A/N: Sorry for the long wait and a short update at that! I kind of forgot that I had this story in my computer! So expect more updates, and much more longer updates. I wanted to add more but got into a writers block, so yea~ Hope you enjoy this chapter!
I opened my eyes slowly, feeling very light-headed I think I bumped my head against the pavement when I fell or something…If I fell…I'm sure I did! It didn't matter at this point, I looked around in my surroundings, everything seemed normal. I was laid out on a couch in what seemed to be a study of some type. 'I must have fallen asleep in his study…' I thought to myself while I perched myself up on my elbows. I rubbed my forehead with one of my free hands and felt a large bump and some type of soft cotton. It felt like some type of bandage…I'm assuming from here, I didn't have a mirror so I was really sure at the time. 'Great…' I groaned, but quickly turned silent as I heard someone coming inside. The door opened slowly and it creaked as it did, as if it were possessed. I was so scared, so many things passed through my mind at that moment, where am I, who is that and why am I here?
I jumped a little in my seat and saw a woman emerge from the entry way. She wore a big dress that looked a lot like Alice's, but it was bright pink with hearts. Something out of Alice's tastes, I'm sure of it…She had stripped blue and pink stockings and bright orange hair picked up into two neat pigtails, not all messy and thrown about like Alice's. Yet her face…it was like this woman was her twin of some kind.
She was flashing me a huge grin and was walking towards me holding a silver tray; I think it had two tea cups on it. She skipped over to me happily, whistling some type of tune I wasn't all too familiar with, maybe along the lines of Mary had a little lamb? Everything was so fuzzy, I just couldn't think straight! She came up to me and set the tray down on a small table nearby the sofa I was laid out on. I tried inching my body forward so that I could sit up probably, just like how Alice always showed me when around strangers. But she just quickly sat down, allowing me to just lay my head down on her lap, as if she knew me already…
"Why hello little one, I'm so glad to see your bright and awake now, you gave me quite a good scare when I saw your petite little body all scattered on the ground in the hallway!" She chirped with a very other worldly happy tone, it frightened me slightly to see her so…happy? This wasn't a happiness I was all too well familiar with; Alice and Arthur never spoke in this type of tone…not even America or Amelia! She kept that big grin on her face and took one of the tea cups in her hand and sipped lightly from the cup. "Would you like some tea? I made it myself, it's very sweet" she said oh so very sweetly, a different type of smile on her face. I wasn't sure if I should, so I decided against it, "O-Oh…no thank you…" I tried getting up at that point, as she just looked down to me with that smile.
She put a hand to my back and lifted me up so that I sat properly, my body tensed up instantly when she did this, so I flinched away from her touch and grabbed hold of the sofa. There was something so off about her…I-I really didn't want to know about it…I just hope that I'll make it out of here or at least find out what's going on! She can't really be Alice…could she?
