Alice's POV

I lay in my bed in the silence of the night, the gentle rocking of the boat as it sailed on the ocean's waves lulling me to sleep. A sword ending a beast's life. A river of blood and heads. What were these gruesome images in my mind? Red and white queens. A rabbit hole. At last I woke from these disturbing and puzzling thoughts and sat up in my bed in the lower deck. I slipped on my boots and walked onto the main deck that basked under the night sky with its white full moon and stars that twinkled in their dark canvas. I headed for the front of the ship and leaned my elbows on the edge. What were those images about? I pondered hard and long until a blue butterfly caught my eye, it landed on my shoulder and I stared at it for a moment then remembered. "Absalum." The creature fluttered away into the distance and the ocean breeze stirred my long curly blonde hair. How could I have done the same again? Like before, I had believed those said dreams to be only dreams when they were really memories of my prior time in Wonderland. I had done the same yet again, these said dreams I have been having were yet again memories of my recent time in Underland. The jabberwocky dying by my hand as I beheaded it with the vorpal sword. The red queen's blood filled moat as her victim's heads floated in it. The red and white queens at battle for the crown. Finally, the rabbit hole that started this adventure. This crazy, mad, wonderful adventure. Blurry figures appeared in my mind; two short, plump bald people, a floating cat, a dormouse, a hair, a bloodhound, and a big white creature with black spots.

"You won't remember me." I flinched at the mysterious yet painfully familiar words echoing in my mind. Who said those words to me? Whoever spoke them sounded absolutely heartbroken. I must have done something horrible to them to have made them so sad.

"Of course I will, how could I forget?" I gasped, that voice was my own but who did I say those words to? I thought harder to remember desperately who I had spoken these sorrowful words of apparent farewell, finally the face became clear and I gasped. Hatter! It was Hatter who had said those heartbreaking words to me and it was Hatter who I had said those words to. I was surprised when I felt a tear fall onto my hand. He had saved me from Stayne and many other times and I left him to return to earth. How could I have been so selfish? I left to accomplish things I had dreamed of when I didn't even come to think of how he and my other friends in Underland felt if I left. But I did anyway. I left that mad world behind, but it was a mad world that I had grown to love over the times I had been there. More tears I noticed slipped from my eyes. These said dreams I have been having were yet again memories of my recent time in Underland—and I thought they were simply dreams, I had made the very same mistake as I did before— The jabberwocky dying by my hand as I beheaded it with the vorpal sword. The red queen's blood filled moat as her victim's heads floated in it. The red and white queens at battle for the crown. Finally, the rabbit hole that started this adventure. This crazy, mad, wonderful adventure.

I am so excited for this fanfiction I hope you all enjoy it! XD
