Kowhai's Draft Fan Fiction

Alice in Wonderland, my take. What if Alice isn't crazy? What if this "Wonderland" she speaks of is a real place that she can come and go from freely? What if the name Alice is more of a title? What if people are trying to make her forget the place of her birth? The fact that shes really not that human after all, but still people insist shes crazy so she keeps Cheshire's visits a secret while he keeps her informed. 

Main character - A new Alice set in the 21st century
Supporting Characters - Cheshire Cat, The Mat Hatter, Rabbit, Hare
Antagonist - The Red Queen, Jabberwoki, Dr Bumby, The Executioner  

“Alice, Alice, wake up Alice!” I startled awake to see a dark tattooed larger than a dog cat. He smiled wide revealing white blood stained teeth. His body was too lean and covered in black tribal looking tattoos. His fur was a dark blue and his tail flicked lazily. “It’s about time you woke up Alice” he said his yellow eyes staring intently.  “My name is not Alice” I told him sitting up. I looked around, everything was white. The walls, the floor, ceiling, door even my bed and the sheets that covered it. “Then what is your name?” the cat asked lazily, crossing his front paws. "I don't know".
  • Set in this time 
  • Wonderland as an alternate universe
  • Relate her to the Alice in the game
  • Time in the asylum - as a child
Cheshire cat used to tell me stories when I was a little girl, he told me all about wonderland. He said that when I was a little older I would have to fight to make it peaceful again. I wrote stories and drew pictures of wonderland and its people, the good and the bad. Teachers often told me that Cheshire wasn't real, that wonderland was all in my head, my father believed I was going insane, telling me that insanity was in my blood. That's the last time I saw my father. He looked ashamed of me as he took me to the asylum, as he drove away and left me in the hands of strangers.
  • First person 
  • Question parentage - Alyce (mother) and the hatter? 
  • Tweedledee and Tweedledum - Care takers in the asylum?
"I know of a way to get you out of here Alice" Cheshire suggested one evening. "And how is that?" I asked moving my rook. "I will go away" I knocked the table, spilling chess pieces everywhere. "Oh Ches you cant go!" "But I must Alice. But do not fear, I will come back when you are no longer imprisoned, and I will take you away from here. I will take you to Wonderland" his grin was as wide as it ever was, his blood stained teeth and yellow eyes smiling. Tears fell from my eyes as I hurled my self at my best friend. "It's a promise Cheshire cat" I whispered into his fur as he faded away into nothing.
  • Some sort of disaster - Morbid, insanity inducing?
They held me back, I screamed and screamed. "Mother!" I called over and over. "Michael!" My voice was hoarse as I watched the men try to put out the fire. I turned to stare at the man who had done this. "Murderer!" I hissed. "Sedate her please! Shes only a child!" my so called father pleaded with the paramedics. I tired to resist, but they were too strong against my five year old self. The paramedics placed me in his arms as I was being pulled into oblivion. "All those stories aren't going to save you now" he spat vehemently. "Lets see if you can get to Wonderland from a padded cell!"
  • Released back to her home after 16 years? 
  • Incarcerated as a kid after watching her family's murder? Made to believe her family died in a simple car accident, step father after the money - or has no part?

The Tablet:


The story begins in a time in the distant eras of history. A time that has been long forgotten, a time not often spoken of amongst our elders. Nevertheless the story with a great yet humble human being who goes by the name of Luigi, having lived amongst the Goomba nation known to some mortals as 'the chestnut people'. Among these small creatures of surprisingly sharp intellect, he passed his youth grazing in the meadows and drinking at their watering places.
One day a hunter-goddess by the name of Ishtar was on an expedition to find the double peaked mountain of Maru, at the base of which was the spaceport of the extra-terrestrials. The fair skinned goddess’ intention was to go to the heavenly abode of the extra-terrestrials in order to get help against a ruthless tyrant by the name of Mario who ruled a great city kingdom called Mondo.
On her quest for the majestic mountain with peaks piercing the heavens, the goddess finds the mortal Luigi in a small cave. Finding the mortal Luigi resting outside the cave she is shocked with how barbaric he is, however what could you expect from a mortal being raised in the company of animals and Goomba from infancy. The mortal had yet to see the four corners of the world, neither the rose cheeked goddess or Luigi himself could ever imagine the places he would go to and the people he would encounter not to mention fiery tempered demi gods and demons. His world was merely a small and lush plain and these wild Goombies were all he had ever known.
The goddess, upon seeing Luigi inquired who he was and from where he had come. Seeing that he was very strong and possessing bravery the likes of which she had never seen amongst mere mortals. She thought to herself that this was the























 




Nicola's Fan Fiction draft.

Add dates** Work on  paragraphing etc

Dear Fairy Diary,

Today was agonising. I had to watch my beloved Cinderella's heart break as her sisters talked incesintly of the Prince's upcoming ball. Lady Tremaine's Fairy  God mother,  Agatha, just floated around all day long too, not lifting a finger to help Lady Tremaine. She only ever whispers insults about Cinderella to ensure Ella's absence at the ball.

I have built a secret room under Ella's bed so I can take in her mothers wedding dress, just incase Ella finds a way to attend the ball. I am being extremely secretive because if Agatha even smells a whiff of my plans to send Ella to the ball - all fairy world will break lose.

I feel exasperated, I can only revel myself to Cinderella once in her life and I'm worried that time is coming. Attending this ball will change her whole life, just one glance shared by her and the prince will trigger their happy ever after, but what if Agatha stops Cinderella before she gets to the ball?

If only Cinderella knew that her and the prince are destined to be together, her father always said so, too. But after his passing she forgot her dreams and can only think about her daily torture - it's all part of Lady Tremaines spell. Agatha has been doing everything possible to keep Cinderella outside of the princes thoughts, even sending him anonymous picts of cinderellas two-step sisters, although the pictures have had a lot of photoshop done to them, and rightly so.

Dear Fairy Diary,

I can't  spread my wings to fall asleep, so Im flying around researching fairy god mother spells and I just read the perfect one. If all goes right, I will show Cinderella her mothers wedding dress in a dream tonight, she will find it tomorrow and start to day dream about the ball. At which point I will block her thoughts from Agatha. I will ensure her tardiness to the ball, and then her sisters wont's see her, as they'll definitely be eating all they can by that time.

If all goes wrong, I will have no choice but to show myself and take cinderella there myself, this shan't happen, my wings cannot perceive what could go wrong. I love my cinderella, she is so kind and sweet and she will finally be happy... Only three days till the ball. Only three days till true love prevails.

Dear Fairy Diary,

It worked! Cinderella has found her mothers wedding dress, it fits perfectly. Agatha has no idea what is coming, she will most certainly only be worried about putting a spell on Lady Tremaine and her daughters so they appear beautiful tomorrow night. Although all our power spells only last 4 hours, so I need to be weary that the ladies will be leaving promptly after the ball. There is only 1 day left now, and not too much to do aside from the usual assisting Ella with her chores. Tomorrow is Dee day! Time to sprinkle fairy dust over this beautiful girl and let her rest.

FAIRY DIARY!

Today...

Cinderella and I returned from picking berries to find her mother's  wedding dress ripped up and sitting in an ugly pile on the floor. My wings went into a spin as I could smell the fairy dust that lingered in the room, although Ella thought it was her sisters, I knew who it really was, AGATHA.

This left no time, with only 7 hours till the ball Cinderella was devastated, she sat on the ground weeping. The last thing she had of her mothers was gone. I could easily put it back together but not without showing myself. The risk was far too high.

I fluttered to the Princes Palace and saw his father was pressuring him to make an announcement; he would  chose a wife tonight, or forfeit the crown. No doubt that was Agatha's evil doing, placing thoughts into the Kings mind.

I returned home and couldn't help but cry when I again saw Cinderella's devastation. We sat on her floor crying just long enough for Agatha to see and do her dramatic hyena laugh.

The next 3 hours were torture. The smell of fairy dust and Ella's tears, the two worst smells in the world surrounded me. I made time stand for a while so I could think about the pros and cons of showing myself to Cinderella, I couldn't make up my mind until I heard Ella whisper "No one cares for me, I mays well run away, never to return." That was too much! It took all my strength to change forms, but there I was no longer invisible, no longer fluttering, but standing in front of my love Cinderella.

She gasped, I giggled.
"No time to waste" I said. She gasped again.
"Who are you? " Ella asked.
I let these words float out "I'm your fairy God Mother. I am here to get you to the ball."

Ella smiled as wide as I'd ever seen. "I've never been so lucky."

I flew us outside and there we stood as I fixed the dress and placed her in it. The rest was easy, fairy spells 101, mice into horses, the dog into a footman, pumpkin into  carriage and of course, her tears into glass slippers.

"How can I thank you?" Ella tenderly asked.
"Be home by midnight and tell me how the prince is" I said with a wink.

"Of course" She trailed as the horse rode off.

And here I am, it's much past midnight and "Happy Ever After" has been started. And no one, not even Agatha can stop true Magic.
