The bright green eyes continued to flood Alice's vision as she traveled with Lord Ascot. She would grow slightly sorrowful when the image appeared to her. She would return to Underland and all the wonderful friends she made there. Her Wonderland was her true home.

Alice Kingsleigh had been away from London for four years. Her mother passed on from a sudden illness during Alice's second year of traveling. Margaret had lost contact with Alice due to her controlling husband, Lowell Manchester. Hamish Ascot has married a sweet young lady named Emma Grace Williams. Upon their return to London, Lord Ascot invites Alice to reside in a guest residence located on the Ascot estate. With a bright green image blurring her thoughts, Alice gladly accepts the offer.

The sun shone through the curtains brightly on the first morning of her return. She thought about how nice it was to sleep in a bed she could call her own. She rose from the bed and stretched out. She walked over to the wardrobe that Lord Ascot had kindly had his servants fill with wonderful garments the previous night. She had somewhere to be later this afternoon, so she wanted to look a bit more special than usual. She found a pale blue dress that looked similar to her favorite dress as a little girl. She got ready and walked out into the garden.

She continued to walk around the garden for about an hour before she found herself drifting into the woods. She had made a promise that she intended to keep.

She thought to herself. Is there any reason I shouldn't go now? Maybe a surprise visit would do all of us some good. Look at me, talking to myself. Mad.

Alice smiled to herself at the last thought before finding herself at the tree.

This is the tree. This is the place. This is it. I'm going back, and I'm going back for good. Lord Ascot, your kindness is remarkable, and I am very grateful for it. You have taken care of me as if I were your daughter, and my father, I mean, Charles, would be very thankful for that as well. I will miss you. Goodbye London. Goodbye.

Alice took a step closer to the rabbit hole that was right before her. She paused for a moment. Shaking her head and laughing at herself, she knelt on the ground. She looked into the hole. She looked further and further until she finally fell.
