"Your majesty." He said, as he bowed.

"Ah, the little rabbit has returned. What news do you have for me?" The woman in the red dress asked.

"Indeed." He said looking up at her. "The rebels are looking for Alice."

"They still think they can find the girl? They are truly lying to themselves, yes?" The knight at her side said.

"Indeed they are," She said. "But have they found her?" She asked the rabbit.

He pondered this for a few seconds, Before replying, "No they have not, it seems. They have lost two of there finest men looking for her."

The queen smiled at the news. Then frowned. "We should make sure it stays that way. Red Knight!"

"Your majesty wish's something of me, yes?" The Knight said, turning to face to queen.

"You shall take a patrol over to see the Rebels. Note anything out of the ordinary."

"Anything your majesty wish's"

...

"We should probably be getting underway..." Red said, as he noticed the winds changing.

"Oh, come on! It's been ages since we've all just stopped for some tea." Cheshire said. Taking another sip.

"But I've got a bad feeling. And the sooner we do this the sooner we can end this war.."

"But just look at Alice." Cheshire said, pointing to the now sleeping figure. She had fallen asleep quiet a while ago. nobody really noticed as they were all talking.

Then they all heard something. It sounded like...horses. That couldn't be good. Red got up from his chair as a patrol of Cardspawn, the Red Queen's guards, came into sight. When Cheshire saw them, she did as Red had. When the horses came to a stop at there table, they knew they were in trouble when they saw the Red Knight himself.

"Well, looks like you are having a party without me, no?" He asked getting off his horse. Hatter nudged Hawke, and she woke up with a sleepy yawn. She looked around, and noticed what looked like Darkspawn in fancy cloths.

"Hello, Zevran. What are you doing here? Aren't you meant to be busy being the Red Queen's lap dog?" Cheshire said. That smile still on her face.

Hawke look at the stranger with sleepy eyes. They made eye contact and he smiled.

"Now, now. I am simply here as a friend, nothing more." He said as he moved over to Hawke, making her stand up. Alistair, not wanting to raise suspicion, let him passed. "What a lovely lady. I do not remember you being here last time I visited." He said, grabbing her hand and placing his lips on her knuckles.

She looked over to Red, and he mouthed, 'Don't tell him your Alice'. She sighed a bit on the inside. "I'm kinda new to this little group." She said as he straightened up. She noted the two daggers on his back.

"Where are you from?" He asked out of the blue. Everyone else knew that if she answered this wrong then there screwed.

"That's kinda personal." She said. "Isn't it? We barely know each other. Its a bit strange if you ask me such questions." Red let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding.

"Haha! That is very clever."

"I'm the clever kind of person. My name is Ferren Hawke. And you are?"

"Ah, lovely name. I am Zevran Arainai."

"Pleasure."

"Oh, but the pleasure is all mine." He studied the girl, and noted the blond hair going past her knees and fringe almost completly covering her right eye. And her strange orange eyes. Just as was predicted. He thought

"Now, what do you really want?" Hare asked. Zevran looked to the red head, and smiled.

"Well, I guess there will be no hiding it. I was sent here to see if you had found a special girl." He looked to Hawke. "And it appears you have.." Just then he disappeared, then reappeared behind Hawke. He then grabbed her as Red was getting out his sword and shield. Zevran then transported to his patrol, giving the order to kill the rebels. The party soon turned into a battle, as Hare got out her sword and shield and charged at the guards. She knocked it down, while Hatter pelted bolts at them with his crossbow, and Cheshire took them down with her daggers. Red went straight for the Knight, but was blocked by three Cardspawn. Zevran obtained rope from his pack, and attempted to tie Hawke up. But she punched him straight in the jaw.

"Leave me alone!" She said. He just shrugged it off, sweeping Hawke's legs, and making her fall down. Red knocked down the last guard, and was going for the Knight next, but then a cloud of smoke appeared. Hawke screamed as she was stabbed in the leg. She could feel herself being picked up, and being thrown onto something. She tried to move, but couldn't due to the leg injury. "Let me down!"

"I am sorry, my dear. But I can not let you leave." Zevran said, mounting the horse Hawke had been put on, and quickly retreating.

"He's getting away!" Hare yelled over the fray. Red looked at the horse that was now moving away, and noticing the person on the back.

"He's got Alice!" He said, as he took out the last Cardspawn.

"Is that all of them?" Hatter asked. Red nodded. "Well, that's good. Bianca hadn't gotten a workout that big since...Well, I can't even remember." He said, putting Bianca away, and sitting down. Red went to go sit down as well.

"What are we going to do? They have Alice!" He said. Putting away his weapons. Hare sat back down, along with Cheshire.

"Calm down! Listen, knowing Zevran he won't harm a hair on her pretty little head. Unless he really has changed." Cheshire said. Red shacked his head slowly.

"He has. I saw a leg injury on Alice. If it's not healed soon...There is a large chance she could die of blood loss." He sighed.

"Well, you better go after him then. As soon as possible!" Hare said. "I will go with you."

"No you aren't, Hare." Hatter said. She was about to say why when he interrupted her. "Because, if your not there when me and dormy go to the white castle, then there's a good chance were gonna get captured. The plan is, Red, and Cheshire will go get Alice before she gets to the Red Queen's palace, then they are to head to the White Queen's castle. The rest of us are patiently gonna go straight to the White Queen, and tell her what happened. If we all stick to that, then we are bound to be fine." He said. They all nodded.

"Lets go then!" Cheshire said. Getting up from her seat, and grabbing Red. "See you at the Castle!" She said as they walked away.

"Good luck." Hatter said.

Good luck to you all...
