Alice lay awake in the night, staring at her ceiling. She had knew about what Camilla was talking about. Still, she had to shake her head and say, "Oh Camilla, you come up with the craziest ideas.". Alice then shut her eyes and hoped to fall asleep. Minutes later, she heard a familiar voice. It sounded like it was far away but Alice still recognized it. Alice opened her eyes to a dark room where the only lighting was coming from the moon and the lantern by her bedside table. Alice carefully examined her room. It looked different some how but Alice couldn't put her finger on it. Ah Ha! She now noticed her desk was missing. Along with her drawings of the so-called Wonderland were no longer on her walls.
Alice then noticed a shadow coming from her window that was shaped as a square. She threw her covers off of her cold legs and got up to go to her window. She inched slowly not knowing what she might see. When she had finally arrived to her window she peered out. A card was resting on the branch. This wasn't just any card though. It was a card that was as large as Alice herself and it had arms and legs. It was a Queen of Diamonds. "Hello Alice." The card said in a raspy voice. Alice opened her mouth to speak but ran out of words. A white, submissive rabbit was now resting on the cards legs. "Oh Alice, you probably don't remember me. Oh but I remember you quite well." The card giggled. Alice was now back into her body. "Who are you and what do you want with Camilla?" Alice slurred as if she was drunk. "We want you back... to rule Wonderland." the card said while stroking the docile rabbit. "No no no no no, nooo i don't want to come back. Stop messing around with my heeeaaaad!" Alice yelled.
"Alice?" Alice heard Mildred, her step mother, knock on her door. Alice collapsed to the floor and began to cry. What was it that had this power over her? "Alice, I'm coming in!" Mildred said sternly. Mildred opened the door and ran to Alice's side. "What is it Alice? Please tell me what is making you act like this." Mildred then began patting Alice's back. " Mildred, do you remember when I was little and I had that crazy idea of a world I went to?". Mildred nodded. Alice opened her mouth to continue but realized she sounded crazy. "Well... I think Camilla is going through it.". "Oh... I think it's just a phase, don't worry.". Mildred then tucked in Alice and left the room. Alice peered out the window one last time before blowing out the lantern. The rabbit was staring back at her and it winked. Was that all a dream? Was Mildred in the dream?
