The Last Alice Of Wonderland Chapter Two (EDITED)

Cynthia got home, and felled up the stairs to her room. She flopped on the bed with a great sigh. She rolled over when she thought of the new book that she got. She quickly got up and did her homework in a flash. Got out her laptop and checked her emails. She still hadn’t gotten one since late November. Cynthia shut her laptop with a snap. She told her self that she didn’t mind not having any friends, but she knew, in her heart that she longed to be seen as a person. She wanted to have friends so she could feel that she belonged. Remembering her book she opened it up to the 1st page. It read;

For the Wonderlanders of time. Of Now and Then.

“Wonderland. Weird. I thought this was a non fiction book.” Cynthia said to herself as she turned the page.

Once upon a time…

“Yep. Fiction!” Cynthia said.

There was the magical land of Wonderland, where Queen Alice ruled. Everyone loved Queen Alice except her evil sister, the Duchess of Hearts, Elisa. One day, Elisa challenged Queen Alice to her throne to combat, and triumphed. Queen Alice was exiled from the palace and was sent into hiding, as Elisa vowed that if she ever saw her again, she would kill her. In the Outskirts of the Wonderland Palace grounds, Alice meets the three Hatters. The Blue Hatter. An intelligent man, who always thought logically, The Green Hatter. A man of performance, who would always lose his belonging, just to find them soon after, and The Red Hatter. A strong man, who would prefer to take problems on independently, but was always fond of music. Alice quickly became friends with all three of the Hatters, despite their differences. 

“Okay. This is a fiction book.” Cynthia smiled. “I wonder why it was in the non-fiction area. It’s about Alice in Wonderland and how she defied the Red Queen.”

Alice lived with the Hatters for months, until Elisa, now known as The Queen of Hearts ordered for Alice to be killed, along with all her friends. Afraid, Alice and the Hatters went to the wise old caterpillar to seek an answer for their problems. The caterpillar gave Alice a potion and told the Hatters to put one of their hairs into it and then Alice should drink it. He told Alice that she would bear three daughters, one for each Hatter, and to find the White Rabbit so that once the children are born, they are to be frozen in time, and only to be unfrozen once the processor dies. Weeks later Alice had three daughters, the first, with shining blue eyes and blonde hair like the Blue Hatter she named Anne. The second had gleaming white hair with one dark and one light green eye, she named Barbra, and the third, with short brown hair like Alice, but stern, fiery eyes like the Red Hatter, she called Cynthia. Alice went to the white rabbit and froze each child in time and hid each one in a different place that only one Hatter knew about. Soon after this had occurred, Alice was captured and was killed by the Red Queen. 

Cynthia was shocked. This never happened in the original stories. She thought. By now Cynthia was buried into the book, wanting to know what was about to happen.

The Blue Hatter unfroze his daughter first, but knowing that the Queen would go after him and the other Hatters next, he did the most logical thing. He went back to the caterpillar and asked if there was another world where he could raise his daughter. The Caterpillar told him of a realm he called Overland where there were palaces and rulers aplenty. The Blue Hatter told the Green Hatter of the Overland, but told him not to tell the Red Hatter, as he did not trust him, not knowing that the Red Hatter was standing behind him. The Blue Hatter was mortified, and disappeared without a trace to the Overland. The Green Hatter told the Red Hatter that he was sorry about this misshaping, but the Red Hatter told him that it was not his fault, and as much as he did not want to, he and the Green Hatter must go into the Overland for them and their daughters to survive. Once the Blue Hatter went to the Overland, he unfroze his daughter, Anne, a kindly girl who cared for others and would give up her life for another. For sixteen years, The Blue Hatter taught her how to be the second Alice. 

“Cee? Cee? Dinner ready!” Cynthia mother shouted her nickname, Cee, up the stairs, but she didn’t hear her. She was so caught up in her book. Nothing else mattered.

“Cynthia!” Her mother came into Cynthia room.

“Sorry mum. I was just reading.”

“I can see that. Come on. Your pizza is getting cold.”

“Pizza!” Cynthia jumped up immediately. If there was one thing Cynthia loved more then books, it was pizza.

*        *        *

The smell of cooked, homemade pizza filled the dinning room. Cynthia sat down next to her older brother, John and across from her younger sister Stephaney.

“P-p-ee-za… P-ee-za!” Stephaney clapped her hands and smiled. She had only grown a couple of teeth, but with those teeth she could eat though anything. Cynthia mother came out with pink, frilly oven gloves and placed two pizzas down on the table. The pizzas were huge and toppings cover every square of dough.

“Dig in!” she said as she took off her gloves.

Cynthia reached for a piece of pizza covered with meat and BQQ sauce. As she bit into it, her mouth watered for more, but her mind was on her Wonderland Book. After she had her fifth slice, she got up from the table and put her plate in the sink, run up to her room and shut the door. She sat down on the floor and opened the brown book again and started to read;

Once again, there was the second Wonderland War. Anne in her mother’s place fought bravely against the now old Red Queen, but lost. She was sentenced to prison and was to be killed when her daughter was of age. After another sixteen years, Anne was beheaded. The new Queen wanted to find out what the rest of her kingdom was like, only to find that everyone, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, the White Rabbit, The March Hair, The Door mouse and the Cat had all left for Overland. No one but the caterpillar and the Queen’s Trio of Hearts remained. 

“Overland…I think I’ve heard that before.”

Cynthia read on.

The Queen was furious and went to the Caterpillar to find the answers she needed. The Caterpillar told the New Queen that the subjects had gone to the Overland. The New Queen went quickly to the Overland and was then shocked to see that she would not rule over it.

Cynthia started to feel dizzy. She closed her eyes and shook her head. When she opened them she was standing next to a girl about he age. This girl was talking to another woman with a crown. There was a voice in her head telling Cynthia the story in a deep voice she swore she had heard before.

During this time, Barbra, the second daughter was unfrozen. She was a wild girl who spoke with actions and not words. Barbra meet with the Queen to try and make amends, but the Queen was sly and tricked the girl into telling her the secrets of the Alice Birth and where her subjects were. 

“Stupid, stupid girl.” Cynthia said aloud and she shook her head again, only to find herself in a cave surrounded by many people. Cynthia looked around her and saw a pedestal with the book she was reading before place on top. She tried to walk over to it but it kept moving away from her. She started to run to it, trying her hardest to get there.

The Red Hatter over heard Barbra and the Queen and warned The Green Hatter about it, but did not tell the Blue. The Green Hatter told the Cat, the Mouse, the Rabbit, the hare and Tweedle family. The Queen heard of this and thought Barbra had tricked her and then tossed Barbra down the Rabbit Hole to Wonderland and continued her search for the Hatters and their Allies. She killed the Cat, she killed the mouse. She killed the rabbit and the hare, but could never find the Hatters. The Hatters, Red, Green and Blue who had heard of the plan from the rabbit agreed with the people that they would take only the Overlanders husbands, children and wives from the Wonderlander families and that they would pass down the blood and souls of the first Wonderlanders. Meanwhile, The New Queen was beheading the caught Wonderlanders, the Queen asked them for their last words and she was shocked to hear they all say…

Cynthia got to the book panting and lifted it an turned around to see a graveyard with a head placed in top of every grave stone. She screamed, but no voice came out.

The Third Alice Child is coming and if you are not prepared, you shall perish, and all of your allies will turn against you and your wicked ways. Be prepared Queen. Or die.

Cynthia shut the book closed. Oh my god. That was… frighting. She thought.  She looked around her to see that she was back in her room. There was no gravestones or caves or other people around her. She was just lying down on her floor panting. Was it real? No it can’t be. It was just a dream.

Cynthia stared down at the book again. She picked it up and saw that the pages she just read were blank. Cynthia turned over the page and saw blueprints for a school at the top in bug black ink it said OVERLAND SCHOOL FOR THE GIFTED.

“What? There’s a school called Overland? I thought like earth was Overland. Wait... What am I saying?” she shouted.

Cynthia traced over the blue prints with her finger. She would turn the page back every five minutes to check if the story was still there.

But it never came back.
