AN: so this chapter doesn't have any songs in it. I just wanted to continue the scene from the previous one. Hehe. The next one will have a song in it.
Duncan and Shannon crept into the graveyard. It wasn't a real graveyard. It was just an area outside of Araluen, just inside the Mountains of Rain and Night where people dumped the bones of animals.
The two children clambered up a rise in the ground to get a better view of the bone yard.
"Woahhhhhh." The both exclaimed at once.
"It's really creepy." Shannon said amazed.
"Yeah. Isn't it great." Duncan said his eyes twinkling with mischief.
"We could get in big trouble." Shannon said worried.
"I know ha." Duncan chuckled.
"I wonder if its brains are still in there." Shannon asked going up to the giant skull of a bear.
"There's only one way to know. Come on, lets go check it out." Duncan said leaning to look inside.
"Stop!" Yelled Alfred going in front of Duncan and Shannon. "The only checking you will do, will be to check out of here." He said pushing them towards the exit point.
"Awe man!" Duncan complained.
"We're way beyond the boundaries of Araluen." Alfred said nervously looking around, knowing the danger to the prince.
"Haha. Banana Beak is scared." Duncan teased referring to Alfred's overlarge nose.
"That's mr. Banana Beak to you fuzzy!" Alfred rebutted referring to Duncan's shaggy brown hair, "and right now we are all in very real danger."
"Danger! Ha! I walk on the wild side." Duncan said mysteriously going next to a large boulder with an opening in it like a cave, " I laugh in the face of danger, HA HA HA HA!"
As Duncan yelled this, laughing came from behind him in the cave. He darted back behind Alfred fear evident on his face. 3 wargals stalked out of the cave. Everyone in Araluen knew of their savage behaviour and habit of stealing people's children.
They were laughing as the walked out.
"Well, well, well, Markus, what have we here?" Asked one of them who appeared to be female.
"Hmmm, I don't know Whitney? What do you think Ed?" Asked the other one to the weird looking one. The word looking one just chuckled. "Yeah just what I was thinking. A trio of trespassers!" He said getting into the children and Alfred's faces.
They had started to surround the trio.
"And quite by accident I can assure you. A simple navigational error." Alfred replied nervously as he went to leave.
"Woah woah woah wait wait, I know you. You're the King's little stooge." Whitney said to Alfred menacingly.
"I madam, am the kings head butler." Alfred said defiantly.
"And so that would make you..." Markus implied.
"Future king!" Duncan finished for him. Shannon was just downright scared.
"Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom?" Whitney asked rhetorically to the trio, as the wargals circled them.
"Bah, you can't do anything to me." Duncan said cockily.
"Heh heh, technically they can. We are on their land." Alfred said trying to get the young prince to shut his mouth before he did something stupid. But to no avail.
"But Alfred, you told me they were mangy, slobbering, stupid, poachers." Duncan said confused at Alfred.
"Ex-nay on the upid-stay." Alfred muttered but Markus heard.
"Who you calling upid-stay?" He said angrily.
"My my my, oh look at the sun, it's time to go." Alfred said hurriedly in attempt to get the children out of there.
"What's the hurry, we'd love for you to stay around for dinner." Whitney said evilly.
"Yeah, we could have whatever's kid-ding around with us." Markus joked.
No, no! Wait! I got one, I got one! Make mine a child size sandwich. What do you think? Hahaha!" Joked Whitney.
At that moment, Ed started jumping up and down and pointing towards the far side of the bone yard.
"What Ed?" Whitney asked annoyed.
"Hey hey, did we order this dinner to-go?" Asked Markus.
"No why?" Asked Whitney.
"'Cause there it goes!" Yelled Markus referring to the fleeing trio.
While the wargals had been joking together, Duncan, Shannon and Alfred had slipped away and started running for their lives, but in the wrong direction! They were headed away from the exit point, and further into the Mountains of Rain and Night.
The children had been getting ahead of Alfred and he was lagging behind.
"Did we loose them?" Asked Shannon scared.
"I think so. Where's Alfred?" Duncan asked nervously.
Alfred in thee meantime had been caught by the wargals, but he wasn't their goal. They put him in a geyser and sent him flying to kingdom come.
"Ahhhhh!" He yelled. The wargals were laughing hysterically.
"Hey!" Shouted Duncan defending his butler. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" He taunted.
"Like you?" Markus said sneering.
"Oops." Duncan grabbed Shannon's hand and they ran. Shannon was screaming.
The wargals cut them off and chased them. The children climbed over a large skeleton of a beast long dead. The wargals were biting at their heels. They reached the top and Duncan lost his footing and slid down the other side of of the bumpy skeleton. They bolted away and clambered up a slope.
"Duncan! Ahhh!" Shannon screamed and Duncan saw her sliding down the slope towards the gnashing teeth of the wargals.
Duncan rushed down the slope and punched the wargal hard across the snout as he made a grab for Shannon. He left a huge mark. The wargal growled.
The two children ran into a wide mouthed cave. But it was a dead end. There were a few scattered bones here and there but otherwise bare. They turned to face the wargals with prominent fear on their faces.
"I order you to stop!" Duncan squeaked.
The wargals chuckled. "Haha. That was it? Do it again. Come on." Whitney taunted.
Duncan took a confident breath and was about to bellow at them to go away, when a deafening shout reverberated through the cave.
"ENOUGH!" It said. A haunting figure stalked towards the prince and Shannon. "Well, my servants, it seems you have done your job." He approached Duncan and grasped his cheeks, turning his face from side to side as if inspecting it.
Duncan pulled his face away and did his best to scowl at the fiend he knew to be Morgarath, baron of Gorlan fief and evil overlord.
"Markus, Whitney, will you please escort our friends here to their new living quarters." He ordered and left.
The wargals neared the children. Suddenly a voice of thunder came from the entrance to the cave.
"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Everyone looked and there stood the king. He raised his sword and attacked. He finished off the wargals in seconds.
The Duncan and Shannon ran into the kings arms and he embraced them both.
"I'm so glad you're both safe. You were gone for so long, and then we heard a commotion from the bone yard." The king said very relieved. "We can think up a punishment later. For now, let's go home."
The three went home. No one noticed the dark figure scowling at the king bringing his prize home. 'You will pay. I assure you.' He vowed.
AN: there it is. What did u think? I NEED IDEAS! I have no life and haven't seen a lot of Disney movies so keep it to the common ones. Thanks!
