Suddenly there was a voice behind my back. It turned out to be a man whom I had seen before, but could not recognize him.

 - And the most important thing is that miss Redhem`s mechanical dolls. I somehow managed to stop her! - asked the Donald Frank, the professor of sewing.

Third chapter.

- She's barely living. I do everything in my power.

 - What happened? - I asked.

 - It's too early for you to know. But I will say one thing, dear: you are our hope.

 I heard the hoof noise. It was Walter Berrow’s army.

 - Run! This is Jack. If we are caught, then we can’t see our heads! - said Hare.

 - Elizabeth, Henry, and Fiona - all follow me! The rest should confuse them... - said Bedhed.

 I was scared, but did not file a mind. We ran through the forest. Horses were gone behind us. We carried the unknown where. Suddenly, we were at the pit.

 - Jump! - shouted Bedhed.

 Taking a deep breath and closing my eyes, I jumped. For me, the rest dived into darkness. From above came the explosion. I do not know how much I fell, but I remember that I fell on the mattress. I quickly moved away and did it just as the heap was small.

 - And so, we are in a dark tunnel. What should we do? - said the Henry, shaking off dust from his cylinder.

 - This is an old iron mine. If we go along the path, then we can be at the factories ... - said Fiona Waterloo.

 - Hold the lantern! There is a long road ahead... - said the Bengalius Cheshkerston from nowhere.

 We went forward, not knowing what awaits us, through the abandoned mine. The feeling of fear was not only mine; the others were also afraid of losing their heads. Soon I saw the moonlight.

- This is the way out!  - said the Bedhed and added to the move.

We were at some building. The mechanisms that were scattered, traces of fire and body maps hinted that there was a battle.

- Where are we? - I asked.

- In an old factory. We managed to win her back with the help of Jabberwocky. It was awful ... - said the Henry.

- Jack also participated, but we thought he was dead. But the Amanda Redhem patched him ... - added the Bedhed.

- I do not understand anything. What happened here? - I asked.

Fiona gently began his story.

- Alice proved that with the help of mirrors you can be in another world. For a long time, the Lady of Hearts was carrying out a plan of revenge for the fact that Alice broke into the country of Miracles and prevented her from seizing power. L.R.H. learned how to do it. Jack stole the Bedhed’s drawings. Factories began to be built, maps went to work in the mines. And Jack began to abduct from your world children who had a rich imagination. The first robots helped to take power from White. But Wonderland also began to suffer. The smoke of the factories poisoned the air and the plants, and if the portal was not stopped and the wheel movement was not turned off in the factories, the Wonderland would die.

- But dozens more do not stop their work, and still carry a threat hidden from the eyes ... - said the Agatha Shelter, physiologist.

- Well, how can I help you? I'm not Alice... - added I.

- You are her great-granddaughter and you must help ... - answered Henry Roide.

- I do not believe! This is just an ordinary dream! - I said and decided to run away.

- Stop, Elizabeth, there can be dangerous! - shouted my father.

I began to look for a way out of here and found it. Having run out of the factory, I saw that Valet took me by surprise. He looked scary. The left eye was mechanical. Right hand was mechanical too. The rest of the body was covered with burns.

- Elizabeth, her red majesty is waiting for you!” - He said, with his metal hand grabbed me and began to pull behind him.

 I screamed, but everyone realized it too late. "Why did I leave them? How stupid I am ... What should I do now?" - I thought and a tear rolled down my cheek.

Walter took me to the kingdom of Redhem. There was not a single human soul. The windows of houses and doors are closed. This place is the darkest of all that I saw. Very soon we were at the palace. Large iron doors were closed.

 - Open the gate! And livelier! - shouted Walter. The great gate opened immediately. Her garden is faded. After the smoke, beautiful scarlet roses turned black and lifeless. I saw an army of those very robots. In the left side was a red ball. I also saw a portal that looked like a big mirror. One army left, and the other returned with the children.

- It turns out that what they told me in the mine is true! - I said to myself.

The doors of the palace swung open. Near the walls were the banners of the Lady of Hearts: a red heart on a black background. I was led to the throne room. He was empty.

- Really, Walter, you brought the one that dared to give me a call? - a voice was heard and she suddenly appeared.

A.R. was in a long black dress. The same color was the crown. On the left eye was a green monocle.

 - I do not want to fight with you! - I said.

 - This is a lie, Elizabeth Roide. It seems, you forgot.

 - I did not do anything...

- Your cousin Alice stopped me.

 - What to do with it, madam? - said one of the guards.

 - Stall her in the dungeon! - replied A.R..

Now I begin to believe that everything is interconnected.

Fourth chapter.

I ended up in the room. Suddenly a candle in the center went out, but still the space was illuminated by the light of the moon. Suddenly the window appeared a translucent silhouette of a little girl. Striped stockings, a little dress and long curly hair immediately made it clear that in front of me the spirit of Alice.

 - Hi, Elizabeth!

- Hello.

- Yeah. I'm related. You look just like me! But how did you end up here?

 I thought I was sleeping. But now realized, that have been proved wrong!

- You know everything?

- Yes, but I do not understand why miss up to Redhem became so cruel?
