Chapter One:

Asleep Or Awake?

Alyss wasn't much interested in her sisters reading.

"How can you read without pictures, and only words? It seems so boring," Alyss whined from the tree branch above her sister. Alyss's sister stared up to her, before shaking her head disapprovingly.

"You do not need pictures to enjoy the leisure of reading yourself into another world, dear sister," She said softly, as Alice closed her eyes, drifting off asleep.

Alyss opened her heavy eye lids, expecting to see her back yard. She sat up not recognizing any of what she saw, "Impossible, "She awed, looking around to find herself in a dimly lit forest with, vibrant growth around to make up for the lake of light.

"Crap," she snapped, her shoulders slumped as she frown and looked around, "OK I'll get no were just standing here, besides no one is going to come looking for me to begin with, "She added with a sweet smile, then looked down, "Where'd my shoes go?" She asked annoyed as her voice raised to a higher pitch, as she stomped her foot really hard. She yelped and held her now hurt foot, "AH, damn it all!" She shouted as her mood switched faster than a humming bird could flap its' wings. Once she recovered, she twirled around and started in some random direction.

Alyss let out a sigh, shed walked for a good half hour,

"Thank god I still have my watch, "she praised as she came up to a noisy area that was gated in, by a crooked fence she lend over the gate which surprisingly was quite sturdy, and new looking, "Excuse me!" She shouted over the sound of tea pots, a screaming manic, laughter, and braking of glass. She flinched at the sound of a squeaking mouse. After no answer she walked in toe. The crooked tea table; which more resembled a very old picnic table, her uncle had before he used an ex on it in his fit of madness; which now that she thinks back was quite frankly hysterical to watch. She shrugged and walked a little father down to see a man in brown with like bone like bunny ears on his head. He was barley sitting as he laughed so loudly. Then suddenly stopped to throw a tea cup her way; screaming about how you should never show up late. Alyss put her hands to her hips without thinking retorted back.

"I'M not late, you're early!" She shouted over the noise so he could hear her. He looked over to her and snapped his fingers and all the noise just stopped,

"Excuse me miss what you say I don't think I heard you? I'm The March, Or Henry, whichever is your cup of tea now tell me… …What's… …Your name?" He said as he lend over the table on one hand and tilted his head, he looked absolutely INSANE!

"I'm Alyss Liddle," She told him as she shifted uncomfortably, under his intense stare.

"My I sit down?" She asked. He shook his head No.
"Sorry but Jack tells who sits, stays, or comes in," He told her, then lend closer, "His mad you know," He said, as his boney ears twitched, then started to have a soft chuckle 'till he just turned out like a hyena on laughing gas. She sighed and let her head fall down,

"OK then your mad as well," She stated then brushed her hair back with her left as hand

"You'll need to change clothes." He stated as he suddenly stopped his madden laughter, once again. Alyss frown and scrunched her face,

"Why, what's wrong with my clothes?" She shouted, "Hey let me go!" she squeaked, as he started to drag her in to were a humongous gray bunny was,

"Honney dress her like a wonderlander," He said as the she bunny happily hoped over. Alyss groaned as she was drudged away once more were the giant bunny lady stripped her blue dress off and put her into a poppers outfit on her.

"Umm OK?" she said confused, as Honney pulled her out threw a tunnel. "Where are you taking me?" Alyss asked with a mix of emotions. She hissed and covered her eyes as they ran/hopped into the open clear are were the sun shinned down on them, like they were flowers.

Alyss let out an in take of breath as she looked over her folded arms to her almost bare feet; as it clashed against the slightly cool green ground. She gave a slight smile down to the finely designed neon grass blades. Absent mindedly she let her arms fall from crossed over the chest, as she looked up to the deep color sky; for some reason it, it just seemed to be more vibrant then usually.

"Am I asleep or awake?" She questioned herself, before she let out a dry laugh and shook her head slightly, "Or is it possible that I've lost my marbles?" She thought out loud.
"Oh no on the contrary, you're in Wonderland." Alyss whipped around; her hair slung around her like silk as it slid off her face. She tried to look for the mysterious voice, which JUST had to be smiling.
"Where are you?" She asked in a warning tone to say she isn't to be messed with.
"Up here," The voice said comely. Alyss looked up to see a fluffy long cat with a mix of a few colors and a great big grin that screamed of mischief and, misfortune to any who decided to cross its path. Alyss noticed that the smiling cat was lounging on an old oak tree branch.
The Cheshire smiled its devious smile, with a purr, and a swish of its tail it spoke once again.

"Good, now you know were I am, I'll tell you one more time," It purred out, then waited for one of those dramatic effects, "You are in wonderland," It said matter of fact. Alyss placed her hand over her mouth as she let out a stiffen giggle, and then removed her hand as she let out a full hearty laugh. Alyss looked away to think over the obscurity of this whole thing.
"Oh don't be Queue with me ," she said as she looked directly up to him, with a stern look, "Besides I can't possibly be in wonderland, for it inaudibly doesn't exist," She said matter of fact, as
it had done not just a minute ago. This on its own had earned her a short obscured laugh from the smiling cat.
"Oh! Then how do you explain me?" The Cheshire said with its voice laced with amusement, and rolled over on the branch onto its back playfully, it started to disappear, as if it was a ribbon, and reappeared onto the ground, beside of Alyss. This little tricked startled the poor girl, making her jump and placed her hand to her chest, in an ironic vain to catch her heart. As well it earns the smiling cat a frantic look, which just amused him a great deal more.
"What! Are you?" She asked a gusted, making the feline laugh once again. To tell the truth this did piss off Alyss, she was never one to take likely to those how laughed, poke fun, or insult her for that matter.

"Oh you may think that but every one has a wonderland; Alyss, and this one is yours," He tilted his head as he stretched, "as you can guess I'm the Cheshire, cat," Its voice pitched upward at the last word, with a sadistic look on its face. Alyss then shook her head as she thought it over and remembering a thing about the Cheshire cat, that Charles Dodgson had told her.
"But the Cheshire Charles Dodgson made doesn't look like you," She said slightly confused.
"Yes well He did get a few things wrong, besides this is your world" the Cheshire said with a roll of its' eye as its fur shredded or ripped off as its back hunched over painfully as it got bigger and formed tattoos a cheeped ear and a gold ear ring ta' boot. This in all did scare Dear poor Liddell. "If you had forgotten," He said with a quite sadistic laugh rumbled out of its thought.
"Please stop that," Alyss asked nervously, he was really starting to frighten her. He stopped, sat down. His creepy smile widen as he purred and swayed his tail left to right. "You're mad," Alyss said august, as she took a step back. His smile got bigger; if that's even possible, before he spoke up.

"You know that quite well Ms. Liddell. Were all made here," he informed here. She covered her ears.
"OH! Please don't say that," Alyss said as she quickly turned around, making the dark skirt jingle. The Cheshire let out a feral growl towards her, before he jumped in front of her and snapped his teeth too close to her skin scrapping it slightly.
"Do Not ignore me," he snarled. Alyss flinched, and froze in fear of the giant cat in front of her. He knees gave out from under her, in a motion to make her fall on her rump. With that the Cheshire; himself, sat down as well and he lazy demeanor came back. He swayed his tail in a motion to mock bamboo in the wind.
"You scare me," she said in a raspy whisper, not looking up from the ground. She placed her hand over where her rapped beating heart was. He let out a wicked laugh.
"Yes, well you were heading towards the Hatter's playground, as he is, also far scarier than me. Though his is not so mad, as insane, much past madness," Cheshire stated with his trade mark pause, with a slight growl. Alyss took in a sharp breath.
"What do you mean? The Hatter I was told about may have been madder than everyone else, but he was a kind gentle soul," She told him with a confused look across her dirt covered face. He let out a scoff and turned his head so fast it seemed he was slapped.
"We Do have our
own minds, mind you little Liddell," He looked towards her with all seriousness,"WE as well have our own free will. We only have the basics from Him," He told her, "Other than that he has no will over use," He said as he stretched and looked around. His tail twitched as he perched him self, on a tree branch.
Alyss gripped the skirt tightly, causing her knuckles to turn white.
"Oh," she said her voice cracking a bit as she kept her eyes on the old worn torn skirt. Cheshire tilted his head in queasily leaning over the branch to look her in the eyes.
"What is it?" His wide smile spread on his face as if to cut it in half, "Cat got your tongue?" He said with a maniacal laugh. Alyss frown deeply at the smiling cat's rudeness, and lame joke. Once he stopped his laughter, the Cheshire rolled over on to his back; steal looking at her. "Then again I'm the only cat, around here; and personally I don't like tongue, so you have no worries."
Alyss sighed and glanced over to the corky cat, as a smile started to play across her face.

"OH! You are a mad one!" She exclaimed, "And I, of course cannot possibly be sane! Seeing as I'm talking to a cat," Alyss said pointing tours the cat with her hand. Alyss stud up with a sigh of relief, which she had yet to know she was holding. "So which way should I go?" She asked him as her calm domineer came back to her. The Cheshire gave her a questioning look, and then faded; back to his tree branch he was on originally As well he was looking like his friendlier appearance with the fluff and color.
"Could go to Queen Redd, but she would most likely rather kill you, but that's just cause she'd think you worked for the White Queen; there is Hatter Jack, he can be quite calm at the time, but I already warned you of him now didn't I?" he let out a short laugh, "Go to the White queen, she won't kill you, but she will use you to get reed of all their foes." Cheshire mussed, as he began to do the disappearing ribbon thing.

"Wait!," Alyss said very on edge now, " H-how do I get to the White Queen?" Alyss asked, gripping her pale hands together.

"Just follow the trail," Cheshire's voice echoes off the trees, as he disappeared completely, with a pop. Alyss let out a sad sigh as she felt alone, letting her hands drop, before looking around.

"What trail?" She asked with sad eyes, not seeing one. Alyss licked her dry lips as she once again spun around and went in a random direction.
