Snippet #2365

"There are a lot of things I don't remember from my childhood. My first day of school, my first favorite book, or even my first doll. I can't remember any of those things. But, I do remember him. The man who always wore a top hat. The man who saved me from the Queen and the rest of the weird place I managed to fall into. Sadly, I can't remember his name or much else about him. Just his brown eyes staring at me with a look I never did understand and then his top hat.
But its been 9 years since that all happened and now I am 21. I'm old enough to smoke and drink and be on my own. Yet something has kept me here with my family. Trust me, its not because I like them, because i don't! A few people said its because I'm scared of moving out but, who knows.
I have a boyfriend. His name is Travis. He is nice....sometimes. But before I tell you about him, I should tell you who I am.
My name is Alice Stariex. Like I said, I'm 21 and still live at home. I have a job though and many hobbies. I work as a waitress most the time but other times I cook. I don't like cooking. I'm not that good at it. When I'm not working and not being yelled at by Travis or my Mom, then I get to go to ballet practice. Its really nice. The teacher is super nice and she really helps me out when I need it.
Anyways, I guess its time to end this entry. So maybe I will write again tomorrow. This site seems really cool."

Alice smiled as she hit the send button and the message was sent as a blog on Ijournal.com. She never really liked writing about herself but for some odd reason, she thought it would be a good idea. Its not like a lot went on in her life, but something in her told her to start writing, so she did.
It was late, around 1 in the morning but she wasn't really tired. Her day had been full of boredom but somehow she wasn't tired. Insomnia? It was possible. Moving her laptop off her lap and onto the best beside her bed, Alice jumped to her feet just in time to hear her house phone ring. She ran across the room to get it. "Hello?" she asked then heard the screaming of her father. He also picked up the phone, just as she did.
"Alice?" A young man asked who would be recognized as Travis.
She sighed then hit the palm of her hand against her head. "Yeah?" she asked, still listening to her father scream.
"I just wanted to say I-" his words were cut off by the phone being snatched from her hands.
"I don't know what the Hell that boy was thinking but thats it!" her father screamed then grabbed her black hair and pushed her. Her head his her mirror in against her wall. Slowly blood seeped out and down her head to her neck. She started to cry but things blacked out. 'Hatter'

Alice opened her eyes and screamed. The first thing she saw was the stars, shining as bright as ever. Her heart slowed down to a more natural pace as she laid there. Her hand slowly moved to the side of her head. She was still bleeding a little but not as much. Only then did it occur to her that she wasn't in her room like she was supposed to be. Slowly, she got to her feet and looked around. She was in some sort of forest. 'Did he try to kill me?' she wondered then turned all around. The only thing in site was trees and darkness. It was still night at least.
