(A/N: Ok it didn't take long for this chapter, although it is kinda short. /.\ I have a lot to tell you about this chapter...there is a bit with rape, it's NOT graphic or described in any way. If you wish to skip this part (I don't recommend it because it will make the hole next few chapters confusing) her memory is marked by _\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ there isn't always rape when you see the _\ they just tell you when her memories are being told. Also the memories are VERY important. Thanks for reading guys and gals...I hope you enjoy it! ^_^)
I looked down at my hands. How long how long has it been. I look around at the surrounding darkness. I can finely move after quite some time, although I think I'm loosing my mind. I haven't talked nor hear any one in what seems like days. I look down to my blue cotton dress, when suddenly I gaze upon something reflecting light. I quickly reached for the object in my pocket.
As soon as my finger brushed across the object I took my hand back in surprise, and upon realizing my foolishness I retrieved the object and held it in front of my eyes. A tarnished silver key, it read 'It's locked'. I razed my brow and the spinning happened again. The only thing running trough my head was the odd gentlemen I met a while ago by the name of Cheshire.
I knew where I was going, that dreadful place that was some how pleasant. I think I knew how though, because it was my escape. Those people who I don't remember, they didn't have room for me. I was holding them back. It was at that monument I realized I was sobbing. I didn't know these people. Why do I care for them? They couldn't keep me, they're why your here! They're the ones who put you here, where nothing makes sense! Nonsense this hole place, noting is real! A hatter who is hopping mad, a human that resembles a cat! How does that even work? Maybe I'm dead, and this is a punishment for my sins. Being stuck with nonsense and unable to remember the ones I held dear.
The tears were warm and streaming down my face. One thing is for sure, I have to get to the place I call wonderland. I need to find somebody, and talk to them. I wiped my tears away and prepared. I didn't want to appear weak, I am a woman after all. Someone might take advantage of me.
After several moments the spinning stopped and my surrounding changed. I was in some field full of flowers and grass. I must say this place was breath-taking, it was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. I was so sick of every thing being dark and lonely. The key I realized had disappeared.
I gazed at this beautiful rose in front of me, it was different from the rest. This flower was a vibrant scarlet, the others a pale yellow or blue. I ran over to the flower not thinking about what I was doing I tripped, upon hitting my head on what I'm guessing was a nearby rock I lost consciousness.

It was a Friday morning, I was in my favorite dress. The summer breeze brushing my bare skin. I'd been walking home from something important. I know I had, because I only wore this dress on special accessions.
I knocked on my front door. They should be up by know, at least Max should. I knocked again only louder, waited several monuments to be left with no reply. Suddenly I remember the key under the mat. I grabbed it and put it in the lock, and turned it. Upon hearing the satisfying 'click' I turned the knob.
"Max I'm home!" I shouted, with no reply. "Max why didn't you let me i-" I looked to the kitchen floor to see my father pinning my brother to the ground. Max was smeared with blood and let out a whine as my father, Sickly smiled at what he just did to my brother.
"You bastard! Let go of him!" I was surprised of how strong my voice sounded. I ran to the kitchen counter and within a seconds notice I retrieved a knife. Max was like melted sugar in my fathers arms.
After a monument he stood up and held out his hand. "Alice all I did was make him feel go-" tears were steaming down my cheeks I ran at him without a monuments delay and I pushed the knife into his throat, and let out a throat aching scream. I pulled the knife out and went to go get Max from the floor, who crawled in the corner in the shape of a ball.
I grabbed him and hugged him in the most embracing hugs, he let out shaking sobs into my shoulder.
"Alice, h-he touched me! He rui-ruined me!" He cried. I let the tears fall from my cheeks and unto him.
"Everything going to be all right Max I promise." I held him closer. "I love you Max."

When I awoke tears where streaming down my cheeks. Max. That was his name, that had to be just a crazy dream...but why does it feel so familiar? What if I really did kill my father, just like that.
I looked down to see blood covering my dress. It's the same one from my dream. I looked at my hands, drenched in blood. What in the name if God happened? Before I could even ponder the question I heard leaves brushing and sticks cracking. I looked up to see the intruder.
(A/N: Pretty dark chapter...but very important! I hope I didn't scare anyone away. I don't plan their to be anymore bits like in this chapter. I've never wrote anything like this at all...but I hope in doing good. :3 I'd also like to thank Icy Metal and Frost Blue Roses for their awesome review! ^_^ I yet again hope you guys liked it!)
