A tea party? There was a old, classic wooden table. There were some cracks and chips in it abut the table we sure big and long. There were rows, and rows of chairs. But they didn't match the table at all. Some did, some were lawn chairs, bean bag chairs, wooden chairs, leather, velvet, you name it! The music box kept getting louder, it started freezing from time to time making it sound very creepy. And there were... people there? I saw there were two figures that looked like twins. Except one had pitch black hair, and the other had fiery red hair, and the black haired wore a red checkered outfit, and the red haired, wore the same but blakc and checkered. And there was a caterpillar? The cat was there too! And then there was another old looking man how had silver, gray hair, wrinkles, and old, glasses. And at the head of the table I saw a man with a an old, worn down, tattered looking hat. It covered his face soo I couldn't quite see his features. Hmm. Truly interesting. Ghost slowly made his way to the head of the table where the man with the hat sat at. Everyone was staring at me. Other then the cat of course. You couldn't see the twins faces, but I could feel them staring. The caterpillar was blue and wore a red and black top hat which had patched stitched up. And was staring at me with an irritated angry look like I interrupted something important. Which I couldn't see what was so important? I decided I made my way slowly to where Ghost was. I had to step over roots, rocks, some cemetery graves, and red liquid? Was that... of gods... blood? Uggh. I'm going to puke! I was now standing shyly beside Ghost and was staring at the man with the hat. I could now clearly see what he wore. His hat had a red and blakc striped ribbon tied around it, and had some patches with black and red checkered designs. The hat was a black velvet, and there was a tag sticking out, some hoops stuck on the rim, a 2 of hearts, and a Ace of Spades card stuck out of his hat but was held tightly with the ribbon. I could see he had pitch black choppy hair that went up to his neck. And he must have had bangs since I couldn't see his eyes. But I saw his hands which were ghostly, death pale. I was scared. He somewhat had that eerie feeling yet, like Ghost and the cat, a comfortable feeling. Weird. Then he looked up and scared me. His right eye was dark, bloody red colour, and the left was a pitch, dark, black colour. Under his right eye was a black spade, and under the left, was a red heart. They must be tattoo's. He wore a black and red checkered tailcoat, a black shirt, and one left was red, and the other was black. he wore black buckled up boots and when he smiled. It was a big, creepy smile. I felt myself back up a step. Then strangely Ghost bowed! What he royal? Was he a King or prince? I didn't know what to do, so I stood there, then eventually bowed. When I looked up, the man was standing right into my face. I could feel his warm breath ,and smell the yucky copper smell which smelt like that only if you had... blood in your mouth. Oh gods! What was he? Was he like that Ace guy? Was he going to attack or kill me? I stared backing up but felt my legs bang onto a grave stone. "Hello dearie." He said in a mysterious, yet polite way. I looked at his smiling face and saw his teeth were pointy and sharp... just like the cat."Wh- who are you?" I stuttered. "Can't you tell? I'm the Mad Hatter of course! How could you forget Alice?"He said in a creepy way holding his hand sup showing me the table and everyone who was now staring at me, even the cat, and Ghost. How did he know my name? I didn't know him? Did I? I had the urge to run far, far away from here. This creepy, bizzare, mad place. I wanted to wake up! Wake up me! How could I dream of something soo dark and twisted? "How do you know my name?" I asked looking for an escape route. "Now, now Alice. There's no point in escaping. Let's have a nice, friendly, talk and chat up on each other. have a seat dear, we don't bite. Most of the time." He said, and whimpered the last part in my ear. I had no choice and slowly made my way, shivering not beaus it was scold, but because it felt like there were icky, dark shadows crawling up my neck and back like spiders. I shuddered. I sat down beside the Mad Hatter and Ghost. I sat in front of the cat and the twins. I looked down and looked down and saw I had a teacup with red and blakc diamonds surrounding it and a chip and scratches over it. Everyone else had the same too, and I looked into my cup and saw there was tea, and there was steam coming off of it. I smelled it, and it smelt, for the first time I got here. Warm, comforting, enlighten and comfort. I carefully examined it and took a sip. It actually tasted delicious!"So how do you know me Mad Hatter?" I asked. Just saying his name, felt queasy off my tongue. "How do I know you? Everyone knows you Alice! Who doesn't?" He asked laughing like a mad man. But wasn't he mad already? Wasn't everyone here in this dark, cruel, cold hearted, twisted place mad? Wasn't I mad? "What do you mean? I don't understand? How does everyone know me, when I don't even know who everyone else is other then Ghost and the cat." I protested. "Do you not remember Alice Spade? Us? Your family?" He asked sounding upset with those sad, mysterious, emotionless red and black eyes. Family? They weren't my family! I'd remember if they were my family! "You must be mistaken. I'm not part of your family, you're not my family. You must be mistaking me for another Alice you know. There's a lot of Alice's out there. It's quite a common name actually." I said. he shook his head. "You don't remember? I see." He whispered, more to himself though. Then the cat who I met in the first place, the mysterious, purple and black striped cat, who can make himself disappear chipped in. "Ha! That foolish girl doesn't remember us? Or anything to be exact!" "Quiet down you! I'm thinking!" The Mad Hatter shouted angrily. And for the first time, the cat obeyed. Was he a royal person or something? "Alice, do you know anyone of us here at the table?" He asked. "Well the half breed rabbit is my friend, Ghost, the cat is who I met in the beginning and brought me to Ghost's house, and helped me. And you're the man who gave me tea, and who I'm talking to now with the hat, the Mad Hatter. And the rest, I'm sorry, I do not know." I answered. The Mad Hatter seemed... sad of what is aid. Did I say something wrong? Why was I even caring if I said anything wrong to this crazy man at all? "You do not know these four?" He asked pointing to the old man, the caterpillar, and the twins. I shook my head. Before he could say something Ghosts aid "Someone's coming!" The Mad Hatter seemed to know what was coming and gave me a black and red mask with black and red feathers, and had hearts near the eye holes. "Put it on quickly my dear." He said. With his tone I could tell he had a pleaded voice making me obey. I fastened it around my head and it actually felt comfortable. Then the Mad Hatter told me "DO not speak, even if they ask you or shout for you to. understand?" He ordered. I nodded. Then looked and saw a group of distant figures off to the distance of where Ghost and came from. Oh gods!
