Mary woke up in a fairly peaceful room. The room was spacey and well furnished,  including a bed, desk, computer, and even a mini-fridge. The walls were painted a dark shade of crimson, which oddly, seemed to comfort her. It was unfamiliar, but pleasant at the same time. A single door lead out of this room, which was oddly ornate and decorative, and didn't  quite seem to fit with the rest of the room.

However, the most peculiar thing about this room, is that pictures of Mary were plastered all over the walls. They showed Mary in various locations, such as her own croquet field, the Mad Hatter's tea party, and even her own bedroom. Was she being stalked? Did she get kidnapped? And what about that crazy dream? Mary was totally lost.

Then, suddenly, the ornate door sprang open. Out came...a small rabbit.

"Oh, Mary, thank god, you're awake!" The young rabbit sighed in relief.

"Who are you? What's going on?" Mary asked.

"Quickly now, there's no time to explain. Out of bed you go, and follow me!" The young rabbit proclaimed. 

The rabbit then hopped away quite quickly.

"Well, wasn't that odd? Who was that rabbit? And how does he know me? Should I really follow him?" Mary thought to herself.

She decided she had nothing to lose. 

As she stepped out of bed, she realized what she was wearing.

"What the..." She said.

She was dressed in a silk robe, which was plain white with pink tulips surrounding it. A shimmering red glow enveloped the robe.

"How is this possible? Never once have I seen anything like this!" Mary thought to herself.

Mary didn't want to follow him. Everything seemed so...surreal.

"Then again, what choice do I have? It's not like i'm going to figure anything out just by staying here..."

So Mary decided to follow the rabbit out the door.
