I thought I could just run, but that was only making it worse, I wasn't tired nor hungry, I was scared.
I slowed my pace when I neared an apple tree, I tiptoed as high as I could to reach just one. I snatched it with such force that other apples also came tumbling down.
"Ow, what was that for!" I heard a surprised voice yell.
"Well, it wasn't my fault you clumsy fool." Another voice pitched in.
"It was you!" The two voices say in unison.
"Me?" I mumble taking in their hideous features, they looked to be twins, they were so skinny, like a bag of bones with hollow eyes and prominent cheekbones, they were wearing matching outfits that were close to being rags.
"Oh, it's Alice!" One of them snickers, while skipping towards me.
"Who are you?" I question blankly.
"You don't remember us?" One answers while lowering his head in shame.
"Of course I do, I just um don't remember which one of you is which."I lie, then laugh nervously.
"Oh, I'm Tweedle Dum, and that's Tweedle Dee." Tweedle Dum says smiling.
They both run over to me and hug me, I would have said they crushed me, but they were so skinny and frail I was surprised that I didn't break them instead.
I could instantly smell the rotting that was sweeping off of their bodies.
"Where are you off to Alice, we were just on our way to Mad Hatter's for tea, would you like to join us." They question hazily.
"No actually, I was just looking for a way out of here." I say quickly.
"But you just got here?" Tweedle Dee presumes.
"Yea let's go have a little tea Alice!" Tweedle Dum spits a little too loud.
"Oh no I really must not." I say turning to leave.
"Wrong answer Alice." I heard a voice say before I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.
And that's when it went black.
I woke up to being carried-well dragged by my arms, my head was pounding and I couldn't feel my legs. I looked down only to find a rope tied around my ankles and my knees.
I heard a soft humming coming from above. It sounded just like the song "Ring Around the Rosie"
I could have sworn that's what it was.
I woke up to being half slumped over in my chair. There was a napkin in my lap and around my neck.
"Where am I?" I mutter.
I look up to see a man sitting directly across from me.
"It's so nice of you to finally join us, miss Alice, I think we have waited long enough, don't you suppose?" The man smiles slyly while tipping his hat. I noticed how his hair was red and far too big for his top hat, or the way his clothes seemed a bit too colorful in this dark world that has consumed us all.
"Mad Hatter, Alice." The man greeted.
"Why am I here?" I beg." I just want to go home." I continue.
"Wouldn't we all, Alice?" Mad Hatter spits while lowering the tea from his mouth.
"Yes, wouldn't we all." He says once more lowing his head.
