The End of the Road

Falling

The rabbit hole led to a hole in the sky. The kingdom below was beautiful. I screamed and looked to Alice who was calm. She lifted her hand but and extended one finger to silence me.
"We are going to hit the ground! Don't expect me to be quiet during my death!"
"You're not going to die. Trust me."
She said it so calm and cool. She opened her eyes to look at me and grin. She looked down toward the ground. I looked and saw a small lake with a waterfall flowing into it. Alice dived into the water. I braced myself for the impact. As I hit the water it gave feeling of weightlessness and I quickly swam to the surface meeting Alice. There was a small building on the side of the lake. We swam to shore and began to walk out of the water. I wronged out my hair and my skirt. Alice started walking to the office. I ran and caught up with her.
"Where are we?"
"This is the white queens kingdom."
"White queen? There are two kingdoms on top of each other?"
"Yes. But one problem at a time we have to be registered."
"Ok"
We walked into the building. There was one counter and a woman behind it coddling a baby.
"Hello Mrs. Salt. I'm here to register a new member."
The old woman looked up spectacles on her face. She squinted and then her face lit up.
"OH Alice my dear! It has been so very long! A new member you say well let me go get her a celebration mug."
"Thank you Mrs. Salt but a mug is not needed just an membership."
"Oh ok dear I'll be right on that. Oh hold sugar!"
The woman puts the small baby into Alice's arms. Mrs. Salt ran into the back room. I walked over to look at the child. In the blanket was a pig!
"Alice this is no child."
I said in a hushed voice but Alice stayed calm.
"All spoiled children are like pigs! And sugar has been spoiled. It is something that happens in Wonderland."
"Wonderland? That is where we are?"
"Yes, Wonderland is a land full of lessons and consequences come when one is bad,or spoiled as sugar."
Mrs. Salt came out with a small rock on a bracelet. I put it on.
"Thank you Mrs. Salt."
Me and Alice left the home with the pig child. I didn't know where Ergon was and had no idea where to find him. Alice knew the person who would. The white queen.
