A/N Hello my faithful readers, and you know not so faithful reviewers! But considering I uploaded the last two chapters yesterday, and still managed to get 2 reviews, this is my most reviewed story... most liked? I don't know, thanks anyway for the reviews, even though they were pretty short, I mean "Well that was different" from mistyqueen? Please some longer reviews this time! Oh and the glass slippers, I'm still not sure if they are going to be important, they might be... basically the Queen was wearing them, but whether they mean anything to the story... who knows? Not me! Ok so after that long Author's Note, that does anyone actually read? On with the story!


Finally we were lead into a small room that resembled the dungeon, although was slightly pleasanter as it had a window. The guards left us without a word.

"Where are we Kayla? What's going on? What are those horrible creatures, I just can't bear their smell!" Shaylee said as soon as we heard the key turning in the lock.

I was looking out of the small barred window, the sun was shinning over the Golden City, but today instead of being beautiful, it hurt my eyes and looked a little tacky. I turned to face my sister, who was curled up on the only chair in the room, looking at me expectantly, I knew she thought that whatever happened I would get her out of any trouble, I wasn't so sure.

"Well, this is the country of Hadanim, the fairy world..." and with that I found myself telling my story for the second time in two days. I only wished I hadn't told it to the Queen. But one thing I wasn't sure of, did the Queen know that Shaylee was in the dungeon, and had she been tricking me? Or was it her Godfather who in fact was tricking the Queen.

"Tyler's here? In the castle?" Shaylee exclaimed, once I had finished.

"Tyler... oh Ty yes he is, but I... I failed them, I didn't kill her, so I don't know what's happened to them now, but I will get us out of here!"

"What about Fin, he could do magic to save us couldn't he?"

"Not on that many goblins," I sighed, "Besides, how would he know where we are, no its up to us to save ourselves, and if the opportunity arises to save them too!"

A goblin suddenly entered the room with a tray of food, if it could be called that. There was a loaf of mouldy bread and some soup that looked more like water with... things floating in it. Dry bread for prisoners, how original! But then I realised I hadn't eaten since we had stopped to discuss plans, and that was two nights ago, I was starving! But I looked at Shaylee, and realised she probably hadn't eaten in much longer.

"When did you last eat?"

"I don't know... I don't know how many days have gone by, there was no window. I..." She trailed off looking miserable.

"Its ok, look you have the... erm... the soup, I'll have a bit of bread," I began to rip a piece of while she drained the bowl and then began dipping bread into the other bowl. "You know, my tutor once told me that mould is in fact good for you in small quantities," I said, trying to lighten the mood as I chewed the rock solid bread.

Not long after we'd finished yet another entourage of Goblin Guards entered the room, this time all wearing the same blue tunics and golden breastplates, making them look even more similar.

"Get up, your trial awaits ya!" One growled bodily lifting me to my feet. They dragged us out the room and into the room that was next door. We found ourselves in a cage, looking out into a huge hall. To our left was another golden throne, where Kestra's godfather was sitting, to our right were rows upon rows of seats, all being filled with goblins, and even some fairies and I thought I could spot some humans too.

"Kayla? Shaylee?" I heard a hoarse whisper from another adjoining cage, it was Ty, his lovely blonde hair now straggled, his blue eyes faded. He had a huge bruise blossoming across one cheek, both of his eyes we black and his lip was puffy.

"Oh Ty!" I ran over to the bars separating us, holding my hands out to him as he struggled to stand up, "I'm so sorry! Where's Fin?"

"Over here!" I looked to what I had thought was a blanket but was in fact Fin heaped on the ground, I could tell from the angle his legs were at that they were broken, I saw that his arms were also in the same state.

"Oh!" I cried out, almost fainting, this was all my fault.

"You found her then," Fin said, laughing, although he stopped suddenly and looked as if he was in great pain, his ribs must also be broken.

"Yes, I found her," I felt hot tears running down my face stinging my eyes.

"Don't cry Princess!" Ty mumbled, reaching a bleeding hand through the bars and wiping away my tears. "Sorry, I think I made it worse," He grimaced, and in spite of myself, in spite of all we were going through, I laughed,

"Silence in the cages!" A bellowing shout raged down from the throne, it was Kestra's Godfather, "All rise for the Queen, all that can anyway!" He sneered. I ushered Shaylee over to me, hugging her with one arm, the other was grasping tightly to Ty's hand. He squeezed mine gently as he leaned against the bars.

A door next to the throne opened and the Goblin Queen entered. Today she was wearing a light blue dress, of the same style as yesterday's, and the same colour as her cold blue eyes. She seemed older as she entered the room, more like 30 now, no it was older, or maybe she was younger. I realised then that she was old as she wanted to be, as old as she needed to be to gain the trust from someone. But the question was, was it done by accident, perhaps to do with the spell cast on her mother, or was it deliberate.

I felt Ty tense as she entered, and something clicked into place, it had been her who had killed his mother, I was sure of it. I squeezed his hand and he glanced at me, "It was her, who killed your mother wasn't it,"

He looked at the floor, and nodded, I noticed there were tears running down his face.

"I'm sorry, I fell under her spell, but I won't make that mistake again, I will kill her."

"No I'm sorry, I didn't prepare you, I..." he trailed off as the Queen began to make her speech.

"These four prisoners are being charged with treason, they plotted to kill your Queen. Of course the punishment for this is Death, by torture." Her cold voice rang clear through the great hall.

"As one of them has already admitted to this, the sentence is pretty clear, but of course they must plead."

"Guilty," Finley's voice rang out from the cage,

"Guilty," Ty spoke clearly, even through his busted lip.

"Guilty," I added my plea,

Shaylee looked up at me and I nodded, "Guilty," She squeaked. I knew this was what we needed to do,

"Well, that makes this case a lot easier of course. But that also means I must meet with them, take them to the holding cell. I shall meet with them and we shall decide their torture, then we shall come back here to make the public announcement." She descended from her throne and walked back out the door. The Goblin Guards led Shaylee and I into the room, then Ty followed, and finally Fin was carried in. I knew this was the plan, this was the only way to get near enough to the Queen to kill her, but of course if it didn't work... but I really couldn't think about that.

We barely had to glance at each other before the Queen entered, along with her Godfather.

"I don't think I properly introduced my Godfather and royal adviser, Sullivan, or Black Eyes."

Sullivan sneered at us, "My pleasure in meeting the rebel Finley, but the others, well I thought the great Finley would have better accomplices."

"These are the finest accomplices a man could ever have, as they are my greatest friends," Finley said simply.

"Of course," Sullivan sneered again,

"But who are your accomplices, that is the question, I know these are Princesses from Galidren, but what of this boy." Kestra looked at Ty,

"I am Prince Tynan, son of King Robert of Berinum." Ty said standing up tall, I gasped, he was the Prince? So many things fit into place.

"Tynan, son of King Robert..." Kestra looked shocked, unable to speak, "Has it been so long that you have grown into a man,"

"You remember me then,"

"Of course I do, my son."


A/N Well were you expecting that? I knew you all knew about Ty being the prince, so I thought I'd throw something else in there! A bit inspired from Star Wars, as I was watching the 100 greatest Films yesterday, and there was the "I am your father, luke" "Noooo" scene, so I put a little something similar into my story! Hehehe review and tell me what you think of this twist! And the rest of the chapter of course.
