Underground

The Queen

"Um, what do you mean?" I ask Will confused. The White Queen? What? Wasn't she good?

"The Queen is terrible. She has been terrorizing people forever. Well, for a number of years now."

"Don't you mean the Red Queen?" I ask nervously.

"No, are you joking? Her sister? She is good."

"Good? Hardly. I've read the books and I've seen the movies. The Red Queen is the bad one."

"Well, she was. But she changed; she started helping people as her sister went to the dark side. She has many poisonous apples she keeps in her castle. They may look delicious, but they are deadly." Oh, like Snow White. This Wonderland is so confusing.

"When did this all happen?" I inquire.

"When I was just a little boy, probably about ten years ago. I know it doesn't seem like a long time, but trust me, it has felt like forever." I look at him and immediately see something in his eyes, a flashback of the past.

War was raging. It was the Red Queen' army vs. the White Queen's. It looked like by then the White Queen was bad and the Red Queen was good. Will was hiding behind a tree armed with a sword. He then sprung out to fight the White Queen, who was slaying dozens of innocent people. She used magic to hurl throw him back at the tree. He hit his head hard. She then killed fought against two people, husband and wife. They were killed by her magical sword. "Mum! Dad!" Will screamed, holding his head. Those were his parents, who had bravely fought against the White Queen- and they were gone.

I blink and the flashback is gone. "Whoa, what was that?" I ask no one in particular.

"Your eyes, they changed color like you were in a trance."

"I have no idea what that was; do you?" I ask Will.

"No," he responds.

"I saw your past, Will. I saw what happened when the White Queen attacked your village. Will, I saw everything."

"I think I've seen this once before but it's very rare. Alice, you're having visions."
