Alicia In Wonderland Book II: Forgetting Underland
Disclaimer: Sadly, I still don't own Alice in Wonderland (sigh)
Author's Note: Book 2! I'm going to try to make longer chapters, but I usually have a hard time doing that:( So if I can't, I'll just make shorter chapters with more updates! Although I try to make each chapter more than 1,000 words:) Anyway...here we go! {Oh, and to avoid confusion, I'll be referring to Alicia as Emily and Alice as Jade until they remember themselves...just saying!}
Preface: Dear Diary
Dear Diary,
I stayed up late again last night. Yes, I was thinking about Mystery Man. It's all just so thrilling, the idea of a mystery. In my boring life, stuff like this is rare.
I still think it might be that "Chess" character. I mean, what are the odds? He had a necklace nearly identical to mine. And mine said Chess, and, well...
Anyway, if he really is Chess, than that means that I was in love with him! I mean, I had his name in a heart around my neck. If that doesn't say 'love',
than what does?
I just wish that I could find him again! It's been an entire month since I saw him.
That month marker also marks the seventh month of 'stuff I can remember'. Everything before that is a big blur.
But I have dreams about my life before. Dreams of a different part of Underland. Could it really be possible, though? In my dreams, I stayed in Marmoreal. Marmoreal! Like, the place where the White Queen lives! And I can't tell you how many times Chess has appeared in my dreams.
Jade played the piano last night. She plays so beautifully! I wish I had a cool talent like that.
And while I'm thinking about it, you know who else has appeared in my dreams? The Red Princess. But in my dreams, she was just a fun, normal girl. Weird much?
Leila wants to have a picnic today. But she doesn't want to join us. She just wants me and Jade to go. I think it's because her cousin is coming. He always visits her once or twice a month. But Jade and I have never met him. I mean, if we've been living with her for as long as she says we have, you
think we would have already met her cousin. What's the need for secrecy?
This time, I hear he's bringing a friend. I snoop through Leila's letters to her cousin; the information isn't usually useful to me. But I noticed that her cousin's friend is named Chess...
This is one particular gathering I don't intend to miss.
I've got to go to breakfast now. Guess what we're having?
You guessed it:
Berries and Bread.
When will life have meaning?
And when will I eat something besides bread and berries?
Sincerely Yours,
Emily
So what did you think of my Preface? Better than the last book? Worse? As you can see, I am trying to make things longer. Hope you enjoy Chapter One!
