Flying on the back of a Jabberwock was exhilarating, though scary. She couldn't believe it was actually happening. Forget seatbelts; nothing could tether them to the back of a dragon. But his waistcoat provided a soft cushioning against the rough scales, and the spikes at the base of his long serpentine neck were easy to hold tightly. April wouldn't have traded this moment for the world. Marchy sat behind her, arms wrapped around her waist. She was pretty sure his eyes were squeezed shut if his frequent whispered curses and death grip provided any indication.

And he'd lost his top hat shortly after they took flight. After a string of obscenities, and Reythor being more than willing to look for it, he had finally given up complaining so that he didn't spoil her day.

For a man so supposedly selfish, he focused on her needs more than his own. In her short time here, his loneliness enveloped him like a coat, yet he was far too proud to admit it. April found him considerate, kind, gorgeous, and obsessive-compulsive, but everyone had quirks. He just wore his more visibly than others, and that was okay. Maybe a bit endearing, when he wasn't in too foul of a mood. When he let himself be truly himself, though…she could easily lose her heart to the man, and she feared she might already be falling down that slippery slope. Love at first sight might not be a myth, and she was both scared and excited by what it could mean.

The one cloud on her happiness was that she might be sent home tonight. It still shocked her to think her boss really had been the former Red Queen, living in a castle for most of her life. But she'd tried to murder Cadence… Was banished! Matilda Scarlet had made it sound as though she'd chosen to leave on her own. Not that she had been forced out. It changed things, and probably not for the better.

So why then had she sent April here instead if she'd found a way back into Wonderland at all? Something wasn't right. She could feel it, but every time she tried to bring it up, she was interrupted. Marchy didn't want to discuss it in front of the Jabberwock, and she could kind of see his point. If Matilda had sent her here with ill intentions, the less people who knew about it until they figured out why, the better.

It didn't make any sense. Then again, it was Wonderland. Though not quite as nonsensical as the fiction, the reality still proved as whimsical and bizarre as one would dream.

As the black stone castle of the Red Kingdom came into view below, April pushed aside all her troubling thoughts. The guards and citizens in the gardens looked up at them, shielding their eyes to the sun. In the distance, the mountain range Marchy had called the Crimson Mountains were covered in waves of red flowers. The rocks appeared to be bleeding. Both eerie yet beautiful.
