I am not planning to list the episodes I mention at the start like I usually do, especially since I'm referring to several episodes. Instead, if you want to know when something happens, leave a review and I'll answer either by a private message, or, for guest users, I'll say the episode before the next chapter.
It was a normal day in the castle. Amber was just sitting on her bed, reading. Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," Amber said.
The door opened, and Sofia was there. "Oh, hi, Sofia," Amber said.
"Can we talk?" Sofia asked.
Amber put her book down. "Of course," she said. "What is it?"
"It's about my amulet," Sofia said.
"Oh?" Amber said, interested. "What about it?"
"It's magical," Sofia said. "I know it's hard to believe, but it's true,"
Amber thought for a moment. Cedrick did seem interested in it. After all, Cedrick said that he needed the amulet to turn her back to normal after a spell made her into a butterfly, and he tried to use the amulet in a magic show when he entertained their friends during a slumber party.
"I believe you," Amber said. "What does it do?"
"Well, it lets me talk to animals and princesses come when I need help," Sofia explained. "It also cursed me by making me croak like a frog when I bragged too much about singing the Enchancia national anthem, but the curse ended when I made it up to Ruby and Jade," Sofia explained.
"So the amulet's magic made Princess Jasmine appear to help us with our flying carpet?" Amber asked, intrigued.
Sofia nodded. "It's not just her," she said. "Cinderella came when I accidentally cast a spell to make everyone at the ball fall asleep. She was actually the one who encouraged me to ask you for help."
"Sofia, this is big news," Amber gasped. "Did you tell anyone?"
"Well, Clover knows, and the princesses they came because of my amulet," Sofia answered. " And Mr. Cee-drick seems to know that my amulet is magical, but I think he only knows about the curse. Other than that, I haven't told anyone."
"Why not?" Amber asked.
"I was afraid that people would try to take it away from me," Sofia said. "I mean, what if Mom and Dad found out about it and decided that the amulet was dangerous, so they take it from me?"
"That makes sense," Amber said. "And if the kids at school found out, they might try to take the amulet."
"Exactly, Sofia said. "But I knew I could trust you. You refused to take my amulet even though it was needed for you to turn back to normal after you were turned into a butterfly by a spell."
"Even though it turned out I didn't need it," Amber said. "After all, if the fairies could easily turn me back to normal without the amulet, why couldn't Cedrick?"
"That's actually why wanted to tell someone about the amulet," Sofia said. "Mr. Cee-drick usually suggests that I should give him my amulet when I ask him for help, even though I told him that I promised Dad I'll never give it up."
"Listen, Sofia," Amber said. "I think that Cedrick wants the amulet for himself."
"He wouldn't try to take my amulet," Sofia argued. "He's my friend."
"I know it's hard to believe," Amber said gently, placing a hand on Sofia's shoulder. "But think about it. Many of his suggestions when something goes wrong involves giving him the amulet."
"That's true," Sofia said. "He suggested that I give him the amulet when it cursed me even though Belle suggested to make it right. And he does ask for it quite a bit even though I told him I'm not willing to take it off. But why would he try to steal my amulet?"
"If it is magical, then maybe Cedrick plans to use its magic for his own gain," Amber suggested.
"Maybe," Sofia said. "But what should we do? I don't want to tell Mom and Dad about the amulet."
"Let's talk to Cedrick and make him explain everything," Amber said.
Sofia nodded. "Thanks for helping me," she said.
"Of course," Amber said. "No one messes with my sister. Now let's go."
They left Amber's room and began walking to Cedric's room. Amber was holding back her anger. If Cedrick was trying to take advantage of her sister, then he had some explaining to do.
