Queen Alice

Back to Wonderland

Alice's POV

It's been four years since I've visited Wonderland. Four long treacherous years that have felt like decades. Although it's been much fun having my mother be my sailing partner and sailing around the world but I miss Wonderland more than anything. My truest friends are in Wonderland including my very closest friend, the hatter. Even now as I stand on my ship I remember the place I'd left so long ago. The crazy plants and people that I miss. Snapped out of my daze by rabid coughing I rush to my mother as she has been very sick. "Don't worry mother we shall be home soon." Taking my hand she looks up at me. "Alice. I'm not going to make it. When the time comes I have put letters to your sister along with you in my wooden box." "Don't talk like that mother!" I say to her with tears falling like a waterfall down my cheeks. Calling one of my crew members to watch over my mother and man the ship back home. It's early morning as the sun is still coming up when we arrive. "Mother! We're home!" I turn when I hear the door begin to open but the only person to come out is a forlorn crew member shaking their head. I brush past them them in a mad dash and throw open the door to my mother's sleeping quarters. My mother's pale lifeless body lies in her bed. "Mother! Mother please get up we're home!" I reach for her hand but pull away quickly because of the utterly alarming cold. The next week was an emotional mess. Telling my sister and planning mother's funeral. The funeral was a beautiful service but so sorrowful. I stayed longer than everyone else and was alone for awhile. Suddenly I felt something soft under my arm. Screaming, I fell backwards and landed hard on my back. Standing over me was a white rabbit in a waistcoat. I sat up expediently and looked down at it. "McTwisp!" The rabbit only looked up at me before darting through the wood while I follow at his heels. We arrived at a large oak tree and I began to step carefully. Walking around the tree I discovered the large human sized rabbit hole and keeled down to it when the ground suddenly gave way. Laughing all the way down I took an all to familiar fall down the rabbit hole. After I fell all the way down and hit the roof then the floor I muttered to myself. "They should really put carpet down."Walking over to the circular table I grab the eat me cake the key and then drink the bitter potion and begin to shrink. I unlock the small door, walk through it, eat the cake only to grow to my actual size, and then look around. As soon as I look I see Mallyumkin, McTwisp, Tweedledee, Tweedledum, and the bandersnatch. "Alice you're back!" Mally yelled happily. "I have to go tell Hatter!" With that Mallyumkin scurried off. I let her go until I knew she would be at the tea table and rode there on the bandersnatch. History sure does repeat because when I arrived and got off the bandersnatch Hatter got out of his chair and walked across the table to greet me. I ran over and hugged him. "It's you! I'd know you anywhere!" Hatter said to me with all the joy in the world. "Oh Hatter I've missed you!" I say to him still not out of a hug. "You've no idea." He tells me and pulls away. "We need to get you to the White Queen!" He says and I look up at him. "Why? Have the Red and White Queen started fighting again? Am I in danger?" He laughed and shook his head. "No the sisters are actually quite well the Queen just needs a word with you." I nodded and we got on the bandersnatch and rode to the White Queen's castle. "Alice!" The White Queen says walking up to us gracefully. "I'm so glad you're here. We have another mission for you. The most important one yet." I look at her and ask, "What? she sighs and takes my hands. "We need you to rule Underland." I gasped before she could finish. "And give birth to the next ruler after you. "What!"I gasped once again. She explained that of course she couldn't be Queen forever and had to pass it on and considering she had no child to give it to afterwards she was giving to the girl who's saved Underland more than once. She also tells me that I could not return to Upperland for longer than a visit if I excepted. "Underland has always been like a second home to me I would do anything for it." I said excepting. "Oh thank you Alice! The father of the child has been selected and don't worry it's someone you trust." I turn and look at Hatter usually his emotions would betray him on this. He was the only man I trusted but he just stood looking contently at the white queen. "Who?" I asked her giving her my attention once again. "He's asked to remain anonymous until he's ready to tell you. So the coronation will be in seven days time. You may invite one person from upperland but you'll need someone to go with you." Out of the corner of my eye I see Hatter take a step up text to me. "I'll take her." He says and I smile. "Alright get going then you may go through the looking glass." I decide to invite my sister Margaret. I take Hatter's hand, which makes my heart flutter a little, and lead him through the glass. When we arrive we're in my home, mainly because I got the looking glass from Hamish and I invite my sister over. "Alice!" She says walking over to me and hugging me. "Hi Margaret, listen I wanted to invite you to something." She smiles and asks me what. "To my coronation to be a princess." She nearly choked on her tea as she bombarded me with questions. "Of Wonderland!" I happily say and she sighs. "Has Mother's death made you have delusions again?" She reached to feel my head but I backed away. "Ah so this is why you always thought it was a dream." Hatter said coming out of the kitchen with his tea making my sister once again almost choke on hers. "That's the man you were always babbling about!" Margaret said in shock. After more explanation Margaret finally went with us through the looking glass and we arrived in the white queens castle once again. My sister looked around in amazement as we showed her around. Meeting everyone she was in total shock i'm sure. I wouldn't know though because I was with the Hatter the whole night. It was rather a complete accident. I went over to his house and I started getting cold. When I shivered he look at me and asked if I was cold. I nodded yes and he smiled at me and replied. "Well we can't have the soon to be new princess of Underland be cold now can we." He than proceeded to take off the jacket of his suit and put it on me. He then put his arm around me and started to rub my arm. I was getting so tired and eventually just fell asleep in his arms.
