((Idril...I edited my last post...I logged off last night before realizing that there was something else I wanted to say...))
Izzy didn't want to say goodbyes but as she opened her eyes and saw Death, she knew it had to be time. She moved so that she was in a sitting postition facing Josh. It took a lot for her to do this but she needed to do it. She leaned foward and whispered in Josh's ear. "Josh...I...I lov...love you." She leaned back a bit and looked him in the eyes before leaning foward and kissing him. After a few moments her lifeless body fell sideways.
Izzy stood and turned to Death with tears pouring from her eyes. "I...I don't know that I can do this...Josh...Jesta...Ly...Ace...They all still need me. Isn't there anything I can do?" Something told her that she wasn't going to like the answer.
Life came out from the shadows of the trees. "I do believe that my brother's offer still stands, right brother?" She turned to Death with a small smile. She wanted to see Izzy's choice for herself and besides, she agreed with Izzy. The girl was still needed...
Mark sighed. "Alice...I don't suppose Cheshire has anything to do with this."
Antoinette had stopped running and turned back towards the way she had came. Izzy....The girl could tell that something was wrong. Antoinette walked over to the nearest tree and, with much protest from the tree, touched it to see what was going on with Izzy. "Izzy....." Tears started to fall from her eyes as she saw Izzy fall. She stepped back from the now dead tree. She ran off again going towards what she had claimed as her medow.

((Yes Max, it was a fabulous idea. But the palace is a little better at reading people than that. Because you acted like you wanted to ... with Cyrillia, it gave you plenty of rooms, but it also knew you were looking for the King while he didn't want to be found. It is because of your idea that you all are one step closer to the prize. Each person will brng something to the table. It's Gale's turn. smile ))
((Good call Idril. smile Calling Cheshire.))
Cheshire materialized beside Alice. Even he didn't see Death. "This isn't something I can affect, this is in Life and Death's hands," he replied, shrugging. He knew the balance of things, he couldn't affect this. "One end, new beginning. And the circle comes around full circle," he stated, without his usual grin. He'd seen Hatter after Hatter die, but it never lessened the pain. "Mark's right... this is one thing that isn't my fault," he said softly, tears in his eyes. Cheshire had feelings, and his feelings for his friends, while chaotic, were quite strong. Izzy... he considered Family from how well she liked hers. The original hatter all the way down to her and Ly...
Death nodded. "Bargains can be made. What do you offer?" he asked. He realized her situation, but also knew his job. He wanted to let her offer first. One thing he wished was... her love. She could still be Queen of shadows if she wished. His offer still stood.

Izzy tried to dry her tears. But she could not ever accept his offer... She looked back at Josh to remind herself of that. "But I have nothing to offer..."
Life walked foward and started walking around Izzy. "But you do. You just do not realize it. Where is you hat young one?"
Izzy streached out her hand and a phantom of her hat flew to it. "What does my hat have to do with anything?" Izzy still couldn't figure it out. Her hat...Her hat had always been there for her. It was the symbol of..."Oh...."
Life nodded. "Your power. The power of a Hatter. If you will not pledge your love to my brother then you can hand over your power and be with your love" Life was almost sure of the girls choice. Give up life for power or give up power for life. It was rather a simple choice for the girl.
Izzy was stunned. "No more tea, no more shopping and storeing and hiding in my hat. No more magic. But I won't be a hatter anymore."
Life shrugged. "Its your choice." She stopped herself from saying anything else, to see if her brother had anything else left to say. Maybe to persuade her.
Mark sighed. This was a day to be marked in history. He wouldn't be supprised if it started pouring down rain and storming right now. Wonderland was loosing its greatest member.

((please change Life's color. It's really bright. Hard to read against white.))
Death chuckled. "Izzy, is that truely what you believe makes you a Hatter?" he asked rhetorically. "No, your outlook on life. That smile. That leadership and at times... insanity and fly off the handle temper.... Your Grandfather's Legacy and Love. That is what make you a Hatter," he encouraged.

Izzy looked down at the hat. "I suppose...I don't need power. I don't need any of it." She handed the hat over to Life who was closer. "I will trade my power, my Gift, for life."
Life looked over at Death to make sure he accepted the terms. She couldn't do much until her brother decided that it was ok. "Good choice Elizabeth Hatter."
((better?))

Random, amazingly calm, sat next to Cyrillia Indian style and patted her back soothingly. His empathy took precedence here, Master worked better when she was calmer. He looked up to Gale. "Am stranger in these lands that would accept. Will service Master. Find Jeanie."

Jesta began to silently cry as Izzy fell down, Please.. No.. I can't eal with all this without you She thought, staring hopelessly
Josh touched his hand to his lips, tears appearing in his own eyes. "Iz.." He whispered, bending down to lift her and hugging her her kissed her lifeless lips. "Don't leave me Iz" He rocked gently, as though Izzy was merely asleep, he began to sing under his breath
Aria looked down at Izzy and fell to her knees. Such a strong person, Izzy had always been there, she was always meant to be there. Tears fell down her cheeks and..
Inside the house Myria dropped her teacup. "Izzy!" She exclaimed, jumping upright before sinking down again with the futility of it all, "Izzy's.." Myria also began to cry
"But you can do anything" Spoke Alice, staring up at Cheshire. "Why couldn't you save her?!" She ran off, climbing the nearest tree so that no one would see how upset she was, see her tears.
((Tearfest! Almost all my characters are crying right now..
And I edited Jesta's previous post))

Cheshire sighed as Alice ran off. He faced what was happening. Alice was running from it. He waved his hand over her body to remove the sword, the sword dissapating into nothingness.
Gale nodded to Random. Random would comfort, Gale would find. He turned the heat sensor on in his eye. One room was exhibiting alot of heat. He quickly went to it and opened the door. A fire was in there. Just a pit and fire. He closed the door back. Less heat... he had to find a body heat signature. He found one that looked like a body laying down, he opened the door and saw the layed out Tiger. Not good. He shut the door. The palace was tricier than he thought. He completely closed his left eye, seeing only heat reading. He found a body shape, standing up, pacing the room. An Ace. He opened the third mahogany door. The Ace stood there. Gale held the door open. "She'll be through the door on the opposite side," he stated, hoping Cyrillia wouldn't be out of drive.
Death took the hat power and it dissipated into light orbs. They went to Life, ready to be transferred to Izzy and her body.

Reino (Rei) T. & Azazell (Aza)  Reino nodded his head as he watched Death fade away, his eyes blinking a bit as it dawned on him what form the reaper was wearing as a smile crept across his lips. He'd wait for the reaper to come back before taking his leave, because a sinking feeling was washing slowly over him. And he knew what that feeling was to begin with, Azazell was up to no good. Glancing at Scarlet his eyes narrowed at her into thin tiny slits, making the demoness in a sense shudder, as his gaze pierced her back. "What is it Lord Reino that you are piercing me with those detached eyes of yours? I have told you the truth." She said, stopping in mid step and becoming utterly still.
Reino watched her and stayed were he was, knowing the moment she licked her lips out of paranoia. "I want to double check Mistress Scarlet that you are telling me everything you know. Because you know I have no patience when I am lied too. As well as my intuition telling me something isn't right, due to Azazell....Are you sure that you don't know anything else?" he asked her, his voice practically dripping honey as well as cold retribution. Her whole body shook as she turned around to meet his idigo and green mismatched eyes with her blood red. "I swear to you on my very life, as well as my denziens of this realm, I do not know anything. Pleaes I beg you, do not cause any more harm to me than is already inflicted by the lord Azazell." she practically whispered as she knelt in her spot awaiting for what was to come.
->Azazell heard the kings words as he gave his consent, reaching out and barely touching Rhoule's hand with his as the shadows swam up and engulfed them. Concentrating so the king didn't feel the bitter shock of the freezing cold of the shadow realm, he traveled as quick as possible, feeling Reino's presence there as well as the faint traces of death. A small frown pursed his lips as his eyes glowed briefly. In a matter of minutes he caused the shadows to bubble up in the throne room, bursting around them. Small motes of the dark bubble floated around them absorbing the faint torch light. "we are here my liege. I hope the journey wasn't as bad as the first time I took you through my world. Now if you'll excuse me your highness King Rhoule, I must go and retrieve your property. Then deal out the punishment to one of my servants." He spoke in his grating voice.
Staying were he was until the king would dismiss him, because it was only proper as the queen of hearts once taught him. Though his mind was in another place all together. Jumping from one topic to the next, though thress stood out the most. "why was death and Reino there with scarlet, how to punish scalet appropriately, and why was that twit so damn interesting to everyone around her......"

Anna Mellison
Anna had trapsed half way around the lake and had come back to were the cabin was now in site. Her eyes going into large round orbs at the sight of what was going on. Izzy Hatter was down for the count it looked like. She was back to what had been her normal for fourteen years, but still tears welled in her eyes. She knew she wasn't of any help to anyone. Hell they had all just met her, so what should they care about her. Though glancing around her eyes landed on Lynx, and another pang of sorrow welled up in her. She knew they were family, he'd said so himself. They were fairly close though nothing really close. Shutting her eyes and rolling back around the tree Anna took a few deep breaths.
"I wanna help, but than again what can I do? I hate feeling usesless and knowing there is nothing I can do." she thought to herself as she pushed away from the tree. She couldn't see life or death there aroudn Izzy, but she saw everyone else one last time, as well as some strange girl (alice) run away. Hanging her head she started to walk slowly away from the group, as the soft cries became evident from the cabin. Death wasn't something Anna was technically afraid of, just something she'd never been able to handle. Like her grandfathers, as her slow walk got faster and faster until she was running almost at full pace once more away from the situation.
After a while of blind running her body starting to hurt on one side, Anna collapsed onto her knees near the lake's edge. It's waters were very inviting at the moment, and she did indeed need a drink. The tears that had started to well up back there, now finally started to graciously spill over, and down her pale pink cheeks. "WHY! Why can't I ever do anything for anyone in that situation?" she half shouted out, hearing her voice carry and echo across the lakes serenely calm waters. No reply came as she looked into the water of the lake seeing her tear streaked face. Cupping her hand she scooped up some of the water and started to bring it too her lips.

Cyrillia forced herself upright, hearing Gale's words, if Jeanie was through there, then nothing would stop her from getting past. She transformed out of sight of the Ace, becoming a beautiful red head, wearing a miniskirt and t-shirt she strolled into the room. "Excuse me, I wonder if you could help me" She smiled at the Ace, cocking one hip. "I'm a little lost"

((@Krazy: Yes, thank you,))
((@Andi: The King responded and agreed to it in one post.))
Rhoule nodded. "Go, and be sure you return with the girl," he stated as he sat in his throne, relaxing.
The Ace looked at her, slightly fazed by her looks and by her even being here. "Where are you wishing to go?" he asked smoothly, taking one step towards her.

Anna Mellison
Startling at the voice that came from no where, Anna dropped the water that had been cupped in her hands. Turning her face away from it so they couldn't see the stains from her tears on her face. Keeping her self calm, though she was anything but at the current moment she replied. "Thank you for the warning. And no thank you I will be fine with out the tea. Just wanted to splash some water on my face was all." she spoke in a soft monotoned voice as she stood up and dusted off her now dirty knees. Grimacing at the pain in them from the fall she took getting there. Snorting at herself with disgust, as she took a few more deep breaths plastering a smile on her face.
Quickly running her hands through part of her waist length hair, which allowed her to swipe at the tear streaks to make them vanish a bit. Turning around she looked at the person there, smile slightly curving her pink lips. "So ummm who are you? and were exactly did you come from? I didn't see you when I came crashing to the lakes edge. I am Anna, Anna Melison. Nice to meet you." She said in that same soft but now polite monotoned voice thrusting her hand out for a handshake. All the while her mind was swirling around what she had been screaming aloud, wondering if this person had heard her at all. And if so why weren't they commenting on her ranting and ravings...Wishing right now to no be there.

((it's fine. and I wanted White to see her first, but I'll let Kori run his course. I want Anna and White to be alone together, he'll show up soon and ask to borrow her away and be alone with her. I figured that I'd let them talk for a moment though, rather than interrupt.))
