Hey peeps! So once upon a time, a girl named Logan was on Fan Fiction and saw an add for Alice on Syfy. She clicked on the link and fell into the trap. She watched the previews and wanted to see it, but one problamo, SHE DOESN'T HAVE CABLE!! Plus, her mother would not want her watching it. So the night it premiered, she watched it on You-tube and got hooked. This is how I got an idea for this story. Sorry if it sucks. Its one of my firsts!
ENJOY!!!!!!
Prologue:
The alarms were sounding. So loud were they, and sounded as if someone was shouting for help.
"Alice, we've got to get out of here. NOW!!!!!" Alice agreed as she picked up her 5 year old child and ran out of the room with her spouse. Running away from the blaring alarms, the sirens, the screaming, and hopefully, forever. They ran out of their apartment and into the ally way. The sound of bullets being aimed at them made them go faster.
"Hatter," started Alice,"what are we going to do with him? The whole world wants him now that they know who he is!" The family rounded a corner and Hatter pulled Alice into an old abandoned building. Just in time too.
"Where did they go?" asked a voice.
"Not here that's for sure," said another.
"Let's check the next block," and the two men ran off.
"That was close," said Alice as the family went deeper into the building. It seemed strangely familiar to Alice. "Hatter," she said, "Where are we going?"
There was a pause. "I think there is only one place to put him Alice that will ensure his safety from Caterpillar's prophecy." Alice knew exactly what he meant.
"No! Hatter, I am not sending him there. We might not ever get him back!"
Hatter stooped and looked Alice in the eye. "When was the last time you couldn't trust me?" Alice did not reply. "Exactly," he said. "When its safe I promise, we'll bring him back once this hullabaloo with this prophecy is over."
Tears were forming in Alice's eyes. She knew it was the only way, but it was probably the hardest way.
"Hey," said Hatter, "it'll be alright. Come on, this is the floor.
The two of the traveled through the maze of a floor. It had to be hard, otherwise, little children who wonder in to find their soccer ball would accidental find the looking-glass and land in Wonderland. It took a while but they finally got to the looking glass.
"Ready? asked Hatter. Alice nodded and they jumped into the watery like looking glass. As they went through, Hatter hoped that his plan would work for his five-year old son. Hoping the prophecy won't happen until he is much older. Perhaps, never.

Alex's POV
I dive in. The water is cool against my warm, sweaty skin. I'm nervous. It all depends on me. I try to stay under as long as I can, but it is hard. My oxygen level is low. I need to come up, but I can't. Just a few more seconds.........*gasp* I gasp for breath as I rise above the surface. I'm a head by a few good feet. I know I need to move it. I can see the finish, its right there. I hear my friend say, "You have to make it in two seconds. You can do it!" I rush as fast as I can. I'm still a head. The red line shows. I'm so close. I give it my all. Just a bit more.....almost........YES!!!
I get out of the water as my team comes to greet me. I did it. I now hold the state record in swimming freestyle! Boy does it feel good to get that off my chest. It's done. Over. I did it. I, Alex Huston, did it. I walk over to my mother. She hugs me. She still gets wet, but doesn't care. She is proud of me, and that is all that matters.
One month later-Normal POV
It was about 2:00 p.m. in the real world, and Alex just got back from her karate class. After the swimming win, she decided to do more karate, for she stopped when her swimming training got intense. She was on the second level of green belt (I don't take karate) and one of the best in the class. She was really mad right now because of her karate teacher, Mrs. Hatter, calling her "Alice" again instead of "Alex." It's a common mistake many people made with her name. Not that much different but it still pissed her.
Alex was a normal girl in the city of New York, except for the fact she is well-known for her swimming record. She was average height, a little skinny, and not that tan. She had thin, yet smooth light brown hair that went to her upper/mid back and side bangs. She had piercing, jade green eyes. She never dressed preppy, heck, she wouldn't be caught dead in a store like "Justice" in her young years. She had her own, unique style. She wore what she felt like, which changed often.
Tonight for Alex was going to be interesting. She and her best friend Kate were going to a movie together. They were going to see a movie on their favorite book, Alice in Wonderland. Alex has always had a special place for that story. The weird part, Kate was bringing her boyfriend, Patrick. The even weirder part was that Kate and Patrick hooked up Alex with Patrick's best friend, Wilson.
"You hooked me with this guy who I don't know!!!" she asked Kate when she was told the news.
'Well, I just didn't want you to feel left out," Kate said.
"Well what about bringing Patrick in the first place?! Did you possibly think that I was hoping for a non-romantic era night with my best friend and her boy friend?"
"Its just that. I really like him, and he and Wilson wanted to see the movie too!"
Alex shook her head as she went to her room to get dressed. She put on her black leggings, red and green plaid skirt, blue polo shirt and chestnut uggs. Not her most wanted pick most days, but still, she felt like she should wear it. She brushed out her hair, grabbed a bit from the front, twisted it, and pined it with a hair-clip. She did that with both sides so her bangs would show. She put on a little mascara and eyeliner, grabbed her money, and went to Kate's house.
"Your late," said Kate when Alex got there. Kate was wearing a pale blue dress and black leggings. This really complemented her pale skin and dark brown hair.
"I'm not late," said Alex, "your just early."
"Oh shut up," said Kate. "We're going to be late anyways. I hope Patrick and Wilson have the tickets."
"We can only hope."
"SO your two finally decided to come," said Patrick when he spotted the girls come into the theatre.
"Sorry Pat," said Kate. "Somebody was a little late getting ready."
"OK, lets just get this over with," said Alex as she sat on a bench. "Where's my "date?"
"In the bathroom," said Patrick. "We'll.....go get seats," he said pulling Kate with him.
"Probably just an excuse for a make-out session," said a male voice with a slight British accent. Alex turned around to see a very handsome guy. He was tall, thin, but no too thin, had shaggy jet black hair and beautiful brown eyes. He had olive skin a a few freckles. He had on a nice pair of pants and a collared short-sleeved shirt.
"Hi," he said. "I'm Wilson, and you must be Alex my 'date.'"
"Yeah," Alex replied. "We're you forced into this too?"
"Yes," he replied, "but, I'm not regretting it anymore." Alex tried to hide her emotions but she could feel herself blush. "Shall we go into the theatre?"
"Sure," she said as she took his offered arm.
In the movie theatre, Wilson was right about the "excuse." Kate and Patrick were no where to be seen. So Alex and Wilson went to the very back and took two seats by the isle. A few minutes later, the advertisements started playing. The last one started playing and still no sign of Kate and Patrick. She decided to text her.
Where r u? she asked.
Um...no where. Where r u?
In the theatre. The movie is starting!
Ok ok, I'll be there in a minute.
"So are they coming?" Wilson asked.
"She sais in a minute but if they were making out, then it could be a while for them to clean up."
"Have you see them do it?"
"Yes, funny story. I was walking to her apartment because we were going to watch some movies for her birthday. I walk up to the door and it is opened. I go inside, and I hear this weird sound. I follow it to the living room, and on the couch I see her making out with this guy I have never seen before. Let's just say, if I didn't stop them, I would be visiting Kate in the hospital soon."
Wilson chuckled softly. "What it feels like to be in love," he whispered.
"Have you ever been in love?" asked Alex.
"No, but I might be falling," he said staring at Alex. She immediately felt warm and relaxed. Little did they know the movie started. When they did figure out, they both faced forward, not acting like they just were staring dreamily into each others eyes.
The movie, so far was good and Alex had been able to bare it out, so far. She was just worried about the tea-party scene. Too many memories that pained her to remember. In the movie, Alice had just talked to the Cheshire Cat and was walking to the Mad Hatter's house. "It's ok," she thought, "I can do this." Wilson must have felt something too because he put her hand in his. The scene changed to the Mad Hatter's house. Alice walked up. The Hatter turned. "I can't do this," she concluded. She rose from her seat and ran out of the theatre. Wilson wondering what that was all about followed her.
Alex ran into the lobby. It was empty, thankfully, as she leaned against a wall and started to cry. The painful memory entered her thoughts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9-year-old Alex walked out of the theatre with her father and older brother. They just saw the newest version of Alice in Wonderland, their favorite book. Alex had the best of time.
"That is the best one yet!" said her older brother Marc, who was 11 at the time.
"Oh yes that was," said Alex as her father lift her up on his shoulders. "I liked the Mad Hatter the best."
"So did I," said Marc.
"Ditto,"said her dad. "Would you like a cup of tea?" he asked in his very well-done Hatter vioice.
"CLEAN CUP!" exvlaimed Marc in a really good March Hare voice.
"This whole place is mad!" said Alex doing her best Alice accent.
As the three walked the streets of New York City, they started re acting the Tea Party.
"You already answered that riddle!" said Alex's dad as The Mad Hatter.
"Oh well. Lets ask Alice then," said Marc as the March Hare.
"Ask me what?" said Alex.
"The riddle of course?" said her dad.
"What riddle?" asked Alex.
"Why is a raven like a writing desk." said Marc.
"Hmm, lets see," said Alex doing an Alice thinking pose. "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"
"I NEED A CLEAN CUP!" shouted Marc.
"Clean cup, clean cup, moving down!" said Alex's dad and he and the kids hopped down an imaginary table.
The next thing that happened, happened so fast, it was hard to tell how it happened. They family walked down the street, past an old building.
"The kids at school say that building is haunted," said Marc.
"Marc, I highly doubt that," said Alex's dad.
"Why is it haunted?" asked Alex.
"They said whoever goes close enough, gets trapped inside, and can never come out."
"That is right you know," said a voice from the shadows. A man stepped out. He looked tall and elderly. The family got into their fighting stances. The all took karate together.
"What do you want?" asked Alex's dad.
"You children," said the man. "Is that too much to ask?"
"You won't get my children over my dead body."
The old man sighed, "Must we do this the hard way?" he asked as three more men came out of the shadows.
All Alex remembered was helping her brother take down one guy, but then another came out and took Marc. He disappeared so fast that she could find him. She went to help her dad, but she found him being carried away also, out cold. Alex did what her gut told her. RUN!! She ran home as fast as she could. Her mother was surprised to see her coming home alone. Alex broke down into tears as she told her mom the whole story. She never saw them again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flaskback over---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex was on the floor crying. She didn't notice Wilson come up to her.
"Alex?" he asked, "Are you ok?"
Alex quickly tried to stop crying. "Its nothing," she said.
"You sure?" he asked, "It sure didn't seem like nothing."
"Well," she started then went into the whole story of how her brother and father were kidnapped.
"I'm so sorry," he said sounding sincere. "I'll be right back," he said then left.
Alex decided to sit on a bench. She rubbed her eyes and looked in a random direction. There, she saw something she hasn't seen in a while. It looked like the man from 10 years ago, but younger and more taller (if that was even possible.) Alex guessed he noticed that she was looking at him and ran away.
"Wait!" she said as she went after him.
Wilson's POV
I went to go get Alex something to make her feel better. I knew I probably wouldn't see her again so I figured it would be something that she could remember me by. When I got to where I left her. She was gone. I hear her voice a little ways and follow it. I see her run after something. I knew exactly what it was, so I ran after her. Hoping I could catch her before she made the biggest mistake of her life.
Alex's POV
I ran after that man for what seemed like forever. He ran out of the theatre and I could have swore I heard someone behind me. I chased him into the city. The way seemed familiar, but how? We ran by tons of buildings then he stopped at one and ran inside. I remembered this place. It was the place where I lost my brother and dad. I hesitated to go inside, but figured, if I'm ever going to get my family back, I should follow him.
I ran into the building. It was like a maze, but I heard someone walk behind me. So I acted like I was lost. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I balled my right hand into a fist. I spun around about to attack, but I found myself face to face with Wilson.
Normal POV
"What are you doing here?" Alex asked.
"I saw you run and I decided to come along in case you needed help."
"Why would you help me?"
"Because," Wilson started. "Kate and Patrick, they didn't plan this."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I have had a HUGE crush on you since our private karate class two months ago."
"That was you!!??" asked Alex.
"Yes," he said, "I just really wanted to see you again!"
Alex suddenly felt happy. Someone had been crushing on her. Weird, but nice.
"Come on, let's get out of here," said Wilson as he tried to pull her out of the building.
"No wait Wilson," she said. Wilson turned to face her. "This is where I lost my brother and dad. I want to find them."
"Alex, that is not a good idea," her said. "I'm not letting you do it!" Then he collapsed. Alex shrieked.
"Wilson. WILSON!" she said as she tried to shake him awake.
"Its ok," said a voice from the shadows. It sounded familiar. "He'll be fine, but you. You might want to leave. NOW!!"
Alex nodded and ran toward the exit, but then stopped. "I'm not losing another," she thought and quietly ran into the maze of a building after the man.
She chased him for what seemed like forever. Left and right, up and down stairs, and even through walls. After a long while of this, she followed him to an open room. She hid behind a wall so she wouldn't get caught. She saw the man took Wilson into the room and up to a looking glass. "Weird," she thought. "It looks like the one they described in "Through the Looking Glass." She saw the man pick up Wilson and jump into the Looking Glass as if it was made of air.
Alex slowly left her hiding place and walked up to the glass. She ran her hand over the cold metal frame. She touched the "glass." It felt watery and airy. Not like a normal glass. She thought she would just peak in and see if she could spot the man, but she lent too far in and fell into the glass. She went down, down, down feeling like she would never reach solid ground again. Then she hit something. She opened her eyes to see a city, but she felt dizzy. Alex tried to shake off the feeling, but it got worse and worse. She finally fell unconscious.
That was chapter 1. Lots of questions left in the air after this chapter. What happened to Wilson? What about Kate and Patrick? Will Alex find her family? These will be answered later in the story. Sorry for spelling/grammar mistakes. I am still new to this. Reviews are welcomed with opened arms and a cookie to those who read. Two for those who read and REVIEW!!! Tell me if I should update!!!
