"Evelyn…Evelyn…"Who was that? That voice…I hear it every night when I go to bed. I see a figure with a wide smile, and he is really skinny and mangy.
Is that…a cat?
He appears in front of me, all gray with a hoop earring and somewhat black stripes, gold eyes and a deep voice.
His smile is still there.
He went over to me, but I backed away. "Evelyn,"
"Who are you?" I demanded.
He chuckled. "I am…"
Then before he could speak, darkness surrounded me and I screamed.
I woke up with sweat all over my face and uncurled myself from the corner of the room I was sleeping from. I yawned and but nothing came out of my mouth. Then I squeaked a little.
I got up, and I looked at myself in the mirror. The looking glass, my mother always called it. My ears went low, and I had abnormal canine teeth. I looked at my weak and thin figure. You could see my ribs a little through my lilac slip. (2)
Damn, why do none of the kids in the neighborhood want to play with me? I know that was random to say, but 'tis true. I was just so…different. Sure maybe it's because of my cat ears, but I'm still a friendly person.
People either make fun of me or are scared of me. This is because there was a rumor going around that my mother went to an asylum when she was only seventeen, and when kids were her age or older, they told they're children not to go near our house.
For one thing, I didn't believe in all that. I didn't even bother asking my mother!
I started to cry. I needed mother's comfort.
"MOTHER!!!"
I quickly twisted the rusty knob of my door and ran to her room.
"Mother I-"
But she was gone. The bed was empty and the windows were open. There was a flying note around the room. I grabbed it and it said:
My Dear Evelyn,
I have gone somewhere called 'Wonderland.' I wish I could take you, my child, but it be far too dangerous, as you are only twelve. Please take what is on the bed stand. I love you.
Love,
Mother
I just stared at the note. I couldn't believe it. How could my mom abandon me like this? It's not right. I started to cry again. People everywhere hate me, I swear! I dropped to my knees slowly and put my head down, then suddenly a bright light filled the room. When I opened my eyes again, there was a warp in the mirror.
I was a little scared at first, but when I stood up, and touched the warp, it was as cold as an ice cavern. I couldn't get my hand to get out, as hard as I tried to pull it out, I screamed as the warp took me in. Then…
