THIS IS THE FIRST CHAPTER OF MY SEQUEL, IT IS MY VERSION OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN WONDERLAND, HOPE YOU ALL LOVE IT! :D

The Wonderland Tragedy

Stars fell from the dark night skies, like balls; causing huge explosions when they came to contact with the hard earth.

Wonderlandians shrieked and screamed, not knowing what to do; they were lost, they were trapped with no place to go.

"This will show them," the Evil Queen, Raven's mother smiled as she sent more balls of light towards Wonderland's earth, killing anything it touched, plant life and even Wonderlandian life. "I will rule this place along with the rest of Ever After."

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Kitty Cheshire screamed as she looked for her father. Where was he, she thought.

He was right by her side moments ago, telling her that she was going to be safe.

"Daddy!" she let out again, hoping this will get the attention of her father wherever he was, he still didn't come.

Maybe he's never coming back, she thought yet again. Maybe it's just me now, no mum, no dad, just me.

She started to cry, she didn't care who saw her, she wanted her mum back, she wanted her dad back most of all, but they were not here; her mum was probably in the Heart Castle but her dad...

"Kitty, Kitty dear, where are you?" the voice came.

It brought joy to Kitty even as molten rocks hit the earth around her, he was alive, not dead, very much alive.

"Daddy!" she jumped.

"Yes, dear, I'm here, no one's gonna hurt you," he said.

Kitty looked at his face, there was something different, same lavender hair, same blue feline eyes, same cat ears (she on the other hand had human ears, inheriting them from her mother, who was one of the Queen of Heart's most trusted advisors), same...no not the same, his lips, he was not smiling, he was not grinning; he was frowning, the first time since Kitty had almost sunk in a pit, her father was frowning.

"Dad, are we going to be ok?" she asked although she knew the answer, she had to hear it from him.

"I hope so my dear, I really do, now let's get to the Heart Castle."

"To find mum?"

"Yes, and also to find a way out."

Vanilla Rabbit had been awaken by the loud noises, she rushed to her parents' room; she knew it was rude to go there without knocking but she felt the loud noise was serious.

They weren't there, where were they?

"Vanilla, honey, are you awake?" her mother asked with an urgent voice.

"Yes Mother," she said rubbing her eyes.

"Good, because we have to leave right now," her father, the White Rabbit said.

"Why?" Vanilla asked as she hopped down the stairs.

"Because Wonderland is being attacked!" the White Rabbit exclaimed.

"What?!" Vanilla asked with shock. "Why? Who? How?" So many questions.

"By the Evil Queen, dearest, we have to go to the Heart Castle right now!" her mother said and held her hand.

"Can I get my stuff?" Vanilla asked. Such a stupid question, they were in a middle of a crisis and she wanted to get her stuff.

"Just hurry, ok," her dad said to her surprise.

She dashed upstairs with rabbit speed and in less than five minutes she was packed and had everything she needed.

Her parents already had their belongings, more tremors and bright light, one hit their vegetable patch outside.

"Let's go now!" her dad shouted.

Vanilla and her parents rushed outside and they entered the forest with pace, her dad being one of the Queen's trusted servants knew all the shortcuts to the Heart Castle, one was close to the Weeping Tree, the very place the first Alice had cried when she was lost.

They were getting close, other bright rock hit the ground almost knocking Vanilla off her feet.

"Mum? Dad? Are we going to be ok?" she asked.

"We are dear, we are," the White Rabbit said as he checked his watch, always checking his watch.

"There it is!" her mother said with glee.

Vanilla saw it, a door in a tree leading to the Heart Castle, she saw those card guards who she found extremely scary, even though they were just cards, they could make a girl scream for her mother, like the first time she saw them.

"Vanilla, we are going to be safe," her dad said again and they stepped into the light on the other side, the Heart Castle fifteen massive hops away.

Madeline Hatter was enjoying tea with her father, the March Hare, his daughter May Hare, the Dormouse and his son Daniel Dormouse when the bright stars began to fall from the sky, at first they all thought they were displays and smiled, but then when one landed close to their tea party and it had destroyed the plants under it, that's when Maddie knew this was not a display.

"We're under attack," May said. "By the Evil Queen."

May had this unique ability of knowing things before others around her did, her hazel hair moved with the wind, it had deep streaks of red, blue and purple.

"Then we have to leave," the March Hare said, getting all serious.

"To the Heart Castle?" the Dormouse asked even though he knew the answer.

"Let's go then, the Queen will know what to do about that royal snake," the Mad Hatter said.

They all packed very quickly, stuffing their belongings in unbelievable places, now they were good to go.

They all began to walk and then they started to run, more and more hot rocks were coming down and as Maddie noticed, some kind of smoke was coming out of the rocks.

She didn't go near it, she knew that whatever the Evil Queen conjured up was meant for destruction and pure evil.

"Those rocks are releasing poisonous smoke, the Queen intends to turn as all mad!" May shrieked.

"But May, haven't you forgotten, we are already mad!" Daniel laughed and did a goofy look to illustrate what he meant, black hair as dark as the starless nights.

He looked handsome, Maddie had to admit, she had had a teeny-tiny crush on him when they were nursery-rhymes, but now that had faded.

"No stupid, it's meant to make as like evil mad, do the Queen's bidding, she will use us and take over other lands," May said as she helped her dad.

"WHAT!" Maddie shouted.

"Mads, it's ok, I'm here," Daniel said as he held her hand.

Maddie couldn't resist and she blushed, hoping the darkness hid it.

More and more stars fell with lightning speed, some missing them by an inch.

"We have to get to the Heart Castle, NOW!" the Mad Hatter said and hurried Maddie who let go off Daniel's brown hand.

"Look over there," the Dormouse said quietly. "It's the White Rabbit and his family."

Maddie turned to see them, Vanilla, the daughter of the White Rabbit looked like she was crying or something like that, or was it just sweat, Maddie looked closely; she was crying..

"There it is!" Vanilla's mother cried out.

They all turned to see a door open in a tree, it was one of those shortcuts only the queen's servants knew about.

"Let's go in with them," the March Hare said.

"Agree to agree," the Mad Hatter replied and they all followed Vanilla's family through the door.

Lizzie Hearts was in bed secretly reading a book when the door opened and she switched her glass torch off.

"My Princess, the Queen needs you in the Throne Room, immediately," the Ace said.

"Oh okay," Lizzie replied and then she said again in the royal manner, "Please do tell the Queen that I will be there soon."

The Ace waited, so she had to go with him, that's when Lizzie became aware of the bright light outside and the tremors.

"Is my mother holding a display," Lizzie asked smiling, she loved the displays the Queen arranged, they were so lovely and so wonderlandiful.

"No, my Princess, Wonderland is being attacked," the Ace said with dread.

"Attacked!? By whom I may ask?" Lizzie said.

"By the Evil Queen, my Princess."

"What? Why is that evil sorceress doing this, Wonderland has never done anything to her," Lizzie said with anger, women from the Heart Family were known for their rage and after that their condemnation of anyone who angered them.

"My Princess, she seeks to rule Wonderland."

"But that's my mother's job, and she's doing a lovely job indeed, she can't just come here and except to rule just like that!"

"She's evil and she's after power, but Princess your mother and father need you now," the Ace said immediately. "Also they said pack your belongings."

Lizzie did as she was told and carried her luggage along with her as she entered the Throne Room, her mother and father on their thrones..

"Hello, my Princess," the Queen of Hearts said with a smile.

"Good evening Mother, good evening Father," Lizzie greeted.

"As you are already clear on, we are being attacked," her father said.

"Yes I heard, by the Evil Queen," Lizzie said.

"Yes, that royal pain in the, mind my improper language, backside is out to get this land and I wouldn't stand for it," her mother said angrily.

"So we will confront her?" Lizzie asked.

"Yes we will, but you will not be with me and your father when we do."

"Oh okay, so I should go back to my room?"

"Lizzie, don't you understand my precious, Wonderland isn't safe anymore, you have to leave," the Queen commented.

"You mean we have to leave," Lizzie replied.

"No, I and your father aren't leaving, we are staying to protect Wonderland."

"I'll stay with you then."

"Lizzie, no, you will go through the portal and be safe on the other side."

"What!? No mother, father speak some sense into her!"

"My dear, you know as well as I do that nothing will change her mind," the King of Hearts replied.

"Then, I'm not going, I'm staying whether you like it or not," Lizzie said as she folded her arms.

"Lizzie, what do I always say..." the Queen began.

"A princess must always listen to her Queen and King no matter what," Lizzie and her mother said together.

"I know, mother but-" Lizzie started but was cut off by her mother.

"Lizzie, if you don't go, then the citizens of Wonderland can't go as well."

"Pardon me mother?"

"The portal activates only to your voice, if you stay, all the Wonderlandians will perish," her father added.

"Why? No! Please! You could change it," Lizzie begged.

"Lizzie you must leave right now, thousands of Wonderlandians are heading towards this castle, to the portal, if you don't get there and activate it then they will DIE!" her mother almost shouted.

"I can't leave you and father," Lizzie said hoping this might change their minds.

"Yes you can and you will, those Wonderlandians will need someone to lead them when they get out of here and you are the only one who can do that, understand that my little angel."

Lizzie dropped her head, it had already been decided, "Ok Mother."

The card guards rushed Lizzie to the portal, so many Wonderlandians were standing there, looking at her, at the guards.

Lizzie tried to find someone she knew and she did, there was Kitty Cheshire and her parents,Vanilla Rabbit and her parents, Madeline Hatter and her dad, May Hare and Daniel Dormouse and their fathers, she knew these tales so well, they were good friends.

"Your Majesty, the portal," a seven of clubs said.

Lizzie walked to the portal and said a simple word: Mother, that wasn't the password since if she said any word it would still open but she wanted to say that word.

The portal shimmered and glowed and the other side could clearly be seen, it looked beautiful with wildlife and trees.

"Everyone get in," Lizzie ordered.

The Wonderlandians did as told, two by two or sometimes threes or fours they went into the portal.

"Lizzie," her mother's voice said.

Lizzie turned and hugged her mother.

"You can still come, you and father," she said.

"It's our duty to protect Wonderland," her mother responded. "Now go!"

There was a scream, and Lizzie turned to see a huge eagle pick up Mr. Cheshire, Kitty's dad.

"Daddy!" Kitty screamed, she was about to disappear and follow but her mum held her back, she fell to the floor sobbing.

"I love you honey," his voice could be heard.

Kitty looked and saw that the eagle dropped him, but he was so far away, almost on the other side of Wonderland, he might never make it.

"Let's go Kitty," her mother said.

Kitty held her mum's hand and walked into the portal.

Vanilla saw everything from this side of the portal, the eagle picking up Kitty's dad and dropping him somewhere on the other side of Wonderland, Kitty was on the floor crying and her mother picked her up and they walked into the portal, appearing in front of her.

"Kitty," she said and Kitty gave Vanilla a hug.

"I lost him, Vanny," she said.

"No you didn't when we come back, you will see him again," Vanilla said as she tried to calm her down, Maddie appeared by her side along with May and Daniel.

"She's right Kitty, everything will be alright, he will come back, he's a fighter, never taken down," Maddie said.

"He's one of a kind," May added.

"He will come back, don't worry Kit" Daniel said.

"Thank you guys," Kitty said but her head was still on Vanilla's shoulder.

"Lizzie, time to go, I don't want that eagle to come back and get you," the Queen said.

"Mot-" Lizzie began.

"Not other word, get into the portal, now, I could be right behind you."

Lizzie gave a faint smile, picked her luggage up and entered the portal, she appeared by the crying Kitty and put her hand on her.

After a few seconds she looked at the portal, her mother was smiling at her.

"Mother, you can come out," Lizzie said. "Come!"

"Lizzie you know as well as I do that I can't," the Queen of Hearts commented as she unsheathed her sword.

"No mother, come, please, we need you, I need you."

"I know you do, but-"

"But nothing it's either you come or I come back."

"Wonderland needs me and you know it, Lizzie."

"Wonderland-" she didn't get to finish, the portal closed and her mother disappeared.

She had tricked her, her mother had tricked her into closing the portal.

"Wonderland, Wonderland, Wonderland, Wonderland!" Lizzie screamed but the portal didn't open it was closed forever.

Lizzie fell to the ground, tears streaming from her eyes.

"No, mother, no."

Lizzie snapped out of her nightmare, and gasped, was she in Wonderland, no she was in school, Wonderland had been sealed for a long time.

Kitty and Maddie awoke with a start both screaming from what they had experienced in their dreams.

"I had a dream about Wonderland!" they both said. "You too!"

Vanilla woke up with sweat on her forehead, that was a bad dream, a very bad dream she hoped never ever after repeated itself.

May opened her eyes and screamed, that was awful, too awful.

"May, are you alright?" Willow asked.

"Yeah, just had a very bad dream."

Daniel felt his body shake as he floated away from his dream, his dream about Wonderland, the day they escaped, his dark skin reflected the moon's glow, he was sweating; he hoped the dream would not come back.

For some strange reason, every Wonderlandian in the school, and the whole of Ever After had the same dream, the Wonderland Tragedy, the day of the escape, for some unexplainable reason, they also knew that another Wonderlandian must have experienced it with them.

Lizzie closed her teal eyes and tears came out, she missed him and her so much, especially her, her mother, the very person who had tricked her into closing the portal, the very same person who sacrificed herself to save so many.

"I miss you Mummy," she said and then fell asleep.
