The Way to his Heart
Chapter 1
Sofia woke up to the sun shining through her bay window. With a loud hearty yawn she stretched. All was peaceful and quiet… that is until Amber busted through doors. Startled Sofia flailed her arms with a cry. "Amber, what's wrong are we being attacked?" she said with wide eyes. "Of course not Sofia, don't be silly Enchancia has been peaceful for the past five centuries." Amber said looking at her nails. "Ok… then what's up?" Sofia said with one eyebrow raised.
"Princess Luna is coming home!" She squealed. "Princess Luna?" Questioned Sofia. "Ohhhh, that's right you arrived here two years after she left." Said Amber. "Well, who is she?" Sofia's interests were now peaked. "She's James and I's older sister." Amber stated simply. "Older sister, since when do you have an older sister?" She asked more confused than ever. "Last I checked for about thirteen years." Amber said.
Sofia remained silent, Amber sensing the tension decided to change the subject. "Breakfast will be served in ten minutes." She smiled while closing the door.
~After a very awkward Breakfast~
Sofia headed up to Cedrick's workshop, with heavy thoughts weighing on her mind. For the past five years Cedrick and Sofia had become friends, not close friends but friends none the less. Sofia knocked slowly, she heard the familiar mumble and shuffle of Cedrick on the other side of the door. "Come in." said the gruff voice. Sofia entered and smiled sadly. "What's got you down princess?" She questioned. "How did you know I was upset?" She asked. "You didn't call me like you usually do." He stated. "Well, something has been bothering me…" She delayed. "Well come on out with it." Cedrick demanded without turning from his cauldron. "I feel left out, Amber told me today that would have been nice to know a long time ago…" She delayed again. "And that is?" Said Cedrick. "The fact that I have another sister." Sofia said eyes casted down. "Ah, so queen Miranda is with child." He said simply.
"What?! No!" Sofia exclaimed. "Merlin's Mushrooms Sofia, what's wrong." He said with frustration never ceasing his potion making. "I mean, Princess Luna is supposed to be coming home… tomorrow I guess." She said shuffling back and forth on her feet. Cedric abruptly stooped his work, Sofia didn't need to see his face to know he was shocked. "P-princess Luna's… coming home…" He Stammered. "Mr. Ceeedrick, is everything alright?" Sofia said with concern. "I-I need to sit down…" He said his face pale. "Mr. Ceeedrick, who is Princess Luna?" She asked.
"She was my best friend the only person in this castle, until you came along, who really cared about me." He said sadly. Sofia was silent. "She went away six years ago, I have not the slightest reason why either." He said sadly. Sofia felt sorry for her friend. "The thing is though", He started. "I said some very cruel things to her the day before her departure." "Why?" Sofia asked. "I was hurt, she was abandoning me, that's what I used to think." He said looking down at his old shoes. "I'm sure she had a perfectly good explanation." She said.
"I suppose you're right, well you should be headed down stairs help your family prepare for her arrival." He said resuming what he had left off of with his potions. "Alright, see you soon Mr. Cedrick." Said Sofia. With that the sorcerer was left in his lonely world to ponder the upcoming events.
~Outside of the Castle~
After six long years I was finally home. It felt strange, almost foreign. But home was home I'm glad to see my family again. However there was one skeleton in the closet I was not looking forward to seeing…
