ,the white knight said in response. His words making Samuel perk up a bit before hopping from the tree branch and landing directly beside Caleb's horse. After landing he returned his attention to Caleb while brushing himself off, Well why didn't you say so in the first place? Come on let's get on with it, time's wasting, we need to find Hatter ,Samuel stated causing Caleb to shake his head a bit. We don't have to find anyone.....YOU will head to White and wait while I go and seek out the Hatter, now.....on with ya ,Caleb replied in a stern tone that only made Samuel laugh and shake his head in return. Forgive me but even a knight such as yourself would be foolish to venture into the land of Hearts by his lonesome....it's dangerous ,Sam said in response, practically singing out the last part before again smirking. The man's words and the way he practically sang them out only annoyed Caleb but before the man could protest, he felt Samuel's body slip onto the horse behind him before he was pat on the back a bit roughly. Okay I'm ready when you are, let's go ,Samuel stated as he grinned at Caleb once the man looked back to shoot him a glare. Ya better hold on because if you fall off....I'm not stopping to let you back on ,Caleb growled out through gritted teeth before nudging his horse in the sides with his heels gently, instantly sending the horse into a run and nearly throwing Cheshire off of the back almost instantly. Fortunately for Cheshire, his quick reflexes saved him a hard landing and being left behind as he flung his arms around Caleb's waist and held on tightly. Uh....yeah....this is a little awkward if I must say ,Samuel stated before laughing softly, knowing he was making Caleb squirm with his closeness. After Samuel spoke, Caleb again grit his teeth and scrunched up his nose as his horse rode them through the land at a high speed. Oh I know you just had to vocalize my discomfort Sam, it's what you do best.....make people uncomfortable.....why couldn't you just go to White and leave this to me like you were supposed too? ,Caleb replied making Cheshire again laugh before responding. I already told you....it's dangerous ,he replied in a simple tone as they made their way through the land. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- He could see her. Sitting there in the cell he and Mick were heading straight towards. She looked so sad and hurt and the sight made Rabbit's heart sink. Sure the man wasn't the greatest character in the world but he did care deeply for those he considered friends and seeing any of them in such conditions hurt him more than anyone could understand. As they drew closer and closer to Alice and heard the guards speaking to her Rabbit picked up his pace while Mick growled out of disgust. Oi'm gonna enjoy killin' dohs two ,the old fae said mainly to himself as he too picked up his pace along with his furry little friend. As they got closer to Alice's cell, Mick pulled a garrote wire from the inside pocket of his jacket as Rabbit slipped through the hole inside Alice's cell and instantly went to her side and began sniffing at her hands before snuggling against them while Mick slipped into the shadows of the cell and out of sight from the guards who were now looking to Rabbit with confused expressions written across their faces. The distraction was enough to give Mick and opening to grab one of the guards and throw the garrote wire around his neck through the bars separating them. Once the wire was thrown through the bars and around the guard's neck, Mick caught the other end of it and pulled tightly, the wire digging into the one guards neck and drawing a bit of blood as Mick looked to the other with rage in his eyes. Ye signed yer death certificate as soon as de tart av 'armin' dat lassy even crossed yer ignorant mind....goodbye ,Mick growled out in a dark tone before pressing one of his feet to the bars of the cell and pulling the wire he had around the guard's throat with all his strength. The sound of flesh tearing and bones popping could be heard as blood sprayed across the other guard's uniform as Mick damn near decapitated the man's partner. Once the fae felt the dead weight of the newly deceased guard in the palms of his hands, Mick released the wire and allowed the man's lifeless body to drop to the floor while quickly snatching the keys to the cell off of his belt. Once Mick had acquired the keys, the fae turned to look at Alice and Rabbit for a moment only to offer a smile to the young woman in hopes that it may make her feel even a little bit better. We've cum ter bust yer oyt av 'ere an' take yer 'um.... ,he told the young woman causing Rabbit to nod his furry little head before he again nuzzled into Alice. It was so good to see her again even if the situation she was in wasn't great at all. He wanted to free her, just as he had wanted to so many years ago when he first led her down his famous Rabbit Hole and brought her into Wonderland. This world wasn't made for people like them, the hatred and closed mindedness making it a damn near impossible place for those who sought out much more than the 'normal'. After Mick spoke to Alice he instantly turned his attention to the other guard and looked the man dead in the eyes as the fae stepped into the bars of the cell and reached his hand outside of them to unlock the door. The fact that there was a whole mess of keys on the ring didn't matter although the guard wouldn't know the reason as he frantically went through his own set of keys to try and find the one that would unlock the exit so that he could get away from the large angry looking biker that clearly had the intention to kill him over the young woman that was in the cell. Ah wud yer luk at dat? First try....aren't Oi a lucky wan? ,Mick then asked in a slightly arrogant tone as the sound of the lock to the cell door clicked and the fae smirked darkly at the other guard who was now crying and begging for his life while continuing to fumble with his keys. Mick flung the door to the cell open once it was unlocked before he lunged towards the other guard who instantly dropped to his knees and went to crawl underneath one of the desks. A foolish move made with a fear filled mind only made Mick chuckle as he threw his head back before he took one hand and flipped the desk the guard was under. Ye can't run from me fella....stop cryin' an' die wi' sum dignity yer filthy pig! What's de matter? not so big an' brutal whaen yer target isn't a cute wee blonde aye? ,Mick growled out as he grabbed a hold of the guard's shirt and easily pulled the smaller man to his feet and dragged him into the cell. Once he had the crying, shaking mess of a man in the cell he forced him to his knees in front of Alice and Rabbit then leaned down to speak to the man as he kept a firm grip on his shirt. Nigh....apologize. Apologize before Oi put ye oyt av yer feckin misery ,Mick growled out in a low but very demanding tone as he forced the guard to look at the young, innocent woman he and his buddy were about to attack. ---------------------------------- When Lizzie responded to his question saying that there was no time, Jackson raised an eyebrow before he too could hear the splash off in the distance. He then nodded in response after the woman said they needed to get to Clover. After she spoke Jackson stood quietly for a moment to listen to the sounds around them, another splash could be heard as Jackson picked up a scent that didn't belong to either of them nor to any of the men Jackson was with. Then when Lizzie said that it was a matter of life and death and to take her to clover before they were both killed, Jackson nodded again before motioning towards the light at the end of the tunnel. Come on....we'll protect you..... ,Jackson began before bowing his head slightly. Mi'lady ,he then added on in a respectful tone. He was hoping his actions would show the woman before him that he indeed meant no harm and he as well as his comrades were looking for the same thing she was.....a safe haven. I have friends....men from my unit....we mean no harm, we just want to get somewhere safe as well.....we'll protect you for you are in just as much danger as us if not more so ,Jackson then stated before he motioned with his hand towards someone who was hidden within the shadows. After only a few seconds, two very large men emerged from the darkness and came to Jackson's side. This is Auron and Reaper, they escaped Spades with me a while back....they look pretty brutal and that's cuz.....well they are....but.....that makes them some really good allies.... ,Jackson began before another splash could be heard along with heavy footsteps drawing closer. Alright like you said ma'am there's no time....let's get the hell out of here....whatever's coming behind us.....it's not friendly ,he continued before motioning for Lizzie to walk behind him and in front of his two comrades as they started towards the exit of the tunnel.
