Chapter 10: Alice:
Alice's POV:
Everyone still expects me to take on this monster. "And how are you doing," asks Absolem.
"Absolem," I said.
"You are almost Alice," says Absolem.
"You keep talking in riddles," I said.
"You never listen," says Absolem, "I remember when we first met. Because of my smoke, that I probably should quit, you thought I said Wonderland!"
That's when I started getting flashbacks...
Chorus: Alice in Wonderland
How do you get to Wonderland?
Over the hill or Underland
Or just behind the tree
When clouds go rolling by
They roll away and leave the sky
Where is the land beyond the eye
That people cannot see?
Where can it be?
Where do stars go
Where is the crescent moon?
They must be somewhere in the sunny afternoon
Alice in Wonderland
Where is the path to Wonderland?
Over the hill or here or there?
I wonder where...
"It wasn't a dream," I said, "all of that really happened!" I then saw that Absolem was in a pupa.
"Alice," says Cyrus, "I just learned from the White Princess that Absolem erased my memories of seeing you chasing Nivins the first time! Can you believe it? All for some plan to make you think all of this was a dream until this very moment!"
I then kissed Cyrus and walked away, leaving Cyrus confused.
