Alice in Murderland

Forgotten Memories (chapter 1)

i may tell this story like it is some normal day, some normal day at the beach but its far from normal, very far from normal. our story begins in my garden 'playing' with my younger sister.......

"autumn please play with me" begged my younger sister, alice. 

i just look at her through my dark shaded sunglasses, i was sat beneath the old willow tree that has been her for decades maybe centeries "no" i say coldly before looking back at my magizine. 

she came over and grabbed my magizine and ran off "play with me and ill give it back" she called running deep into our garden. 

i got up and decided to go after her but when i go round the bush that she had turned, she wasnt there, i went over to the large tree and look round it 'where is she' i thought, then i noticed the little rabbit hole just by my feet, it was big enough for a small adult or a small teenager, 'a little kid could climb through a hole that size' i thought as i bent down to look inside "alice come on out i know your in there" i called down the hole it echoed and echoed, no answer came back. 

i got onto my hands and knees and pushed my head in "ill count to 3 alice and if you dont come out by then im coming in to get you" i called, but no answer "1......2.......3" i said, i began climbing in not wanting to go in there, but i thought it was the only way to find her. i crawled along the slimy horrid rotting dead leaves and other substances beneath my hands and knees, i bit my lip as i crawled, i felt sick but didnt want to scream or anything. 

i kept crawling it felt like hours but it had only been minutes, it seemed pitch black even though light came from the way i came in, but as i crawled i didnt notice the hole, the ground broke underneath me as crawled and i began to fall down the hole, i screamed, thinking i might die, thinking my body would never be discovered and my parents and sister would think i got kidnapped or something. 

i hoped this wasnt going to be my last breath, i hoped i would live but knowing my luck it probably would all end here and now.

i woke laying on the ground of dead leaves, my eyes were blinded slightly by the light of the sun peeking through the trees from above, i sat up and look around the dark forest "hello" i called hoping someone was there. 

no-one came because no-one heard, i began to hear music coming from the distance "Imagine a place you can always escape to, An island off the coast of nowhere" the music sung, i decided to follow it, thinking people may be there. i walk round the forest following the sound of the music, it lured me in, even though i didnt know it, it seem familiar. the leaves under my feet crunched, the music got louder as i got closer, in the distance i saw a table with plenty of seats each one with its own teacups, many different types of cakes were set in the middle, i walk nearer but stay hidden behind a tree so i am not noticed i watched the 4 people at the table drink the tea and eat the cake,one was small like a child of 7 with what looked like mouse ears and a tail, he wore a night gown type outfit, then there was a girl with purple and pink ears and a pink and purple tail which matched her hair, she wore a gypsy type outfit then came the guy at the head of the table he wore a very top hat which was black with a few roses sown on, he whispered to the guy on his right, he was taned, with dark hair and dark eyes, which made me want to go closer to him, but i knew i couldnt. the tan guy nodded to what the man with the hat whispered to him, the tan guy then said looking towards the tree i was hiding behind "surgere tenebrea" in latin which meant shadows rise in english. 

i swallowed hard when i saw his eyes meet mine, i was instintly draw in, i didnt even notice my shadow coming to life behind me, it grabbed me, and it absorbed in to my body, i gasp as i feel myself collapes to the floor. 

my vision became fuzzy, i kept laying on the floor, i tried to blink away the fuzzyness but it wont good, my mind went blank as my eyes shut unable to stay awake any longer, last thing i saw were black boots appoarching me, last thing i feel is someone touching my face, last thing i hear is 'she has returned.....'
