Down The Rabbit Hole- Fantasy -Alice In Wonderland Roleplay

[ChocolateDippedinMello]

As Tick-Tock began to stand up, she stopped abruptly, along with the gear in her back. She clutched at the orb in chest, it's swirling white color turning a vibrant shade of red. Hunching over, she whimpered, breathing heavily as a surge of pain passed through her.

"Tick!" Reaching down Indya picked up tick -tock and held the tiny creature careflly in her hands "Tick speak to us, what's wrong?"  

[The Night Faery]

((how big is Tick-Tock?))
Nana set the Jabberwocky down on the ground and hurried over to Tick-Tock. "What's wrong, Ti-- oh, no." Her eyes widened in horror. "Oh, please don't let it be so... That is the Queen's color... somehow Rosalie must have figured out where we went. We have to hurry. I think I remember the way. Let's go!" She lifted her skirts and dashed across the orange earth toward the great mesa. As she ran, the path became clearer in her mind and soon enough she knew the whole way again. "Hurry!" she called to the others. "We're running out of time!"  

[ChocolateDippedinMello]

((Tick-Tock is actually the size of a regular girl. She's just you know, frailer than most... *nods*))

Tick-Tock nodded. "Yes, Rosalie...is...getting closer." She stood wearily and began to limp after Nana, but unfortunately collapsed. "You guys, Tick, should go. I'll, Tock, stay behind."  

[MadHattard]

Hopping excitedly, Jabbers ran after Nana, scooping Tick-Tock onto his back, followed by The Hatter and Nana. Then, he ran off in the direction Nana was originally going.  

[ChocolateDippedinMello]

Tick-Tock squeaked, clutching to The Hatter. "Well, this is one, Tick-Tock, way to travel." She sighed. "I just hope, Tick, we can make a deal with, Tock, the guardians before Rosalie gets here."  

[The Night Faery]

((that's what I thought... just checking. biggrin ))
Nana cried out in surprise as they raced up the path. She looked back at the two Cheshires, but she wasn't worried about them having to keep up; they would most likely appear right beside them once they stopped moving.
"Do you know where to go?" she asked, leaning dangerously forward, toward the Jabberwocky's head so her words would reach him. "Run up alongside the face and stop right in front of the piece of rock that juts out!"  

[MadHattard]

Jabbers nodded and did as Nana commanded, hopping enthusiastically (sp?) as he made his way towards the jutting rock. Reaching rock, he skidded to a hault, tail wagging happily knowing he helped.

"Where are the guardians " Indya was getting unhappy now. The new queen seemed more determined than her mother to get her hide. She looked at nana "shouldn't they be here somewhere?"  

[ChocolateDippedinMello]

Tick-Tock hopped off The Jabberwocky and nodded at Indya's statement. "Yes, Tick-Tock, Where are the Guardians? Is there some sort of, Tick, secret passage to get to them?"

Cheshire appeared infront of the group and leaned against the rock formation. "Let's hope they're friend than foe. Just what we'd need, another enemy."  

[The Night Faery]

"Don't lean on that!" Nana cried, ushering Cheshire off the rock. She moved to take his place against the outcropping of rock and felt along the inside edge, closing her eyes as she did so. Just... there. She opened her eyes and smiled triumphantly. "Aha," she whispered.
There was a tiny chunk of loose rock, only the size of her fingernail. She carefully pried it out and looked inside. "There it is," she said, and reached her littlest finger inside it. A faint buzzing sound came from the hole and she drew her finger out again, replacing the chunk of rock. Sure enough, the rock slid back and to the side to reveal a low, gaping passageway. Nana smiled proudly at the others and ducked inside.

Tick-Tock giggled at hearing the buzzing noise, at first thinking The Guardians had a well hidden doorbell. "Good job, Nana!" She said, following Nana inside the rock formation.

When it came time for Cheshire to enter, his face looked grim, knowing he did not want to be trapped inside anything again like he was in The Underground. He looked over at Indya and put his hand on her head, ruffling her hair. "I'd suggest turning into yout Cheshire form, it'll make the room feel larger than it really is." Morphing into the purple striped Cheshire, his tail swished angrily as he entered the cave.

Indya feeling well enough again did not change into a chesire cat as she walked down the dark stairway " we should be ready , they could be anywhere" she was used to the dark , since she was a chesire so she could see well  

[The Night Faery]

Nana beamed at the compliment and held her head high as she led the way. "Don't worry, Cheshire, we'll be out of the little space soon."
A loud roaring came crashing at them through the darkness. Nana just smiled and kept moving. There were thundering footsteps coming slowly but surely in their direction. "It's a Jabberwocky," Nana said, "just in case you didn't know. I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence, but the Guardians always have two trained ones that they put as watch-wocks. That's what I called them anyway." She giggled, and stopped before a giant, clawed foot. "Spread out so he can see you all," she told the others, "and show him you've got nothing to hide." She gave the huge creature a deep curtsy and twisted her neck about to show the Jabberwock-blood tattoo. The Jabberwocky lowered its great head down as if to peer at the mark, and then snuffled in thought. She looked up at it, showing her bright red eyes that none but Jabberwockies and Guardians had. The great beast nodded at her, slowly blinking its own red eyes, and moved aside, revealing a passageway that spilled orange light. She curtsied again, grinned at the others, and made her way into the center of the great mesa.  

[ChocolateDippedinMello]

Tick-Tock looked up at the large Jabberwocky and curtsied before rushing after Nana. She looked over at Nana and smiled. "So far so, Tick, good." Scooping up the Cheshire, she continued following Nana, fascinated by the orange glow of the mesa. "I can't wait to, Tock, meet your family."
