When Sofia came to, she was in a dimly lit room. Her vision cleared and she noticed that she was in a dungeon of some sorts. Then all of the events from earlier started to get clearer.
All of the sudden the door creaked open, to reveal Jason. He had a grin and he was hiding something behind his back.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Jason looked at her, "I told you, I needed your help."
"You could have just asked me! Why go to all of the trouble of kidnapping me?"
Jason smiled, "My kingdom is feeling quite crowded, so my father and I figured that Enchancia has plenty of room. Why not "borrow" a few acres?"
"I don't think my dad would give land away."
Jason chuckled, "That's why we have you Princess."
"But why…"
"ARE YOU THAT STUPID?!"
Sofia jumped,"What?"
"You're a hostage!"
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Bailywick had notified everyone of dinner, except Princess Sofia. He had looked everywhere for her and simply could not find her.
"Your majesties, I cannot find Princess Sofia!"
Rolland and Miranda shared a look. Miranda was the first to speak up.
"Sofia went to a friend's house after school; she went to help them with their magic homework. Has she not come back?"
Rolland looked concerned,"Baileywick, inform the guards to be on the lookout for Sofia. Do we know whose house Sofia went to?"
Amber and James looked at each other. Amber was the first to speak.
"She went to Jason's house."
Roland was shocked."As in Jason of Sempermalum?!"
The rest of the royal family was startled.
"The last time I checked Sempermalum was in the middle of a civil war!"
Miranda gasped, "Rolly, are you sure?! Sofia could be in real danger!"
"The kingdom of Sempermalum is in the middle of a crisis, they cannot feed everyone in the kingdom. I would imagine that the kingdom is in an uproar. If Sofia is there it's possible that we may be getting dragged into the war."
At this everyone gasped.
"But your majesty, what are we supposed to do?! If Sofia is over there it might be near impossible to get her back! We don't even know where she is!" Bailywick exclaimed.
Roland sighed, "I'm afraid we'll just have to wait. Ther-"
"Daddy, we just can't wait around here! Sofia could be hurt or worse!" Amber cut in.
"I agree with Amber! We have to do something!" James added.
Miranda smiled sadly, "Kids, I'm afraid your fathers right. We don't have any reason to think that Sofia has been kidnapped. She could've been lost or late, or an accident might've occurred. We'll send word over to Sempermalum to see whether or not Sofia is okay."
"Miranda is right, why don't you kids go get ready for bed?"
James and Amber shared a look.
"I guess we'll go." Amber says indifferently.
James smiled. "Night!"
Amber and James head to their rooms.
"James, why are you smiling?! Sofia could be in danger!" Amber exclaimed throwing her hands in the air.
James only grinned."Mom and Dad will have Sofia home in no time! We just have to be patient."
Amber snorted."Dad can't always work miracles. I'm just afraid that this "civil war" could turn into something even bigger!"
James chuckled, "C'mon Amber! You're making something out of nothing!"
"Watch what you say, you never know when that something will turn into something. Goodnight James." Tutted Amber.
"Night Amber!" amused James waved goodnight.

Meanwhile, back in the dining hall dessert was being served.
Miranda and Rolland were absently eating their parfaits, they were beginning to realize the dilemma they were in.
Miranda was the first to speak. "Rolly, what if they don't know where Sofia is?"
Rolland sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, "Honestly Miranda, I don't know."
Miranda frowned, "That's what I was afraid of."
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Sofia screamed.
She was in chains, facing the wall. She tried to calm herself, but her back was killing her.
"C'mon Princess! You must have some information about the castle!" Jason yelled. He flicked the whip again.
Sofia whimpered. Little did he know, she knew almost everything about the castle and more. Sofia knew she couldn't tell him that though.
"I don't know anything! Please! Let me go!" Sofia begged, "I won't tell them what happened here."
Jason looked surprised for a moment before quickly turning to rage.
"YOU WON'T TELL THEM? YOU WON'T TELL THEM?" Jason started to laugh. Then as quickly as that had come, he was serious again. "Liar"
Sofia smiled, "Sorry, but what you're doing is not right. Please stop this! If you had just asked Enchancia for help we could-"
"They won't help!" Jason screamed pointing to the door, "It's in the 'rules' to not interfere with any interior problems any kingdom is facing. SO stop trying to help and give me the information before we decide to just storm the castle! After you give us the information we'll let you go."
Sofia kept silent.
Jason whipped her again, and again. For how long, Sofia didn't know but once it did stop it was silent.
Jason sighed, "Oh Sofia, you poor girl!" He started to walk around to face her. He grabbed her face digging his nails into her skin, she yelped.
"I'll give you three hours! Three! To think about the offer, until then." He started to walk away when he suddenly turned around and punch her in the face.
Sofia only looked down at her feet and whimpered. The door suddenly popped open and Jason looked towards the door.
A guard entered, "Prince Jason, the King would like to see you."
Jason groaned," Tell him I'm coming after I wash up."
The guard nodded and then looked at Sofia, his eyes widening.
Jason, irritated, exclaimed" The message has been delivered, get out!"
The guard, startled, walked quickly out of the room forgetting to close the door.
Jason sighed and walked towards the door, pausing to turn back and look at Sofia. "Think about the offer? I don't like hurting you." He then walked out, closing the door.
