Oh my God. I'm such a terrible person and I hate myself for forgetting this. I hope you all hate me as well.
Enjoy & Like.
Lucie was stunned. Such a beautiful place was before her. A world she had just imagined in her dreams was now in front of her and hers to explore. A beautiful garden with lots of flowers rich in colors and so tall they almost reached her. A long way was fenced by millions of flowers from all the types and species Lucie didn't even know. Oh, if only her mother was here! Lucie knew her mother would absolutely love this place. They both had always been very fond of gardens, her mother even had Lucie planting her own and first white roses (Lucie's favorite) at home. She gently reached to touch a rose and ran her little fingers through the soft petal.
"What in the world do you think you are doing, little girl?"
Lucie gasped in surprise and quickly backed off, retriving her hand and staring at the flower in awe. Where was she? Back there at home flowers weren't able to talk. The rose that had previously been silent was now moving, as if she was stretching, and through the petals the shape of a face had formed. As this happened, the blonde girl had realized that a chorus of voices had started emitting from the other flowers, as if the voice form the first one had wakened all of them up. The rose turned back to the girl again and using her leaves as her arms, she placed them both in her hips.
"Don't you know it is rude to touch another person youg lady?"
"I am sorry," Lucie apologized shyly, gazing around the place in awe and feeling the gazes of all the other flowers over her. "But from where I come, flowers can be touched. They seem not particularly care at all!"
"And where is it that you come from? "
"A place up! I fell into here, miss."
"And how is it that you got in?"
"Through that door," answered the girl, turning toward said door and pointing at it imperiously.
All the other flowers shrieked and Lucie couldn't help but conclude that something had surprised them. All of them started talking at the exact same time and the girl couldn't understand a single thing they were sayin. It was not until the rose called silence that everyone actually paid attention.
"You said you came through that door?" asked the Tiger-lily.
"Yes, miss."
"So you just simply opened it, child?"
"I did so, miss."
"Well she does remind me of the one that came a few years ago! Isn 't she her? The one that saved us all from the Jabberwocky?" cried a purple tulip moving from side to side.
"She can't be. No one stays this young in forever. Perhaps it was like time was flying back, which I'm sure it's not," mentioned a Daisy, gazing from behind and moving from side to side with excitement.
Once she had talked all the other daisies started talking at the same time and Lucie was not able to understand a thing, besides her voices were so high-pitched that pierced Lucie's ears and she flinched, covering her ears.
"Quiet!" comanded the Rose, and all the Daisies were silent.
Lucie uncovered her ears and frowned a bit, then she stepped closer, deciding she'd start a conversation with all of them. She slowly stared at everyflower and admired them all in the beauty they possesed.
"Do you all really talk?" she asked sweetly.
"Of course we talk! And quite as much, loud and understandable as you can!" said the Tiger-lily, her tone filled with certain indignation."
"Back home flowers don't talk! I still can't believe yo do, really! Why can you speak but the flowers in my garden are not able to talk to me?"
"You touch the ground, child." Lucie did ad she was told. "As you can see it is incredibly hard. Not as soft as the ones you must have up there. When the soil is soft, for flowers it's what a bed is for you, so they sleep through al day. That's why you never see them talking."
Lucie pouted cutely and she sat in the floor, her bottom lip pursed. "I wish my garden could talk, I coud use some company, you know. Danielle is my cousin, but she just visits sometimes. My Momma is really wonderful and beautiful, she also makes me company but she has work at times. And there's Charlotte. She's really sweet. "
"Try a harder soil, perharps it'll work."
"I will!" Lucie asured with a smile.
Alice ran. Not for her, but for the most precious thing she had in her entire life, her sweet little angel. Lucie had gotten really mad and had ran into the woods, not caring about anything behind her, just like she had done a few years ago. She had wanted to go somewhere else where she was able to escape at least a bit of reality. How could've she even thought about accpeting such a mad idea?
Alice stopped and supported herself on a nearby tree to catch her breath. God knows for how long she had been running and how long she had been searching for the Rabbit's hole. She knew Lucie was there, she felt it inside her. But how was she supposed to find the entrance to Underland? Last time she had gotten in, she hadn' t been looking for the whole, much less for falling into it. But she had and appearently it was the best thing that could'v e ever happened to her. She had met everyone in there and had Lucie now. All she wanted was to find Lucie and tell her she had been so stupid, hug her and reassure her everything was going to be alright. She had to get into Underland.
She looked around herself and raised a hand to her cheek. It was hot from the run she'd had and her hair was now just a messy bundle of locks in a desperate try to be pulled back and a few had managed their way into her face. She quickly pulled them back and walked fastly through the woods. The trees were moisty and cold, but when had the temperatur dropped? And then she realized it was getting darker. Must be the night, nights are always this cold, she thought as the icy air started piercing her cheeks. But she couldn't care less. A crow flew just above her head, making their characteristic noise they always did. Alice followed it with her gaze and frowned at the strange behavior of the had caught with her foot and she landed face to the ground with a noisy thump.
She groaned and got in her knees, quickly cleaning her dress and wipping the dirt from her face. She had no time for this. But when she turned to her right she saw it, A big hole just beneath a big tree. The entrance to Underland. But how?
"But just remember, Alice, whenever you want to get back to Wonderland all you need to do is wish for It." The White Queen had said.
"What was your name young girl?" asked a Tiger-lily.
"I never said it. I'm Lucie Kingsley, nice to meet you."
The Daisies starded dancing again from side to side, repeating Lucie's name as if it was the most interesting and fascinating thing in the world with small smiles on their yelow faces. Lucie giggled and though it was funny, while this exasperated the Rose.
"Be quiet! What is your purpose here, Lucie Kingsley from the Upland?"
"I…" she began but realized she had no answer for that. "I don't know. I just fell in."
"Well shall you make your way in to Wonderland and find it out yourself."
"Wonderland," Lucie repeated softly. She could not believe it.
Alice though she one day might end up getting acustomed to this. After all it was the third time she fell into the Rabbit's hole, but the first time she had done it out of pure will and not by accident.
She watched everything as she was upside down, reminding this single place and having everything frash in her memory of the last time she came, but had forgotten one of the most important thing she should've remembered, and that was what came after. She couldn't help but scream when she hit the floor. It hurt just as she remembered. Standing up, she decidedly walked directly to the small, glass bottle and drank of it, not even bothering to read the tag.
Whyyyyyy? Oh God I am going to kill myself, who else agrees? Hope you have enjoyed it and expect to listen from me very soon!
With all my pure and sincere love,
