A group of friends were enjoying each others company in that fateful spot where so many others had been taken from. They were the Deck, the completion of Wonderland. A foreigner for every territory. And they didn't even know it.
Michael Liddell was the brunette muscle of the group. If anyone tried to mess with them, Michael would take care of it. Being the only male in the group, it was not surprising that his companions were not as afraid of him as everyone else was. They all saw him as the blue-eyed softy with a protective streak.
Riley Odair was the quiet one. She had long dark brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes, her best attribute, and, though she refused to admit it, a very nice figure. She had many admirers that she was oblivious to, though it was never taken personally since she was oblivious to nearly everything when she had a book in front of her.
Blaise Everdeen was the fiery loudmouth. She had hair to match her personality, long and wavy and bright red with her forest green eyes complementing it perfectly. She knew she had admirers, and flaunted it although she never touched any of them. Despite her boisterous personality, she had a truly good heart and would stubbornly take of people whether they wanted it or not.
Angel Aden was the petite 'little sister' of the group. Everyone protected and loved her for her innocence. She was shy and quite but had an ethereal beauty. Her hair was pale blond and her eyes a soft green, her skin pale and soft and her build small, enforcing the idea that she was fragile. She rarely spoke and was often teased when she did, which brought on more silence.
And finally, Nikki Newman. She was the insanity in the group. She had the insane ideas, her cobalt eyes always sparked with excitement as she convinced others to join her crazy stunts and her black hair flying as she sped through her ideas at a mile a minute.
Together they formed the perfect combination of friends, every one of them complimenting each other and forming unbreakable bonds. It was those bonds that made them perfect to take on the Role of the Deck. The Deck was legendary and rare for finding a group of foreigners with these unique characteristics and bonds was near impossible.
Although a certain incubus would proclaim nothing was impossible, and no one would disagree once the Deck was established.
...
Riley was the first to notice the rabbit coming up to them. "Guys." She whispered, barely heard, "Guys quiet. Look."
Everyone went silent to see what she was talking about. "Oh my gosh! It's so cute!" Angel gushed as everyone froze, not wanting to scare it away.
Michael frowned, "Is that bunny wearing clothes? And glasses?"
"Hello~" the bunny said as it neared them.
Blaise's mouth dropped. "D-did that rabbit just talk?"
"Follow me!" it said, turning around and running back to the forest that surrounded the Liddell property.
Nikki was the first to react. "Well, let's go."
"Go where?"
"After it of course!" she said with a look that said it should have been obvious.
For once, no one argued. It was too strange for anyone not to be curious. The group stood, Nikki in the lead and they didn't have to go far before they found the strange rabbit… and the large hole.
Nikki, of course, wanted to jump in. "Are you insane!" Blaise yelled, "You can't even see the bottom, we'd all die!"
Angel had taken a few steps back from the hole, as if afraid she would fall in and Michael was ushering the others away.
Riley was staring hard at the dark hole and barely noticed as a voice flickered through her head. Jump. You will not be harmed. The Game needs a Deck.
"The Game needs a Deck." She murmured before jumping in. She could hear her friends calling out behind her and she felt Nikki grab her arm, having jumped after her.
Nikki grinned at her as they heard the others following suit. She reached out and clutched Michael's hand from above her and they formed a chain, ensuring they wouldn't get separated. Unfortunately, the Game had other plans. As they began to reach the end, not that they could tell, the force increased.
Pulling them apart, straining their hands as they clutched at each other. Unfortunately, they began slipping apart, each flying in a separate direction.
Multiple names were called out, but the darkness swallowed each call and the Deck was separated. The Game could finally begin.
