Prologue
Fifteen years ago, Part 2:
Swimming through the black weightless gravity like water, King Candy ducked and dodged wires and code boxes. He was slightly in his own world, not clearly aware of his surroundings and completely lost in his own thoughts. 'How can I stop this madness?' he thought, 'why can't everything go according to plan for once?'
The poor king was in despair, not only was he in danger but the fact of knowing that his most prized possession was about to ripped away from him and there was nothing he could do to stop it was extremely painful.
After what seemed like an eternity, the monarch spotted his code box out of the corner of his eye; panicking, Candy sharply swerved to the left, obviously trying to buy more time than he had. Diving downward with one quick motion, Candy completely lost sight of that cursed box and was floating; trying to calm his rapidly beating heart. When his heart no longer threatened to burst from his chest, Candy stole a quick look at the pale demon that was trailing him.
That monster was absorbed in staring in awe at his surroundings; a huge grin was plastered on his face, he was rubbing both hands together in a manner that king candy started sweating. What in Sugar Rushes name was he going to do?
Again, turning too quickly to be seen Candy dove and purposely bumped a few code boxes to get the strangers attention. They swam in circles for hours, and the stranger was clearly as stupid as king Candy thought, or wasn't paying any damn attention to his surroundings.
But when everything seemed to be following Candy's plan, fate had another idea, one that would cause this monarch to lose his very life.
Just as they swerved once again to make another round, King Candy's code decided to shine out like a beacon. The Kings breath hitched in his throat, he quickly turned and tried to swim the other way but, instead, he painfully collided with the ex-racer.
"What the! Get the hell off me!" the creature snarled, throwing poor Candy to the side.
After being roughly jerked to the side King Candy doubled over, apparently the stranger had hit him in his stomach, and Candy thought he was going to be sick.
In his moment of pain, Candy felt a hand roughly grab him by the collar and pull him backwards. Suddenly, he was twisted around and an arm was tightly wrapped around him in what seemed to be a friendly gesture. The monarch didn't have time to ask about this because his eyes instantly locked with that of the monsters.
Sweating slightly, King Candy tried to twist out of this uncomfortable position but with every slight movement the arm only tightened.
"Isn't it lovely? Your code box is just a promising sight is it not?" The stranger was clearly over joyed to see his code, plus he was making it seem like a good thing. But Candy was too frightened to even know the difference. Suddenly that arm that had been so generously draped around him pulled him even closer, into an even more awkward position. This man was just having too much damn fun with this.
Little Venellope was sobbing into her fluffy dress, all she knew was that father was gone and could possibly not return.
"DADDY!" she wailed, "DADDY PLEASE COME BACK!"
But no answer, as always. Vanellope dropped her head in her knees once more and sniffled, one thing was clear to this innocent six year old; daddy was too far away.
"Shh my young Lady, your father will return. Please don't cry."
Vanellope lifted her tear soaked face to look at her fathers most trusted advisor, Sour Bill. His eyes were filled with sympathy for the young princess; no child should ever think that their parent would not return.
"Please my young lady, don't cry", Sour Bill repeated but he could not comfort her any more than he had, he could not risk losing anyone in the black chamber in front of him.
Staring into the blackness ahead of him, he could see to shapes, but do to the coloring of the glowing codes he could not differ one person from the other.
Closing his eyes, Sour Bill silently sent a prayer to whatever unknown forces at work, 'Please' he prayed, 'Please allow my king to return to his daughter, this is all I ask, please allow it to happen.'
I know this is super short but there will be a part three! And sorry if this was lazily done! Please R&R!
