  I sat on the ground, puzzled. "Rabbit, what are you talking about?" He responded, "Your parents, they arent your parents. They never were, the Queen of Hear-" "Don't bring this crap up again Rabbit! Wonderland doesn't exist, there's no Queen of Hearts, it's all bullshit! A stupid tale!"

  I heard the door open behind me, I turned around to see a student coming in the bathroom. She stared at me, she was probably wondering why I was sitting on the floor. I quickly turned around, Rabbit of course, ran off somewhere. Great, now she's going to think I'm a freak. I got off the bathroom floor, grabbed my jacket and bag and walked out.

  I walked to my next class quickly, trying to avoid people. Everyone is watching me, I can feel their glares piercing through me. I started running to class, my mind is so overwhelmed. This hasn't happened in so long, it cant be happening again.

 
"Alice, you can't get away."

  My eyes started tearing up, I have to calm down. Not looking where I was going, my body slammed into someone else. I almost fell back but someone caught me. I opened my eyes, it was Mr.James. Tears started pouring out as I gripped onto his shirt and shoved my face into his chest. "Alice, what happened?" I cried and cried, "I was finally normal, and now he's back." "Who?" That's right.... he doesn't know about Rabbit. He know's about my history, but I can't tell him. I quickly wipped the tears from my eyes, "It's nothing, I'm fine." "Are you sure?" Mr.James asked. "Yeah, really. I'm okay now." I flashed a smile, fake of course. "Okay Alice. Well lets get to class okay?"

  We walked down the hallway to class, he opened the door, all the students quickly looked at us. I just quickly walked to my seat and ignored all their glares. I unzipped my bag and took out my sketchbook, I started doodling instantly. I let my emotions and imagination spill onto the page. I could hear Mr.James talking about another art project in the background. Maybe that'll help me keep my mind off of things. I looked up at him so I could show I'm listening. Instead, my eyes widened in fear.

  Rabbit was sitting on a desk in front of me. My heart started pounding and my hands were trembling. "I told you, you can't get away Alice." I wanted to say something, but no words could come out. Theres no way this is happening. "Awww, Cheshire got your tongue?" He let out a laugh. "Stop trying to ignore it, accept the fact that this is happening. Now then, you need to come with me Alice, Wonderland is dying." The room started to get darker. "If not, Wonderland will come to you. So you can come along like a good girl, or you can sit around for the queen to get you." Blood started pouring down the walls and dripping from the ceiling.

  I looked around, my classmates were covered in blood and they didn't even notice. I looked up at Mr.James and my heart dropped, his flesh was rotting and sliding off his bones. Black liquid was foaming and dripping from his mouth, I looked at the rest of the class, everyone was drenched in blood. The class smelled like death, I felt like I was suffocating on the toxic air. They all turned around and looked at me, their eyes were black and their skin started rotting off their faces as well. I closed my eyes, covered my ears, and screamed.

  I opened my eyes, everything was back to normal. The entire class was looking at me. "Alice? Is everything alright?" Mr.James asked. I started crying. I grabbed my things and quickly ran out of the class. I could hear the other students laughing at me. They don't understand, no one does. I fell to the floor and cried hysterically. I dont want to be here anymore. I will go anywhere but here.

  "Go home Alice. I'll see you there and show you the way to Wonderland."

  I wiped my eyes and took a deep breath. I got up and started to head off the campus. Listening to Rabbit, I was heading home. If wonderland is out there somewhere, maybe it could be the right thing for me.
