Toothy and Petunia open the door, they look around for any of His Majesty's servants, but couldn't find any, then go in deeper into the building Michelle felt the atmosphere of the building get darker and felt a heavier pressure. She started feeling a little short of breath until they opened one last door before coming to an empty throne room.
Petunia released Michelle and Toothy pushed her down to the ground, Michelle slowly gets up after she felt the atmosphere in the room lighten, she started to catch her breath again, she looked around the room and other then Petunia and Toothy, there was no one there.
"So who is this 'His Majesty' guy?" Michelle said focusing on Petunia or Toothy to answer the question, "Just shut up they will be here soon." Toothy said in a hatred tone, Michelle was trying to figure out why, but the doors behind the throne slammed open. Michelle quickly turned her head and saw a blue panda bear walking in wearing a maids outfit, Michelle sighed in relief.
"Where's 'His Majesty' we sent for him after we completed our patrol." The panda bear shrugged "Maybe off torturing, the last poor soul you brought in here." she then looked around, and shook her head, "I really can't believe he would do that." the panda sighed and heard foot steps coming down the hall. "'His Majesty' is coming" She said in a way that she was almost despised to call him that.
Michelle looked up at the door and started to worry, she was taken in the info of what the panda was saying about this character, and she was really starting to worry that he would torture and or kill her for being there, even though she was trying to flee 'The Emperor' from doing the same thing.
She hears the door slowly open, and her heart starts to race not wanting too look up; she just held her head down and held her eyes closed tightly. "Who is this? I have never seen her before." Michelle heard a feminine voice. "Sorry Mistress Lammy, she was hiding in your vacation home." Mistress Lammy looked at the squirrel, "Why is she so shaken? Have you two done anything to her?" Michelle felt a hand on the back of her head, but was shocked it felt like a gentle touch, she looks up and sees a lavender lamb dressed in an elegant sparkling silver dress.
"Hello there, what is your name?" Michelle looked hard into the lambs eyes trying to see if the kindness was an act or sincere, she couldn't sense much if there was any deception, she slightly whispers her name. "What was that dear? I didn't hear you." Lammy said bringing Michelle closer to her.
"I-I said m-my name is M-Michelle." Toothy and Petunia looked at Michelle shocked that she didn't properly address Mistress Lammy with respect. Lammy just smiled at the squirrel, "Well what brings you into our town Michelle?" Michelle slightly calmed down "I was trying to get away from that tyrannical monster, 'The Emperor'." Michelle said and then noticed why Toothy and Petunia was giving her a 'You keep forgetting to address her properly' look.
"Mistress Lammy…" Lammy glared at Petunia and Toothy "Its okay Michelle you can call me Lammy if you like." She smiled at Michelle and Michelle returned the warm smile back to her, then they heard more steps coming up to the throne room.
"Okay before 'His Majesty' gets here please only address him as 'His Majesty' and do not stutter, and only answer his questions truthfully, then you will be fine dear, is that okay and do you understand?" Michelle nodded her head, "Yes Mis… I mean Lammy." Lammy walked away from Michelle and went and took her seat next to the throne.
The doors open again but this time there was an announcer a female red porcupine, "'His Majesty' Splendid is in the room, no one is to speak unless he has spoken to them, anyone speaks out of turn is to be punished in whatever form 'His Majesty' declares." Splendid walks into the room and looks around.
"Why is this peasant in my throne room? Patrolman Toothy?" Toothy kneeled down and then got back up, "'His Majesty' we have found this squirrel to be out past curfew, and causing a ruckus of noise, and breaking and entering Mistress Lammy's vacation home." Splendid looked at Lammy and then expected a response from her.
"Well I don't know why she was there, but she wasn't there to cause any harm." Lammy said as she started to walk over to Michelle, Splendid turned his attention to the squirrel with her head down to the ground. "What do you have to say for yourself madam?" Michelle just kept her head down. "I said what do you have to say for yourself madam?" Splendid said again, but a little louder and more annoyed.
Michelle lifted her head and directed he face toward Splendid, she was nearly about to stutter until she remembered Lammy telling her not to stutter "I was, just, uh trying to get away from 'The Emperor's' control." She then put her head back down and tried not to look at Splendid's reaction.
"You will be punished for the breaking and entering…" He then looked over to Lammy "If Mistress Lammy so desires it." Lammy shook her head trying to clear it with Splendid she didn't want someone trying to save their lives to be punished like a criminal.
Splendid looked around "So be it, Madam… What is your name?" Toothy wanting to impress 'His Majesty' stood up and said "The squirrels name is Michelle 'His Majesty'" Splendid did not take his eyes off of Michelle; he then grabbed the Panda's attention. "You servant go and get the General" The panda scowled at Splendid and then ran off to get the general.
Toothy looking around felt a heavy pressure in the room as he quickly returned to a bowing position to Splendid. Splendid never said anything to him, which in HappyTreeTown, any one knows if 'His Majesty' doesn't talk to you, you have either angered him, or you are going to be punished.
Michelle looked at Splendid straight in the eyes and she saw how beautiful ocean sea color that they were, her eyes started to flutter a little as she continued to stare at Splendid. Splendid just shook his head fighting back a trance feeling he had while getting sucked into Michelle's chestnut colored eyes.
"So, your name madam." Michelle broke her trance and said "My name is Michelle, and yours is a beautiful name." Splendid slightly blushed, but then he remembered he had to rule with a firm fist in case 'The Emperor' decided to take a strike at them. "Well then Michelle on announcement on be hath of me, You are an honorary citizen of Happy Tree Town and shall be treated as such, just follow the laws no matter how stupid they seem, then you will be fine and protected from that jerk."
Michelle smiled they heard the door open, but no one spoke a word, Michelle looked at the door and saw a gray wolf with a straw hat and a red plaid shirt standing at attention. "Ah General Boony, have you tracked the movements of any of the 'The Emperor's' patrol?" The wolf shook his head, "We have had reports they may have sent a spy in, but as of this moment it is unclear who, or what they sent in."
Splendid looked at Michelle and looked back at Boony, "Okay until you figure out who is this spy they may have sent in, take Michelle under your wing, so to speak, teach her things, but nothing special about the town that normal citizens are not to know." Splendid then looked over to Toothy.
"Also take Toothy here to interrogation room thirty-four, and make sure he stays there." Toothy got up and started to panic a little, Michelle actually saw him sweating very terribly, "B-but, 'His Majesty'…" Splendid turned his attention to Toothy using his powers of speed he ran over to in less then a second and grabbed him and flung him into the air and watched as he landed on the ground.
"You never should talk out of turn, and I was going to be nice and let you off with a warning by telling me Michelle's name, but since you spoke out again, I'll make an example of you." Splendid grabbed the beaver and tossed him in the air again, but this time before the beaver hit the ground the squirrel kicked him hard and made Toothy smash into a brick wall head first.
Everyone heard the sickening crunch of the beaver's skull being crushed and then the bones crashing into the wall afterward, most of which shattered on impact, but the ones that didn't were sticking up out of the body of the beaver.
"Oh Luna." The panda who Michelle had met was looking down and away from the scene trying to keep from getting sick at seeing the corpse. "Yes 'His Majesty'" she said trying to keep firm to her work so she wouldn't end up like Toothy.
"Clean up this mess and try to find someone to replace the beaver." Luna nodded and quickly ran out of the room to find a replacement, then grabbed the cleaning supplies to wipe up what is left of the beaver.
A/N And there's the first part, this as stated is going to be a two perspective story line, first is Michelle's and her life under 'His Majesty' Splendid's realm, the next chapter is another OC's (Not my OC) perspective from the side of 'The Emperor' I hope you enjoyed.
