Prologue: Good Night

Alicia's Point of View

It was the dead of night.

I had a feeling...almost like de ja vu, but not quite. We were in Leila's house, and I was sleeping in the room that I once called mine. I shared this room with Chess and Alison. I watched Chess as he slept; the bed wasn't big enough for all three of us, so he volunteered to sleep on the chair. He was fast asleep, in his cat form, of course. But even then, he was adorable.

Alison was asleep next to me, her shallow breaths keeping time with the second hand that was ticking sluggishly on the clock. I hadn't seen her in so long...I almost felt like I'd been taking my sister for granted before. I was so lucky to have her here, with me, now. Safe and warm. I felt like I could protect her now. Like if anything tried to hurt her, I could take care of it.

I hadn't fallen asleep yet. I had just re-read my diary, the one I'd kept when I didn't know who I was. It was quite strange to read it now. It really felt like someone else had written it; more like I was reading a very well written book. One that caused me to have a headache above my left temple.

I wanted to sleep, don't get me wrong. Nothing was legitely the matter; Leila forgave Grandma and I for skipping out on her, and we forgave her for lying to us. Grandma and Hatter (It felt way too weird to call him Grandpa) were sharing the room right across from us, and Chess and Alison weren't in danger of dying at the present time. So there wasn't actually much I should be stressing over, right?

Wrong. With Stayne the official King of Underland, things were bound to get worse by the day. We had to come up with a plan to get to Salasun Grum (a four day journey from here, I might add), rescue the White Queen, dethrone the Knave, and restore peace to the land.

Yeah. That's easier said than done.

Alison stirred, and murmured in her sleep. I so wanted her to stay here, with Leila, while we went on our journey. It was just too dangerous for a little eight year old girl. We'd all tried to talk her out of coming, believe me, but she was just as hard headed as me. (Was I really that stubborn and hard to deal with? Sorry, mom...and everyone else.)

With nothing else to do, and knowing that worrying would get me nowhere, I curled into a ball on the bed, and tried to go to sleep under the same roof as my beautiful (and sort of weird) family.

Tell me how I did! Do you like it so far? Review please!
