Authors note: SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY!!!!!!! I just had a bad
writers block, and I know this chapter will be horrible. Sorry if this
chapter doesn't make any sense or whatever, but I need to do this chapter
in order to add the next (which should be pretty fluffy) anyway ON TO
CHAPTER 7!!!
Chapter seven: Realization
There where guards freaking everywhere!
How was I going to get to April with all these guards? Meemo seemed to know
what he was doing, but I didn't really feel any better, having a 2 foot
tall, fur ball helping me.
"This way Christopher Hitchcock, follow me!" Meemo chirped. Well at least
he seemed happy.
He led me to a small river, where he stopped and waited for me.
"In there Christopher Hitchcock" He pointed to the river.
"You got to be kiddin' me." Was my response.
"Nope. You must go though there."
"Go though where? I don't see a door or anything!" I practically yelled.
"You don't?" Meemo looked confused, then brightened as he remembered
something. "Meemo just remembered that only Gremlins can see it! No humans
can without the use of gremlin magic."
"oooooooook. So can you use your magic so I can cross though?"
"Yes Christopher Hitchcock! I can!" He turned toward the river and mumbled
a bunch of words in a language that I didn't understand. When he finished,
he turned back to me.
"There you go Christopher Hitchcock. Go save pretty lady!"
I looked around and saw nothing. "I don't see any- OH WOW!" I shouted as a
door appeared out of thin air, just on the river bank.
"Thanks Meem!" I ran toward the door, but Meemo just stayed where he was.
"Aren't you coming?" I asked him.
"No Christopher Hitchcock. Meemo does not want to return to that horrible
place."
I started to panic "But what do I do?"
"The door will lead to a large tunnel, follow that one until you come to
three separate tunnels. Take the third tunnel, until you come to another
door. Open it up and you will find yourself inside the castle. You will be
in a hallway. Go two doors down to your right. Then you will be at the
pretty lady's chamber door." He instructed.
"Thanks." I said.
"Meemo wishes Christopher Hitchcock the best of luck." With that he turned
around and ran.
"Bye Meem" I said after he was already gone. I was going to miss that
little fur ball, even if I did only know him for a few short hours. But I
thought that I would see him again.
With that, I opened the door and walked inside. The tunnel wasn't as dark
as I thought it would be, and I was able to see 5 feet in front of me. I
walked farther into the tunnel.
I walked, and walked and walked, my thoughts never leaving April. Lord
knows whats happening to her. Before I knew it, I was at the three tunnels.
I thought for a moment, then took the third tunnel, as Meemo had told me to
do.
And I walked some more. This walk was longer then the last one, and I felt
ready to collapse, but the thought of April in trouble kept me moving.
When I finally did reach the door, I almost shouted out in triumph. April
was practically behind this door! Before I opened it I listened through the
door to make sure there was no one on the other side. Hearing nothing, I
opened it only a crack. Nothing was there. I dashed out of the door and ran
down two doors down. I stopped outside the third. This was where April was
being kept. Hopefully she would be there when I opened it. I took a deep
breath and slowly started to open it. I took a long look around.
A drawer, washbasin, dresser, a lot of tacky paintings, A bed, and on the
bed was April.
I ran across the room to her bed, but instead of waking her up, I just
stood over her for a moment, transfixed, by how beautiful she looked. Her
soft red hair, was sprawled out on her pillow, and her fair skin looked
soft, and flawless. Flawless, that is, if there had not been any large,
blackish-purple bruises covering it. There where not that many, but it made
my blood boil that someone would try to hurt her. I looked up at her
angelic face, but found that her cheeks were stained with dried tears.
I swear I will get Sirin for this!
But before anymore anger could build up, my gaze drifted to her lips.
They looked so inviting.before I could stop myself, I was bending my face
closer to hers. I should have stopped myself, but I couldn't, I needed it
too badly. My lips, brushed hers lightly, and I came back up. It wasn't
enough though. I started to bend back down, but before I could kiss her
again, her eyes opened.
"Christopher?" She asked confused.
"Hi." I said weakly.
