Chapter 2 - Lord Ascot's Party.
I opened my eyes to the morning sun breaking through a crack in my curtains. I smiled. I loved the sun it was the best part of England. We hardly ever get it these days.
"Good morning miss Alice, how did you sleep?" The maid asked drawing back the curtains.
"Pretty well surprisingly"
"Did you dream of your Wonderland again then?"
"Yes, it was simply marvellous."
She smiled and headed to the door. "Well breakfast is on the table ma'am, and the carriage to Lord Ascot's leaves at 3 on the dot."
I thanked her and changed quickly, avoiding the stockings and corset. I hurried downstairs and into the dining room where mother was waiting.
"I have breakfast for you darling " Mother said and I sat down.
"Thank you mother"

The ride to Lord Ascot's was shorter than the last time I went. I arrived and before I was told to dance with anyone I sat down at the nearest seat I could find. Which unfortunately was next to my crazy aunt Imogene who didn't believe me when I said there was no prince.
"Well Alice dear have you discovered the right man for you yet?" she asked as I sat down.
"Well sort of I think" I replied sulking into my seat.
"Well you better hurry up now your 26 and still unmarried."
I very well knew that and I certainly didn't want to hear it from my crazy aunt who was talking sense right now.
"Alice!, come here and dance with us" Faith Chattaway called from the dance floor.
I sighed and got up, remembering to put on a fake smile and walked over to the girls.

Louise POV
I sighed and sat down at the table with my grandmother, mother and father. I was so bored. I couldn't see Alice anywhere. The last time I was here I was four and I hadn't heard all of Alice's Underland stories. So now I was looking around frantically for a white rabbit in a waistcoat. I knew I'd never see him but it was worth looking and trying. I was just about to give up and continue counting all the people at the party when I saw something run through the bushes.
"Mum? Did you see that?" I shook my mothers knee.
"See what darling?"
I sighed and looked around again seeing nothing. "Nothing"
I looked around the party again but was distracted by something blue from the corner of my eye. I turned around and saw something white run away.
"Excuse me mum"
"Ok darling, don't run far"
"I wont"
I ran through the bushes until I reached the opening to the maze. I looked around for the rabbit until I saw it run into the maze. I ran after it. I passed tree's and twigs scratched at my dress. I ran until I saw the rabbit stop by a tree and disappear down a hole.
I ran up to the edge of the hole and looked down it. It was really dark and looked like a really long fall. I bent further down to get a closer look and lost my balance. I slipped and fell in to the hole. The hole I knew would lead to Alice's Wonderland.
