Chapter SIX:
Daphne laid in her king size bed, the birds singing & the sun shining through the window, all she could do was wonder about Fred, where was he? Was he ok? Was he hurt? Was he dead? All the negative thoughts flashed in her mind. She wanted to so bad run away from the castle & never return. She couldn't let Fred down though, he was counting on her to stay strong & do what was right. She climbed out of bed, then dressed herself for the day.
"Even though the sun is shining, things still seem so dark with out him.." She said to herself while out on the balcony. She took a look over the ocean, it went on for beyond the eye can see. She sighed then returned inside.
"Princess, we have some news for you." Miss Crane said.
"Please say it's good!" Daphne said.
"Well it certianly is! The prince of the country that is at war with us wants you to become his qween!" Miss Crane said happily. Daphne slowly backed up againest a wall.
"H-he wants to marry me?" She croaked.
"Why, yes your highness."
"B-but I can't I'm engaged!" Daphne said. Miss Crane gasped.
"To who!"
"The general, Jones!" She said.
"None sense you can't marry a normal person..you must marry a prince." Crane said.
"I can't Fred & I are engaged, he's the one I love, not some prince I've never even met!" Daphne shouted.
"Your highness, if you won't do it for your people, do it for Fred...if you marry the prince, war will end & he will be able to come home." She said.
"For real?" Daphne asked.
"Yes princess, it's my promise."
"Then I'll do it, I'll marry the prince." Daphne said while playing with the engagment ring Fred had given her.
"Oh thank goodness princess, you made a very wise choice! You'll meet with him over dinner tonight." She said happily walking away. Daphne fell onto the floor & sobbed.
"Freddie, I hope you'll understand..." She whimpered as she held the ring tightly. She cried for hours, then finally got up to clean herself up.
"He tried to tell me, he must have known about this..." She said to herself as she pulled a box out from under the bed. She opened it, it was pictures of the Mystery Incorporated gang. She was in her simple outfit, with Fred right by her side. Everything was smooth sailing.
"What I'd give to go back to those days.." She sighed.
"But, I've got to do this! It's the only way to save Freddies life!" She said. Daphne walked down the castle walls to her giant closet then chose I dress. People curled her hair & applied her make up on perfectly.
"Your highness, your prince is waiting for you! Candle light dinner by the moon outside on the balcony. " Miss Crane said, getting upset the princess was running late.
"I'm sorry Miss Crane as princess I shall take my time thank you very much." Daphne snapped. Miss Crane rolled her eyes behinde the closet door. Then it opened, she quickly stopped, then her mouth formed into an O shape when she caught the first glimps of the princess, dressed in her best.
"Why don't you look just lovely your highness!" She said with an evil smile.
"Thank you Miss Crane, now tell me, what is this young mans name?" Daphne asked.
"Oh his name? It's Seth, Prince Seth Nelson."
"So I'd be Qween Blake-Nelson, correct?" Daphne asked princees like.
"Yes your highness, that would be correct." They reached the date spot where a tall man with dark chocolate brown hair & brown eyes.
"You must be Princess Daphne Ann Blake, it is a pleasure to meet you!" He said kissing her hand. Daphne faked a smile. He didn't seem awful like she expected but, he wasn't near the same as Fred.
"The pleasure is all mine, Prince Nelson."
"Please, call me Seth."
"Oh, okay, & you can call me Daphne."
"I'll leave to two of you alone..." Miss Crane said walking away.
"So tell me a little about yourself, Daphne." Seth said.
"Well, there really isn't much you need to know except I really really want to get married soon as possible." She said making Seth laugh.
"Don't worry darling, I want to marry you soon as possible too."
"When is soon as possible?" She asked, worried about Fred once again.
"A week? That will give them time to plan it all."
"That sounds wonderful! " Daphne said happily, knowing & hoping Fred would last just one more week at war.
...
A week passed, Daphne had heard nothing from Fred. She hoped he was safe & sound. As people gathered all around her fixing her wedding dress, hair & make up. It was the sadest day of her life, she was supose to marry her long time best friend but instead was marrying a total stranger. He was nice but, like her, he was only in the wedding for his kingdom. There was a part of her that was happy, that Fred would come home soon as she said "I do" to Seth. He would probably be upset at her for marrying another man just to save his life. All he wanted for was her to be happy, which she wasn't marrying a prince. She walked down the castle hall once she was finished getting ready. She glanced out a window seeing the millions of people lined up hoping to catch a glimps of the royal couple. She sighed.
"Princess! Would you mind helping me with something?" Miss Crane asked. Daphne turned to see her face.
"What is it now Miss Crane?" Daphne asked.
"It's something only a princess can do, come, follow me!" Crane said taking the princess hand grinning. They walked up all the castle stairs up to the top where it got old & dark.
"W-what's up here?" Daphne asked getting scared of the darkness look.
"This is where we use to keep the..bad people.." Miss Crane said.
"Why are we here?" Daphne whimpered. Miss Crane looked at Daphne then slowly pushed open a jail door.
"Cause your a bad princess!" She said slamming Daphne into the jail & locking the door.
"B-but what are you doing! I have to get married!" Daphne screamed while hold tightly onto the bars.
"Oh silly princess! You still don't get it! I'm going to ruin your day! I'm not a helper here, I'm a real witch!" She said pulling out a bottle & drinking it.
"Huh? Y-you can't be!" Daphne said as there was flashing & blinking happing to the witch Miss Crane. Daphne gasped. The witch looked exactly like Daphne she was the exact same.
"I'm going to marry the pretty little prince & then I will be ruler of the entire country!" She said proudly.
"You'll never get away with this you witch! Fred will save me!" Daphne cried. Making the witch laugh.
"Don't worry about him anymore honey, I'll make sure he'll never come back!" She said evily. Daphne started to cry.
"No! You can't hurt him! Or my other friends! Shaggy, Velma & Scooby! They're still here!" She cried.
"No they aren't I sent them away on a little trip to a paradise! Ha ha ha! Now if you'd excuse me, I've gotta be going, don't wanna be late for your wedding!" The witch said.
