Return to 'London' (An E.A.H/Madness returns fanfic)

Ch.4 London

The Wonderlandians went down the hole, they were surrounded by many odd items that were down the rabbit hole such as shelves, books, maps, a piano. Down they went, until everything went black. Alistair started to open his eyes and saw some light. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw his friends laying down around him, and that they were now laying on some dark street with only some street lamps giving lights and no people around.

"Guys!" he said as he shook his friends "Get up!"

"Where are we?" Bunny asked as she rubbed her eyes.

"I don't know" Alistair said as they all got up "But wherever we are, I don't think we could get back to Ever After".

"We should call for help" Lizzie suggested.

"I'm on it" Alistair said as he tried to call his mom, but there was no signal "There's no signal!"

"I don't have any bars!" Kitty gasped as she showed her phone.

"Neither do I!" Maddie also gasped.

"Well this is great" Dina said sarcastically "We're stuck here now, and where exactly are we?"

"Let's ask someone" Cari said "Ask that guy" she pointed to a man that was walking down the road.

"Excuse me sir" Alistair called "But where-".

"Buzz of kid!" the man growled and walked away.

"Well that was rude" Alistair said.

"Um, maybe that kid can tell us" Cari pointed to a kid on the sidewalk.

"Excuse me boy" Bunny said "But can you tell us-".

"You have funny ears!" the boy laughed at her as he ran away.

"Well" Bunny frowned "Is everyone here rude?"

But before they could answer, a meow was heard, everyone turned around and saw Dinah.

"Dinah" Alistair said "Where are we?"

Dinah meowed as walked away.

"I think she wants us to follow her" Kitty said as they all followed the cat.

As they walked down the streets, more people appeared, some were drunk on the streets, kids ran around laughing like maniacs, everyone just minded their own business.

"Hey" Marchness pointed to a newspaper on the ground "Maybe this newspaper can tell us where we are".

He picked up the newspaper and read it.

"Oh my God" he gasped.

"What?" everyone asked.

"We're in London!" he said "In 1875!"

"What?!" everyone gasped.

"1875?!" Lizzie gasped "How did this happen? Did we time travel?"

"That hole we fell down must of brought us back to the 1800's" Alistair said.

"But why?" Maddie asked.

Dinah meowed and walked away.

"Come on" Alistair said a they continued to follow the cat.

They followed Dinah down the streets until they came upon an apartment like building.

"Houndsditch Home for Wayward youth" Cari read the sign.

"Wait a minute" Alistair said "This was the place my mother stayed when she was releases from the asylum".

They followed Dinah inside where it smelled like old paint. They followed Dinah upstairs where she stopped in front of a door. Maddie opened the door and they stepped into an office.

"Who's office is this?" Kitty asked as they walked around.

Dinah then jumped on a desk and meowed. Alistair went up to the desk and found a picture frame with a photo of a girl about 18. He turned the frame around and found the name Elizabeth Liddell written on the back.

"Elizabeth Liddell?" he gasped.

"Who?" Maddie asked.

"Elizabeth Liddell, my mother's sister who died in the fire".

He showed them the photo, and they looked at Lizzie.

"She kinda looks like you" Kitty said to Lizzie.

"Not really" Lizzie said.

"But kind of".

"I remember my mom telling me that she was called Lizzie" Alistair said "And that Dr. Bumby used to be obsessed with her, he would stalk her".

Lizzie shivered.

"And that when he broke in that night, he, well, did the thing to her before killing her and setting the house on fire".

"What do you mean he did the thing?" Maddie asked, but when he showed her the look, she realized what he meant "Oh my gosh!"

"And that's why I never got to meet my aunt" he added as he put the frame down.

"You think you were named after her?" Tammy asked Lizzie.

"I don't think so" Lizzie said "My mother didn't know her, so she named me after Queen Elizabeth".

Alistair then noticed a notebook on the desk, he opened it and found that it belonged to Dr. Bumby. He then started to read the journal entries, but as he read further, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Guys!" he gasped "Look at this" he showed them a journal entry.

"What about it?" Dina asked.

"Look at the date" he said as they read the date.

"That's today!" Kitty gasped.

"But different year" Tony added.

"But who wrote it?" Bunny asked.

"Dr. Bumby".

"What?!" they gasped.

"See look" Alistair pointed to the words "Same hand writing from his last entry which was a long time ago".

"Hold on" Maddie said "Doesn't that mean he's-".

Everyone hesitated.

"Back?" Maddie finished nervously.

Dinah meowed and nodded her head.

"He really is back?!" Lizzie gasped.

"Wait a minute" Alistair said as he read the journal entries "Listen to this: I'm back from the dead, I don't know how, I don't know why, but I'm back, and it's great to be back. Now that I'm back, I would love to get my revenge on Alice, but I can't seem to find her. But I did learn that she now has a son name Alistair who goes to some school with some other Wonderland kids. Perhaps if I can get my hands on her son and maybe the others, I could get the revenge I want".

Everyone was shocked.

"What do we do?" Bunny asked nervously.

"Well" Alistair said "I don't think he knows we're here, so as long as he doesn't find out, I think we'll be fine".

Just then, footsteps were heard coming up the stairs.

"Quick hide!" Alistair whispered as they all hid in different spots.

The door then opened, there in the doorway was Dr. Bumby.

In case you guys don't get the 'thing', it means that he raped her (plus pic of Dr. Bumby in his office)
