Blue-Eyed Boy [in editing hiatus]

You're my what!?

[Recap]
Olive stops when she sees strange white flowers dripping with... Red Paint?

"Harry I don't think we're in Neverland." Olive quivers tearing up.

Olive's pov:
"Harry this isn't home! I don't understand what happened!" I cried sitting down on a large mushroom.
"Birdie I might know where we are." Harry fumbled with his hands looking down.
"Really!? Where?!" I gasped
"Wonderland." He spat like the word was poison.
I felt myself quickly pale. "As in Alice in Wonderland, Wonderland?" I shivered.
"More or less." Harry shrugged.
"I need to breathe!" I called out before running deeper into the rainbow colored forest.
Nonsense! This is all nonsense! I kept mumbling not looking while running. Next thing I know I run straight into a wall. No not a wall, a person. I slowly raise my gaze to the man and I scream at his odd looks.

After hearing my wild scream Harry comes bolting through the forest and pulls me into his arms.
The man I ran into looked spooked. "It's you." He whispers to himself looking dumbfounded.
"Who are you!?" I shout at him and he just shakes his head at me.

"You won't remember me." He said.
"Really? Try me!?" I say smugly.

"I'm your father Olive." He echoed.

"You're crazy! No my dad is Peter Pan you strange fool!" I shouted wanting to get away. "Come on Harry we should go." I huff pulling at his sleeve yet he doesn't budge.
"Olive you should stay." Harry pleaded looking at the man before his gaze returned to me.
"But Harry he's mad! Completely mad." I bleated.

"Olive. Please stay." The man begged almost tearing up at the sight of me.
"So you say you're my father? Prove it strange man." I crossed my arms rolling my eyes.

"Ok first can you stop with the strange nicknames. The name is the Mad Hatter, you're being very rude young lady." The so called Hatter looked quite upset. "Where do you think you got that bright, bouncy red locks of yours Olive?" He pointed out with a confident smile.
I let out a small growl at his accusation that may or may not be true.

"Don't forget you're stunning eyes." His smile growing wider with each point he throws out.
I do sort of see a resemblance now that I think about it, but he has strange almost cat like eyes.

"So let's just say you're right and I am in fact you're child." I huff trying not to look at him. "If I'm you're child then why was Pan my dad?" I shrug knowing I'd stump him there.

"It's simple." He frowns "Pan stole you from me." He insists.
"You really think Ima believe that." I laugh trying to walk away.
"Please, I've waited and waited for you to return one day and now that you're here I- I just don't want to lose you again." He shakes his head at the ground.

"Pan he, he came one day to Wonderland demanding to see Alice for some task he had or something. I told him she left Wonderland a long time ago, she left to grow up. He started storming through the house breaking everything. Then you, you little bundle of joy, you started crying and Pan stopped in his place. His evil smirk began to stretch across his face as he neared your room. I quickly followed after him and he plucked you off the ground." Hatter shakes his head feeling sick from telling the story yet he continued. " You were sitting in a basket on the floor." He chuckled before paling.

"He just picked you up out of the basket and held you. I was shaking. Olive,  I asked him softly hoping he would hand you back to me. He shook his head at me before laughing, he ran out of the room like a madman. I tried to chase after him but he used his powers for evil, and flames started to circle me. The flames burned everything but me.
I just stood there as he ran off with you in his arms." Hatter began to sob having flashbacks.

"Hatter? Are you okay?" He had no response. I held Harry's hand and gave it a small squeeze before trying again.

"Dad?" I whispered

"I'm fine" he smiled at me weakly.
