Prologue

Alice has been running, and running, and running non stop for days now, the ones she'd been hiding from for five years had caught up to her a few days ago, causing her to again drop everything and run. She'd entered an unfamiliar territory when she was suddenly surrounded by strange men all wearing clocks for necklaces. She tried going past them when they blocked her, she cursed under her breath and glared at the men in front of her, wanting to keep running farther. One man stepped forward and tried to grab her, narrowing his eyes when she jerked back and glared at him hatefully. Almost daring him to touch her.
"Let me through." She said, her voice cold. The man just smirked and stepped forward, two of his men flanking him on either side. She narrowed her eyes in defiance and swung her fist out, catching the man off guard as he struck him in the jaw hard. He stumbled back and hit the ground, the other two growling deep in their throats as they stepped forward, grabbing at her. She struck one in the groin with the heel of her foot and the other she clocked in the gut, then turned on her heel and began running before the others could try to get her too.

Descriptions

Queen V, or Vivian, was an only child that was raised as a poor girl. When she turned 15, she was on the streets and about ready to die. She wasn't ready for what happened. On night she ran into an old couple, they had their hoods drawn and were speaking quietly. She was trying to get closer to try to bum some money to get a snack for she hadn't eaten in days when they suddenly turned and caught her. Those people were the founders of the royal family. The former King and Queen. They brought V in and raised her as their own. She was raised tough but loved and was quickly surrounded by a new family. At age 19 both her new parents and her new family were killed tragically causing severe traumatic stress on her and she acts like a child now, even as rules a successful kingdom.

Her daily life consists of stealing for food and sleeping on rooftops and in alleyways. At just under five feet she isn't a helpless little girl, years on the street have shown her to hold her own.

Will this boy show her how to trust again or shatter what's already left of her fragile mind?

Ace

Ace is the Queens Silver Knight and takes pride in wearing his armor all the time, though it causes him to get shunned often.

But, what will he do when he realizes he will have to fight for the affections of Alice by none other than the Queen's bodyguard, Boris the Neko?

Kai

Kai is the oldest, by a second, of the Bloody twins. He's been with his brother for as long as he can remember and doesn't know the meaning of a home. He's been the Queen's personal assistant for as long as he can remember also. She took in the twins when they were young, taught them how to live and fight to death. Made them strong. Kai never had to ask for anything but instead gave his all to his Queen and brother. He's preferred it that way. He's never had someone he could call a friend besides Boris the Neko and didn't think that would change. What happens when a fiery little redheaded girl shows up and makes him feel like its his job to protect her? And what will happen when he learns the truth behind her fragile interior?

He can do anything he'd like anyway he'd want to. People who know him call him Joker, those who don't refer to him as the Mad Hatter. Which he doesn't care for. Next is his skill's. He can do anything he'd like with his mind, and can turn cards into daggers without so much as a blink of his eye. What's going to happen when he's forced to damn the girl he raised to her abusive family without being able to help her? WIll he turn tail and run or find a way to fight for someone he sees as his only real family.
