All characters are from the original Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Read it if confused. The story will be told in three parts!
My Poor mother droned on and on reading from some moldy old book from the dusty old library. My eyes felt heavy as I petted my cat and listened to the sounds of nature. Mother refused to let me go far into the tree line, for we only where allowed to do silly thinks such as mother and her reading.
The bush to my right rustled and I spun around in time to see a small Rabit. He wore a brown leather waistcoat and begin tapping the large pocket watch in my direction. I quickly looked to my mother to see if she too had saw the small creature but she was still sitting, reading aloud.
I lightly moved my cat and crept away from the woman. The thick branches scratched my hands and plucked at my new pretty light blue dress. it was an engagement gift. Some wealthy Lord that wished for the beauty my family seemed to be gifted with.
I pushed past a thick tree with thick roots and noticed it pulsed with energy. (A/N: who can tell what tree this is?;)
The small white creature then slipped into a hole in the side of the tree. A big hole.
I gave it a wide berth. I didn't want to fall, but my need to see the Rabbit propelled me to the edge.
'Damn the dress' I thought, as I sat on my hands and knees peering into the thick blackness. I felt the soil on the sides give out before I could move.
I fell and let out a shriek. The small patch of blue sky shrunk from my sight as I watched cabinets and chairs whizz past me. Small lanterns decorated the walls I noticed as I fell. A grand piano shot up past me and yet another yell was tore from my throat. Bottles of honey and jam also floated lazily upward, as if they all wanted to see the sun as much as I.
The checkered pattern of a floor came into view and I braced myself for impact. The floor was hard and cold but the fall didn't hurt as much as I had thought. But with the new room came trouble.
It was a corridor with a multitude of doors on every side. Each one different than the last. One was a bright pink and had flowers on it that seemed to move with an nonexistent breeze. Another was thick and dark with black trimming. Many red splotches covered the doors and I was in no hurry to find where they came from.
It was when I tried to open the doors that the problem arose. They where all locked. I spun around and let out a scream, first I fall down a hole into some mystery castle, and all ways out are looked.
All the walls in the circular room was covered with doors but a thin rectangle covered with a pretty blue curtain. I stomped over to it and slid to the ground. As my bottom hit the tile a rattling sound filled the air.
I jumped away from the wall and threw away the sheet and saw a small passage. It could be no larger then my forearm. I stooped down and shook the tiny door handle but it to, like all the other doors in the room, was locked.
I threw up my hands in exasperation. I stomped my way back over to the pink door when a table blacked my path. I was so sure it was not there before. I looked around but nothing had changed.
My eyes widened when I saw a bronze key lying on a velvet pillow on the edge of the bureau. I shot around the room and every door refused to house the stupid key!
I was now beyond mad, the key would only open the small door, the one I could not fit through. I sunk to my bottom. Then went to put the key back.
I stopped in my tracks. A new object had appeared on the table, a small vile filled with light blue liquid and a note that read: DRINK ME. Well I most certainly was not going to drink it if it told me to!
I looked back at the door before picking up the small bottle. Well here goes nothing. I threw back a little drop of the spicy drink and tasted it. It was almost like berries, sweet yet still tangy.
I looked back at the key on e table and watched as it grew along with the table itself. I started to panic, why was everything growing?
Then I thought, everything was not growing, I was shrinking. I was silent as the potion finished. I realized then I was small enough to fit through the door.
I sprinted on my small legs to the door and started pulling, it must have relocated when I shut it the first time. I looked around the room for the key and moaned when I caught sight of it up on the table. I trekked back the the now larger bureau and jumped for the said key but I was just to small.
This day is just great!
A small piece of cake sat in the corner of the tables legs where I could not see it from above with yet another note that read: EAT ME. I walked slowly over to the treat and took a small handful and eat a bit.
My body than began to grow again but it did not stop at my normal hight, no, I only stopped growing when my head bumped my head on the painted ceilings.
So this is how it works! The drink shrinks you, and the cake makes you grow! I searched for the vile and picked it up in my large hands and raised it to my lips.
The smallest drop fell into my lips and I started to shrink again. I closed my eyes then opened them. The key sat not a foot away and I was also small enough to fit in the door.
I waddled to the passage and slid the key into the now good sized lock. It made a wonderful clicking noise and I ran to pull it open. I was met with resistance.
I walked back over to the cake, maybe if I grew a little bit I could push my way through the door. I took a small bite and felt myself growing. I knew I had eaten to much when my head smacked the painted ceilings.
I started crying. What else was I support to do? I will die down here and never be found. I didn't feel like getting up to drink the DRINK ME bottle. My tears had started leaking out of my eyes and pooling at my feet. I watched as my tears slid under the door.
I continued to cry till green caught my eye. It was the vile! I snatched it up and drank the remainder. I shouted with joy as I shrank. I ran to open the door.
My luck stopped there as I slipped on the slippery tear-covered floor. I fell into the void and expected floor but go a mouthful of water instead. They where salty and I could instantly tell they where my shed teardrops. I had almost drowned myself in my own tears!
(A/N: This is where I make the story my own!)
I started swimming, looking for land. You know how the saying goes. When life gives you an ocean of tears, swim in them.
I was so caught up in talking to myself I almost didn't see the island I had drifted to. It was rocky and red with dry bushes and pointy shards. I had luckily kept my shoes on threw the water.
I looked both ways and then looked ahead before stumbling backwards. In front of me sat the Rabbit. It held up its timer and seemed to grow. It's vest grew out and some brown trousers covered his long legs. His beautiful white fur reseeded and fell down his back in a sheer curtain of hair. He leaned forward.
"Your late."
