Alex was just your average teenage girl. She was pretty, popular, had lots of friends and of course she had the latest phone. Alex was walking home from her friend's house. She had spent the day at the mall with her girlfriends before heading to Maria's house for dinner with the rest of her friends. After they all ate, they dispersed. Most of Alex's friends were picked up by their parents but Alex decided to walk home since she only lived a few blocks away. After telling her friends goodbye, she set off.

Alex had been walking for some time when she saw something white speed by in a blur. At first she thought it was her imagination but then it happened a second time. On the third time, it didn't move as quickly. Alex could barely make out what it was but she assumed it was a stray cat. Stray cats were fairly common in the neighborhood now that the crazy cat lady who lived at the end of the street had passed away. Alex shrugged off the strange encounter and kept walking.

Alex was about to turn the corner into her street when a white blur sped past her again. This time, it stopped in the middle of her path and she was able to get a better look at it. It was not a stray cat as she had previously thought but a harmless white rabbit. Alex cautiously approached it. The rabbit didn't move. It sat there, its pale pink nose twitching. The rabbit sat there gazing expectantly at Alex. Alex bent down to pet the rabbit's head. Suddenly it darted away in the direction that Alex had come.

Alex stood there for a moment debating whether she should follow it or not. In the end, she took off in the direction the rabbit had gone. She figured she may as well since she didn't have anything else going on. The shoes she wore were ill fitted for running but Alex somehow managed to catch up to the rabbit. She made her way towards it but it darted away again. Alex chased after the rabbit without a hesitation ignoring the throbbing pain of her feet. By this time, Alex was no longer in in the neighborhood that she knew but Alex was oblivious to this fact as she continued to pursue the rabbit. It would stop for a brief moment giving Alex enough time to catch up and approach it. Just as she was about to pet it, the rabbit would run away. This continued for quite some time until the rabbit stopped at the base of a large oak tree. Alex carefully approached anticipating the rabbit to run away when she approached but it simply sat there. She bent down to pet it only to find herself suddenly falling through a hole in the ground.

Alex fell for what felt like an eternity before reaching the bottom. She landed pretty hard but fortunately she was uninjured. She stood up only to be hit by something from behind. Alex collapsed to the ground. Before she lost consciousness, Alex swore she heard wicked laughter.
