Alice fell onto her bed with a thud, her heart hammering in her chest. She clutched the glass tightly, staring at it in shock.
It. Was. Full.
The last time it had been full, she had gone home almost immediately. But, even though she left, she had felt a pang in her heart. She regretted leaving almost as soon as she had gotten back to her world. Even though she hadn't even gotten a chance to see her sister, Alice had been so relieved when Blood had come to get her. She felt so safe here, in Wonderland of all places, a world that was so weirdly different than the one she had grown up in.
But, even when the people could care less about human life, they were her friends.
Her family.
Boris, a cat who always knew how to make her feel better.
Pierce, a mouse who could make her smile.
Ace, the bipolar brother she never knew she wanted.
Julius, a father she never thought she would have.
Queen Vivaldi, a crazy older sister Alice knew to avoid.
The Twins, battle crazy younger brothers.
Blood, the man who may or may not be of her dreams.
Elliot, a protective older brother.
Peter White, the asylum bound twice removed by law cousin.
Nightmare, an Uncle who always had her back.
Gray, the guy she knew could run all of Wonderland without trying.
They were her family, they had taken care of her and treated her like a princess. They had made rainy days bright (sometimes by just taking her to a different realm), and were always there for her. Alice loved them dearly, and just thinking about them made her smile.
But the thing was, they weren't her real family.
Her real family was in the real world, and she had to get back to them.
Alice looked at the vial in her hand as she pushed herself back onto her feet. She had to go home, right? But, she couldn't just leave without saying goodbye...
Could she?
