Chapter 4 - Ella

While Alice was flattering the Red Queen, Ella rushed outside to find Bayard, a bloodhound who supports the White Queen. After searching for a while, a man stopped her. He looked a lot like Kit who was a good person. The White Queen has shown her drawings of him, but she knew he had an evil twin who happened to be the Knave of Hearts.

"Are you Kit or Stayne?" asked Ella.

"I am Andre Fi. And you are?" said the man.

She knew he was Kit because the White Queen said that he would use anagrams whenever he would meet people for the first time. Andre Fi is an anagram for a friend.

"I'm Izzy," smiled Ella, "It's nice meeting you, Kit."

"Mirana told me the plan. Bayard does not know where the sword is. Come on," ordered Kit as he grabbed Ella's wrist and led her to the Bandersnatch's shack. Upon reaching there, Ella went inside the door and saw a chest next to a stack of hay. 

Unfortunately, the Bandersnatch was awake. It started to injure Ella, but stopped when she showed its missing eye. She put the eye back in its eye opening and the Bandersnatch grinned at her. It gestured to its collar which held the key to the chest. She took the key, unlocked the box, and took the sword. She thanked the Bandersnatch before leaving. Alice ran towards Ella and they were getting ready to go.

But then the clock struck midnight.

Frabjous day had begun.

The girls' disguises wore off.

And the plan failed.

"Release the Jabberwocky!" demanded the Red Queen as she stood beside the shack. She happened to glance at the people nearby.

"Alice and Ella?!?! DESTROY THEM!!" screamed the Red Queen as her followers got ready with weapons, causing the girls and Kit to be terrified.

"Stop," someone (or something) bellowed. The Jabberwocky came out and faced Alice and Ella. It glared at the Vorpal Sword and at the girls.

"I want to fight my enemies for the last time," hissed the creature.

"Do the best you can," dared Ella.
