It's time to wake up.

It surely was a strange sight to behold, the hatter wasn't one to plead nor was he one to demand that they put up the wards. He more then ever wanted those damned wards down, if it meant to rid of this disastrous place that they had been forced to live in but now, he was sure to take its chances if it meant another day of survival.

Now at the center of the towns attention, he was finally upon his knees in front of the , nothing before this outcome would have him kneel before her but this wasn't one of those times were he would state that she was their rightful . "Regina, please. You must lift the wards back up." he stated, his eyes frantically looking around him into the crowd as his eyes then found Mr.Gold sauntering towards him. Biting his inner cheek he looked down towards the ground for a split second as it was then lifted back up by the end of his cane, now directly face to face with Rumpelstiltskin himself. "You don't understand, but until you do. I implore you all to listen to me." he stated, turning his head away from the cane as he left his chin drop from its hold.

Barely able to stand upon his own two feet he grimaced in pain once again as he turned towards them, showing them all his swollen and mostly burnt off skin from the acidic air. "It's only a few more yards past my home, you've let it in." he stated, frowning again as he started to loose consciousness once again. The radiation exposure was surely affecting him as he started to slump forward towards the crowd as they all took a step back out of fear on what he could have been exposed too.
