Sleeping Something

By: Akiko

Chapter 4

Menardi rode her horse all the way back from the Kingdom of Special, Sparkly Rainbow Happiness to its neighbor, Happy Muffin Land, where her father ruled.

She had to tell her little sister, Princess Karst, all about the cute peasant boy she had met. She left her horse to the groomers and stripped off the shield her father insisted she wore in these "dangerous times". Her father had become paranoid with old age. She ran up the stairs to the tower, where Karst lived. Her sister was going to be SO jealouse. "What do you want, Menardi?" the red-head shrieked when she stuck her head through the door Menardi had just burned to ashes.

"I have to tell you, I met the cutest guy!" Menardi stepped calmly through the smoking entryway.

"Nobility?"

"Peasant," Menardi smiled evilly, and began to tell her sister all of the juicy details of her new "boyfriend".

Karst was indeed very jealouse.

Meanwhile, Mia, the Evil Fairy Princess of Doom (she had added "Princess" to her title, it sounded so much cuter, and yet so much more evil) was becomming frustrated. She had been searching for Prince Saturos for nearly sixteen years now, and if he wasn't found by the next day, then her spell would be null and void, and if anyone found out that her spell had not had the desired effect, she'd be out of a job forever. So, really, it was nothing personal, just job security.

And fun.

And evil.

"Garet!" she turned to the knight in black armor kneeling at the base of her dias. Her black, evil dias with the black, evil throne at the top. "Why have you failed to bring Saturos back here?"

"I am sorry, m'lady," he replied. His legs had long ago lost feeling in them, but under the rule of Mia it was the least of his worries. "But he has proved most difficult to find-"

"Silence!" she commanded him. "Go and search for him again. Ivan, go with him."

Ivan was a second-class evil fairy she had picked up a few months ago for a bargain price on a slave train. He fluttered in with his batwings, a look of distate in his violet eyes when he saw Garet. Garet glared back at him, but he didn't seem to notice.

"As you wish, m'lady," he stood, bowed, low while letting some of the feeling go back into his legs then walked off, glad that his flowing black and red cape hid the fact that he was stumbling. And that his evil black armor allowed him to move silently. Always a plus.

"Stupid oaf," Ivan muttered, fluttering after him.

"My pet," she cooed to Isaac, who was huddled in the corner. He jerked upwards as if tied by pupet strings. "Go after them, and remain silent."

Fear filled Isaac's eyes, but under her spell was forced to follow the duo of hunters.

Hope you all enjoyed that! Now, the three of you who are reading this, please review! Oh, and sorry about the non-quotation mark problem of last chapter. Ff.net sucks.
