I tried to get up, but that just made me dizzy. So I just knelt on the ground, and looked at my surroundings, just a bunch of trees, but I could see a mansion in the distance.

I slowly got up, trying to not cause myself to get dizzy again, only to hear rustling behind me. I whipped around, causing my head to spin.

"You, lady." Two boys said in unision, one was in a red outfit, the other in a blue outfit. The both of them were holding scythes, and both covered in blood, including there scythes, though they looked no older than 14.

"This is Hatter territory, you don't look familiar, so you aren't allowed." The two boys yet again said in unison, pointing there scythes at me. Holy crap! Are they seriously going to hurt me? I wondered.

"Yeah, well. Sorry!" I booked it out of there, though I could hear them giving chase. In spite of what just happened, I decided to not go to the mansion and decided to run away from it, in any direction.

I knelt on the ground again, panting, and realizing how far I ran. I had soon come to a tower just as night had fallen, though a second ago it was just morning.

"You don't look familiar, so let me guess, another outsider?" A man appeared infront of me, sighing in annoyance. He had long, tied back, purple hair, and really tall.

"I guess you can call me that. Since I really don't belong here." I replied, though the man just squinted, and walked away.

"Come along then." The man grumbled, holding a door open for me, and I quickly followed the man inside the tower.

"My name is Julius Monrey." The man stated as he sat down at a round table, a teenage girl with dirty blonde hair handed him some tea.

"Julius, who's this?" The girl asked, looking me over.

I blushed. "My name is Kodie Winter. Where exactly am I?" I sure wasn't in England anymore, let alone Earth.

"You are in Wonderland. Specifically, the clock tower." Julius replied, not even looking up. "Did you run into trouble on your way here?" He asked.

"If you count two boys swinging scythes around at you, trouble, then yes." I sighed, remembering the encounterance.

"Hmph. She's like you Alice, ran into the Bloody Twins on her first day." Julius sighed. "Hatters..."

"Wait, so how did you get out alive? Did Blood stop them for you?" Alice asked me.

"W-what? Alive? Blood? I just ran... for my life..." I explained. "Who's Blood?" I asked, oddly enough Alice flushed with anger.

"So Blood didn't appear this time... Atleast you're unharmed." Julius sighed. "Blood Dupre is head of Hatter Mansion and leader of the mafia." He said bluntly.

"M-mafia?" I gasped.

"That's what I said when I heard that too!" Alice laughed nervously.

"I might as well explain the rest.." Julius mumbled. "You see, you are in the only neutral territory. The clock tower, which I own. The other territories are at war, the Hatter Mansion run by Blood Dupre; Heart Castle, run by Queen Vivaldi; and the amusment park, run by a man named Gowland." Julius sighed in annoyance, it was as if he had said this before.

"Julius, I'll show her the other territories, but she can stay here for now, right?" Alice asked Julius.

Fine, but I must go back to work." Julius grumbled.

"Hey, Alice, can I ask you something?" I looked out the window, the sun was setting, though I swore it was just night.

Alice followed my glance. "Oh, you see, time here is random, you never know what time period will be next!" Alice laughed, then looked me over. "Come on, you must be tired, I'll show you to the guest room so you can sleep." Alice walked up the stairs.

"Thanks." I followed her, and once she left me alone, I almost literally jumped into the bed. I really was tired, mentally, all of this was hard to take in.

But I don't think I could fall asleep yet, not with my mind racing with everything, and racing with questions. "Relax, it's a dream."

I sprung up to a sitting position, who had said that? It was as if it wa sin my head. "A dream?" I wondered aloud.

"That's right. A dream." The voice repeated.

"So if this is a dream- why am I tired?" I asked the voice stupidly. I felt slightly crazy after doing that...

I layed back down on the pillow, willing sleep to come. But if this was a dream- I'd wake up soon, right? Atleast I had a place to stay, and some new friends who'll hopefully help me along the way.
