Madness In Wonderland

Chapter Two: Wouldn't it be lovely?

I gasped twisting around than it stopped, everything moved slow. I looked down than noticed I was upside down. My clothes slowly started to change and my skin began to turn into a paler shade. My dress was turning into a navy blue colored dress with short puffy sleeves, a fanned-out skirt that was cut to about mid-leg, and a butterfly stick on the white bow and ribbon. There was simple white apron over the dress, black-and-white stockings underneath, and my leather shoes turned into black knee-high boots secured with silver buckles. And strange pocket holes with weird symbols on them. 

I gasped realising my hands were turning into small butterflies that were slowly taking cover my body. I screamed trying to shake them off. The blue butterflies took over my face as a tear fell down my cheek.

I opened my eyes to see the butterflies had disappeared but I was floating slightly? I looked around and saw a beautiful place, there was a beautiful purple lake and houses and a castle. Oh, the castle was so beautiful.

I gently fell to the ground, I looked around cheerfully when I saw a cat, It was skinny and had a very large and similar smile to something. It had decaying dark black fur and had a very large head with a small body. I stared at the cat when it purred slightly walking over to me, "Alice~ I seem you like your sanity, it's not going to last" the cat talked to me as I looked around. "I saw so many things! Like a large book! And a dollhouse, and a castle! And a lake! With game cards and toy blocks!" I exclaimed happily when the cat pursed it's lips, " Alice, you've already been here before. But, suppose you forgot?"

I stared at him raising an eyebrow, "Cheshire Cat?" I asked randomly, my sister had a pet toy named that before. It gave the same devilish grin as before, "Ah, that was only one of my forms Alice," it started licking its paws, "we have many forms here"

I raised an eyebrow as he started to walk, "Come along, dear , you have a tea party to get to-" but he stopped suddenly. 

"What's the matt-"

"Sh!"

I stared at him curious as his tail stood up, he crawled over to a nearby bush and tackled whatever was inside, it was a small card man, "what the! Don't kill it in front of me!" I gasped covering my eyes as the cat devoured the poor cardman. "Again, Alice, you used to hunt with me- did they really change you?" The cat asked shifting slightly as it started to disappear slowly, first his feet, than his torso, than his tail, lastly his very wide grin. I sighed hugging myself a little as I saw a dark purple liquid fountain, I shrugged and placed my palm on the purply bubbly liquid as I tasted it.

"My! It taste like lemon-" I started to grow shorter, "and pumpkin cake!" I squeaked as I noticed I was only three inches high. The cat appeared again laughing.

"W-what's so funny!" I puffed crossing my arms frustrated.

The cat crackled than "got down to my level" looking at me with stern eyes. "Think Alice, when you want to become small imagine yourself growing bigger, but if you want to grow well-" he motioned on how tall and large he looked from my new hight. I nodded and closed my eyes a bit confused why it was the opposite but shrugged, I thought of growing taller and arriving at the tea party. The only thing that worked was me growing taller, but on the other hand? I was in the middle of the woods when I heard singing. The small cat appeared out of nowhere and started running to the music, "little kitten? Little kitten, wait!" I yelled running off to the small cat when it disappeared again. When I saw a small paper, I picked it up when immediately I fainted.

°~~~~~°

"You lazy bones! Give me that?" I was crying? Why was I crying? I felt a sharp pain in my head and screamed when I saw a mirror, I looked at it with my mouth hung open.

My hair was gone, shaved off. There were dark tear stains around my used to be plump cheeks, I was in a machine that was trying to drill a hole in my head.

" Calm down, Alice! The pain will be gone. Just. Like. That-"

~~~

I gasped looking around as I felt something on me, I looked down and noticed I had a coat on my lap that most efficiently didn't belong to me. I peered around when I saw a young man, he had dark red curly hair and hazel blue eyes, he was holding a book in his hand drinking tea. I rubbed my eyes standing up as I noticed his very large, almost five feet tall green colored hat. "Ah! Your awake, good!" He stood up closing his book as he walked over to me.

"Where am I?" I asked walking towards him as I watched him drink his tea adding a spoon of sugar and spice, with everything nice. 

"Well, I was at my tea party when I heard a damsel in distress-" he paused staring at me with a serious tone he added, "most people here would have tapped your coff off, but luckily, I am not one of those people..." His voice trailed off slightly as if he was trying to remember what he was saying.

"You mean rape me?"

"We don't use that word here, triggers memories" he pointed to his head laughing slightly as he set his tea down.

"Well, who are you? And where am I?" I asked grabbing a tea cup when he grabbed my wrist, "I wouldn't do that" he mumbled, until he noticed he was gripping onto my wrist, "o-oh pardon! I'm Mad, or what my friends call me, the Mad Hatter! I make the deals, I sell and buy- but mostly have tea parties" he exclaimed happily with passion in his eyes. He looked at his watch and then glanced at me, "well, I have a tea party to tend up, would you mind if you help an old chap?" He asked taking his hat off.

I smiled a little as I helped Mr. Hatter put tea cups and cookies on little plates, "Mr. Hatter, I have a question" I asked randomly as I dusted my skirt. Mr. Hatter nodded waiting for my answer, " Why is it everyone here is mad? Or at least  everyone here asks why I don't remember things- I just simply don't understand!" I exclaimed sitting down on one of the chairs. Mr. Hatter was silent for a while but pulled out a chair and sat beside me. "Well, would you rather be mad than sane?" He stated carefully.

I shook my head, but once again I was confused, "Mr. Hatter? Where are the guests?" I implied grabbing onto one of the tea cups when he stopped me by grabbing onto my wrist,again.

"I wouldn't drink that" he repeated again.

"Why not!" I noted.

He paused for a second, "one of these have p-poison, but you should be used to my mishaps" he finished when he showed me a similar grin everyone gives me, "but really, you should wake up- I'll talk to you later,Alice" and with that I noticed the blue butterflies started to came back, they were circling around me blinding me from seeing anything, "Mr. Hatter! Mr. Hatter!" I yelled covering my eyes when everything went black.

When are we going to tell her?

we are all mad here- but mostly you

"Wake up!"

Wake up.

Wake up-
