Chapter 1: Escape from reality. Enter Wonderland.

It's not fair. Why does very thing bad that can happen, happen to me.

A small little girl with short black hair and green eyes, who is around the age of 8 years, sits on a bench inside a police station, waiting for any of her relatives to come get her.

First mom pasted away then sis and now dad too. Why did they have to leave me? Why? Why must I be left alone?

"But my dear, what about your other sister, Alice?"

That cold-hearted person is not my sister. If it wasn't for her dad would still be here. If she didn't run away, he would never have spent so many nights out looking for her leaving me alone in the house. He wouldn't have left this morning to go looking for her again. If he didn't go he would have come home and not die in some accident.

"What happened to him exactly?"

They wouldn't tell me. Probably cause I'm a child and they don't think I can handle it. I have already dealt with two, so why not tell me and let me handle one more.

Flashback: 4 hours ago.

"Daddy, where are you going?" asked the little girl.

"I'm going to look for Alice," replied the girl's father.

"But why do you have too," whined the little girl, "We're better off without her."

"How can you say that? Alice is your sister. The only sister you have left," the father said, surprised.

"If she truly was my sister she would have cried when mom died, not act as if she never existed. If she was my sister, she would not have run away when Lorina died and leave us behind. That person is not my sister."

"Edith, I know you are upset with her, but that does not mean you should hate her. I'm sure she mourns your mother's and Lorina's passing, as much as you do. Their deaths have been hard on us all. Look I have to get going now, you sure you don't want to come with me, I hate to leave you alone."

"Yes dad, I'm sure," the girl replied looking away from her dad.

"Very well," the father replied dejectedly, "I'll be back in two hours, no more. Keep an eye on the house for me."

"Okay. Promise to come back safe?"

"Of course. Goodbye Edith," said the dad as he walked out the front door.

"Bye dad."

Three hours later:

Knock, Knock.

"That must be daddy. He's late. He said two hours, it's been three."

As Edith opens the door, she is surprised to see, instead two uniformed police officers. She noticed one was very short compared to the other.

"Hello little girl, is your mother home?" asked the short one.

"No. No one is home, but me right now, though my dad should be back any minute now." replied Edith, confusion on her face as she wonder why the police where here.

"So there is no one else here? You're by yourself?" asked the taller officer in surprise.

Edith stared at him, wondering why he sounded a bit nervous.

"I will say again, I am the only one home. Why, did some thing happen?" The officers exchanged glances, but remained quit, which frightened Edith. "Did something happen to my dad?" she asked in a panicked voice.

At this both officers looked at each other before the short one sighed and turned to Edith.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but your father was caught in a...situtation, sort a like an accident." The officer paused before continuing. "He didn't make it."

At this Edith felt as though what remained of her life shattered like glass.

"W-What. T-That can't be true." she stuttered as her body slumped against the doorframe, the only thing keeping her from falling to the ground.

"I'm sorry, but it's true. Do you mind if we wait here for your mother?" asked one of the officers.

She couldn't tell who said this through her tears, but she didn't care. Nothing seemed to matter anymore.

"There is no one else. I'm the only one left . The rest of my family is dead."

"You poor thing. I'm so sorry," said the tall one.

"Can you come with us. We can't leave a small girl home alone. We'll contact some of your relatives and see if any can watch over you for now," said the short officer as he stretched out his hand for her to take.

"Ok." replied Edith in a small voice.

The entire time Edith was with them, she never stopped muttering

"He promised. He promised."

Present:

He promised to come back home, he promised.

"But he didn't come back."

Why must my life be so cruel? What caused it to be this way? What has my family ever done to disserve this?

"You have done nothing. Life just chooses to be cruel."

But why must it be? Why can't we be happy in our lives? Why must we suffer?

"Because that is the way life works. Everyone suffers at one point or another. Some more than others. There is nothing that can be done to stop it.

Then why can't I just disappear from this world and end my suffering. I know happy endings do not exist, but it is not fair that one person is made to suffer so much. If only I could leave this life.

"Ah but you can. Do you truly want to leave this world and everyone in it behind?"

How?

"You just have to come with me, but you must choose now. Do you want to leave or stay? This is the only time you can choose."

What if Alice comes looking for me? Shouldn't I stay here and wait for her?

"Wait, so you do care for you sister? I thought you hated her and blamed her for this."

Ha. What am I thinking? She is not my sister. If she was going to come back, she would have long ago. Your right, she is to blame for all this. There is nothing for me here. I don't want to stay any longer. You can take me with you now.

"Excellent choice."

Edith felt a pair of arms wrap around her and pull her backwards. All of a sudden she felt herself falling downwards and the world around her disappeared. As she fell she closed her eyes.

Good-bye cruel world.

No one noticed the little girl's disappearance. The only sign left behind was a single bloodstained black rose with a playing card attached. On it was a picture of a knight in white armor covered in blood stains with a smile on his face.

As Edith finally felt herself stop falling and she touched ground, she felt the arms around her let go. As she opened her eyes she heard a voice whisper in her ear.

"Welcome to your Wonderland."

What do you think. Do you like? Please R&R.

I will try to update as soon as I can. (I may also rewrite this chapter later)
