Nightmare, the dream demon of Wonderland, happily floated in the dream realm and looked through one of the many bubbles. He was once again spying in on the real world; the world Alice had once called home. The only difference was he was spying in on a world that was one hundred years in the future. Since Wonderland existed outside the other world's time it had access to many different eras and varieties of people. Nightmare could visit these different eras at ease but it was the latest era that had grabbed his interest for the last few years. Or rather it was a certain group of people that had caught his interest.
W.U.N.D.R, otherwise known as Wonderland Underneath Days Receded, was a small origination of young adults who believed Wonderland existed. The group was first created when a young woman accidentally fell down the rabbit hole which opened in Alice's garden. Nightmare had reopened it to send Peter to check in on Alice's family after the foreigner decided to remain in Wonderland. What the dream demon hadn't realized was that Alice's father and younger sister had long since moved away and a new family moved in in their place. So, with Alice's game done, he allowed a new game to start. However, once her game was finished, the young woman didn't decide to stay like Alice did.
After being sent home the woman decided to dedicated her life to finding Wonderland again. She didn't want anyone else entering such a strange and dangerous world; a world where people kill without a second thought. Unfortunately, while Nightmare allowed her to remember the people and places of Wonderland, he made her forget much of everything else. That meant she couldn't remember the random time changes, the clock hearts, April Season for the most part, or the fact that Nightmare was the one responsible for creating the connection between worlds. She could remember the world was dangerous but her memory about all the violence was fuzzy.
Over the years the woman found more people who also believed in Wonderland and started the origination. As the years grew older the origination grew bigger and more advanced. However, somewhere along the lines the views on why they searched for the rabbit hole changed. Their goal in life was still to enter Wonderland and cut off the connection between the two worlds permanently. Yet, instead of doing it because Wonderland was too dangerous, the members were convinced Wonderland was actually a peaceful parallel to their world. With that in mind they didn't want anyone misusing the world for their own selfish gain.
Nightmare chuckled ever so lightly as he placed a hand against his cheek. He found it kind of funny how this origination hadn't yet figured out he was the one that controlled connection between worlds; especially after three of its current members had come to Wonderland before. Though, to be fair, the incubus did make the girls forget nearly everything once leaving. He couldn't have them telling the others all of Wonderland's secrets after all; yet he couldn't completely blank their memories either. Soon Nightmare would choose a fourth girl to be brought in; he just had to find the right one.
"Any luck so far?" One of the male members asked a woman sitting in front of a monitor. On the monitor was a digital map of the world.
"No, nothing yet. The Rabbit Hole is very random and will appear out of nowhere at any moment. We've found it three other times so we'll find it again; it just might take us a couple years." The woman replied as she zoomed in on a part of the map, only to find nothing but trees and other plants. The man sighed and leaned his hip against the computer board under the large monitor.
"It's been almost two years since the last time it opened it, hasn't it?" He asked in a thoughtful tone, staring at nothing in particular. The woman sighed and Nightmare raised an eyebrow.
'So it's been about two years since the last foreigner came? I thought it was shorter than that.' He thought to himself before shrugging. Time was easy to lose track of and, since Wonderland ran on a different time, it was easy to be off a few months or years.
"One year, seven months and twenty days to this day. Poor Leah has never been the same since. It's sad whenever we lose a member after they return from Wonderland. They are never quite the same and their memories always seem muddled. We never get enough information that would help us in our goal." The woman sighed sadly, putting a hand through her long brown hair and fixed the glasses on her face. Nightmare frowned sadly as he remembered the last foreigner to grace Wonderland.
Leah was a very kind girl, almost too kind actually. She was an animal lover and a vegetarian who wouldn't even eat fish. In fact, she would often even go into a rant about how eating meat was wrong because animals had feelings just like humans. She was polite, timid, loving, pretty, patient and hated guns as well as other violence. Alice had grown fond of her and would spend as much time as possible with the girl. In fact she was probably the most upset when Leah returned to her world.
However, it didn't come as much of a surprise as to why Leah left in the end. While she and Alice agreed there was too much violence in the world it was something she tolerated for the sake of her mission and the people she formed bonds with. Unfortunately it so happened that Leah was around long enough to witness an April Season and it was meeting Joker that broke her spirit. Luckily Nightmare was able to keep her away from them before she was imprisoned but she was never the same after that. It seemed that, even after returning home, the effects of what Joker did remained.
"Alana, are you alright?" The woman's voice pulled Nightmare out of his thoughts. Blinking he looked back at the bubble to see the woman now looking at another brunet. She must have joined the others while he was preoccupied with his thoughts.
Alana, around the age of twenty-three, had been a member of W.U.N.D.R since she was around the age of seventeen. She joined four months after the freak murder of her parents and older brother. If there really was a peaceful world out there Alana wished to be able to escape to it. She couldn't live with the guilt of knowing there was a chance to save her parents but was too scared to do so. She was even too late to save her brother and the hospital only prolonged his life eleven days before he died from his gun wounds.. After seven years that guilt still laid heavy in her heart; and Nightmare saw this.
"I'm fine, Clarice." She lied numbly, crossing her arms against her chest. The man and the brown haired woman cast each other worried looks before looking back over to the brunet.
"Alana... go ahead and pay your respect; we'll understand." Clarice encouraged kindly before she wheeled herself down to the far corner of the table. Opening a drawer installed in the table, she pulled out a hand sized black object and wheeled herself back.
"Here, take this just in case; you never know." She said with a wink, holding out the device towards Alana. The brunet hesitated for a moment before taking it and looking it over.
"What is this? It sort of looks like a iPhone." She said, flipping it over in her hands before studding the screen. Clarice chuckled and leaned back in her wheelie chair.
"It's a device our scientists have been working on. It will hopefully let us keep in contact with the next agent while they are in Wonderland. Since we actually have little control on who goes we are giving them to all W.U.N.D.R members. They have cameras, video cameras, two way video chat, a flashlight app, voice record and, for some stupid reason, angry birds." Clarice took a moment to sigh and rubbed her temples. Those scientists probably added it as some kind of joke.
"Anyways, It is solar powered and can last up to ten hours outside the sun. It also has a tracking device that can reach all corners of the earth." Clarice said happily, pushing her slipping glasses up her face again. Alana hummed impressively and Nightmare raised his eyebrow.
These people were starting to get much smarter in their research. Casey, the first W.U.N.D.R agent to come into Wonderland made her notes with a note pad and paper. Nightmare made sure those notes went missing before she returned to her world. Tara, the second foreigner from W.U.N.D.R wrote in a journal and kept a record of pictures; that too ended up missing once she returned to the real world. Leah had a voice recorder but she had accidently dropped and left it in the prison after her encounter with Joker.
This new device may just end up causing some problems in the future. The only reason Nightmare didn't make these girls forget the organization before entering Wonderland was because he thought it'd be more fun if they'd remember.
"Ah, cool. Thanks for understanding, I'll be back later." The young woman thanked, shoving the device in her pants pocket. Clarice and the man waved off Alana as Nightmare chuckled to himself.
"Much later than you'll expect." He spoke to himself as the scene in the bubble changed to follow Alana. There was some work to be done before he could bring her into Wonderland.
Just to tell you know those other "three" girls wont appear but they might be mentioned. I have a reason for so many girls appearing in Wonderland but I will save that for later so please bare with me
