Darkness In Wonderland

Introducing "Wonderland"

I woke up, feeling strange. Carl was there, sitting in my swivel chair, looking up from his book when he saw that I was awake. "Miss Mystery!" He exclaimed, looking at me with a smile. "You gave us quite a freight! Laying there like that." He looked a little worried, but mostly happy. I looked around, trying to remember how I ended up....
"IT WAS HIM!" I yelled, shooting up in a sitting position, remembering what happened.
Carl jumped, not expecting me to yell like that.
"Miss Mystery? Are you alright?" He asked, nervously. I looked at him, remembering the White Rabbit calling me the same thing. "Carl,maybe... Oh,never mind." I said, getting up and sitting back down, remembering everything. Carl sat there, looking at me like I was crazy. Maybe I am, But that's not what I'm worried about.
Oh no....
I realized I still had my sweatshirt on, and checked the pocket's, which strangely reminded me of the White Rabbit. I sigh of relief, feeling the journal, knowing it's still here. I looked at Carl, who was probably wondering why I'm acting like some crazy person. Maybe I shouldn't tell him, he'd probably think I was on drugs or something. "I just had a weird dream,that's all." I explained to him, which he didn't believe, but excepted it. I asked if I could be left alone. He nodded, got up and left, saying "Well, I'm glad you're feeling well, Miss Mystery." When he shut the door behind him, I sighed, replaying what happened yesterday in my head, seeing the White Rabbit and I stand there, staring at each other. I decided to draw a quick sketch of his coat, wondering if Carl knew what it was. Still picturing him in my head, I began drawing his coat, along with his pocket watch. While drawing, I started to wonder...
How did he get there?
And why was he wearing clothes?
Was he there all that time?
Then another thought popped up in my head.
How did he know my last name?
I stopped drawing, and stared at it, the question repeating over and over inside my head.
How did he know my last name?
I thought hard, replaying our weird encounter once more inside my head:

"I'm sorry if I startled you, but I'm quite late."
"I must hurry,but we will see each other soon, Miss Mystery."

Hmm, I wonder what he meant. I continued drawing, almost finished. I started thinking about the White Rabbit again.
How come he seemed so...
Familiar? And yet I've never seen him before?
Calling him "White Rabbit", the name also sounded familiar. I finally finished drawing, and headed towards the door, wondering about OTHER problems, as in, a certain witch that got her brew ruined by a certain girl, who's now out to get me.
Isn't this wonderful news.
I quietly opened the door, and peeked my head out.
Seemed safe enough, for now.
I opened the door all the way, and quickly headed down stairs, drawing in hand. When I got to the bottom, I saw the person I hoped not to see anytime soon.
I stood there for a moment, staring at her while she glared at me, but didn't say anything. I looked at Carl, who helped put her fur coat on.
Ugh.
I hate that coat!
Every time I see it, it makes me sick!
"I'm going out." Was all she said, slamming the door. I shrugged, and headed towards Carl. "Hey, Carl," I said, handing him the picture. "Do you know what this is called?" He looked at it, raising an eyebrow. He handed it back to me, saying "I believe that's a waist coat. Why?" I shrugged, thinking what to tell him. Well, I suppose I could say what I said earlier. "It was in the dream I had." I replied, heading towards the back door, wondering if the White Rabbit was going to be there. Carl suddenly interrupted my thoughts. "Miss Mystery, your friends dropped this off by the way." He said, showing me a note. I sighed, and walked over to him. He handed me a note, or invitation. I opened it, reading aloud:

"Hey Diamond,
Josh and I wanted to remind you about the Halloween party that'll happen in 6 weeks! I know,right? We are reminding you because you are very forgetful!:) anyway, make sure to help out with refreshment's, and maybe give us some ideas!
So, be there, or beware! Mwahahaha!
