Sorry the chapter is sort of short. I will try and update tomorrow.

And don't worry; Ember isn't going to become a crybaby. Remember to review!

Ember watched Queen Una fly away. She looked around the room. Now the room looked better. Its bare walls had been dressed with paintings and a bed with a light purple bedspread was put in the corner, and there was even a little dark table by the window for dinning at. Next to that was a beautiful light purple velvet armchair, facing the window. Ember looked from corner to corner. She even found a wardrobe filled with new dresses. Then she turned her attention back to the little table. There was something she hadn't noticed before. The table looked pretty normal with a vase of flowers and a plate for herself, but next to the flowers sat something that had caused Ember to be were she was now. There next to the flowers, sat the box.

Most people would look inside the box. Find out why she had been sent to where she was now. Ember picked up the 500-year-old box and just stared at it. The box hadn't changed much. It still had the dent from the hammer and was still dark wooden looking. It had been closed but could still be easily opened. "I wonder, why something so small and so plain could be so cruel and horrible." said Ember. She needed answers. Ember opened the door that lead out of her room. She quickly went down the staircase and explored the castle. It had many rooms. All the rooms were about the same size and were plain.

When Ember entered the first floor, Kora's she was shocked. The room was filled with gold and there were many books lay on the floor here and there. Kora, the dragon was by the entrance to the castle. When she saw Embers' head poke around the corner Kora snapped her head toward Ember. "What isssss it my little princessssss?" she asked. Kore was light purple with dark purple swirls on her back. She had a white belling like Queen Una and had blue eyes. Her wings faded into dark purple and smoke slowly came from her neck.

"Um, nothing. I was just exploring." said Ember. Kora saw the box in the princess's hand.

"Little princesssss I do not like liersss. Why did you come down?"

"Nothing, Princess Ember dropped the box she forgot she was holding and started to run up stairs to the tower.

She berried her head in her pillows. "No one will ever try to save Me.," she told her self. She tried to hold back her tears. She didn't know why she was crying. "No prince will ever come for me!" tears trickled down her cheeks,

But a prince did come, hundreds did.
