Part 1
The day was another unparticular gloomy morning in London. As the clouds covered the sun that rarely shined, a girl named Alice was riding in the back of a horse drawn carriage. Her long straight black hair back over her shoulders, contrasting with her startling blue eyes, while the woman sitting next to her read aloud. A little brown puppy named Dina sat on her lap and she rubbed it behind the ears, not listening to her sister's talk. Alice's eyes were shutting as her sister's voice droned on.
"Alice, are you listening? Your studies are important," her sister said suddenly after realizing Alice wasn't paying attention.
"Honestly Ramona, you know I can't stand my lessons. Why don't we play a game instead?" Alice replied while adjusting Dina's position on her elegant black and white dress. Her sister unpinned the striped bow on Alice's head and clipped it again.
"Oh I hate this thing! It's such a nuisance, always coming off," Alice whined. Ramona tsked as she readjusted her position in her seat.
"Well it's fixed now so stop complaining," Ramona commanded. Alice slumped back in her seat, folded her arms and stared out the window of the carriage.
As they neared the lake where the tea party they were attending was being held, Alice wasn't the least bit excited. Ramona had continued reading aloud from her book, seeming not to notice that Alice wasn't paying attention. Alice pushed her black hair back behind her ears while she still looked out the window and Dina had fallen asleep on her lap. The sun had escaped the cover of clouds until it disappeared underneath them again a moment later. Alice sighed and noticed that her sister's voice had suddenly stopped for the first time in a while. The book held in Ramona's hands thumped close, putting it down again between Alice and her. Dina stirred for a moment and settled down again.
"We're almost there," Ramona reassured Alice.
"I can't wait," Alice said flatly. Ramona tsked again and looked ahead.
The tea party was set out on the grass next to the lake. The party was cheerful despite the weather, and all they enjoyed cucumber sandwiches with their tea. Alice sat watching Dina roll around in the grass, not caring at all for the ladies of the tea party surrounding her. Ramona sat amongst them and talked smiling, not paying attention to Alice for the slightest moment. A dragonfly flew by and caught Dina's attention; she got up and trotted after it. Alice stood up silently and started after Dina, because any adventure of Dina's would sure be more interesting than anything that would happened at the party. While Alice was a short distance from Dina she turned around to see if anyone noticed that she was gone. The party of ladies was still blabbing away, and no one seemed to miss her.
"Who needs them?" She asked Dina while cradling her to her shoulder. Dina looked at her with her deep brown eyes, barked and wagged her tail excitedly. Alice laughed while hugging her little puppy to her closer and walked further ahead. When the tea party was out of sight, Alice laid Dina down and sat in the soft grass next to her with many trees in the background. Dina ran about wanting Alice to play with her. Alice felt a smile coming across her face and petted Dina instead. She lay back among the green age seeing the sun come out again and knew that wouldn't last for long.
Alice sat up suddenly as she heard Dina barking wildly. Alice scanned the area wondering what could have disturbed Dina. Alice then saw a small figure hop towards them; she squinted and barely made out the image of someone or something in a petticoat and top hat. As it got closer the thing grew bigger and bigger. She edged towards the figure and she saw it was a huge white rabbit about the size of a medium sized man. Dina continued to bark madly, but the rabbit took no notice of either of them and reached into his petticoat with a gloved paw, taking out a pocket watch.
How strange, thought Alice.
The rabbit then began to hopping frantically, crying out, "Oh I'm late, I'm late for a very important date!" Alice's curiosity got the best of her, having such a weird sight to see in front of her eyes.
As the white rabbit raced away towards the distance, Alice chased after her, calling,
"Oh Mr. Rabbit! Wait! Please!" The white rabbit didn't slow down and continued to state he was late for a very important date. Alice was preoccupied with dodging all the trees to think if her sister noticed she was gone. They came to a clearing with many wild flowers and a big rabbit burrow. The rabbit leaped into the hole that was perfect for the size of him. Alice stopped short of falling into the rabbit hole, Dina whimpering at her heels.
"Oh dear," Alice whispered as she peered into the black abyss of the black burrow that looked like it never ended and consumed all light. She took a step back but the dirt supporting her to tumble forward – into the rabbit hole. She got a mouthful of dirt and spat it out. Alice looked up and saw the image of Dina of growing further and further away.
Alice called out, "Dina!" as Dina barked out to her as if to tell her to come back .Then all light was snuffed out as Alice couldn't see the opening or Dina anymore. The impending thought that she would fall forever inched into her mind. The fall didn't seem to end anytime soon and Alice felt like the darkness was suffocating her. Without warning, Alice suddenly fell to the earth below and banged her head upon landing. Everything blacked out.
