The pitch black sky covered the horizon, leaving no trace of light but twinkling stars.
"Good night Alice." Her father gave her a kiss on the cheek and turned her bedside lamp off. Alice slowly untied the black ribbon holding her hair back and flung it on the ground. She moved her luminous blonde hair to one side of her head and rested her head down on the other.
Her nightmare overpowered her previous mellow dream. It started with bright green clovers and giant shady trees. A long table was set up for at least eight people with teacups, sugar, and a pot of tea. The sound of a rushing river soothed Alice's thoughts of being lost. Then a deep chuckle came from afar.
"Hello?" Alice asked softly. She lifted her long blue dress from the grass and looked up at what was once the sun. A large purple figure blocked it, and as it turned around it showed its sharp teeth and its bulbous yellow eyes. Soon her whole Wonderland began crumbling down. There was no light, just horrible darkness that shadowed her every movement. Alice began running as the cat cackled. But wherever Alice ran, the sky fell blocking her way. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she couldn't even see her light blonde hair; it became black.
"Take a look at yourself Alice." The cat let light shine through as Alice rushed over to the river and saw her reflection. Coal black hair fell over her shoulders and her crystal blue eyes were shamrock green. She screamed and bawled until daylight broke through her window in the real world. Everything had changed.
Alice looked out the window and saw horrible foundation and crumbling buildings. Cloth hung over where her door was supposed to be. She looked at herself through her closet mirror and saw what she had just previously seen in the river. Her face fell into her palms in shock. She crept out of her room, dragging her cheap flats on the wooden floor, and saw a doctor.
"That world, think of it…go to it." The doctor began to wave a golden key in front of her. He told her things she didn't remember, thing she didn't want to believe.
"I-I can't, I'm trapped in Hell." She cried, remembering how Wonderland was ruined."
"Forget it, go to Wonderland." He put much emphasis on Wonderland.
"B-but I am stuck in my past." She stuttered.
After a long session of memories, Alice walked out of the room to go and get her pills. In her head she continued to reply how the darkness in the crumbling Wonderland began to eat her up and transform her into something she wasn't. She longed for a journey to collect these memories, so she set off for one.
