I tried to compose myself after I herd something me that... to say the least scared me senseless..
"Attention all prey. Welcome to Wonderland. I the Queen of Hearts have decided to start a game. All those wearing dog tags please note you're cards value. Those who have higher cards will be worth more points. Your heads will all be mine! Cower and hide all you want but your death will find you! The game begins...NOW!"
...... S-she wasn't serious was she..?! I felt my stomach drop as flashes of what could happen rushed through my head; none of them pleasant.
So that's what I'm doing here!? Being hunted for fun!? I grabbed my head, trying to self sooth myself even enough to just THINK,... OK she said my dog tag has something to do with... value..?
I examined my tag again. *I do remember there being a number...* I proved myself right, there was a number 6 on my tag. OK does this mean I'm worth six points or something..? No that wasn't it. My tag was a playing card, so I was a six in the deck, not a high value so I suppose some of the pressures off... My eyes widened. Wait a minute. she said all prey! That means there are more people being hunted?
I looked around, but how many people? I hope they were OK.. It was bad enough I was stuck here, I'd hate to think if other people were too.
I looked up at the tree tops. I guess the forest is a safe place to be, more places to hide and harder to move around. But it was also harder to find other players here. But maybe that was a good thing..? I mean it's harder hunting down each person rather then just finding a group, she would kill lots of birds with one stone.
I groaned. My better nature tells me to stay here but my mind can't help but pry into the logic of that *If I stay here doing nothing it's only a matter of time before every one gets killed, nothing last forever, I suppose the best route of action was to turn the tables on the queen before we paid the ultimate price.*
My guess is the other players thought of that as a good decision too, there's no other way really, ether that or try to get out of the whole place. But my mind was telling me the queen wouldn't take the risk of hunting us down if she knew we had a escape route. If that's right and that's the only choice here I suppose finding comrades was a good thing.
I frowned. I wish the queen didn't do this to us, I hated the thought of death, even in a person who wanted it for me. I tried to distract myself from my thoughts and looked for a light outside the forest. I found it and walked towards it.
I had mixed feelings about this, but against my worrying ways I stepped out into the open.

OK I figured that was the best course of action, and for anyone who might find King remember he's quite... OK to the point of him NOT being able to talk without calming down. He has bad nerves from bullies D:>. And he's a little slow to think when he's nervous ^^;.
