Belarus opened the door to the library slowly. She had an eerie feeling.

After successfully getting kicked out of her brother's house, again, she had been noticing rabbit footprints leading to her house. On any other day it wouldn't bother her. In fact she would sometimes mix rabbit in with her draniki. But since the snow has been unbearably heavy to actually go anywhere if you were so small, and the fact that they should be hibernating, it was an odd sight.

Belarus took a step into the library and looked around. It was quiet and warm. A fire was crackling in the mantle and the curtains were closed giving her solitude. Books were lined up on shelves and a large chair was placed just out of reach of the licking flames.

She walked towards the chair and sat down with a "huff". She pulled out her knife and gripped it. She was about to throw it out of the anger she constantly seemed to suffer from, when a book fell.

Belarus's eyebrows drew together and she stood up. She took hesitant steps towards a book that read белы трус on the cover.

She set down her knife and picked the book up looking from side to side to see if there was some kind of evidence to why it fell. There was a bent page. She turned towards it and looked at it with huge eyes. It was a picture of her holding a dead rabbit.

Belarus closed the book and placed it back on the shelf, her eyes darting around the library. There was nothing out of the ordinary but a chilling feeling kept crawling up the back of her neck.

She sighed, took a step backwards, and spun around smacking the imposter with the flat of her knife.

She looked down with anger rising. She knew someone was in here, but she didn't expect him to be so stupid to come up right behind her.

Having experience when it came to sneaking up on people (cough cough Russia…) it was impossible to go unnoticed.

Belarus stepped on the imposter's chest and felt the air escape from his lungs. She looked down at his face and scowled in disgust.

How dare this man try to steal from her.

She lifted her foot from his chest and gasped.

Austria looked back at her with worried eyes. He stared at Belarus and then reached into his pocket. He pulled out a giant pocket watch and swore silently to himself.

"What are you doing here?" Belarus hissed pointing her knife at him.

Austria sat up and looked at her. "I'm not sure. But it does not matter where I am now, I'm late!"

Belarus pricked his neck wither blade and asked again, "What are you doing here?"

Austria batted away her hand that held the knife and stood up quickly. He brushed off his clothes with his hands and picked out the book that had fallen. He flipped through the pages until he made it the same one that was folded.

Belarus watched unsure of what was going on. She watched uneasily as he kept whispering to himself "hurry up…I'm late…I'm late…damn it hurry…" and threw the book down, the pages facing up.

Austria started to speak in an impossible language and the book began to glow. A bright light flashed and suddenly Austria was gone.

Belarus's eyes widened and she rushed over to the book. She picked it up and blinked a couple times. It was the same picture but she was missing. A giant white spot in the book was left, making an outline of where her picture was. The background of forest and the rabbit was still there though.

She blinked as she noticed a small print where the white was. It was so small she could barely read it.

"Кніга ў выглядзе тунэля, які вядзе ўніз,
Падаючы, падае, падае на зямлю.
Вось свет мудрагелістыя,
Сардэчна запрашаем у краіну цудаў ... Беларусь"

"The book is in the form a tunnel leading down,
Falling, falling, falling to the ground.
Here is a world of abstruse,
Welcome to Wonderland…Belarus."

It was after she had finished reading that the book exploded.

Light shot out from the book and enfolded the room. It seeped into the shadows and the blinding light drowned her.

Suddenly she was falling.

The ground had disappeared from under her and the library was getting smaller and smaller as she looked up while tumbling down.

The air was forcefully slamming into her eardrums, and strange objects kept ramming into her.

A piano was playing an odd tune by itself, and a Xindi matched it.

They swirled around her, playing the awful noise which seemed to be the tune of a European nursery rhyme.

As she fell she could hear an almost mocking voice chanting,

"The book is a tunnel leading down,
Falling, falling, falling to the ground!"

Belarus swore and was suddenly smacked on the back by something. She looked down and saw that she was no longer falling.

In fact she had been caught by what seemed to be a large flag made by several flags sewn together.

She sat up and looked towards the small hole that seemed to be miles higher than her.

"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!"

Belarus snapped her head towards Austria who was bounding past her.

"Hey!" she screamed after him.

When he didn't respond and kept running, she bounded after him reaching for the knife she kept hidden under the skirt of her dress.

She swore loudly when she realized she didn't have it, but kept running. "Damn it! Listen to me!" she grabbed Austria by the collar of his overcoat and started to hit him rapidly in the face.

"Let go of me!"

"Not until you answer me!" Belarus continued to smack him until his cheek was a scarlet.

"Okay! Okay!"

Belarus let Austria go and he rubbed his cheek. "What do you want? I'm in a hurry here in case you haven't noticed."

"Where am I?"

Austria looked confused. He looked up, then down, then back at her. "I'm not sure. But that has no matter! There is no purpose to where you are now if you must go to someplace different!"

With that he bolted off.

"Hey!" she screamed after him. "I'm not done asking you questions!" she walked off the giant flag of flags and saw footprints leading to a large door.

Only they weren't human footprints. They were rabbits.

Belarus could feel her brain trying to make out the situation.

She saw rabbit tracks on her way back home, a book titled "White Rabbit" fell without anything happening to it, Austria suddenly appeared, Austria did something to the book, she fell down, met Austria again, and now rabbit prints. Again.

Belarus balled her hands into fists.

It was Austria's fault damn it. She had to find him.

So she followed the rabbit footprints, and towards the large door.

All the while the same mocking voice kept chanting

"Here is a world of abstruse,
Welcome to Wonderland…Belarus."

A/N: This is going to be majorly different and the exact same from the books by Lewis Carroll at different points. This is just an intro/prologue kinda thingy… hope you enjoyed it :D
