A/N: Ok. I never told you guys. I am one of the biggest Alice in Wonderland fans you will ever, ever meet. Now. I was looking into buying the 'American McGee's Alice' game. And I've been looking forward to the Tim Burton movie for… 4 years now. And I was realizing that, all this is in a different time period. So. Why not make it modern. Make it my own. So, I took the screen play of the game and made it modern, same with the actual move. And thus, this happened. I am actually proud of it. I can't wait to write it.

Crash
Alices' eyes snapped open, to reveal her emerald green eyes.
Snap
She turned her head to the right. She saw her oak bedside table and her small stuffed rabbit. She sat up and reach over. She turned on the lamp. She sighed as she spun her legs out from under the blue comforter, and swung them over the sides of her bed. She rested her elbows on her mid-thighs and put her head in her hands. She groaned and brushed her platinum blonde hair back. She slipped on her black slippers and stood up. She adjusted her blue shirt and her black and white stripped pajama pants.
She put her headband in and started walking out the door. The wooden floor creaked beneath her feet. She yawned as she made her way down the stairway. She stopped to glance at the antique clock on the wall. It was 2:13 A.M.
"You Woke me up at 2 in the morning you damn cat." She whispered. She kept going down the steps. As she got closer, the floor got hotter. She was too tired to put any thought into it. She saw a light on at the bottom of the steps.
"Mom?" She called, trying to get a better focus. She heard a faint crackle. Her breathing grew heavy as she fastened her walking.
"Dad?" She called. She finally reached the end of the stair case. It was then when she saw the fire at the far end corner of the room. Her parents room.
"Mom! Dad!" She screamed. She ran to the door, but stopped when she heard a voice.
"Alice! Get out of here!" Her dad's voice echoed.
"Not without you!" She yelled, but jumped when the fire snapped a part of the door frame.
"Listen to me now! Get out!" Her dads voice grew raspy. Alice felt her face grow red and hot. The fire was getting too close.
She listened to her father and ran up the stairs. Her vision was blurred from the tears and the smoke. She ran into her room, almost sliding on the rug by the door. She slammed her door shut. She quickly scanned the room, looking for anything she could grab fast. She grabbed an open black bag on the floor and threw in her stuffed rabbit, her shoes (Although she couldn't see which ones) A picture and a box she found under her bed. Unsure of what she really grabbed she looked back at her bedroom door, which was now cracking. She saw the glow of the fire under the door. She screamed.
She ran to the window and broke it opened. She looked down at the snowy two story drop. She knew she had to get out. Without thinking, she jumped. The last she remembered she was falling, then hit the cold ground…
"She hasn't spoken a word." The deep voice said. "She's been here for a month."
"You don't understand." Another, higher voice, said. "We need her out, NOW."
"Well sir I don't think I can do that." The other voice replied.
On and on it went. Alice turned in her bed. Her brown hair in her face. She brushed it behind her ear as she stared at her belongings. She silently sat up in bed. Her hair, ending at her mid back, brushed her upper arm.
She walked to the bag she brought with her. She kneeled down and looked at the picture she brought. It was her, with her parents. She was 8, holding her little stuffed rabbit. Her mind flashed back to that year.
"I swear mommy! It was here! It was so pretty!" A young Alice said, running up the rabbit hole.
"Alice, you were just asleep." Her mom reassured her, again.
"But there was a rabbit! And a queen! And there was a tea party!" Alice recapped on everything that happened.
Her mom shook her head and sighed. "Alice, it was just a dream now let's go home." her mom grabbed Alices' arm and led her away from the garden.
"But it was here…" Alice said under her breathe.
Alice put the picture back in the bag. Then she pulled out the box. She remembered she didn't know what was in it. She opened it to reveal A small bottle, Some twine, her mothers old wrist watch, A mirror, and a book. She heard a bang and almost dropped the box. She shoved everything back in her bag. She stood up.
She heard people shouting through the metal door. She heard someone struggling to get in her room. She back up against the wall, staring at the door, not breathing.
A man finally managed to get in the room. He stood in the doorway for a few minutes, scanning her up and down. He had light gray hair, and was wearing a black fadora hat. He also had a red silk vest over a white dress shirt. He wore pure black dress pants and black dress shoes.
"My, my, my." The man said quietly. "How you've grown…"
Alices' eyes grew wide. She was worried of what this man was going to do.
A scream took the man out of his state. "Come, come!" The man said getting closer. Alice backed up. She grabbed her bag. Something about the man seemed familiar though…
"Please miss, we're very, very late!" He explained.
Alice shook her head. She froze up.
"Miss, I don't want to but if I must, I will forcefully bring you out. Now, which will it be." The man rested his body. She noticed, he was very skinny. Maybe around 30 years old. She wasn't sure, she never paid much attention to age and how people looked for that matter. She tightened her grip on her bag and looked into his light gray eyes. She decided going with this man, might be for her benefit.
She nodded and followed the man. He sped out of the room.
"Hurry now! We haven't much time!" She ran after him. She looked at the halls. They were once pure white, now they had ruby red plasters in parts of them. She looked forward. The man was running now. She picked up pace and followed him. It was odd. Not seeing anyone in the whole hospital. It made her nervous about the man. Well, more then she already was. They reached the glass door exit.
"Come, come miss. We mustn't waist time." She gave the man a weird look as he pushed her out the door. A ruby red corvette waited on the other side. Now she was confused.
The man ran to the drivers side of the car. He opened the door, then stopped and looked up at her. She was staring at the car in a daze.
"What part of 'in a hurry' don't you understand Ms. Kingsley?" He asked, rising his eye brows. She shook her head and walked up the car. She heard sirens near by. She swung open the door and hopped in. She didn't have anytime before he sped the car up to 90.
"What the hell is going on!" She shouted.
"You've got quite a mouth on you miss." the man said, not taking his eyes off the road.
"Well I'm sorry I don't like strange middle aged men basically kidnapping me!" She shouted.
She kept her eyes on the man. She said that without really looking at him. He had strong and smooth features. No where near the age of 30...
"Alice, I've aged as you have. I'm only 23. You know this. And admit it, you would do anything to leave that place. Which explains why you came with me." He said calmly.
"Then why is your hair white? Where am I? Where are you taking me? How do you know my name?" She demanded.
"Is it really that impossible for you to keep your god damned mouth shut?" The man said sighing.
"And I'm the one with the mouth?" She asked.
"Just, shut up and I'll explain when we get there." He said.
"And what was with the formal act back there? Calling me Miss and everything?" Alice started to calm down.
"That was before I saw how your attitude grew. So please, if you don't mind just keep your mouth shut and we'll get along fine."
Alice groaned and kicked the dash board.
"Please be kind to the car." He said.
She rolled her eyes. Then she realized where they were.
"Uhm, why the hell are we in a forest? In a Corvette?" She questioned.
"I don't want to raise my voice at you miss." The man said. "So as I keep repetitively saying, shut your mouth."
Alices' face grew red. Who did he think he was? Breaking her out of the hospital, kidnapping her, and taking her to a forest.
"I expect answers." She said sternly.
"And I expected you to be quiet. Not talking for a month and all. And apparently your not so innocent anymore." The man glanced down at her bandaged wrists. She saw this, then pulled her white sleeves over her wrists.
Then next 10 minutes were silent. Until, finally, the man stopped at a willow tree. The man got out of the car, then went around to open Alices' door. She got out and just stared at the man for a few moments.
"It's not polite to stare." He said walking up to the tree.
"It's not polite to kidnap. I don't even know you." She said, crossing her arms.
The man began knocking on the tree, each time in a different place.
"You honestly can't remember me?" He asked her.
"No." She said.
"He sighed and stopped knocking on the tree. He took out a golden pocket watch and snapped it open. He then shut it and put it back in his pocket.
"Does the term, Wonderland mean anything to you?" He asked.
She shook her head.
"Queen of Hearts?" He asked.
Again, she shook her head.
"You really have forgotten…" He said trailing off, looking down. He turned back to the tree and began knocking again.
"Can you at least tell me your name?" She said.
"Just call me sir that is all you'll need to know." He said.
"Fine then. Sir, where they hell have you taken me?"
He groaned and walked back up to her. He grabbed her forearms, which were still crossed. "Miss Alice, last time I remember you were so quiet. Can we please go back then? Hmm?"
He quickly went back to the tree. Finally, he kicked one spot, the wood broke, revealing a large hole in the ground. Alice looked puzzled.
The man smirked and went to grab Alice.
"Don't touch me." She said backing up.
He frowned. "Just grab your bag and hurry up. We're off schedule."
Alice walked back to the car and grabbed her bag. She turned around and the man was there. He picked her up.
"What are you doing! Put me down you jack ass!" She began hitting his back. It had no affect.
He brought her to the hole in the ground.
"Welcome back miss." He whispered in her ear. He dropped her.
"And I'm the rabbit miss… The white rabbit." He whispered before jumping down himself.
A/N: So, what do you think? And I know some people are like "Hey! At the beginning you said platinum blonde hair! Why the hell is it brown now!" Well, I'll tell you. After the 'accident' Alice became very depressed and found that her light hair didn't fit her. (We will explain this in later chapters what happened after the accident so please wait) Also, "Why is the white rabbit a person?!" Well really, how do you expect a rabbit to break into a Insane asylum and free Alice? And I think he's much better as a human and uhm… hotter ^^ haha yes I'm just that cool. (Wait till you read about the mad hatter) I'm making some people older in this, and some younger too so just wait. Now, click that nice little green button down there ^^
