Wonderland

Chapter 1

"You're arranging me to get married!?" Alice yells at her mother in utter shock, "You can't do this! It's not fair" she crosses her arms in a huff. "I don't even know him, let alone his name" she cries. "I don't want to marry him. I want to be a normal child, I want to fall in love with the one I marry not just be pawned off because I'm 18 and unmarried. You got to marry dad when you decided you wanted too. Why can't I do the same?" She questions her mother.
"If dad were here he wouldn't allow it. For you to marry his only daughter off to some.... Stranger!" She yells

"You're going to marry this man and that is final! Now go to your room" Her mother yells "ugh!" She stomps her foot, running into her room and slamming the door.
'Maybe I should run away. Somewhere she would never find me. She thought to herself. 'How could she do this to me? It's so unfair' As the night comes to a close, Alice begins to fall asleep. In to a world of dreams where she could be herself.

Alice awakens suddenly, looking at her bedside clock it reads 6:42am well, I'm awake now she thinks to herself. Sitting up she thinks about her dream..

"Alice!?" A voice calls.
"Hello? Who's there? Where am I?" Alice calls but there's no reply.
"The Alice" A voice whispers behind her scaring her awake.
'The Alice?' She says to herself.

"Alice! Breakfast!" Her mother calls from downstairs, pulling her from her thought of the dream. She gets up, putting on her favorite blue dress with black stockings and some flats and makes her way downstairs. "Good morning dear" her mother smiles at her daughter
Alice looks at her mother with a plain face. "Are you still ignoring me?" Her mother asks "Depends, are you still arranging a marriage for me?" She questions making her mother sigh "Yes Alice. The sooner you accept that the better" she says sternly "Well, then there's your answer" Alice replies "The sooner you accept it. The better." She adds in a mocking tone before walking out the front door.

I can't believe she hasn't changed her mind. What kind of mother makes her daughter get married at 21 to someone she doesn't know Alice thinks, making her slightly angry with her mother.
In the midst of her anger she sees a white flash out of the corner of her eye, turning around quickly she sees a rabbit "what are you doing here?" She asks slowly moving towards it. She almost gets it before it turns around and starts hopping away "hey, come back here" she calls, following it.

The rabbit jumps around the corner out of sight from Alice, she quickly runs after it, turning the corner and stumbling as she comes face to face with a mirror but tripping in, she screams as she feels like she's falling forever but landing with a thump. Alice pushes herself off the grassy ground. 'Where am I?' She thinks to herself.
"Alice.." A strange voice calls.
"Hello? Who's there?" She calls to the voice. "Follow me and you will be safe" Alice begins walking towards the voice but soon, it leaves her and she's alone once again.

Walking around she begins to hear a purring noise, "who's there!?" She demands.
"My my... What do we have here?" A man with brown hair and golden brown eyes in a deep blue and silver stripped suit asks as he steps out of the shadows "who are you? Are you following me? Where am I?" The man simply smiles a slightly creepy smile "The name is Sam, but to everyone else I'm known as Cheshire and I would like to keep it that way" he says disappearing and reappearing behind her "And who, are you?" He asks, she turns around quickly to be facing him "I.. I'm Alice" She stutters earning him a wide smile "The Alice?" He grins "Um.. i guess so?" She says. "Follow me" he says disappearing and reappearing a few meters in front of her. "Follow you where?" Alice asks, concern flooding her voice "I'm taking you to the hatter. He can help. Follow me" he whispers enough to be heard.

After a while of walking and Cheshire appearing and disappearing in front of her they arrive at a long table filled with tea cups and chairs around it. At the end of the table sat a man in a white chair, he wore a brown coat, a dark colourful shirt, black pants and a hat sat neatly on top of his head, he was facing away from the pair. "And who, is this you have brought with you Cheshire?" His deep voice asks.
