Sofia the First

Sofia and James more than meets the eye

Chapter 11 The Rising Darkness Part 1

A hard time, after it was like Europe was on the brink of war, all the kingdoms organized a council, to solve the European problems with diplomacy, not with the strength of arms, of armies, ships, catapults.

And so there King Stefan proposed to King Roland to make an alliance between Frankia and Encharthia, by marrying one of the prince from Frankia with one of the princess from Encharthia, but the problem for Roland and Stefan was that they don't know who shall be a couple. So Stefan knew something about Hugo's feelings for Amber, and Axel feelings for Sofia, and with this he told Roland to let Hugo try with Amber, and Axel try with Sofia.

But what they didn't knew was that Axel, spied them while they were talking this, and he decided to use a control potion, he put the potion into Roland's glass with wine, and while Roland was sleeping, he whispered at his ear to force Sofia to accept Axel as her prince.

So that's why Roland was acting in that strange way, and because he kissed Miranda, she was for some while under the effect of the potion. But on Miranda, the potion effect was not as big as on Roland.

But now, Roland was under the effect of the cure Cedric prepared for him, but the cure must be used in the period of 1-2 weeks, depending on how much potion was used and how strong it was.

So, for Amber and Hugo, who finally shared their feelings, it was their brightness hour, because now, they know who it their heart chosen.

But for Sofia and James, still was a darkest hour, because they were in exile, but they were together, and that was enough for them, because from the beginning, they knew that this might happen.

So, maybe this was a test, to see how strong they are, and to see if they really love each other. But, the road is still open, and they have a long way until the finish. But, for Sofia and James, it was a normal life, as long as they are together, they will be happy. They needed to be together, it was now or never at the ball, and it's seems that their fate was to end up together. So, now they are indeed in exile, but they are together. Sofia feared that for James it would be hard to leave the royal life, but she forgot that James wasn't dependent of the royal life, of having everything done for you, he was something like her, he always was interested in adventures and freedom, and for him this wasn't the first time he left the castle for several days. In the past, he and Roland had a little fight, and James left the castle for several days. He went at his house, and he stood there alone, thinking about what his father told him. Roland then realized that he shouldn't have to be so hard on him, and began to search for him, but James was nowhere to be found. Sofia began her own search, using Clover, Mia, and Robin, she told her animals to send a message to all the animals to search for James, like she did when her father was lost on Wassalia's day. But after 4 days, he went into the village to buy some stuff, and then Sofia found him. He tried to escape, but Sofia grabbed his hand, and convinced him to return to the castle, and to forgive their father.

He finally accepted, thanks to Sofia, and then he realized that he has bigger feelings for Sofia.

So for James, this was the second time he left the royal life, so for him it wasn't a hard thing. He always managed to handle anything, except the time when he was King for a day, when Sofia helped him.

So the truth is, that they always made a great team, they always stood up for each other, they always helped each other. The only time James was really upset on Sofia was when she used the magic spell to create Sofia the worst. But even then he knew that is something wrong with Sofia, he felt in his heart that she wasn't his Sofia, the nice, charming, and helpful with pure heath.

For Sofia she always preferred to spend time with James, rather than Amber, Clio and Hildegard. It was a time, when for a month Clio tried to catch the attention of James, but James feelings were only for Sofia, and he told Clio that he doesn't like her, and that he hopes for Clio to find a boy who really likes her. At that time, Sofia was so jealous; she didn't want another princess to be in James arms, she wanted to be in his arms, to feel him, to feel his touches, to get lost in his eyes….

But to return to the present, now Sofia was really in James arms. After he woke up, they ate and went downstairs. They wanted to have some time for themselves; they wanted to just simply stay in each other arms, to be in their world.

Meanwhile back at the castle, Prince Axel went to his most trusted friend, one of his most trusted army commanders, Sergio de Anjou, a highly intelligent general that is 21 years old, like Axel. He is Axel childish friend; they were best friends since they were 5 years old, when Sergio's father began the supreme commander of Frankia's army, beside the king. Since then, he and Axel began to be friends. For many times, Sergio has proven his loyalty for Axel's friendship, and always helped him.

And now, Axel was angry, his rage and fury could be seen, he wanted revenge, and he wanted to have what he wanted, no matter the cost.

When Sergio saw him, he tried to calm him.

,, Axel, please, calm down, don't be angry, it's not going to do any good,, said Sergio as he tried to reason with him.

,, No, I can't , I feel betrayed, I feel sad, sad, revenge, I want revenge, I will get my revenge, I promise,, said madly Axel, as he punched the wall.

,, And what, how it's going to help, it's not Sofia's fault that she does not love you,, said Sergio.

,, No, surely it's my father fault, and king's Roland fault, it's seem that the potion I gave him had no powerful effect on him, but I will have Sofia, we must begin to search for her,, commanded Axel.

,, Axel, we don't know where they can be, and Encharthia is a big kingdom after all,, said Sergio.

,, I don't care, they can't be far from here, we must search within the perimeter of the village and the castle... ,, said Axel.

,, Maybe, if they left the kingdom, after all prince Zandar for example is one of the best friends James has; maybe they went into the kingdom of Tangu ,, responded Sergio

,, No, I know this, they haven't left the kingdom, but maybe we can force Amber to share their location, maybe she knows, or maybe we should send Scouts into the village to search for them, to keep an eye open for any trace of them ,, said Axel

,, Ok, if that is your wish, but what about your father, we must ask his authorization for such an action,, said Sergio

,, No, we don't need, you have mine approval, my old fool father's days are numbered, and soon I will be ready to set my PLAN in motion,, said Axel with an evil laugh

,, Are you still going to do that,, asked Sergio

,, Of course I will do it, now my soldiers, the time has come, go to the village, keep an eye open for Sofia, James or any track of them, I want them captured, or I will have your heads instead,, demanded Axel

,, As you command, your majesty,, responded the soldiers, after they took their leave for the village

,, Let the hunt begin,, said Axel

,, My friend, are you sure that we are doing the right thing,, asked Sergio

,, Oh course, now let's see what can we learn from that foolish Princess Amber,, said Axel

Axel and Sergio left to search for Amber, because Axel suspected that Amber knows all, but she was not going to give up such information to easy.

In the meantime, Sofia and James were spending some time together, after all, there has been such a hard time for them, and now they wanted to just relax and to be together.

While Sofia went into the kitchen to prepare some lemonade, James thought about how important is Sofia for him….

James

OH, my goodness, how beautiful she is today, she is so cute, so …. Perfect, I can't even express in my thoughts my sentiments….

Let's think James, she is the perfect princess. She is brave, sweet, cute, nice, fair, very beautiful, strong, smart…. She is so much, I can't think of I live without her, and to believe that 3 months ago, I wanted to try to get Sofia out of my mind by trying to date Princess Clio, but I am so glad that I never did, anyways it was because of Amber's hook up programs, But I found out just in time to say to Clio that I like someone else and that I don't want to date with her, I wanted only one girl, the only one who is mine, my Sofia….. I was so jealousy when I was even seeing her talking with Hugo or Desmond, I wanted her. Clio is nothing compared with Sofia; Sofia is much more that Clio…She is my princess and I am her prince, we are meant to be, I am so glad that I decided try to get Sofia instead of trying to forget my feelings for her.

The first think I remember was her being so sad when she saw me when Clio tried to kiss me, and then, when I saw her, I realized that she maybe have the same feelings for me, that maybe I have a chance after all, so I put my hand on Clio's lips…..

,,James, what are you doing?,, asked Clio in confuse after James put his hand on her lips

,, Sorry Clio, I know that I said that I will try a date with you, but I can't, I already like someone else, I can't do this with you, and you went so fast to try to kiss me, I can't, don't take it as a bad thing, but I don't want to kiss you, to make you think that you have a chance, because you will be the one who will suffer because of this, I can't do this to you, and I am sure that there somewhere, is a boy for you, is someone who can love you….. ,, said James, trying to not make Clio cry, he wanted to say this from the begging , but thanks to Amber, and thanks to his crazy plan of forgetting Sofia, he accepted with half mouth….

,,James, I can't believe what are you saying, I thought that you like me too,, said Clio, and after tears began to come down her cheeks

,, Clio, please don't cry, I said to you from the beginning that I don't like you in the way you think, sorry, but I simply can't, and I will not do this, so please excuse me, I have to go….. ,, said James, and after he walked toward Sofia, where she was staying, where she was suffering, he needed to be with her, to not let her to be sad, to make her happy, and in that moment James realized how big his sentiments for Sofia were

So that night he just spend the night with Sofia, having fun, playing, and talking about anything…..

Oh, I remember like it was yesterday, that night, I realized, that I must have Sofia, I must face my feelings, not run from them, not trying to hide them, I am so glad that I have made the right decision, I can't even imagine how else everything could have been, but I think that after all even I would not abandon Clio, I would have anyway find my way to Sofia… After all I think that we surely would have suffered more, but in the end we would have got together, because our feelings were too big…. We can't fight such feelings, we can't, we simply can't do this, we can't stop our feelings, we can't deny them, we must simply embrace them…. I will not give my Sofia, I will hold her, I will shout to all the world that she's mine, I will not let her go, she will not leave me… I will not allow another boy to touch my Sofia, to smell her vanilla and roses parfume, to feel her soft skin, and in specially to feel her soft, perfect, and tasty lips.

I can't I will not allow such a thing; I better die and take her with me…..

,,James, what's wrong, what are you thinking?,, asked Sofia, as she came with a plate on which the glasses of lemonade were standing...

,, Oh, Sofia, I didn't see you standing there, it's nothing,, said James, as he began to come back into the real world

,, Oh come on James, your such a poor liar, please tell me,, demanded Sofia, as she was sitting beside him and she grabbed his hand

,, Oh Sofia, the truth is that I was thinking about you, about that time when I tried to forget you by using Clio…. ,, answered James as he began to play with her hair….

,, Oh, I remember, I was such demolished inside, I felt like I was dying… ,, said Sofia and became a little sad to remember that dark hour…

,, Oh, Sof, come on please, don't be sad, that is past, and when I saw you in that way, I simply could not deny my feelings for you anymore,, said James, as he put his arms around her waist, and crushed his lips on her, he simply wanted to make Sofia feel better, to forget about that hell time, that Clio, and everything that could have ruined their love. He wanted to only just kiss, to feel each other, to feel their heat…

,,Jam... , you could not make me feel better, I don't know what are you doing to me, cuz every time we touch I get this feeling, and every time we kiss, I swear I can fly, can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last, I need you by my side, cuz every time we touch, I feel the static, and every time we kiss, I reach for the sky, can't you hear my hearth beat slow, I can't let you go, I want you in my life, I want you kisses, I want your touches, I want this sensation of electrify, this sensation of sparkling, this sweet kiss… ,, said Sofia with a full heart, as he pulled James on top her and kissed him with true love, passion, romance…

,,James, Your arms are my castle, you heart is my sky, they wipe away tears that I cry, the good and the bad times, we been through them all, You make me right when I fall. You are my light, my protector, my love, your everything for me, I want only you James, I don't want to know that you are anywhere without me, I want to be with you, to face every obstacle together, to face this life together,, said Sofia, as both Sofia and James began to cry of Joyce, of happiness, of them being together, of them being to the right place and the right time….

As this, they were returning kisses, until all in there was romantic, they didn't want to break they want to feel like this for the rest of their life, to feel each other, to smell each other, to hear their heart, to taste their lips….

,, Sofia, I have an idea, let's go for a walk into the village, I want to share this with Lucinda, who helped us a lot,, said James as he wanted to thank personally to Lucinda for her help, and for being a true friend

,, Of course, but we should dress in more commoner dresses, because we don't want to be seen by any guards ,, said Sofia as she began to explain the risk of this

,, Sofia, don't worry, I will have my sword with me, if anyone will be a threat to you, he will have to pass through me first,, said James to chill Sofia

,, Oh, my brave prince, my knight, I know that I am protected with you, let's get dressed and let's head to the village,, said Sofia as she took James upstairs to change….

But, they didn't know that is a very risky thing to go into the village, in specially for them, because Axel placed Scouts all over the village to hunt them down and to bring Sofia to him, but for James and Sofia, this won't stand in their way, they will pass any obstacles, they will fight for it, and not even the mighty Prince Axel can stand in their way.

But for some peoples, the clouds were gathering over Europe, a dark time has come, and for many, they didn't know what the future will bring, but for some persons it's clear that darkness is rising across Europe. For some persons it has come, The darkness rising….
