PROLOGUE/CHAPTER ONEISH

He had black shoes, polished so they shined. He had green pants pinstriped with bright purple- the colours clashed alarmingly, he had a jacket in similar style. His shirt was a baby blue and he sported a ridiculous spotted cravat which was mainly blue with small yellow spots in-between the larger purple ones. Atop his head was a mess of black hair except for a mop which crossed over his face , it was a silvery white colour-he constantly pushed it back. Upon the wild hair precariously sat a black top hat, it was wider at the top and thinner at the bottom where a Christmas style ribbon was tied, tucked into which was a 10/6 price label. The man had green eyes bright, shining and sparkling with his apparently always present glee. The man pranced about looking careless as his too-long legs carried him through a beautiful land splashed with stunning colours under the radiant sun. Everything suddenly shattered like a million pieces of glass, the shards glittering as they fell through the sudden darkness.

Alice Kingsleigh woke with a start.
''Just a dream,'' She shuddered, ''just a dream''
Although part of her wished otherwise... Dreams of the land had plagued her ever since...ever since she could remember. Just last night a ridiculous rabbit had hopped near a sapphire lake, he was wearing a waistcoat and constantly looked at a golden pocket watch with a worried expression saying: ''too late, she's far too late!'' and then even more worriedly ''I'm so late!'' and scampering off as fast as his little legs could carry him before the scene was drowned in the lakes gushing water. The man with his hat appeared the most and whichever dream he appeared in ended the most dramatically because despite his crazy appearance he seemed so real.

She wondered if she was mad. Nobody else had the same dream- or at least dreams about the same things-every night did they?

Alice got out from her warm bed, her room wasn't cold but in the dark she shivered. After splashing herself with cold water she ran a small bath and soaked in it washing her hair and as she did so calming herself. She lay there for some time remembering how when she was little she told everyone of her strange land but as she grew older it was said to be improper of a young lady with an upbringing such as hers to let her mind wander about such silly and impossible things and so she ceased talking of such things and just as she did so her memories faded and she could no longer remember the place that she used to call... she couldn't even remember that. Only that she so believed it was real.

She quickly wrapped a towel about herself and brushed her hair so that she could look presentable. She was a pretty girl of 16, she had long, golden-blonde hair which reached, curling to the middle of her back she had soft features, gently rounded cheeks and a softly curved chin-she had a small nose and was considered very pretty by most, despite that and the fact that she was almost of marrying age a suitor had yet to catch her eye and she had yet to be caught in the eye of a suitor. This was possibly because she was more than anything else in love with her dreams.

Alice dressed and was soon down to breakfast just as it was being served; she quickly ate barely tasting the food. Not being able to stand still she went outside trying to figure out the name of the place which she still could not remember nor fathom how she could forget. So consumed was she in thought that she stumbled, tripping over a too-large rabbit hole, it was strangely familiar but not being able to recognise it she filed it away to think of later, right now she wanted not to think at all.

Alice loved her family dearly but she barely spoke to them, it wasn't purposeful as she was mostly outside exploring or just spending time on her own nothing interested her of this world not that she hated it but in comparison to the dream world of hers, she found it strangely bland, boring, colourless because the other world seemed better everything was brightly coloured, the weather was always perfect and something of the characters she dreamed of attracted her even more. whilst everyone here was always quite content doing nothing Alice was not!

She sat down some distance from the house and lay down closing her eyes feeling the warmth of the uncommonly sunny day, she let her mind go blank. Everything went black.''Too late!''
