ALICE
Blinding white light surrounded me, frying my retinas. My nose was filled
with the sterile and acrid stench of chemicals and disinfectant spray. My
feet were freezing and my lips were cracked and dry. I lay still, either
unable or unwilling to move as I blinked against the harsh, bright light from
above.
For a moment, I was disoriented, confused by my strange surroundings.
Was I lying outside in the snow that camouflaged the White Queen’s
castle? Was I in Amari’s infirmary, resting on that same cold marble table
where Ransom had been not that long ago?
Then it all came flooding back to me.
The asylum.
The padded walls of my room.
The drugs they were pumping into my system to sedate me.
They must’ve been wearing off. Either that, or I was building up a
tolerance.
How did I end up here?
My mind raced as I struggled to remember, but everything was a
confusing blur of police officers, and a bunch of people and paparazzi at my
favorite Starbucks in Malibu.
Oh . . . that’s right . . . I did this to myself.
I’d walked through the giant magic mirror in the training courtyard of
Queen Amari’s castle and stepped from one world into my own.
I didn’t know where I belonged, but it sure as hell wasn’t here. I peered
through the tiny window in the steel door of my room. The only view was a
wall of painted cinderblocks, bathed in the same sickly glow of the buzzing
fluorescent lights.
My gaze drifted down, landing on a gooey blue smear on the floor by
my bed, and I instantly recoiled. I knew exactly what it was. One of the Red
Queen’s spies, in the form of a blue worm—a blue pill—had been sent to
monitor my every move.
Well . . . it used to be a worm.
That motherfucker never stood a chance.
Not when I got through with it.
I hated—absolutely hated—that the Red Queen already knew where I
was.
How did she know?
I tried to sit up so I could wipe the remaining stain from the floor, and
was immediately jerked back down.
“What the hell?”
My eyes slid down to my wrists, then my ankles . . . which were all held
in place by white straps attached somewhere along the bottom of my bed.
Another wider band was wrapped around my waist, holding my body down.
The padded walls seemed to pulsate and close in around me as panic
rose in my chest. I curled my hands into fists and pulled against the thick,
wide straps, but it was useless.
Rage boiled up inside me, white hot, and within mere seconds of
spilling over. I wanted to scream . . . to cry. The twisted sound that came out
of my throat was a combination of both.
I screamed until my throat was raw.
