But the woman in the red jacket has no choice.

It's not safe for anyone alone in the woods. Something powerful.And to find the truth she will have to track this beast to the very heart of the Old City where the rabbit waits for his Alice. She doesn't remember why she's in such a terrible place-just a tea party long ago and long ears and blood.Then one night a fire at the hospital gives the woman a chance to escape tumbling out of the hole that imprisoned her leaving her free to uncover the truth about what happened to her all those years ago.Only something else has escaped with her. Her hair once blonde hangs in tangles down her back. In a warren of crumbling buildings and desperate people called the Old City there stands a hospital with cinderblock walls which echo with the screams of the poor souls inside.In the hospital there is a woman. Barnum and he'd been looking for a mermaid. Remarks of this strange and unusual woman travelled from village to village and town to town until they reached the ears of a man whose business was in the selling of the strange and unusual. So she stayed with him and loved him though he grew old and she did not.

But her eyes had seen inside of him and his loneliness caught her more surely than the net. She stopped her thrashing and crashing at his voice though she did not understand his words. The storm in her eyes rolled into his heart. A woman with black hair and eyes as grey as a stormy sea and a gleaming fish's tail instead of legs. One evening he pulled up his net and found a woman in it. Once there was a fisherman who lived on a cold and rocky coast and was never able to convince any woman to come away and live in that forbidding place with him. The pieces are set and the game has begun and each move brings Alice closer to her destiny. Still Alice and Hatcher are on a mission to find his daughter: a quest they will not Forsake even as it takes them deep into the clutches of the mod White Queen or into the realm of the twisted and cruel Black King.

But the verdant fields are nothing but ash-and hope is nowhere to be found. The land outside of the Old City was supposed to be green lush hopeful. Peter will say I'm a villain that I wronged him that I never was his friend. Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever. He wants always to be that shining sun that we all revolve around.

He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate's sword. Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. There is one version of my story that everyone knows.
