Chapter 2: Where Is Here?

Alice landed on a soft patch of grass with a muffled whump. Standing up she observed her surroundings. She had landed in a round clearing, six feet in diameter. It was surrounded on all sides by a thick forest. The only way out of the clearing was through a clear cut path straight through the forest. To Alice's dismay, the forest stretched on for a mile on all sides, and the forest was too dense to hike through. She had no choice but to take the gloomy looking path. Shrugging her shoulders she stepped onto the path, immediately the way back into the clearing was blocked by vines and branches that began forming a door. She continued moving down the forest path.

Fifteen minutes later she arrived at a fork in the path. There weren't any signs so she had to pick a path. So she decided to take the path on the right. She walked quickly, keeping her eyes on the path ahead.

She continued on like that for another forty-five minutes, seeing nothing but trees, but eventually the trees began to thin and she came to a field. Walking a little more she came to a house. She could hear voices and laughing.

Cautiously, she walked up to the party. There was lots of strange looking people. She felt something familiar about the place, like she knew these people at some point. Suddenly the chatter stopped and all heads turned toward her. Her face began to burn as everybody stared at her. "Um, hello," she said, waving her hand slightly. Then a boy, maybe slightly older than herself came toward her. His attire was something she had never seen before. And he wore a large top hat tilted on his head. He was very handsome, with ash blonde hair and mischievous grey eyes. He reminded her of Mr. Havenfield.

"You're here. We've been waiting for you Alice," he said, smiling a Cheshire smile.

"Um, but, where is here?"
