Hello to you dear Readers,
Sit down and enjoy the drink you have prepared for yourself.
I will tell you the story of Alice in Wonderland but from another point of view.
Pleased to meet you, I am Alyss, Alice's twin sister, also known as The Will of the Abyss. We are like day and night physically: she is brunette with brown eyes and I have white hair with purple eyes. Despite this, we looked alike when we were little, playing with Cheshire, our cat, or having tea with our stuffed animals.
All good things must come to an end, don't they? But after the rain, the good weather too? Unfortunately the second saying was not intended for us.
I live in the abyss, a dark and cold unreal world. I was able to build a space of my own by copying my sister's room. I saw her through a mirror that allowed me to have a view of her world. I never wondered why I was there and not the two of us.
The days go by and we grow in harmony... Until the day I witness a fundamental change in my twin: Her first love!
Alice: Do you think he'll come, Cheshire? I'm so happy to see him again!!! He's my only friend with you!, she writes cheerfully!!!
Meow! Cheshire replies, rubbing against his mistress's legs. This black cat is a gift from the person who looks after my sister in this tower: Glen Baskervilles! Glen is a cold man but who pays attention to Alice's every need. He sometimes has tea with her but he leaves as quickly as he arrived. I feel her disappointment and sometimes the desire to take her place takes me, even if I can't leave the abyss.
?: Are you waiting for Glen? asks a voice still unknown. He told me to come see you because he's too busy today. Nice to meet you Alice!, he continues with a big smile.
Alice: Who are you? answers my worried sister. Why isn't Glen coming?! He always comes!!! she begins to scream between two sobs.
?: Oops sorry!, he apologizes laughing. I'm Jack, Jack Vessalius, a friend of Glen. You must have heard me playing near the manor, he continues, taking out a pocket watch.
Alice: Are you telling me about your friendship with Glen over a good tea?, she cheers, twirling in her red dress.
Jack tells him about his meeting with Lacie, a little girl he met as a child, then his meeting with the Baskervilles, Glen but also Levi, the former head of this family. Lacie was, according to this man, a "cursed little girl" because of her red eyes. She would have gotten him out of poverty. She was Glen's younger sister before falling into the abyss.
In the abyss? She's in my world! I say to myself. I pull myself together because feeling all the presence in the abyss, I realize that there is no form of life outside of mine.
This thought overwhelms me and my solitude closes in on me. Oz is a rabbit-shaped plush toy that followed me in my solitude in this frightening space. The heart of the abyss allowed Oz to have a conscience, which makes him a talking plush toy.
Jack: Do you want me to come back tomorrow Alice? he asks.
My sister's eyes light up and she immediately nods. She is very alone playing with her dolls and Cheshire who can only meow. Before leaving, this new friend approaches the mirror, he smiles while caressing it then leaves.
Alice has found her smile again, I like it! I find myself dancing with Oz in this fake space that serves as my bedroom.
Suddenly, a crack is heard, cutting us off in our enthusiasm.
The mirror cracks and sparks come out of her world: a breach has formed!!! I approach it and my hand, instead of meeting the cold contact of the mirror, passes through it.
Alice: Big sister?!, my twin writes.
Alyss: To Alice! Are you okay?! Don't you feel too alone?!, I questioned her.
We found ourselves in the mirror. It was unthinkable to be able to go into her world!
The inside is an aquatic space, yet it lets us breathe. I have so many questionsā¦
Alice: Huh?! What?! What's going on?!!! My sister shouts at me as a whirlpool drags her to the bottom.
I desperately try to save her but without success. This whirlpool disappears after swallowing her. Alone again, I resign myself to rising to the surface. The sky becomes brighter and brighter, forcing me to close my eyes and thus swim on instinct. After what seemed like an eternity, I was able to breathe but it was too late when I realized that I was going to fall.
I was coming out of the mirror!!!
AHHH!!! Boom!!
Meow? Cheshire meows at me. He seems to be wondering because even if I look like my sister, I don't have the same personality.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I see that I am in Alice's body and therefore she is surely stuck in the Abyss. I worry about her but it is also an opportunity to improve her daily life.
?: Can I come in Alice? a male voice asks me.
This voice?! Glen! He couldn't come! Why now?!! I worry.
Glen: Do you have a problem with Cheshire? our host seems to be worried.
Alyss: No No! You can come in!, I rush to say.
Miiaarrrr!!!, growls my sister's cat when Glen arrives. It is the first time he growls at her which puts me on my guard. Alice loves him very much so I try to imitate my twin's behavior so that he does not realize our body exchange. However, does he know about my existence? I hope not.
Glen: Excuse me for not coming sooner, I'm on a project and I couldn't stop until I've finished my research.
Alice: It's okay! Come on! Shall I make you some tea? I asked cheerfully.
On a white table, surrounded by dolls, sit small pastries and a teapot. Two immaculate white chairs await us. Cheshire seems to be delighted and rubs against me while he also seems to be moving as far away from Glen as possible.
