Chapter 14

~True sisters~

As Alara took a small step in she could see Amber laying on her bed playing with the bedspread.

Amber looked up to see Alara standing right there playing with her hands

"What do you want?" Amber asked sitting up and crossing her arms

"I've done something terrible."

Amber cried out as tears started to stream down her cheeks.

"Come on, I'll show you." She mumbled as she turned around

~~~

As Alara and Amber enter the room Amber's jaw dropped.

"A-a dancing spell put everyone to sleep?" Amber asked

"I must have said it wrong! It's all my fault!" Alara cried out again.

"No alara. You wouldn't have needed the spell if I didn't give you those trick shoes." Amber started

"I was just jealous because everyone likes you more than me… even my own brother."

Amber mumbled as she looked down

"That's not true you're the most popular princess at royal prep!" Alara exclaimed, taking Amber's hands into hers.

"You have no Idea how happy I was when I found out we were going to be stepsisters!" Alara grinned

"Alara…. We're sisters." Amber smiled as she brought Alara into a hug.

"How are we going to wake them up?" Alara asked as she stepped more into the room

"I bet Cedric has a counter spell in one of his books!" Amber stated as she looked at everyone

"But his workshop is always locked." Amber mumbled

"Not if you have the key." Alara bragged

~~~

"Give me a boost!" Alara whisper at amber

As Amber knelt down Alara put her foot in her hands.

Alara pulled on the toe and pulled out the key.

"Got it." Alara whisper to amber

Amber took the key and opened the door.

Just as Amber opened it the raven cawed and started to fly towards them.

Amber closed the door just before the raven got out.

"I forgot about wormwood." Amber mumbled

"He won't let us get near the spell book." Amber groaned

"We'll need more help!" Alara Whispered.

"From who? Everyone's asleep." Amber growled

" Not everyone" Alara said smirking

~~~~

As Alara ran up the stairs Astucieux, the two doves, and raccoon followed behind her.

"Just follow my lead." Astucieux whispered to the raccoon.

"Do we have a plan?" One of the doves asked.

Alara turned a corner and was faced with amber's disbelief.

"Hey, those are the animals that used to help me clean my room." Amber gasped

'I wonder what happened to them." pondered Amber.

~~~~

As the door opened, wormwood started to growl.

Amber and Alara creped in with the animals following behind them.

"CAW!" Wormwood cawed as he flew to Attack Alara.

"Get his beck." One of the doves yelled as they flew towards wormwood with a piece of string.

As the doves flew around wormwood the string circled his beck.

Wormwood flew around with one of the doves right behind him.

At the bottom Astucieux and the raccoon were throwing nuts at wormwood.

"Take this!" Screamed Astucieux

"Get the spell book!" Amber shouted to Alara

"Got it!" shoutedd alara.

Just as she was about to turn around she dropped the book.

Wormwood turned around and started to fly over to Alara.

Alara was about to cover her face when Amber started Wormwood with a broom.

"Claws off my sister!" Shrieked Amber

Alara picked up the book and started to head for the door when she looked back around as saw amber swing the broom at wormwood.

"Amber!" Screamed Alara as she stepped on the stool and opened wormwood's cage.

"Over here!"

Amber swung at wormwood throwing him into the cage.

Alara picked up the book and looked at amber.

"Alright sports fans, this may be the first time Ambers picked up a broom but she sure knows how to use it!" Astucieux shouted as he hopped on the stool.

"Let's find that counter spell." Alara exclaimed as she opened the book.

Alara looked up at the painting as walked towards it.

She opened it and pulled out a spell book.

"Looks like I found it." Alara giggled

~~~~

As Alara and Amber walked into the ballroom and froze.

"What's wrong?" Alara asked, turning to look at Amber.

"I can't go in there looking like this." Amber pointed out as she looked at her dress.

"Go on." sighed Amber

"Not without you ." Alara said

"Come on." Alara turned around as she motioned for Amber to follow her.

~~~

Sitting on a couch Amber was looking at Alara sew her dress together.

"I' ve been fixing my dolls' dresses for years." Alara explained

"There you go! Good as new!' Exclaimed Alara as she cut the thread.

"Thank you Alara!' Sand Amber as she spun around.

"Guess I got to go try and waltz now." Alara sighed

"Wait. There is something I can fix too." Amber paused looking at Alara

"I owe you a dance lesson." Amber said.

"Oh!" Exclaimed Alara standing up

~~~~

Alara and Amber stopped as they entered the ballroom.

Alara walked right by Roland and sighed.

"Poply caly extant." Read Alara as she looked at the paper.

A small light brightened the room and started to twirl around everyone.

"Amber, it's working!" Exclaimed Alara
