Alice, you may have heard the name once, or twice. But, have you heard the story about her? What was the title? Ah, Alice in Wonderland. I bet you're thinking 'I've heard this story a million times.' But I promise you you've never heard a story like this.
"Alice, is that you?" Alice turned her head, she saw a very handsome young man, he smiled and placed a funny looking top hat on top of his head. "Alice how've you grown! You're a beautiful young lady now!" Alice made a very puzzled face, "Do I know you?" the young man's smile faded from his lips. "Why yes, I am the Mad Hatter. Remember?" Alice just stared at him.
A white rabbit had hopped pass repeating "Im late! Im late!" Alice felt that she should follow him. She ran little ways before losing the little rabbit. "Hmmm." Alice turned her body, she could have sworn she saw a boy. Green eyes were glowing from the forest trees, then a smile appeared.
Alice stared at the cutest boy she sworn she had ever seen. The boy had purple hair, green eyes, and a purple tail? "Why hello Alice. It's been a while." he said. Alice felt as if time had stopped, all Alice could do is stare, she stared at his purple hair. How it was in his face, she itched to brush it out of his face. What she loves most about him was his charming smile. Alice smiled and said "Hi, I'm Alice." the boy looked confused. "Umm Alice, are you alright?" Alice then snapped out of it. "Yeah why?" he looked into Alice's eyes, "Because we've met before. I'm Cheshire Cat remember?" Cheshire smiled and faded back into the forest trees.
"Who are you? Who are you?!" Alice struggled to talk, all she could see and breathe was smoke. "I-i'm Alice," she coughed. Looking at the little blue caterpillar creating the smoke. "You are not the right Alice." He said. Alice couldn't keep her temper down. "I'm not the right Alice? Im not the right Alice?! I'm not even sure how I got here, and now you're telling me I'm not the right Alice?! She stormed out of the mushroom grove.
Alice had no idea where she was going, but she didn't seem to care. "Im late! Im late!" The rabbit from earlier! Alice called after it. "Excuse me can you help me?" She chased it. It seemed to be running from her "Excuse me little rabbit?" It stopped and turned around its eyes big and brown. He twitched his nose thinking if he should help her or not. Alice's eyes begged the rabbit. "Oh, Alright." He said.
Alice followed the rabbit, "I'm Alice" she said. The rabbit walked ahead "I'm Peter, Peter White." He said without turning around. We walked into a small cottage, he handed me a small brownie that read "Eat Me," in pink frosting, and a little bottle of a sparkling substance. The ribbon around it read "Drink Me," "Eat the brownie." Said Peter.
"Peter? Are you home?" his eyes grew too big for his head then grabbed the brownie and shoved it in my mouth. It tasted bitter and dry but I managed to swallow it. Everything started to turn humongous! Even Peter was bigger!
A woman stepped in from the hall. Thank god she's human, Alice thought. Nope, she thought too soon. The woman wore a ball gown that was black, white, and Scarlet red. It was designed with hearts. "Why hello your highness." the rabbit gave a nervous smile, and let out his paw so I can climb on.
The "Queen" didn't look convinced. She leaned into Peter, Alice could feel the brownie trying to climb up her throat. The queen give the rabbit, a wet kiss! Alice gaged, the queen must have heard it because she smiled evilly, Alice covered her mouth, begging herself to shut up. "Give the little pest here Peter." said the Queen. Peter White looked down on the ground and handed Alice to her.
"Let me go, let me go! Please!" Alice begged, and pleaded. "Your lucky your not getting your head off." Said the queen to Peter. "Head off?!" Alice began to cry. The queen placed a finger under Alice's chin, ""Your head should go on my wall since you're not that bad looking." That made Alice cry even more. The castle was only a short distance. The queen shoved Alice into a cold dark cage. The queen left in an instant.
During the night Alice had nightmares. She wondered how you have a dream in your dream. But something woke her up. She couldn't see what it was since it was pitch black. "Come here girl." called a scratchy voice of a man. Grubby hands clawed at Alice's arms. "Get away from me!" Alice screamed. The man took her into a long room where the queen was waiting. So was a Guillotine,
Alice was pale with fright. She shut her eyes tight. 'This is it' she thought, 'i'm gonna die in my sleep!' the man with a bag over his face rose the axe, ready to bring it down. "Huh?" Alice was still alive she looked up to see Cheshire unlocking her. "Time to play hide and go scream." he said looking at the man who dropped the axe onto the floor. Peter White ran from the queen's side, and took my hand pulling me to a flower garden.
The flowers sung to her "Sing a song to go back to the place you call home." Alice closed her eyes trying to concentrate on singing. She ended up with 'Mary had a Little Lamb'. The next thing Alice knew was she was in her bed, and late for school. She never wanted to go back to Wonderland.
