YAAHOOOOO! HELLO THERE PEOPLES OF FANFICTION! I CURENTY AM HAVING A BIT OF WRITERS BLOCK ON MY MAIN STORY: 'Two Girls in Heartland'. SOOOOO WHILE THINKING OF SOME IDEAS, I GOT INSPERATIOIN FOR THIS NEW STORY: 'So This Is Wonderland'
I must warn you though, I'm not 100% sure I'll ever complete this story. And I have absolutely no clue where I'm going with it since I haven't fully thought it out yet, teehee XD.
And just as a heads up it will be slightly confusing at some moments, so here are some things you should know about my new character: Rachelle Armstrong
-Rach (nickname) has two separate personalities/minds named Leah, and Elle (due to horrible accident)
-Rach's P.O.V. will change along with eye color when either Leah or Elle 'take control'. (Leah eye color= dark blue, Elle eye color=purple, Rach=bright green)
-Rach, Leah, and Elle have (of course) very different personalities:
Rach: rational, slightly cocky, strong willed, serious, stubborn, observant, blunt, has no imagination.
Leach: short-tempered, foul mouth, strong, hates losing, love fighting, violent, cold, (tsundere).
Elle: shy, considerate, loving, caring, mischievous, air head, girly, oblivious.
-They (Rach, Leah, and Elle) tend to have a lot of mental arguments mostly revolving around whether or not to stay in Wonderland and the different opinions they each have on the different role holders.
(Also, if it help, try not to think about it to hard)
…
So yes, I'm not really sure where the hell I'm going with this one, but I still hope you guys like it all the same^^

Ch 1. A Forest of Doors
Rachelle's P.O.V.
I sighed walking home from another glorious day at the living hell all grown ups call: school. It was finally Friday and I was beat after a long and monotonous 2 weeks of mid-terms, and I was ready to go home, get out of my ugly school uniform, and drink some root bear to my heart's content in celebration of (no doubt) passing those annoying 5 hour long tests.
I know, I know, most mid-terms are only, like, and hour or so, but at my prep school, each test is 5 hours long and before that a 3 hour prep test. Today was my Language Arts exam, and I was feeling pretty damn confident about this one. I mean I was the smartest kid in my grade after all.
Don't get cocky dumbass, don't forget it was me who took the test, not you. Leah warned. I rolled my eyes.
Well excuse me, your highness, but in a way, you are me. I pointed out too the annoyingly stubborn, foulmouthed voice in my head.
Don't you dare say I'm you, you moron! I'm a completely different person then you, you brown haired bimbo!
Technically speaking you are me, and do you even know what a 'bimbo' is?
Just shut up! She shouted. I smirked victoriously as I made my way to the front gate of a large four-story mansion.
Umm, could you two please calm down and not fight for once? A shy Elle voiced into our little spat.
I smiled and nodded. Sorry Elle.
Out of the two 'voices' inside my head, I like Elle the best. Yes, I did say I had voices inside my head, and they're a perfectly good explanation for that…sort of.
You know how some people have two personalities, well it's the same thing for me, only I have three. I, Rachelle Anderson, am the original. When I was five I was in a horrible car crash when my parents SUV was struck by lightning and ran into a tree. The doctors say that the lightning hit me and sparked something inside my head, and before I new it, I had two other 'people' living inside of me. I know, it's a bad explanation, but it's the only one I really have. (This is really hard to explain, and sounds so much better in my head XD)
It's like having three different brains in one head and each one is constantly fighting for control/dominance over the other two. Right now I'm currently in control, and I should be since I was here first.
I opened the door and walked into the large empty mansion and made my way up the stares. As I went down the hall to my room I passed by the only other person living in the mansion, the butler, James.
James is a lot like a grandfather to me, more so than he is a butler, and is a very loyal one at that. Both my parents died in that horrible car crash and my aunt took custody of me. But she never came to get me. Instead, she decided to stay in California, only coming on holidays and such. Don't get me wrong, she still loves me all the same, she's just busy.
Anyways, not long after I started talking about Leah and Elle, all the other servants quite because they didn't want to take care of an "insane" 5 year old.
But not James. No, he stayed by my side and believed me about Leah and Elle. He had made a promise to my parents a long time ago that he would look after me if anything had happened to them and was determined to live up to his promise.
In a way, it's like having Alfred from Batman around. He even looks like him.
"Welcome home miss," he paused looking at my eyes, "Rachelle. I trust the exams went well?" he asked in a British accent, like all the classic butler's in the movies. I nodded and smiled softly.
When ever either Leah or Elle gains control, my eye color changes. Like for instance right now, my eyes are a bright shade of green. Elle's eyes are a soft sort of purple, and Leah has cold dark blue hues.
"Yes I- I mean we- are all pretty confident about them." He nodded.
"Today was the Language Arts exams, was it not? I trust that miss Leah did very well."
Sure as hell bet I did! I heard Leah shout excitedly.
Leah you know he can't hear you…Elle sighed. I sweat dropped and nodded.
"Yeah. Believe me, she's pretty confident about it, that's for sure." I mumbled. James let out a small chuckle and nodded. James here is also only other person, besides my Aunt Clair, who knows about Leah and Elle. Everyone else just assumes that I'm crazy and won't approach me.
"Well then, I'll be assuming you've be having root beer tonight?" he asked and I nodded. "Very well then, I'll prepare some along with a few snacks to celebrate another victory on your exams." He said before walking away.
"Thanks, James!" I called back and I walked down the hall to my room.
…
I changed out of my boring navy blue blazer, white blouse, and navy blue with teal checkered skirt into a green and white flower pattern sleeveless top with white shinny jeans, a brown belt, and white sneakers.
I put my shoulder length chocolate brown hair into a loose side ponytail and put on some green mascara.
Uhgggg. Do you really need to put on that hideous mascara? Leah complained. I just decided ignored her and continued to apply it. Once I had put on at least three or four layers of green mascara I took a step back and looked at myself in the mirror.
'Not to bad.' I thought, and turned around and stepped into the hallway only to find myself no longer inside my mansion.
I looked down and noticed I was at least seven feet off the ground. In a tree. In a flipping tree!
"What the hell?" I asked calmly. I turned around and sure enough, my room was still there. I took a step back into my room and closed the door.
You…guys saw that as well, right?
Of course we fudging saw that! What the hell is going on?
Maybe we should try that again…Elle said nervously. I nodded and opened up the door again, but sure enough, we were still in a tree, in a forest, in God knows where!
"Okay, okay. Just got to stay calm, I'm sure this is perfectly normal, or, we've been drugged, or something. There has to be a good logical explanation for all this."
This. Is. Not. Normal.
"I know that, but seriously, we have to remain calm." I said sternly. I looked around but all I could see were a bunch of trees with doors on them.
"What is this place?" I asked myself.
"The forest of doors." I heard a voice reply. I looked up and saw a boy with purple hair and cat ears just lazily lying on a branch above me. I let yelped in surprise and fell.
I landed on my but and when I looked up, the door had closed and disappeared. I stared at where the door to my bedroom had once been. My eye twitched.
"What. The. Hell." I mumbled.
"Haha onee-san looks funny sitting there like that." I heard a voice laugh from behind me.
Turned around to see two twin boys with large axes standing there right behind me. The cat boy from before jumped down from his branch and landed on the ground with ease.
"Who the hell are you people, and where the hell am I?" I asked sternly.
"I told you, you're in the Forest of Doors~" the cat boy teased. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Not cute. Now really, where exactly am I?" he frowned at my comment.
"You're in Wonderland, duh." My eyes widened. No way. There's way no way. Wonderland didn't exist; it's just a story.
"Oi, are you alright? Heeellloooo!" the cat boy waved his hand in front of my face and I growled slapping his hand a way. I stood up and glared at the purple haired teen.
"No, seriously, where the hell am I?" I asked getting annoyed.
Let me come out, I'll set them straight. Leah said. I shook my head.
No. Not yet anyways, if they won't tell us the truth, then we walk away. The last thing we need is for you to get us into trouble. I argued.
Wimp… Leah huffed. I was snapped out of my mental argument with Leah when I noticed the cat boy sniffing me.
"What the hell! Not coo!" I shouted taking a step back.
"Hmmm…you smell like Alice only a little bit different. Hey," he said grinning, "I know. You're an outsider!" he exclaimed. I looked at him offended.
"And just what is that supposed to mean?" I asked calmly crossing my arms.
"It means you're not from around here." I rolled my eyes boredly.
"Well, yes, I don't ever remember opening up my bedroom door to another dimension. Honestly what is this? Twitches? " I asked suddenly remembering the old Disney movie when those two twin witch girls opened up a closet door or what ever and found themselves in another dimension.
The cat boy cocked his head to the side not getting my Disney reference. I shook my head.
"Never mind. But seriously, where am I?"
"Hey already told you, onee-san," one of the twins (red) said latching onto one of my arms.
"You're in Wonderland!" his brother (blue) finished latching onto my other arm. My eye twitched with annoyance. I wasn't exactly the biggest fan of kids. Well, basically, I didn't really like anyone below the age of 12.
"Let go now." I said coldly. The frowned but listened.
I think that may have been a bit harsh. Elle sighed. Of course it was harsh in her eyes. Mostly because Elle was such a softy, especially when it came to kids or anything cute.
'Whatever,' I thought. It was really no big deal. I turned my attention back to cat boy and frowned.
"If I'm really in Wonderland, than how come I didn't fall down a rabbit hole or something?" I asked boredly. He shrugged.
"This is the Forest of Doors, like I said earlier. These doors can connect to anywhere and take you to the place where you desire to be the most." He said trying to sound mysterious.
"I didn't want to come here, I wanted to be down in my living room watching The Mentalist and chugging root beer." I deadpanned.
"Maybe that's what you were thinking you wanted to do, but your subconscious thought differently~" he mused.
"No, I highly doubt it."
You two better not have wished for this! I shouted.
Of course we didn't!
I-I don't think I wished for something like this either… I sighed and looked around. It was obvious nether one of them was lying, mainly because I know when they are. Don't know how, I just do.
"Hey, are you listening?" I snapped out of my thoughts and blinked. "Man, do you always space out this much?" cat boy asked. I shrugged.
"Sometimes. You were saying."
"Right, I'm Boris Airay, and these two are Dee and Dum. I was just explaining how you can leave, since its quite obvious you want to be here right now." He seemed almost sad saying that.
"Oh, okay, well I'm Rachelle Armstrong, but you can call me Rach, Leach, or Elle. So you were saying about how to leave?" he nodded.
"Check your pockets." I frowned, but did so anyways. I pulled out a clear glass vile with a heart shaped stopper and red liquid inside.
Where the hell did that come from?!
No clue… I turned to Boris and raised my eyebrow. "That is the medicine of Hearts. You have to drink it in order to play the game." He said.
"What game?"
"The game that all outsiders play. You just have to drink the medicine and interact with the inhabitants of this world. As you do that, the liquid will refill and when it has reached the top, you can choose to leave or stay." Boris explained.
"That's not possible. What were to happen if I were to choose not to play?" I asked skeptically. Boris looked down and pointed to my arm.
"That." He said blankly. I looked down and noticed my arm-no-my whole body starting to fade in and out.
"W-what!?" my eyes widened.
"If you don't drink the potion, you'll fade. You won't return to your world either, you'll just disappear." He said sadly.
This isn't possible. It can't be possible. I shook my head and looked at the bottle. 'Play some weird game I know nothing about or fade into nothing. Is there a third option?'
Rach. Drink the damn potion. Now.
I agree with Leah. I don't wanna fade!
I looked back down at my hand. I sighed. My only option was quiet clear. I pulled off the heart shaped stopper and drank the medicine.
I started coughing immediately afterwards. God that tasted horrible…
Good thing I didn't have to taste it, and why the hell did it take you so damn long to decide to drink it?
I sweat dropped trying to think of a good excuse, which I couldn't come up with, so I just decided not to reply.
I looked down at my hand and saw that the fading had stopped and my whole body was solid again.
"Good…" I mumbled and turned my attention to Boris, who was smiling like an idiot. "So what else do I need to know about this game I'm now playing?" I asked. Boris just shrugged.
"In all honesty, what I told you was all I really knew. But I sure some off the other role holders might be able to explain the basics to you."
"What's a role holder?"
"The people with faces." I frowned.
"There are people without faces?"
"Yep. Now your getting it~"' he smiled giving me a thumbs up. My mind now think: SLENDER MAN!
My aunt gave Leach that game since she's into all those horror movies and stuff, so she decided played it around midnight. After a few short minutes, I took control again, shut the game off, chucked it out the window and didn't sleep for the next few nights.
"But, you don't need to worry about them there not really that important since they don't have a face." He said casually. I frowned.
I don't know why but just the way he said that, that the faceless people were 'not important' just because they don't have a face, just really irritated me.
"Hey! Boss can explain onee-san!" Dee said.
"Yeah onee-san, Boss is really good at explaining things!" Dum said agreeing with his brother. And before I could even begin to protest, the twin once again grabbed both my arms and started to drag me down a random path to God knows where with Boris trailing behind.
Okay so that's Chapter 1 of 'So this is Wonderland'. Please let me know what you think so far, and I sincerely apologize if this sucked, because this only just popped into my head and don't know where the heck I'm going with it.
So…yeah…I'll try to improve as the story goes on…hopefully…
Please R&R~
