It was that day come around the bin. A ball was being held and my mother was wishing for me to find a lady to wed. I have explained to her one too many times though that I wish to not be tied down, even if it isn’t proper. What time does her mind live in? Chivalry times? Though I can hear the ruckus downstairs of servants, yes servants, scattering to make everything as impossibly perfect as can be. My mother may have plans for me tonight but I have others. So yes I still live with my mother, but now that Alice is gone and my father too I can’t leave her alone…even though I want too. As I dressed in my dark black suit I thought of my sister, she would probably be in a suit right next to me with her rebellious attitude. Though I sometimes frowned upon it and was embarrassed by it oh how I dearly miss it now.

A loud knock on my door alerted me to my surroundings again. I quickly fixed my tie and opened the door to find a young servant girl all dressed and ready for the ball. As usual I smiled to her and followed her down the stairs and outside to the garden. Many people littered our grounds and music, the elegant kind could be heard as couple danced on the grounds. I was lead to my mother who just had to pick a meeting place on the far side of the garden. If it wasn’t a cool day today I might have melted in my black suit on the way to her. “Ah there you are Andrew.” I could hear the disproval in her voice for being late, it wasn’t hard to catch on to after this many years. You would think she could find something else to nag at. She began to speak about the ball, who I should dance with, people and their names, like I care right now. My eyes were staring past her and threw her when something to the side caught my attention. I do believe I saw a young boy in the maze, yes we have a maze my mother is old fashioned very old fashioned. I mumbled a low excuse me before walking over to where I last saw the boy.

When I saw him again he shot off into the maze and of course I followed him as fast as I could. The boy seemed to be hopping but that wasn’t right, it couldn’t be but it drew me closer. With my thoughts I hadn’t realized how far and long I had run and ended up at the edge of our land where the woods sprawled out where I and Alice had never been but once. That time was frightening on its own, but I had to follow the boy he was just up the hill. Something just drew me to him. So I scrambled up using the tree roots to help me find my footing even during the spring the dead leaves where scattered about and effecting my dress shoes and their grip. Finally I was on the top of the hill and facing this oddly formed tree. It was dead of course must have snapped in two but the other half was missing, maybe lightning struck it or something. Then there was the boy, by a whole and he jumped in it to my shock. “Hey wait!” I called after and ran up to it, that wouldn’t be safe for a young boy to be playing in. A wolf could live in it or something, well then why am I heading towards it especially running like I am. As I got closer to the tree I slowed to a stop by the whole and crouched down looking inside. “Hey, you shouldn’t be in there. Get out before you hurt yo-“ but then the ground gave out from under me and I was falling. Falling fast, but how and where!

My eyes looked around franticly and I saw the tree roots and gripped for them hissing as it slid threw my fingers like rope burning them. Then I looked around again and began flipping like a tumbler. I caught site of wait that couldn’t be right! It’s a book shelf! But it was real when I hit it alright. I was screaming now why hadn’t I stopped falling! I’d reach the core of the earth at this rate! Expected me to say China right? I’m not my sister remember. Wait that’s a piano! I just barely missed hitting a piano! This isn’t real! I have to be dreaming! Then suddenly I could see what looked like ground, no wait tiles. I screamed as I got closer to it putting my hands out in front of my face so it wouldn’t hurt when I crashed into them. Then all of a sudden I hit the tiles and fell right smack onto a chandelier. Through my groaning I couldn’t get threw my head that I was looking down at the floor, well until I fell to it.
