Wonderland

Feeling helpless and sadder than ever before, Alice started wandering around lost, and on the other side of the mirror. Until her friends found her, to bring her back to their grid, or quarters, of the dark world, Alice was now a resident of, since her parents passing. Alice never knew about the dark world's different areas until now, and it depends on who you ask, about the different areas of the world behind the mirror. The evil part of the dark world was something Alice knew nothing about, after all she would just pop behind the mirror to see her friends, then pop back, but now this is her home.

The dark world behind the mirror is now Alice's home, when she first arrived permanently, Alice began roaming around, and with the queen all up in her business, following her around, curious as to what Alice was up to. Fortunately for Alice, since she wandered a little to far off the path and luckily the queen was there to guide her back to where she belonged and no one had to lose their head that day. Since discovering there is other parts of this world, other than the table and queen's quarters, when it was just an escape for Alice, who had no friends on the other side of the mirror, except for her parents.

Eager to find and see different things, she also ate anything that, gave her some kind of alternate good feeling, a break from her own mind. She found the perfect desert to bring her back to happiness, these berries she found, and now decided that would be her anti-depression antidote. She was on her way to search for more, and bring extra back with her.

Her now life guide and coach, the Mad Hatter of all people, told her, "Alice, before you go on this adventure, he got serious, something that Alice has never seen from the Mad Hatter, he comes face to face with her and said, if you don't know where you are, don't get lost at sea again. Stop and look around for this creature called, the Barn Owl." In the world on the other side of the mirror, the one Alice is used to, one can barley notice a Barn Owl, but down here, that Owl, like others, shined like a light, and guiding good souls to safety. As the Mad Hatter continues to explain to Alice the things she may see if she decided to explore past the grid they all stayed on, he leans in closer and says, "have fun exploring, but if you see the Elf Owl, you stop dead in your tracks, because you have gone to far and need to turn around immediately, look for the Barn Owl, and if you don't Alice, you will be stuck in Elf Land. The worst of the worst of the different sides of the dark world, the residences there just wander around like brainless zombie's, with no purpose and no where else to go, besides the circle they all walk in all day, every day."

The Mad Hatter continues on, "The other areas are very easy to recognize, but Elf land, shows you people you trust, but they aren't really us, it's an illusion to trick you into walking onto their part of the dark world, where they will keep you." Living like they do has made them dark and mean, in this place that should be bright everywhere anyone goes. The Mad Hatter being there himself once, knew how horrible it was, and doesn't want anyone he knows, friend or foe to have to experience something like he did.

Everyone goes in with a brain and soon after they are angry, and brain dead, seeking a brain for their useless wondering body to use only to cause chaos and mayhem, around the whole world behind the mirror. That's the meaning of the Elf Owl, down in the dark world. A place Alice has known, but never seen a bad side of it. If the illusion of yourself, "Alice of the Elf Owl land spots you, she will take your life from you. Leaving you fully capable brained Alice, in a place you will never be able to be yourself again, and berries don't exist there, or at least the ones you are looking for Alice. You will wonder in a circle, a rat wheel, until either you become numbed brain or the Rabbit realizes the wrong Alice is in their grid, and that is when a rescuing party is constructed, quickly, and timely since time is of the essence more in that area, than any other.

"Don't wonder off too far" says The Caterpillar, "I have met Elf Alice before and she sucks the joy and happiness from everyone she encounters, whether she takes your brain or not, you will walk away feeling drained of everything in you, so please Alice, he pleas, don't go too far, but if you do, don't forget to look up for the Barn Owl, he will guide you home." Be safe and happy travels the gang around the rectangle table says to Alice as they start just one of many tea parties they have daily. She hugs each one goodbye, and says, "I'll see you soon." Deep down she's hoping that she will be back in a jiffy, after all she is just looking for a certain kind of common berry.

Off into Wonderland Alice goes, walking for 10 min in each direction, to see which direction she wants to go, she decides south is the direction she's going. As she heads that way, she says hello to all the creatures of the world, she looks up and happens to see a Barn Owl, shining, well must be on the right path, she thought to herself. Looking deeper into the southern part of the world outside the mirror, for those berries that make her better, and helps her cope with the pain she can't forget.

Ever since she lost the only reason she would travel from the dark world and back through the mirror, Alice hasn't been herself, her friends even notice and try to help, but sometimes she needs something else in her now new life. Since her mother and father died in a car crash, ever since she hasn't felt their presence, Alice is sad.

Alice has been living in her happy wonderland world, avoiding the daily pain. She did grieve properly, but it will never take away the pain. Alice's home is in this dark world now and is apparently a place many want to live, but won't do what it takes to go their, let alone become a permanent resident. She doesn't understand why it's so enticing to anyone besides her, since it's created for each person, maybe it's all the laughter and tea party's daily.

Since every area has the same opportunity to make the theme how they want. Elf Owl is the only land that decided to be miserable, instead of making their part of the world an enticing place to be, they were never satisfied, and always wanted more, that is why they are now brainless and wondering. The ruler of the dark world had enough of the ruckus Elf Owl land caused all the time, the ruler ended up stopping them, and their mayhem, so now all they can do is wander around, unless someone wanders in there.

Thinking that maybe Alice went the wrong way, she starts to look around, then suddenly the berries are in sight. As she dashes to them, happily, and hoping that there isn't an Elf Owl in between her and those berries, she turns a corner and goes deeper into the direction of those berries, that she no longer sees. Where did they go, she thinks to herself?

Suddenly Alice get's startled when the forever late Rabbit passed her, quickly. Although it shook her up, she knew she wasn't close to the Elf's grid at least, since he was running around, she was happy to know that. She went in deeper, and there they were, she knew she seen them, it was as if a light was shining down on this bush full of berries. She made her way to the them, gobbled up a couple and then gathered as much as she could, before heading back. Since she didn't want to wander into anyone else's world. She's happy being her, unlike many of the other parts of the dark world, is what shes told. Although being herself does constantly hurt now, since she's on her own, other than the dark side family she has. She just hurts constantly without her parents presence in the world, and who wants to hurt every waking moment of every day? Nobody is who, as she gathers up her berries, she sees the Barn Owl and it leads her back home, where she is eager to learn more about the different grids of the dark world behind the mirror.

Relieved to see Alice, and Alice being relieved to see her friends, and excited to join the table for yet another tea party, she wanted to learn from the Mad Hatter, and everyone else about her new world, her new life. She skips happily to her friends, and they are all happy to see her coming towards the table, instead of isolating herself, something Alice does now, she never did it before, and her friends understand. As she sits down, the berries start kicking in and finally a smile is back on Alice's smile-less face that has now sunken in, from the lack of joy and laughter, and the presence of sadness also.

As she looks at the Mad Hatter and everyone around the table she says, "please tell me more about this world behind the mirror that I am now forever a part of now." the Mad Hatter looks at her with one eyebrow up, then pours some tea and they all say, "I thought you would never ask." Then the tea party started, Alice laughing all the way.
