Chapter 2

"Hello Virginia" A voice cried from behind me. I turned to see the facial expression of King Wendell as scared as I think I have ever seen him. Wolf of course decided to jump in and say "Doesn't Virginia look more ravishing then ever?" All that Wendell could say was not now Wolf I have to much on my mind right now." So then I bolted to catch up with Wendell to see how I fit into all of this. "King Wendell..." "Virginia how many times must I tell you just to call me Wendell?" "Okay Wendell, may I ask you how I seem to fit into all of this?" "Well, you see I think it may be better for you to discover this by your self." "But why?" "I feel as though this is one of those things that I can't tell you for if I do I may get killed." "By who?" Virginia Eagerly asked. "Well I really think that I shouldn't be telling you that either." "But what I can do is show you a letter that was sent to me."

Wendell took Virginia's hand and led her to another room where he had placed the letter in a tightly sealed box with a lock. Virginia looked up to Wendell's face to see the fear that lied behind his eyes, but still kept silent.

As Wendell approached the box he reached his hand into his pocket to uncover a key that was very out dated. Then he slipped the key into the lock of the box turned the key and opened the container. "Virginia please don't tell anyone what you see on this letter, the only one human being that I have told about this letter was you." By this time Virginia began to tremble with fear, but came out with a response of "I wont." Wendell placed his hand on the letter grasped it and then took Virginia's hand and bestowed the letter upon the palms of her trembling hands. Virginia then opened the letter making sure that she wasn't going to rip it and then read the ink smeared writing in her head.

Dear Wendell,

You do not know who I am but I am indeed your worst enemy at this moment. Now since you have no way of contacting me I feel as though I should make this a little challenge for you. I pretty much know everything that I need to know about you in order for my plan to work. But there is one part in my plan that I intend you to help me with. I want you to show the girl this letter before 4:36 this evening and if you do not do this I will take you down from your throne along with making you suffer a long and painful death. Now there is a catch to this, and that is if you tell anyone about this letter besides the girl or you do not fulfill my commands in this amount of time I will indeed remove you from your throne and then take you away and torture you until you die of raw feet. Which yes Wendell means you will be wearing the same slippers that you great grandmother wore at Snow Whites wedding. I tend to be a fan of this idea so make sure that you do just as you have been told. Now in order for me to be fair to you I left you and the girl a clue it lies beneath the spot that sleeping beauty was laid down to rest from there you will have at the 5th kingdom to follow the path and hope that I don't beat you to the end.
