I know I haven't updated for a very long time and I'm very sorry I've just had a lot to do such as my half-yearly exams, assessments and so on. There really isn't much of any other excuse to put it blankly I'm just lazy. There is some bad language in this chapter but apart from that it's all- good. Thanks to everyone that's been reviewing.

Disclaimer: same as before nothing has changed

Chapter 5

Plans

"Up and Adam missy" said Brae as she pulled back the curtains and let the sunlight flood in

"Arrrr" muttered Cia tiredly pulling the blanket over her head "I'm not getting up"

"Oh yes you are, it's 8:30 and we leave in an hour and a half so you better get up if you're gonna make to breakfast"

"8:30 too early more sleep"

"GET UP," yelled Brae from out of nowhere and stunned Cia

"Fine, I'm up," said Cia as she bolted out of bed

"Be ready in 10 minutes otherwise you're not going to get anything to eat" said Brae pleasantly as she left

"Fine" came the reply

In the time that it took Cia to get dressed, clean up and make it down to get something to eat Brae had planned what they are going to do for the rest of the time that they will be at the castle. This included doing a bit of reading to understand the kingdom more, go exploring in the town and get some proper clothe. This came as a shock to Cia and promptly refused to do any of it.

"No I am not wearing a dress, never will I wear one of those.things!" exclaimed Cia furiously

"Well then you can forget about going out to explore" stated Brae sternly

"What you got against me going out in this" asked Cia as she looked down at what she was wearing "it's been washed and cleans and apparently ironed as well"

"Let's see, what you're wearing is not of this time. Its way too cold outside to be wearing what you are. It is the beginning of winter if you haven't noticed; not the beginning of spring like it is back home. Unless you want to freeze to death you better put this on"

"Why can't I wear what the guys are no to mention it seems more mobile"

"That is what the guys wear no the girls"

"Who says!?"

"I say!"

"So now what you say goes does it"

"Yeah"

"Fine I'll just freeze cause there is no way in HELL I'm gonna put that on" yelled Cia and turned her back on Brae

"Cia please, it's just a dress it's not going to bite you" pleaded Brae

"That's what you think"

"OK THAT IS IT! YOU ARE GOING TO PUT THIS DRESS ON IF I HAVE TO TIE YOU TO A CHAIR AND PUT IT ON YOU MYSELF" screamed Brae furiously

"If you put it that way then fine" replied Cia meekly

~*~

"Well look who finally decided to join us" said Brae as she watched a very pissed off Cia walk slowly into the room

"I hate you" replied Cia

"Of course you do. Are we ready to go yet?" asked Brae

"No we're just waiting for Rex" answered Lan

"He better hurry up if we are to go anywhere"

"In my opinion the slower he gets down here the better" muttered Cia darkly

"Oh stop your complaining, it's not going to get you out of that dress anytime soon"

"Yeah well it makes me feel better" retorted Cia just as Rex walks in

"I can't believe these people can wear these things" stated Rex unhappily "Hahahahahahaha what happened to you Sis?"

"What's it look like" challenged Cia

"I don't believe I've ever seen you wear a dress willingly so Brae what did you do?"

"A bit of yelling, threatening always does the trick" laughed Brae

"You have to teach me that sometime"

"For how much?"

"5 bucks an hour"

"20"

"10"

"15"

"12"

"Done"

"I am still here you know," said Cia as she waved her arms around

"I know you are but that doesn't mean we ain't gonna stop talking about you like you aren't" replied Brae

"."

"Well let's go then"

"Fine" said everyone

As it was free time for everyone that was not a servant the markets was a perfect place to go. Everyone who was anyone would be there. The King and Queen on the other hand had gone hunting with the governor and governess of Whitehorn Castle.

The journey into town was considered peaceful. There was no arguing the two main complainers and argue starters were both to depressed about what they were to wearing to argue. To them these people had absolutely no taste and to make it worse they were wearing their crappy close. Yuck. What they could do on the other hand was annoy the one person that started all the must not dress like out of towners.

"Are we there yet?" asked Cia quietly

"Not yet" replied Brae

10 seconds later

"Are we there yet?" asked Rex

"No" answered Brae

10 seconds later

"Are we there yet?" asked Cia again

"Like I said 20 seconds ago no"

"But ten seconds ago we were far away now we're closer"

"Doesn't make any difference we're not there yet"

"Bu-"

"No buts I'll tell you when we're there"

"Fine"

The closer the six of them got to the markets the louder the noise. By the time they arrived at the centre of it all they were stunned. The markets that they knew of were old boring and dirty in one way or another but these markets were a shopper's paradise. There was so much to see and do. Brae's eyes darted from one stand to another and the next thing Cia knew she was being dragged around every stall that Brae could see.

"Too bad we don't have any money"

"I'm going to regret this" muttered Cia "I do"

"How, we didn't bring any money with us and even if we did it wouldn't be any use" objected Brae

"I know but I found a bag of money in my khaki pants pocket. I don't know hoe much there is but it's there"

"Weird. Oh well money is money, give us it then"

"Here" throws the moneybag to Brae

"Wow, this thing weighs a ton"

"Yeah it was pulling my dress lower than need be"

"Since we have money let's go"

"Do we get any?" asked Rex

"Nope, you spend too much back home as it is we're not taking any chances now" answered Cia

"So what are me meant to do exactly?"

"You have the honor of carrying what ever we buy"

"Great" said Rex sarcastically as all the guys groaned

"Hurry up otherwise your gonna loose us" yelled Cia

"And we wouldn't want to do that now would we," muttered Rex to the guys whose spirits was now a little bit dampened

In the cellars of a castle

"How long do you still have to go," asked a dark figure

"Not long master" replied the slave

"Hurry up I want to see whether if it is true"

"What is true"

"Shut up and work slave, your not here to talk"

"Yes master"

The mirror that the slave was working on glowed faintly at first then brightened enough to let the seer see what was going on.

"It is done" stated the slave

"Leave me be and tell the guard to not let anyone disturb me no matter what or he shall die a slow and painful death"

"As you request master"

"Now go"

The slave leaves; the dark figure hears voices outside then silence. The figure moves closer to the mirror and watches as Cia and her friends' wander around buying what they could.

"So these are the people that were brought through. They don't seem powerful. They look more like children. How is it that when I need help it's never there? Stupid girl can't do anything right it was a simple spell how could she have got it wrong. I have to somehow dispose of these 'Children' they are no longer any use to me. But how? It would be too suspicious to just kill them. I have to do this quietly and quickly for that matter" the dark figure spoke to himself. "I might just as well as bring in some help, hopefully they can get the job done fast and right for there own sake"

A/N how you like that eh. I know I still haven't told you who this person is and you won't find out for another couple of chapters. I'm mean aren't I. Anyways keep reviewing and I'll try to update sooner.
