She walks around with her head down wondering what to do. Her heart is shattered, broken, tattered. She is trying to find the piece of her heart that was hidden amongst the clouds. Her mind is a funnel of questions. Spiraling in a crazy motion. Left and right. Up and down. She looks to her feet and sees a rabbit hole. Remembering a story her parents told her before their tragic death. She decides to escape her tragic life and live in a world full of wonder. She dives into the rabbit hole, head first.

A few years later a group of teenagers are walking through the same woods. All is fun and games until they hear someone speaking in the distance. One of the boys in the group takes a small step forward and yells into the vast fog surrounding them "Is someone there?" Suddenly the group hears a soft, maniacal laugh erupt from the fog. Chills run up the young boy's spine. He looks to his friends in fear and then turns around and yells out "Who are you? What do you want?" A little girl with a crazed look in her eye and messy hair emerges out of nowhere. "Come with me to Wonderland sir. Don't you worry. You will be safe." He turns around and sees his friends are no where to be found. "Where did you take them?" He screams.The young girl looks at him with a devilish grin and says "Don't you worry about them, they are in a better place now, sir." He starts to sob uncontrollably. He tries to run away. When he stops running he lays down in the grass. He closes his eyes just for a second. This isn't happening. I must be dreaming. It's just a bad dream. When he opens his eyes the devilish little girl is standing over him. She smiles this evil smirk and says "Would you like to join them?"

Months later a news article comes out talking about that night in the woods. The title is "Boy Kills friends and Little Girl in The Woods." The boy, instead of going to prison, was sent to a mental institution because of his state of mind when they found him. "Wonderland! Wonderland! I tell you Wonderland made me this way!" He yells at the guards. He sits in his little padded room with his arms wrapped around his knees. He rocks back and forth thinking about that night. All he can think about is the little girl killing his friends in front of him. He screams out "Why?" He then feels someone watching him. He turns around and sees the little girl looking at him. "I never got to introduce myself,sir, my name is Lucille." She says. He looks at her in pure terror and screams before he is brutally interrupted by a knife in his chest.
