     Kat’s blissful morning disappeared in a moment with the sound of her plants attacking some unknown object in an effort to protect what has always been theirs.  Leaves, rustled against one another and there appeared to be a sound of surprise and shock as a retort.  Her eyes opened wide for a moment as a fearful thought crossed her mind [color=red] [i] It’s the Red Queen. [/i] [/color] Dropping her teacup, she ignored the sound of the pieces breaking in the sink and the feeling of hot liquid stinging her skin.  

     Heart beating wildly like a caged bird, Katrina came upon the scene of the crime only to be befuzzled herself.  All fear subsided and instead a light laughter appear.  There was no card soldier but merely a [color=turquoise] a blonde girl [/color] who was no doubt from the other world.  Grabbing the girls hands Kat pulled her away from the anger plants who calmed themselves when they saw their owner showing kindness to the [color=turquoise] girl [/color].

     [color=red] “This girl is not an enemy; she is a guest now.  I expect you all to treat her as such!” [/color]  With that she left scolding the garden and back to the figure before her.  [color=red] “My dear are you alright?  You must be full of fright with popping in another dimension and being attacked.  I am so sorry about that,”[/color] looking back at the now calm flowers she made a small gesture, [color=red] “They usually aren’t so misbehaved.  They thought you were a scout of the Red Queen that is all.” [/color]

     She sat on the ground with the [color=turquoise] girl [/color] for a moment worried whether she would be able to take this all in.  It has been years since the last ‘Alice’ had appeared and every now in then they can become so afraid of what they see they can now handle it.  Katrina preferred to give each person a moment to gather their thoughts before giving telling them the truth about this place….They would be here for a long time.

     Kat now realized why today seemed so different.  Surely, [color=silver] King Salazar[/color] would be here in no time, sensing the disturbance as well.  Maybe even the Hatter himself has found an ‘Alice’ though the one before her may be the only one.  The real fear is whether the Queen herself would find out about them.  The [color=silver]King[/color] always was a gentlemen towards the outsiders, but the Queen only used them as playthings.  If she did not do enough rounds now, she surely would start to soon. 

     Ignoring the fearful thought, Kat refused to let these ideas make their way towards the surface of her face.  They would not manifest into an expression to scare who was before her.  Standing she out her hand she smiled at the small figure, [color=red] “Here, take my hand and I’ll help you up.  I live in the small cabin right there.  Let’s get you a cup of tea and let you gather your thoughts.  Then I’ll answer any questions you have.”[/color]
