He wished what she said was true but he couldn't stop people from thinking the way they do. He just let it go and lived his life as normally as he could. Hatter was shocked when Isabella hugged him but then she was gone just as quickly. He thought e on her questions till she came back, giving the market one more chance couldn't hurt. He smiled as she returned "The market would be nice tomorrow"

Isabella smiled and clapped her hands happily. "Wonderful! It will be fun I promise you." She said and gave a small giggle. She would try to make it as fun a day as possible for him. She owed him that at the very least. She wondered what kind of shops they would have at the market. It couldn't possibly be the same one as her old master had her go to. That one was a special one and she had not liked most of the shops, full of too expensive clothing and exotic foods.
"Would you like me to make dinner tomorrow after we go to the market? I could make you my specialty." She sounded excited and earnest, thinking it would make it more of a fun day. She enjoyed cooking thoroughly and figured he would enjoy the favor. Other thoughts crossed her mind at this point but she brushed them away without even realizing what they were about.

He was glad that he could make her happy but he was still a little nervous about going to the market. Another thought crossed his mind, would if the market goers thought he kidnapped her or something like that though part of him knew that he kidnapped her and would keep her around him no matter how hard she tried to get away from him but his other side wanted to her get as far away from him as possible. Hatter turned to her and gave her a smile though he was fighting with himself on the inside "that sounds wonderful to me" he said. "Though what would you like to do today?"

She smiled, grateful that he liked her idea though she had to think for a moment about what she wanted to do for the rest of the day. She could think of many things they could do but she wasn't quite sure. She then thought of something that wasn't really a group activity. "Um actually I kind of could go for a nap." She said this almost awkwardly. She had gotten tired quite suddenly to be honest and also she didn't know if hatter might want some alone time for himself to think or do whatever it was he wanted to do.

Hatter smiled, he hadn't thought about a nap. He hardly slept as it was but he was sure that she must be exhausted from everything so he nodded his head "That's probably a good idea" he said and got to his feet though he wouldn't be taking a nap anytime soon. He had things to do even if they were top priority. But still Hatter walked into the house, he had to change first into some nicer clothes and then he would be headed out to tend to his duties, however small they were. "I have some things that I must do so I will be going for a little bit but I will come right back. Help yourself to anything I don't mind" he called to her as he walked into his room.

"Yes Sir." She said and stood up bowing half way before a large blush was apparent and she stood upright. Old habits died hard and she hoped he hadn't noticed the half bow. She walked inside and into her room, taking off thehat and hanging it on the headboard. She loved it dearly but you can't sleep comfortably with a hat on. Getting under the covers she yawned and smiled slightly to herself.She did like Hatters company ever so much no matter his quirked that frightened her maybe a little but you have to get over them at some point. Then odd thoughts drifted into her mind as sleep began to unfurl its fog in her brain. What of their relationship? How would she react if he kissed her again would she kiss him back? She snuggled deeper into the pillow at this point and the thoughts vanished as she fell into sleep.

Hatter just sat in his room on his bed just staring at the wall. He was thinking about Isabella but he had to wipe that from his head just for a little bit. He got in the shower real quick and then dressed in a very casual suit. He liked dressing up a little bit but not too fancy. As he got to the front door of the house he turned around and just looked around. He took a deep breath, exhailed and walked out.

Darkness. Was that all that she could see now. No... There were colors now. Dark colors. Black, blue, and crimson. Wait now there were sounds and then the whole picture enlarged itself and came screaming into her ears. Dead bodies, flames, smoke, murderer. Than she couldn't breath. Everything was so confusing, so scary. She fought against the urge to pass out, smokey tendrils seeming to wind their way down her throat and into her lungs, around her neck. Squeezing and squeezing until she woke up with a start. Shivering in a cold sweat, tears on her face, she whimpered. There was no way in hell she was going to be going back to sleep. So she got up, took the had and her blanket with her and to the outside of Hatter's door. She sat up against it, under the covers, and with the hat in her arms like a stuffed animal she yawned. She didn't want to go back to sleep but the floor felt so comfortable and she could smell Hatter's scent through the door. She wasn't sure quite why but it made her feel a little more calm. Maybe it was because he had saved her and therefore made her feel safe. She wasn't sure but before she knew it she fell asleep again. Once more, Isabella had no idea why she was so sleepy. Maybe everything was really catching up to her.

He had gotten done with his errands late it was close to dark by the time he got home and was worried if Isabella was ok. He was exhausted by the time he walked up the front path. He pulled out his key and opened the door as quietly as he could. He hung up his coat inside and took off his vest. His hat stayed on as it always did. Hatter walked into the kitchen to get some water then he turned the corner to go to his room and take a small nap. He hadn't heard any noise so he figured that she was still sleeping.
Hatter stopped at the end of the hallway and saw Isabella sleeping outside his door. He smiled at first but then was worried as to why she wasn't in her bed sleep. He slowly walked up to her and crouched down. She looked peaceful sleeping there but he was sure that she would be more comfortable in her bed. He set his cup down and slipped one of his arms under her knees and the other supported her back. He laid her agains this chest and walked into her room. He gently placed her down on her bed and covered her up with a blanket. He stood back and just watched her for a moment. Then he went to his room and just laid down on his bed closing his eyes to try and sleep.

Her eyes fluttered open right as Hatter left her room. She smiled sleepily but then bolted up right in the bed as her memories came back from the dream she had had earlier. It might have seemed quite silly of her but she was scared, once more, to go back to sleep. Plus she was curious as to how Hatter's evening had been. She noticed it was late and wondered if it would be okay if she went to see him. Isabella sat there for a few moments wondering what she should do.
But then her mind was made up for her as she heard a funny noise and bolted out of bed. Her childish fear of she dark coming to haunt her. She hurried down to his door and knocked on it softly. Her heart was beating quickly and she felt quite frightened. It was childish of her and she knew it, though it was hard for her to convince herself that there was really nothing there. "Hatter are you awake?" she whispered not even sure if he could hear it through the door.

He wasn't sure when he fell asleep only that it was terrifiying and he wished that he could wake up. He tossed and turned trying to get comfortable so that maybe this wouldn't be so hard to sleep through. But with a quick not and rushed words Hatter jumped up from the bed staring. His eyes were still glazed over and some how he was still partly asleep. He looked around the room and it was hazy. He felt his forehead and it was slick. He looked at his hand and in his dazed state he saw red...deep blood red. He swipped out at the side lamp and it crashed to the floor. He watched at the piece silently scattered across the floor.
He remembered that something made him jump and as if he floated he was at his bedroom door. He jerked the door open staring at Isabella but somehow in his mind it wasn't her. Something was plauging her, soffocating her with some kind of black smoke. "Demon" he hissed under his breath and his hand started to raise to grab the demon but something flickered in his eye as he looked into hers. He dropped his hand trying to think of what this demon wanted with Isabella. She was a sweet little neko maid and probably wouldn't harm a fly but this demon was trying to harm her "Demon" he growled out again.

Isabella heard something crash and then the door opened. She was slightly scared now, his expression and his mentioning of demons. She really had no idea what he was talking about. "Hatter... I'm scared. What are you talking about?" She questioned, her blue eyes looking up at him before she noticed the blood on his forehead. Her eyes confused and worried now she gave him a hug and shivered some. "What going on? Hatter I'm scared." She really was frightened and not necessarily by him but how he was acting and the blood. What was that crashing noise she heard earlier? The last question was answered when she saw bits of little pieces of glass so she assumed a lamp or vase of some kind had broken. But why?

A flicker of recognition at the voice and he looked into her eyes one more time. The demon seemed to fade away as his eyes cleared and then he blinked and it was like nothing had happened. He looked down at Isabelle and wondered why she was standing at his door. "Why are you scared?" He now asked in his normal polite tone blinking his eyes. He looked around a bit confused as to what happened "Is there anything that I may do for you?" He asked as he rubbed one of his eyes and then looked at his hand. He had remembered faintly seeing red but now there was nothing, had he dreamed it all or was it real. He would have to try and figure that out at a later time.

"I keep having nightmares of the day that you saved me." Isabella said softly, noticing his change in tone and mannerism. "And I am sort of scared of the dark..." This she said in an almost audible tone, being quite embarrassed about this fact. She wasn't sure what she wanted him to do about it. Really she just wanted company though she figured that she probably shouldn't have bothered him. She hugged him, burrowing her head in her chest. "Can you please keep me company tonight. I'm afraid I wont sleep other wise." She asked, her words muffled slightly due to her positioning.
She didn't want to be a hindrance to him but her fear out weighed her willingness to be polite no matter what. Her body and mind were tired from her constant sleeping and waking and her nightmare seemed to cause her to become more and more exhausted however she couldn't seem to quench the feeling in her bones as she jumped at any movement or sound. "Please. I'm sorry." She then said and hugged him tighter.
