I felt the warm flesh of my face, no longer pale and made of stone. My features felt less angular and my body felt softer and less graceful as I stood up, no longer in one fluent motion. I looked around and found myself in a round room, doors of different shapes and sizes surrounded us and I immediately ran to each one and tried opening them as my family enjoyed their new found humanity. I didn't remember being human so I didn't miss it: this was an entirely new experience for me and I wasn't sure if I liked it. All the doors were locked so I sighed and turned to tell my family when I saw a circular glass table. Was that there before? I walked to it and found a key. Well, I guess my luck is changing! I ran around the doors a second time and was aware that my family was silent and watching me now. It was weird not having my visions to help and I guess that Edward missed being able to read minds and Jasper being able to feel our emotions.

I came to the final door, which was locked and was about to give up when I was a massive curtain. I smiled and pulled it out of the way only to find a smaller door which was impossible to fit through. I knelt down and put the key in, waiting for it not to work, only to have it click open. I gasped with my family and opened the door. I knelt down and tried to get through it but I couldn't fit. Even I was too small and I was the smallest of my family! How did Bella get past this! She must have ended up here like us!

I turned around again only to find myself distracted by the circular table. There was a glass bottle on it now. I stood up, taking the key with me and walked to it, conscious that my family was following. I picked it up, putting the key on the table and looked at the label that was attached. Drink me. I looked at and sighed. What did I have to lose? I opened it and took a drink ignoring my family's protests. I looked at them and found them growing bigger and bigger. And then all I could see was the pink cloth of my t shirt. The drink had made me smaller some how! I freed myself from the confinements of my now too big clothes and quickly dashed back under them with my cheeks flaming hot. Now I know why Bella hated her blush!

I was now naked and everyone was laughing at me. Jasper quickly threw me his handkerchief and I put it around me in a makeshift dress. I ran to the door and quickly stopped as I grew dizzy and my vision left me.

"Hurry up Emmett!" I was shouting through the small door as I watched my family follow me, dragging their clothes with them that were now too big. Emmett was carrying a cake and put it down. I took a small bite and I quickly grew to my original size, my family following my lead. We quickly put on our clothes and turned around to see...

I was suddenly aware that I was staring at the door with everyone staring down at me. I grinned and bounced up and down, quickly stopping as it hurt my bare feet.

"Everyone take a sip of that drink and then follow me through the door. Don't forget the key or your clothes! And Emmett, make sure you bring that cake under the table." I instruct them, watching as they all do what I told them. Edward gave me the key, his cheeks blushing a furious red that would put Bella to shame as he tries to cover himself with his large shirt. I unlock the door and step through now that I was the right size.

"Hurry up Emmett!" I shouted through the small door as I watched my family follow me, dragging their clothes with them that were now too big. Emmett was carrying a cake and put it down. I took a small bite and I quickly grew to my original size, my family following my lead. We quickly put on our clothes and turned around to see a garden. A beautiful garden that looked unreal and as though someone had imagined it and it had been created.

We walked down the steps, gawking at everything in sight. I watched two things that seemed like insects but were really a rocking horse and dragon with wings. "Curiouser and curiouser." I muttered to myself as I turned around, trying to see everything. I turned around again and stopped with my family. We looked at the two twin boys who were chubby and dressed the same with the same face and bald head. They were really adorable. A blue dodo bird was stood behind them and in front of them was a small dormouse with her little paws on her hips. And then there was the white rabbit in the waistcoat. I was about to speak but Edward rushed up to the rabbit and picked it up by its collar.

"Where's my Bella? Where did you take her?" He practically roars at the little thing that was shaking from the tops of its ears to the toes of its paws. The dormouse scales his leg and sticks him with a hairpin that causes him to drop the white rabbit who hops to the two twins. The dormouse soon follows after him as Edward stands next to Carlisle, rubbing the spot the dormouse had stuck him in pain.

"Bella? I do not know of any Bella. Unless you are the people that... No, must not speak of... Never mind." He said before looking straight at me. We looked at the flower and saw that they had faces. Their faces looked gaunt and haunted as if they were sick and starving. Their eyes stared blankly and their petals hung limp, with pale washed-out colours barely visible against the brown and gray backdrop. "I'm telling you, it's the right Alice! I'm sure of it this time,"

"Well, I'm not convinced!" said the dormouse, arms akimbo.

"Well, how's that for gratitude!" said the White Rabbit. "I've been up there for weeks, chasing one Alice after the next, and another few weeks searching for the Queen. I was nearly eaten by animals! Can you imagine? They go running around undressed and doing their…shukum…in public!" He shuddered. "I had to avert my eyes."

"It doesn't look anything like her," said a flower.

"Sorry, but may we ask who are you?" I asked. Everyone nodded behind me and Rosalie was glaring at them but it seems as though she's not as intimidating now that she was human.

"I'm Tweedledee, he's Tweedledum," said the one of the fat boys.

"Contrarywise, I'm Tweedledum, he's Tweedledee," said the other. They shoved each other, arguing over whose name was whose.

"We should consult Absolem" The bright blue dodo says as he looks intently at me. I feel Jasper pulling me back but I stay where I am. I want to know what they're talking about and if the white rabbit knew where Bella was!

"Exactly. Absolem will know who she is." One of the flowers say as she looks down at me and my family. Tweedledee comes up to me. Well I think it was Tweedledee.

"I'll escort you," He says kindly as he holds out his arm for me. Tweedledum however pulls me away from his brother.

"It's not being your turn!" He cries as his brother tries to pull me away again. It was actually quite funny but from my family's faces I could tell they didn't find it as funny.

"Leave off!"

"Let go!"

"Are they always this way?" I ask a little breathlessly.

"Family trait." He says to me, jumping out of our way. Edward was glaring at the White rabbit. Guess he wasn't that pleased to meet him. The white rabbit however ignores the look and speaks to the Tweedles. "You can both escort her."

Dee takes one of my arms whilst Dum takes the other and we start our journey to see this Absolem. The human faced flowers gossip about me as they pass.

"Who is this Absolem?" I ask as everyone was silent. My family was following behind me and I could see Rosalie fuming that I was the centre of attention in this strange land and not her.

"He's wise. He's absolute." The White Rabbit tells me as he pauses before taking off in front of me again

"He's Absolem." The Tweedles say together as we enter a forest of tall mushrooms surrounded by mist.

"Who are you?" A voice says as I twirl around, looking for the deep mysterious voice that had spoken.

I could see a form ahead where the mist rises in a steady plume. It's coming from a hookah. There's a blue catepillar smoking it, I notice in shock. First talking animals and now a smoking caterpillar. The White Rabbit pushes me toward him.

"Absolem?" I ask, ignoring his question.

"You're not Absolem. I'm Absolem. The question is...who are YOU?" He blows smoke rings in my face. The feeling was horrible so I cough for the first time, not counting the times I did it to pretend to be human.

"Alice." I reply simply.

"We shall see." He replies.

"What do you mean by that? I ought to know who I am!" I reply. He couldn't tell me who I am!

"Yes, you ought. Stupid girl." I could see Jasper clench his fists when he said that. "Unroll the Oraculum." The White Rabbit unrolls an ancient parchment lying on a toadstool. The dormouse helps to lay out the scroll as we all walk over to get a better look at it.

"The Oraculum: Being a Calendrical Compendium of Underland." I look at the long scroll with everyone surrounding me. It was like a timeline which showed images of different things happening. Some even moved! Each image had a title – the name of the day Alice was guessing.

"It's a calendar." I noted. My family obviously didn't feel like talking, might as well do it all for them.

"Compendium. It tells of each and every day since the Beginning." Wow, this must be old then. And valuable.

"Today is Griblig day in the time of the Red Queen." The White Rabbit says as he points to one of the pictures on the Oraculum. I look at in shock, all the breath leaving my lungs. It showed us all looking at the Oraculum as we are at the moment.

"Show her the Frabjous day." Absolem says as I carry on looking at the Oraculum. The White Rabbit scrolls down further into the future.

" Frabjous being the day you slay the Jabberwocky."One of the Tweedles tells me. I stop looking at the Oraculum then.

"Sorry? Slay the...what?" I ask, stuttering. I turn back to the Oraculum and see a picture that causes my eyes to widen.

The picture was moving like the others. The jabberwocky was like a dragon out of a children's book with wings, scales and claws. It was hissing at a girl with short black hair that was arranged in messy spikes that was holding a sword and fighting it.

"That being you there with the Vorpal sword."The other Tweedle says.

"No other swords can kill the Jabberwocky. Nohow."

"If it ain't Vorpal, he ain't dead." The Tweedles finish their story in that confusing way of speaking.

As the girl in the picture swings the sword, she reveals her face to the readers. The girl is unmistakably me, with bloodlust in my grey eyes. I jump up and back away from the picture as though it had burnt me. My family was watching me with sad eyes, all except Rosalie who was glaring at me. Did she think that I want to slay that... that thing!

"That's not me." I tell them, hoping they tell me of course it is and lead me to Bella so we can go back home and be the family we should be.

"I know!" The dormouse says as it scurries away from the Oraculum.

"Resolve this for us, Absolem. Is she the right Alice?" The White Rabbit says to Absolem who looks straight at me and into my eyes as Jasper leads me away.

"Not Hardly." Was all he said before he blows smoke which obliterated him from our view as we walked away.

"I told you!" The dormouse says looking quit pleased with herself.

"Oh dear!" The White Rabbit says looking at me sadly.

"I said so."

"No, I said so."

"Contrariwise, you said she might be."

"No. You said she would be if she was." The Tweedles argue between themselves as they back my family up.

"Little imposter! Pretending to be Alice! She should be ashamed!" The flowers say. For something so pretty they were a little snobby!

"I was so certain of you. So was the Whi..." He stops suddenly and his breathing picks up again. We all look at him and he curls himself away from us. Edward glares at the rabbit.

"What were you going to say?" He asks in a calm and deadly voice. The White Rabbit gulps.

"The girl you call Bella. She's not really a Bella" He says as he looks around. We were just stood there in shock. If she wasn't Bella then who was she? "Her real name is Mirana of Marmoreal. She sometimes sneaks up to your world and away from the Red Queen who has banished her to Marmoreal." He says looking apologetic to us.

"What?" I ask quietly. When they hear me speak they all glare at me as if it is somehow my fault.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be the wrong Alice." I was stopped then as a thunderous roar is heard and a monster smashes through a high wall.

"Bandersnatch!" One of the Tweedles shouts, pointing at the giant thing.

It had a huge furry body with the head of a rabid bulldog. Drool oozes from his squashed muzzle. His fur is caked with blood and filth. His teeth are shark like and broken, stained with blood. A foul stench emanates from him. Everyone runs. But they're intercepted by Red Knights wearing the Red Queen's crest: a heart in flames. The Knights capture the fleeing animals. A pig and a flamingo are caught and thrown into a caged wagon. The Dodo gets away. A Knight grabs the White Rabbit by his leg, lifting him up...

"Unhand me! I do not enjoy being..."

He's cut off as he's tossed into the caged wagon with the others.

I run with Edward by my side. The Bandersnatch thunders after us. We carry on running until we hear our family screaming. I stop and Edward stops behind me. We turn around and watch as our family are caught and captured by the Red Knights.

"NO!" I shout as I watch Jasper being thrown with the animals. With that I turn around to face it. The Dormouse watches from behind a tree.

"What is she doing?" She asks herself quietly.

The Bandersnatch opens its drooling muzzle to eat me. Suddenly the dormouse pulled out it's eyes and the bandersnatch lashed out and I unfortunately got hit with its claws. I cried out as Edward grabbed my uninjured arm and pulls me away. The Tweedles soon join us as we hurry away from the monster and the knights.

We run down the path, but it diverges in two directions. A road sign points south to "SNUD" and east to "QUEAST".

"This way! East to Queast!" Tweedledum says as he grabs my hand and tries to drag me in that direction.

"No, south to Snud!" Tweedledee shouts as he grabs Edward's hand and tries to drag him in that direction. Suddenly there's an ear-slitting screech. An enormous bird lands in front of us. Its part monkey-eating eagle and part ostrich. It makes a "JUB'JUB" sound as it snatches the Tweedles in its claws and takes flight. I look over at Edward who looks at me.

We were alone in a strange land. Our family had been captured and our Bella was really this Mirana of Marmoreal. Apparently I had to slay this dragon like Jabberwocky and my arm was really starting to hurt.

(Alice Cullen is THE Alice. When Mirana went to the Other World she wanted to get away from her sister and when she found out that THE Alice was at Forks she decided to go there and get her to come to Underland)

Should I do Mirana/Bella's POV?

And I'm thinking of putting Mirana/Bella with the Hatter. Thoughts?
