Disclaimer: I don't own Alice in Wonderland.
A/N: This story isn't original. Actually, this is the second story I have written recently. So cut me some slack. So I was going through "Rave Trailers" on Youtube and I saw this one from last year in California called, "Escape from Wonderland 2011"- which is an evil version of "Alice in Wonderland".
Once I saw it, I had to write a story on it. So again. This isn't exactly original, only the beginning. Hope you all enjoy. (:
Escape From Wonderland
Oh, Alice, what have you done now?
The world was dark around her, and her head felt like it's been hit by a million bricks. Had she not followed that crazy talking rabbit, she wouldn't be lost in such a horrible place once again.
It wasn't like Alice was terrified, though. She has seen this place a million times before, but in her dreams. They always started out so peculiar, and they, of course, started with her chasing the silly rabbit. She follows him down the hole, and out of nowhere she lands upside down as a tiny person.
Well, we all know where it goes from here.
The land she finds after is breathtakingly beautiful, and as the lilies whispered to her soft lullabies (that were so enchanting that they even put the Queen of Hearts to sleep) she would spin around in circles throughout them feeling whole and content.
Eventually she would fall asleep in the lilies, but the horror comes in when she would wake up with them gnawing on her beautiful pale skin. They would hold her down with their vines as they feasted on her. Alice would fight and scream but her cries would fall upon uncaring ears.
Until…
The lilies disappeared, and she was only left to be lost in the dark depths of Wonderland. Her dress tattered and covered in droplets of her blood, and her body would ache from the tiny teeth marks on her skin. In her dreams, she would be wandering around in the darkness until she saw the Mad Hatter. His familiar hat never changes, and neither does his actions. He doesn't even say a word to her, he just stands there grinning with his dirty-yellowed mouth and staring with his ice blue eyes. Just looking at him makes you feel horrified.
Then she wakes up.
Wait. How does Alice know this is not a dream right now? She pinched herself and gritted her teeth. Usually she would do this before, but it wouldn't hurt.
Oh, Alice, what have you done now?
Yet, she still wasn't afraid.
She continued walking, only thinking to go where her dreams led her before: The Mad Hatter. Were her dreams a sign to go to him? What all could she merit from this? Suddenly, she heard music and she stopped walking.
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
The Boswell Sisters… Alice knew this song well, it has always been her favorite. She turned her head and followed the music. That familiar song.
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
Alice started slowly dancing as she followed the song. As the music got louder, she saw that she was walking on a black and white checkered tile. Then she looked around and saw a glimpse of trees.
Light.
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold
She started to realize that she wasn't familiar with her surroundings.
Is she sure that this isn't a dream?
Oh, Alice, what have you done now?
The music kept playing, but with each step she took, it became louder..
She saw a door in the distance, but as she drew closer she realized that it was standing up on it's own! Was this some kind of joke? She looked behind it to double check and saw nothing but the light of a sun beaming at her. Then she turned to look behind her and watched as the light turned into nothing.
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
The music was coming from the door, though. How could this be? Alice put her ear against the door and heard music through it perfectly. She reached and latched onto the door handle but right as she was going to open it...
CAW
Alice jumped. She turned around and glared at the crow staring at her from his branch on the tree. He kept cawing at her, and started to fly at her. She yelped and fought it off of her until it flew away. She never liked crows before, she thought they were creepy and disgusting.
However, She couldn't help but wonder why it suddenly wanted to attack her, though. Was it trying to tell her something? Maybe she should continue walking towards the light...
Her thought only lasted a second, though. as the music suddenly got louder, she couldn't help but bring her attention back onto the door. She once again wrapped her fingers around the door handle, and pulled it open.
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold
As she entered the room, she immediately looked to her right and saw a record player playing "Blue Moon". She was right. It had come from the door. In front of her was a table, full of guests thriving and talking. They were also having a cup of tea.
Looking directly in front of her, she eyed the Mad Hatter from across the table. He was twisting the end of his knife on the tip of his finger, paying no mind to his tea party guests, and not noticing Alice was in front of him. None of them realized a new guest has come to the party, they were too busy bantering among each other. Which at a first glance, they seem to be maybe friendly? She saw the crazy white rabbit, talking on-and-on with the hare. However, they were no longer little, they looked to be much bigger than her.. All of them did.
She also saw the hare, who is arguing with the Cheshire cat over something ridiculous, Alice is sure. Lastly, she saw the twins discussing a matter among themselves.
However, looking around the table, it had food scattered all over it. The table wasn't the only mess in the house; the house itself looked completely dark and filthy. Alice was in loss of words at this point.
As she continued to observe everything, she realized that these party guests weren't friendly at all. No, the words they were saying and the aggression they were showing each other told Alice everything - She is not safe in this room right now. As she was about turn to leave, the door slammed shut by itself and the picture on the wall next to it fell slammed on the ground. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her quickly. She jumped at the noise and stared back at them. They all knew she was here now, and she was afraid. She then looked at the Mad Hatter smirking at her; he was now twisting the end of his knife on top of the table.
Oh, Alice, what have you done now?
"Alice, we've been waiting for you." The Mad Hatter's voice was deep and dark. It sent chills up her spine and her heart sank. She looked around and saw them continue to stare at her, but she was frozen. She couldn't even scream.
No. This was definitely not a dream.
The Mad Hatter turned to the Cheshire cat and whispered, "Change the music." The silence turned to a deep, horrid tune that Alice has never heard before. Everyone went back to what they were doing, giving Alice a breath of relief for just a second, until they all saw the evil glare on the Mad Hatter's face.
"What are you doing? Get our guest!" he yelled and Alice's face dropped. All of them stood up and surrounded her, knocking her to the floor.
Now she finally started to scream.
The rabbit dragged her across the floor to the side of the table, grabbing her legs as others picked her up by her arms. Her attempts to fight back were in vain.
"Clear a spot for our guest!" The Mad Hatter shouted, laughing maniacally. Still sitting in his seat while playing with the knife. The tea party guests pushed all the food off the table and placed Alice on top of it as they pinned her down. She fought and fought as hard as she could, but her hardest was not good enough.
The Mad Hatter slowly stood up and creeped onto the table, hovering over her body. He stared at her with those icy blue eyes, and slammed his knife into the table right next to her head. Terrified, she stared up at him as he took off his familiar hat.
She suddenly realized everything. The music was a trap to lure her here and the crow before was telling her not to go into the door - to go toward the light instead. Her dreams weren't a sign to go to the Mad Hatter, they were a warning to stay away…
But now it's too late.
The Mad Hatter popped his neck to the side while raising his fist.
One hit, and she was gone.
Oh, Alice, what have you done now?
