Malice In Wonderland: We're All Mad Here

by White1Rabbit

Haven't we all heard of Alice in Wonderland? But how wrong that story was. Here is the true tale, the one of a girl who followed the White Rabbit, to a land of murder, monsters, fear, and a dark immortality. Will Alice make it out of Wonderland alive?

10. The Castle Of Spades

So not a word was said till they reached a castle. It was painted half black and half white. It made your head hurt to look upon it. A long path of white and black checkered marble like in the room Alice had first entered in paved it and led strait to the front door. The Ace of Spade took her by the wrist and led her along the path. That's when Alice noticed that on the side of the path was water. Creatures that only slightly resembled fish and salamanders worked they're way through the water with ease. She would have liked to stay and watch them but the Ace of Spades pulled her along to the white and black doors, witch opened with a small push. Alice's eyes grew wide. Everything was all black and white. Not a single glimpse of color was anywhere in the room. The Ace led her up the stairs passed many paintings of black and white that hung on the wall. Why no color? She herself felt displaced as she was wearing red, even the Ace of Spades was wearing black. She hoped the queen of hearts castle would be more colorful.

It seemed as if the stairs had no end, and when she looked behind them the stairs were spiraling all the way down without ending. She wondered if you jumped you would fall forever. That would not be much fun indeed. Maybe for a little while but forever is a awful long time to be falling. She wondered if anyone had ever fallen down there and was still falling till this very minute.

Then as Alice adjusted her eyes she realized that the patter in the stairs on made it seem like it went on forever. The was no one at all. The thought of falling forever had intrigued her and took her mind off of being led up stairs by a murderous boy, who hated flowers because they hated him and what not. So she occupied herself again by thinking of why chickens had no lips. Maybe it was because they did not like kisses so they got rid of their lips. Or maybe they detested whistling? So she thought and thought of all these thoughts till the reached the top of the stairs. It was a door that the Ace opened and they stepped through. It was a room just like the one downstairs. What was the point of going to a room like the one they were just in. Then a sudden fear struck her. So much of this fear came through her she had to gasp out loud. At the site she was looking upon.
