Just another day. But what made today so different from the rest was that today was another one of the days in which the 'Queen' had a meeting. Not that that in itself was unusual, but the manner of the meeting and who was being met was the unusual thing. For, no one knew who it was that the queen went to go meet. Anyone who stayed around to listen only heard a deep voice speaking with the Ruler of wonderland, and hushed tones so no one could quite understand what was going on.
Leaving all of the followers and courtiers, Teron sighed to himself. What a nuisance some of them were. All the same. Boring. Faceless. No outstanding personality. What the man in the shadows offered was something more with wonderland... A smirk lightly played across the face of the beautiful man, often mistaken for a female, and therefore, named the queen of hearts. He held the most powerful position in wonderland, yet he still wanted more. He wasn't satisfied with how things were. Everyone was bound by 'roles'. And he had the role of a female. Why must he be the one to role over and play queen? Didn't that mean if a 'king' came along they would outpower him? So he made a pact. A pact to never lose his position and power.
Entering the closed off room, The light-haired male looked around himself, and was soon rewarded with a light chuckle.
"Back alreadly, beautiful Queen?" Came the deep Voice he was beginning to grow accustomed to hearing without actually seeing the speaker. Teron nodded slightly.
"Nnn, Yes. Well, Of course. I need to speak with you. Those.. 'things' have been seen more often about Wonderland. You said they weren't dangerous, yet I lost one of my cards to them." He said, and crossed his arms over his chest, looking for all the world like a peeved woman. The chuckle was all he heard for a moment.
"Worry not darling queen. They only eat those who are a threat to you.." Came the response, and a light brush of air across his cheek, as if he had just been caressed by a hand. Teron closed his eyes and shivered for a second, before nodding.
"If you say so.." The Queen said, if a a bit doubtful.
"Of course. Trust me on this. I know everything that happens. So just.. Relax, lovely one.."
Teron frowned once more, before lightly flicking his hair back out of his face, and turning around.
"I don't want anymore casualties in the castle or amongst my followers." He stated, and left the room then, shutting the doors tight behind him once more. Not that he was scared. No, Teron was not scared of the Voice. He just didn't want anyone else entering those chambers.
His 'meeting' over with for the day, the Queen of hearts stalked off down the hallways of the palace to go arrange to have tea. It was a good way to relax. And everyone here stressed him out.

Sometimes, life seems normal enough. Other times, it is what it seems, and not normal. For Alex, each day of his was normal, and never changing. Sure, sometimes things would differ in each day, but nothing completely strange. Like, there were no unicorns, or fairies, or angels, or demons. In fact, he didn't even believe in God. He was quite a down-to-earth sort of boy. And his father was CEO of a toy business. Oftentimes, his friends would tease him about his strange view for one so young, and for one who had all the opportunities in the world for his imagination to grow. Which, frankly, the boy had a good imagination. Vivid too. But he didn't let it run away with him. In fact, he didn't even write stories or read fantasy books. His favorite books were the ones about different places in the world. Once he graduated HighSchool, he was going to travel the world. For his dad's company, of course, but he would travel and go to all those places he had read about. Maybe re-visit some places that they had gone on vacation to.
But first, he had to graduate. He was almost done with school. He got good grades, had a bunch of good friends. Speaking of which..
"Dude. We're going to the expensive theatre. He can pay!"
"But the expensive theatre has all the snobs there."
"SO?! The girls are hot!"
"And snobbish."
"Shut up. I wanna go out to eat. Why do we need to go to the movies?"
"YOu shut up! The popular consesus was that we were going to the movies, lard-butt."
"Hey! You're the one that always gets 2 things of popcorn and extra butter, watch who you're calling fat!!"

Alex Stiffled a yawn as he listened to his friends banter back and forth about their plans for the evening. His three best friends, they always hung out in a group on fridays nights. Which, tonight was. He gazed out the car window, watching the lights go past. He had no opinion as to where they went. Food was fine. But the movies were good too. There was actually this really cool horror film he wanted to see that had just come out. Finally, their attention went to him, to decide for them. Why he was deemed the leader of the group, he never knew. They always said it was because he had the most money. Therefore, would usually pay for most of whatever they did. Alex believed it was because honestly, they couldn't decide things on their own. Each to their own belief however.
He sighed as they all looked at him.
"I want to go to the movies." He stated. The other two sneered at the one who had suggested food, who pouted and stared out his own window. The one who had spoken about snobby girls frowned then.
"What theatre then? I don't want to go to the expensive one." He remarked.
"The one down this road has the best seats. We'll go there." Alex replied, almost bored.
The driver merely growled.
"Dude, really? Come on. But the girls!" He argued. Alex shook his head.
"You May be desperate for a lay, but the rest of us wanna see a movie." He remarked, teasing his friend. The other two snorted with laughter, and Alex grinned as the friend driving glared at all of them. "You are all gay." He stated, trying to look dignified.
Alex just shook his head and watched out the window again.

----timepass----
The movie had been, entertaining to say the least. Highly improbably, but entertaining. His friends were all twitchy now and paranoid, but Alex was the coolest at the moment. So he decided to have a little fun with scaring them.
The carride back was hysterical fun. They screamed like little girls when he touched the bakc of their necks with his hands. Then they decided that he had to sit up front. With a sigh, he did so.
That was the worst decision he had ever made. But then again, if he hadn't, then one of his friends would have suffered his fate.

The road wasn't too slick, there was rain, but not enough to pardon what happened.
It all went really fast. One moment they were at an intersection, turning to get back home, an the next there was the sound of bending metal, as the semi crashed straight into the car. Screams, and the feeling of everthing going upside down, immense pain throughout his entire body. And blood. He remembered seeing red all over the seat and the dashboard in front of him. Was it..his own? He remembered feeling the impact...it had hit his side of the car..
Then there was nothing. No noise, no pain. No light.

The first thing Alex noticed when he woke up was birds. Birds and noises that were usually attributed to a forest of sorts. There was a forest. And a little stream too. He was pretty much laying half in the stream. He sat up, and shook his hair out. His outfit was pretty much the same as he last remembered it. But there had been a carcrash, right? What had happened? Was he dead? Was this where you went when you died? That couldn't be right.. Puzzled, he looked around himself some more, trying to get dry. Questions flitted through his head. Where? What? But there didn't seem to be anyone around as far as he could tell just yet. But, where was here?
