"I woke up in a room. How'd I get here? From the looks of it, it was like an elegant room. Marble floors gleamed on the ground as the room had trims of silver and gold. The walls were covered in a rich creamy white. "Hello?" I asked out loudly. There was a maid with no face. She left the room quietly, leaving me alone with my thoughts. "Well... that was unexpected. I wonder where I am." I got off from the bed and walked out to the curtains, swiftly moving them apart. Peering out to see the endless and beautiful trees of the woods. So.. I'm in the woods? This doesn't seem like my Chicago... "It beautiful..." I say breathlessly.
"Indeed. I am never let down by the scenes." I heard a man's voice. Abruptly, I turned in surprise, "Haha, no need to be surprised. I merely am checking up on you. It seems you appeared out of nowhere at the gate of my mansion." The man looked about in his 20s. Black hair, but I cant make out his eyes. They seemed like dark blue sapphires, he wore a top hat with a vine of rose on it. His white tail coat with trims of light gold made him look pure, but it seemed to deceive me as he told me who he was. "I am Blood Dupre. Head of the Hatter Mafia."
"E-excuse me? "I am very confused now "Oh no. I must've been drunk and sold my soul to the devil. EEEK! Or maybe this is a setup! And I'm actually going to be skinned alive because I did something! Noooo I don't want to lose my vir-".
Blood gave a tiring sigh. "So you really are an outsider... just like Alice." He grinned a little.
"Outsider? Alice?" I asked
"Welcome to Wonderland, you're in the Country of Clover, and yes, people who are from different worlds and end up in Wonderland are called outsiders. Alice is a person just like you." Blood explained.
Wow my head hurts now. "How- How did I end up here?" I asked. Oh god, Alice in Wonderland featuring me, Hazel Cuften.
"I'm not quite sure. Although, there's the possibility of entering Wonderland like how Alice did." He seemed to be in thought. "Or somehow, your consciousness found this place."
I gulped. "Is there a way back?" I asked
"Nightmare might know, or that old man, Julius." Blood answered.
"Who are they?" I asked.
Blood smiled. "You'll find out."
"Oh okay..." I said quietly. "I really hope... I can get home." I said.
"Why? Why would you want to go home?" He asked. Quiet interested.
"There's a man I knew... I wanted to tell him... I don't remember now... I wanted to tell someone something... I don't ever remember if it was some I knew or not." I closed my eyes. "I think it was a man in blonde hair... No was it black? I... I'm so confused now."
Blood placed a finger to my lips. "You talk too much. I think the move from a dimension to another twisted your memories into something that's not. It'll come back over time, until we can get you back to your world. You can stay here if you'd like."
"H-Here?" In a mansion that belongs to the mafia?
"Unless you have any other place you'd like to go?" Blood asked.
"No... I don't have anywhere else to go."
"Then that's fine." As Blood was going to leave. I called out to him.
"Hey Blood... Thanks. Thank you very much."
He tipped his hat and grinned, "Your welcome... Your name?"
"Hazel, Hazel Cuften." I smiled, then Blood left.
Man, this is gonna be a loooonnnggg day. I must be dreaming... I hope so. I can't live in this world, I'm so different.
