A Thousand Worlds Away

Chapter Two

The whispers of chirps of the birds whisking away with the wind that crinkled the trees, I slowly open my eyes and was greeted by the glee of the beaming sun piercing through the dancing trees.

I lift myself back up, the scent of red roses that served as my pillow amused my strength to sit back up and wander my eyes, "Where am I..?" I groaned to myself, admiring the dark shaded pigment trees.

Wait...colored trees!?

My eyes aroused as I rub them, I yanked myself back up shuddering from amazement while walking up to a color blue tree dazzling with purple leaves. I gently touch the blue oak, just a normal textured wood to my relief, but..

I slowly wander my gaze down to my body...

"No no this can't be..." I said in denial, sliding my fingers on my Victorian blue dress while shuddering in disbelief. "A-Alice!? How!?" I twirl around, sliding my fingers on my now shoulder-length blonde hair.

"Impossible! How did I? How— this has to be a dream I swear!" I stomped my doll shoes fashioned with long socks, I scramble my dreamy golden long locks hair shedding a tear from infuriation. I take a deep breath, taking a moment to calm down.

"Alright alright, Leah, calm down. Always remember that there's nothing to freak about these things, pinching could do the trick!." I assured myself, sliding my hands to my shoulder and..

Ow!

Well, that didn't work..

Oh God oh God, what am I going to do!? Of course, it doesn't work, I'm Alice! I-I don't even know how I got here and—

A rustling tune from the bushes suddenly welcomes a white rabbit sniffling its snout, its red eyes quite mesmerizing like a pocket watch swinging back and forth as if its..

"Leah.."

"Leah..."

"Leah~"

Calling my name...

The twisted spell suddenly broke off as the rabbit dived through the bushes, I took a step forward, wait a minute..

Think Leah think, if I follow the white rabbit this story won't end for an eternity in my case, hell, I might not even get out of here! The stupidest thing Alice has ever done but—

I gazed back at the bushes, biting my lips anxiously. Even if I don't, how would my story be? What if, wherever am I is instructing me to follow the footsteps of the protagonist? I ease out a sigh of impatience, my feet working its way faster than I could even work my brain. I dove through the bushes that suddenly grew like tall grass, my hands shoving them out of my way as I panted heavily.

The white rabbit raced against me like how it's told, but not this time! I suddenly reach out my hand, so close to grabbing its fur. Nearly there!

All hope was taken away like the heavy whiff tugging me to the edge of the cliff testing my balance. My eyes snapped in fear, tiptoeing my weight aside, I gaze back at the long grass that I previously chased the rabbit in, and there it is...

Like a predator watching its prey, the rabbit snouted and dives back in its sinister world.

"AHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I fell backwards off the cliff, the wind really hates me huh!?

I closed my eyes accepting my leap of fate, oh I sure hope it's one of those falling dreams or else I'll probably have died for A piece of homework!

A strong force suddenly yanked me back up again and there I rest on something...soft and muscular? The impact of the crash wasn't bad after all or did I just fall on a pile of flowers again? Gravity is weird in Wonderland..
