A sort of side story to Entwined. Enjoy the smut!
Nothing about this belongs ot me except the concept. All the rest belongs to Carroll and whatever legal advisors his family has.
~*~*~*~*~
The White Rabbit raced, heart pounding and mind ticking, into the court of the Queen of Hearts. She had summoned him from almost halfway across the Chess Board and required he be in as soon as possible, which in royalty speak meant right now. He felt his heart nearly bursting, but loyal to his duty, he stood, trembling from exhaustion, until he got his message. Then he fainted. The Queen sighed in exasperation. This always happened.
When he finally regain enough of his energy to leave, he raced off nearly forgetting his fan. But at the last second he remembered and grabbed it. The court just sadly watched him go, there was nothing else that could be done about him.
He had to race to the center of the board and the obstacles to it were many. The ticking in his head was getting stronger with each moment and reached that maddening place when he reached the river that formed the last boundary to the Tea Party's square. A ‘Thank God' burst through the noise as he ran onto the bridge. . . and straight into the river. He came up sputtering and flailing, but made it to the bank, looking all the world like a drowned rat. The displacement of the bridge meant that he would have to wait for the ferry.
By the time it arrived, he was rocking and humming to himself trying to keep down the relentless ticking. It hadn't even properly docked before he jumped on and yelled at the ferryman to GO! Surprised, but stirred into action by the royal crest on the letter his passenger was carrying, he made it across the water in record time.
Once on the other side of the water, the ticking abated a slight bit. He was back on course and feeling better, but the tangled path he ran through the woods to get to the Tea Party wore down all the energy he had acquired waiting for the ferry. So, when he did arrive, all he could do was stand up straight, announce the arrival of a message from the Queen of Hearts, and faint.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
The White Rabbit awoke with the familiar pain in his back that came from going into a dead faint whenever he stopped. He wasn't concerned though. If he woke up free, then he woke up safe. And right now, he woke up free. The next move was to figure out where he was. As he sat up, a tea cup crashed to the ground. Had it been one his face? He reached up to feel his mask and discovered a sticky, red substance.
He looked up at the sound of the Door Mouse's voice, "That'll be jam. Any time anyone passes out, Hatter puts jam on their nose and a tea cup over that. It's very strange, but who am I to question what he decides to do?"
Rabbit looked around. It was true, he was still at the Tea Party. Now that he had energy, he took a good look around. It was a very interesting place. There was a long table (he was currently sitting on it) in the middle of a fenced in clearing. The sun was shining down through the trees. Oddly enough, there was some very nice furniture that showed no weather damage, although it must have been hard to move. In and around the table were tea pots, tea cups, saucers, butter dishes, jam pots, milk saucers, and a variety of other tea accessaries.
The occupants he recognized because of his Queen, although he had never actually met them face to face. Sitting at the head was the Mad Hatter, infinite cigarette obscuring whatever of his face his hat did not. To his left, staring into a tea cup as if trying to divine the future, was the pathetic March Hare. So this was his little servant's cousin. No wonder she was always off taking care of him. At the other end of the table, hiding behind very dark sunglasses was the Door Mouse, currently passed out and tea cupped. What a strange assortment of creatures.
The gate to the Tea Party opened and in sauntered the infamous Cheshire Cat. He immediately went and jumped on the Mad Hatter, giving him a kiss that would make porn stars blush. Only after that obscenely biological display did he say something about the presence of the White Rabbit. And then, it was only a flippant remark about the little drifter being awake. The Hatter acknowledged this remark with a nod of his head. He then threw the metal cylinder used for messages at Rabbit.
"Your Queen's reply is here."
Rabbit picked it up and looked at his arm-ful of watches. Not a one of them was moving. His eyes went wide. "What time is it?" ‘My watches broke when I fell in the river' he continued in his head.
The Hatter was the first to laugh and eventually even the March Hare was chuckling. This noise had the same effect him as the ticking did. Except this could be stopped.
"SHUT UP!!" he screamed, clasping his hands over his ears. And they did stop. Not because of his command, but because the sound surprised them. They all stared at him as he sat there, panting.
"Now that you've all had a good laugh, what time is it?" The Cheshire Cat began to laugh again, but the Hatter hit him softly, and he stopped.
"There is nothing wrong with your watches. They are keeping perfect time. Insomuch as perfect time can be here." He tapped off the end of his cigarette into a blue tea cup. "How much have you heard about our little soiree?"
Rabbit just sat there in confused silence. "I thought so." Hatter continued, "Not many people seem to know what is actually going on here, save your Queen who couldn't tell you something in a straightforward manner if she tried."
Rabbit hesitated, "So what is really going on here?"
"Time. Has. Stopped."
If Rabbit had been without his mask, one would have seen the most befuddled look of confused amazement on his face. He sat very quietly, listening within. The Hatter was right, there was no time here. The ticking had completely stopped. The enormity of this slowly dawned on him. "So, if I leave right now, time will pick back up where it left off. No time has past outside?"
"In a manner of speaking. It's not quite that simple, but you get the point."
Rabbit let himself fall back to a laying position on the table. He whispered one word to himself, "free."
From then on, every moment he could get was spend at the Tea Party. It became his addiction. And who would wonder, what with it stopping the incessant ticking in his head. This also caused him to pick up with the Mad Hatter. Time spent there was dangerous. It was entwining. The absence of something measuring you was seductive. The Hatter added to this. He loved new toys, male or female, and would do anything to keep them there, especially because he himself couldn't leave. The White Rabbit was no exception.
