Alice awoke in her bed at Rutledge Asylum, dazed and confused.

"Ugh, my head... where am I?" she remarked, slowly becoming more alert and aware of the grubby, foul smelling yet awfully familiar room around her.

"I'm certainly not in Wonderland any more, oh dear what ever have I gotten myself into this time?" she questioned. Her vision gradually returning, her eyes beaming with fright as her vision finally focused and she looked in horror at her recognised surroundings.

"Sweet heavens! No, I cannot be here! Not this again! I don't belong here, oh please help me! Will this godforsaken nightmare ever end?!"

"You should have known the price of evil, Alice. It must hurt to know that you belong here." said a recognisable voice from what appeared to be the corner of the room. It was that fiendish man, Doctor Bumby!

"Go away! Get out! I don't need you! You are an awful man who has done many awful, terrible things. If anybody is evil and belongs in this decrepit place, it's you!" Alice hollered, so loudly that the whole wing of the asylum must have heard her sharp sounding voice.

"Hush now, no-one will believe you Alice, you are insane after all. I am a respectable man. I take good care of my children, I send them away from this wretched hell-hole into my tender loving care, which is why society looks up to great men like me. Now, let me take care of you, insolent child!" Bumby replied sternly, drawing a syringe out of his small, black empty looking bag.

"What? What are you doing?!" Alice trembled, squirming and trying to break out of her restraints.

"This won't hurt a bit, soon you'll reset and forget. You'll be back to Wonderland in no time at all Alice. Good old caring Uncle Bumby knows what's best for you after all. He took good care of your family. He put sweet Lizzy to sleep and CREMATED her AND your PARENTS all in ONE night!" Bumby uttered proudly.

"YOU!, YOU MONSTER! HOW COULD YOU? SWEET LIZZY.. OH GOD, LET ME OUT OF HERE, HELP! SOMEBODY.. PLEASE.. ANYBODY!"

Bumby drew in closer, he stuck the needle in Alice's arm.

"AHHHH UGHHHhhhhh mmhh..." Alice faded out, twitching into a deep slumber.

"Shhh now" said Bumby, patting Alice on her head. Hand now over her face, he leaned in closely.

"Go, to wonderland."
