I got a request from xxbookwormmockingjayxx to do a story about what happened to Jess after the game, and this is what came to mind. I really love Alice in Wonderland so I couldn't help myself. I hope everyone else likes my take on it.
Male investigator: "How did you end up in the mines?"
Jess: "I was…carried…and…taken…and…"
Male investigator: "What did you see?"
Jess: "I don't know. I don't, I don't know."
Male investigator: "Your friend Ashley, she told us she tried to help you."
Jess: "No…"
Male investigator: "She said she heard you calling out."
Jess: "No…not me…"
Jess: "…Mike…"
Male investigator: "What do you remember?"
Jess: "He came for me…!" –dazed nod- "He did…!"
Male investigator: "Came for you?"
Jess: "Where is he…? Did he make it…?"
Jess was out in the courtyard when a blur of white caught her eye. She squinted to get a better look, but it kept moving. She glanced over her shoulder at the nurse who was smoking a cigarette, talking to another nurse. Looking back at the white blur, she got up and moved closer. The closer she got, the further it got from her. Until she the edge of the courtyard, cut off by the chain link fence. On the other side she saw a fluffy white rabbit, staring back at her. She tilted her head as she looked down at the rabbit. As she stared at it, she realized the rabbit was wearing a red running coat. 'How curious,' she thought.
The rabbit looked up at her, then glanced at the small watch on its cute little paw. Its ears twitched, its nose wiggled and it looked to Jess once more before scampering off.
"Hey, wait," Jess called. She looked around the fence, knowing the rabbit had gotten out somehow. There, she saw the break in the fence, just big enough for the rabbit. Jess got on her knees, it was so small before, but when she crouched down, it was just big enough for her to crawl through. One more glance over her shoulder, the nurses still paying no mind to her, so she moved quickly to wriggle her way through the hole in the fence. Once she was on the other side, she followed the rabbit, that is until she fell down a mine shaft.
Jess awoke to find herself staring up at a person with two heads, or maybe she was seeing double. She sat up to rub her head only to find her apparel had changed. She wore a blue dress with a white apron over it. Black and white striped socks and marry janes. "What the?"
"You fell along way," said one of the heads. When she looked in the direction of the voice, she realized it wasn't a two headed person, or that she was seeing double, but it had been twins.
One twin wore a grey beanie and wore a grey dress with purple stripes. The other twin wore glasses and a purple dress with grey stripes. She wasn't sure what the difference was, but she knew it was important, or at least she thought.
"You fell a long way," the one with glasses repeated.
Jess pulled herself to her feet, "Where am I?"
"Where is anyone?" the one in the beanie asked.
"Do I know you guys?" Jess asked.
The twins looked to one another then back to Jess, "I don't believe we met," they replied in unison.
"You look…familiar," she pointed out. "What are your names?"
"I'm Twiddle Beth," the one in the beanie said.
"And I'm Twiddle Hannah," the one with glasses replied.
They both proceeded to grab one of each of Jess's hands and shook it vigorously in a strange handshake manor.
When they stopped Jess pulled her hands away, feeling a bit uncertain of what had just happened, "I'm…uh…I'm…what is my name?" she wondered.
Beth and Hannah both pondered for a moment, "Such a shame she doesn't know her name," Beth said.
"Great shame indeed," Hanna agreed. "Oh I've got it!"
"Alice," they said in unison. "You look like an Alice."
Jess frowned, "No, that isn't it at all." She shook her head, "I must be going."
The twins cut her off, "Where are you going?" Hannah asked.
"It's rude to leave without a proper introduction," Beth added.
"I must find the white rabbit," Jess replied.
"Why?" the twins asked together.
"Because I'm curious to know where it went," she replied.
The twins exchanged a knowing glance, "Be careful, curiosity can lead to terrible things," Beth warned.
"What do you mean?" Jess asked.
"Mustn't ask too many questions," Hannah replied, taking her sister's hand. The two skipped off, disappearing into the forest.
Jess watched them for a moment, trying to figure out the warning, but only came up with more questions. Sighing, she continued onward, wondering where that little rabbit had gone.
