SEQUEL TIME! SEQUEL TIME! I have nothing else to say, so let's get this started!
Hello there, Roland! You and your foolish sorcerer will regret what you did to me! Your sorcerer will die, and Amber and James will be imprisoned for the rest of their pitiful, pathetic, useless lives! You and your precious queen will beg for mercy at my feet! And your youngest daughter, Princess Sofia, well… I have special plans for her…!
Sofia jumped up in her bed. It was storming outside. The only light that shone upon the kingdom was the moon. A lighting bolt cracked across the sky. She rested her head back on her soft pillow and attempted to get back to sleep, but couldn't. So she got out of bed and put on her robe. She walked through the castle, which was dark and barren. She continued walking, not thinking about where she wanted to go. Soon, she heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen. She approached the door.
"Thank you, Baileywick!" the voice said. Whoever was speaking was obviously talking to Baileywick.
"Your welcome!" Baileywick said. Sofia opened the kitchen door and found Roland walking towards the dining hall, a plate of bowl in his hand. Sofia followed closely behind him.
"Ah! Nothing like a midnight snack before another day of ruling a kingdom!" Roland said as he picked up a spoon and starting eating jiggly wiggly pudding.
"Dad…?" Sofia said. Roland turned around.
"Sofia?" Roland said as he stood up and walked over to her, "What are you doing up? It's 1:30 in the morning."
"I just had a nightmare and couldn't get back to sleep. Is it okay if I stay up with you?" Sofia said
"Of course it is, Sofia," Roland said as he brought her to sit at the table.
"Thank you, dad," Sofia said as she sat down.
"What was the nightmare?" Roland asked.
"It was just a voice talking. Nothing but blackness and the voice. The voice was familiar and swore revenge on our family and Mr Cedric," Sofia said. She hesitated to tell him that the voice had special plans for her. Roland stopped eating and looked at his youngest daughter, for he could tell she was hiding something.
"You're hiding something else from your nightmare. What is it?" Roland asked. Sofia just looked at him with a hesitant face.
"You can tell me, Sofia," Roland said as he held her hand assuringly. Sofia tightly gripped her amulet.
"The voice from my dream said it had special plans for me…" Sofia said.
Roland looked back down at his bowl and continued eating, not knowing what to say.
Morning arrived and the sunlight streamed into Sofia's room. Sofia was sleeping as hard as a rock on her bed, for she had fallen asleep at 1:45 last night. A shadowy figure approached. It grabbed her comforter and pulled it up farther up Sofia's body. It brushed Sofia's hair.
"I won't touch you now," it said, "but your family will be hurt! And after that is when I come after YOU!" After leaving a note beside her, it left. Just after the shadow disappeared, Baileywick walked in. He came to wake up Sofia. Before he could awaken her, he saw the note. He picked it up.
"Oh dear…!" Baileywick said, alarmed. He ran out of the room. He went to the throne room.
"Ah! Baileywick! I was wonder-!"
"So sorry, your majesty! But I found this note next to Princess Sofia!" Baileywick said as he handed Roland the note.
"That's…" Roland started, "…disturbing…"
"I know!" Baileywick said.
"Triple the guards and make sure ALL of them are protecting Sofia…! I don't want her going ANYWHERE with at least TWO guards watching her!" Roland said.
"I'll tell that to Constable Myles right away!" Baileywick said as he ran off.
Later in the day, Sofia woke to see two guards looking at her.
"Um… hi…" Sofia said.
"Your father said you are not to go anywhere without at least two guards watching you!" one of the guards said.
"Why?" Sofia asked.
"Baileywick found a disturbing note," the second guard said. He handed her the note.
You, my precious princess, will regret what you did with my magic scepter! You are my main target right now! Your family, I will not touch! You and your sorcerer, however, will pay! I am no longer after your kingdom; but I am after YOU! I warn you, be on your guard! But this time, I am not alone!
Signed
-Kapral Moriarty-
Sofia just stared at the note.
"He. He. He's returned. He was the voice inside my dream!" Sofia said. She got out of bed and got dressed.
"I need to get Mr Cedric!" She said. She ran off, the two guards following her.
"Alright, Wormwood!" Cedric said. He had just finished a painting of him and Wormwood.
"What do you think? Should I hang it up?" Cedric asked. Wormwood looked at the painting before finally making a decision.
"Could be better, could be worse. But overall, it's good. It's worth hanging in the workshop," Wormwood said.
"Great! Then that's what I'll do!" Cedric said. He hung it up on the wall. There was a knock at the door.
"Come in, Sofia," Cedric said. Sofia walked in with the two guards.
"Um. What's up with the guards?" Cedric asked.
"I can't go anywhere unless I have two guards watching me," Sofia said.
"Um. Why's that?" Cedric asked once more. One of the guards handed him the note. He read it over.
"Merlin's Mushrooms… That's disturbing…!" Cedric said.
"I know! So I need your help! Please!" Sofia said. Cedric nodded determinedly.
"The first thing we need to do is-!" Before he could finish his sentence, the guards accompanying Sofia disappeared in green smoke.
"Is that who I think it is?" Sofia asked.
"Yes!" Shuriki flew into the room via magic.
"Are YOU the one working with Kapral?!" Sofia asked.
"So you did get his note. I am glad. But there is one more person he is working with," Shuriki said.
"Who is he?" Sofia asked.
"That's classified… for now!" Shuriki said.
"Why are you even working with him?" Cedric asked. Shuriki stepped closer to Sofia, who backed up.
"We both want revenge her. As well as YOU!" Shuriki said.
Cedric looked at her for a brief moment.
"Don't you DARE touch her!" Cedric demanded. Cedric walked toward her, his family wand in hand.
"You wouldn't dare touch me with the princess near!" Shuriki said. She whistled loudly. A knight walked in.
"Sir Oliver?!" Sofia said, shocked.
"You know this guy?" Cedric asked. Sofia nodded.
"He tried to make himself look like a big hero by making friendly dragons attack him!" Sofia said.
"Yes! So I could become First Knight! But YOU stopped me!" Oliver said as he brought out his sword. He proceeded forward. He swung his sword at Sofia.
"Ocarios!" Shuriki said, pointing her wand at Oliver. Oliver's hands were held in place.
"That isn't the agreement! We are not to kill her!" Shuriki said.
"Of course! Sorry!" Oliver said as he sheathed his sword. Sofia backed against Cedric. Cedric brought out his family wand.
"Akodios!" Cedric said, pointing his wand at Shuriki. Shuriki was blown against a wall.
"You know the Dark Arts?" Shuriki said as she got to her feet. Cedric nodded as he pointed his wand at Shuriki. Shuriki merely smirked.
"How about I do… this?" Shuriki said, waving her wand in the air. The floor suddenly fell out from under them, sending them falling into what appeared to be a void.
