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

Wish You Were Here

We walked out of the dark forest, back to our camp where Summer awaited us. "Where have you been for the last 24 hours?!" She yelled at us. "We weren't gone that long. What are you talking about?" Emma asked. "I spent a night in this tent..." Summer was getting teary "All alone... in a realm I don't know where there are scary creatures and..." she continued. Kenzie walked in for a hug, and her friend cried into her shoulder. "You're strong Summer. I'm sorry you had to go through that." She said. I looked down in silence. I felt that it was my fault. But then I went to hug Summer too. "I'm so sorry. Time runs strangely in Wonderland." I told her.

"We'll if we want to leave this scary place, we best be on our way to the next ingredient. What's left?" Petra asked. "There's three more." I told her "I know how to get them, but we have to set up our camp closer to the location." I began walking then stopped in my tracks down a path. "And where's that?" Petra asked.

I gulped. "Central Wonderland."

3 hours later

We had arrived at out new campsite in a clearing of the tall grass surrounding us. I placed down, then helped Emma set up the tent. I could see Petra and Kenzie working together to set up a pot holder while Summer was out closer to trees collecting firewood. Emma and I had finished and as I approached the other two, Petra said, now go fill that pot with water. Kenzie was about to do so before I stopped her.

"Wait!" I went to hug her. "I need to get the final ingredients on my own." I said "Why?" My girlfriend asked "It's personal." I told her, then kissed her on her forehead then gave her another kiss but on the lips and smiled. "I have to go now, I love you, and I'll see you later." I said "Goodbye my prince." She said with a smile. I went to the tent to change my clothing so I could blend in.

No one knows where I was heading.

But it was Marvello's shop.

I took a look at myself in my ten year old's outfit. This wouldn't do, it was waaay too tight everywhere and too short on the legs, so I stretched it out and managed. I took my short journey to this city, with my hood over my head. I bumped someone's shoulder. "Watch where you're going, boy." The person said "Sorry." I whispered.

I had finally reached my destination and was sure to be quiet coming through the door. I quickly gathered what I need to, which included two fingers, 3 whited rose petals, painted red and a vile of a Royal's blood. Then I took other ingredients then I read the label of a vile with a clear liquid that said 'Chiseljuice. Will remove one from being turned to stone.' You're Welcome Christopher. But then I heard a noise from the back, and The Wizard of Wonderland stepped in.

"So the son of Alice has returned to Wonderland." I quickly took out my sword. "I was just about to leave!" I said sternly. But Marvello picked up a genie lamp. And I never told you that I was born with one.

14 years ago

"There's a lamp. I know what this means, it's a boy!" My father exclaimed.

Back to present

I was born with capability of imprisonment. "Don't do this." I said "Go back in here genie." The Wizard said and opened it. I dropped my sword and golden bracelets appeared on my wrists, which represents my imprisonment, and like that, I was sucked into the genie lamp, which I felt Marvello place on a counter. I needed Mackenzie now more than ever. The place was like a one room apartment.

"Oh, Mackenzie, I wish you were here to save me." I whispered, holding my legs in my arms, leaning against the bed, with a tear rolling down my right cheek.
