Chapter Two: Alice meets the queen
Alice was in shock she had never seen some one as beautiful as the queen. She had long flowing black hair and bright purple eyes, pale skin and lips as red as roses. Her garments were expertly sewn and were a bright crimson color with small jewels stitched to the bodice. She wore a pair of heeled boots of red leather with hearts on the sides; this queen obviously had exquisite taste. Alice looked at her own simple garb in sham she was not properly dressed to meet the queen. Alice was wearing only a simple blue dress with ruffles at the bottom and a brass zipper going up the back the bodice was simple with only a few embellishments here and there. She wore simple strips stockings and black flats.
The queen looked at Alice and smiled for she had been expecting her all day. "How are you Alice" asked the queen with a smile, "it is so nice to finally meet you, I hope my page did not give you too much trouble." Alice only stared she was not expecting the Queen to be so nice. "I am doing fine your majesty", Alice answered "and the rabbit was no trouble at all, although I can't help but feel he is slightly bipolar." The queen laughed at Alice answer and agreed with Alice's statement. "You are welcome in my kingdom anytime young one, with a sense of humor like that how could you ever be boring." Alice took that as a complement coming from the queen and decided to ask why she had been brought here anyway. "you majesty" Alice asked in her most polite voice, "why is it that you were expecting me today, for even I did not know I would be coming here today."
The queen chuckled at Alice obvious lack of information and began to tell Alice of why she had brought her here. "Dear sweet Alice it is obvious that you have not been told of the prophesy, therefore I will tell you. A long time ago when I was about your age my elder sister ruled the land. She was a kind and gentle soul but she died in child birth and I became the queen. I loved my sister very much and I tried to be a good queen but my people do not like me as they did my sister, and they revolt against me. One day it was foretold that a young girl named Alice would come to Wonderland and return it to its former glory. That is why I brought you here maybe you can help me to become a better queen and help me to regain the love of my people."
That was a lot to take in, and Alice did not know what to think. She believed the queen and decided that since she was here she would help the queen however she could, after all the queen had been so kind to her so far. "I would be glad to help however I can" said Alice with a smile. The queen smiled and called for a room to be set up for Alice and a feast to be prepared.
That night after the feast Alice was returning to her room when she spotted a door slightly opened. Her natural curiosity took hold and she went in through the large door. To her surprise she found a boy about her age sitting at the window. Alice gasped for she realized who this boy was; he was the rabbit she had met earlier. He had the same waist coat and pocket watch and fluffy white ears. At the sound of her gasp he turned around. At first he looked surprised then angry and then a bit sad. Alice wondered what was wrong with him so she asked. "Why do you look like a boy when I clearly remember you being a rabbit this morning, "Alice said this with a questioning look, but seeing that he did not answer she went on, "why do you look so sad did I do something wrong?" Again the rabbit boy did not answer he only turned away from her and continued to stare out of the window. By this point Alice was getting annoyed; why did he not answer her and why did he look so sad. Alice being as impatient as she was went up to the boy, turned him around and asked "what is your problem why won't you talk to me?" Finally he spoke, but his voice sounded different from the way he had spoken this morning. "I am fine leave me alone." He said in a sweet yet sad voice. Alice was surprised that was not what she had been expecting to hear so she tried a different approach.
"Hello my name is Alice what's yours?" He started to speak but then stopped. After a little more prodding, he finally answered "My name is Peter." "Nice to meet you Peter, I was wondering are you the same 'rabbit' that I talked to this morning." He only nodded. "When we talked earlier you were a bit rude to me I just thought I would let you know." Peter looked at her and said "sorry about that when I am a rabbit I am not quite myself, any way what brings you here to my room." Alice blushed she was not quite sure what to say so she just apologized. "You don't have to apologize I enjoy the company I don't get man visitors any more, not since…oh never mind anyway it is getting late and I believe you should get some sleep. Alice agreed feeling tired all so a sudden and returned to her room for a good night's sleep.
