Well...this is my story I've been working on. It's a remake of Alice in Wonderland. I please leave me feedback!!!

Chapter 1

David leaped down the stairs. He tripped as he reached the bottom and hit his head. But he was up in an instant, determined not to let that foil his plan for the perfect day. His parents would be gone for the day, so he planned to go hiking in the woods behind his house. He grabbed his brown leather jacket and sunglasses on the way out. He had his hand on the knob and was about to leave when his mom popped her head around the corner. “Are you going out?” she asked.
“Yeah mom” he replied.
“Be careful.” She said.
“Yes mom…” David replied, and was out the door before she could say another word.
It was a bright, clear day. It was warm but not hot. There wasn’t a cloud in the bright blue sky. In other words, it was the perfect spring day. David had been hiking for maybe an hour when he discovered the hole. It looked like any other perfectly ordinary rabbit hole, except for the fact that it looked to be about eight feet in diameter. David cautiously peered down. He couldn’t see the bottom.
He presumably would have tried to find a way to measure the depth of the hole, but suddenly the ground gave way beneath him and he went tumbling into the rabbit hole. He had time for only one thought, Oh crap… before darkness was rushing by his face.
How long he fell, he wasn’t sure, but he did feel it when he fell into the large pile of leaves. The air in his lungs rushed out with a whoosh. At least I’m alive, David thought. Still, it was several minutes before he could sit up properly. When he finally did, he let his gaze wander around. He was in what appeared to be the hollow of a very large tree. There was a small hole leading out of the tree. He looked up, and realized just how far he had fallen. He could barely see the tiny dot of light that was the surface. He was not getting up that way. He shrugged, and crawled through the hole.
When he emerged he found himself in a huge forest. The trees easily towered over anything he had seen before. A narrow dirt path led between two of the massive trees. As he trod the path, he thought he heard a sound behind him, but nothing was there. He continued to walk. Suddenly, someone burst out of the trees behind him and shouted “Boo!” David nearly fell down in surprise. “AHH!” David screamed as he whipped around.
“Oh my god! I’m so sorry!” a female voice said. He caught site of her a moment later. She was a girl, about David’s age. She had a blue dress with white trim, white stockings, shoulder length blond hair a pink bow and a flower set near her bangs. She had large green eyes, which were even larger in surprise. She was very cute. Not beautiful, but cute none the less. However cute she was, though, David was still angry. “What was that about?”
“Sorry,” she muttered, suddenly downcast “I couldn’t resist.”
“Yeah, well…it’s ok. Just don’t do it again.”
The unknown girl brightened up immediately “Ok! I’m Alice! Who are you?”
“Alice?” David muttered,, “You certainly look the part”
“What?”
“Nothing. My names David.”
“Well hello, David! What brings you here?” They started to walk down the path together.
He cast his gaze around “Where is ‘here’ anyway?”
“You’re in Mirra, of course. Where did you think you were?”
“Mirra?” he replied, confused.
“Yep. This world is called Mirra.” Alice giggled suddenly. It was a clean, pure, happy sound. “Mirra, Mirra on the wall, who is the fairest one of all? Me!” she cried and descended into a fit of giggles. When she had recovered enough to answer, David asked, “How did I get here?”
“Shouldn’t you know that better than me?” Alice smiled.
David thought for a moment.
“Well, I fell down a rabbit hole. Landed in a pile of leaves” David unconsciously rubbed his stomach “Boy did it hurt too!”
Alice laughed “Wow. That’s pretty weird.”
David ducked under a low hanging branch “You can say that again. How did you get here, Alice?”
“I have no idea.” Alice replied
The two of them leapt over a brook. “What do you mean?” David asked once he landed on the other side.
Alice shrugged. “I can’t remember a thing. I’m not even sure if my name is Alice. The first thing I remember is waking up in a field somewhere around here.”
“Really?” replied David, shocked.
“Yep. But…I have this feeling. I just feel like…I have to get to the Queen of Heart’s Palace at Wonderland City.”
“Hmm…” David replied, thinking. “Do you think the Queen of Hearts will know how to get me back home?” David asked. “Because, short of a jet pack, there’s no other way for me to go back up the rabbit hole.”
Alice apparently found that very funny. It was several seconds before she could talk properly through her laughter. “Well then,” she said when she had regained her composure, “Why don’t we go to Wonderland City together.”
“Hmm…let me check my schedule.” David replied, smiling.
They both laughed this time.
“So,” David asked, “How far away is Wonderland City?”
“I have no idea,” Alice replied.
“Oh. Well what direction is it in?”
“I don’t know that either.”
David stopped so suddenly that Alice ran into him. “What?” he nearly yelled.
Alice smiled ruefully. “I’m sorry. I guess we’ll have to ask for directions or something.”
“Directions? From who? Do the flowers talk?” he replied.
“No need to be mean!” said Alice.
David took a deep breath. “You’re right. I’m sorry for snapping at you. What do you think we should do?”
“Well,” replied Alice, thinking. “This path has to go somewhere right? Why don’t we follow it. We’re bound to find someone eventually.”
David sighed. “You know we don’t have much food or water, right? All I got is a trail mix bar in my pocket.”
“We’ll find food and water. I’m sure of it.” Alice replied hopefully.
“Well, I guess we better get started. We’re burning daylight,” David said. And together they started their epic journey.

Here's Chapter 2:

Chapter 2

David stopped suddenly and stuck out his arm to stop Alice behind him. “What’s that noise?” he asked. They had only been walking a few hours and were still in a heavily wooded forest.
Alice looked confusedly around. “What noise?” she asked.
“Listen…Do you hear a grinding noise?”
Alice listened hard. At first there was nothing. Then she heard it. “You’re right.. What is that?”
They didn’t have long to wait. Striding into to view through the trees was a six-foot tall mechanical creature. It was made of overlapping strips of red metal, with a bipedal body, and appeared much like a person encased in armor. Engraved on its shoulder was a pawn from a chess set. It made that horrible grinding noise when it moved, as if it was driven by some clockwork mechanism
“What the hell is that?” asked David. Alice just shook her head.
The mechanical thing pointed its metal hand at the two of them. “Identify yourselves,” it said in a synthesized voice.
David and Alice traded glances. “I’m Alice,” she replied, “and this is David.”
“Alice?” the machine repeated. Suddenly, it drew a pistol from its belt and pointed it at Alice. “You will come with me!” it said suddenly.
“Wh-what?” Alice cried. “David, what do I do?”
David pushed her behind him. “Leave her alone!” David shouted. He seemed not to care that the robot had a gun. Suddenly, it lunged at David and pistol-whipped him aside. He went stumbling into the trees to the side. Alice gazed up at the mechanical person in fear. It roughly grabbed her shoulder and put the gun to her head. “You are coming with me. The Red King will be pleased that we’ve found you, Alice.” He shoved her forward. “Now walk!”
Alice stumbled forward, too afraid to refuse. Thoughts bounced around her head. What was going to happen to her? What about David? As if it was cued by her thoughts, there was a sudden ring of metal on metal. The robot stumbled forward. Alice spun around. There was David, sporting a bloody lip and holding an old looking shovel. He leaped on top of the robot, wedged the shovel between its head and it’s body, and pulled on the handle as hard as he could. There was a sound of screeching metal, and suddenly it’s head popped off. It sparked a few times, then stopped moving all together.
The silence seemed to press in around them.
“Wow…” Alice said, “Where did you find the shovel?”
David grinned. “I found it lying back there in the woods. Figured it be better than my fist.” He extended his hand “Need a hand?” She grasped his hand, and he pulled her up.
“You ok?” he asked. Alice nodded. David went over to the body of the robot, and took the gun from his hand. “What are you going to do with that?” asked Alice.
“Well, what if they’re more of them?” David replied. “Good point.”
“Do you know how to fire a gun?” Alice said. “Yeah,” said David. “My dad took me to ranges all the time.”
David examined the gun. It was a semi-automatic. He quickly located the eject lever, and check the clip. Ten round clip. He noticed that there was a black engraving of a pawn on the pistol’s grip. He took a test fire of the pistol at a tree. It fired just fine, leaving a splintery hole in the wood. “Awesome…” remarked David, tucking the gun into his waste band. He checked the robot’s remains and discovered two extra clips. He tucked those in a pocket in his backpack. “C’mon, let’s get moving. There might be more of them.”

I really liked it. You did pretty well on imagery exspecially when you were describing Alice. I can't wait for more.
