Twisted Fairytale

The first thing I saw was a hue where I could choose from a wide variety of fairy tale characters. But there was a catch. There were only girls available.

Among the list was Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, and Alice. I chose Alice. I always liked reading Alice in Wonderland.

I clicked join, and before I knew it, I was inside the rabbit hole in Alice's body. I had a medium-sized blonde hair that reached my shoulders, sapphire-blue eyes, dressed in a long blue dress that was a little bit above my feet. And looked like a 16-year-old girl, including the extras.

I saw a shimmer coming from the end of that dark tunnel. I crouched for what it felt like hours scratching through the dirt and heading towards the light. Once I was out, I found myself in a forest with trees way taller than me as well as giant mushrooms and a melancholy music playing from afar. I walked towards that noise and found a middle-aged guy with white hair, dressed kinda like a butler, with a pocket watch on his right hand and a monocle on his pocket. There was also what looked like an 18-year-old boy sitting at a large table across from where I was standing where I a unique looking hat, dressed in fashionable clothes as if he were his own clothing designer and he was playing cards by himself.

"What will it be? Spades or Hearts?" He said as he giggled.

"You should really concern yourself on making the dress you promised the Queen, not playing cards by yourself Ted." Informed the Butler guy.

"You're right! I forgot."

"Goo-"

"Come sit and play with me. Four is way better than two."

Four? What? There was only the butler guy, him, and I at that area though.

"Um, hello? Might I ask if you know where this is?" I asked trying to get information.

"Oh, hello there, Cutie pie, I've Never seen you before. My name is Ted Martah. This is Magnus."

"Nice to meet you, my name is…"

Alice… Alice… ALICE…. I can only think about the name Alice … wait, I'm from England. The Queen is Queen Victoria, is there anything else? I keep having a feeling as if I had some sort of mission or something to do…

"Alice, my name is Alice."

 "Nice to meet you two. Want to play with us?"

I sat next to Ted facing Magnus.

"This game is called Thrones against Omens. It's a strategy roleplaying game. You are the ruler of your country, and you need to find ways to keep your citizens happy but there are omens and other nations trying to take away their happiness and your territory."

It was an interesting game. We played for hours; the sun had already fallen asleep.

I heard a faint laughter coming from the shadows. It sounded like there were two children lurking in the dark watching my every move. Kinda creepy to be honest. That chilly sensation of insecurity and fear that awaits in every corner. Sometimes I see shadows of two kids from a far. I can't really see their faces, but they wear a hoodie with purple and violet stripes and whenever a shimmer of light hit their faces, I see a hunting smile. A creepy smirk that seems like its thirsty for blood. It gives makes me shiver just to think about it.

I tried getting some sleep, but I still felt like I was being watched from those creeps. I started having nightmares even awake. Trying to survive until morning was a mind war.

When the morning came, I found a letter at my feet. I was so scared I had clutched my legs and hidden my head between them while closing my eyes… I grabbed the letter and trying to see who was the one who wrote it.

"The Queen?"
