I was in a deep, dark hole. I couldn't tell how big it was. I wasn't falling down it, but rather floating in the deep dark air of nothing. I wasn't sure where I was or how I got here, but for some reason I felt very relaxed.

It was like I was part of the universe. The part of the universe that man has not yet discovered. The darkest of it all was beautiful. I loved floating in it all.

Then there were bubbles. Lots and lots of bubbles. Pink bubbles, purple bubbles, green bubbles, of all shapes and sizes, floating around to join me in my universe of nothing.

They were beautiful. The bubbles made me smile. They brought a simple joy to this universe, which I can't explain. I wish I could. For some reason these bubbles seemed to be the answer to-

"Alice! Alice! Wake up!" Lorina pulled me away from my universe of bubbles.

I was half asleep, and wanted to fall back asleep. So, I didn't say anything to Lorina. It was probably a bad idea, because then Lorina started hitting me.

"Alice! Alice! You need to get up now!" I wasn't going to move no matter how much Lorina hit me. I wanted to stay asleep. I wanted to get back to my universe of bubbles.

"Come on Alice!" Lorina was now pulling off my covers. Dang, my cover is blown. This room is too cold, and the whole family knows that I never move in my sleep. Once I'm asleep I stay in the same perfect line I fell asleep in. Father sometimes worries that I might be mistaken as dead while I'm asleep.

"Give me back my covers!" Why must Lorina wake me too early in the morning anyway?

"No, because you are not going back to sleep." Why must Lorina be so mean?

"But it's so early in the morning, and I'm freezing."

"You won't be cold when you start moving. Now come on."

"But I want to sleep."

"You can sleep after you help me."

"But I want to sleep now." Lorina is very mean, because after I said this, she took my pillow away.

"Lorina, give me back my pillow!"

"Don't yell you might wake the maid."

"Lorina, I can't sleep without my pillow or covers."

"Good, now come with me."

"Fine," I say as I sit up in my bed. There is really no use in trying to go back to sleep. Lorina took my pillow and covers, and knowing her she won't give them back until she gets what she wants.

I followed Lorina outside. She said some stuff about what she was planning to do, but I was having a hard time paying attention since I was half asleep.

"Ok, Alice, I want you to take this jar of leeches into the maid's room. Then, I want you to put one leech inside every sock the maid owns." Lorina handed me a jar filled with leeches.

"But why me?" The part of my head that was awake and focused was wondering where Lorina got the leeches, and the other part just wanted to go back to the bubble universe.

"Because it's the maids fault mother and father believe all those terrible things about you."

"Terrible things about me?" What in the world was Lorina talking about?

"Oh it is terrible what she said about you. She is the reason mother and father want you to see a doctor."

"What?"

"Alice, stop asking stupid questions. We need to get our revenge on the maid now, before she wakes up."

"But why do I have to put the leeches in the socks?"

"Because, you're smaller. You can get in and out quickly by going through the window."

"I don't think this is a good idea."

"Trust me, Alice, this is a wonderful idea. Once the maid quits, our lives will be so much better."

"But what if she wakes while I'm putting leeches in her socks?"

"That's why you need to do it now, before she wakes up."

The next thing I knew I was on the other side of the window, in the maid's room, listening to her snores…while holding a jar of leeches.

A/N

Sorry this chapter was late. I didn't really have the inspiration to write anything.

Anyways this chapter is dedicated to my friend Destiny, for giving me the idea of Lorina wanting to play a prank on the maid.

Oh, and thank you Des for editing.
