The Son Of Alice || A Once Upon A Time Story

The Wizard Of Wonderland

I was back to where I started. Stealing to survive. I did for 3 years, will it be for another 3, maybe a lifetime? There was one place I went to, it was said to contain many magical objects. I though I could steal something that could help me pay for things. I was about to put a potion in my bag when I heard a voice.

"Put that back where it belongs, young man." It was a wizard. I put it down. He was holding a black wand with a diamond and a swirl pattern on the bottom. He looked at me funny. "You have... Great potential with magic. Would you become my apprentice?" He suggested "So long as I have a home." I said "I could take you under my wing in potions. What is your name, my boy?" The Wizard asked.

"Jackson." I said "Jackson Fuller."

"Jackson... Why would a 13 year old boy like yourself be in my shop?" The Wizard said. He knew my age? "I can easily tell someone's age simply by looking at them." He said. "My name is Marvello." He said.

Months later...

I sat inside Marvello's library. I nicknamed him The Wizard Of Wonderland, just for fun. And also because there was a book of fairytales inside the library from a realm without magic, and The Wizard Of Oz was my favorite. I was reading a book on potions "Soul Dew, can preserve a soul that will die through an act of revoking magic..." I mumbled.

"Catching up on a little reading, are we?" Marvello laughed. He was sweeping the house. "Yes." I said "I really can't tell you how grateful I am that you taught me so much, and I've read all the magical books in this library. Twice." I smiled.

"You really excel in potions, Jackson." He said. "You know, that's what I want to speak with you about." I said. Marvello looked at me and stopped what he was doing. "My name is Alexander Kingsleigh and I am the son of Alice." I said. "I need a minute." He replied. He went upstairs. I snuck behind him. He went into his room and closed the door. I opened it a crack to see what he was doing.

Jafar appeared on his mirror "I have found the boy you seek, my lord." He said "Good job, Marvello. I will send my guards to your shop, and even come myself." Jafar said. Right then, I knew what was going to happen. I gathered all my things. I went down into the shop and stole many of The Wizard's magical objects, potions and recipes.

I saw a small, light blue pouch on a table. I knew what it was, it could hold as much as you want, regardless of size and weight. I took it too. I left the shop without thinking twice.
