Hey, my first story with Primeval and Syfy's Alice, will follow the mini-series fairly closely, but with a lot of my own changes :) Let me know what you think! xx

"You found it yet?" The small blonde called up to the young man on the top of the hill who was waving a small electronically device around in his hands.

"I think it's this way!" Connor called down the hill to his comrades below as he disappeared behind the hilltop.

"Stay where I can see you!" Becker yelled back, feeling more like a parent than a soldier as he rushed up the hill to chase the eager man-child.

For once, an anomaly hadn't opened up in the crowded down town streets of London or the Forest of Dean. Instead it had appeared on a large old estate, several hours out of the city. Cutter had been determined to arrive before any man-eating creatures began to make delicacies of the general public. There had been much persuading, by Jenny, with the owners of the estate, who seemed suspicious of a group of people traipsing around their property looking for an escaped lion from the zoo, when there wasn't a zoo for many miles around. But it only took Jenny a few minutes with her eloquently sharp words to convince them of the threat their security this creature posed if it was left to roam their woods.

Teams had been put into place so that they could cover a wider area over the vast estate. Becker, Connor and Abby were taking the western side of the estate whilst Cutter, Jenny and Sarah had opted for the eastern side. Cutter had chosen the teams, wanting Sarah to help with studying some of the track's he'd noticed. He'd been obsessed lately with trying to connect the ancient creatures with those of mythological beings, trying to fit them all within the anomaly matrix he was creating in his office, and Dr. Sarah Page, the ARC's resident expert on myths and legends was his go to girl at that time. He'd let Connor and Abby run off to search for the anomaly, knowing that they couldn't get into too much trouble under the watchful eye of Captain Becker. Another reason he'd wanted to split up, not wanting the team's new military man telling him how to do his job!

Connor ran towards the direction of the blinking dot on his handheld anomaly detector with glee, he loved it when he was right. Ignoring the cries of protest from Abby and Becker behind him, he pressed forward though the trees until he stopped abruptly; he was right on top of it!

"Congratulations..." Becker slurred sarcastically as he arrived behind Connor, slightly without breathe from running after the crazed palaeontology student through the woods. "You found a tree, in a forest..."

"It should be here! Look!" Connor defended his contraption by shoving it in Becker's face, showing him the blinking red light. Becker immediately slapped it away in annoyance.

"Maybe there's some interference or somethin'?" Abby shrugged as she caught up to them, looking around.

"I don't get it!" Connor sighed, hitting the side of the device in frustration, walking around, waving it up and down to try and see if that helped the signal.

"Look let's just double back and see if the others have found anything," Becker decided, seeing no point in traipsing around in the woods after Connor and his obviously broken device.

Connor sent Becker an annoyed look, walking back under the tree where the detector claimed there was an anomaly. Why was soldier boy always telling him what to do?

"Look it should be – " the end of Connor's sentence was lost as the ground disappeared under his feet.

"CONNOR!" Abby screamed as she watched him fall, but Becker was quick on the mark, reaching out to grab Connor's hand as they both crashed to the ground.

Becker held tightly to the fingerless gloved hand, being the only thing stopping Connor from falling down in to the deep abyss below him.

Abby lay down on the ground next to Becker, sticking her hand down the hole as well for Connor to hold onto.

In the darkness of the abyss, Abby could only just make out Connor's terrified expression. "Somethin' s'pullin' me in!" He cried out as he took hold of Abby's hand.

The pull was certainly apparent as Becker and Abby could feel themselves being pulled into the whole after Connor.

"Hold on!" Abby called down to Connor.

"It's pullin' you in too!" Conner realised in panic, "let go!"

"No," Abby growled in determination, as her whole body was pulled that much further into the whole.

"Not a chance, dino boy," Becker said through clenched teeth, struggling to stop himself from being pulled in, both hands holding onto one of Connor's.

"Let go!" Connor tried again, as he saw that they were both about to fall in after him, but their stubbornness was unyielding. Abby held Connor's hand with one of her own and used the other to try and grip to ground beneath her, which only resulted in several claw marks in the cold dirt.

Suddenly the pull of the abyss grew in strength, catching them by surprise as they all succumbed to the power of the hole and suddenly felt themselves falling further and further into the darkness.

... so end of Chapter 1, chapter 2 will be the beginning of their adventures in wonderland. Sorry no Hatter or Alice 'til Chapter 3 xxx Let me know if alright,
