Chapter 1: finding Underland

Anastasia's POV:

I had been traveling all over the world for the past year singing and I was finally back home in London but not on a happy day…. Today is the anniversary of the day my mother, Alice Kingsleigh died. I walked to her grave with her favorite flowers in hand hoping that no one disturbs me while I'm here. As I stopped still in front of her grave I put a hand on top of it as I gave a small smile.

"Hello mother, it's nice to see you again," I said, patting out a small spot in the grass taking my spot. I lay the flowers around her grave as I pull my bag in my lap giving a sigh before rummaging around and pulling out a worn-out looking book with a smile.

"I brought our favorite story, I thought you might like to listen to it again." I opened the book she wrote down her adventures in Underland and tried to fight my tears as I started to read it out loud to her. As I got to the part about the Mad Hatter I couldn't help but smile a little remembering when mother would tell me all about him when I was younger. She would always talk about how much he cared about his friends and about his family. I always felt a connection to the Hatter and loved that he was the type of person who would do anything to protect the ones he loved. I sighed as I noticed how late it was getting and I started to collect my things.

"Well mother, it's getting late. I'll come to visit again soon I promise. I love you so much." I said fighting back my tears. I would give anything to be in Underland right now, where I didn't have to walk through town and try to hide my feelings behind a fake smile. As I stood up and dusted myself off I noticed, out of the corner of my eye, a white rabbit in a coat. It hopped on by and after a few seconds I immediately knew it was the rabbit that mother met.

"I'm late again, how am I always late?! I Always try to be on time, but I always end up late!" Nivens shouted as he continued down one of the paths and I ran after him trying to keep up with him, knowing he would lead me to Underland. As I caught up to him he stopped at the rabbit hole and looked at me with amuse in his brown orbs.

"Do watch your step. The first one is quite a doozy." he said with a small grin as he looked to my bag and I nodded as he jumped in and I jumped after him. I started falling and I don't know how long for but I knew as soon as I did,it felt like it was never going to end I would land in a small room, and that's just what happened. In the middle of the room there was a table with a key and a bottle with a tag that said, "Drink me!" on it. I picked up the key and the bottle inspecting them for a moment, they were just like how they were described in the book, nice to know the details stay the same. I took a deep breath and drank the stuff in the bottle while seeing if I could make out the flavor of it. Immediately I started to cough before I started to shrink down to the size of the white rabbit. I looked around the room in amazement at everything's new larger sizes until I saw the door mother had told me so much about. Walking over to unlock it I held the key in front of the keyhole as I gave a small smile thinking of the book in my bag as I plunged the key in and turned the knob. As the door swung open and I stepped through my smile widened like the Cheshire cat as I saw Underland. It was just like my mother described it. Nivens then hopped out of my bag and handed me a piece of the cake that would make me grow to my normal size.

"Now remember one bite only," he said and I nodded taking a small bite of it and began to grow until I reached my normal size.

"Thank you mr. Nivens" i said and he looked at me confused.

"How do you know my name miss?" he asked and I held out the book.

"Mother told me. She would read this book every night"

"And who is your mother miss?" I looked down when he asked me that.

"I-i'd rather not say right now if that's alright."i said and he nodded.

"Of course, well it seems you know my name but i don't know yours." I smiled a little and looked at him.

"My name is Anastasia but most people just call me Anna." I said as a blue butterfly flew over.

"You both are right on time." Absolem said and I looked up confused.

"On time for what Absolem?"

"To see the white queen of course. You silly girl." he said and I nodded. Absolem and Nivens led me to the white queen's castle and I couldn't believe it was just like mother described it. As we walked into the castle, the white queen herself came over and smiled.

"Hello, welcome to Underland i am Mirana," she said and curtsied.

"Hello your highness my name is Anastasia but please call me Anna." i said returning her Curtsy with my own.

"What brings you to Underland Anna?"

"Well that answer is sorta complicated and its one i feel everyone should hear together. Is there a way to get the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire cat here?" i asked politely.

"Of course, Nivens will you go and get them?" she said with a smile as Nivens left.
