Alice then hides inside Tarrant's hat and spends the night there. He is then taken away as Alice watches on.

With no other options and the enemy approaching, Tarrant puts Alice atop his hat and flings it across a river to the opposite side (saving her from the Red Knights), but then draws attention to himself, and gets captured in the process. Soon, the Red Queen's minions pick up Alice's scent and start chasing them. Tarrant takes Alice on a journey to Marmoreal and explains the Red Queen's reign of terror over Underland on the way. Alice gives Tarrant a piece of her clothes, and Tarrant then makes a strapless dress for her and gives it to her. When the Red Queen's minions come to him looking for her, Tarrant gives Alice a potion that shrinks her, then hides her in a teapot and pretends that he has never seen her, after Stayne leaves. She then meets up with Tarrant Hightopp, who is happy to see her, but Alice does not remember him. While Nivins claims that she is Alice, the other animals are under the impression that she is "The wrong Alice". She falls into Underland, a post-apocalyptic fantasy land, where various animals have apparently been expecting someone called "Alice". Intrigued, Alice decides to follow it, only to stumble down his rabbit hole. In doing so, she discovers a rabbit named Nivins McTwisp wearing a blue waistcoat. Shortly after finding out she is about to be proposed to, a 19-year-old Alice flees an engagement party.
