Ruby's POV

( the mad hatter in this story is based off the one Johnny depp play because I like it, not the one in OUAT....)

Ruby's POV

The Mad Hatter lifted me on to the edge of his hat and started walking.

"So let me get this straight your taking me to the Underland Queen the White Queen?" I questioned.

"Yes-yes-yes-yes-yes, we are, she will turn you back to girl size first, then we'll ask about getting you back to Wonderland and lifting the curse." he assured me.

"Um, just wondering.... why are you in Underland, why did they reject you?"

"I was always against Cora during her reign and the girl Will Scarlett was talking about... Anastasia she was my cousin. When I heard Cora was training her to be the next Queen of Wonderland, I just couldn't stand the thought of my favorite cousin being trained by that witch. So one day I snuck into the palace garden and tried to get her to talk to me, but she acted like she didn't know me. However she wasn't acting, she didn't know me at all and that's when I knew Cora did something to her. The guards took me away and the royal court branded me mad when I wasn't, they sent me down here and I guess I did get a little delusional down here, who wouldn't? As the years past I tried everything to go back up and save Ana, but then I heard that she died and I just stopped. And I always knew it wasn't your mothers fault, I've met Regina before all the Evil Queen stuff and she wouldn't hurt a fly, she was only projecting what her mother wanted."

"Wow, wait, why hasn't the White Queen done anything? She after all was Queen." I asked

"She grew weak over the years she's been condemned down here but she is getting her strength back day-by-day."

"Ok, so how far is the White Queens castle?"

"About a day's journey, but it might take a little longer."

"Why's that?"

"You see stuff down here really messes with your head, exhibit A me. I'm pretty sure that teapot is spreading lies about me."

"But it's a teapot"

"You see, just don't trust your eyes, trust your instincts and you'll know what to do."

We walked on for the next hour, I laid down on the rim of the hat and looked up to the sky.

"Hey, Hatter I have a question."

"What?"

"Why is the moon smiling at me?"
