A/N: Okay, so this actually follows the movie and not the book. This idea has been on my mind for more than two years and I don't know why it took me so long before writing this. Oh well, enjoy!

Prologue
She blinked a few times, her eyes clear, pacific blue. Her soft pink lips parted a little, and her cheeks burned. She dropped to her knees as she continues catching her own breath. Beads of sweat dripped down her neck. Her head was spinning. Where was she? As far as she could remember, she was in front of her house that night, in her hand an old, silver pocket watch. She threw it on the ground.
And then she was here, inside an unfamiliar manor. There was a turquoise piano on her left, playing by itself. Her eyes widened. She looked around. Where was this place? Her eyes filled in bewilderment. There were pots of roses everywhere and a bench at the center of the room. Odd, she thought. Just then, she heard something creak. She turned around.
There were two people in front of her. One was a man in a dark suit, with a hat and a feather on it, and young woman in a purple velvet dress. She stared at the lady before her eyes. She couldn't have been dreaming, could she?
The girl had wavy carrot hair just like hers. They were of the same height and most likely, age. She examined her from head to toe. They were identical!
Her jaw dropped.
"Where in the world I am?"
A huge black dog appeared and barked three times. Frightened, she took a step back.
"Who are you?" She finally asked. "Where am I?"
"I should be the one asking you that question. Introduce yourself." The lady told her.
She tried to be calm but her hands were a little shaky. "I'm Maria. Maria Merrywheather."
The girl's eyes widened. She shook her head. "No, it…it can't be."
The lad finally moved and spoke. "Stay here while I call everyone else." And with that he left as quickly as possible.
And then it was only the two of them in the room, two girls having the same face.
The girl in the dress cleared hear throat, and spoke in shaky voice.
"My name is Maria Merrywheather too."
