Trapped In Wonderland (The Ending)

   It was an early August morning. The sun had blinded my eyes from it's powerful bright rays. My eyes quickly adjusted and I was back in my neighborhood. Yeah, I was only a couple of blocks away from my old house. Was it Halloween? There were scarecrows, and pumpkins. I quickly checked the paper that lay next to me. October 31, 2003. I had a second chance. I could save everyone. my family, I have to save them.
  I quickly rose and ran lightly touching my heals on the sidewalk with every step. 'They could grow up. Get to go to high school, and prom, and graduation. They could date, get married and have kids of their very own. I could save them. Rudy could be killed and this HELL will all be over.' I stopped and stared at my front door. Through the window I could see my mom and dad holding Annabethe as Andy cried wanting more milk. I remembered being so annoyed by it all. I remember wondering why I couldn't be an only child. I was such an idiot for thinking that.
   Tears fell from my face and I didn't even notice. Flashbacks flooded my memory of their bodies lifeless covered in crimson blood, and me? I was helpless and a coward. I couldn't stop any of it. But now I can change it all. I can save them.
   My parents spotted me. They screamed my name and ran outside.
"Alice!When did you get outside and what on earth are you wearing?!" without thinking I had glanced down at my outfit. I was still in my time travel clothes. "I... I uh still don't know.."

"What?" My dad retorted furious. God I missed that.

I knew what i had to do. I had pushed past them and stormed inside. I gave my siblings a kiss and told them i love them. I turned around and as my parents entered, i hugged them and did the same. They were dumbfounded but I had no time to explain. I quickly ran up the stairs and into my old room. I was still on the bed.

"Alice!" My parents screamed terrified as i locked the door slamming it. My old self screamed as my dad pounded on the door. "Look, I'm sorry but this is for our family. I promise."

"Alice open the door right now!" I ignored and I took out the knife that Rudy had given me for emergencies. I tackeled myself and pinned her down. Of course I struggeled, but I had to do it. I quickly took the knife and slit the throat of my past self. Just as I did my dad knocked the door down. My mother screamed and ran to us. I started to cry. "I'm so sorry. You will never understand but I had to die in order to save everyone." My dad fell to his knees. I Coughed heavily as my throat slowly started to open like the other. "I love you"

Time had finally caught up with me. Infinity was finally over.
