Golden Tree

Find a solution

Joanna's POV
After a long pause I questioned her "Weren't you suppose to be in Wonderland?"
"Weren't you suppose to be in wherever the city you live ?"
I look at her with a blank expression. Who did she know I'm not from here. She read my thoughts and said "Your clothes. I used to live in London, you know. That's why I know your from here."
I blinked "Right. Do you know how to get out of here... I mean out of this realm to my country..."
"Sorry, I can't help you. For that you need a portal and I don't have any magic beans. Anyway. How do you get in here?"
"One day ago, it was my birthday and I was in the woods with y friend Alice. It appeared a hole out of nowhere and I fall into it. I blacked out. When I wake up I was here."
"Wait! Did you just said yesterday. Yesterday was May seventeen. How old are you?" - she seemed alarmed
"17 years old. Why?"

The other Alice's POV

That's when I start putting all the pieces together. May 17th was when the daughter of Anastasia, Alice, had disappeared and that happened 17 years ago. She wasn't even 3 months when she disappeared. She probably end up in the other realm with her. Wait. Who the hell is she?
Then I look at her neck she was wearing a necklace with a golden tree.
She is seventeen. Omg. She's Joanna, missing daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. Everyone know about the prophecy that she would come back 17 years later to save the kingdom. Alice must have been affect by the prophecy in same way, sending her to the other realm too.
"Hey! Are you there?"- Joanna asked
I woke up from my thoughts.
"Yeah. Sorry."
"You were just staring at that tree for more that 2 minutes." - she said pointing at the tree
"Did you said that a girl was with you after you came here? What was her name?"- I asked her ignoring her statement
She nodded "Her name is Alice."
"Does she have a bracelet with red hearts?"
"Yeah. How do you know that? Wait! Is she your daughter!?"- she asked
"Mine? No. But she is Anastasia's daughter."- her expression went blank again- "Ana was the Red Queen and now is the White Queen. Long story..."
"Ohh. That I didn't know."
"Her daughter disappeared after your parents have send you through the Magic Tree."
"Wait, what? Do you know my parents? How do you even know my name? I never said it to you."
"You don't know?" - I asked her sadly. She just stared at her shoes.
"Look. I just want you to know that your parents did what they could to protect you and their Kingdom."
"Kingdom?"- she asked not believing in what I was saying- "Who are they?"
We sit on the floor and I said
"I'm going to tell you the story I know. - Joanna just nodded- "Seventeen years ago, the Evil Queen was threatening your parents, Snow White and Prince Charming, and the kingdom. However, the Evil Queen's threat were always empty. When Snow find out she was pregnant she stayed very worried because they knew that the Evil Queen, Regina, would try to kill you. In spite of protecting you and the future of the Kingdom they went to see Rumplestilskin, a wizard that make deals, to see if he knew a way to protect you. That was when he told your parents about the Magic Tree and about the prophecy."
She looked at me with a thoughtful face.
"So my parents, Snow and Charming, send me through a tree,; so they could save me, so 17 years later I could save the realm?"- I was going to answer but she just continued- "And by fate my best friend end up to be the daughter of Anastasia?
I answered her "Yes. Pretty much that. It's a lot to swallow, isn't it."
She nodded "So, how did you knew who I was?"
I pointed to her necklace.
"Your parents give it to you when you were born. The necklace you have just a few people know about it. However you need to be careful if the Evil Queen finds you...
"She will kill me."- she interrupted
"Exactly."
"So. How am I suppose to save the kingdom. Should I go look for my parents?"
"Yes. You should came with me. Your parents are probably in the castle and I'm going in that direction."
"Didn't you said you were looking for your husband? How do you know where he his?"
I picked Cyrus' clock from my bag.
" I used a spell that can localise him if I have something that belongs to him."
"Cool." - she seemed very excited- "I'm starting to like this place."
"You know, you look a lot like me when I first went to Wonderland. I think we will get along."
"I think so."
We start walking to the near village.
"Do you have something to eat? I'm starving." - Joanna said to me
"You could have asked before." - I looked into my bag- "I just have an apple."
"How convenient."- she said and laugh
I start laughing to.
