Black.
That's the first thing I see. Then the colors come in slowly. First Dark Blue, then Purple and many other colors. So many that its hard to see at first, but then they slowly dim down until all I see is White. Then the White fades into Black again. Black is truely an ugly color. Finally my thinking slows down until I don't think anymore.
When I wake up I'm in the middle of a small room with one window. There are no colors here. Just shades of Black and White. As I walk across the floors they creak as if some great pressure is on them. As I draw nearer to the window I see that it over looks a tree on a hill. I can't see anything past the tree or the hill. What I do see surprises me. I thought their was no color here but I was wrong. Sitting in the rather healthy looking tree is a tiny blue bird looking the oppisite way from me. I wonder what the bird is looking at. Maybe a castle? or another house? I swing my head from left to right looking for the door but all that I see is the shaded walls of this room that I feel suddenly trapped in. My heart starts to thump faster and faster til I can practically hear it pounding a rythm through my ears. When I look back infront of me I blink twice at the door that replaced my window. The handle on the door looks old fashioned seeing as it not a turning kind. The frame of the door was laced with skulls and...and flowers? Even on the door handle there was a skull as well as flowers. I hesitate a moment before I put my hand on the creepy handle and pull it open.
It still looks the same outside as it did when the window was there. My barefeet fell werid on the grass as I walk over to the tree.
Up on the hill it's much more colder than I thought it would be. The sheet that woke up with isn't enough to keep my naked body warm up here.
The bird still hasn't noticed that I'm here. It just keeps staring at whatever it's looking at. As I turn my gaze from the little blue bird in the tree I finally see what it see's. My bottom jaw drops making my mouth take the shape of a little "o". What I see can be compared to any other sight I've ever seen. Its... undescribeable...it just... no words I can tell you will ever fully describe what I saw.
There was so much color. Especially the color green. There were forest and moutains soaring to the sky: it was like they were reaching for the giant ocean of blue above them. Next to some of the moutains were plains and plains of green and large lakes spread all through out the place. On the largest moutain,which happened to be dead center in the middle of this, was what looks like a town, but instead of being in one place it circles the moutain all the way down. The little room that I first woke up in seems now even more duller than when I first arrived there. I turn around to look for the tree and the room but they've been replaced with a forest, and as I look down I see I now stand on a red path instead of colorless grass.
Suddenly I'm overcome with a fear. A fear of the unknown. What is this strange new place that I've arrived in? Why am I here? And most important, why me?
I push my fear down, determined to see where this path leads me. If I'm here then I'm here for a certain purpose. My feet start to slide over the red brick road as I start moving to the city on the moutain. As I walk I notice I don't hear any birds or other animal sounds. I start getting this werid feeling and pick my pace up. My heart starts to thump and hammer in my chest as I feel this sufficating feeling. I am now runnning down the path to the plains. When I start to here this werid munching sound coming off the side of the path. I stop in my running, curious of the noise that interupted the silence that was there before. I quiet my steps and walk over toward the foliage that seems to be hiding the maker of the sound. My hands shake for some unkown reason as I pull back the bushes.
Well...I was expecting something a little more gruesome than what I actually saw.
Sitting behind the bushes was about a four-month old puppy of some sort. It had yellowish eyes and what I believe to be red-brown fur. It was honestly quite cute. Suddenly remembering that puppies this age still had mommies I started hastily looking around for her. The coast looked clear. I noticed that what it was munching on appeared to be a biscuit or muffin. It turned from its meal to look at me with its wide yellow eyes.
Suddenly two feet away from us some bushes started to rustle. I started backing away and the pup started to follow. I bent down next to it.
"Shoo! Shoo! Come on, you have to have a mom some where, right?" I whispered while trying to get the thing to go away. The noise from the bushes was approaching faster and faster.
I looked down at the pup giving me the wide eyes and quivering lip. Why that little rat, thinking puppy look will work on me.
Whatever is crashing through the foliage over there, its about 5 feet away now.
Just as I'm picking up the small animal, a weridly dressed man jumps through the bushes.
"There you are, you little theif!" He starts shouting, "I've caught you now and by god you will pay for the crimes you have commited!"
I stare at the man then look at the tiny pup. The pup looks at me inocently. What in the hell could he have done?
The man is still going on about how the poor dog will see justice and some other things.
"Umm, Sir? Can you please tell me what happened?" I ask politely.
The Strange man turns to look at me. His eyes go wide and he starts fussing with his clothes and muttering something under his breathe. He honestly looked quite flustered.
"Umm hey? Do you you mind telling me where I am?" I ask.
He turns back to me and bows deeply, "Please excuse my attire Miss. If I had known I was going to meet you on this fine day in The Land, Why I would have dressed in my very best! Yes, yes I would!"
He is voice is very moderate and normal sounding despite the way he dresses, but what confuses me the most is that he acts as if he knows me.
"Do you know me by any chance Mr...?" I left my sentence off at that considering he hasn't told me his name.
" Oh my Land!My name, of all things to forget! How could I not tell you my name? My name is Walterus VanderGuard Macquior Da'ver Hatter, the 56th my Lady. But you may call me Wallie Hatter." He announces while bowing.
"Wallie... Hatter?"
"Yes, My Lady"
"Ok Wallie," I say quizzily," so I'll ask again, do you know me by any chance?"
I swear Wallie nearly flipps," Why ofcourse I know you! your you! I would know you in a second the moment I saw you!"
"So, who am I then?"
"Why your Alice from the other world ofcourse!"
I blink a few times. Did I just hear him right?
