To Wonderland

Dear Diary-

Life's a mystery. I was just visiting Charlotte and we came across this locked closet. When we asked for help on opening it, no wanted to help. So when I went home I asked daddy and he said that he has a whole ring of keys he can lend me if I'd like. I said yes thank you very much.

So then I went back to Charlotte's BIG castle and we tried each key until we found one. I took it off the ring and said that we can tell my daddy that none of them worked. So we opened the closet and behind this large mirror, like it touched the ground, we found another door. So we opened it. It led to this large room full of red velvet things like the curtains, these chairs, even the carpet was velvet. So we also found this large wooden door that when we opened it, it led to a large Throne Room! It was so cool!!

So we were looking at this large painting and I told Charlotte that one day that would be me and she didn't believe me. So out of anger I pulled on one of the statues and the arm moved. Revealing a secret wall of blank masks. Each had a name on it but one said MELINA and another said CHARLOTTE. We thought it was weird but tried to ignore it. When I went back to the painting Charlotte let out a loud scream and when I ran back to her I couldn't find her. Just some random girl. When I asked her if she knew where Charlotte went she said I am her! It's me Melina! I'm right here. I began to panic and slowly backed out the girl pulled her face off and a light shinned and it was Charlotte and she was holding a mask!

We both realized what magical powers Charlotte had and we decided to keep it a secret. So when I went home we pretended to zip our lips, we hugged, did our handshake and I went home.

Trust me... I will be in that picture.
