Welcome to Wonderland
Author's Note: So I said I'd post a story and so lo and behold I have.I have an irrational fear of the story Alice in Wonderland. The Cheshier Cat gave me nightmares when I was little and I never quite got over it. Whenever I see that creepy smile it never fails to sends shivers down my spine in a most unpleasent way.
I decided that to get over my fear once and for all. I would write a story about what happend after Alice left Wonderland for the last time.
This is the first chapter and so it's basically just setting the scene for whats happening.
I'd very much like some reviews or constructive criticism if anyone could manage that. Thanks.

Chapter 1: In which things start to go wrong.
Everybody knows the story of Alice in Wonderland and how she followed the white rabbit down the hole and met all sorts of illogical characters and yes this includes the ever creepy Cheshire Cat. But there are some things you really need to know, some stories that should have been told but were silenced by my way overprotective mother the queen of hearts. Yes, that’s me, the only card figure not to show up in a game of whatever it is your playing. I am the princess of hearts, my name is Libra. I know, it’s ironic. I was named for the constellation of balance, Libra the scales, in a world of utter chaos.
Now from what you know of my mother she is mean, un-just and cruel. Your right in those respects but this is Wonderland; things don’t have to make sense, in fact if they did it wouldn’t be Wonderland, it would just be well, earth. Oh yea, about that. Wonderland is earth, your earth I mean, just a bit......chaotic. Wonderland is all of earth’s impossibilities, dreams and chaos contained in a single realm; things are bound to be a little crazy.
As for how Alice managed to get here, you can thank CC for that, the Cheshire Cat I mean. You see he is the shadow king of wonderland. The queen may have political power but he is the one that has the real power, he is kind of like the core of Wonderland, the most chaotic of them all, if you will. CC is the reason for all the little stupid co-incidences on your earth, you know running over cliffs and that guy who cut his ear off, what was his name? Oh yea, Van Gogh. He met CC and he couldn’t stand all the ‘non-sense’ the cat was spouting off so he shot his ear off. CC isn’t a bad guy just chaotic and a little creepy.
As to the Alice thing I still haven’t figured that out completely. All I’ve got so far is that Alice’s first trip to Wonderland was a mistake. Technically Wonderland residents can’t get out because they are pieces of human chaos and the logic they encounter on earth makes them sick, but somehow everyone’s favourite white rabbit, Tick-tock, managed to get out. Alice seeing his was something even CC hadn’t counted upon (for good reasons Wonderlanders become invisible to the human eye when they leave), Alice following him was another thing entirely and once she was here CC, being who he is, couldn’t help but mess with her until she was at the non-merciful hands of my mother and it was only by pure chance *coughCCcough* that she got out alive.
Her second visit I’m even more confused about. You see the thing about objects leaving Wonderland is that they, unlike the people themselves, don’t deteriorate. The mirror Alice came through was definitely from my world or she wouldn’t have been able to come through the way she did. For people to enter Wonderland form your side there must be a link to Wonderland close and you must have no idea what you’re doing. On her second trip I got a good look at her from the palace grounds and I gotta say she’s like no other human I’ve ever seen here. Most humans don’t make it home because like Wonderlanders get sick out there you get sick in here; all of them have died, except Alice that is. She didn’t even get sick. Her aura was just as chaotic as the rest of us, like she was from here in the first place. In Wonderland she wasn’t out of place, but of course she was or else she would be out of place, this is Wonderland after all, nothing fits logically unless you stand back and look at the whole thing. I was talking to the ‘eight of clubs’ later, after she had made it home for the second time, and from what we could tell she got here because she was bored of reality and happened to be close to the mirror and had transported herself here accidentally on purpose.
Since Alice left weirdly logical things have been seeping into Wonderland. The more logic in here the more illogic out there and that’s not good for either of our worlds, and what’s more no one has seen the Cheshire Cat for weeks. I don’t know what’s going on but everyone seems on edge. People and things are beginning to disappear and some one must find the Cheshire Cat quickly if Wonderland is to survive. I need to do something, anything. I need help, and I need it from the only mortal who I know can give it. I must find Alice.
Wonderland’s fate may rest in the balance.
