HELLO READERS! AFTER A WEEK AND A HALF OF PLOT THINKING( WHICH SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE BEFORE THIS STORY WAS STARTED), ITS TTIME I CONTINUE WRITING THIS STORY! NOW WITHOUT FURTHER ADEAU, LETS GET ON WITH THE STORY!
-
(Adrian POV)
" My name is Candace Utopia Pamela Andrea, but you can just call me Cupa! For short!" The beaming girl in front of me announced with a bright smile, as if she was proud of her name.
" Pleasure to meet you Princess Cupa. Though your name is still a mouthful in my opinion." I replied with a large smirk on my face accompanied with
a teasing tone, knowing full well she hated being called princess.
I was suddenly smacked in the face with a large frying pan that came out of no where which caused me to see stars flying on my head.
" DON'T CALL ME PRINCESS" Each word was pronounced more menacingly than the next. Getting the message I quickly nodded my head in hopes to save my bruised head from getting smacked and battered by another frying pan. Knowing that she had gotten the message through my thick skull, she replaced her annoyed expression with a happy one and proceeded to guide me through the village. All around, I could smell the sweet scent of cookies and the loud sounds of metal clashing against metal in a blacksmith's shop. Passing through the town was rather, weird, as one might put it as i could see the townspeo-creeper pointing at me while whispering among themselves. I turned to the soldier next to me hoping to get an answer on why the townscreeper were whispering about us only to receive a cold shoulder. So much for good hospitality. Curios at hy the townscreepers were whispering about me, I failed to realize the creepers escorting me had stop in front of a large moat, I ran into Cupa, who had been walking in front of me the whole team. "Which where you're going silly" She said, only to have a huge smile planted on her face while raising her hand in a presenting way saying " We are here Adrian. My House. "
I looked up only to have my breath taken away at the sight that beheld me. It was as if God had personally oversaw the construction of this castle as it was extremely breathtakingly beautiful. The castle was surrounded by a large moat wile pillars of different sizes could be seen around the castle. The castle seemed to be illuminated by the sun as it gave off a holy feeling. The walls which stood strong and tall were lined with soldiers, each of them had their bows drawn, as if aiming at something in that was nearing their castle. I followed their line of fire straight towards...me.
" FUCK!" I swore as I saw the soldiers preparing to fire. The men glared at me, as if daring me to make a move against their princess. Beads of sweat rolled down my face as I tried to think of a way to get out of this sticky situation, only to be saved by the General raising his hand while shouting " STOP! HE IS WITH US!". The guards lowered their bows, albeit reluctantly while the drawbridge which separated us from the castle was lowered. I felt relieved that a hundred bows weren't being pointed at me. I began to thank the General only to receive a glare that meant " I did not do it for you asshole". Biting my lip in an attempt to stop all the unpolite words from spewing out. I proceeded to make my way into the castle through the drawbridge while simutaniously looking down at the moat which had a few bows and sword stuck in them. I nervously proceeded, hoping i would not join the ones who drowned in the moat though the sword poking my back was not helping one bit.
-( Line Break)-
Walking through the castle halls, I felt uneasy as I looked around my surroundings, I could see decorations lining along the hallway. Tapestries, expensive looking pots, paintings you name it, they were there. But everything was pictured with the creepers fighting with the zombies and skeletons whereas one was a picture of a creeper whom wore a crown stabbing a guy who wield a scythe. Though the pictures showed gruesome tales, I know it was not those thing that made me want to run away and scream mommy but it was what's behind the doors that lie at the end of the hallway.
We continued on to the hallway until we stopped in front of the two large mahagony doors. The guards took their positions at the side of the doors and ushered both me and the princess inside. Upon entering the room, I was suddenly hit at the back of my head and fell down into unconsiousnous.
( Cupa POV)
I gasped in shock as I saw the limp body of Adrian fall onto the ground. I grabbed a hidden knife which was safely kept in my pocket in case of emergencies like this, preparing to defend myself at all cost against this mysterious attacker only to see a cloud of red smoke blinding me momentarily.
"Welcome back. I assume you had fun outside the castle without telling anyone about your disappearance." A menacing voice could be heard echoing around the room as I sighed in boredom.
" In my defence, the guards weren't guarding me properly. That's why I was able to sneak out of the castle. And did you HAVE to knock Adrian out?" I berated the creeper in front of me for doing such a horrible thing to my newly made friend.
" You of all people should know not to ever set foot outside the castle, we talk about this and what would happen should you ever be apprehended by our enemies." I groaned at the reason on why I was not allowed to set foot outside the castle grounds.
" But I want to go out there and explore something, not just sit here and sulk for all of my explosive life." I retorted hoping he would change his mind about keeping me in the castle forever.
"YOU ARE STAYING IN THE CASTLE UNTIL YOU ARE OLD AND MATURED ENOUGH BEFORE I LET YOU STEP ONE FOOT OUTSIDE THIS CASTLE." The creeper scram with anger and frustration at her daughters inability to change her thoughts about going to the outside world.
"Bu-" " NO BUTS! GO TO YOUR ROOM YOUNG LADY AND STAY THERE UNTIL I THOUGHT OUT WHAT YOUR PUNISHMENT WILL BE AND IF YOU LAY ONE MOLECULE OF YOU BODY OUT OF THAT ROOM,I WILL LOCK YOU IN THAT ROOM WITH MAXIMUM SECURITY FR THE REST OF YOUR EXPLOSIVE LIFE." The creeper exploded ( no pun intended).
Knowing that continuing on to argue with him would make my punishment worse, I looked at the limp body of Adrian on the floor. " What about Adrian? You can' just put him on the ground for the whole day. OH! I know! Let him rest in my bedroom!" I suggested hoping he would accept my request.
" NO! IT WAS BACAUSE OF THEM THAT YOUR MOTHER DIED!" The creeper replied furiously. Beside me, I could hear the still unconscious Adrian groan in pain
" Wait...I thought you said mother died from giving birth to me?" I asked, remembering the time when he told me why I do not have a mother to care and support me. A mother to raise me and protect me. That was why I was sometimes teased at school for not having a mother." Has it been a lie? Tell me! How did mom die?" I could feel my eyes water at how I did not know why and how my mother died.
" GO TO YOUR ROOM! I WANT YOU THERE NOW!" The creeper finished with a loud slam to the table beside him which broke into 3 oak planks and 4 sticks.
Feeling betrayed I quickly grabbed the limp body of Adrian and quickly ran down the hallways which led straight into my room. It wasn't a room made to fit royalty, rather than a room for a more homely feeling. Plopping Adrian down on my king sized bed, I sat down on my chair trying to hold in my tears which were threatening to spill out. At the thought of my mother, I could lost control and my tears rolled down my eyes like a waterfall.
A shuffle and a groan could b heard in the direction where I placed Adrian. Looking at with my Blood-Red eyes, I could see Adrian holding his head with a pained face. Slowly rising into a siting position. He turned his head from left to right to survey the new environment before his eyes lay on me.
( Adrian POV)
Fucking hell, I feel like i've been hit with a jackhammer and a hammer. SHIT. My head hurts, hopefully my brain is still intact. I could feel the cushion of what is was lying on rather that the cold floor I was lying on not long ago. Sitting up, I surveyed my surroundings and saw that It was quite a nice little room. There was a fireplace which produce a soothing cracking sound with one-man sofa and a table which had a cup of coffee? Looking to my right I was shocked to see Cupa with bright red eyes and tears flowing down her face. I got up from the bed and walked over to her, hoping to find out why she was crying and try to comfort her.
"Hey Cupa, I just woke up after being smacked in the head to unconsciousness and missed out of what happened. So tell me, why are you crying?" I asked in my most gentlest voice, hoping to help her ease whatever pain she held.
" No its nothing Adrian, just some family matters that' all." She tried to give me a smile saying she was ok but failed miserably as the tears flowing down her face told me otherwise.
" Its ok Cupa. Just tell me what's wrong, like what my dad used to say ' By sharing you pain with others, they will know how to help you." I quoted what my father said to me on that very day.
Nodding her head, she told me what had conspired when I was , telling me what her father and said and lying about how her mother lied which resulted with her crying even more. The only thing I could do was pat her back and try to listen as it was painful seeing such a cheerful girl be brought down to a sobbing mess.
After a few minutes of her recounting what had happened, I could hear a cute snore coming from the girl beside me. Looking at her, I almost wanted to laugh at how she fell asleep in the middle the conversation. Thinking it might be uncomfortable for a princess to sleep on a mere couch. I carried her 'princess' style and laid her on the bed before slowly and quietly taking a few steps out of the room.
Closing the door to her room, I turned around, preparing t get out of the castle only to bump into a large four-legged creeper who had bright red glowing eyes. But what was unusual about this creeper was instead of its skin being green with black dots, its was orange with white dots. It looked at me with pure malice as it spoke in a very deep voice "What were YOU doing in that room MINECRAFTIAN?" The unusual creeper spoke with its eyes glaring at my every move.
Knowing I would not survive had I just stand there and do nothing. I mustered up my courage and responded." I...I...was ju..just put..putting the p..princess...t..to sleep " I squeaked at the very end as the glare increased tenfold.
"I CAN SMELL AND HEAR THE FEAR IN YOU PUNY MINECRAFTIAN.YET YOU DARE SET FOOT IN CREEPER TERRITORY. " The creeper gave a loud malicious laugh before setting its blood-red eyes on me. It started to ficker white accompanied with a slowly increasing *HISS*. Knowing it was about to explode, I braced myself for the impact that was to come but knowing full well it was futile judging by how close we were. After a few seconds, I slowly opened my eyes. Wondering why I was not a pile of ashes yet only to see the creeper observing my face as if I was a piece a piece of 32 carat diamond.
"You look familiar...Ah...You must be that Minecraftian boy my dear daughter must have brought in just now." He said with a sceptive look.
I nodded, hoping that he will let me live knowing I was his daughter's friend rather than some lost boy who just so happened to be in his daughter's be-!?" WAIT! If your daughter's a princess...Won't that make you the king?" I asked.
" You realize that now little Minecraftian?"
