Dorrie: Book Two - a Sofia the First fanfic

Well, kids, here we are at the first chapter of "Dorrie: Book Two". For those who are new to this story, I'll provide a recap below (in Dorrie's own words) that will bring you up to speed as to what is going on. Those new to this story might want to check out my story "Dorrie" for all the finer points connected to it.

Chapter 1: A Time of Change

Recap

Hello. My name is Dorrie, and I'm an eleven-year-old girl currently living in Enchancia Castle. It's a fine life, and I couldn't ask for anything more.

How did I come to live in Enchancia Castle? I was an orphan whose parents were killed in a fire. While at the orphanage in the Village of Dunwitty, I pitched in and helped with cleaning and cooking. My good work ethic quickly came to the attention of the staff at Enchancia Castle. As good fortune would have it, I was brought to Enchancia Castle to work part time as a maid in training. I was assigned to work with the castle's head maid, Violet Cooper. Violet and I quickly became friends, and then Violet decided to adopt me. I was now Dorrie Cooper. I had a new mother, and a bright future. Life, quite frankly, was good.

Living at the castle brought rewards I never could have dreamed of. Not only was I a part time maid in training, but I was also given the opportunity to attend school in the village. For a former orphan, such opportunities were miracles upon themselves. But more opportunities came my way as well. In school, we were taught basic magic. At that time, it was discovered that I had a higher than normal magical power level. An investigation into my birth parents background revealed that they had been, in fact, a warlock and a witch connected to the magical House of Cosmarune which had been all but destroyed by the evil witch Neila and her followers. I was now witch nobility with the title of Lady Dorrie of House Cosmarune. But, that didn't change me. I still had my life at Enchancia Castle which was my first love. And that's exactly the way I wanted it.

Over time, I was no longer a maid in training, but instead a full maid with all the rights and responsibilities connected to the position. My good work ethic brought other rewards as well. I was soon put in charge of seeing to the needs of young princes and princesses visiting Enchancia Castle. And, as my magical abilities grew, I was given the special position of Royal Magician of Enchancia who performed at fairs, carnivals, orphanages, and fund raising events.

As my life continued, new friends came into my life. One of these new friends was a half-human/half-fairy teenage girl by the name of Danika who had a magical amulet. The evil creature Valtor wanted Danika's amulet for his own, and would stop at nothing to get it. At one point, Valtor even brought in Maleficent who, in turn, created an evil clone of me in an attempt to steal Danika's amulet. Too bad that clone was more good than evil, and who quickly thwarted Valtor and Maleficent's plans. I'm very pleased to say that the clone is now my dear sister, Candice, who lives with us in Enchancia Castle. You can tell us apart, however. While I have brown hair, Candice has blond hair.

Candice and I are as close as sisters could be. We also have our secrets that we keep to ourselves. The two of us, thanks to the Scarlett Warrior, each has a magical amulet. We are also Princess Sofia's helpers in the Secret Library. And, most important of all, we keep the secret of our dear adoptive mother, Violet. You see, Violet is in fact an undercover time traveler assigned to Enchancia Castle.

Candice and I have also found love in the form of boyfriends - I with Prince Frederick of Ornburgh, and Candice with Frederick's brother, Prince Everett of Ornburgh. As for school, Candice and I attend Hexley Hall, and we enjoy it very much. And, in regard to Enchancia Castle, Candice and I are both part time maids, are both Royal Magicians of Enchancia, and are both good witches and ladies of the House of Cosmarune.

Life is good, but it also has it's share of danger. Enchancia is currently under threat from Constance, who is one of Cedric's sisters (Cedric has two sisters - who know, huh?). Constance and her accomplice, Zahida, are out to cause as much evil as possible. It doesn't help matters that Constance was hit in the head by a magical blast which turned her bat crud crazy.

So, this is where we stand right now. Let the continuing adventures of myself, Candice, and our friends commence.

In the family way

It was now July at Enchancia Castle. In her room, Violet was getting ready for the day when the Amulet of Tlara around her neck, which she had been given custody of by Scarlett, suddenly started vibrating. Violet then pressed the bottom half of the amulet.

"Violet?" Scarlett's voice called over the other end.

"Yes, Scarlett?" Violet responded.

"I'm calling to report that I'm not going to be available to help for quite some time" Scarlett announced with some hesitance.

"Why ever not?" Violet asked.

"Well, you see ... I'm kind of pregnant" Scarlett revealed with a sigh.

"What?!" Violet asked, taken off guard. "How?!".

"Me and Hansel kind of had a meeting about Kaulder and we kind of ... yeah" Scarlett admitted.

"I don't know whether to be frightened or excited for you" Violet confessed.

"Be both" Scarlett advised. "As you know, for sorceresses as powerful as myself, being in a pregnant state weakens our magic. I'm not in the position to do battle with Constance and Zahida".

"What are we going to do?" Violet asked, concerned.

"Don't worry. Colette and Hematite are still at your beck and call" Scarlett reassured Violet. "And, you have the powers that Morena gave you when she died. You're becoming quite the skilled good witch".

A few hours later, in Cinnibar

Caitlyn, the sheriff of Cinnibar City, was sitting at a bar in Cinnibar City sipping on an ice cold beer and sighing.

"Nervous?" Colette, Queen Scarlett's royal steward, asked, putting down her vodka.

"Never" Caitlyn admitted. "It's just crazy around here. Queen Scarlett being pregnant, Constance and Zahida on the loose, you dating my brother. That's what I get for being sheriff, I suppose".

"Don't think you have it so hard. You're not a Cosmarune" Colette pointed out. "While we Cosmarune's are witch and warlock nobility, we have a proud history of service as well. But, service is hard work – not that I'm complaining. I wouldn't give it up for anything".

Caitlyn looked at Colette with an interested look.

"As royal steward of Cinnibar, I have to make sure that Scarlett's palace is run in an efficient manner" Colette continued. "I'm also Scarlett's secretary, as well as event planner, and supervisor of the help at the palace. It can be a full time job, and then some".

"Sounds like you'd need two sets of arms and legs sometimes" Caitlyn observed.

"It sometimes feels like that" Colette admitted. "But it also has it's rewards. There is a satisfaction in a job well done. Just ask Dorrie and Candice".

"And how are those two fine girls doing?" Caitlyn wanted to know.

"Having a grand time at Enchancia Castle" Colette smiled. "They both enjoy living and working there. By the way, Candice just got herself a plum assignment – being in charge of the guest reserve at the castle".

"Guest reserve?" Caitlyn asked, curious.

"A room in the castle where wines, teas, and prepackaged food such as cookies and crackers, are stored" Colette explained. "If a guest arrives at Enchancia Castle, thanks to the guest reserve, there is always something on hand to serve a guest at a moment's notice".

"A nice idea" Caitlyn said, impressed.

At that moment, a woman - Hematite - walked into the bar, and walked up to Caitlyn and Colette.

"Please, have a seat" Colette invited.

"Thank you" Hematite acknowledged as she sat down.

"How are things at the palace?" Colette asked.

"Nice and quiet" Hematite assured Colette.

"I suppose I should get back" Colette announced.

"You sit down" Hematite smiled. "Scarlett gave you the day off. And I can think of nobody more deserving of a day off than you".

"Yes, ma'am" Colette joked.

"Let's just have a fine time relaxing" Caitlyn suggested. "What will ya have, Hematite?".

"A whiskey sour" Hematite responded.

After Hematite's drink was brought over, the three women had a fine time talking to each other.

The next morning, at Enchancia Castle

In the servants area of the castle, Baileywick, Violet, Chef Andre, Dorrie, and Candice were sitting at a table.

"What's on the agenda this morning?" Baileywick asked.

"We're going to need some replacement cleaning supplies" Violet responded as she handed Baileywick a piece of paper.

"I'll have this taken care of today" Baileywick acknowledged.

"The kitchen will be needing a new frying pan in the near future" Chef Andre reported. "The handle is starting to become a bit loose on the one we are using now".

"I'll add that to the list of items to pick up when I go into the village today" Baileywick promised.

"We'll also need four bottles of wine for the guest reserve" Candice requested. "That will bring us back to a full wine inventory there".

"Consider it done" Baileywick responded.

"And Princess Amber is planning a slumber party sometime in the near future" Dorrie informed Baileywick. "The guest list is still in the works. When things are finalized, I'll supply you and Chef Andre with the details".

"Sounds good" Baileywick smiled.

As everybody got up from the table, Baileywick called Dorrie and Candice over to him.

"I understand the two of you have volunteered to be part of today's cleaning detail at the Post Medieval Art Museum?" Baileywick asked.

"Yes, Mr. Baileywick" Dorrie acknowledged. "The new building that the museum will move to is ready. It just needs a bit of cleaning to make it ready for the public".

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Baileywick" Candice smiled, "Dorrie and I are looking forward to getting a sneak peek at the art there. It's wonderful that Dunwitty was chosen as the new home for the museum".

"It is indeed" Baileywick happily said. "And it's nice to see the two of you taking an interest in art. I'm sure you'll find a lot of fine portraits to view".

About an hour later, Dorrie and Candice were inside the museum, and had been assigned to a gallery there. As the two started to do some dusting, a man's voice came from behind them.

"Would the two of you mind if I paint you working?" the man asked.

Dorrie and Candice turned around to see Bryce Twigley standing there.

"Mr. Twigley" Dorrie smiled. "It's nice to see you again".

"And it's nice to see you as well, Lady Dorrie" Bryce smiled back, before turning to Candice. "And you must be Lady Candice?".

"Guilty as charged, sir" Candice chuckled.

"A pleasure to meet you, young lady" Bryce said as he kissed Candice's hand. "I was at Enchancia Castle once, but that was before you came on the scene. I painted a series of scenes at the castle, including one of your mother and sister. Now I get to paint a scene of you and your sister at work. It will make a fine addition to the Enchancia Castle exhibit".

"You want a painting with me in it?" Candice asked, taken off guard.

"But, of course" Bryce reassured Candice. "You are as well known as your sister, and now I can capture your likeness on canvas. I am truly honored".

As Bryce painted Dorrie and Candice dusting, two women watched undetected from a vantage point on the floor above. The two women were Constance and her accomplice, Zahida.

"Look at her down there" Constance said in disgust about Candice. "Little miss queen goody two shoes".

"Her time will come" Zahida pointed out. "She'll pay eventually for turning against the dark powers".

At that moment, Constance and Zahida heard footsteps approaching. The two quickly brought out their wands, waved them over their heads, and disappeared in a puff of smoke. In a few moments, a woman - Cornelia Rose - walked into the gallery where Dorrie, Candice, and Bryce were.

"Cornelia" Dorrie and Candice said in glee.

"Dorrie, Candice" Cornelia smiled as she hugged the two.

"It's good to have you back in Dunwitty" Dorrie happily said to Cornelia.

"It's good to be back" Cornelia happily agreed, before turning somber. "I was sorry to hear that Danika and Jeremiah left Dunwitty. But, with Constance and Zahida on the loose, I can understand why".

"I take it you're moving back into your old house here?" Candice asked Cornelia.

"Yes" Cornelia acknowledged. "I'll be moving in this afternoon".

As Dorrie, Candice, and Cornelia talked, another woman walked up, said something to Cornelia, and left.

"I've got to be going, girls" Cornelia said to Dorrie and Candice. "As director of the Post Medieval Art Museum, I have a board meeting to attend. I'll see the two of you later".

As Cornelia walked off, Bryce continued painting Dorrie and Candice.

Evil plans

In the woods near Dunwitty, Constance and Zahida were talking among themselves.

"That Candice makes me sick!" Constance exclaimed in disgust. "She was evil, and she threw it away to be good!".

"Yes, it all changed when Maleficent created that brat" Zahida said of Candice. "That's when things went downhill. Danika Knight's amulet became harder to get, and Valtor got banished to the Omega Dimension. If Candice had remained evil, we would have had that amulet now, and we'd rule this land. But Candice had to save the day, and ruined our plans in the process".

"You're right, Zahida" Constance agreed. "It all changed when Candice came on the scene. And she must be made to pay for that!".

"But how?" Zahida wanted to know.

"Candice and that sister of hers visit the village on Saturdays to relax" Constance pointed out. "It will be the perfect time to strike".

"I like it" Zahida said with an evil chuckle.

Saturday

It was now Saturday morning in Dunwitty. As was their usual ritual, Dorrie and Candice walked toward the village square. As they walked along, the two sisters had a happy conversation. Suddenly, a magical bolt of energy came out of nowhere, hitting Dorrie in the process. Dorrie fell backwards as Zahida suddenly appeared in a puff of smoke and pointed her wand at Dorrie.

"My fight isn't with you … yet" Zahida said with a wicked grin, before turning to Candice. "It's payback time, you little traitor".

At that moment, Constance appeared in a puff of smoke, and pointed her wand at Candice.

"There you are" Constance said to Candice with evil, hungry eyes. "Do you have any last words?".

"Actually, yes" Candice grinned. "You're an idiot!".

Dorrie suddenly kicked Zahida in the leg, which sent Zahida falling. At that same moment, Candice lunged toward Constance. A physical fight then broke out between Dorrie and Zahida, and Candice and Constance.

"I love what you've done with your hair. How do you get it to come out of the nostrils like that?" Dorrie mocked at Zahida.

"Why you little!" Zahida shouted in anger as she brought her fist up.

Dorrie raised her wand, and commanded "Wallacus Appearo".

A brick wall appeared between Dorrie and Zahida just as Zahida was about to hit Dorrie. Zahida's fist hit the brick wall instead, causing Zahida to let out a high pitched scream. Zahida then fell to the ground as she held her fist in agony.

"Nice job, girl" a woman's voice came from behind Dorrie.

Dorrie turned around to see Maleficent standing there, holding her baby daughter, Mal, in her arms.

"What are you doing here!?" Dorrie demanded to know.

"I'm on your side, actually" Maleficent confessed. "Hold the baby. I have some business to take care of".

Maleficent handed baby Mal to Dorrie, then proceeded to walk over to where Candice and Constance were exchanging wicked fist blows with each other.

"And now I command, shovel to my hand!" Candice shouted as a nearby shovel flew into her waiting hand. Candice then swung the shovel at Constance, with Constance ducking just in time.

"What the hell!?" Constance exclaimed in shock.

"You wanted to see my dark side!? There! I hope you choke on it!" Candice yelled.

"That will be quite enough!" Maleficent sternly said as she walked up.

"Well, well, well" Constance mocked at Candice. "It looks like Maleficent herself wants a piece of you".

"I hate to burst your bubble" Maleficent chuckled at Constance, "but I'm in Candice's corner".

"What!?" Constance exclaimed in shock.

"Candice is my creation" Maleficent pointed out. "Granted, I'm not pleased with her siding with good, but she is my creation. And that makes her family".

"How dare you interfere!?" Constance shouted at Maleficent. "Who do you think you are!?".

"Maleficent, Mistress of all Evil" Maleficent mocked. "I've seen people like you before, but I had to pay admission".

"You filthy piece of slark!" Constance spat at Maleficent. "You'll pay for that insult!".

As Candice raced over to where Dorrie was standing with baby Mal, Maleficent locked her eyes onto Constance's eyes. As Maleficent and Constance's eyes met, their eyes started glowing as they began a magical staring contest. As the two stared each other down, their concentration was fixed on each other, and each other only. Suddenly, Maleficent's power became too strong for Constance, and Constance looked away, signaling the end of the contest. Maleficent had won.

"Weak willed idiot!" Maleficent mocked Constance.

Without warning, Constance raised her wand, and fired a powerful blast of magical energy at Maleficent's head. The blast forced Maleficent to the ground, rendering her unresponsive. Constance ran over to Zahida, grabbed Zahida, and waved her wand above her head. Constance and Zahida then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Candice, Dorrie, and some onlookers ran over to where Maleficent lay.

"Is she … dead?" a woman asked of Maleficent.

"I don't know" a man responded.

Baby Mal, in Dorrie's arms, started crying. Then, Maleficent's eyes opened as everybody gasped in shock.

"Is everybody all right?" Maleficent asked, concerned.

"Yes" Candice answered, taken aback by Maleficent's show of concern. After all, this was Maleficent, Mistress of all Evil, not Maleficent, the good.

"Mal?" Maleficent asked Dorrie.

"Right here" Dorrie responded as she handed Mal to Maleficent.

"It's all right" Maleficent reassured Mal as she gently rocked the baby in her arms. "Mommy's here". Maleficent then got a strange look on her face as she turned toward Candice. "Is this what it feels like to be good?".

"Yes" Candice smiled, sensing a change in Maleficent.

"What the!?" Dorrie exclaimed in shock.

"She's good" Candice said of Maleficent. "She's good".

"But how?" Dorrie wanted to know.

"When Constance shot Maleficent in the head with that magical blast, it must have changed Maleficent … for the better" Candice theorized.

Everybody looked at Maleficent in stunned silence.

One day later

In Dunwitty, at Cornelia Rose's house, Maleficent was talking to Cornelia.

"This is a generous offer" Maleficent smiled. "Are you sure you want to do this?".

"I'm very sure" Cornelia smiled back. "I want you and Mal to live here with me. You're starting over with a clean slate, and I'd like to help".

"Then, on behalf of me and Mal, I accept" Maleficent happily announced.

"Good" Cornelia happily acknowledged.

"It's strange" Maleficent started. "Up til yesterday, me having any kind of good thought was an alien concept to me. Now I'm being flooded with good thoughts. I have to admit, I rather like it. But I may need some help navigating through this new body of water".

"I'll be here for you" Cornelia smiled as she gently put her hand on Maleficent's shoulder. "We'll all be here for you".

Maleficent looked out the window at the blue sky outside, and smiled. It was beautiful. Life was beautiful. Being good was beautiful.

(End of Chapter 1).

Author's notes

"A few hours later, in Cinnibar" was the idea of Ben10Man (previously Jacob Voronkov) who also provided some of the dialog for that scene.

"A pleasure to meet you, young lady" Bryce said as he kissed Candice's hand. "I was at Enchancia Castle once, but that was before you came on the scene. I painted a series of scenes at the castle, including one of your mother and sister. Now I get to paint a scene of you and your sister at work. It will make a fine addition to the Enchancia Castle exhibit" - this is a reference to events seen in Chapter 14 of "Dorrie".

"And now I command, shovel to my hand!" - this was inspired by the And now I command, wand to my hand! spell seen in "Disney Descendants".

Baby Mal is the infant version of Mal from "Disney Descendants".

Bryce Twigley is originally from the "Sofia the First" episode "Clover Time".

Cornelia Rose is an original character created by A.t. for this story. Having Cornelia Rose return to the story was the idea of myself and SailorWednesdayMercury.

Danika Knight-Cook, and Zahida, are original characters created by SailorWednesdayMercury for this story.

"Don't worry. Colette and Hematite are still at your beck and call" Scarlett reassured Violet. "And, you have the powers that Morena gave you when she died. You're becoming quite the skilled good witch" - the part about Violet being a skilled witch is a reference to events seen in Chapter 37 of "Dorrie".

Hansel is from "Hansel & Gretel" Witch Hunters".

Having Maleficent return to this story was the idea of myself and SailorWednesdayMercury. Having Maleficent turn good was the idea of SailorWednesdayMercury. Having Maleficent and Mal move in with Cornelia was the idea of SailorWednesdayMercury.

I want to thank SailorWednesdayMercury for the help and ideas she has been providing for this story. Her continued help and ideas have been of great value, and I wanted readers to be aware of this.

"In the family way" was the idea of Ben10Man (previously Jacob Voronkov) who also provided much of the dialog for that scene.

Kaulder is from "The Last Witch Hunter". Adding Kaulder into this story was the idea of Ben10Man (previously Jacob Voronkov). For more about Kaulder's role in this story, see Chapters 47 and 48 of "Dorrie".

Maleficent, as seen in this story, is the Maleficent of old from "Sleeping Beauty". Bringing in Maleficent into "Dorrie" was the idea of SailorWednesdayMercury. In regard to Maleficent, readers of my stories might recall that Maleficent of the Moors is mentioned in Chapter 2 of my story "A Royal Rift". To clear things up, we'll consider Maleficent from "Sleeping Beauty", and Maleficent of the Moors from "Maleficent", to be two separate characters. To further clear things up, Maleficent in "Dorrie" is mostly the "Sleeping Beauty" version, but also has some elements of Maleficent from "Disney Descendants" added in (such as Maleficent with child, and her way of talking).

Slark: a curse word I created for use in my "Sofia the First" stories - a way of swearing without actually swearing as it were (sort of like how shtako is used in the SyFy TV series "Defiance").

The magical staring contest between Maleficent and Constance was inspired by the magical staring contest between Maleficent and a then teenage Mal seen in "Disney Descendants".

The Omega Dimension, and Valtor, are from "Winx Club".

The Scarlett Warrior (A.K.A. Scarlett) (A.K.A. Queen Scarlett) (A.K.A. Queen Scarlett Katherine Felchenerow) is a character created by Ben10Man (previously Jacob Voronkov), and is used in my stories with permission from Ben10Man. Meanwhile, the character of Colette is a character that I and Ben10Man created, and is based on Bayonetta from the video game "Bayonetta" (please note that Colette, and Madam Collette of Enchancia Castle, are two different characters who are not related in any way, shape, or form).

Wallacus Appearo is a spell I created for this chapter.

Inside Dorrie's world

Now that we're on "Dorrie: Book Two", I'm starting a new end of chapter feature called "Inside Dorrie's world" that takes you behind the scenes as it were.

In "Dorrie", we know that Violet is a time traveling Voyager who is assigned to Enchancia Castle on an undercover basis. We also know from "Dorrie" that an alternate Princess Diana is a specialty Voyager specializing in royal history. In Dorrie's world, there are two additional specialty Voyagers. One of them is a slightly older Dixie McCall from "Emergency!" who specializes in medical history. The other is Annie's adoptive mother from "Family", Kate Lawrence, who specializes in classical music history.
