Yee Haw!! I'm happy, can't you tell? I finally wrote a story that people actually enjoy reading. Just so you know the rating will go up in this chapter to pg-13. You'll find out later. The pg-13 stuff doesn't really start till the next chapter, but I thought I'd warn you ahead of time. I promise it's no that bad. I'll give you hint though, The Madness of King Scar from the Lion King on Broadway is worse than this. If you don't know what I'm talking about then :raspberry: You'll just have to wait and see. (smirks evilly) On with the Story.

Chapter 5: Flame is Kidnapped and it's Flicker to the Rescue!
As Count Geoffrey and his knights made their way to Castle Camelhot, Flicker and Flame were enjoying a nice meal in the privacy of Princess Flame's room. Flame was still laughing over Flicker's little slipup earlier. Flicker looked at her indignantly.
"Well at least I didn't say 'Get you in bed.' Now that would have been really embarrassing."
Flame looked at him shocked,
"I can't believe you just said that. And without blushing no less. Flicker, I thought you had more manners than that."
Flicker, who had taken a sip of his drink, began turning a bright shade of red.
" Well I.. what I mean to say is.."
Flame giggled at him,
"Oh stop it Flicker. You should know by now I was only joking. I mean come on..uh."
Flame stopped abruptly and put a hand to her forehead. Flicker leaned closer to her and wrapped his arm around her.
"Are you alright Flame?" he asked. You could tell by his face he was concerned for her.
Flame smiled weakly and waved him off,
"Yes, yes Flicker, I'm alright, just got a little too excited, I suppose."
"Here, you should lie down and rest," he said, pushing her back against the pillows. "I'll take these dishes and things back to the kitchen and be back here before you know it."
Flame started to protest, but when she saw the serious look on Flicker's face, she thought better of it.
'Oh well, at least this is something I can enjoy' she thought with a smile.
Flicker hurried off to do his task and left Flame alone in her bedchamber. She sat up in bed for a few minutes, before deciding to lay down and actually rest.
'Might as well, I (yawn) have nothing better to do.' she thought before snuggling under her thick covers. And soon she was out.
Outside Count Geoffrey and his knights waited silently. Finally, when Geoffrey deemed it quiet enough to proceed, they advanced into the castle. Geoffrey, not completely knowing his way around the castle, pulled out a map that his spy had made for him, just in case they actually ever overtook Camelhot. Geoffrey searched the map until he found what he was looking for..Princess Flame's bedchamber. He laughed quietly as he and his knights snuck* to the princess's bedchamber. Upon arriving he made sure that the squire was nowhere in sight and also that the princess was asleep. (He remembered how dangerous she could be when she was awake.) He called for Evil Knight number 3. He was the biggest and could easily carry her back to Threadbare without so much as a grunt. Stupid he might have been, but he was strong, Geoffrey had to admit. Quietly Count Geoffrey put a gag around her mouth so that if she awoke, she couldn't scream. Evil Knight number 3 picked her up, and carefully placed her on his shoulders, as not to wake her. Then the Geoffrey quickly wrote a short letter, laid it on her pillow and turned with a jerk and they were off.
"Back to Castle Threadbare. There, we shall wait an answer from our knight in training." Geoffrey chuckled.
Flicker returned shortly after they left. To his surprise, he found Flame out of bed and a note on her pillow. He picked it up and looked at it. Even without reading it, he immediately knew who it was from. He read over the scribbled hand writing of Count Geoffrey.
Dear Squire,
I have kidnapped your precious Princess Flame. I a sure you, nothing bad will befall her if you, and the rest of the dragons, follow and comply to these few demands. 1. Leave Castle Camelhot and never return. 2. Turn over Castle Camelhot to me and never darken my doorstep
There's probably more but I can't think of any more right now so I'll tell you when you get here. Have an unpleasant evening.
C.G.D.B.O.P.E.P.W. *
Flicker knew what he had to do, and it wasn't what that list said. He had to go save Princess Flame.
'But I've never had to actually do battle by myself before. What if I ..NO! I'm not going to chicken out now. I've worked too long and hard following that blasted code and putting up with all that stuff from the other knights and Sir Loungealot. Now's my chance to really prove myself to be a true knight. And not only for that, but mainly for Flame. She's stuck beside me for so long..I don't know what I'd have done without her.'
Flicker, fueled with determination, tied his sword to his belt and was off to Castle Threadbare.
"Tonight is the night. For God, Flame, and honor." Flicker whispered against the night wind. He was so occupied that he didn't even notice the thunderclouds overhead or the rain when it began to fall. All he saw ahead of him, was the fact he had to get to Flame before something awful happened to her.

Aww ain't I a stinker? I left it so open it's anybodies guess what happens now. I don't even know yet. :laughs: (Question looks are thrown at author) Good grief, can't you people take a joke? Sheesh. Anyway the asterisks are there because 1 Snuck* didn't know if I used correct English grammar there and 2. C.G.D.B.O.P.E.P.W.* STANDS FOR Count Geoffrey de' Buyon Oppressor par Excellance of the Poor and Weak. Whew that's a mouthful. That was in one episode. Count Geoffrey drops a handkerchief that has C.G.D.B.O.P.E.P.W. monogrammed on it. So that's all I have to say hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll try to get a new chapter up on New Years Day.
