I'm Alana. Alice is my mom. Yep that Alice. The one who fell down a rabbit hole. Mom developed an emotional connection to the Mad Hatter and went back for him. They got married, and then I was born. Yep. I'm supposed to do the same thing one day. Dad's descendant lives in wonderland. I'm actually not related to him at all. Magic was involved in his existence.
I am however cousins with Cindy. She's Cinderella's daughter. Cinderella and Prince Charming got divorced. Cindy always blamed herself. Her and I are best friends. We mainly hang out with Grace, Gretel's daughter, and Hudson, Hansle's son. I kinda sorta have a crush on him. I know that I'm not supposed to, but you can't help falling in love sometimes.
Hudson ( I called him Hud) had always got candy with him. He had bronze hair with pale skin, green eyes, a chiseled jaw, and lots of muscles.
Most of the girls at our school would be all over him if he wasn't "weird". His dad ditched him as a kid. Ironically it wasn't because of his story. Grace didn't get dumped with him. She could have stayed with her mom and dad but she went with Hud instead. She was the only family that still loved him.
Grace had blonde hair, blue eyes, a round face, and she was a very wimpy person. She was terrified of candy. Gretel really freaked her out. When she left to help Hud she didn't bring him back to the house. Instead they ran away together. They sleep at my house in my room. Every other room in the house is just...just...just mad.
Cindy had long flowing dirty blonde hair, she had hetrochromia so one of her eyes was brown and one was blue, she looked highly fragile. When her parents got divorced she fell into a state of major depression. It's sad. I'm not the happiest either and Grace and Hud are worse than me, but I've never seen someone as bad as Cindy. She try's so hard to be "perfect" she just can't see that she's perfect to us. Her dad shuts her out. So she hates herself.
Me. I had short edgy blonde hair that fell over the right side of my face, I had hetrochromia too. One of my eyes is green and the other is blue. It's a mutation. Technically speaking it makes you a mutant, but let's leave those titles to people with two noses or something. I was the one in the group that was rock hard. No one touched my friends as long as I was around. Hud and I both work in that department. I'm stronger than him though.
We're considered the weirdos of our school. Everyone els was normal. Their parents were still together or still loved them. All of us have something that made us the way we are. I could never have a good solid conversation with Dad. Go figures. Cindy hates herself, and Grace and Hud don't have their parents any more. We're juniors in high school.
One night I had everyone over to spend the night. We were playing truth or dare.
"Alana, truth or dare?" Hud asked.
"Um...truth." I decided.
"Do you have a crush on someone?" Hud asked. I started blushing.
"Maybe."
"Who?"
"Someone you know." I wasn't wrong. Hud knew himself better than anyone.
"Who?" I blushed and buried my face in my hands.
"You." I uncovered my face. Cindy and Grace were shocked. Hud was smiling pleased. My face was bright red. He stood up and walked over to me then just sat down next to me.
"Truth or dare?" Cindy asked him.
"Truth." He said.
"You have a crush on someone in this room."
"Yes."
"Who." He turned and looked at me.
"You." He pulled a candy rose out of his pocket and handed it to me. I stared at it in aww then kissed Hud on the cheek.
"Alright enough with the mushy stuff lets get to bed." Grace said.
With all of them there we didn't have enough blankets. I opened the doors to the hallway closet to get another blanket. When I opened the door there was a land made of candy. Wonder land stuff. I let Cindy have the bed. Since we were one blanket short, I didn't have one.
I guess my teeth chattering woke Hud up in the middle of the night. He tapped me on the shoulder so I rolled over to face him.
"You cold?" He whispered.
"Little bit." I shivered. His lifted up his blanket signaling me to share it with him. I scooted closer to him until we were squished together on the floor. I curled my self up in a ball and memorized how warm he was. I fell asleep soon after I warmed up.
When I woke up in the morning. Hud had his arms wrapped around me and was sleeping peacefully. I slowly crawled out of his embrace. I opened the door to go into the livening room, but when I opened the door I found a jungle instead. I just simply closed the door and turned around.
I was stunned to see that Hud was no longer on the floor. Instead he was sitting on my small worn out couch.
"You're pretty quiet." I said as a sat down with him.
"You have to be to survive witches."
"Yeah I suppose so. When did you wake up?"
"When you left me."
"Oh. Sleep well?"
"Yes actually. For the first time scene I was little, I didn't have a nightmare." Hud saw a witch when he was thrown out. It started running towards him, and if Grace hadn't pulled him away and into the village, he would have been captured. Every night since then he had a nightmare about what that witch might have done to him. He's never told anyone but me that. Not even Grace. He told me that last night. When he told me that I kissed him.
"Well I'm glad." I said.
"Me too."
"Maybe I should get cold more often."
"Maybe." He smiled at me handsomely. I just about died. He was so beautiful. He could have any girl in school he wanted and he chose me. Why would he do that?
