Alice leaned against a tree, closing her violet eyes a moment to enjoy the cool breeze flowing through her long dark hair. It always felt refreshing. Getting away from reality and escaping to her own little world. The girl sat up in surprise, her deep purple eyes fluttering open as a soft melody reached her ears.

It was a melody she had heard before…but she just couldn't place it…..

"This song….is it calling to me?"

Alice had heard this melody somewhere….why did it seem so familiar?

A crash in the bushes disrupted her from her thoughts and she gave an annoyed huff.

So much for peace and quiet.

As she stood up and brushed off her blue and white dress she glanced around, trying to find the source of the noise.

Another crash caused her to snap her head in the direction of the noise. Alice's eyes widened in surprise as she saw a boy dash by her.

The boy himself hadn't shocked her, it was the black rabbit ears upon his head that drew her curiosity.

Wondering if she was still daydreaming, and drawn by her curiosity, Alice began to chase after the strange boy with rabbit ears. She saw his black cottontail dash around a corner and she followed close behind.

The rabbit's trail led her through the woods, getting a glance of him every so often. As Alice emerged into a clearing she glanced around with a frown.

Where was the rabbit?

A huge hole, a rabbit hole caught her attention, just several feet away from her.

She frowned a bit, leaning over a bit to peer into it. Did the rabbit go down here?

In a split second she lost her footing and with a gasp fell down into the depths of the hole. Alice's cries escaped from her mouth as she fell down the dark hole, broken pieces of furniture floating around her.

All of them were strange and twisted, certainly nothing like the furniture she would find in her world.

After falling for what seemed like an eternity, and after she nearly ran out of breath, Alice hit the floor hard. She grunted a bit from the impact before peeling herself off the black and red checkered floor.

The rabbit with a pocket watch….he had to have come down here…..

Alice got to her feet and begun to search for him.

After going down a hallway she came upon a tall black gate, beyond it was hidden in a dense fog. It was a strange sight but Alice gave a determined huff and approached the gate, hesitantly reaching out to touch the it. "Curiouser and curiouser." She said as she ran her hand down the black gate.

She jumped back a bit when it opened on its own, as if it were reacting to her touch, the thick fog seeping out of it. Alice faced it with determination and walked through.

After all it was only a dream right?

As she walked through the almost endless fog, the strange world seemed to appear slowly around her. The young girl's eyes widened as she looked upon this strange and wondrous world.

Colorful flowers, possessing faces watched her with narrowed eyes. Insects that looked like dragons and rocking horses whizzed by just in front of her eyes. The sound of the closing of a pocket watch caused her to turn around and face the one who had brought her here.

There stood the boy, smiling widely at her. He had blonde short hair and emerald eyes, he wore a long green and gold coat with white breeches and black shoes. His face had a very positive air to it and a friendly look shone in his eyes.

Alice gave an annoyed huff as she crossed her arms, "Where have you led me you stupid rabbit?"

The boy simply grinned, "Hello to you to Alice! My name's Oz, welcome to Wonderland!" He said cheerfully.

Alice was not amused, at least the pest had answered her question. She frowned a bit at the rest of his answer. "How…do you know my name?!"

He kept his cheerful grin, "Weeell actually I've been watching you for couple days for now, to see if you were the right Alice."

"What do you mean "the right Alice"?" She asked, stomping over to him. She would show him right.

His grin faded a bit. "Well….you see…Wonderland needs your help and if you're the right Alice…" He grinned "Then you're the one destined to save us!" Alice frowned. "I didn't decide to save anyone, this place isn't even real…is it?"

"Well you can decide whether to believe if it's real or not." Oz said with a smile.

Alice crossed her arms, this boy was annoying, he seemed way to cheerful. She still kept her unamused look as he lead her through the Wonderland jabbering on about this and that. In all honesty she stopped paying attention long ago.

When the boy stopped, only then did she regain attention. "What's wrong?" She said with a pout as his black ears twitched. "Hey! Can't you hear me?!" He quickly grabbed her hand and began to run as a huge black dog burst through the clearing.

Alice's eyes widened in shock, so that was it. She looked at the dog in shock, It was larger than a horse and was pitch black all over. It had red glowing eyes and a mouthful of sharp teeth with slobber dripping from them as it growled an abnormal growl.

"That's the bandersnatch Alice, run!" Oz ran, desperately trying to get her out of there.

Alice's heart pounded with fear as the huge black dog chased after them, drool dripping down from it's monstrous jaws. Along with the appearance of the Bandersnatch, several trumps emerged out of nowhere and begun to pick up creatures left and right.

Alice watched with a wide eye, what were they doing? Oz let out a cry of help as he too was grabbed by one of the trumps. Alice almost cried out herself, she couldn't lose her guide! Who would help her survive this mad world? How would she find her way?

"Oz!" She reached for him but he shook his head, even though concern shone in his green eyes.

"Alice! I'll be fine! Just head for the white queen's castle! And whatever you do, stay away from the Red Queen!" He managed to yell before he was dragged away, trying to get loose.

Before Alice could say anything she was knocked down to the ground, four claw marks running down her arm. The bandersnatch had hurt her no doubt. Alice cried out in pain but quickly managed to get to her feet.

She ran, Alice didn't care where, just away from that thing. Once she was safe, she sat down on a rock with a sigh, holding her wound, crimson leaking between her fingers. She grit her teeth in frustration. She was injured, had lost her guide and was now lost in this Wonderland. Why was this happening to her?
