Lost In Wonderland

12. Preparations

Dancing on my tiptoes, I gracefully spun around the house. Nobody was home because of their own personal reasons. Something's Gotta Give by All Time Low blasted on the radio, filling the house. It felt great to get loose. My wavy mop of hair swayed everywhere to the beat. Clutching onto the broom, I twirled in circles instead of sweeping the mess on the ground.

A buzzing caught my attention, so I glanced in my room by peaking through the door. Ed Sheeran's melodic voice broke through the rampageous music I had on the radio.

Picking up my phone, I answered it, listening to my mom's voice suddenly burst out.

"Did you feed the horses? Did you clean your room? Can you turn the stove on? Are your siblings home yet?" Dozens of questions flooded my mind as I began heading downstairs. Listening to her go on and on, I accidently lost my footing and fell down the staircase.

My mind fogged with visions of a silver haired boy with green and yellow eyes. He had devious smirk that could extend to opposite poles on the earth. A handsome gentleman with an obsession for hats. A pair of red headed twins with freckles. A doctor with bipolar emotions but a gift for helping people. Two brothers with white ears poking out. Then a Queen with a passion for the color red and cutting people's heads off.

I woke up in an empty room. Sitting up, I took in the scenery before a boy with white bunny ears opened the door. He looked stunned to see me, and it snapped into place.

I was back in Wonderland, and this was none other than Levi.

I am Amelia, the daughter of The Queen of Hearts and a human named Alister.

I'm in love with the son of the Mad Hatter, Ethan.

"Levi?" I coughed out, my throat felt like sand paper. He placed the tray he was bringing in aside and stepped closer to me. I wrapped my arms around him, searching for comfort.

"Servants!" He shouted, accepting my embrace. "Miss Gold is awake! Inform the Queen right away!" I let go of him and he took my chin in his hand.

It didn't take that long before my mother arrived. Instead of her usual red gown, she wore a slim checkered pencil skirt and red blouse. A smile spread across her face, but she looked happier than Levi did when he saw my condition.

"Where's Ethan?" I croaked, lying back down before my mother handed me a glass of water. I drank it gratefully, as she explained about his mission. She ordered Levi to contact the boys immediately, but I told him not to.

"I don't want to be a bother." I sighed. She placed a warm hand over my temple to check my temperature before standing back up.

"He won't mind. Just get some sleep." I nodded and rolled over. A steaming cup of coffee sat on my nightstand.

I fell asleep after admiring the blue pattern that wrapped around the cup.

"Amelia!" Ethan's voice blared into the room as he pushed the door open. My eyes fluttered open to notice his body tightly wrapped around my own.

"Ethan Nathaniel Hatter." I scolded, tapping his nose. "I was sleeping." Letting go, his face grew rosy.

"May I lie down?" He cautiously spoke, and I knew he was the reason why I was here today. I couldn't be more thankful. He must have been afraid after finding me.

"When have you ever asked?" I teased and he laughed. Tossing himself beside me, our faces were only inches apart. He took his hat off and put it on my head. I didn't notice the flower crown until several daisies fell onto the pillow. We sat in silence for a long while, and he rubbed circles onto my stomach.
