Disclaimer: I don't own either Sailor Moon or Alice in Wonderland.
An: Hey guys and welcome to my first ever solo non-crossover Sailor Moon story. Basically here's the deal, for the past month I've been head over heels obsessed with Alice in Wonderland. I ended up reading the first chapter of this great manga, Heart no Kuni no Alice and afterwards had this crazy Sailor Moon/Alice in Wonderland dream.
So, hence this story came out of it. If you've ever read that manga, I'm using one of the basic ideas behind it. Oh, and this story takes place before Usagi becomes Sailor Moon.
Down the Rabbit Hole
Prologue
"I wish I could just disappear," The crying maiden wished from the bottom of her heart and without any sort of hesitation the man in the top hat snapped his fingers. "Done," He replied with a smirk, desperately trying to contain his glee.

Quite suddenly Usagi shot up from her makeshift bed, the sounds of the rolling thunder harshly stirring her from her dream realm. The smell of the coming rain assaulted her senses and against her better judgment she allowed Helios's sticky little fingers to cover her blue orbs, momentarily sending her back to the land of Elysion. But nature having alternative plans allowed a single unwelcome raindrop to fall from the heavens and land directly on the bridge of her nose.
Using the palm of her hand Usagi smoothed away the unwanted moisture before forcing open her bloodshot eyes, now painfully and utterly awake. Her once innocently bright eyes appeared now lifeless and dull as they lazily searched her surroundings.
"I did it again," Usagi admitted to the night's air as she once again found herself having fallen asleep on the school's roof. Nonchalantly she whipped the tears tracks from her face having found that she had cried in her sleep once again. "You can't even leave me alone in my dreams, can you?"
Crossing her feet Indian style Usagi watched as the rain drops began to descend from the very heavens themselves. A month ago she would have ran screaming in the night, her childhood fear petrifying her to the core of her being. But now it didn't faze her one bit, actually one should say that nothing seemed to hold the same emotions as it did merely a month ago.
The sugary child that seemed to be all smiles and laughter seemed now devoid of those classic and sweet emotions that made up her entire being.
Abruptly Usagi's listless eyes widen a fraction of an inch before shifting to her left side, finding the cigarettes that Sumire had given to her were now completely soaked and ruined. Deeply frowning she noticed that the black ink kanji symbols painted skillfully on the sides were now smeared, appearing unrecognizable. While letting out a sigh she gathered them up in the palm of her hand ignoring the fact that the paper was breaking allowing the coarse tobacco to rub against her smooth porcelain skin.
"Great," Usagi mumbled to herself while standing up and heading towards the roof's edge. Upon first receiving them the sheer idea of them had seemed so romantic and classic as she remembered a handful of scenes from foreign films where the lead character had lost themselves in a cloud of smoke, expressing their discontent with the world. But, while she really never had any intention of smoking them she felt calmer having them around.
The reason behind this had been namely the kanji that Sumire had so elegantly painted on the cigarette paper for her. 'Burn your problems away,' She had stated with a haunting smile as she had handed them over to her over a week ago.
He doesn't love you, one said with a smiley face at the end.
Your grades are in the toilet, an F- painted on the filter.
He loves someone else, after the statement she had wrote his girlfriend's name.
Your happiness had faded, forever, maybe?
There sits a broken girl, Usagi Tsukino.
Pushing the shredded paper, wet tobacco and filter through the chain link fence she desperately wished she could follow it and the rain as it descended towards the wet, unyielding concrete. But when her family's images flashed into her mind she knew that she could never do such a thing.
"I wish I could just disappear," Usagi paused, resting her still tobacco coated hand against the wet chain link fence. "I wish I could go somewhere where I can just forget about everything."
Meow, Usagi jumped letting out a yelp as she turned around finding a small white cat timidly stalking towards her. "You scared me half to death," She stated while holding her hand to her chest.
"I'm sorry," The cat replied causing Usagi's jaw to drop.
Laughing nervously to herself Usagi looked past the small, white feline towards her makeshift bed where a single brown bottle sat half empty. "Ah, I get it; I'm drunk and imagining things." Never having dank beer before this afternoon she figured this had to be the normal side effect.
"Afraid not Princess," The cat replied and in a blinding flash of light transformed into a man, the cresset moon tattooed on his forehead glowing. "Let's go," He stated.
Before Usagi even had a chance to question him he ran towards her, grabbing her by the waist and throwing her over his shoulder. Ignoring the girl's screams he continued to run towards the edge of the school building somehow transporting them through the chain link fence and sending them plummeting towards the ground.
Briefly before Usagi blacked out from sheer fright she remembered seeing a black hole opening up below them and then darkness entered her vision, taking it over completely.

"Endymion, do you think this is wise? This might be dangerous for her," Artemis asked of his master who simply looked down at the girl his expression unreadable.
"So is leaving her in this state," He replied while smoothing away a strand of golden hair from her face.

An: I know this is short, promise longer chapters from now on I just didn't want to give too much away in the prologue. Be sure to leave me a review and tell me what you think!
