The New Alice
Lilith tilted her head as she neared the rabbit hole at the bottom of the tree. She hadn't remembered seeing one in her backyard before, let alone one this big. She knelt down and placed a hand on either side, leaning forward to look in. The hole seemed to go on forever. It was also unnaturally dark, like it was trying to hide something from her. What she swore was a glint of light caused her to lean too far forward to see. Her hands slipped and she fell into the bottomless whole.
After what felt like an eternity of falling, she found herself landing on a large flower. Shaking her head, she quickly scrambled off it and looked around. The world was like out of a dream; Twisting tall trees lined a path, colorful flowers dotted the ground along with mushrooms and toadstools. Brushing off her blue dress, she decided to follow the path. Seeing as she fell from the sky, there was no way back up. Perhaps she hit her head and was dreaming?
With a few steps, she found an out of place looking tea table. Approaching it, she scanned the various cakes and treats scattered about the tablecloth. A clearing of the throat behind her stopped her hand from grabbing a delicious looking cupcake. She whipped around and was faced with a tall, blue haired man with white rabbit ears. He offered a smile to her before taking a pocket watch out of his waistcoat. He examined it before putting it back.
"My, my. Late as ever, Alice." He said with a tsk.
"Alice? My name isn't Alice-"
"Well you certainly look like one." He spun on his heels and started down the path again. She blinked at him before quickly following. She looked around as she attempted to keep up.
"What is this place? Am I having a fever dream?"
"I would hope not. I enjoy being a living thing. We call this place Underland, but Alice's prefer to call it 'Wonderland' for some odd reason."
"I'm going to suppose it's because this place is a wonder?"
"On the nose."
"So why am I here? How did I get here?"
He shrugged as he stopped at a diverging path. Two arrows pointed in either direction in a language Lilith couldn't read. She looked down both paths, one looking slightly rougher than that other. The rabbit heaved a sigh as he leaned against the sign. "My better judgement tells me to allow you to follow me to my side of Underland. But the one that Alices’ seek has moved sides. I cannot advise you on your decision of which way to walk. But, I will say one is much better than the other."
Her face contorted in confusion. "'The one Alice's seek'? But I'm not an Alice. My name is Lilith."
He offered her a shrug. "You sure look like Alice. Only they fall from the sky."
"This is crazy-"
"Perhaps. But make your choice quickly. Night comes and I would not take bets on the Jabberwocky being kind." He smiled at her before going down the right side path. She watched him for a few moments until he disappeared from sight. She looked at the sign again and sighed.
what is even happening?
She grabbed a rock with moss on one side. "Okay. Clean, left. Moss, right." She closed her eyes before tossing the rock in the air. She didn't open them until she heard it hit the ground. Peaking with one eye, she saw the clean side of the rock. With slump shoulders, she kicked the rock aside and ventured down the left.
