I was here first, not Alice. I had met everyone first, not Alice. I had first gotten here when I was eight years old, I would love to come and re-plant Hamish's mother's garden. She always wanted it to be perfect and flawless in every way; I thought it would look better wild, and alive. The first to I came to Underland was when my parent were invited over for a party. We were neighbors, so it was only natural I would go to entertain Hamish. I've always hated Hamish. He always thought he was better than me, would never share his toys, and he never wanted to go into the garden to play. So at the party, I left the crowd, and went through the garden. Until I came upon a very interesting and odd shaped tree that I had never seen before. Upon closer inspection, I found the hole. I was careful, I climbed in. I was clutching the wall. At first I thought I was sleeping, but it was real. I knew it when I was able to keep going back to it. So finally, I let go of the wall. Down, down, down I fell, screaming the entire way. And then, well, you know what happens next. With the door and everything else.
And gradually I met everyone, until Cheshire asked what my name was. I didn't remember. And that's how I became "Infinity." Eight on its side is infinity, so that was my name. I stayed in the White Queen's castle with her for a couple of weeks. Then I went to a stream and found a dead animal. The bite marks looked of those of a giant lizard. Purple liquid was pooled around the holes it created.
Stupid and young, I thought of it as grape soda, and slowly dipped my finger in the liquid then licked it. Slowly, Underland started disappearing around me. It turned dark, and I fainted. When I woke up, I was next to the rabbit hole in Hamish's mother's garden. People had gathered around me, worried about my health. A little girl, Alice, was there as well, as she walked with me to the carriage, I whispered to her about all the magic I found.
When I got home, I was punished for wandering off. And for the next ten years, I endured my parents' torture. When I was eighteen, on the night of my wedding, I went into town and bought some man's pants. I cut the length so they were shorts. With nothing but a black sweater, a flimsy shirt, a pair of shorts, and my mother's ring, I ran away. I went back to Underland. I was welcomed happily, I was called Infinity again, I was forever eighteen years old, but everyone seemed…disappointed. Cheshire explained to me what happened.
"There was a little girl who came here! Her name was Alice… The Alice!" Cheshire was full of glee. I then remembered the little girl that I told. She was THAT Alice?
Fraptous day was within months. Everyone got busy. By the time I got there, the Red Queen had already taken over. Where ever I went, all everybody talked about was Alice. At first, it was just irritating. Then it just started pissing me off. Didn't they realize I was here? I came back because I needed friends, and they chose HER over me? I was here FIRST! I stopped blaming everyone else, and now I just loathed Alice. With a deep fiery hot purple pink passion.
Fraptous day came and went, and sure as hell, Alice saved the day. I started visiting less and less. I would play chess with the White Queen every thirty days, as was our ritual. And I would have tea with the Hatter, Hare, and Mallymkun every fifteen days. Hatter even made me a hat. It was wide brimmed, black, and had a blue ribbon around the top. I talked regularly with Cheshire. I liked him a lot. Other times, I would just do whatever. Sometimes I would be wondering through the forest and I would see the banished Red Queen, along with her old lover, Stayne. They would beg for me to kill them, for me to free them, for me to help them. Promising me riches and treasures as a reward. Obeying the Queen's orders, I would just ignore them and move along.
