Chapter 8: Hatter. The Endless Ball Of Energy!

(Pic above is lilly and hatter)

"Well then, we'll just have to take a few walks later, now won't we?" Hatter says teasingly. Lilly nodded slightly. "Yes, I suppose so." She says, for a moment, the happy facade fell, her features settling into a frown, "was it really such a good idea for her to be dropping her guard this easy?", She thought. She continued to muddle through the thoughts that came and went before forcing another smile.
Hatter grins happily as he skips beside her. "So where are we going??" He asks, sounding very excited yet very confused. Lilly shrugs. "Dunno, I'm just walking." She said with a slight laugh, Hatter chuckles softly as he stays close to her. "I see."
She glances up at him. "I imagine if anything is looking for me, it will come soon enough, for I'm not exactly hiding my presence..."
His face lights up. "You mean we might get to go up against more of those black monsters?!?!?!" He asks excitedly, Lilly blinks and looks up at him. "You mean you're excited for that?!" She asks. "You do realize you could die right?!" She asks once more.
Hatter's head becomes a blur, for he was nodding so fast. "Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!"
Lilly covered her eyes with her free hand, seeming to rub her temples. "What am I going to do with you?" She murmurs.
Hatter was now hopping up and down right next to her excitedly. His eyes sparkle with happiness and excitement. Lilly finally started to laugh slightly. "...How can you possibly have this much energy?Seriously, how?" She asks with a smirk, as she looks up at him.
He stops hopping just long enough to shrug his shoulders, then he was back to hopping excitedly.
Lilly shakes her head as she starts walking again. "....Well, regardless..." She suddenly stops again, looking around.
"What is it?" Asks Hatter, who stayed close by her side, scanning the area around them.

"I don't know....somethings just....off.." She says with a frown. Hatter's excitement fades as he sniffs the air, his body stiffens. "We shouldn't be here." He says in a low voice.
Lilly glances up at him. "Care to fill me in?" She commented as she looks around once more. He glances behind him. "We're still in wonderland...that much I do know..but...I..I honestly have no idea where we are in wonderland, for...I've never seen this part of wonderland before." He admits.
Lilly blinks a few times. Normally she would have suggested exploring, but if both of them were uneasy, then there was a problem.
"Let's go back the way we came then." She suggests. 
He nods. "Sounds like a plan." He turns around.

Lilly stands frozen for a few seconds before spinning around to follow him. "...Everything is crazy right now..." She murmurs.
"Hey, is it normal for one to not be able to get a read on this place?" She questions as she wraps her arm around His once more.
"Yep!" He answers as he looks around, keeping a close eye on everything. Lilly frowns. ".......I'm gonna loose it here...." She mumbles.

Now that she was nervous, she took on the demeanor of a scared child. And though she kept a stoic face, she twitched slightly at any noise.
They soon reach the spot where they had first arrived. Lilly let out an audible sigh. "....Let's go that way." She comments as she points to another path.
Hatter gives a slight nod as he turns and begins walking that way, staying close to Lilly as he does.

Lilly glances around, still not able to shake the uneasy feeling. Hatter stops, his body stiffens. "...You feel that???" He asks softly. Lilly nods. "...Yes..." She whispers.
"Whatever it is....it's close." He mumbles.
An insane grin appears on his face. Lilly let go of him, putting a hand to her sword. "And I don't think it's friendly..." She murmurs.
