Disclaimer: Sorry it took so long. I had SCHOOL!

Alice opened her eyes just like she had remembered, she was falling down the hole. But everything seemed so...off, Alice couldn't quite place the problem. At first everything had seemed pretty normal, or as normal as Wonderland could appear, but now Alice felt something was wrong. She realized that before the tunnel had been well lit and she could see everything happening around her, but this time the tunnel was pitch black, the only light source was an eerie dim greenish glow that barely allowed Alice to see her surroundings. Strange shadows moved on the walls, noises seemed to follow her every move. The hair on the back of her neck prickled and she shivered. The air around her had turned to ice, it was so cold she could see her own breath crystallizing before her own two eyes. Alice looked around her again and again, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't shake the feeling that someone or something was watching her. "SHE'S RETURNED!" screeched a voice. Suddenly an entire flock of black creature swooped down on her. Alice struck out fighting them off. One scraped her cheek another scratched her hand, but Alice stood strong grabbing a chair that was floating near by, she knocked the flock far away.

"It's impossible, Alice has returned can it be?" asked a familiar voice from below her. Alice looked away but only for a second because the chair she was holding wasn't very happy. It began shaking trying to pull itself out of Alice's grip. She let go slightly startled by the sudden movement. The chair flew off growling menacingly. Alice realized nothing here was very happy about her return. She paused she was still falling, the fall seemed longer then she had remembered. Alice froze as she realized the feeling of being watched still had not gone away. She felt the eyes piercing the back of her neck, invisible eyes, evil eyes, eyes that did not want Alice here. She covered her neck with her hands, she didn't expect it to do anything but it made her feel a bit safer. She looked below her seeing that she was about to pass through a cloud of some kind. It seemed a bit weird to have clouds when Wonderland had no atmosphere. It could be raining, sunny, snowing, in the middle of a drought, and flooding all at the same time. She felt her body go rigid with cold as the passed through the cloud. Alice couldn't move her limbs frozen, transformed into ice. They seemed to melt after leaving the cloud allowing Alice to move once again. There was a light drizzle falling on her, the small droplets sticking to her face. Lightning lit up her surroundings. She saw shadows moving above her. The first had made a lunge toward the second. Alice held her breath as the lightning flashed again. The two shadows were on a shelf floating not too far above her. Alice exhaled slowly as if afraid that she would give away her position if she breathed to loudly. The dim green glow was enough for her to see they two shadows moving closer to each other. The first seemed to rise up then strike the second. There was a loud sound that sounded like a cat yowling. It pierced the silence like a knife. Alice winced she may be tough but that could bring even the toughest man to tears. There was a series of tearing, slashing, and screaming sounds that echoed around her like a stalker. Refusing to leave her alone no matter how much she tried to ignore it. There was a loud CRACK that split the air in two. It was fowled by a series of small tinkling noises like glass. It was glass, Alice realized as some shards cut up her already wounded body. She landed on the solid ground, her feet vanishing in the eerie mist. It was all the way up to her knees and had completely engulfed Wonderland. The rain was now in full downpour, Alice was shivering like she had pneumonia but she didn't move. Something was moving. She could hear the crunch of its footsteps. It was almost inaudible but Alice knew whatever-it-was was waiting for her.

"Cheshire!" Alice said her voice calm and demanding much unlike what she was feeling. "Cheshire stop playing games. Show yourself now." Alice tried her best to keep her voice calm, demanding, and steady. Surprisingly enough it worked. She braced herself for the cat's reply.

"Oh, ho ho ho. Who there go? Who it be that uses such force when talking to me?" asked an eerie, cold, and strange voice. Alice's suspicions were immediately confirmed by the strange way the speaker phrased their questions. Only Cheshire spoke it that strange fashion. But his voice had sounded so cold. She replayed it over and over in her head. The coldness was a mask, a mask for the fear hidden deep inside the cat's heart. Alice smirked she had learned a few tricks at the evil woman's office. Alice could always identify the emotion in someone's voice, it came in handy when the evil woman held "conferences" with Alice about how Wonderland didn't exist. Alice longed for the so called "doctor" to be with her now. Then she's show that woman what was real and what was fantasy.

"Cheshire, I'm hurt. Don't you recognize me? I mean you of all things should know who I am. You don't mean to say that the chair knew who I was and you didn't do you?" Alice asked sarcastically,. She may be in Wonderland, everything may be evil, she may be the victim of a very bad conspiracy , but a little sarcasm never failed to lighten the mood. There was silence as the Cheshire cat pondered Alice's question.

"I think I know, who you be. You be Alice, enemy of the queen? Come back from your world to help enemies be slain? To fight off the shadows and bring light back again?" Cheshire asked his shadow appearing in the fog. Alice saw that he had only made his head visible, but even without seeing his facial features she knew something was wrong. His head looked slightly misshapen.

"I'm Alice alright but I'm no heroin. I came here for two reasons. Reason one: I missed being here. Reason two: Where's my sister?"

"Wait, so you're saying Alice's sister is gone, like poof?" Jenna asked. Alice's parents nodded their eyes wet from all the crying. Jenna had been listening to her friends life story, she couldn't believe all the things Alice had kept hidden from her. "But people just don't disappear." Jenna said. Jenna looked out of the window it had been a while since Alice had run off. Alice's parents had called the people from the mental institution to come over and begin searching for Alice.

"It's been three years since she vanished." said Alice's father calmly. "We talked to the doctor today and after Alice threw a fit in the office, we became sure about what happened." He paused long enough for Alice's mom to burst into yet another round of sobs.

"Well what do you think happened?" Jenna asked eagerly. It was like reading a mystery story, she quickly tried to figure out what happened before Alice's dad had the chance to tell her. Jenna's mind froze as the conclusion appeared plain as day. "No." Jenna gasped. Alice's parents exchanged nervous glances. "No...sh...she wouldn't...she just wouldn't." Jenna's mind was not letter her draw a new conclusion it was frozen on the worst possible scenario.

"We know how you feel Jenna." Alice's dad said but his voice did little to console the young girl. "We had so much trouble accepting it to. But it's a fact." Jenna shook her head tears welling up in her eyes. She blinked allowing them to flow down her face. "Alice killed her sister." Jenna knew he was going to say that but it still came as such a shock.

"You... you have no proof of that!" Jenna snapped anger overwhelming the usually calm girl. Alice's parents looked at her stunned. Jenna would have been surprised herself if she hadn't been so angry. "Alice wouldn't do that! She just wouldn't! She hung out with me when no one else would. She was a real friend." Alice's parents just stared at Jenna the words had been ripped from their throats and places inside their expressions. Jenna read them like a book. "Honestly, I'm Alice's best friend. I know more about her then any doctor could." The doorbell rang, the people from the mental hospital had come to look for Alice. Jenna watched as Alice's mom went to greet them. Alice wasn't a bad person she was just misunderstood. "I know her better then any doctor, and obviously I know her better then you." Jenna said angrily. With those last words still ringing in her the ears of her friend's parents, Jenna burst through the door tearing her way through the searchers. She had to find Alice and warn her. She had to save Alice from her own parents. Jenna had heard the stories enough to know where to look. But she misjudged the distance, it was dark and Jenna was almost blind with a mix of tears and rage. So no one saw it coming, no one expected it, Jenna didn't even realize what was going on until she found herself sliding helplessly into a rabbit hole. Jenna let out a horrified scream but it was too late she realized her mistake as she vanished into the darkness.
