As I walk home to my apartment I see my neighbour, Alice, walking into the building with some shopping. I open the door for her and say in my Liverpool accent "hay Alice, so I heard Jacks comin round tonight" as we walk she says "Hay Jackie, so my mom told you huh! Yeah, and its different this time" and I ask "ye? How so?" she smiles as we reach our doors, hers only two away from mine, and says "I really like this guy" I smile warmly and say, as I pull out my keys "good for you, you deserve to be happy. So tomorrow I want all the goss! Ok?" she laughs as she agrees and we both go inside.
I close the door behind me as I enter my empty, lonely apartment and get ready for work. I sit in my room alone looking at my reflection, I see a small, snow white, busty, curved, seventeen year old, (although I tell people I'm eighteen) Liverpool girl with dark chocolate brown lochs, golden blond traced round each layered curl, my emo fringe falling lightly on my rosy cheek, iced blue eyes with light blue and black eye shadow and untouched petal pink lips, wearing fitted, dark blue jeans, a black loose belt with a small silver chain hanging at my waist, bright blue converse and fitted pail blue t-shirt with black vines that read 'The Base'(the name of the club I waitress at), blue striped, fingerless gloves, hanging guitar earrings and a silver chain with a purple amulet necklace, with silver wire rapping.

I grab my black leather jacket and leave for work, but when I get round the corner I remember my bag and head back to get it. As I turn I glance into the alleyway to see Alice and a man with ponytails struggling, I run to help my friend as she runs after her attacker into a old warehouse and watch helplessly as she falls through a mirror. I stand in shock, reaching out only to see my hand disappear into the glass, I then feel something pull lightly on my hand, dragging me through.
As I land I feel something soft beneath me and look to see that I landed on Alice. As we stand I mutter "sorry" but she doesn't hear me, only grabs my hand when she sees that man from before and pulls me with her as we go after him. After a minuet of running we see him walk into a building after two men who dragged in another, I hear her mutter "Jack" and she goes to follow before I can do anything but take her lead. She checks out the windows and stuff before daring to go in, but when we hear a noise we turn to see a bug like plane thing, with a search light shining brightly from it, as it grazed Alice's arm a green tattoo appeared but nothing happened when it touched my face.
Once inside, we enter a padded room with a small bottle that reads 'curiosity, killed the cat' Alice looks through a small slide thing as I say "Alice I don't like this, lets go" but before anything could be said the door closed and locked then all the walls came closer to us. I start to panic and mutter 'oh my fuckin gods' as Alice dose something with her hair pin. Then suddenly we're falling but Alice holds onto the box we where in as I plummet into the water.
I struggle to get back to the surface, because I never learnt to swim. I then feel a hand pull me up. As we reach the surface I gasp for air as Alice holds me while she swims us to sure, telling me what to do that'll help.
When we reach land, precious land, we crawl up to see a man with a knife, I stand in terror, shaking, as Alice dose all the talking, she offers him money to help us and I immediately take the $5 I have from my pocket hand it to her. He looks at it strangely then licks it! She take out her hand and says "I'm Alice and this is my friend Jackie" his eyes widen as he asks "THE Alice? The Alice of Legend" I lean to her, looking at the man and say "Al, this dudes freakin me the fuck out" he then insists we follow him, so we do, more like Alice dose and I just tag along.
Before we enter a shop he raps an bandana around Alice's arm. When inside I stay close to her as we watch the commotion of the strange shop, until that man comes and takes us to the back. A male Yorkshire voice asks "Would you like a cup of tea?" but only I reply "no tar" as Alice asks "who are you?" the chair turns to reveal a very hansom man in a small top hat, who seems to be stuck in the sixties as far as fashion goes, but it suits him. He then says "a friend, I hope." Alice looks at the man sceptically as I stair at him with appreciation but still unsure of his intentions.
