Wonderland (but not like grandma alice would remember)

The centaur

*Dormouse POV*

I looked at Celia. She was practically identical to her Grandmother. But there was obvious differences. One being the eye patch.

"Why do you wear a patch my dear?" I questioned

********************

Earlier on.

*Celias POV*

The ground shook.

"Not what my dear! Who!" Ms.Dormouse yelled. I Was so confused, when all of a sudden, a beast, larger than any tree, arose from the forest way into the distance.

It screamed.

Its scorching voice shook the air, tore my mind. I felt as if my sanity was being slowly being worn away...well to be honest...I always feel that way.

I fell to the ground clutching me head, dizziness intoxicated me, the creature began to stride.

I heard my name being yelled at me from a distance, the voice became bolder louder. It sounded like my aunt.

*Come on Celia, Celia, get up.*

"Celia!" Dormouse panicly squealed. I came back to myself, and just as I pulled my self back together, I was flung up to the air, and scooped under the arm a creature. My vision was still blury. I struggled to stay conscious.But failed.

*Readers POV*

Celia was carried far off by a creature. Who traveled fast through the land, to a distant wood. The creature raced with four legs. The creatures matt fur blended into the dimness of the woods. The creatures well build upper body was bare and well built.

As Celia was carried a branch caught her patch. She carried on to travel, the patch, did not.

...........................

Time traveled on. The gentle sound of a river flowing cleared the silence of the woodland which sung along with the birds tweet.

The only other sound heard was the droning but handsome voice singing gently. A small mumble was heard as a young girl fidgeted, accidentally waking herself. Her head rested against the moss covered trunk of a fallen tree. Her eye lids flickered in the sunlight.

The singing stopped.

"Ahh, young Alice, I now see you are awake." A deep, slow, but tender voice said gently. The voice continued to hum.

The girl looked at the speaker, and stood up steadily. She noticed a common feature seen on her was missing, her eye patch. She covered her eye on which it would normally sit.

"You mistake me for my Grandmother" The girl said, as her hair waved gently in the wind. It must have come loose from its little buns in the mix of it all.

The humming stopped.

A creature looked over the river. silence fell.

"Is that so." The speaker stood on all for of his legs. His cote matt, and dull. But his upper body, was the build of a man. Muscular, Strong.The creature turned to face her. "Then whom have I acquired?" His voice tense. It was clear he was not pleased with his results.

The girl looked at him with her one eye available,

"My name is Celia."

The creature grunted at this response with a *hmph* noise.

"Where is your grandmother"

"Beyond us." Celia mumbled. The centaur looked at her from the corner of his eye and grunted again, snapping his head back round to face the river.

"Ah! You're awake" A small voice observed allowed from the foot of Celia.

It was dormouse.

Before dormouse could carry on speaking the centaur spoke.

"The kin of the Alice...She'll have to do" He muttered " Celia. You. Kin of Alice. I shall take you to where you need to go! " The centaur said like he knew Celia's plan. But that's where its funny, Celia didnt have a plan. But she spoke anyway.

"Okay!" She spoke with determination.

"So , where may you be going to?" Oh. Oh dear. He though she had a plan. A great plan to save their asses. Celia stood silent. One eye open, hiding her eye from sight. "You don't know , do you?" Disappointment swimming in his voice. "Pathetic" He growled angrily. He stepped towards her and through her over his back and began to walk away.

"That was no fun" A little voice said from Celias ear. Dormouse hopped in front of Celia. "So, Celia. What do you plan to do?"

"How am I to know, what to do?" Celia said, looking at dormouse with one eye open.

"This is the part where you say you'll save us." Dormouse said blankly. It annoyed Celia. Oh whoopee. She was her Grandmothers kin, not her grandma her self. She couldn't walk a few steps and magically know what to do.

" I shall take you to where you need to go" The centaur spoke.

" I dont even know your name"

"Vetro" He replied. " I shall take you to the Lady"

" And what mushroom have you been eating! " Dormouse squealed. They proceeded to argue over taking me to this Lady. But if i have to be blunt, I wasn't paying attention, I was to busy wondering inside my own head.
