Open | Alice x ____

The woman had gotten out of work and changed into her usual sweater and jeans. The sleeves of course were much too long, but they hid the fact that she bit her nails and sometimes even the skin nearby. Scabs and scars littered her arms and hands; all were the effect of who she was. Alice’s hair was of course in the way and fluffy. She looked almost like an organized mess.

As she walked down the street her most common companion, the Cheshire Cat, began to walk alongside her. Say Alice, how about we go do something today? Alice closed her eyes and mumbled to the cat, “No, every time... we go do something I end up in--” She opened her eyes after it was too late and she found herself on the ground. “I--” She clutched at the hem of her sweater in embarrassment. Maybe some other day, Alice. Curse that cat... Alice stood and bowed deeply towards the other. “Sorry...”

Alice hid behind her hair, her hands folded together  as she avoided eye contact with anyone and everyone. It was her first time on a bus because her car broke down and was getting fixed. The shy girl felt very out of place, and she let out a yelp went someone behind her had grabbed her butt. She turned but kept her eyes low. “Please... Don’t do that... Again...” Her words were weak and as the creepy man got even closer, all she could do was wish that her stop was coming up or that someone would come to her rescue.

Alice wasn’t really sure what she was doing here, out in public; she didn’t like it, especially since these were the times that the Mad Hatter or Cheshire cat chose to mess with her and have her cause a scene, yet here she was sitting on a park bench in the center of the most busiest area of the park. There was something nostalgic about this though. Perhaps it was the feeling of being in a park, a place she hadn’t bothered going to since before the fire that caused her family’s demise. 

The sun was spread across her face and she closed her eyes to the warm feeling. It was nice--at least, it was until the Cheshire cat decided to ruin it by opening his big mouth. Enjoying the outdoors, eh Alice? How long has it been since you’ve been out? Alice scrunched her face in annoyance and opened her eyes to look into the blue orbs of the cat. “Leave me alone, I’m trying to be peaceful,” she muttered to him, hoping no one could hear her.

It wasn't usual for Alice to go outside her house or the daycare, but necessity said she had to. She was running low on groceries and laundry detergent, so she decided to make a quick trip to the grocery store. As usual, her world was mixed together with reality, the Cheshire Cat appearing to give her riddles and taunts to try and get her to stray off her path. Years of this had numbed her to him and she focused on the task at hand. Once she had gotten what she needed she made her way back. The cat had lost interest in her and finally disappeared, leaving her to her own thoughts. She was waiting at a crosswalk when she noticed a small child beginning to cross as a string of cars were headed their way. It happened in slow motion as she dropped her bags and reached for the child, pulling him in to her right before the car made impact. Time began to move again and she uncurled herself to check the child. He began crying and instinctively Alice cooed and pet his hair. "Where's your parents young one?" She stood and noticed a male approaching her, and she assumed that he was the father. Immediately she turned inward to her shell at the thought of having to speak to another person, holding the child's hand and tilting her head down to her feet.

"You.... Must be.... The father...." she managed to mutter out.
