"So where are we headed?" Will asked as he, Ella and Alice waked through the woods, "Where's this safe place of yours?"

"The Outlands." Alice said simply and Ella raised her eyebrows

"We're gonna walk all the way to the bloody outlands, you couldn't've picked some where a bit closer like... anywhere else but the Outlands." Ella protested

"Back when me and Cyrus were together we made a deal that if we ever got separated or if anything ever happened we would always meet back there."

"Any chance you left some food there I could use a-"

Alice cut Will off completely ignoring him saying, "We just need to make a stop before we arrive."

"Oh, of course we bloody do." Will protested, "Where now?"

"The white rabbits house." Alice said quietly

Will stopped walking and so did Ella as he said, "Oh come on, I know you're ticked off about how he betrayed us but is this really the time to settle the score."

"I don't want revenge, Will." Alice said walking towards them, "I want help."

"From him? He's a bloody traitor." Will said

"He is our only way out of Wonderland."

"Actually that's not true." Ella said cutting Alice off and she lifted up her wrist, and she saw Will smirk, "I can get us out, so we don't need the rabbit."

"Can your watch transport this many people?" Alice asked

"...Uh I've only tested it with two people." She said motioning between herself and Will, "But I'm willing to try."

"Well I'm not, I'm not leaving our chance on a maybe don't you see with Jafar and the Red Queen here we will never be safe, you two, me and Cyrus need to leave. We need to leave today. And the rabbit is the only one that I am sure can get us away one hundred percent." Alice explained

Will glanced over to Ella and they shared a look as he said, "We can't trust him, not after what he's done."

"He and I were friends once, good friends it just doesn't make sense." Alice said shaking her head

"It does if the Queen has something important to him, you said the Queen wanted you back. Well the rabbit once promised me that he would never bring me back here and yet he did. So I'm guessing she has something of his." Ella stated

"Or maybe he got a better offer... some people turn on you and you have no idea why." Will stated

"No." Alice said shaking her head, "For him to betray us like that... I agree with Ella there has to be a reason." She then began to walk off leaving Ella and Will behind.

"If he betrays us again..." Will trailed off

"You are more than welcome to skin him and hang him in the bar." Ella joked, pulling Will with her as they followed Alice.

"Nice place." Will said as they made it to the Rabbits house which was a small door on the outside of a tree stump, "There is something wrong in the world when a rabbit has a nicer flat than you do."

"Yours isn't that bad just... really messy, and you stole it." Ella said with a smile

Ella looked over to Alice and saw her walking around, "It looks different here, the grass is overgrown the carrot are all mouldy."

"Maybe he abandoned the place." Will guessed

"Or maybe that's just what he wants to make people think he did." Ella suggested walking over to the little red door and knocking on it, "Rabbit It's Ella... Rabbit open the bloody door I can hear your heartbeat."
