Vague mentions of drug use & cigarettes
It was a regular night,the still ink sky dusted with luminescent white dots that many adore..the streets were barren,bits of paper dancing slowly in the cold breeze as streets lights shone with cats & druggies standing near or underneath it's welcoming warmth. People were exiting & entering bars nightclubs & their apartments to spend their night with a loved one or to get a fun time with someone they'll never see again.
The Empathy Error a small cyberpunk music band of three 18 year olds who were almost done with their high school & were trying to get a name in society for money making & fame were strolling the streets looking for another place to lurk in during the nights to get away from their day time troubles & sorrows & to have some drinks or maybe a few cigarettes before old man or street punk tell them to get lost from their newfound hang out spot.
Timmy the band's drummer & the top straight a student in art class was just sitting on an old trash can that was rusted & flipped over while Brittany or Brit who was a major in fashion & also the groups pianist was lighting a cigarette & finally Alice the person who didn't have much achievements to her name other than the fact she was good at playing the guitar thus why she was the band's ' leader ' was plucking random strings on her guitar trying to find the right melody that itched her brain so well it could be turned into a new song for the group's little album.
“ Got anything yet Al? ” Brit asked smoking their cigarette as she & Timmy watched Alice in curiosity.“ Nah but I'm trying.. ” Alice replied continuing to pluck the string on her black guitar. Timmy looked at Alice before sighing “ you don't ever give up do ya? ” Timmy said shaking his head before opening a chocolate bar taking a bite “ At least I'm trying & not jst eating chocolate ” Alice said jokingly but jst then the trio heard a sound..A snap they saw a white rabbit “ Awh! A bunny ” Brittany said throwing their cigarette bud away “ Lets follow it! ” Alice said before Timmy held her shoulder “ Didn't you hear about Alice in wonderland? & what happened when she followed the white rabbit?! ” Timmy said implying that the rabbit might lead them to danger or worst death...he was always the over thinker of the trio..which made the others laugh “ Timmy that's a fucking story bro nothin' is gonna happen! ” Alice said to the boy who was concerned about his peers safety & sanity at this point..but nonetheless he followed the other 2 who were following the white rabbit like little children.
After a few possible minutes of rabbit chasing the Empathy Error stopped at an abandoned library without hesitation or at least a minute of thinking the trio went in the library... Timmy was still a little scared but seeing so much books was amazing so he was a little calm. Alice told the group not to split up so if they were to die they'll die together. Brit spotted a book in front a window...the light from the moon lit sky & stars as they illuminated the area the book was laying on buts of dust danced in the moonlight making the book more alluring...Alice went towards the book Timmy & Brit behind her..she picked up the book “ it looks new..unlike the other's it's as if it was jst put here ” the teen said examining the book. “ I...don't open the book Alice! ” Timmy said...did Alice listen? No she did not & like they say actions have consequences & alice's were..life changing.
Alice open the book dropping it out of fear when the book made a ' whrr ' sound a blue portal opening sucking Alice in the other 2 tried to get the girl out but all efforts went down the drain when Alice got sucked in the book..as if on queue..the 2 kids heard men behind them..“ maybe I shouldn't have tested the drug we seized “ A raspy but young voice said followed by another one who replied “ it's not the drugs jake,I saw it too ” Timmy & Brittany turned around to see 2 police officers.. who suggested the teens follow them...with their friend & hope all lost Timmy & Brittany obeyed.
Alice woke up with a groan..she was laying in fluffy light green grass bits of pink & white falling on her..she sat up & dusted them off to see that they were petals..cherry blossom petals..she saw that there were also bits of red flowers..that looked like lilies..she saw that there were large cherry blossom trees around here sheltering her from the heat of the sun..that was centered amongst baby pink clouds in the orange & magenta sky,reflecting on the lake which was sprinkled with duck weeds & water lilies & other water life critters..she sat the strange yet peaceful silence trying to think about what just happened when suddenly she heard someone speak in a soft yet raspy tone..alongside an Italian accent .“ Luckily you didn't fall into the lake..it would've been such a shame for a new guest to die instantly ” the voice spoke.
Alice looked up to see a cat..purple with strokes of white on it's fur adorned with a black collar with a gold bow hanging from it a matching bell..“ what..are you? ” Alice asked in curiosity while wondering if she's lost her mind..“ oh me? I'm the Cheshire Cat ” said the creature.. before giving off a soft purple glow..now what stood in front of the girl was a tall man..dressed in black clothing..he had messy,long & unruly white hair which edges were purple & covered it's face..he also had on the same collar & his tail was robotic & long..he still had the same long cat ears except his right one had a piercing on it.
Alice was shocked to say the least..“ wait wait..isn't the Cheshire cat supposed to be well...a cat ” Alice questioned to which the..cat man responded with “ Reality isn't always what it appears to be my dear,that's basically what Wonderland's about ”
“ Wonderland?! ” Alice shouted when all the pieces could together... Alice was in wonderland..the wonderland.
“ Indeed you're in wonderland.. & I'm the Cheshire cat..but people call me Mr.Cheshire so ya could jst call me that instead ” Mr. Cheshire responded with a smirk as he observed the blonde girl..“ I rather C.C instead ” Alice responded Mr. Cheshire— C.C didn't mind..“ say..since Wonderland's a rather dangerous place for newcomers like you how about you follow me I'll offer you a place to stay. C.C spoke in a tone that was making his offer tempting.. & Alice with little to no knowledge about her surroundings agreed “ Delightful! Follow me my dear ” the man responded before leading Alice towards the place he was implying about...
