Chapter 2: Down The Bunny Hole!

With Lilly close in one arm, Hatter opens his black long coat and pulls out a small snow globe, he shakes it and then throws it at the ground in front of them, a huge portal appears and then disappears, in its place was a red door. Lilly's eyes widened and she let out a surprised squeak at suddenly being whisked off her feet, though she didn't fight being in that position, she had started to tremble. Hatter didn't seem to notice her reaction to him picking her up, he just carried her right through the door, which opened to what looked like the entrance to a rabbit hole.
Lilly looked around curiously finally getting the better of her, she was still quiet, though, and her condition seemed to slowly be getting worse. "I hope you don't mind falling," he says just before he jumps into the hole, since the hole was a bit small, it forced Lilly against Hatter, who held her close. Lilly yelped slightly and buried her face into his chest, she wasn't one for small spaces or an uncontrolled fall, said fall lasted a total of 3 minutes, but felt like forever, they soon come to a stop, Hatter lets Lilly go just as they reach the bottom, leaving her unharmed on the dirt floor, but Hatter goes flying right over her head, he lands a few feet in front of her, stopped by a dirt wall. Lilly staggered a bit before slumping into a sitting position, this was starting to be too much for her, as she glanced up at the Hatter she seemed about ready to either faint or cry.
Hatter groans in pain, for the front of his body, had hit the wall, face and all, his body falls down to the dirt floor with a thud, he sits up a bit and wipes the dirt from his face, he then sits up fully. "Graceful landing...." Lilly murmured as she pulled her knees in against her chest. "are you alright?" she asks Hatter, she looked genuinely concerned, Hatter looks over at her. "I'm fine....but we need to get you to bunny and quickly before your wounds get any worse." He says urgently, he rushes over and gently lifts her up into his arms again. She made little to protest, knowing that what he said was true, however, she did feel embarrassed by the situation, which caused her cheeks to redden slightly. "...I suppose your right...." she muttered, Hatter smiles happily as he turns and carries her down a long hallway that was fitted with drywall, and was painted a light blue, lit by a long row of warm lamps, classical music could soon be heard as they made they're way down the hallway, they soon enter a well-lit room that was nicely furnished. Lilly looked around, this place seemed to just keep getting weirder and weirder to her by the second, but then, who was she to complain, her world was often just as weird to those who didn't understand it.
Hatter gently sets her down on a nice Victorian style couch. "stay here for a moment, I'll go get bunny." he says before he turns and rushes out of the room, down another hall to find bunny, before he left, Lilly had given him a nod, she didn't want to argue with the person helping her, though she did lay back, closing her eyes, she nearly passed out from the pain. After about 5 minutes Hatter returns with a rather short male with short shaggy white hair and two long white rabbit ears and big blue eye. Lilly opened her eyes a crack, not enough for it to look like she was watching them, but enough for her to glance over and examine the new figure, without seeming to. The smaller male slowly makes his way over to her, he shivers slightly. "Can you tell how she got hurt?" Hatter asks, sounding very concerned. "well .......it seems that when she passed into our dimension she ummm.....she got splinched." Lilly smirked slightly. "Not one of my better landings." she murmured, her eyes close again, she seemed well attuned. "Though I hadn't intended on coming here." The small male jumps back ten feet. "Ahhh!! she's awake?!" Hatter quickly walks over, once the male had calmed back down he asked. "can you help her?" he sits down at the other end of the couch. "W-Well I suppose I could." the small male says softly, Lilly opened her eyes. "I promise I don't bite.....not much anyways," she says softly, the smirk still on her face, using that as a means to cover how confused and scared she was. The small male takes a few shaky steps closer, he gulps as he slowly kneels down and pulls a first aid kit out from under the couch, without hesitating she pulled her shirt up around the wound. To most, it would look like a horrifying stab wound, to Lilly it was just another scar that came with a story. Lilly looked over at the male once more, she smiles kindly. "If you would prefer, I can tend to the wound myself." he shivers slightly. "n-no it's fine.....I can do it." he says as he pulls out a clean rag and a small bottle of alcohol. Lilly watched carefully, biting on her lip, she already knew what to expect, but it still made her insanely nervous. "Th-This is gonna hurt...." he says softly before he douses the cloth in alcohol and then gently presses it against her wound. Instantly a look of pain flashed across her face as she recoiled slightly, a sharp hiss escaped from her as she continued to wince. "No sh#*t Sherlock..." she mumbled, he shrinks back a little at the harsh words, Hatter looked a bit fearful as he watched. "I-I'm sorry." The one known as Bunny says fearfully, Lilly managed a wry grin. "It's okay.....if anything I should be the one apologizing." 
He shakes his head slightly. "I-It's alright, at least you don't freak out, unlike someone I know....who also cries like a baby," he says as he glances over at Hatterwho was currently messing with a weird looking cuckoo clock, Lilly snickered. "Sadly I've used to this....oh the stories I hold behind all my scars...." she says as she glanced over at her left hand, looking at the scar that went across the palm. Hatter turns and scowls at the male, he must have heard what bunny had said about him, bunny, of course, ignores his scowl as he pulls out a small burner/torch to heat up a sewing needle.
Lilly started to chatter away about stitching and then about bandages if she noticed his scowl she ignored it, finally though she did look over at him, wondering if he was okay.
Hatter was now huddled up on the couch, covering his head, as if he didn't want to watch bunny fix her, Lilly smirks lightly, the mindless small talk took away the thought of the needle, which made her nervous. "Okay, now to stitch it up." bunny says as he takes the needle away from the fire, he prepares to begin sewing her up, there was a twinge of fear that crossed her face as she looks away. A soft gentle hand envelopes around her hands as the needles goes in.
