A/N Once again I own nothing in the Alice In Wonderland universe. I only claim Lorna as my own!

Chapter 2: Concussions and Rabbit Waistcoats

Darkness.

The last thing Lorna remembered after nearly choking to death on that weird dust in the attic was the world going dark, at this point though, everything was slowly coming back into focus.

Urgh. What the hell was that? I blacked out...in the attic...stuff that came out of the book..Oh my head...this ground isn't very comfortable...wait ground??? Lorna opened her eyes at this point, wincing slightly only to be greeted with the hard floor covered in leaves and debris, certainly not the same wooden floor of the attic she was in moments ago.

Lorna shakily got up onto her feet, stumbling slightly, her head still throbbing a touch and carefully began to take it her surroundings.

She was in small clearing in what seems to be a rather large and never ending forest, it was almost like any other forest you may have seen, but not quite, the trees are a little bit too bendy, the leaves the slightly wrong shape and colour than what would be deemed normal. The ground was covered with the same leaves on the trees and various roots and small plants.

And then Lorna's gaze set upon the flowers.

There were every different shape, colour and size you could imagine scattered all over the forest in small clusters, they were truly beautiful and unlike any Lorna had ever seen.

"This must be some kind of illusion. Yeah that makes sense. I must have really hit my head, and I am probably laying on the floor of the attic now waiting for someone to come and find me...OR Im already at the hospital...." Lorna mused out loud.

It was then she heard a ticking sound, that same ticking sound she heard just before she blacked out, Lorna whipped her head round only to be confronted with one of the strangest things she may have seen in her life.

A white rabbit....in a waistcoat.....holding a pocket watch.

A few minutes passed as Lorna and the white rabbit stared at each other, the pocket watch ticking quietly, whilst Lorna tried to process what was in front of her.

Once she has finally found her voice again Lorna spoke "Erm, hello.." she ventured.

"Your late!!!" the white rabbit announced, tapping the face of the watch.

Lorna openly balked at his statement "Oh right, yes, sorry..errmm what is it exactly I am late for?? more importantly, WHERE am I exactly??"

"You are very, very late!!! The white queen is waiting...late late LATE!!" the white rabbit shrilled before scampering off into the undergrowth.

"Hey!! come back!! Where are you going?" Lorna began to run after the white rabbit "Who is the White Queen? And WHERE AM I???" she shouted after him, trying to keep up.

She reached a second clearing when it became apparent she had lost the white rabbit completely.

"Wonderful" Lorna sighed as she tried to catch her breath.

It was just then a rustling could be heard behind Lorna, she turned round to find two, what she assumed were, identical twin boys making their way towards her.

"Hello, I don't suppose you've seen a white rabbit around here have you?" Lorna offered, hoping she'd have better luck with those that weren't talking animals.

"Who are you?" they both asked in unison.

"I'm Lorna and I'm pretty sure I'm having some kind of psychotic break right now, so, white rabbit??" she pressed.

"Lorna? Haven't ever heard of a Lorna." said one.

"Yes, no Lorna only an Alice, you are defiantly not an Alice" said the other.

"Nope, not an Alice, looks nothing like her." said the first one again.

"Okay Okay" Lorna held up her hands "we have established I am most certainly not anyone named Alice, the white rabbit said something about a White Queen? Do you know where I could find her at least?"

"Ah!!" said the first one.

"The White Queen" said the other.

"We know where her palace is" said the first.

"We can take you there." they both said in unison as they came either side of Lorna, grabbing her arms and starting to drag her along.

And with that Lorna was pulled along, by two strange identical boys, to palace that held a queen, that was seemingly expecting her, in a place that she didn't even know the name of yet.

I need to wake up soon, Lorna thought to herself as she let herself be escorted, REALLY soon.
