Prolouge
The cool wind blew threw the open window and shifted around the room. It made a few papers and photos float down from a desk a foot or so away from a king sized bed. The papers floated down to the floor and landed silently, gleaming in the sliver of moonlight the shone in from the open window. The pictures showed a young girl and her family, a mother and father. The girl seemed to be young, with a heart shaped face and jade green eyes. Her hair was a light hazel nut brown and shape to fit her features perfectly. Something rustled in the bed and then turned on it's side, facing the window. It was the girl. Her name was Alice.
Alice couldn't seem to fall to sleep. Memories of what had happened only two months ago floated in her head. The rabbit with the stop watch, the chesire cat, the Queen of Hearts, all of them came back to her. She wondered if she would ever see them all again. Part of her didn't want too, they all scared her, but somewhere deep down inside of her a rich desire kept yearning to go back. To go back to Wonderland.
A sudden light illuminated the hall and shone in threw the crack from her open door. Alice furrowed her brow and sat up slowly. The faint smell of smoke drifted in and she coughed lightly. Smoke? Why do I smell smoke, thought the small Alice as she rose from her thick warm comforter and clutched her small white rabbit to her side. She padded slowly out the the hall way and looked straight forward, a gasp escaping her lips.
Her parents room, their door, was completely on fire. She ran forward, screaming in fright, hoping they weren't dead. Hoping they hadn't burned to death. Reaching the door it's flames arose and caught onto the carpet, causing Alice to go back. She made her way quickly to the stairs but found that, there too, was fire there. Looking around the only was to escape, she thought, was to jump out her bedroom window.
Alice ran back to her room as if the devil were after her. She pushed open her window and gazed down at the snow covered ground. It was a 50 foot drop that could kill her, or least paralyize her. Looking back over her shoulder she could clearly see the fire from where she was standing, it was now or never. Lifting her small feet to the sill she lifted herself up and then let herself fall.
The fall seemed to take forever, but it was really only a few moments. But as Alice hit the ground, and her white rabbit dropping next to her, darkness inswirled in her mind and she fell into a deep sleep...
