Behind Sanity
American McGee's Alice fanfiction - After ten long years, Alice is finally able to leave Rutledge's Asylum, but with no memory of why she was originally admitted. All she remembers is the fire that killed her parents, and she has put it behind her. She has dealt with that, convinced she is sane. Alice goes home with her hopeful sister, Wendy, ready to embrace the life that she has missed so much of - but despite what she might have forgotten, Wonderland simply will not let her go. Wonderland has been disregarded, but once it begins to resurface in Alice's mind, she cannot escape it. A new doctor wants her to remember; her sister's husband suspects that she never forgot. Alice is haunted by visions that she doesn't understand, of white rabbits and smiling cats. She struggles for a sense of normality - to be a good sister and an aunt to her young niece, Morgan - but she can't stop feeling that she is a danger to herself and to others. When Morgan falls into a mysterious coma, Alice must face the horrors of a place she once thought to be only in her mind, and relive the events of the past which forced her to forget.Complete
