Chapter 6
When Tempest woke the next morning she immediately went to work on making some clothing. By the time she had a few outfits made someone knocked on her door. She stood, stretched and answered the door. A maid pushed in a silver cart that had something that smelled wonderful on it. Her stomach let out a loud grumble. The maid turned with a soft chuckle then placed the tray from the cart on the vanity.
"It seems I arrived at the right time." The maid smiled at Tempest. "His Highness thought you might like some breakfast."
"Thank you." Temp took a deep breath and sighed. "It smells wonderful."
"When you're finished just leave the tray outside the door." The maid bowed and headed to the door. "Oh and Lord Hightopp has asked me to inform you that he will be waiting for you in the main hall when you're finished."
"Oh, thank you." Tempest looked back at her with a grin. "Would you mind telling him I'll be down soon?"
"Of course, have a nice breakfast." The maid bowed again then left, chuckling as she went.
Tempest ate the breakfast quickly, enjoying the new tastes of Underland food. When she was finished she placed the dishes back on the tray and carried it to the door, ready to start her day. Just as she was about to leave she realized she was still in the oversized shirt she'd slept in. Blushing, she quickly pulled on the pair of trousers she'd just mended and the loose blouse with her strapless corset under it.
She braided her hair as she made her way through the large palace. Everything seemed to be in a happier mood. Everyone she passed was humming or giggling. It seemed that with her here they had hoped that Alice would be their Champion again. Disappointment had her looking down at her feet.
"Tempest!" Hatter called when she walked into the entry way.
She looked up and beamed at him. "Good morning father."
"'Tis a lovely morning. I trust you slept well?" He pulled her in for a hug.
"I did. And you?" She returned his hug.
"Yes, yes, best in years." And he looked it too. The dark circles under his eyes had lightened a few shades and his skin wasn't as pale (still light but not grey). "I was thinking that you should have a tour of Marmoreal. Since you didn't receive one yesterday. And this place can get quiet confusing. Not that you easily get confused, but many do… not say that you're like many, obviously you're not…"
"Hatter!" Tempest called softly, remembering how her mother got him out of his rants. "Dad."
Tarrant blinked a few times. "I'm fine." He gasped then smiled at her. "Thank you."
She chuckled. "I was going to ask about a tour and you read my mind."
This time he laughed and held out his hand. "Come we'll start at the gardens."
Still smiling Tempest let her father show her around. First he took her to the maze, telling her she needed to find her way around it first. Next was the entire castle. He took great pride in showing her the armory, where Alice's armor still stood with the Vorpal sword. But when they were moving down the corridor where his rooms were, he paused outside the room across from his. The door had been painted a pale blue and had a golden plaque nailed to it. Written in an elegant scrawl was simply Alice.
"Mirana left this room alone after that day." Tarrant explained placing his palm against the door. "I… I painted the door and I clean it every once in a while. I didn't want anyone else in here."
"I understand." Tempest also put her hand on the door. "When you gave mom your hat she did everything to keep it in the best shape. She used to never let me touch it. Everything you gave her she holds with great value. Especially that bracelet."
"Bracelet." He spoke in a wistful voice. Hand going to his chest.
"Yep, the one you gave her with the three charms. She never takes it off." Tempest looked at him with sadness.
"And I never take this off." He produced the sparrow necklace, tenderly running his thumb over it. After a long moment of silence he replaced the necklace under his shirt and stepped back from the door. "Come I still must show you the back court yard and the training area."
Tempest nodded and followed him out of the castle. They got four steps outside before a young knight came up to them. He began to inquire about some plans and Tarrant answered. It didn't take long for Tempest to become bored and start looking around. When her eyes landed on the large stables her curiosity got the better of her. Before she realized it she had walked halfway to the white building. Pausing she looked back to see her father still talking with the knight. With a shrug she continued to the stables. Hatter would find her when he was done.
She looked around the doorway and, when she found it empty, walked in. The place was huge. On each side there were at least twenty stables, some with horses, but most were empty. What captured her attention was the large set of slightly open double doors that made up most of the opposite wall. At least a full stall's length stood between the doors and the last stalls. Cocking her head and raising an eyebrow she gently opened the doors. If she thought the main stable was huge, this room was gigantic. The ceiling stood probably twelve feet high and twenty feet wide. A large cot of many blankets sat against one wall with a large water bowl beside it. Another bowl sat next to the water bowl, bones sticking over the edge.
Moving up to the cot, Temp noticed that the doors across from it were open. Whatever stayed there was gone for now. Still frowning she bent to inspect the food bowl. Scrunching her nose she picked up one of the bones that still had meat one it.
"Must be some type of large dog." She shrugged and replaced the bone. Suddenly a shot of warm, musky air hit her back. She froze for a moment before slowly turning. Her scream stuck in her throat as she fell back, coming face to face with the Bandersnatch.
The gigantic dog-like creature sniffed her, pulled back slightly, and then sniffed again. This time he let out a low growl and leaned closer. Fear coiled inside Tempest causing her to slowly scoot away from the creature. Only problem, he followed her. She ended up crawling onto the cot before her back bumped into the wall. The Bandersnatch slowly lowered its squished face closer to her. He opened his mouth, revealing his shark like teeth. This time when she opened her mouth her scream broke through.

Alaric had just finished his morning meeting and was glad to be able to get outside. All he could think about was Tempest. He hadn't even known her for a day and she was plaguing his thoughts. There was just something about her that called to him. And the look in her eyes when they had said good night didn't help either.
With a deep sigh he descended the short steps that lead to the back court yard. Instantly he felt himself looking for the redhead beauty. When he didn't find her he headed towards Hatter, who was talking with one of the knight. He waited until the knight left before speaking.
"Good morning, Tarrant." He gave the man a friendly smile.
"Ah, Alaric!" Tarrant exclaimed. "It is a lovely morning, no?"
"It is." Alaric nodded.
"Are you ready for some training?" Hatter clapped his hands together.
"Always am. By the way, where's Tempest?" Again Alaric looked around. No sign of her.
"Huh?" Tarrant also looked around placing his hands on his hips. "She was right here. Must have wondered off, she's so much like her mother."
Before Alaric could respond a scream pierced the quiet of the morning. He looked to the barn where the sound came from, then back at Hatter. Both their eyes were large with fear. They whispered at the same time. "Tempest."
Then they were running off to find her. They burst through the stable's doors, startling the horses, a few knights behind them. The doors at the far wall that lead to the Bandersnatch's area were slightly open and they could see the end of the creature's tail twitching around.
"No… stop…" Tempest's gasped words had the two running faster. Alaric reached the doors first, nearly smashing into the doors as he threw them open, Hatter right on his heels. When they entered the large area, both nearly fell at what they saw. Alaric skidded to a stop, biting his lip.
Tempest was half propped on the wall and half on the large cot, twisting around as the Bandersnatch licked her. She was covering her face, laughter bubbling out of her, as she tried to push the large animal away. The Bandersnatch was growling/purring as it nuzzled up to the redhead, running his large tongue over her face. She began to squirm her way put a bit but the creature wouldn't let her go.
"St-stop!" She gasped, trying to push him away. "Please…. Haha…"
Alaric couldn't stop himself, his laughter bubbled out of him followed by Hatter's and the knights'. While some believed the Bandersnatch was a ruthless creature, they were wrong. He was exactly like an overgrown puppy, playful and sweet.
"H-help…" Temp finally gasped.
Still chuckling, the prince went to help the gasping woman. He placed his hand on the creature's shoulder and patted him. "Come on, Bandy. Let her breathe."
The Bandersnatch growled but pulled back. He turned and gave the prince a long lick before laying flat on its belly, tail wagging like crazy. Alaric grumbled and wiped at the drool. He turned to Tempest, who was still on the ground chuckling.
"You alright?" He held out his hand for her.
""Hehe… yeah." She began to wipe at her face. "I think… heh… I need another bath." Tears were still leaking from her eyes.
Alaric took in her slightly wet appearance and gulped. Once again she took his breath away. Though she was covered in Bandersnatch drool, she was glowing with happiness. Her cheeks were a little flushed and her eyes were a little red. Her chest was rising and falling as she tried to catch her breath. Gods, she was even more beautiful when she smiled, she was radiant.
"What happened?" Tarrant asked, also wiping away the few tears that leaked free.
"Um, while you were talking my curiosity got the better of me." She was still chuckling. "I wandered into the stables and saw the double doors cracked open. I walked in without thinking and saw the huge stuff. When I was looking at the food bowl the Bandersnatch came in and scared me." She patted the large creatures head.
"He tends to do that." Alaric sighed and also petted the beast. "Come on, there's a fountain around back you can use to wash off with."
"That would be niche." Temp gave one more chuckle and followed the prince.
After they had both washed their faces Tempest sat on the fountain. Looking back at the barn she saw the Bandersnatch lounging in the summer sun. She noticed that the fur was grayer then she imagined and covered in what looked like ash.
"Alaric?" She called.
"Yeah?"
"Why is the Bandersnatch covered in ash?" She looked up at him with a frown.
Alaric returned her frown then looked to the Bandersnatch. He sighed before answering. "Since the Bandersnatch is stronger than most creatures in Underland we've been sending him out to help look for any survivors from the Fire."
"And he just got back?" She filled in the rest.
"Yeah," his sigh was full of sadness.
She continued to stare at the large creature, not wanting to hurt Alaric by asking if there were survivors. "All that ash can't be good for him." She mused, placing her hand in the fountain. She looked at the water then the Bandersnatch, an idea clicking in her head. "Perhaps he deserves a bath."
"What?" Alaric raised an eyebrow ate her.
"The Bandersnatch." She pointed. "You're out here to train right? Well, I'm going to clean all that ash off of him. Make him feel better."
"Huh, that's a good idea. We've been so busy that he hasn't gotten a good bath in a long time. And he does love his baths." Alaric laughed at the memories.
"Good, so you and dad can train and I'll clean him." She grinned up at the prince.
"Come on, let's get you some supplies."
She nodded and followed him.

"Bandy!" Tempest yelled laughingly. She held up her hands to shield herself from the flying sudsy water as the Bandersnatch shook himself. He just purred and settled back down. She wiped off the suds from her face, fixing the beast with an amused look. "You keep doing that and we'll be at this all day."
She laughed when he shook himself again. This time she took the brush and went back to washing him. So far she'd been able to remove most of the ash, but as she started washing his head, Bandy kept shaking off the water. At least he was just goofing around.
Many yards away she heard someone shout and a loud clang of metal. Curiously she looked around the large creature to the training yard. Alaric was currently hacking away at a young knight. The poor man was barely able to defend himself from the powerful thrusts of the prince's sword.
Temp couldn't help but watch Alaric. The way his muscular chest and arms flexed as he swung whatever weapon he held was hypnotizing. The muscles bulged and relaxed with each movement, sweat slicked skin glistening in the sun light. He danced around on the balls of his feet, moving in the time old warrior's dance. His handsome face was drawn down in concentration, distracted by nothing yet taking in everything. He was a well-trained and honed warrior.
And she wanted to test his skills. Part of her wanted to pick up one of the practice swords and jump in the ring with him at seeing him like that. The other part, however, wanted to do less proper things. Some included silk sheets, bare skin, and a lot of cake icing.
"I know that look." Castiel chuckled from behind her, causing her to jump.
"Castiel!" Tempest covered her heart with her hand. "Don't do that!"
"Can't help it, too much fun." The floating cat chuckled. "You were just standing there with such a goofy look."
"I was not." Temp argued and went back to washing the Bandersnatch.
"Oh, yes you where." Castiel taunted. "I bet I know what you were thinking."
Temp blushed, looking away from the cat. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"I'm talking about our White Prince over there being shirtless. No doubt causing some inappropriate thoughts to form." Castiel floated around to look at Temp's face. She laughed at the very dark blush covering the woman. "I am right."
"Oh shut up!" Tempest hissed, throwing a brush at her. Castiel disappeared in a puff of smoke, reforming on the other side of her. "What do you want?" Temp demanded.
"I've been watching you two most of the morning." She said lazily.
"So?"
"Well, I thought I'd let you in on a secret."
Temp raised an eyebrow at her. "What are you talking about?"
"All those males over there." The cat pointed to the sparing ring with her tail. "And the fact that they seem unable to take their eyes off you."
"What?" Temp stopped washing the Bandersnatch and fully looked at Castiel.
"Just look, inconspicuously."
Tempest shrugged and walked around the Bandersnatch, keeping her head down. As she bent to pick up the water bucket, she looked at the training area from under her lashes. Sure enough many of the knights were looking at her. Including the Tweedles. When she picked up the buckets she saw Alaric turn and focus on her then the knights before shouting at them. The knights whipped around to focus on him.
Tempest had to bite her tongue to keep from laughing as she walked back around the Bandersnatch. "So that's what all the shouting was about."
"Told you." Castiel chuckled.
"Why do they keep staring?" Temp asked, dumping some water over the Bandersnatch.
"Perhaps it's because you're dressed in short trousers and a revealing corset."
"Well, it's hot and this big guy got my shirt soaked." She defended herself.
"Sure, that's all." Cas rolled her eyes, her grin growing. "It has nothing to do with the hot prince training within view."
"You…" Tempest was annoyed and embarrassed by her comments. She looked down and picked up the water bucket. With a grin of her own she dumped the bucket on the laughing cat.
Castiel gave a loud 'mreow' and hissed. "What'd you do that for?"
"You were making fun of me, now you're all wet."
Cas narrowed her eyes and disappeared. She reappeared Temp and dumped the bucket she held. Tempest cried out and spun on the cat. "Now you're all wet."
"Why you-" before she could finish the Bandersnatch stood and shook himself. Both Temp and Cas screeched, trying to protect themselves before splashing the water at each other and the Bandersnatch.
Alaric heard the loud 'mreow' from Castiel then the cry from Tempest a minute later. He watched the Bandersnatch rise and shake, heard the two screech before they ran out from behind the beast, both soaked. He couldn't take his eyes off of the display as they splashed each other. They were laughing and trying to dodge the Bandersnatch's water. He watched as Castiel dumped a bucket of water on the red-haired woman. Her response was to grab the cat and dunk her in the fountain.
"What is going on?" Tarrant chuckled behind him.
"Your daughter seems to have started a water fight with Cas and the Bandersnatch."
"Apparently." Hatter grinned as he looked at the knights. "And it appears you've lost your audience."
"What?" Alaric blinked and looked at him. When Hatter pointed to the soldiers he groaned. Every single one of them was staring at Tempest as she splashed water from the fountain at the Bandersnatch. He had to admit she was breathtaking but still! She was taking his army from their training.
He groaned and let out a low whistle, the knights turned instantly at the sound. Tempest, Castiel and the Bandersnatch even stopped. "Since you all find my demonstration so uninteresting I suggest you go about your daily business. Dismissed."
The knights stood and bowed before leaving, most watching Tempest as they went. Alaric groaned again, causing Hatter to laugh. He looked at the older man. "Why do you find this so funny? Shouldn't you be knocking their heads in for watching her, like an over protective father?"
"I could but what's the fun in that?" Hatter shrugged. "I'd rather see what she can do. Something tells me she doesn't need anyone protecting her. But if anyone tries to touch my daughter, I'll kill 'em." The mad man's eyes turned an angry orange at his warning.
"Hey!' Tempest called out and the two turned to face her. She was shielding herself as the Bandersnatch shook himself. "Ok, ok you win."
The creature growled and licked her. Shaking his hand Alaric walked up to the three, Hatter behind him. When they were close enough the Bandersnatch shook himself again, slightly getting them wet.
"Great, just what I needed, a Bandersnatch shower." Alaric groaned, wiping at the water.
"Well at least you're not soaked." Castiel grumbled, licking at the water. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go lay in the sun." With that she smoked out. The Bandersnatch followed her, moving to lay in a particularly sunny spot.
"Why don't you go dry off, Tempest." Hatter grinned at her. "I'll pick everything up."
"Good idea." Temp grabbed her hair and wrung it out before tossing it over her shoulder. "Thanks."
Alaric couldn't help but watch her as she tried to squeeze as much water off of her as she could. He was captivated by her beauty again. Of course she was beautiful, exotic even, but why was he affected so much? No one had ever captured his attention like she did. And it wasn't just her looks that did it, but her musical voice and defiant attitude. She was like a walking contradiction.
"What's on the agenda for today?" Tempest asked smiling at Hatter and Alaric, water still dripping down her face.
The breath caught in Alaric's lungs as he followed one of the drops down the side of her face, over the column of her neck and down the valley between her breasts. He could just imagine the trail moving along the smooth, pale skin of her flat stomach, and then it would continue down to her core. He squeezed his eyes at that thought, he didn't need to imagine water trailing over her naked body.
"Well," Hatter's voice thankfully pulled Alaric away from his very naughty imagination. "What do you want to do?"
"Um…" she perused her lips, once again wringing out her clothing. "I have no idea."
"Hatter, why not take her to your house?" Alaric suggested.
Tarrant froze, eyes staring off into the distance, focusing on nothing. The hat maker all but became a statue, barely breathing.
"Dad?" Tempest called softly.
Alaric let out a soft curse. "I'm sorry, Tarrant. I shouldn't have mentioned it."
"The house?" Tempest turned to him. "The one he made for mom?"
Alaric nodded. "Yeah, he won't live there but he cleans it every few weeks. He says it holds to many memories."
Tempest nodded and turned to Hatter. Gently she touched his arm and called his name. He blinked and looked at her. She gave a small, sad smile. "Mother told me about the house you built. I would love to see it, if you don't mind."
Tarrant stared at her for a moment before nodding. "Yes," his voice was hushed. "Yes, of course."
"If you don't want to go-" He cut her off.
"No, I need to go back." He shook his head forcefully. "I want to show you what was supposed to be our home." He grinned at her, revealing his gapped teeth.
"If you're sure." She grinned back.
"Yes, yes." He nodded vigorously. "But first you must go change."
"Oh," Temp looked down at herself. "Almost forgot."
All three of them laughed before heading back up to the castle.
