Return to Wonderland
By Courtney Erickson
Chapter 1
Can you keep a secret?
My name is Audrey L. Gibson. I live in Montana with my older sister, Satine and my mother Rebecca. If you met me, you would think I was a totally average, normal high school student. I seem to blend in with everyone, with my auburn hair and startling green eyes, my creamy skin, my bright smile. You would think that I was like any other 16 year old girl.
I am here to inform you that you would be wrong.
My life wasn't always like this. It was normal. I had always wanted to find more in life. I longed for exciting adventures in faraway places. I dreamt of things you couldn't even imagine yourself. Now, I find myself wishing I hadn't. I now wish for my once normal, basic life. When your life is as crazy as mine, you can only hope that you will someday have a chance to live normally.
I bet you are wondering what my story is. I bet right now, as you are reading this page, you are trying figure out what could have possibly have happened to me. It all started in my Sophmore year.

I stared at my feet as I walked on the cold, brick sidewalk. Red and yellow leaves were scattered on top of it, painting a picture that looks like it should've been a great work of art. My black converse sneakers made a delightful little clap across the sidewalk.
Clip,
Clop,
Clip,
Clop.
In between claps, I stepped on the occasional leaf which crunched and crackled beneath my shoes. I was walking home from my choir rehearsal. I had been in choir for a long time, and I couldn't find anything else that could give me such passion. Singing filled me with hope and dreams not even words can describe. It painted pictures in my head of things you couldn't imagine. I turned in to the corner of my neighborhood.
That's when I met her.
