ALICE'S POV
Part 2
"Alice, its time for your bath." A nurse announces without knocking on the door.
I nod my head and follow her down the cold, white hallway.
"You look so grown up, dear." The woman says with a smile. "Seems like yesterday you were just a little thing."
It could have been yesterday for all I know.
She leads me into the washroom where she leaves me with a towel. Since I was "grown" now, I was given a little more privacy.
"Come out when you're done," The nurse says and closes the door behind her.
I stand in front of the mirror, examining myself.
My hair was long, down to my hips and my limbs were awkwardly lengthy as well.
I hold my arms up toward the ceiling and then bend down toward my toes.
Suddenly, I hear the door cricking open.
I turn abruptly.
"Who's there?" I ask in a small voice.
But there is only silence. It seems I am alone in the room completely full of shower stalls and porcelain sinks.
I try to relax but I can hear water running in the distance.
I follow the sound, curiously wanting to find the source.
"Hello?" I say a little louder than before.
I near a shower stall where a shadowed figure hangs behind the cloudy curtain.
"Who's there?"
I reach toward the curtain but it is pulled completely shut, bringing my hand to the wall with tremendous force. The grasp that holds me there is strong, tight.
"Everything you know is a lie," the figure whispers.
"What are you talking about? Who are you..."
"It's all a lie, Alice!"
"How do you know my name," I try to pull my hand away but the stranger won't let go.
"Miss Alice? Where are you?"
I turn quickly and see the nurse approaching me.
"What are you doing down here? And your still dressed," the nurse says in disapproval.
I turn back toward the shower but the stranger is gone.
"Come on now, lets get you washed up," The nurse says leading me toward the baths. I turn back in the direction of the stall.
Everything I know… is a lie.
