Sofia the First-
Disclaimer: I do not own Sofia the First, but I do own Evelyn, who is supposed be Sofia younger twin sister. I also do not own the song that is in this chapter. I do not own any song that was used in this chapter.
Just letting you all know that some of the characters from the show may be acting a bit differently than what they should, but they are going to be like this for the story, so please just go along with the idea. They may go back to normal in a few chapters later.
I made some grammatical updates to this chapter.

Chapter 6- The Beginning of the Moon's Calling
Everything was black. The pain was hurting. Was I even alive? I remember being pushed, but what happened afterwards. I opened my eyes, to see Cedric pushed up against the wall by someone, but my vision was weak, I got up as I saw blood. Blood… was someone bleeding? I pushed passed the pain and tried to get up. I didn't hear anyone making any noise, the only noise that I could hear was my own heartbeat. I had reached out to grab something, it was long and thin. The lightness suggests that it was a stick, then I saw something about it being unique. It wasn't a stick, but a wand. I pushed myself up against my own body's protest.
Everything was coming back. It was becoming clearer and clearer.
"My dear, Miranda, Sofia… What are you two doing here? Where is that blasted husband of yours?" the man with the velvet voice was filled with anger, his hair dark brown was pushed back. He had wrapped an arm around my waist. I wanted to push him away, but I couldn't, the compulsion spell, the damn spell that took away my will power to fight him off, was not broken, but it didn't stop me from doing what I can to help, but it seemed as though it was impossible. Until I saw the royal sorcerer moving from behind, I didn't move as I saw a spell coming at the man. "Well, what are you waiting for, child. Are you going to protect me?" My eyes widen as I felt my legs trying to move, I squeezed my eyes close I felt as though everything stopped.
That memory, he had trapped me in a Dt'lánt'mènt Crúmæ. I pushed back the pain and I notice that Sofia was working on casting a spell on James, his body wasn't going to last. I placed a hand on Sofia's shoulder. Her tear-filled eyes were red and puffy.
"Sofia, if you continue then you are going to kill yourself and James. Let me take over," I said quietly. Her eyes widen and then looked back at her shaking hands and sighed. She knew that she was fighting an impossible fight.
"Tempus Subsisto," I said calmly, the light silvery-blue blue spell came out of my wand and wrapped around James' body. His gasping stopped. "I have stopped time for James. He will die without this spell, but right now Cedric needs the help and I am feeling his pain, I can't help James, but I can help Cedric." I said calmly. I must remember, the time back before I realized that he wanted to use me. That he wanted me to work away to serve him in the castle he was banished from, only waiting for his sister's approval on when it is safe to come back to the castle. I took a deep breath. I got up and I held my head high up. "Do you have the potion? The one that I had Cedric make?"
"It is here," the small vial was produced. It was blue liquid. I quickly uncapped the vial and drank the contents. It was like the dream-world, but there were no extreme elemental outbursts. I took a few steps towards the two men struggling to get the wand away from the other.
"Father," the words left my mouth and no sooner did one of the men brought their knee up and caused the other to fall to the ground in pain. It was Cedric that was in pain, I wanted to fall, but I refused to allow him to hurt anyone else.
"My little Princess…" the words came from his mouth like velvet and I wanted nothing more than wipe that silly little smirk off his face. I raised the wand that I retrieved from the floor and I held it up to show him that I meant to fight. He laughed. "Do you think that you have the ability to fight me?" His words came out in a form of laughter that held disbelief.
"Do you think that I wasn't able to fight?" I asked him. "Before you had kidnapped me, I fought off monsterslike you. I might have not seen you like one, but as time passed, I begun to know that you were the worst type of monster. You wanted to use me, you thought that I would be following to the ends of the earth, but you forgot something. I am stronger that you, you've said that before. And because now the spell that you used to try to kill Sofia, when we were children is finally removed, I will gladly show you what I can do." I said as I stalked over to him. The power that I held; it wasn't what he had thought was possible. Every scar that I held was from a dark spell that he had used, it empowered me to cast a spell that I didn't want to.
"In tenebris in lucem venit. In gemma est lapis. Fieri unum. Ad obsigno involvatur amaritudine. Et sidus lunam luceat lux patitur. In obscuris Sky," (With light comes dark. With this gem of stone. Become one. To seal away the blackness. Allow the light of the star and moon shine. In the Dark Sky.) With that all the wands in the room snapped. Two can play with simple words, two wands one pure light and one pure evil, then there was one that was silver. The wands created a portal within the continuation of the circle that it was creating. The portal had started to suck in anyone and anything that is close to it, which was all of us; but we have something that he doesn't. I created an ice shield around all of us, so he had been sucked into the portal and it soon closed. The ice soon melted away and the wands that were previously snapped to create the portal became one and fell to the ground. I picked up the wand and I turned to the royal family; my eyes closed as I took a deep breath. "Sana," the words slipped passed my lips as I pointed my wand in the direction of the royal family and steward. Then I repeated the process with the sorcerer. I then clasped to the ground as I couldn't stand any more. I soon clasped to the ground and sighed as I had paused to just lay down on the ground.
The a few days later; Cedric was doing a magic trick. It was a simple trick, to make something flow then with fireworks exploding in the night sky. I had seen those tricks, but I wasn't really interested in them, but it made Sofia happy. She was excited to see such magic, which was fine with me. The spell that man had cast on me to wipe away my emotions, it was still in effect, so I just enjoy her excitedness on the display. The spell was to stop me from ever being happy, but I was an empath so I could feel everyone's emotions.
I got up and walked in the garden as I looked at the beautiful moon. I knew the tale of the Man on the Moon and the Maiden of the Sea, but the story had changed from the original one, to the Lady of the Moon and the Lord of Sea. I kind of missed knowing what to do with my life, but now, I am not sure. I knew what I was meant to do, but as time faded, I think back to the playing in the garden with Sofia and dancing in the woods near our home, but when I was taken, they moved in the village to stay safe.
A memory had taken hold as a familiar tune had made me sing a song that had come to me in a dream when I was a child:
" Silver light
" She turned her face up to the starlit sky
" And on this night began to wonder why
" She knew that soon the day would come
" Born to be
" An heir of beauty and serenity
" Into this world she entered quietly
" To her surprise she was the one
" Destiny was close behind her
" Phantom of borrowed life
" And the sea was a reminder
" Mirror of given light
" Then one day
" The sign she'd waited for in skies of grey
" Traversed a winding road and came her way
" She found the love she hoped she would
" But she knew
" That she had promises to stay true to
" The dormant daughter of the silver moon
" Then all at once she understood
" Destiny was close behind her
" Phantom of borrowed life
" And the sea was a reminder
" Mirror of given light
" From the sky
" She watched the life
" She'd known she would leave behind
" Said goodbye
" And gave her people
" Life through her sacrifice…"The song ended and I didn't even realize I was dancing as I was singing until I stopped spinning. My sunset red dress had moved with the spin to wrap around my legs. The moon, it was almost turning into a new moon, and it seemed as though it would be upsetting to see it disappear soon.
"Princess?" the voice behind me called out. I didn't really pay much mind on the name as I strolled out further into the garden. "Princess Evelyn?" I then turned when I heard my name. I then realized that I was indeed a princess. Sometimes, it seems as though it wasn't real, but I know that what happen is real. The person calling was Cedric. "Are you alright? You left the party early… Were my tricks not…"
"No, don't think that I was impressed, but unlike Sofia, I had gained my magical prowess from our father, and I don't think watching something that is a light spell like that will impress me into using magic for a while. Black magic and stuff like that…" I sighed as I rubbed my right arm. I looked down at my feet and sighed. "I grew up learning dark magic, my grandfather on my father's side, he tried to teach me light magic before his wife had sealed him away in an amulet." I said as I looked back at the moon.
He walked closer to me and looked at the moon with me. He seemed like he wasn't sure what he wanted to do. "I could do something that wasn't fireworks…"
"You honestly don't need to preform magic, Cedric. But I am curious, have you ever heard the names Clara and Drakkos?" I asked looking from the moon back to Cedric.
"EVELYN!" a voice called to me from the balcony. Cedric and I turn to face the blonde boy who called for me. "What are you doing down there?" James asked looking like he hadn't had enough fun for the day.
"I needed the break from the crowd. Not everyone likes me… Trust me on that one," I said. "The garden has life that I find quiet refreshing, and the moon is so beautiful… I wish that I could see it from my room…" I said looking at James. His smile faltered just a bit, but then his face was a bit more cheerful.
"Oh, don't worry about any of them…" James as cut off by someone with long dark hair and a sun-kissed skin, I believe her name was Princess Clio, the princess of Cori-nathia? I sighed as she whisked him away. The feelings that she held were very true and it made me feel—if I could feel anything—sadness and envy.
I shook it off, knowing that my fate will curse me once more. I turned to look back at the moon once more, before heading back in. "Cedric, please don't worry about me… Just please take care of Sofia… and everyone?" I said as I walked away heading towards my room. Not wanting to go back to the party where I could only feel what others are feeling, but I didn't want the high that I normally feel with Sofia with her air of innocence, the others will probably get drunk and do something stupid, and I want no part-take in that type of affair.
Once I made it to my room, I had changed into a tee-shirt and a shorts, because I didn't like the long shirt/nightgown. It just seemed as though it was strange. I had to wear a dress during the day, and I am fine about that, but I refused to wear a nightgown while I slept. I soon had gotten ready for the night, but I could not sleep.
