It was just a job.

No attachments.

No reservations.

It was just a job.

I hadn’t planned on him being there, or the way that he would frustrate me down to my bones. I didn’t want to love him, but I did. I loved the way he didn’t look at me in fear when he saw my powers. I loved the way he didn’t treat me like a porcelain doll meant to sit on a shelf until she was needed. I loved the way he loved me - not my powers. Now, we’re stuck. Knee deep in this dangerous life, and the only thing holding us afloat is each other. We tried to keep our heads down, but neither of us have ever been good at self preservation. Loving him changed everything.

Leiella had grown up in Wonderland, a child of royals within the Queen of Hearts’ court. She had always seemed out of step with castle life, which was factor that would lead to her having to flee the Court for her own safety. It had been back when she was younger, leaving her without family or protection. It would be Jefferson that took her in, giving her a job helping with his hats. Eventually, she would find somewhere to stay, settling into the Enchanted Forest for a life of her own. But...all good stories come to an end. All dreamers wake up. Now, Leiella climbed out of bed, readying herself for the day. She was still young, an orphan in the care of the nuns, but she made the best of her life. At least, she tried. Running into Henry Mills one day would change her story, her tale, and she would learn that sometimes, dreams do come true.

“I didn’t want to be saved. I didn’t think I needed saving. Neither did she. My Angel of Darkness. She came into my life like a storm blowing in from the sea, rolling over the mountains with a speed and force which made it impossible to ignore. Nor, could I escape her path. Not that I wanted to do that. I can’t begin to explain how it felt to miss someone so much, someone you had never met before in that life, but she’s why I know what that feels like. She’s why I know what’s it’s like to find home in a person, because no place had ever made me feel as safe as she did.”

“He carried the weight of the world chained to him. A guilt about his past actions. A regret of his choices. A punishment of his own making. It was like looking in a mirror when I met him for the first time, because I had to face my own self inflicted punishment. Our lives had handed us cards that left us weak, exposed. Yes, we fought, but you can only fight so long when you don’t have everything you need to survive. He had been sent to question me, to use me for information about the Unseelie Camp I was stationed at, but Fate, it seemed, had different plans.

For the first time in all my life, I wasn’t cursing fate for turning my world upside down, because my chains were not the only ones broken.”

Tick tock. Tick Tock.

Oh, little bat, where are you at?

The hatter scrambled about her loft, working on the final details for that evening. Cupcakes were cooling. Frosting was made. Cookies were already done. Tea was steeping. Some soup she had managed to throw together was simmering away on the stove. Now, she busied herself with the final decorations. The pretty lights and bright colors of Christmas ornaments had been one part of the oyster world she had loved so much that she brought it back to Wonderland with her. Night had fallen over the broken landscape below her loft’s windows in the top of the White Rabbit building.

Tick tock. Tick Tock.

She pulled her fob watch from the pocket nestled just inside of her coat. A push of the button at the top caused the face to flip over, revealing the time. It was at that moment, she looked up, waiting to see if the elevator doors opened.

Nothing.

Five more minutes.

Ding.

“You’re late...but you’re here,” she smiled, running to wrap her arms around the March Hare’s waist. “Happy Christmas!”

“I had been ignorant when I trusted the Angel that day. Guard him and his love? Yes, I could do that. Guard his daughter? I could do that, too. Guard other parts of the compound? That was easy enough. Sometimes, too easy means trouble. The Angel was trouble. But that trouble put me in her orbit. Bevin. It’s how I saw her the first time. It’s how I came to know her and Neri. It’s how I came to met Daze. They were my silver lining. They were the light in the darkness. They were the hope at the bottom of the box. Bevin, however, was a piece of me that I hadn’t known had been lost. A piece of me that I had the devil to thank for bringing into my life. A piece of me that I would fight until the end of time to protect.”

“One of my best friends. She had always been in my life, much like Daziel. Crazy kids forced into a world far too dark for them. How would our lives had been different if we had been born earlier? I had never seen her in the light of someone to love - a love deeper than that of friends. A love that fueled part of my being. A love that had been nearly stomped out by the man that held the key to my gilded cage. If Daziel had given me my strength back, she had give me my sanity.

She was always good enough for me. No matter what her father whispered under his breath. He was too blinded by the fog of darkness to see her bright light. A light that would even follow us all down to Hell, keeping us alive.”

“He took me.

Claimed me.

A jewel to sit upon his throne.

A weapon to defend his kingdom.

A reminder to all those who looked upon me that he was not to be crossed.

Some believe that I never had a choice. Maybe they are right, but by staying, I keep others safe. It’s not black or white. He was not always this way. He is a victim to the corruption like we all have been. That doesn’t excuse him from his crimes; nor does his kidnapping of me absolve me of mine. I earned my place in Hell among the demons and darkness if for no other reason that to hold the hand of the creature at the center of all, to to keep him a single step behind those that fight to save our world.”

“Love and War.

Two sides of the same coin.

Two complex terms that could never be easily explained.

Two themes that would forever dominate my life with him.

We had been children together. Born within weeks of each other. Raised together with all the others. We even shared powers, which made us understand the other with ease. I was blessed with ignorance, but he wasn’t. Or so I thought back then. War would rip our lives apart, nearly severing our connection, but love is resilient, especially in the face of hardship.

Love was far more powerful than either of us had realized. Not until that afternoon when I smarted off to him for the millionth time. A dance. A battle of words. A war of the heart.

And for the first time since our youth, we both laid down our weapons.”
