The Red Queen was in her garden playing her favorite sport through out Wonderland. A few of her subjects watch her holding the flamingo in both of her hands, ready to hit the hedgehog as her ball. Before she could begin her game, her guards came into the garden with some news about The Knave of Hearts.

"Any news about Stayne?"

Her guards nodded yes to their queen. She was happy that there was news about her Knave. All these years of waiting for him, and now her waiting was over.

"So, where is he?" She asked like a young child.

The guards hoped this information would save their heads or avoid her rage at least. Her rage seem out of uncontrolled then it used to be."We weren't able to capture him. He wasn't alone."

The Red Queen's face change when they told her. He must have gone to her sister to be come her Knave. Stayne was her and always will be in her mind. Her guards raised waiting for their orders. She wanted Stayne alive.

"When you find him, bring him here and also bring whose ever with him."

Night had fallen once more upon over Wonderland. Puppet was worried for The Knave of Hearts, the way he was acting early scared her a little. She was confused what happen today. She wanted to ask him about his past. But, the way he reacted early had her mind wondered.

"Stayne? Were you a knight for a long time?"

Stayne's heart suddenly stop in his tracks. Memories flowed back once more. He could hear the cries of women and children crying for help. The scenes of the dead bodies he had killed by his own hands. His heart was frozen back then, afraid of The Red Queen. He remember fighting The Mad Hatter, he could see the hatred in his eyes. At that moment, Stayne could see his sins. Everything he have done to Wonderland, he was ready to die for his crimes. But, he didn't understand why The Hatter did not kill him then. He was ready to die then.

"I wasn't…till now."

He told her in a whisper. His voice was breaking in two, he didn't want to revile his past to her. She was so young, full of life. His heart was different when it came to her. Was he falling in love with a child? He never felt this way before. This was the child of Alice. His heart would stand still when he look a upon her. Forgetting he was alive, forgetting the pain upon his body through out his body.

"A likely story."

The Dormouse's voice cause Stayne to stop in fear. Memories flowed back inside of his mind.

Stayne lay on the floor of his cell. Waiting for his death to come, waiting for his life to end. The guards would drag him out of his cell, each day he would be kicked till he lost concussions, wipe against his back, stabbed till he screamed in pain. He was forgetting what the sunlight felt against his skin, the smell of fresh air from the forest of Wonderland. All he can remember now is pain. He heard the sound of The Red Queen's step coming for his cell. He try moving his body to the corner of his cell. The stream of pain stop him in his tracks.

"So Stayne, are you ready to be my Knave again."

He gave no answer to her. He wondered from time to time, what was she waiting for. He would never be her knight again, not even in death will he ever be. The door of his cell opened and a guard slammed him against the wall, causing his back to break once again, only this time, the guard twisted his arm till the bone was broken.

"You know that poem about you Stayne. How The Knave of Hearts stole my tarts." She bent down to his leave, while he was gasping for air before he lose concussions once more. "One of those, was my heart."

All of his cells stood still when he felt her breath. She was still in love with him. Stayne lost concussion while those words disappeared in the darkness.

"Stayne? Stayne?"

He could hear Puppet's voice from behind. He felt the cold air begin to blow from behind as well. The Dormouse was vary confused why The Knave stopped in the middle of his tracks. She noticed how he turn pale as ghost.

"I'm fine…"

Puppet jumped off the horse's back and place her hand against his. Stayne felt the warmth, it was like the sun's warmth. Puppet look at him for a few moments. She knew everyone in Wonderland did not age till the reach an age where time stop forever. She knew she was aging for a short period till her clock stopped forever.

"If you say you're fine, then why do you look pale as cloud?"

Stayne walked over to the nearest tree and sat against it. Puppet sat across from him with her legs across with her dress hiding her bare feet. Stayne didn't understand why a child cared so much for him. She had the same face as Alice, her eyes changed colors like The Mad Hatter, she was caring almost like The White Queen.

When he turn his head to look at her, he found her laying against his side. The Dormouse became uneasy, but her thoughts wonder. The Knave did not attack them, he protected them from The Red Queen's knights. She still did not trust Stayne, she was feared that her beloved friend's daughter would be hurt because him.
