Franada-girl97- Wow 0_0 this got 12 followers after the first chapter...

America- is that impressive?

Franada-girl97- personally...I feel as it is, I've never gotten this many after one Chapter -.-

England- Well...congrats!

Franada-girl97- Now, for those who are reading my other story, Even If...(Another recent story of mine) I'll start updating after I get 3 chapters in this...but I will be alternating between other stories, so don't expect as quick of updates.

England- What if you leave a cliffhanger?

Franada-girl97- that probably means I know what's going to happen already...so If I don't know what's going to happen in anything else...I'll type that up.

Japan- She only owns the story...Anymore, and there'd be more love for one of her OTP's (see username)

The Lost Spade

Ch.2: Who are You?

Alfred's P.O.V

April 23rd, 18-

20 years later

Since I was a young boy, I never really got to do much and I never knew why.

I was never to be outside without a guard. I was never to go over to a friend's house, or walk home from school without someone other than myself. I was never to talk about the mark on my chest; an abstract image of a spade... The symbol of a King...

But that's EXACTLY what confuses me. Other Kings were allowed to be around other people, other kings didn't need a guard where ever they went. Then again, other Kings had a complete deck.

When I say that, you see, I mean we're missing the last member of the three most important people in our kingdom, the Queen.

And I don't know what happened either; all I know is that our queen was a male.

Yet none of this was stopping me from doing what I was doing now.

"WHERE IS HE!?"

"We need to find him, before…"

"Before what, aru?"

Shit...he's already involved in finding me?

Guess I need to get out of here soon...

"Fresh air!" I cried out as I jumped onto the ground outside the castle grounds. Hell yeah! Now I can explore the town!

Someone's P.O.V

"Wake up you little shit!" I heard someone scream as they kicked me in the back, trying to get me up for the day even though I was already awake.

"I'm up!" I cried, finally sitting up, giving up on getting more sleep. Can't a guy just get his sleep?

"What do you need right now?" I asked as I came down, slipping a slightly torn up shirt on since they're always so keen on keeping my back covered. They don't even want me looking at my own back.

But of course I listen; they're the ones that have taken care of me since birth.

"Well...may-"

"Later," the one in charge said, walking over and placing a quick kiss on my lips. I felt a little weaker than I did before for some unidentifiable reason. (A/N Forgot to mention this last chapter...the Queen's energy can be used by anyone, the King just needs it, a human only uses it to be able to use any kind of power/magic at all) "He needs to run out to get some things for us."

"What is it?"

"Well, we need a new chicken, some rum, and some more vegetables," the main one told the boy standing there awaiting his orders, keeping all his attention on the man talking to him. "Here's the money."

"Alright Albert" (A/N Yes, it's 2p's again...they're almost always the bad guys in my stories), Arthur told him, grabbing his hood, and putting it over himself as if he did not want to be seen. "See you later."

"Alright, Arthur."

Alfred's P.O.V

"Hey! Gilbert!" I cried out, running down the streets of this peaceful, little town. While I had been running, I just happened to notice my good friend, Gilbert, standing there trying to woo some lady who was mourning.

Wait...why is she mourning?

"Well, I'll catch up with you," Gil told the lady, afterwards walking over to me with a smirk. "Hey dude! How did you get out of there today of all days!?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it's been 20 years since...a specific day."

"That's one more year before my birthday...what happened?"

"Well..." he began rubbing the back of his head as he began to try to tell me, only to be interrupted by a cry for help.

"Leave me alone! HELP!"

"….. Gil? Who w-"

"Kesese~ Hey Alfred! You finally get to see my duty! Kesesese~ let's go!"

"Right!" I yelled, running close behind him as we ran towards the cry. You see, within these kingdoms, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, and Spades, specific people are chosen to keep order. These people are known as Jokers. Granted, he's the Joker voted for the Hearts, but he still often comes here to hang out with me since I have so few friends.

"Come on, take that hood off so we can see your cute face," some man, obviously drunk, slurred as he kept on pulling on the hood of the much smaller form below him. He had this twisted smirk, and his second hand was near one of the buttons on the boy's shirt. "It's just for fun."

"LET GO!" the boy cried out, pushing the guy's hand away and starting to run, only to get his arm tightly grabbed. The boy cried out in pain, like a puppy who had just gotten hit by its master.

"HEY! What's going on here!?"

"I just asked him for some fun," the man said, wrapping his arms around the frail boy in a way that made him immobile. The other boy just cringed, gritting his teeth, his bright green eyes flashing in anger. "Isn't that right?"

"Let go, and go home," I told him with a dark aura, my watch beginning to glow as a sign my energy was building up. "Or else I'll make you regret harming the weak."

"Hey! I'm not w-"

"Shut up! What can you do!?" the drunken man slurred covering the boy's mouth, tears brimming up in his eyes. "You're just some-"

"Some WHAT!?", I yelled, sending a light blue blast of energy at the man, sending him flying into a pile of hay, then he just lay there. Seeing that, I walked over to the boy sitting on the ground, recovering his composure. "Are you alright?"

"Tsk, I'm fine you git."

Well...that was rude...

"There he is!" I heard Yao crying out in the distance. Shit! I'm not going home yet! So since I wasn't done talking to either one of them, I grabbed Gilbert and the frail boy's hands, and ran. "Come on!"

"W-wait! Alfred!"

"The King's out of the castle!?"

"LET GO OF ME! I need to shop!"

"We're going that way!" I cried out to the mysterious boy as I began getting annoyed, and ran down into the market area. Take that Yao! I'm still free! "Let's just go!

"Wait! Who are you!?"

"Alfred F. Jones! Otherwise known as your King! So let's go!"

If only I realized just how much my life would change by going with this boy today... and how much the future of this kingdom would change as well.

That day I found someone VERY important and dear to this kingdom.

…...

Franada-girl97- and our two protagonists meet at last!

America- wow...20 years?

Franada-girl97- yep ^^

England-…...how has he been able to do everything he has done? Like spells, without me?

Franada-girl97- he was born with a large amount, he can't replenish it though...which is bad if you use magic a lot.

Japan- Indeed it is...

France- Am I in the next chapter?

Franada-girl97- next, or fourth.

Prussia- Review, and she'll get things up faster :D

Have a character you want to see? Want an OC in the story? Have any recommendations? READ THIS!

If any of those things apply to you...PLEASE LET ME KNOW THROUGH A PM OR REVIEW! I am not some zombie that will eat your brain...or the crooked man...or some evil witch that will use your body to live, and get you killed (*cough* Ellen *cough*) if you haven't seen something, and want to see it ^^. I am happy to add any thing you want. KEEP IN MIND THOUGH! I WILL be making sure anything you recommend fit's into the story line, and will not ruin the plotline. For OC's, I will probably accept any, though you need to give me an accurate description, and maybe even a picture if you have one. Have fun, and tune in for more in this story.
