Hi there everyone and welcome to my first official fan-fiction uploaded to . I have written fan-fictions before but this is the first one to be added to the website. I hope you guys enjoy my take on what happens after the 'The Looking Glass Wars' trilogy ends and please do review, I'd love to hear what you have to say about Chapter One or rather the Prologue of my new fan-fiction 'A Growing Fear'. Also, I'd just like to say I don't own anything, this is all fan-fiction based upon the great works of Frank Beddor. Please no copying of my plotline though, thanks and do tell me what you think.


The Looking Glass Wars – A Growing Fear

Prologue: An Unsure Country

Alyss's eyes closed again as she sat alone in the throne room. She'd been sat here all day awaiting some interesting news to come in from the town. The Invention Parade had supposed to be going on today but some imbecile had closed the road to the palace. She'd sent sentries to go search out what was happening but she didn't really care anymore. Things had gotten boring for Alyss when she'd realised she could get anything that she wanted, she had the man of her dreams and she could imagine up whatever she wanted but that still didn't make her happy. She knew now that she was being both obsessive and rude by doing this but she couldn't care less. "Majesty?" an inquisitive voice asked from the door.

Alyss's eyes flickered open immediately. "Alyss," she stated. "Yes?"

"There seems to have been a terrible mistake with the road closure… somebody closed it off so no-one could ride down it but they forgot to let the people in!" the little man tried to sound jokey as he walked inside but ended up sounding nervous.

He had short brown hair, cropped to his face and a bald patch that made Alyss guess he was about fifty or so. She on the other hand was just coming up to her thirtieth birthday, she was getting old. And no matter how annoyed she was about it, she had to deal. And she had to get an heir, a topic that had been on her mind for a while now. But this little man was slightly annoying her, it had been obvious that someone had closed the road but she wanted know who'd done it. Anxiously, Alyss began to fiddle with a lock of her beautifully wavy hair. "That's a nice joke of them," she said in a tone that seemed to try to be nice but ended up bored.

"Yes, terribly nice… if you could imagine away the barriers then maybe they could get down?"

"What a brilliant idea!" Alyss said pretending to be ecstatic. "I'll do it right away!"

The man watched with a smile until she waved her hand, "Shoo shoo!"

The man hobbled away with a little smile still attached to his face even though she hadn't really said anything nice to him. The thoughts that were going through his head though were worse than Alyss could have imagined. He was the usual happy person of Wonderland but like many others he was beginning to suspect Alyss. She'd had so much power for so long and with no-one to even try to teach it to she was starting to get a little power-crazed. As well as the fact that whenever anyone except her husband tried to talk to her she'd just dismiss them. He continued walking out of the palace to find that the barrier had disappeared and in its place was a huge float with a statue of Alyss on it. "All hail Queen Alyss," he muttered to himself.

A woman who stood nearby watched him wearily but there was one person he did notice. A little girl who had to be at about the age of thirteen was watching him carefully. As he walked past her she pushed her long brown hair out of her face and whispered, "All hail the Queen."

But from the look on her face and the clear frown he was thinking much the same as him. And this worried the man as he hurried back to his family. If he wasn't the only one who was thinking that the Queen was acting a little strangely then what would happen if the Queen found out? They could have a Civil War on their hands… But even as the man thought it he dismissed it. Good old Queen Alyss would never turn against her people, not after all that she had done for them. She would never… would she?


And that's it. As I said this is more of a Prologue to what is to come rather than a full-fledged chapter. I promise that there will be longer chapters to come and I have a lot of excitement to come. This is just to set our scene. Anyway please do review, I'd love to hear what you think on my first fan-fiction on and on my first ever 'The Looking Glass Wars' fan-fiction.
