(It has been a while, I apologize, I've been so absorbed in my HTTYD fic, I have been procrastinating with my others, it will not be this late next time)

"Can, you do it ?", Anna asked.

"I can indeed do it, do not doubt my abilities, the real question should be, will I do it", replied the blue butterfly, "usually my answer would be that of your mother's and proceed with more productive priorities".

Absolem saw her face fall and continued, "Luckily for you it is not a usual request".

Annabella's eyes started to brighten, "then you'll do it".

He nodded but spoke again, "I do believe that at your age, you have the right to know of your past, but remember my dear, some things are kept for a reason, what answers you find, may not be the most pleasant".

Anna nodded, "I'm ready", in a matter of seconds all that past her green-eyes was blurs of blue smoke, and it's ghastly smell filled her nostrils, as the smoke was starting to clear, she could see she was in a very different place.

A gray walkway beneath her feet, the shoots of grass and small wild flowers beside it, but large, colorful flowers facing her.

"Eh, what's this", said a high-pitched voice coming from a tall yellow flower.

"Well I'm..." Anna started.

"I believe it's a girl" replied a blue cornflower.

"Yes I..."

"Why it's Annabella" said the orange Tulip.

"Correct but I'm..."

"What's she doing here" asked the bell flower.

"Everyone please", they all turned to the leader, the scarlet red rose, "let the girl talk, what is it child".

Annabella stood in front of them remembering, flowers usually had much vanity, "well, seeing how so observant and knowledgeable you wonderful flowers are, I did hope you could answer a question for me, a very important question."

The flora was clearly pleased with the compliment, as the violet spoke, "oh what a delightful child, what it your question ?"

"I already know of the tragedy of my father's clan, I was hoping to see my family from my mothers part, would you such intelligent and wise flowers, happen to know about my mother's history, I would be the utmost grateful".

The violet spoke again, "truth be told, your mother was born in another world"

"Another world", Annabella was struck in shock, all she had ever known was Underland, maybe another land but another world, with as much strength she could muster from the shock, she muttered a "where".

"Up there my dear, through a rabbit hole, curious little thing, but as for the names of her family, I do recollect her as a tot, even younger than you actually, talking about it, her mother..., now what did she say her name was", the purple one said trying to think.

"Oh, I think it was... Harriet" said the daisy.

"Oh no, it was clearly...um, Hattie, that's it" debated the Dahlia.

"Oh please you know nothing, it was..."

"ENOUGH" demanded the rose, she then looked to Anna with warm eyes, "come here my dear girl".

The 12-year old walked towards the flower, sitting on one of her leaves, trying to avoid thorns, "I do as well remember your mother's first visit, talked about a place called London, I believe she said her mother's name was Helen..., yes I remember now, Helen Kingsleigh".

"Helen Kingsleigh," Anna breathed, " anything else ?"

"Ah yes, a father and sister, though I sadly do not recall their names, I remember her mother's because of how strange Alice's name is, I could only think that a mother with such a strange name herself could name her child with one".

Anna nodded and thanked the flowers, even though the only reason they remembered her grandmother's name was because they thought it strange, but information was information.

Before she knew it though, the red-head was covered in the blue smoke again, to find herself back in her room with a small insect facing her.

"Well, I do hope you used your time productively then" asked Absolem.

"I know my grandmother's name and where my mother is from, but Absolem...how am I supposed to use the rabbit hole ?"

It was midnight, Annabella in a baby blue old home dress, it was one of the thinner and flexible of the old home dresses, with a small purse as well. Luckily, because her mother was busy with the queen, Anna did something she never thought she would do, she stole. But it wasn't a simple cake or treat, when no-one was looking, Annabella sneaked into her parent's room, opened her mother's jewelry box, and took the necklace. The necklace she said her mother had given her, in case Anna needed proof for her grandmother.

Waiting by her window, was Absolem, "now do you remember what I told you ?"

"I pick a place to go and then a location for the portal to be made"

"Correct, but I will warn you my dear, the Upperland is much different than down here, which is why, I have brought it upon myself, to offer a companion"

Concern filled Anna's green eyes, now turning a deathly gray, "what do you mean companion".

"Are we ready to go" asked a third voice.

Like most, Annabella only knew rumors of this door, that it was said to be the main rabbit hole, she had asked Nivens about it once, but all he said was that it was a way to travel to and fro around the kingdom.

"So if I go through the rabbit hole, I'll end up in London"

"Are you sure you want to do this ?"

Anna looked to the creature behined her, the cheshire cat, he trained her magic, could transport him and herself in a swift evaporation, could turn invisable, and like Absolem, knew she needed to know this, but still needed to keep safe.

"I'm not sure, but I know I need to do this".

Taking in short breaths, she gently had taken her necklace off and placed it on the ground, the red-head then allowed her fingers to touch the smooth wood of the door, grabbing a firm turn on the door-knob, she put a whisper.

"I would like to go to London, please",

Her fingers tingled with the wooden door frame and right before her eyes, images flashed through the child's brain, images of trees, buildings, docks, and many different things that looked different and strange, she couldn't understand it. Annabella felt as though her brain was about to burst from the pictures.

"Just go the way he did last time in London, just make it STOP", she said through barred teeth, and luckily the magic confirmed for the only thing left-over image from the mixed mess was that of a large tree.

"That will work", usually magic had to be precise when using it, or it would over-load, but a tree didn't look to bad a place to make a portal.

"Alright then", she turned the door-knob, and it opened for her.

"Oh wait", with the door still opened, she picked up her charm and went through the door.

"Here goes nothing", and the door, the only way back to her home, the only place she ever knew, was closed behind her.

Anna and Chess walked through the door, to turn around and find their-selves in a room, she looked down at checkered tile floor, and around and behind her to see they were surrounded by doors, and the smallest was the one right behind them.

"That's funny, it kind of looks like I went through that one... but that's impossible, right",

"Nothing's impossible Anna", the cat commented.

She shook her head, the door wasn't her main objective right now.

Walking past a small table she saw a bottle of shrinker and a key, "this might be useful later", she then put the bottle and key in her purse.

They looked around the room, "how are we suppose to go up the rabbit hole, if theirs a ceiling in the way and..." she stopped in relization.

"Wait", she whispered, slowly and softly, Anna put her hand on the cool brass of the chandelier, dangling from the ceiling, and gave a soft tug.

At first, nothing happened, but before they knew it, both were sucked up, breaking out of the ceiling and now flying through the air. It didn't take long for Chess to gain back control and start gliding.

Annabella was first in a state of panic, trying to grab on to anything, but the longer she was flying, she started to laugh and glide around with the smiling feline.

"This is amazing, I can't believe I've never been up here before" said the laughing child.

"Well, me, myself, personally, I'd rather take evaporation".

Anna laughed at this, till something hit her head, "ow, what was that ?", she looked up to find her head hit the roof of the cave, Anna could see daylight, and with the Cheshire Cat, started crawling out to the new world.

(What did you think, now Anna is going up, but there's more going on than meets the eye, I am sorry for the wait but now summer is here, I'm out of school, so my focus can be on ALL my fanfics, read and review)
