Alice was just in wonderland having a tea party when the queens guards showed up and took her to the queen.
"What's the meaning of this"Alice asked.
"You tried to take my heart"the queen yelled.
"I have no idea what you're talking about"Alice said.
"Off with her head"the queen yelled totally ignoring Alice.
"Wait stop please"Alice said as she struggled against the cards. Then the guards just froze.
"What are you waiting for kill her"the queen yelled. Her eyes grew wide as she realized her guards were frozen.
"What kind of witchcraft is this"the queen yelled.
"I-I don't know"Alice said.
"Liar stop this witchcraft"the queen yelled.
"I assure you she isn't lying"a voice said. The queen and Alice look around trying to find the person who the voice belonged to.
"Show yourself"the queen yelled.
"I don't much like taking orders"the voice said.
"How dare you defy me you're queen"the queen yelled. Alice looked at the queens face and could tell the queen was getting scared.
"You're no queen of mine"the voice said.
"W-what do you want"the queen asked.
"Let the lass go"the voice said.
"Why should I do that I-" The queen was cut off when two of the mans cards flew at her and stopped just before they got to her throat.
"I-I will not be ordered around no matter who you are"the queen yelled. Alice gasped when she heard what sounded like laughter but it wasn't the queens or hers so it must belong to the voice. It wasn't the kind of laugh you do after someone says something funny it was a cynical laugh that sent chills down Alice's spine.
"You know I only have one thing to say to you"the voice said.
"What"the queen asked trying to inch away from the cards.
"You might wanna look away lass this isn't something you should see"the voice said. Alice closed her eyes and waited for what happened next.
"Now queen where were we"the voice said. The queen gasped when a man appeared. Alice stiffened as she heard the voice again but this time it was closer to her.
"Off with your head"Luxord said before snapping his fingers. When he did Alice heard the queen scream but her scream abruptly stopped.
"You can open your eyes lass"the voice said. Alice hesitantly opened her eyes and when she did she didn't see the queen but the nearby roses that were white before were now red. Then she turned and saw a man with platinum blond hair who wore a black coat.
"What happened to the queen"Alice asked.
"I think you know"the man said. Alice just nodded since he was right. Then Alice started to cry.
"Why are you crying"the man asked trying to hide his shock.
"I feel bad for the queen she wasn't nice but she didn't deserve to die she was just grouchy because she was lonely"Alice said.
Damn this girl has to be a princess of light she cared for someone who hated her.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't cry I should be thanking you for saving me"Alice said wiping her eyes.
"I was just trying to save you lass"the man said.
"I'm Alice"Alice said holding her hand out. The man looked at it cautiously.
"Come on I won't bite"Alice said laughing and giving the man a warm smile.
"Well aren't you gonna tell me your name"Alice asked.
"I'd rather we skip the formalities"the man said smiling.
"I wish to know the name of my hero"Alice said.
"I assure you lass I am no hero"the man said.
"Of course you are you saved me"Alice said smiling.
"People call me the gambler of fate"the man said.
"Ok then i'll call you that until you tell me you're real name"Alice said.
"Well as fun as that sounds I have to go"Luxord said walking towards the bushes.
"Wait what about the cards"Alice asked.
"You will rule them now Queen Alice"the man said.
"But I-"
"They will listen trust me"the man said before snapping his fingers. He disappeared into the bushes and Alice ran after him but he was no where to be seen.
"Where's the queen"one of the guards asked.
"I'm in charge now"Alice said.
"What happened to the queen"a guard asked.
"She had to run some errands she put me in charge"Alice said hoping the cards would believe her.
"All hail queen Alice"a card said bowing. Alice smiled when she realized the card belonged to the gambler of fate and he had given it a face and let it talk. She smiled when the other cards quickly copied the other card.
"Please stand up things are gonna be different now"Alice said. The cards did as they were told and awaited her orders.
"Do you guys like red roses"Alice asked. The cards all looked at each other as if they were afraid to speak up.
"It's ok don't be afraid speak up I value your opinions you won't be judged for it"Alice said.
"I personally think blue would look better my queen"the 3 of hearts said.
"I agree blue would look nice"Alice said.
"I would like some to be black or purple"a 9 of spades said.
"I totally agree"Alice said.
"We will plant the new roses right away my queen"a five of hearts said.
"Thank you"Alice said. All the cards started to leave and Alice spotted the gambler of fate's card again.
"Except you"Alice told the card.
"What is it my queen"the card asked.
"The gambler of fate left you didn't he"Alice asked.
"Yes my queen"the card said.
"Would you mind telling me his real name"Alice asked.
"I'm sorry my queen but I cannot do that"the card said bowing.
"It's ok you may go now"Alice said.
"Of course my queen"the card said bowing.
