Chapter: Rose meets wonderland

In a country far from here and in the distant past, it was a girl who was only called a rose by everyone, because her skin was as soft as a rose petal, her hair as red as a rose and she as beautiful as a rose . Rose did not turn fourteen in the spring and should be looking for a husband since she came from a noble family and it was customary to get engaged early in order to marry later. Rose didn't want this and was very saddened by her fate. The red-haired girl went to her beloved greenhouse, where every type of rose that existed in the world at that time was grown and there, too, held her tea hours in this beautiful atmosphere, for Rose it was her "tea garden". When she went into the tea garden the day before her engagement to have her usual cup of Earl Gray tea, a white rabbit hopped past her. The rabbit was very strange because it was wearing a suit and was always carrying a huge gold pocket watch. It didn't really hop, but hurried, it also called: “I'm too late, too late, too LATE!” “A talking rabbit? Is this an unrealistic dream of mine?” Asked the young Rose. The rabbit scurried past the confused girl and slipped into a huge hole that Rose has never seen in her garden. “Where does this hole come from?” The redhead took a few steps to the hole, which was directly in a rose bed, and looked inside, she looked deeper and lost her balance. "H-HELP!" Shouted Rose, falling into the hole. Rose closed her eyes. "Is this how my life will end?" She wondered to herself. Rose took a look and was amazed. Flying books, a flying rocking chair and many other objects flew around. "What the ..." marveled Rose. When she knew it she landed on a chair and fell further into the darkness.

Suddenly she stopped with the chair. Rose discovered a bottom! The girl got off the wooden chair and put both feet on the black and white tiled floor. Without her noticing it, the wooden chair flew up again. "Where did I end up here?" Muttered the fourteen year old. The walls in the room were white, with a purple wooden door in front of her. A door! Rose quickly hurried to the door, pulled the knob and opened the door. A smaller, greenish door was behind it, and she opened the door too. The process was repeated until only a fifty centimeter high brown door appeared and she opened it too. This time there was a passage! Rose bent down and crawled through the doorway. After she was on the other side, they closed the doors as if by magic. Now she was in a yellow and white tiled floor and red walls, a marble fireplace, a glass table and a small wooden door with a gold doorknob. It was open. "How am I supposed to ever get through ... Oh, if only I were a little smaller!"Sighed Rose. Suddenly a biscuit box appeared on the glass table. The astonished girl walked up to the table, took the dainty biscuit tin with the inscription" Wunderkekse ". The tin smelled of chocolate and strawberry, vanilla and pistachio and much more When Rose listened more carefully, she heard a sad blues sound from the fireplace, even if the music was soft, it was so clear that it fired Rose's heart. Curiously, the girl opened the box and discovered lots of biscuits. Big and small, one with me red glaze and one with yellow glaze, one with white swirls and one without swirls. A biscuit, however, fascinated Rose the most. A small her-shaped cookie with blue glaze and red glaze that said: "Eat me! "" I shouldn't eat the biscuit, my mind tells me it could be poisoned, but my heart says: Eat it! He will work miracles! ", thought Rose. She did what her heart told her and ate the biscuit." Hmmmh ... Raspberry ... no, strawberry! ... Or was it plum? "While she was thinking, her body changed. Rose got smaller and smaller and smaller until she was only as big as a marten." Well? ... But now I can step through the door. ", said Rose happily and hurried to the open door." What awaits me on the other side? "The dreamy girl imagined a romantic world, with pink skies and peace," Have courage, Rose! Go through! "Once she took a deep breath and went through the door.
