Chapter 4
Hey Guyzzz it's chapter 4! Sorry for the writing this late as in late I mean 6 days later from the other one lol. Okay like I said in chapter 3 Baileywick haters are going to hate this! ENJOY!
LOVE?!
"Hmmmm…Cedric really isn't that bad of a person. He's really fun to talk to and joke around with." Amber thought as she smiled and laid down on her soft, silky covers.
"Do love him?" A familiar voice said.
Amber let out a shriek and looked around her room, but no one was there. Everything was where it was supposed to be. Her billion tiaras, gowns, no other person. "What the?! Baileywick is that you?"
"Hello Amber." Baileywick's fabulous voice responded.
"What, how could you hear me, I was talking in my head?" She said still trying to search around her room to see where the castle steward was located.
"Yeah, I know I am in your head. I'M EVERYWHERE (O-O) 'HE'S ALWAYS THERE, HE'S EVERYWHERE, DAY OR NIGHT!' It's even in my theme song from the episode Baileywick's Day Off. "I'm also in Cedric's head, Sofia's head, in the story, in Princess Ruthella's head, I AM EVERYWHERE!" Baileywick magically appeared in front of Amber and his cucumber-shaped head started spinning around in circles. "WEEEEEEE! So play nice!" (Toy Story reference).
"WHHHAT!" Amber was shocked that he could hear her thoughts, but part of her wasn't that surprised. "Ummm...wait…ummm what is Cedric thinking?" Amber looked at Baileywick with pleading eyes hoping that he would say what she wanted to hear.
"Well…I am actually not supposed to tell you this so this is a secret. NO BUDDY OR READER SHOULD KNOW (Baileywick turned and glared at you in the face with big red eyes). It seems as if Cedric is feeling vey conflicted right now and is having remorse due to Sofia, he's like 'oh my gosh, I'm supposed to love Sofia, but Amber is actually really interesting!'"
"Interesting…" Amber swooned. "INTERESTING!" Amber started giggling. "I mean I am not happy about that at all…"
Baileywick smirked "Remember sweetie, I can read minds and you, my dear like him."
"Okay I admit it; I like him…NO I LOVE HIM!" Amber squealed.
"Knew it, can't trick the Baileywick."
"B-BUTT, I don't want to and I-I just don't understand why I love him, and also he'll never love me back!" Giant tears started rolling down her ivory face and Baileywick handed her a handkerchief. She dab, dab, dabbed her face.
"I'll go visit Cedric and with that Baileywick disappeared in a FABLOUS cloud of smoke and in his place was a tower of Kleenex.
"Thanks…" Was all Amber could let out between sniffles.
(^-^)
"Hellooooo," Bailey sang inside of Cedric's head.
"What?! Who's there?" Cedric twitched and twirled around his workshop to try to find the owner of the voice.
"TA-DA… IT'S ME!"
"Oh hey Baileywick, what are we going to talk about this time?" Cedric asked clearly irked by his head's visitor.
"Oh yeah, I forgot we have our charming chats; I thought I was going to have to give my speech again about how I'm in your head, I'm in Amber's and…but since the readers already know that I can skip it! Yay! Wave to the readers Cedric!" Baileywick beamed and waved at you.
Cedric slowly turned his head and eyed the stunned reader. "Ewww…this ugly person is reading about me and knowing my every move and thought?"
"Cedric, that is not a nice thing to say about the people who care about your well-being…Sorry for his behavior he's just very stressed and don't worry readers you guys are FABLOUS!" Baileywick winked at you. "Anyway, I'm here to help you Cedric because I am fabulous!"
"It's just ummm…it's so weird to tell you this but I ummm…I-am-starting-to-like-Princess-Amber," Cedric mutter quickly under his breathe. "I CAN'T LIKE PRINCESS AMBER!" Cedric face started sweating. "I AM SUPPOSED TO BE IN LOVE WITH SOFIA…I always have…she was always there for me…so how can I even think about being in love with Amber?"
"It's okay," Baileywick replied and appeared in his workshop to console him. "So you like Princess Amber, big deal Sofia will like other guys."
"Other guys!?" Cedric asked a gasped not realizing once he's out the picture, of course men are going to find her attractive and she'll like them!
"Yes Cedric. There are many fishes in the sea or princes for that matter. But the real question I am trying to get out here is; do you love Amber?" Baileywick asked raising an eye-brow.
"That's what I am trying to figure out." Cedric answered plainly.
"Well then, you should go talk to her. It's the best way to figure out these things! And nobody likes a know-it-all, well that's what I learned from Sofia the First, so I'll be off now, goodbye." Baileywick awkwardly ran out of Cedric's tower swaying his oversized butt back and forth.
"Hmmmm…maybe I should go and have a conversation with Wifeykins…Maybe I do love her, right, Wormy?!" Cedric looked up at his friend's usual perch to find him gone. "Wormy?"
(^-^)
"Stupid Cedric! 'Oh I love you Sofia sooo much. Omigosh your sister is HOT and PRETTY. Now I want to marry her!'" Sofia mocked using Cedric's sing-song voice.
"Sofia?"
"Huh?!" Sofia fell off her bed with a loud thud (what is with random voices talking to characters in this chapter). "Who's there?"
A VERY handsome man, about Sofia's age maybe a few years older, appeared from a shadow and he had midnight black hair and very light skin and very vibrant green-eyes. Something about him made him seem oddly familiar and made the maiden cringe and try to scoot away from him. "Sofia, my beautiful princess, I felt you needed someone to help you feel better." He reached out to put a hand on her shoulder but the look she gave him made him stop.
"WHO THE HECK ARE YOU!" Sofia asked perplexed.
"You, my dear, would know me by the name my master gave me, Wormwood, but you can call me wormy if you wish." He smiled or smirked it's hard to tell.
"Wormwood?" Sofia looked at the man confused. He did look very much like Wormwood, no wonder he seemed familiar. "How are you human? Were you always a human and why do you care how I feel? "
The handsome man laughed and said "Well I come from a special breed of humans who are part raven and I came to Cedric's possession because he saved my life, so by Ravencreed's Law (the breed's name is ravencreed) I am forever indebted to Cedric. I care about you because…"Wormwood started blushing "…because I really l-like you, I have for a while now. You did not just soften Cedric's heart, but mine too overtime and I came to love your charming presence and exterior." He smiled. "Now that you're not my master's anymore I-I am allowed to tell you my feelings…" His snowy-white face reddened. "Sooooo…ummm…I know this is all very sudden but would you mind…courting me?"
Sofia began to ponder the idea. "Well Wormwood was very attractive and actually sweet. Maybe courting him would take my mind off Cedric, but he is Cedric's bird, so actually it might make it worse! Hmmm…" Sofia turned to look straight into his pleading-emerald eyes. "Ummm…I don't know. Wormy, your offer seems very sweet, but Cedric just broke my heart and I don't know…if I can handle another relationship right now. Do you understand?"
The raven-haired man looked at her dismayed, and reluctantly said, "Of course my princess, if you ever need a hand or a claw I will always be there for you." He began slowly to leave her room looking very depressed and rejected.
"WORMY WAIT!" Sofia shouted a little too loudly. "Maybe we can work something out."
Wormy gave the princess a wide-grin and picked her up and swirled her around. "I'm so ecstatic Sofia; no words can describe my feelings." He planted a sweet kiss on her lips.
"Hmm…maybe dating you won't be so bad after all," Sofia laughed. Then she and Wormy began to tell embarrassing and funny stories about themselves and others and were just having a good time with each other's company.
(^-^)
"Wifeykins?" Cedric asked knocking on his fiancé's door.
"YES, finally someone who isn't Baileywick is talking to me!" Amber ran up to the door and opened it. "Hi…Ceddykins nice to see you again after you shoved me out of your door!" She said coyly and let out a smirk.
"Oh sorry about that…I just didn't want you to see me super-embarrassed and Baileywick talked to you too? Amber I have something to tell you…"
Amber gave him a curious glance. "I also have something to tell you, but you can go first."
Cedric blushed "No you can go first, as the saying goes, ladies' first!"
"Actually I don't care to go first this time, as another saying goes 'sorcerers' first'" Amber responded.
"What? That's not a saying," Cedric retorted "And I insist you can tell me what's on your mind."
"Okay Ceddy, why don't we just say what we are feeling at the same time." Amber insisted.
"Okay…well I think I am…" Cedric slowly stated.
"I am…"
"…Falling in love with you!" The two lovers concluded at the same time.
"Really?!" Cedric asked honestly surprised.
"Yes, your just so fun to talk to and so sarcastically sweet! I actually don't mind forcing myself to marry you!"
"Well as nice as that sentence you just uttered is to hear, there is definitely a better way you could have said it." Cedric replied amused. "And Amber, I never thought I would like a conceited and vain girl like you, but I do."
"And you said my sentence sounded bad. You just insulted me, but it's all true. KISS ME YOU FOOL."
"How could I say no?" He wrapped his arms around his angel and kissed her gently.
"Hmmm…" She smiled at her husband-to-be and offered, "Want to take a walk through the garden?"
"How could I say no to my Wifeykins?"
The couple strolled hand and hand in the beautiful, blossoming rose garden, but were flabbergasted to hear another couple in the distance. A gorgeous red haired maiden and a ebony-haired man were laying side by side near a white rose bush.
"No way, is that my Sofia?" Cedric asked out loud shocked.
Amber gave him a displeased look and said, "Who's that guy she's with?"
(^-^)
"Oh Wormy, you're just too funny!" Sofia said ruffling his hair. "How come you never talked to me before?" The blue-eyed princess asked while tossing rose petals at his face.
"Ummm…like I said I wasn't allowed to tell you before. It would have gone against Cedric wishes for he loved you dearly."
"Loved…" Sofia sighed looking in the distance and softly said "Cedric…"
(^-^)
"Sofia…" Cedric whispered so low his "Wifeykins" couldn't even hear him. He started to stride towards the delighted couple.
"Cedric are you even listening to me?! Who is that guy and stop walking so fast I can't keep up!" Amber huffed trying to match her intended's speed. "Ahhh!" Amber screamed as she tipped over a stone and fell. "Oww...I think I twisted my ankle," Amber cried as she clutched her foot. "Cedric…Cedric!" Her "lover" didn't respond he just continued towards Sofia's direction as if he never even heard her beckon. The hazel-eyed maiden sat there stunned and full of emotion and felt defeated. He didn't love her. He stilled loved her sister and didn't care if she was in tremendous pain. All he cared about was that Sofia was with another man…
(^-^)
