Ch. 3- Eyes can be Deceiving

It's 12-12-12! Make a wish everybody!...

For those of you who wished for me to update...guess what!? It came true!

Disclaimer: I own none of the characters.

She was running as fast as her legs could carry her.

Not caring that the branches from the trees were scratching painfully against her. Not noticing that her clothes were getting muddy and dirty from her constant falls.

She only cared that there was something chasing her. She had no clue what it was, but it had piercing, cold navy blue eyes and a terrifying growl.

She could feel it gaining. Its panting got louder and louder with every second. It wouldn't be too long before it would eventually catch up to her.

She continuously glanced over her shoulder, yet she saw nothing there.

Her orange hair carelessly blew from place to place as she forced herself to keep running, no matter what her eyes told her. No matter what she could or couldn't see.

Her long red hood constantly got tangled up in the prickly bushes, but the girl would just give it a good tug and then continue running.

Just running. Non-stop.

She was starting to panic. Fear took control. She couldn't keep this up much longer.

But the girl knew she couldn't stop. If she was ever to get away from the monster chasing her, she needed to keep running.

She would keep running, until she collapsed from exhaustion.

"F-Ferb?"

"Oh, pardon me. Allow me to introduce myself. It's Charming. Prince Charming." Ferb slid off his white horse and humbly bowed.

Isabella looked up to the sky and mumbled, " Oh, VERY funny."

"Shh," Ferb whispered, "Princess we must hurry, before the guards catch us! Use your hair to climb down!"

"But I wasn't trying to-"

"Quickly! We mustn't waste time!"

Isabella groaned. How was she to explain to 'Prince Charming' that she wasn't locked up and wasn't trying to escape?...

And how the hell was she supposed to climb down using her hair?!

"Alright, alright. Give me a minute," she muttered.

Isabella looked around the room for something that would help her climb down. She decided that her only option was her extremely long bedcover.

She grabbed one of the corners and tied it to the bedpost. After double knotting it, Isabella took another sheet and tied it to the previous one.

The process was repeated several times until the girl deemed it long enough. She threw the end out the window and slowly began to climb down.

Prince Charming looked on in curiosity. This was not at all what he pictured it to be...

Several sudden gusts of wind threatened to tip the girl off...And unfortunately, that's exactly what happened.

Isabella shrieked as she fell and did not notice that she landed safely into Prince Charming's arms.

"You know," he stated, "You should really be more careful."

"Oh yeah?" Isabella stood back onto her own feet, "Well I've got one word for you...DOOR!" She pointed to the big door right behind her.

"Now that wouldn't be any fun," he teased, "Now would it?"

Isabella shrugged as she walked to the side to get her knapsack and slung it over her shoulder.

She began to walk towards the woods.

"Eh, where are you going?"

"To find out where I am and how I got here," she glanced back.

The prince ran up to her with his horse behind him,"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean , 'what do you mean'?! We need to figure out how to get back to Danville!"

"Danville? What's that?"

"Danville, Ferb! You know, our home!"

"I'm afraid not."

"So what you're saying is that you don't remember anything or anyone?"

"Well, I certainly remember my parents and family, not to forget my friends from around the world-"

But he did not get a chance to finish because Isabella cut him off, "SHHH...I hear something."

They stopped walking as they looked around. The two stayed still for several seconds, but continued walking after they couldn't find anything or anyone.

But, the noise only began to get louder. Prince Charming and Isabella began to get really frightened.

"I think we're being followed," Charming whispered.

Suddenly, a loud howl rang throughout the woods, and the two teens gasped.

"More like being hunted!" Isabella began to run deeper into the forest, with Charming and his horse right behind her.

She was so focused on getting away from whatever it was following them, that Isabella didn't notice anyone running towards her, and smashed right into a girl.

The two girls groaned as they stumbled back and rubbed their arms in pain. Isabella began to study the other teenager. She was wearing a red and white dress and had on top a long red cloak with a hood. She looked about 15 and had a super long neck with sunset orange hair.

"Candace?"

The girl shot up and began to panic, "We have to get out of here! It's coming! Hurry!"

"Wait Candace," Isabella grabbed the other girl's shoulders, "Calm down. What is it-?"

She froze. There was something approaching behind her. She could hear it.

"Oh no!" Candace whispered as she hid behind Charming, "It found us!"

The three backed away slowly as they readied themselves for whatever monster that would come out of the bushes.

Isabella squinted as she tried to make out the creature. A light pink little dog-looking creature leaped out.

Candace screamed as Charming covered his eyes from fear.

The creature barked as it wagged it's tail. It had large ears, a pointy brown nose with three little freckles, large navy eyes and two very small teeth.

Isabella recognized it. "Pinky?!"

Ok, for those of you who are slightly confused here's my plan:

I'm combining almost all of the characters from the show with characters from fairy tales.

Each chapter will start will a little preview of the character and what they were doing before they met the main protagonists. Your job is to try and guess who each character is, based on the hints that I give you...

Umm, and, probably every chapter from now on will end in a question.

...

Hope that you guys enjoyed!

(Oh, can anyone guess which fairy tale character Candace is? Hint: Think of the thing chasing her...)

Until next time!
