You haven't left the kitchen floor since Jefferson left. You missed your appointment with Archie Hopper.
"Regina" Dr Hopper walks into Regina's office awkwardly.
"Archie, what is so important you're making me late for dinner with my son?" She eyes him turning to look out the window.
"I'm sorry Regina but Y/N missed her appointment today, she hasn't missed one ever and she seemed rather excited about it this morning... you are down as her only family and I wanted to see if she was okay?" he asked tentatively. He knew full well that she wasn't family or anything of the sort, but she was all that you had.
"Excited?" Regina looked unimpressed by this.
"Well yes, I feel something must have happened."
"Or someone..." she muttered under her breath."Hopper" she span round and smiled at him. "Please don't worry, Y/N is just fine, she has probably just forgotten, I will head over on my way home and check on her." She coos reassuringly.
"Thank you" Archie smiles back and then leaves. Regina head straight out to your apartment.
"Oh my dear" you hear a familiar voice hovering above you. You're curled up in a ball on the floor but at the sound of her voice you stand up wiping away your tears.
"Thought you'd get yourself a little happy ever after behind my back did we?" Regina pulls a face at you.
"N..no I just..." she puts her hand over your mouth.
"Save it. I'm busy and you're in my way." she lets go and pulls out a small object.
"I didn't bring much into this world with me, but I knew I may need a bit of magic. I'm saving it for my little Emma situation but I think perhaps the tiniest bit used on you might just be worth it and it will ensure Jefferson does what I need him to." she plays with the object in her hand and the looks at you with a sinister smile.
"Wha..what are you talking about?" you stammer, frightened.
"Oh Alice ... no one escapes me... no one." she laughs and then after placing the object flat on her palm she blows in your direction causing a very small purple mist to floats over it and into your face and around your body. You blink away the dust from your eyes and begin to cough, then once its gone your eyes widen.
"I remember.... I rememb......" you suddenly collapse on the floor.
"Sleep well, because tomorrow is gonna be a long day" Regina walks out of your apartment pleased with herself.
The next day you wake up on the kitchen floor, head pounding, slowly you start to get up.
"Where the hell..."you stop your own thoughts as the memories come back to you.
"Shit... Jefferson.." you panic and run out the door. You ran as fast as you could into town towards Granny's.... Archie, Mr Gold and Maurice all stopping to watch you as you run towards the sherifs station.
"Y/N ...." Emma breathed out confused stepping slightly in front of Henry as if to protect him from you. You stopped in front her, feeling confused at her actions. Then you felt it, the whole town looking at you. You hadn't noticed your appearance when you left in a rush. Your hair was a frantic mess, your top torn on one side and you didn't have any shoes on. You looked like you'd been dragged though the woods.
"The magic..." you whisper to yourself.
"What happen Y/N..?" you dart your eyes over to where Mary Margret and David were stood...flashbacks filled your head as you stood there looking at everyone.
"Christ Y/N ...." Ruby came over to you as you doubled over holding your head.
"Stop calling me that.... my name is Alice ..." you manage to get out.
"Y/N what are you talking about?" Emma crouches down to you. You look up and grab her hand.
"Its true! Its all true the whole thing, Emma, please Jefferson, he wasn't lying.... you have to help him please .... He was trapped in wonderland thats how we met ... his daughter ... you have to help him!!" you beg desperately.
"What has he done to you?" Emma looks over you concerned and helping you up.
"He hasn't done anything!! Its Regina, she's coming for you she...." you were stopped as Archie makes his way over to you as Emma looks at you shocked... Henry looks around, unable to process why no one will help or believe you.
"Please Dr Hopper, you have to help me" you cry.
"Come on Y/N, lets get you somewhere safe..."
"No no no!! You aren't listening!" You push him away. You look over at Henry who looks at you both with a mix of emotions, he knows now you believe him but you realise you have also scared him.
"I'll take her...." Regina comes up behind you.
"No no not you!" you look at her frightened moving away.
"Maybe its best Dr Hopper takes her Regina..." Emma notices you scared face.
"I'm down as her emergency contact, I am all the family she has." Regina says titling her head and pulling you away from the crowed. After seeing the way they all look at you, you decide to give up and go with her, not saying a word. Its now obvious to you what she had done, by opening your mind she had made you look mad and unstable again. There was no way out.
Regina heads in the direction of home before making a detour to the hospital and sneaks you into the Asylum... throwing you in a room she cackles before shutting the door. Here you were again.
