14 year old Alex was sitting in the garden in the huge backyard. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a purple dress with silver leggings, and black ballet flats, and she had a violet flower in her hair. She was allways outside, and was the odd one, comared to her two sisters. She spent more time with her black cat Magik and her white fox Luna than with people, was awefuly shy, and hardly ever said a word. Her mother had allways told her about how her sister alice had just, well, vanished one day, and how she hoped Alex woud never do the same. She knew she would never do such a thing... but little did she know that fate had a different idea...
Alexs POV I sat in the garden, my fox friend Luna and my kitten Magik beside me as we layed under the cherry tree. I was making crowns out of flowers when i heard a noise. I looked around, and spotted a peculiar looking white rabbit wearing specticles! I watched as it dissapeared, and i followed. Magik hopped up onto my shouder and i cradled luna as we quietly and quickly chased the rabbit. It dissapeared into some long grass, and when i followed, i screamed... i was fLling down a hole!
I felt like i had been falling for an hour when i noticed a man with white hair, rabbit ears and specticles. Magik hissed at him, making me warry. "My, my, looks like youll have to split the medicine." Was all he said, and we hit the griund. I dusted myself off, craddling luna and magik close as he handed me a glass bottle. "Its just medicine, drink it. Im Peter by the way, Peter White." Peter sad, and i took the bottle. Only after luna and magik drank some of the liquid did i dare drink any, i trusted my friends more than i trusted this man... peter... it tasted like strawberries, and sugar and chocolate.
Peter smiled as he said "if only our dear alice woud have been more like you!" I froze as I asked "a-alice... m-my auntie alice?! M-Mum said she d-dissap-peared when th-they were y-younger" my blue eyes sparkled with curiosity, and magik climbed up on my shoulder, and luna dissapeared into the small bag of black i allways carried. Peter took my hand, and i followed him into this strange new land of wonder.
A knight walked over, and I couldnt help it, I hid behind peter. Ace looked at peter as he said "you found a new girl? That was quicker than getting alice here was." I peeked out at ace, as magik climbed into my bag. Ace smiled, and i slowly came out from hiding behind Peter. "I'm Ace! Pleasure to meet you- er, whats your name?" Ace asked, looking at me. "A-Alex N-Nightshade" I say, looking down at my feet. Ace and peter walked with me down a path until we came to a mansion. Two boys, who must have been my age and were almost identical, stood at the gate "Ooo! Can we play with the outsider? Can we, can we?!" They said, and I found myself hiding behind peter again. "Maybe later, but were here for her to meet Alice, Blood, and Eliot..." Ace said quickly, and the twins frowned. "Well, were coming to! Im Dee, and this is Dum!" Said Dee.
When we arivd at the mansion, i looked at it... it was as big as ours back home, allthough a bit wireder, and i liked it instantly. A woman with brown blonde hair and blue eyes greeted us, and i recognised her as a slightly older Alice from the pictures Mum had. "A-alice?" I squeaked, looking at her. I realised she was pretty, nt like mum but in a different way... Alice smiled at me "you are?" Peter was the one to speak first and aaid "she is your neice." Alices demanor changed, and she hugged me. I felt glad to see someone i knew i could trust in this world that was scaring me...
Peter and Ace and Dee and Dum all walked behind us as Alice took me to a lavishly furnished room. A man who looked eeirily similar to my father sat on the couch, as did a man with orange-ish blonde hair and rabbits ears. "Peter! You fool! You brough another little girl!" The other rabbit guy said, and i flinched, hiding behind my aunt. "Eliot! Stop it this instant! This girl i my niece, and shes allready here and taken the medicine. You know the rules of the game!" Alice said, putting and arm around me and pulling me out from hiding. I nervously watched them, shaking slightly from nerves. I wanted to run, to hide and never have to be seen. Luna poked her head out of my bag and i craded her in my arms, her warmth helping calm my nerves.
I sat on the couch between alice and peter. I had learned all about this place, which was called the Cuntry of Hearts. Alice was in love with Blood, who owned the manor, and had chosen to stay instead of go back to the real world. I found that i wasnt the least bit surpised or confused by this world, as i had dreamt of a place much like this... i was pulled out of my thoughts when i saw someone i actually knew, and my eyes went wide... but it was impossible, he had onoy been in my dreams... he couldnt be real. But the name came out of my mouth anyways, with no warning or thught of it on my part. "Boris?"
