Chapter 4
Thomas surprisingly got through the forest. He shuddered and looked around. He saw a cottage up ahead.
"Is that it?" Thomas asked and walked closer. He saw someone sitting at a long table, talking to... jam jars? "Um... hello."
The person looked up with wide eyes. He stood up on his chair and walked across the table. He had a long blue coat that looked like it was floating, under it was a blue shirt and blue tie, blue-tinted glasses, a black hat with blue cards, black jeans, and black formal shoes. He stopped in front of Thomas and gazed down at him.
"Move." The person said. Thomas moved back and the person jumped down from the table. Thomas noticed that one of the cards on his hat said 'Crazy = Genius'.
"Are you the Mad Hatter...?" Thomas asked.
"Why, yes. Yes, I am." He bowed in a weird way. "You can call me Logan."
Logan stood up and Thomas realized just how tall he was.
"Wait, where's Patton? Isn't he supposed to be here?" Thomas asked.
"Patton? Yes, he is. Where could he have gone?" Logan then gasped. "Oh no, he still might be in the forest, unless he was taken by something... or eaten!"
Logan looked panicked and Thomas had no idea what to do.
"Sup?" Said a voice. They both turned and saw Virgil floating above them.
"Cheshire Cat, have you done something with Patton!?" Logan yelled at him.
"Woah, chill out, crazy man-"
"CrAzY? I am NOT crazy. What's crazy is that Patton was taken by something and we need to figure something out to save him!" Logan put his hands up to his face. "This is bad, very bad..."
"Well, you guys find him. I'm going to the castle." Virgil said.
"Wait, you're not coming along to find your friend!? How dare you!" Logan glared at Virgil. Virgil shrugged. "Come here, you little-"
Logan was about to punch Virgil, but Virgil vanished before he could.
"Missed me, Logan." Virgil's voice rang out throughout the area.
Logan clenched his fists and sighed. "Now how do we find Patton?"
"We could search in the castle he mentioned," Thomas said.
Logan gasped. "That's it! We'll go to the castle and find him! Let's go. Wait, I need to grab a snack before we go over there."
Thomas nodded and watched as Logan grabbed a few jars of jam and stuffed them into his hat. Thomas was in awe of how many jars Logan could fit in that hat.
"Alright, let's go." Logan put his hat on and Thomas wondered where all the jam went. Logan walked past Thomas. "Come on, slowpoke. I want to beat that nuisance to the castle."
"Oh, coming," Thomas said and followed Logan to the castle of hearts.
