A New Game
Chapter 1: 3 Sneezes for a wish
Once upon a time a girl followed the white rabbit down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Wonderland a bizarre place filled with insanity but nonetheless the girl loved this new world she had found, till she wake up and discovered it was all a dream, then the girl returned to her normal, dismal and dull life. That is how the story should go.
~~~000~~~
Peter White, Prime Minister of Wonderland Heart country, sighs deeply with a large frown on his face and ears down. The Dream demon Nightmare floats above with is arms crossed, "what is the matter Peter, the last time you were this gloomy was when Alice said no to a picnic" the incubus says slightly irritated by the depressed white rabbit.
"Alice's decision to leave wonderland makes me believe that I should weave further underground" the rabbit rhymes hold his hands over the area of his chest where hi clock lay.
Nightmare sighs, "Peter, Alice's decision was hers alone she had already made up her mind and there was nothing stopping her from leave, nor could anyone change her mind" the incubus replies holding the side of his face and shaking his head. "So please stop sulking or am I going to have to drag the Hatter or the Knight instead for this piece of news I have for you" he announces with a smirk starting to form on his face.
Peter's ears slightly prop up and he raises his head, "what is it? Alice is returning?!" he asked hopefully but the floating man shakes his head making the white rabbit glare, "then what is it?"
Nightmare flinches slightly then calms down and returns to the seriousness. "I'm going to help you get over Alice" the dream demon proudly announces smirking with pride, only to have the minister's gun pointed in his face "H-HEY!" Nightmare cries and starts to cough up a bit of blood and Peter sighs pulling back his gun.
"I love Alice and no one who ever they may be will ever extinguish that love!" he growls glaring at the now pathetic looking incubus. "But please do tell what this plan to help me was"
Nightmare stand and wipes his mouth, "it's not just you it's wonderland moron, I've decided that we need to bring a new outsider into wonderland, as I believe it will help and will heal wonderland" Nightmare explains now cleaned up.
Peter put his gun away and crossed his arms listening, "and who are they?" he asks still with a glare on his face.
"I said I have decided that a new outsider should be brought here, not that I have already found them, idiot listen to me!" Peter grits his teeth and his ears twitch in slight anger. "I will allow you to go into the outside world and have free rein to look for a new outsider" Nightmare adds smirking proud with his plan.
"And if I refuse?" Peter asks crossing his arms, "then I'll just get another Role holder to go, I'm sure Ace would be more than happy to do it, but then so would Blood even Boris" the white rabbit flinches feeling insulted.
"I'll do it, I want to choose who I will use to get over my heart break" Peter replies turning round to leave the dream realm. Nightmare frowns in his realm now watching Peter leave the dream realm, "Maybe I should have told him that when a new game starts with a new foreigner the previous game and foreigner are forgotten…?" he asks himself now being totally alone.
Then all of a sudden the voice of a young woman rings through the dram realm, with the words start with I wish. "I wish I could go to Wonderland" with that Nightmare smirks and creates a portal to stare at the girl who had made the wish and holds his chin staring at the girl, she had hair that was a bright reddish orange that came just past her shoulders and had a slight wave to it, she wore a black dolly dress with the top covered with a black mess jumper, along with a pair of knee high black converse. Her eyes were a honey brown and her milky skin just made her eyes and hair stand more, along with the few light brown freckles across face; mostly on her cheeks. The girl was sat under a tree in a park with a book on her lap, the way how she was right now under the tree strangely resembled Alice; that blonde did enjoy reading a book under at tree.
"The white rabbit chose the last foreigner, it's my turn I believe to pick" the incubus says holding his hand out to create a glow forming a connection with the girl. "My Peter will be in for a shock when this one is able to see him" Nightmare chuckles to himself.

"ACHOO! ACHOO! ACHOO! Arkk I wish I could go to wonderland" Katherine Moore a photography student at UAL. She was sat under a tree in her local park with the book Alice in Wonderland in hand and rested on her lap. Beside her lay a camera case and her bag, on her other side a salt beef roll, packet of sweet chilli kettle chips and a bottle of Dr. Pepper.
Turning the page Kathie grins widely reading the part of the mad hatter's tea party. The young woman turns a few more pages then reaches up and combs her fingers through her ginger hair then lowers it to take a crisp. "Man I really wish I was in wonderland, if just to experience the madness there and leave the madness from here" she comments to herself flicking through pages to the maddest moments of the novel.
The red haired girl then yawns loudly suddenly feeling really sleepy, for a spit second her eyes close and she falls asleep. But as her head begins to fall she manages to wake her by body whipping her head back up, the movement was enough to wake Kathie. But during while her head whips back up words echo through her head; "Hey, did you know? Every game has its rules. And those rules are decided from the beginning. But you already knew that, right?" Then the photography student's ears are suddenly filled with the loud sound of ticking as she attempts to wake herself up by drink the whole context of her Dr. Pepper. The words spoken and ticking sounds are easily pushed off by Katherine, as she just assumes it's because she's been reading a book filled with insanity for quite some time.
Sighing and realizing it might be a good idea to pack up and make a move, she does just that pack up and gathers her stuff off the grass and starts to move towards the exit of the park. But just in the corner of her eye she spots something mind-bowling and out of this world, the thing she loves the most to capture in image.
"Blooming heck…" the red head says staring in absolute shock and amazement at the white rabbit standing on his hind legs, fully dressed in brown trousers and red jacket with a pink ruffled collar from the shirt underneath. Kathie's cheek flush slightly at the rabbit cuteness as he hides behind a bush observing all the people in the park, the red haired girl can't help but giggle noticing his strong scowl.
A mental light bulb pops in Katherine's brain as she finds this a perfect moment to capture so she unzip the camera bag and pulls out her camera, she aims for the white standing up right rabbit and adjusts the lens to get it how she desires with the background to fuzz out but to focus on the rabbit.
After taking for the first few photos of the rabbit, the white furred creature's ears twitch and he turns his head to the fiery haired girl and steps back. S-She sees me? The white rabbit then turns and kneels down with his front paws on the ground, he notes that the girl steps forward while still taking photos. The rabbit glares and leaps forward to go straight into a dash.
Katherine gasps and holds the camera tightly taking off herself following the rabbit. "Hey Come Back! Please!" she calls out finding it hard to keep up, to her delight the rabbit does slow in his pace.
Finally someone is following me! The rabbit cheers mentally as he has now gotten out of Kathie's sight.
Katherine reaches the edge of the park and looks round for the rabbit, she sighs deeply and packs the camera away and starts to turn around to leave the park but find she cannot. "EKK!" she sheiks seeing the large cavern in front of her blocking her path to leave, she the shock of the sudden hole Katherine falls back on her bottom with her arms behind her as she leans back a bit. "What the hell? Where did this damn hole come from?!" the photography student asks in a panic eyeing the hole trying to come to grips with its size and being.
Hearing light foot steps behind her and followed by loud ticking causing Katherine to turn her head round to expect in seeing the small cute white rabbit, but instead she finds a man standing over her with white rabbit ears matching his white hair, covering his red eyes were frameless glasses.
The rabbit eared man kneels down to Kathie holding his hand out with a soft smile, "you are the first outsider – that I've met – who has followed me, I do not feel so hollowed" he states looking Katherine right in her confused honey brown eyes that then move to the white gloved hand, she gulps and slips her hand slowly into the rabbit eared man's hold and he gently helps her stand. "Shall we finish this little chase and diminish this silence once we have descended" to confused to question or even comprehend what was happening, Katherine just nodded and kept silent.
The rabbit man walks towards the hole holding Kathie's hand tightly in his then with no warning, except turning to the red head with a wide smile and he jumps into the hole pulling her him down the large dark cavern.
"AHHHHH NO! NO! NO!" Katherine screams hysterically waving her arms about like a mad man in a shallow pool. "Hahaha! Do not worry will not die!" The rabbit ear man says as he just stands in his place, as if he was not even falling. Noting this Kathie closes her eyes and chants, "Falling is just like flying" she says over and over till the sensation of falling leaves her and the feeling of soaring through the sky comes to her instead making the process of falling more bearable; well till she suddenly passes out after turning on her back to stare up and sees the distance she has already fallen.

{Katherine}
Finally starting to wake up I feel something hard and cool beneath me, I never thought I would miss concrete so much…WAIT! I open my eyes and sit up quickly only to then regret it having a strong dizzy feeling making me fall forward to get a closer look at the concrete. I was in the park…yes then I saw that rabbit in clothes that stood on two legs, I followed it in hopes to get some good photos for this semester and to also return it to its owner, but then there was a hole. I push myself to look above me and see no hole as I hoped but a brilliant blue sky, for a moment I forgot about worrying about the hole and took my camera out taking few shots of the sky.
"Ah you're awake I do not need to shake you" I flinch up to sitting as the rabbit eared man that pulled me down the hole was leaning over me. I gulp staring at him then quickly snap a picture of him. "How rude of me..." he starts and stands holding a hand out for me, at first I was hesitate to take it as I did not trust this bunny eared man after jumping into the hole shenanigan, but I do take his hand and let him pull me to my feet.
The rabbit eared man then bows to me, "My name is Peter White" he introduces then looks at me "and your name?" he says gesture his hand out for me to introduce myself.
"Oh right sorry, yes" I start putting my hands over my mouth, "Katherine Moore" I introduce holding up a passport, drivers licence – though I did not own a car – and birth certificate, I always liked to be prepared in knowing when I might be IDed. "W-Where am I?" I then asking putting my Identification away and looking round what a appeared to be a roof of a large building we were on, I walk to the edge of the roof and look round this land I'm in seeing an Amusement park to my delight, a large castle with hearts as the theme and lastly a large mansion with hats as the theme.
"Wonderland" at Peter's answer my eyes widen in shock then I go into disbelief. "Wonderland yeah right ahaha!" I laugh "am I being punk'd right now? Hey! Kieran and Olivia you can come out now I know it's a prank to get back for last summer!" when I get no reply from friends or a sigh and a whine of defeat, I stare back at a very confused Peter.
"I don't have any idea what this Punk'd is but I'm certainly not doing it" he replies and I lower my gaze back down to the world and note each place, I then pull my book of Alice's adventures in wonderland and flick through to all the destinations she went to and look back the world I'm in and gasp stepping back dropping the book.
This is really happening? I'm in wonderland the real wonderland from my book! But…But it should be Alice not me right? I look back at the rabbit man as he takes a small glass vile from his jacket and smiles at me.
"You must drink this please Katherine" he says holding it out to me and I step back, "heck no I never drink substances I'm not familiar with!" I reply with a stern look only to get a slightly annoyed sigh from the rabbit eared man as he removes the heart shaped top of the vile I raise my brow and have my arms up in a defensive position, but it is useless as Peter grabs the back of my jaw holding it still and slams the vile to my lips, he tits the vile and my head back helping the liquid go down my throat.
Urgh god this stuff tastes horrid! It's weird and scary at the same time and doesn't really have a particular flavour! I grip the rabbit eared man's sleeve yanking at it hoping to pull him away having no choice but to drink this liquid or else I would choke. Finally Peter pulls back dropping the glass vile on the floor – the vile does not break surprisingly – and I collapse to the floor coughing and holding my throat, "good bye Katherine Moore, I hope to see you again I do wish I get to know you better" I hear the rabbit man say and I look up at him and look confused at the sudden attire change.
Peter White now wore a pair of red pants and a white jacket that instead of buttoned was up to show a red waist coat and pink shirt with normal collar, going round his hip was a chain with a large clock attached to it, tied round his neck and under his collar was a black white tie with an actually ticking clock printed on it. Peter now had fine white framed glasses that actually suited him rather well.
Just as the rabbit man was about to leave he peeped his head back through the door way, "Welcome to the game Katherine" he says then leaves me alone on the roof confused at what he was going on about, what was actually going on at all.
