I'm excited to bring you a much longer chapter!

I'll be introducing some new characters!

Disclaimer I only own Grace, Annie, Marc, Lavender, and Mulberry.

Grace POV

I looked out in front of my door to find my one one and only captor. "What do you want?" I shoved him out of my way and locked the door. I started running down the hall, and down the stairs. I got to the bottom floor of the complex and ran out into the streets. I saw people backing away from me as I ran past, but it was not normal at all. Their eyes grew red, and the too ran after me. Not a spell! I could see a girl weaving her way through the spellbound crowd, her hair was light purple. "Stop!" she shouted and held out the wand in her hand, instantly the people stopped running after me and went on with their day. Annie ran behind the girl "Lavender! I'm glad I found you!" "I saved this girl, does she look familiar to you?" "Grace!" She hugged me and started to smile. "So, who are you?" I asked the girl. "I'm Lavender." "Nice to meet you." I offered my hand and she shook it. "I'll help you." I smiled "Thank you." I took Lavender to the apartment, and she was shocked. "This is very nice." she tells me. "Yeah, it is" In less than a minute later, the doorbell rang. "I'll answer it" Annie says. A little girl with a also purple hairdo, ran inside "Hi!" she shouts."Hello Mulberry!' Lavender replies, laughing. "You have a sister?" "Yes, I'm 18 and Mulberry is 5. Our parents died in a explosion when Ludwig invaded." "Not him again!" "Grace, it's always him. Get used to it." "He was looking for you." She pointed to me. "I don't know why he would invade the Griffin Kingdom, you've never been there in your life. I can see it in your eyes." "The Griffin Kingdom? I've never heard of it." "Alright Grace, I'll tell you. Our ruler is a lion named Leo, he's a very kind ruler. But Leo only focuses on the capital city, Phlox. Phlox has some small town values. Very mean people, I used to go to school there. I hated it, but I couldn't protest." "I see, but why have a lion rule your kingdom? Is he a special lion?" "No, all lions are like that in the Griffin Kingdom." I went over to Mulberry, and hugged her. She started to play with my hair. "Pretty!" she shouts, I start to laugh. "I need to avenge my parents, you need to avenge your childhood." Lavender tells me. "Alright, lets get started".

Ludwig POV

I paced back and forth, thinking of Wendy, I was betrayed. I had no choice, I went to my little brother, my youngest brother. I never liked or cared for Bowser Jr, he stole my role as second in command, my father no longer cared for me because of him. I knocked on his bedroom door. "Hi!" "Hello." I reply."Cmon in!" I step in only to find that his toys were scattered everwhere."What do you want Ludo?" He asks "I don't know really. Wendy betrayed us, and Grace is missing." "I'll help you! On one condidtion." "What is it, my fellow brother?" "Take me to the Griffin Kingdom!" "Why there? It's just full of lions and purple headed freaks." "I just wanna go! King Dad won't let me go!" "Fine, but you must listen to one of my symphonies." "Fine! It's a deal." And we shake hands, for the first time. I walk away wondering what I just put myself into.

Grace POV

"Hugs!" Mulberry shouted, wearing my Pikachu hat. "That hat is mine!" I steal it from her and put it on my head. "Noo! But I looove it!" "Mulberry, I'll get you one later!" Lavender says, "Grace is supposed to be packing." I put my food rations and water in my spare backpack, then I put in a coat and clothes. "All you need is LOVE!" Mulberry sings. "Hey!" I could hear Marc's voice calling me. "Hi!" I hug him, I could see a backpack slung across his shoulder. "Ya know I'm coming?" "I do now!" We start laughing, and Mulberry and Lavender come in. "You must be Grace's significant other. I'm Lavender and this is Mulberry." "Nice to meet you, I like your hair." "I know, you don't see purple hair everyday." "Where's Annie?" "I'm right here! Why are you guys always leaving me out?" "We're not leaving you out Annie, you're not coming." We wait for Mario and Luigi, who never bother to show up when we need them. "Oh, you're leaving so soon?" Mario says when he comes in. "Yeah, we have things to avenge." "Oh cool." He hugs each of us and watches us walk out the door.. We went out into the streets and crossed, Abbey Road style. We ran towards a vacant parking garage, and got into a small car, a Kia. It was green and it looked like a cube. "Got everything?" "Yeah!" Lavender put her hands on the steering wheel, she had licence, and we rode out of Brooklyn and into the unknown. "Where are we going?" I asked, out of curiousity. "Indiana." "Why?" "It's very safe, and also not very many people live there. Perfect hiding place." "Where in Indiana?" "I don't know... A town called Grabill, a farm town." "Nice." I looked out the window, reading the sign that says "Welcome to Pennsylvania!" "YAY!" Mulberry shouted. We all smiled, and laughed, Mulberry is so adorable. "So, will we have to go to school now?" Annie asked "Yes we do!" "Oh great, more annoying people to deal with." Marc says. "But it hides us, if Ludwig finds us first. We'll be protected." "What school?" "I don't know." Lavender tells us. "Mulberry will go to a different school though, for obvious reasons." "Duh!" I shout "You wanna listen to music?" "Sure. What music do we have?" I start to smile "I have every single Beatles and Led Zeppelin album." "Of course you do!" "And I have some Wings cds." "Wings At The Speed Of Sound!" Lavender screams "I' ve never seen you so happy about music before." Marc tells her. "I know!" "Let's listen to it!" We pull into the nearest gas station, get some gas, and pick our favorite cds. Wings At The Spped Of Sound, Physical Graffiti, Magical Mystery Tour, Brothers, and The Doors make the list. We ride down the road, singing silly love songs.

Ludwig POV

I could clearly see Bowser Jr wasn't enjoying my end of the deal, he covered his ears as my masterpiece played for him. I stopped conducting and the band went into a complete halt. "It's done now, fellow sibling." He stops covering his ears. "Thank god! Come on! I could find Grace for you!" "Seriously?" "For a little bit." He leads me into a room with a crystal ball, and he moves his hands in a odd way. "Look!" I could see Grace, Annie, Marc, and two purple headed people I didn't recongize. I could hear all of their voices, singing along to "Silly Love Songs". They were in a car, but I didn't know where, but I was excited, to see her live whereabouts in a small crystal ball. "Time's up!" "What already?" I ask my brother. "Yeah! You can only do this when the moon is full." "You're kidding!" I was furious "No. I'm sorry Ludo." "Don't be." I walked away, I hate magic. It always has that twist that ruins everything. I walked back to my room and turned on the radio, and turned it on. Only to find The Beatles, singing a song about heartbreak, I started to sing with them. I had no reason too, but I did anyway.
