Other Characters Have Back Stories Too.

   I felt terrible for leading her along. I knew it wasn’t right but I needed to do it to save my family. I hope she notices me soon because I am on a very tight schedule. I feel like there is always a very important date that I will be late for. There I saw her notice me. “Good Alice, yes, follow me, oh dear, please hurry up” I thought to myself. There for a minute I didn’t think it was going to work but it did. She was behind me, on my trail. I ran fast in a beeline because I can’t have anyone else but her see me.  I went down the rabbit hole and hid in an underground tunnel. I heard her asking where I was. I was breathing heavy but I wasn’t about to expose myself to her. I saw her trip and fall into the rabbit hole. This was all part of the plan that I had to help carry out.

   I as well as some others had been drafted to help the red queen. My special assignment was to bring the girl, name of Alice, to our world and to the queen, who wanted to get to know who this girl was and her intent. I knew that this wouldn’t be good. I knew that I was possibly leading this poor girl to her death, but if I didn’t do it my family and I would suffer. How could I do that to them? And if I had refused on the day I was drafted it would’ve been “Off with his head!” in front of my family, so I went. I hope to find some way out of this mess that is safe for everyone but I’m not sure I will be able to in time.

   I was in the forest, on my way to a tea party with the mad hatter to discuss how to figure this all out when I heard her. She was too far away to hear what she was saying but I knew it was Alice. I still couldn't let her see me. I think she was calling out for me, but I’m not sure. I knew I had to get out of there and fast.  I made sure she wasn't in the way I was headed and I bolted out of there. And to make matters worse I was about to be late.

   I finally got to the mad hatter and sat down. Man, was I out of breath? I needed to lay off the sweet tea and go for unsweetened. I tried to get his attention but he was talking to the mouse too much about unbirthdays and how great they were. Did he know how much time he was wasting? I tried to get his attention and found my efforts to be of no use so I decided I would call it a day and talk to him tomorrow. And so off I went on my way home.
