Chapter Eleven

Brooklyn's Punishment: A new task

Brooklyn knew what was coming. He had let the Queen down, this was his last chance and he totally blew it. He was currently located in the basement of his Queen's castle. He knew where he had to go. He left the basement and walked up the stairs… all 520 of them.

He remembered when Queen Ariana had the stairs. She wanted 520 stairs exactly. Truth be told they had 519 at the time but the bottom stair was altered to make two.

The man got to keep his head. Although he was fired.

He stood outside the tall, strong double doors that blocked Ariana from the world she ruled.

"Brooklyn… do you know why I summoned you?" The Queen's booming voice roared though the door. He opened it and walked in, his head held low. Lower than low.

And Ariana would make sure he felt it. She'd make him feel it. After, chances are he'd feel like SHIT!

Maybe he'd get to keep his head… then again, knowing Ariana it was a strong possibility.

He carefully and slowly walked up to her thrown. He had to admit it was an impressive thrown. It was gold and had red velvet seating. Sitting on it was he Queen, Ariana. She had reddish hair that was short with two long red braids tied with yellow string and blue feathers attached to the ends. She had far set blue eyes and an angelic face. She wore snowy glittery eye shadow and pale blush. Basically it was a mistake to misjudge her.

She was sitting wit her legs over the arm rest. She was so rebellious.

Brooklyn opened his mouth to talk.

"Never mind, I'll tell you because you are far too incompetent to figure it out yourself," Ariana spat angrily. The jewels that were sewn into

Brooklyn was so ashamed of himself.

"If I had a little longer," Brooklyn said.

"You had three days!" Ariana said.

"It's not my fault they were late," Brooklyn said.

"I'm sick of your excuses!" Ariana screamed throwing her glass at Brooklyn's head.

"If I want the universe I need you to stop being incompetent and get out of my life! I need a new plan because you screwed my first one up! GO and if I ever see your face again… I swear…" Ariana screamed, swinging herself into upright. She hoisted herself off her chair.

"BROOKLYN! Do you have any idea how stupid I- ME! Feels right now? I put my faith in YOU! When YOU fail. I fail! Do you understand the importance of your success?" Ariana cried.

"I need to universe! Do you know what happened to my grandmother?

Because of her older brother her world- THIS world was sent into utter darkness and despair because he was power hungry and evil. If people were protected from people like them the world would be a better place no?" Ariana asked, as she paced the room. Her lace up boots made clicking noises when they made contact with the marble that broke the silence that now took over the room.

Not pleasant silence but awkward silence.

Eep.

Brooklyn didn't dare make a move. He stopped blinking. He stopped breathing. Not literally but you get my point.

This was the calm before the storm.

"So what am I going to do with you?" Ariana asked, walking around him in circles.

This made him incredibly uncomfortable.

He felt like a sack of potatoes and Ariana was guessing his weight.

Well, in a way he was no better than a potato sack in Ariana's eyes. In any case, lower than a potato sack.

Ariana properly had more use of the potato sack than she had for Brooklyn at this point in time.

Anyways that's enough about potatoes and sacks and usage.

"Brooklyn, I'm putting you in charge of locating me a new Captain in charge of my work. Work with the new guy," Ariana said, sitting back in her thrown.

"You're kidding," Brooklyn sighed.

"Alas, I'm planning too much in order to 'joke' things like that are beneath me now," Ariana said, inspecting her nails. Which in Brooklyn's opinion were perfect.

"I still have a chance?" Brooklyn said. Ariana sighed, "Must I explain everything too you? Yes, I like your style, I want you to be the one to take down the guardians not some one else, that was your special task so I suggest that you do it right," Ariana explained. A maid had come into the room with a gold handled hair brush and hair products.

"You leave now," Ariana said, pointing a finger down at him.

"Yes your highness," Brooklyn said, turning on his heel and leaving as fast as he could with out running.

"Oh and Brooklyn, try to get someone close to them…" Ariana informed in a dry, bored tone.

"Yes, your highness, anything you want," Brooklyn said leaving the castle.

A whole world of possibilities now open too him.
