White Rabbit

Raivyn Chase is an outcast. His family disowned him & he lives in secret, under the streets of London with other outcasts. Raivyn is playing at a concert when he notices a black rabbit & chases it

(Listen to the song: White Rabbit by Egypt Central for this piece)

 

My life was normal. Well... Maybe not normal, I can't even say it was a good life. My parents were divorced and my sister was never home. No one at school liked me except for my friends who I am in a band with. We play in an old abandoned train station every Friday night. Our fans are people who are social outcasts too. It's good to know we aren't the only ones in our town like this. We play music in genres like Black Veil Brides, My Chemical Romance, and Skillet.

  I was playing with my band at our concert one night when I saw this white rabbit. I ignored it, thinking it was my imagination. But every time I looked it was still there. It's red eyes piercing into me. After the concert I ran off stage, my band members calling after me, asking if I was alright. I found the rabbit and had the urge to follow it, like it would lead me somewhere special. I was running for about fifteen minutes before my foot hit a tree root and I fell. I fell down a... sink hole? I thought I was going to die. I thought it was the end. The pit seemed endless until it suddenly lit up and there were broken furniture pieces every where. Shards of glass and scraps of paper. I could see the bottom and when I thought I was going to die from a huge impact, I suddenly stopped and floated to the ground, landing on my feet. The rabbit sat there at the end of the hall, once it saw me it hopped away. I looked up and could see the sky. No way out of here. So I followed the rabbit. The rabbit disappeared after awhile and I found myself outside, but in another place. Here, flowers where giants and mushrooms the size of a house. I walked down the dirt pathway until I saw something in the distance. I stared hard for a moment before noticing it was a girl running. She had black hair and a blue dress. Behind her were soldiers, but not any soldier, these ones looked like cards with arms, legs, and a head. They were holding swords and chasing her. I ran forwards, thinking she may need help, but before I could, she turned around and whipped out a knife. She sliced the cards-men up into ribbons. The girl stands up straight and turns to me.

    " Your here." She says, pushing a strand of hair out of her face.

   " Ummm... Yeah... Where is 'here' exactly?" I ask

   She smiles. " That's right, your a foreign here. This, is Wonderland. Or what's left of it that is." She tells me

   " Wonderland? Okay, so why am I here?" Most people would freak out and say it's just a dream, but now, after my crazy life, nothing surprised me.

   " She summoned you. The other me. The evil me."

   I just stare at her. An evil her? Like, a clone? This place could be called Crazyland. " So why am I here?" I repeat.

   " She wants you for your powers to take over Wonderland. But I won't let that happen." She explains like it's common sense.

   I sit down on a flower. " I wouldn't sit there if I were you." She says with a little smirk.

   " Why not-" I'm about to ask but the flower begins to move. I'm dumped off and scramble backwards. The petals open up and the pollen middle thingie has a face! " Holy s***! What is that!?!?"

   " A daisy, a human like daisy. Anyways, your powers will be used for good. To save wonderland." She replies boredly

   " What powers!? What's going on!?" Now I was just getting annoyed.

   She huffs, " I'm Alice Liddell by the way. What is your name?" She asks

   " Raivyn Chase...." I mutter

   Alice smiles. " Well Raivyn. Come with me, I shall explain everything to you."
