Chapter 3
Zaine was terrified. He rushed up the stairs and tried to catch Misty as she fell. But he was too late, before he got to the third step; Misty was already face up on the floor. He leaned over her. She was barely breathing and she made a loud rasping sound as she struggled to breathe in and out. Her eyes were empty, and they were not filled with dreams, and happiness as they were barely a minute ago.
"SOMBODY GET SOME HELP!" The prince yelled. Christian, the manservant stumbled out of bed and rain toward the grand staircase.
The queen and king aroused, and even the old family friend Mandy awoke from her deep slumber.
"She fell down the stairs." Zaine was nervous. He looked into the eyes of his faithful manservant and begged him to help. He was like a pleading puppy.
"Sir what happened? She is here, but unconscious." The manservant held Misty's limp body in his arms.
"I don't know. Neither one of us could sleep, so we were sliding down the stair rails." The prince's face was a deep red as he said this, for his mother and father had just walked into the room with ghastly looks on their faces. "She was walking back to her room, and then she turned around to say something to me, and then she just fainted." Zaine was confused, nervous, and scared. Misty did not look like she would live through to the next hour.
Just then Mandy walked into the room. Mandy was a very old lady. Her hair was a very light gray; she had bags under her eyes, and a double chin. But Mandy was alive as the prince himself. She moved toward Misty's body.
"Oh, Mandy please do something. This wonderful girl does not deserve to die this way." The queen pleaded Mandy. She was nervous as well.
"I'll do what I can Lady, but this young girls case does not look promising." Mandy left the room, most likely to get her bag of medicines and herbs.
Zaine covered his face with his hands. He hoped everything would be all right now that Mandy was here, but he could not help feeling that something was wrong, terribly wrong.

Misty was calm. Her face showed no emotion, and her heart was beating slowly. She could not help but feel lost. She was cold and numb. She felt as if she had dived into a lake in the middle of winter. A thousand knives stabbed her all over her body, and all she could manage were short harsh breaths.
Suddenly she saw the face of a woman. The woman was dark, with long black hair, and fierce black eyes. She looked evil, but beautiful as well. Then, the mysterious lady began to speak. Her voice was horrible. It sounded as if all the ghosts in the world were screaming at the top of their lungs.
"HOW DARE YOU? How dare you take away my rightful kingdom!?"
"My lady, I know not what you speak of." Misty tried to cover her ears. She still felt deathly cold.
"I've foreseen it in a vision. You will destroy everything I have worked for. Everything I am." The lady's face grew hard. And her eyes started to glow red.
"My lady, please. I do not even know who you are!" Misty felt like she was eight again, and her father were hitting her. She was on the verge of tears
"I am Eyowen. I married your fool of a father. I am an l sorceress, and have taken your kingdom in my grasp. You will NOT take it from me. I am working to rule every kingdom, and no one will surpass me! Those who dare even try will be doomed. A curse upon you. You will now be obedient. Anything anyone demands from you, you shall give. Anything. Go now, wake from this nightmare."
Misty was dazed and confused. Everything went black. And Misty screamed into the wind.
~*~
"Wake up Misty." Zaine whispered into Misty's ear.
It had been almost a week since Misty had fell. She was screaming now. Her eyes held fear. Suddenly Misty sat up. Her body was wet with perspiration.
"Zaine. What's going on? I can't see anything. Oh, Zaine it was awful. I had the most horrible dream!" Misty was crying hysterically. She could barely breathe, and she choked on her own tears.
"Stop crying now. It's okay, no one's going to hurt you." Zaine held Misty in his arms and rocked her back and forth."
Then the pain started. It was nothing that Misty had ever felt before. The room spun, and her head felt as if it were about to explode. She screamed once more, and then she stopped crying. Her first demand, and she had obeyed.

@thors note: Okay, I know this chapter is really short and that it sucks... but I've been writing for days, and I've got one serious case of writers block!! I couldn't decide on what kind of curse to give Misty, and I went back and forth, until I finally decided on Obedience. I didn't want to copy or anything, and I wanted my story to be original, but I couldn't think of anything!! But, my story will continue, I think I just need a break!!... So don't forget to r&r! I need all the help I can get!
