~chapter 3 of my 10th kingdom fanfcitions (ya I'm finishing mine) love me!~ review, and enjoy~
"I have to say thi-this I-is q-q-quit mucky" vide said, puffing himself up in fear.
"What? Scared cat" Fredrick said grinning, only to jump once he heard a strange sound.
"What? Scared dog?" vide mocked, walking ahead of a grumpy Fredrick.
"Now boys" rosella scoffed, turning around to face them.
"He started it" they both said in sink, pointing a finger and tail at each other. Rosella just shook her head, pulling her feet out of the murky green slim of the swamp.
"How much farther do you think, till we reach the 4th kingdom?" looking at the sky, she knew that after tonight they would have only one more day. And even if they reached the kingdom, what can they do? Walk up to the king and say: "excuse me, but your going to be attacked by an army of trolls.
The sounds of distant drumming could be heard; a slow drowsy grin crossed her face. As she could hear little tiny mushrooms beginning to sing. She began to stumble slightly, as the others began to notice this they speed up a bit, Fredrick took her by the arm to steady her.
"huff-puff, got to get out of here" he said to vide, who gave him a "you're an idiot" look.
"Just realize that mutt" he stated bluntly. As Fredrick gave him a low growl.
"Huff-puff, I'll eat you later" by the time they made it out, Fredrick was practically caring rosella (not that he didn't enjoy it)
Walking out of the filthy swamp (as vide says) eventually she woke up, they scurried through thick plants (you know in the movie, after they escaped from the swamp?) and made it towards a path. As carriages approached with thick amounts of present's and trolls making way for there false since of allegiance towards King Wendell. They knew they must hurry.
"Now what" vide came to rub up on rosella, doing so out of a nervous.
"This way" Fredrick said, back tracking towards the forest.
"What are we going to do" rosella asked, looking back and forth to Fredrick and the road.
"Cant we just walk in?" vide gestured towards the castle front.
"Huff-puff, we can't just walk in, no invitation. Not royalty" Fredrick explained, getting the point across quit quickly.
"So now what?" vide asked.
"There's another way" Fredrick gestured for them to follow.
"Water, it just hast to be water!" vide hissed, clawing onto Fredrick's leg, as he growled in pain.
"Just going for a little swim" rosella said, hopping underneath the icy frig that encased her skin. Swimming underneath the drawn rusty gate she made it to the other side, and waited for her friends.
"Shortly after, Fredrick (and a slightly drowned vide) came popping up, giving him a hand up. They went into a side room. Where two doors led, rosella went for the left but was stopped by a voice.
"One door leads to safety, one door leads to a horrible death" a fat toad spoke, as he sat on a barrel of hay.
"I learned this in school, Huff-puff I should have lessened more" Fredrick said, crouching down to the frog's height.
"You may ask one question, -rib bit-but I always lie" the toad crocked out.
"So if we ask him which door is the right one" rosella said.
"But he'd lie and say it's the other door" Fredrick scratched his head with two fingers.
"Or is it the other way around" Fredrick said gnawing on his thumb nail.
"I don't know?" rosella said, in worry. Time was running out.
"Times up-rib-bit" jumping up, vide came up with the logical solution.
"Why not throw him in a door, and see what happens?"
"Huff-puff a wonderful idea!" grabbing hold of the slimy toad, Fredrick haled it towards the left door.
"Get your hands off me, what are you doing? Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh" the toad yelled as it was thrown down a dark hallway.
As he turned around, there was an explosion behind him, flames busted around the edges of the door.
"I guess it's the other one" Fredrick said, pointing to the "not going to kill us" door. As they casually walked towards that door and began running to save the kingdom.
Through twists and turns they ran, looking to find the way to the great hall.
~wolf/Virginia~
Standing on her balcony, watching as the company of the 9 kingdoms assembles for King Wendell's early celebration party. She could help but be sad for the past seventeen years.
"Hello my cuddly little lamb" her husband wolf said, coming up to hug her from behind.
"its been to long" she said, and he instantly knew what she meant, there daughter. For so long she has yet to be found, and his wife's hope to find her has dwindled. But he never gave up hope, no he was a wolf and he had that feeling that said that one day, maybe even soon. That they would find her again.
~back with rosella~
Suddenly they came to a halt; they heard voices behind a wooden door.
"Add this poison into there drinks, should be easy enough. The king plans to use that wand he stole from that fairy to take over the kingdom. And enslave all, and make them clean our shoes" they could hear trolls laughing.
"Huff-puff, what do we do?" Fredrick said, his nervosa tick setting in as he scratched his head again.
"Well dog, I'll take care of the poison, you two take care of that wand" vide said, scouring off to the kitchen.
"Life in the paws of a cat, never live this down" Fredrick said, being pulled along by rosella.
~vide~
Sneaking into the kitchen, vide stared in amusement as the knuckle headed trolls went to work on, making poison filled wine.
"This'll put them out for good" the smaller one said, knocking spoons with the other troll. Walking out of the kitchen, vide came up towards the bowl.
"Such hard work for such baboons" vide said, tipping it over with his tail, watching it spatter on the floor.
"Ops, my bad" vide jumped off the table and pursued to catch up with his friends.
~rosella~
"Ok, how do we plan to stop these guys" rosella whispered, looking out at the ball room. Where the guest have arrived, Cinderella (bad health but still beautiful) little red riding hood, king coal, the trolls, good fairies, and plenty more.
"Not sure, but well think of something" Fredrick said, looking around for the troll king himself.
"There he is" rosella pointed towards the less appalling troll, that wore a crown upon his head. A magic wand clutched in his hand, half way up his sleeve as not to be seen.
"We have to get down there" Fredrick said, gesturing for her to follow him, as they snuck down the banister. Only for Fredrick to run into two men, one that was not quit young but not to old either, with black hair, and darkish eyes that were brown but also looked black. He was dressed in a fine suit with a long over coat (look into the movie, where at the end there having dinner with the king/prince)
And the other man, who was quit old with short brown hair, that had a cheesy smile and wore a blue suit and over coat and a white shirt with a black vest. The older man furrowed his brow, looking at the two.
"And who might you two be?" Tony said, looking at the two, the girl looked quit familiar.
"Huff-puff he's a wolf" wolf said, pointing to Fredrick.
"huff-puff you're a wolf two" Fredrick said right back, also pointing at wolf. Then all of a sudden Fredrick began running away as the other man (wolf) chased after him.
"Well, I must be going" rosella said, rushing away from Tony as he yelled for her to stop. Blending into the crowd, she moved around to get closer towards the front. And unknown to her, the clasp that held together her necklace broke, falling to the floor without her knowing. But a woman dressed in a white dress, with short hair with a tiara picked it up.
She made it to the front, just in time for the troll king to step up to give king Wendell his gift.
"And tell me, troll king what have you to offer" king Wendell asked, a humble grin on his face.
"A little magic is all" the troll king brought out the wand making the crowd gasp.
"Put the wand away" king Wendell ordered, but watched helplessly as the troll king advanced.
"Here's my gift for you ex-king of the fourth kingdom" the king troll chuckled and raised the wand.
Rosella found herself running towards the kings aid, running smack dab into the troll king as he cast the curse. But luckily she made it just in time to knock him down, and managed to knock herself unconscious.-
Time latter, her eyes opened to be lying in a beautiful room (again the room that Virginia woke up after she killed the queen)
"w-where am I" rosella whispered, looking up from the bed she was lying on.
"Your in one of the palace rooms, after you saved the king" vide said, hoping up on the bed.
"I did?" slowly the memory of the events that happened of when she did save the king.
"So we saved the day?" she questioned.
"Yes, thanks to you that Virginia girl and the dog, or should I say "dogs" came to defeat him" vide spit out the name dog, but the toned he used it was clear he was proud of Fredrick.
"where is Fredrick" rosella asked, looking for him.
"Eating what else" vide rolled his eyes and told her to get dressed for the meal, with the king. But before they ate, rosella walked in to see Fredrick in a fine suit, waiting in the hall to take her hand.
"You look delicious, I mean cuddly, I mean—bringing there lips together, hearts were sent off above there heads. Where one of Fredrick's legs popped up behind him (like in the movies) as they broke apart, just grinning at each other. Vide just rolled his eyes, as they came to the throne room, where the kings and queens of all nine kingdoms clapped and cheered for them as they entered.
"And here is the heroic hero's that saved my life, along with the whole fourth kingdom" king Wendell gestured towards us.
"And with there heroics I will graciously reward them" gesturing towards vide first, where Fredrick said "always the cats." He step forth, as King Wendell presented him with the gifts of a swan feather billow, a golden tray of milk that never runs out, and the offer of both himself and his family to stay at the palace.
"And to Fredrick, I reward him with this unary metal. For as a wolf he is and forever a royal knight of the fourth kingdom" Fredrick's face lit up, as he was rewarded he came back and kissed rosella passionately.
"And to this lovely woman, please step forwards and present yourself" king Wendell gestured her forward. Slowly she stepped forward, looking back once at Fredrick she came to stand before the king.
"Please tell me what you wish for, and it shall be granted" he said, as she took her time.
"I have an idea of what she might want" glancing down, a woman dressed all in white, a tiara on her short hair, a beautiful completion just like her own.
"I belies this is yours, rosella" the woman said, handing over her necklace.
"Thank you" rosella smiled, and then UN expectantly the women came to hug her.
"My daughter, rosella" the woman said, hugging her tighter as she began crying. Rosella didn't notice she was crying as well, until the woman let go.
"Who are you" rosella whispered, looking into the woman's eyes.
"my name is Virginia, and I'm your mother" she said, and once again mother and daughter hugged, then soon wolf, Tony, Fredrick even vide came in for the hug.
"Id likes to say, that this tale ends happily, my adopted mother came to live at the palace with us. My father and mother are the parents I been longing to meet, mine and Fredrick's relationship has become that of marriage soon. But we don't know what might come after... I'd like to say, we lived happily ever after but this isn't after just yet, no this is just the beginning of another tale. One that is a never ending story~
