Sofia : The Secret of Lake Vindure Part 1

Miranda's Narration

As I watch the kids grow into Confident young people, I think back to my own childhood. I have good memories and really bad memories from my life. However, I have no idea that a part of my bad memoires will be coming back in a way that no one should have ever done.

As the royal family is asleep, Miranda is right by Roland's side in bed asleep. However her dreams will be plagued with horrible things. Miranda is back at her Childhood home as she is an adult looking back as she see a young version of herself going into the backyard as she hears something crush as it touchdown to the ground. plus a ghostly figure appears to her as it it following her. as they see the young Miranda spots a Mysterious winged being who is Injured.

"Destiny can be a mysterious thing Miranda". The ghostly being said to her as he is also like the injured being lying on the ground.

Miranda is stunned as she notice the spirt of the Winged being arriving in her dream. "Why did you bring me back to my childhood"? Miranda asks the spirit as she is very perplexed.

The Mystical being ghost look at Miranda as it is very important. "Reflecting about how things happen can help remember things that were previous blocked. However, destiny will reunite you with an Ever Realm Human that saved your life from a different incident that took place in your youth". The mystical being said to Miranda as time jumps as Miranda is 12 years old as she was taken by two mysterious men.

Miranda is stunned as it is the very Camp that close early. she is stunned as she looks at the two man as they wearing strange outfits like they are bounty knights. they took her from her family while on vacation in the Kingdom of Enchancia as they place her in a very strange carriage. Miranda is in a strange container and don't know why she is being taken as they arrive to a caver on the other side of the Lake., young Miranda is being carried inside of it while the other evil people are waiting to do the horrible deed to her.

"Yes, those foolish humans named that lake after me without realizing what evil humans done to me inside of that very cave that you were brought to". The ghost of the mystical being said to her.

Miranda is stunned as she look at the being as it is very cruel on their part to name the lake after him. the ghost of the the mystical being nod as the evil people are doing the horrible things to Young Miranda as they place her in some sort of item.

"That item that they are using on you when you were merely 12 years old, it was used to end my life after that incident when you were seven years old". The ghost of the mystical being said to Miranda as he reveals a bombshell to her.

The ghostly spirit look at Miranda as some time went by as the people who did it have left. the people remaining are bounty knights who are on guard duty. all of an sudden, two older teen with wands and a tambourtia are attacking one of the teen who is wearing the amulet that Madeline has now.

Miranda look at the red headed teenage girl wearing an amulet.. "That teenager, why does she look so familiar"? Miranda asks the being as she is wondering if the being's family knew what happened to him.

The spirt of the mystical being look at her as it should be very obvious. "That is Gabriella. Don't you recognize the amulet that she is wearing"? The spirit of the mystical being said to Miranda

Miranda is stunned as she dose not realize it is the same person who will become a mother. "That amulet does look familiar. I guess it has been so long since I last saw her". Miranda said to them as she thinks back on it.

The two teens fight against the guards as they apprehended them. after that is over the teenage female is holding a magical and Mystical sword as she uses it to free young Miranda. as Miranda is stunned by the item that the teenage girl was using as she did not get a good look at the details of the sword. as the bounty knights were arrested, the two got Miranda to the hospital.

In an Hospital room. Gabriella is with Miranda as she is staying with her until her family arrived. The spirit of the Mystical being nod as they watched the interacted between Young Miranda and teenage Gabriella as it is brief. Josephine and Enrique are smiling as they went to their daughters.

Teenage Gabriella smiles to them as her job is done. "Miranda, one more thing, even though you have been through a terrible and traumatic experience, never let that control you and control who you are". Teenage Gabriella said to young Miranda as she gives her advice for going forward.

Miranda is stunned as she remembers about it. "I remember her telling me that I just never realized how right she was back then". Miranda said to the being as she thinks about things as she watches her younger self saying goodbye.

Adult Miranda is stunned as she dose not realize that she has met Gabriella before year ago. the scene changes yet again as they are back in the Cave again. she walk down as she see the stranger being that was trapped with her when she was seven year old. Miranda look at the plaques as it has a date of death on the cross like statue of the being that visited her. she turns around as she notice another cross like statue of an different person.

The ghostly spirit of the Mystical being look at Miranda as there is one other thing that he need to tell her. "One other thing, the item that your savior used that freed you will appear to the new chosen one when he admits the flaws that he has to the person that you rather vilify than seeing him as a true ally that he truly is". The mystical being said to Miranda as tells her about it.

Miranda is stunned as she is a bit confused about who he meant. "Wait, who are you talking about"? Mirada asks as she hears screams someone is being forced to eat something that they don't want as the dream ends.

Miranda wake up as she has cold sweat on her forehead as she is stunned by the dream. she sighs as it was a strange dream to say the least. Roland also wake up as he see Miranda awake and a bit startled.

"Miranda, what's wrong? It is 3:00 AM". Roland said to Miranda as he is wondering what's wrong.

Miranda look at Roland as she sighs as it is early. "I'm sorry Roland. I had a very strange dream about a particular summer when I was 12 years old". Miranda said to Roland as she reveals a couple of marks on her shoulders and neck.

Roland is stunned and a bit confused about things as he look at the marks on her. "When you were 12 years old Miranda, is that when the summer camp closed early". Roland said to Miranda as he is wondering about it.

Miranda nod as she look at him. "Yeah, it was strange though. It was like a lot of those memories were coming back to me and I saw and met the person who saved me back then. It turns out that it was Madeline's birth mother. She stayed with me until my parents came into the hospital room. In the dream a strange ghostly being told me that the item that she used to free me will reveal itself to a person who will admit his flaws to a person who I rather vilify than seeing him as a true ally ". Miranda said to Roland as she explains about it.

Roland is stunned as he look at Miranda as he thing about things. "An item do you remember what it looked like from the dream"? Roland asks Miranda as he is wondering about it.

Miranda look at Roland as she think back to the dream. "Not really, I saw teenage Gabriella holding a sword of some sort, but I couldn't tell what kind it was let alone the design of it". Miranda said to Roland as she is not sure what kind of sword it was.

Roland nod as he look at Miranda as he can understand about it. "It is going to be ok Miranda. The kids will be at camp I mean what could go wrong". Roland said to Miranda as he explains about it. Miranda agrees as they hug and kiss as they went back to sleep.

In the Morning, the kids have their things to go off to Camp as they are getting in the flying carriage. the kids especially Madeline is excited about Camp as they are getting in the things into the trailer. James gets in the carriage with his siblings and Parents.

"So where is this camp anyways"? James asks his parents

Roland look at James as he nods as it is a simple question. "It is in the Avery Mountains". Roland said to the kids as they seem excited about it.

James nod as they head out to Camper. as they into the Mountains in the Kingdom, the kids look down as they get a view of the lake as it has a weird shape to it like a pair of wings. "What lake is that dad"? Amber asks Roland as she is curious about it.

Roland look at them as he is very familer with the lake. "That's called Lake Vindure". Roland said to them as he liked how it shaped like a pair of wings.

The kids look at the lake from the carriage as they see it look like a pair of wings. "Hmm, do you think it looks like an angel's wings or a bird's wings"? Madeline asks them as she is wondering about the closeness of the shape of it.

The other kids look at the shape of the lake as they are wondering about it. "Maybe a bird Maddie, plus mom, dad, Madeline is not going to last long at the camp. Why have her come to the camp with us"? Sofia asks them as she thinks that Madeline is not going to last very long.

Madeline is stunned as she look at Sofia as she is shocked by her words. "Oh come on Sofia, yes this is going to be my first time at camp, but I am not going to throw in the towel so soon without a good valid reason". Madeline said to Sofia as she is defending herself.

Sofia is stunned by this as she shrugs to her as Amber and James look at each other. "Dad, if any one of us other than Madeline sends you letters to come get us, then you and mom may get us. Please don't assume that it will be Madeline that will write it first". James said to them as he is defending her.

Roland look at James as he nods in agreement with James. "Fair enough James", Roland said to them as the carriage is making their descend towards Camp Wilderwood.

Miranda Nods as thay are making their descent to the Camp as they drop off their stuff and the Kids they get the registration done. the parents say good bye to the Kids as they left the camp. as the Royal siblings get register, Madeline has this bracelet that Maple placed on her.

Madeline is stunned at this look at the Bracelet. "What the, why do I had to wear this bracelet"? Madeline asks them as she does not like this.

Maple look at Madeline with a sweet smile as the girl dose not like the bracelet. However, she has the key to the look on the bracelet that is hidden from view of Madeline. However, someone did notion that the woman is holding the key. "This bracelet will be your new best friend while you are at camp". Maple said to Madeline as she said it in a happy tone.

As Madeline walks away. Maple has a smile on her face as it has some evil intention in it. as the siblings met their tent mates, Madeline has a girl named Mandy as her tent mate. Madeline sight as it is going to be one long summer session at the Camp.

Madeline sighs as she rejoins her siblings as they are walking around Camp toghter as they do not see a lot of familer faces. as they spot Jennifier who put her things into a tent, they went over to her as they are suprpised to see her.

"Jennifer, you are here too". Sofia said to Jennifer as she is wondering how she know about this camp.

Jennifer nods as she look at the Enchancia royals Kids. "Yeah I am here too. Plus according to the sheet, Amber, you and I are going to be tent mates". Jennifer said to them as she reveals about it. Amber nods as she is looking forward to it.

Amber nod as she look at Jennifer as it is not going to be with a stranger. "That's good". Amber said to them as James is starting to scratch himself.

James sighs as he look at them as he is wondering about things. "That's good and all but is your dad here or something"? James asks Jennifer as he is wondering about it.

Jennifer look at James as the guy must have stepped into itching Ivy that no one noticed including the two people running the camp. "Follow me please", Jennifer said to them as she takes the Enchancia royal kids to the safe zone that was put into place. As Jennifer says a code word, it is not long that a male camp staffer arrives. He removes his disguise as Lorenzo is here at the camp.

Madeline is stunned as she is wondering how this is possible. "Huh, how come he is here? Parents are not allowed to get tours of the camp". Madeline said to them as it is very unusual.

Lorenzo look at them as he sighs as he need to explain about it. "Jennifer and I are here undercover to find out if Camp Wilderwood deserves to be open next summer and get accreditation from the Ever Realm Camping Association. It is from a camper perspective and from an adult perspective. So far, I am not really impressed". Lorenzo said to them as he and Jennifer set up things up prior to the opening of camp for the summer.

The Kids are stunned by this as Madeline is wondering what else Lorenzo dose beside teaching. Jennifier nod as she look at them. "I am willing to give the camp a chance with shadow of a doubt until proven otherwise with strong evidence. Plus it is important not tell anyone about our assignments. If it got told to everyone, the mission will be ruined". Jennifer said to them as it is a very important thing.

The Kids nod as they understand that Jennifier and Lorenzo are here on assignment. "We understand but why am I so itchy all of the sudden"? James asks them as he is scratching himself.

Lorenzo frown as he knows that James dose not have any food allergies. "James, did you step into a plant by any chance that has a cluster of three leaves"? Lorenzo asks James as he is wondering about if he stepped into things.

James is stunned by it as Sofia is deeply surprised to learn that there was a plant that should be avoided. "Yeah, I did not really notice it". James said to Lorenzo as he is scratching at it.

Lorenzo sighs as he grab out a potion for this situation. "You must have stepped into itching ivy and didn't even know it James". Lorenzo said to James as he hands the lotion to him.

James put the lotion type of potion on his skin as he feel better already as it making the itching stop and the spot are slowly going away. "Thanks", James said to Lorenzo as he is glad that the itching stopped.

Lorenzo nod as he look at James as he is pleased about it. "Good leaves of three stay away", Lorenzo said to them as he gives them a catchy saying to remember about it. The kids nod as their chat is over. Lorenzo went back into the male camp staffer as they depart from the safe zone.

It has been one week since the kids went off to Camp as Roland and Miranda didn't get any letters from the Kids. they sigh as they think that Camp is going well. today was the day for them to head to the Kingdom of Jewelria to meet with King Mark about Cordelia. Roland look kind of uneasy about meeting his former brother in law.

"With the kids away at camp, it will give us time to visit with King Mark". Miranda said to Roland as they are getting in a carriage as Baileywick is going with them.

Roland nod as he look at Miranda as he is not sure how well this will go. "Yeah not only that, he doesn't have his royal sorceress anymore". Roland said to Miranda as he is getting ready for the down fall of the royal sorceress.

Miranda look at Roland as he is preparing for the fall out with another kingdom over it. "Maybe there is something going on that we were not aware about that Cordelia was involved in". Miranda said to Roland as she does look optimistic about it.

Roland nod as they get in as Baileywick is going with them to the Kingdom of Jeweler. as they arrive to the Kingdoms, they went straight to the royal castle as it is huge as they see that their another carriage from a different Kingdom that is leaving as it took off in a hurry. they knock on the door as a woman answers it as she is 4'0' woman.

"Welcome to the Jewelria castle, my name is Chantel the royal stewardess of the castle. How can I assist you today"? Chantel asks the royals as she sighs as she hopes that they are more well-mannered than the royal that just left the castle

Roland is stunned by the 4'0' dwarf woman as he is glad that no one is here currently. "We are here to see King Mark". Roland said to Chantel as Miranda also surprised by the short woman.

Chantel nod as she look at them as she agrees. "Follow me; King Mark is in the living room. He just concluded a meeting with the queen of Domincia, and she was not happy". Chantel said to them as she told them about the person that was there last before them.

Miranda is stunned by this as she is wondering who the person is "What do you mean"? Miranda asks Chantel as she is wondering about it.

Chantel look at Miranda as they went inside as they went to the living room. "Well she left in a huff like an overly entitled woman does. I think she hates the fact that a source of things was cut from her son rather abruptly". Chantel said to Miranda as they walk in the living room.

Roland look at Chantel as he is getting the feeling that it might have something to do with Cordelia. Chantel look at King Mark as he is trying to relax from the bad meeting.

"King Mark, the royals from Enchancia and their royal steward Baileywick is here to see you". Chantel said to Mark as she tells him that they are here.

King Mark nod as he thanks Chantel as he is stunned and surprised to see Roland. "King Roland the second, this is an unexpected surprise, and it has been a long time". Mark said to Roland as there is a new woman in his life. He remembers Baileywick when Lorelei was Roland's wife.

Roland nod as he look at Mark as they take a seat. "It has been a long time King Mark and a long minute". Roland said to Mark as he is curious about the woman's name that Chantel was talking about.

Mark nod as he look at them as they take a seat. "I have not seen you since Lorelai's funeral. Plus I don't think I have met you yet". Mark said to Miranda as he is wondering who is Roland's wife is now.

Miranda nod as she look at Make as she see the familiar blond hair like Amber has in him. "My name is Miranda". Miranda said to Mark as she introduces herself to him.

Mark nod as he can tell that Miranda is very different from his departed sister. "Let me guess the two of you are here because of Cordelia Greystone". Mark said to them as he has a feeling about it.

Roland nod as he look at Mark as he is wondering how that went exactly. "Yes we are King Edward. I do deeply apologize about you losing your royal sorceress in an unexpected manner". Roland said to Edward as he is apologizing about it.

Mark sighs as he look at them as he shake his head as there is no need to apologize. "It is not your fault King Roland. When Cordelia's parents came to get Calista's things and told me the news and gave me the arrest report, I was shocked by things as I had to talk with my kids about it. They were a bit upset that she committed a crime, but my oldest was happier that Cordelia was gone. Plus I informed other royals that Cordelia had in contact with to black list her from any other job opportunity if and when she got out. One of them was furious about what happens and mean less to say Queen Gloria of Dominica was furious and demanded me that she get pardoned and unblack listed from getting a job as a royal sorceress again. Apparently her son goes to Cordelia for magical pranks". Mark said to them as he explains about it.

Roland is stunned by this as things are staring to make sense to him and Miranda "That is the carriage that we saw flying out from the castle had the Domincia flag on the carriage". Miranda said to Mark as she is wondering who that woman is.

Roland nod as he look at Mark as he is curious about things about Cordelia. "Mark, did you notice anything strange or odd when Cordelia was working for you"? Roland asks Mark as he is wondering about it.

Mark look at them as he nod to him as there were a few things that stood out. "Yes there were little things. I didn't think much about it at first, but when the arrest report came in, I decided to look around in her workshop. That's when I discovered this journal that Cordelia kept". Mark said to them as he has the journals with him as he hands them to Roland and Miranda to read.

Miranda read the various entries as she gasp by some of them. "That would explain the confession that she made in anger the other day". Miranda said to them as she thinks about it.

King Mark is stunned by this new revelation as he is a bit confused about it. "What confession Queen Miranda"? King Mark asks Miranda as he is wondering what it was about . .

Miranda look at them as she need to tell him about it. "She made a confession about why she liked Sofia. Plus she hates that she got haunted by anyone that resembled Gabriella Garcia Roberts". Miranda said to them as she explains about it.

King Mark is stunned by the name as he smirk to them as it is someone that he has not heard from in a long while. "Gabriella Garcia Roberts, I hadn't hear that name in a while". King Mark said to them as he knows her.

Miranda is stunned as she is very confused about it. "Wait, you knew Gabriella". Miranda said to Mark as she is wondering about it.

Mark nod as he look at them as it is very obvious. "Yeah, I knew her. She is Lorelei's best friend. However the last time I saw her, she was here to talk with my father. She had so much evidence with her that he didn't have a leg to stand". Mark said to them as he reveals the last time he saw her

Roland is stunned by this as he is very confused about things. "My first Father in law, what did he do exactly"? Roland ask Mark as he is wondering about things.

Mark nod as he look at Roland as there were things that he was not aware about. "Yeah, Lorelei asked Gabriella to investigate into my father. She was insistent to do it. She wanted to know why the woman who saved her life had met my father before but didn't even know who he was at the time prior to meeting Lorelei. Lorelei asked Gabriella to keep the identity of the woman hidden from her father when investigating things to protect her from any retaliation that he might have towards her. Lorelei did say that the woman's name was Miranda, but she made me promise her to keep it as a secret. I honored that wish because I never met a person named Miranda before and didn't have a picture of her to go on at the time". Mark said to them as he is aware of the visit.

Roland is stunned and a bit confused about it as he realizes that it could be referring to his wife. "Wait a minute, my wife's name is Miranda". Roland said to them as he is wondering about things.

Mark nod as he look at them as he realization is about to come in. "Yeah, when Gabriella showed up with a lot of evidence proving that he was deeply deceived by a couple in Norberg, giving him actual facts about the woman, and proving that my father got wrongful information about the woman, she urged him to turn himself in to the Royal Tribunal Council tell them the names involved for a lighter sentence and give up the throne to me as she said that I am not involved with what my father did and the evidence that she had proved it. Well, long story shorter is that my father did think about turning himself in, but someone ended my father's life before he could turn himself in. Gabriella was not involved with that case due to the conflict of being on that case prior. It is a protocol in magical investigation. A part of me thinks that someone didn't want him to confess to the Royal Tribunal Council while another part of me thinks that it was another enemy of my father who had no involvement with what happened with the woman. At the same time, my father did not get along with a lot of people regardless if they are royalty, non-royalty, and or magical". Mark said to them as he reveals about it.

Miranda is stunned by this as she had no Ides about any of it. "Magical, your father did not get along with magical beings". Miranda said to Mark as she is curious about it.

Mark nod as he look at them. "Yeah my father had a lot of laws that were written to discriminate against those who were magical, witches, wizards, sorcerers, sorceresses, and any magical being. He sees those who were magical as second class citizens and treated them as such. He once jailed a five year old girl for doing magic for the first time and exiled her family for encouraging her to do magic. Mean less to say, the grand magical council had to get involved in it and sanctioned the kingdom for it and demanded that the girl gets pardoned and returned to her family. Plus when Lorelei was in a relationship and going to get married to a magical man, he and your father teamed up to force her to end the engagement and relationship. When he died a lot of magical beings had their reservations about investigating it including Gabriella. However due to her involvement with an investigation that he was in, she could not investigate it due to protocol". Mark said to them as he reveals that he jailed a kid for doing magical things.

Roland is stunned as he did not know that one. "What, that is insane. A kid can't be jailed for doing magical or being magical". Roland said to Mark as it is an insane law.

Mark look at them as he nod in agreement. "I told my father that, but he didn't listen to me. He said that a child doing magic is not allowed and makes the child better than everyone else. He's said that the child needed to be punished regardless and did it anyways. When I took the throne, I inherited the problems that my father made in the kingdom, and I changed the laws. I wanted the kingdom that Lorelei would like for it become. Of course when she died, I wanted to make her proud because I didn't want to become just like my father. I wanted to fix the relations between royals and magical beings. I am not proud to be his son, but I want to become a king that didn't follow the footsteps of my father". Mark said to them as he explains about it. As the talks conclude, Roland and Miranda learns more about things that they did not know about. Roland, Miranda, and Baileywick get in the carriage as they head back to the Enchancia castle.

Back at Camper, the kids frowns as it has been one stranger camp so far. it is especially for Madeline as she hates the bracelet and other things. Sofia give Madeline a look as she know what she is trying to do.

"Madeline that bracelet is to keeping your safe". Sofia said to Madeline as she gives her a look.

Madeline look at Sofia as she give her a look of how can you say that. "Safe sure but I just have this bad vibe about it. Plus who suggested to our parents about this place anyways ". Madeline said to Sofia as she is wondering who suggested this camp to them.

Sofia look at Madeline as she agrees as this place is very stranger. "You are right about that Madeline". Sofia said to Madeline as she is wondering what this place hiding is.

Madeline nod as she look at Sofia as she notice that Jennifer is observing the things going on at Camp. "Yeah, plus I can't stop thinking about how mom was so quiet and distant like something was bothering her". Madeline said to Sofia as she is wondering why she was so quiet.

Sofia is slightly annoyed about it. "Madeline please mom is fine you will see her after camp is over. It is just for few more weeks". Sofia said to Madeline as she tells her that it will be a bit longer

Madeline look at Sofia as she is dismayed that she is thinking that she need her. "Sofia, I am not asking for mom. I am asking you if you think something is up with mom". Madeline said to Sofia as she is dismayed about it.

Sofia is stunned by this as she is a bit confused. "Madeline", Sofia said to Madeline as she is wondering what got her mad.

Madeline look at Sofia as she glares at her. "Just because I am thinking about her, it does not mean that I miss her and need her. All I want to know that you and I are on the same page about it. It turns out that we are not on the same page about it". Madeline said to Sofia a she is mad at her.

Sofia is stunned as she look at Madeline as she is getting the feeling that Madeline say things in a different context of things. "Maddie, I do think that something is up with mom. I just didn't think that you were not missing her and need her. I am on the same page just didn't know what is on your mind ok". Sofia said to Madeline as she is finally getting it. Madeline nods as she looks at Sofia as she sees that the girl is on the same page as her.

Sofia nod as they went to the next Camp activity as they don't realize that Mandy overheard the conversation. she frowns as the girl was hoping that Madeline wanted her mom, but in reality she didn't need her at that time. "It is time to think big". Mandy said to herself as she is coming up with another plan.

As the tent mate walk away, it get noticed by Jame as he is wondering what Mandy is up to as he went up to Amber.

"Hey Amber, do you have any idea what is up with Mandy? Every time I went to talk to one of my tent mates named Zack, he gets very weirded out by Mandy. Not only that, Zack avoids Madeline like the plague even though Madeline did nothing to him at all. Plus, I even asked my other tent mate named Wendell. He told me that Mandy is just a normal girl". James said to Amber as he is wondering what is with her.

Amber look at James as she is not sure about it. "I don't know James. Plus I don't like how she is getting so close to her already". Amber said to James

as she notice how Jennifer is observing Mandy from a distance. "Not only that, Jennifer has been observing things super closely as well. It maybe that she knows something that we don't know". Amber said to James as she is wondering if the girl knows things.

James nod in agreement as they need to talk to her. "Yeah, plus, I think we should talk to Jennifer if she knows anything that is going on that we are not seeing". James said to Amber as they come up with a plan to do just that.

Back at the castle, it has been another few weeks since the kids are at Camp. Today, Miranda is in her officer as she is doing some work as she is thinking about the request that Sofia asked her awhile back and the Impending arrival of someone. m Miranda that it is very stranger that the kids have not sent letters home to them about camper. they know that no news is good news. However, the worry is getting raised about it. Roland walked in the room as he see that Miranda is in thinking mood.

"Miranda, is something on your mind"? Roland asks Miranda as he is wondering about it.

Miranda look at Roland as she nod as she is also holding the handkerchief that James brought back to her when she and Jennifier who were in Madeline's body at the time meet with one of her friends in a different Kingdom.

"Roland, we are going to have two more kids entering the castle our son and Madeline's twin. There are going to be some changes like to the stain glass window, your pocket watch, and the bedrooms. Plus, not only that, Sofia did ask us if she can have her own room. Plus with the kids getting older, they probably don't want to share the same bathroom as their brothers". Miranda said to Roland as she is wondering about it." as they make a decision about it.

Roland nod as he look at Miranda as he even thought about things. "Yeah plus I think we should let Sofia get her own room. I mean sooner or later, Sofia will need a lot more space from Madeline". Roland said to Miranda as he wants to reduce the tension between the two girls.

Miranda look at Roland as she agrees about it. "I agree with you deeply Roland. Plus, what do you have in mind"? Miranda asks Roland as she is wondering about it.

Roland nod as he look at Miranda as he came up with a plan. "Exactly, plus I was thinking that Sofia's new room will be on the second floor of the castle and over time we will move Amber then Madeline and her twin to that floor. Plus I am thinking that we will need to hire a female royal steward for the girl's floor. After meeting Chantel, it got me thinking about that, and you need a right hand lady like Baileywick is my right hand man". Roland said to Miranda as he explains about it.

Miranda nod as she agrees about it as she dose need a right hand person. "I agree and all for it Roland. Plus, I do want to see how well this person will be around Baileywick as well". Miranda said to Roland as she does want to see how Baileywick and the new person will work together. Roland agrees about things as he writes it down.

Roland nod in agreement about that front, "I am with you on that front. Not only that, Madeline have no idea that she have a twin who she hasn't met or even know about. Plus I rather want to have proper birth certificate or paperwork of Madeline and twin to see who the older child is and what not". Roland said to Miranda as he has some concerns about it.

Miranda nod as she look at Roland as she agrees about it. "Yeah I know. I am just not sure who to ask about it. I mean there is Lorenzo but I just don't know about asking him. I know that he is the girl's biological uncle, but I just don't want him to take them away from us. Plus, the way that he enters parenthood is a bit unconventional to me". Miranda said to Roland as she does have concerns about it.

Roland look at Miranda as he think about things. "I know where you are coming from about the unconventional part in things. However, it is possible that had a reason why he went that route to become a parent that he had not shared with people yet. He is the kind of man who doesn't judge them at first sight and glance. He does opens up about tough issues and explains things in a way that a kid will understand. I am actually jealous of how open he is on things. I just don't know how he does it". Roland said to Miranda as he explains about it.

Miranda nod in agreement with Roland about it. "I have to admit. I am a bit jealous about that part too. I just see how open he about it and my first thought is to shelter kids about it especially Jennifer". Miranda said to Roland as she does have her concerns about it. "Do you think that the kids are having fun at camp right now"? Miranda asks Roland as she is wondering about it.

Roland nod as he look at Miranda. "I think so Miranda. Plus I think it is getting really strange and odd that we haven't gotten letters from the camp or them". Roland said to Miranda as he is finding things strange and odd.

Miranda nod as she look at Roland as she has her gut instincts. "I know Roland something must be going on at camp". Miranda said to Roland as she is thinking about the bad signs.

Roland nod as he is not sure. "I know. However, I can't rush into a place without some sort of evidence that proves things. I don't want to be viewed as being overreacted about things". Roland said to Miranda as he does not want to go in like overly protective parents.

Miranda look at Roland as she frown as she give him a look. "Roland, have you notice any red flags about Camper Wilderwood"? Miranda asks Roland as she is wondering about it.

Roland look at Miranda as there are several red flags. "Well the only three red flag is the fact that the kids have not sent letters to us. Plus the second red flag is that the camp reopened for the first time in a really long time back in January. When I got the news, I thought it will be a good idea to show them the place where I went to summer camp at. Plus it is viewed as circumstantial evidence and not good enough to charge to pull out our kids. The third red flag is that we did not get a tour of the camp. They said that it will be too quick for a tour". Roland said to Miranda as he does want some sort of physical evidence than just circumstantial evidence.

Miranda look at Roland as she nod as she can see where he is coming from. "I know it just I want my babies back home". Miranda said to Roland. as Roland agrees as they will need to wait for my physical evidence about it.

Roland nods in agreement as he think about things especially Lorenzo. "Maybe Rosa knows something about the camp that we don't know". Roland said to Miranda as he realizes that there is another way.

Miranda nod as she look at Roland as it is a good idea. "Roland, you are a genius. Why we didn't think about this before". Miranda said to Roland as she grabs her two way mirror to call Rosa. "Rosa, it is Miranda. Do you know anything about Camp Wilderwood"? Miranda asks Rosa as she is wondering about it.

Rosa is on the other end of the call as she is on board of the the Ever Realm Camping Association. "Miranda, I am actually in the middle of a board meeting of an organization that over sees summer camps". Rosa said to Miranda as she gives her a look.

Miranda is stunned and a bit confused as she and Roland dose not know that. "An organization that over sees summer camps like Camp Wilderwood", Miranda said to Rosa as she realizes that she and Roland are living underneath a rock about it.

Rosa give a Look at Miranda as she realizes that their kids are at Camp. "Miranda, Lorenzo and Jennifer have been at the camp doing undercover work to investigate to see if Camp Wilderwood deserves to be accredited, deserves to be reopening next summer, and among other thing. They have been consistent in their findings and report back to me and King Charles the second of Wimonia. Their findings are more than enough to shut down camp early". Rosa said to them as she gives them the news.

Miranda is stunned by this as she has no idea that Lorenzo and Jennifier were undercover. "Really, I had no idea about this". Miranda said to Rosa as she realizes that he was there this whole time.

Rosa nod as she give Miranda a harsh glare about things, "Yeah, plus I do not know what is your problem with Lorenzo is, but you need to sort things out with him. He is a good man just like Roland. Plus, here is a reality check Miranda, you, Roland, and Lorenzo have things in common, and the three of you are the same in more ways than one that you need to consider, admit yourself and to him that you have been unfairly vilifying him. Also by the way, Lorenzo has given us the code word to have the camp shut down to give the camp directors a very rude awakening just like I gave one to you right now". Rosa said to Miranda as she hangs up the call on her.

Miranda is stunned by this as Roland is very quiet about things. "Lorenzo was undercover this whole time. I wish he could say something to us Roland". Miranda said to Roland as she is wondering why he never said anything to them about it.

Roland look at Miranda as it is a good question. "I know but he and Jennifer gotten that evidence. It must mean that the camp is hiding more than we thought". Roland said to Miranda as he is wondering what kind of evidence was gathered.

---

Back at Camp, Jennifier is walking around the camp as she has been sensing magical energy and anomalies, and it is confirmed with a device that she has as well. she frown as one of them is moving around like it is on someone while the other location is at the tent on the girl's side. However she frown as the tent is question is Madeline and Mandy's tent. as she write it down. Amber come up to her as she is wondering what she is up. Jennifer sense's Amber's presents as she put the items away.

Amber look at Jennifer as she is wondering what the girl is up to.

"Hey Jennifer, is everything alright"? Amber asks Jennifer as she is wondering about it.

Jennifier look at Amber as she know that this is not safe to talk. as they went to the safe zone on the camp ground. Jennifer contacts her dad to come over as well. It is not long that he come as he look at them. "What's going on Jennifer"? Lorenzo asks Jennifer as he is wondering about it.

Jennifier look at Lorenzo and Amber as now is good of an time to talk. "You know the moving magical energy anomaly that I keep getting consistent readings throughout camp so far". Jennifer said to Lorenzo and Amber as she shows him and Amber the moving magical anomaly.

Amber is stunned and a bit confused about things. "I am sorry what a magical energy anomaly is, and explain it to me if I am James". Amber said to them as she is wondering what it is.

Jennifier look at Amber as she nod as Lorenzo is here to see it this as he give her the nod to explain it to her as he knows that Amber is a good person. "I have a special ability to sense magical energy anomalies. It is a thing that is very mysterious that shouldn't be there, but it is there that is caused by an evil person or an evil being. That is the reason why you see me meditating. Every day since even prior to camp got started, there are a few magical energy anomalies, and the bracelet that Madeline is wearing is one of the newer ones". Jennifer said to Amber as she explains about it.

Amber is stunned as she did not know that Jennifier has that kind of ablity. "So what the anomaly is and where it is located". Amber said to Jennifer as she is putting two and two together.

Jennifer nod as she look at Amber as the girl is getting it. "Precisely, now you are getting it". Jennifer said to Amber as the girl is more accepting of it.

Amber nod as she is putting two and two toghter about the bracelet that Madeline is wearing. "Madeline's bracelet, it is the same one that she is trying to pull off but couldn't". Amber said to Jennifer as she is wondering about it.

Jennifer nod as she look at Amber. "Yes, it has magic in it that kept her from taking it off. Not only that, when I see it during meal time, there is some sort of magical lock on it". Jennifer said to them as she sees that there is a magical lock on it.

Jennifier look at them as Lorenzo frowns as this is a huge violation of the Grand Magical Council. "It is illegal to place magical locks on things and people. However security spells are allowed". Lorenzo said to them as it needs to be reported.

Amber is stunned as she look at Lorenzo as she has never heard of this Council before. "The Grand Magical Council", Amber said to Lorenzo as she is wondering what it is.

Lorenzo nod as he look at Amber as he will explain it to her. "It is a very special council has a lot to do with magic and the regulations of the magical side of things". Lorenzo said to Amber as he explains to her a bit about it.

Amber look at Lorenzo as she knows what it is exactly. "So since there is a magical lock on the bracelet, how can we find the key to it"? Amber asks them as she is wondering about it.

Lorenzo looks at them as it is going to be a tall order, "We will have to recover it from the person who has it and get proof of the key in the hands of the person who made it and has it. Plus I do want to confirm that the bracelet does have magical properties and the magical lock on Madeline. Plus to truly identify who made the bracelet and lock is to track down the magical signature of the bracelet and the magical lock on it". Lorenzo said to them as there is a way to identify it.

Amber is stunned by this as she never heard of an magical signature before. "A magical signature, is it like when you sign for things magically"? Amber asks them as she is wondering about it.

Lorenzo look at Amber as he grins to her as he shake his head no to her. "Not exactly, a magical signature is a fingerprint of a magical being or magical item. Like a fingerprint, no two magical signatures are the same, but it can evolve through very special requirements". Lorenzo said to Amber as he grabs out his wand and tambourita as he draws out his magical signature to her.

Amber is stunned by it as there are all sorts of bright colors in his. "Woah, that is really cool, but why are there so many bright colors in it"? Amber asks Lorenzo as she is wondering about it.

Lorenzo nod as he look at Amber as he will explain it to her. "Well the colors in your magical signature determine you true alignment of a good person or the bad person. The brighter the color, the good alignment you have, the darker the color the bad alignment you have". Lorenzo said to Amber as he explains about it.

Amber nod as she is getting it now as she is curious about things. "I am getting it now Lorenzo. Plus, what can we do about the bracelet and how to take it off though. Plus, Madeline is not going to open up to you easily'. Amber said to Lorenzo as she knows that Madeline does not open up to males easily.

Jennifier nod as she agrees about it as the Camper activity for art and crafts is Farther Day Cards.. "Not only is that, today's crafts Father's Day cards". Jennifer said to them as this is going to be a challenge.

Amber frown as she look at them as it is a huge disadvantage as well. "Father's Day is a very sensitive subject for Madeline". Amber said to Jennifer as she is wondering how that is going to work.

Lorenzo look at them as he has a smile on his face as it is not r based on Malice or delict. "Sensitive about a holiday, I can empathize with Madeline about it". Lorenzo said to them as he has a plan.

Amber is stunned as she look at Lorenzo as Jennifier agrees with her as she can understand that as well. "What you can empathize with her about it". Amber said to Lorenzo as she does not realize that there is a connection to bond over.

Lorenzo nod as he look at Amber as it is true as Jennifier know about it. "Yes I can Amber. You may not know this but Father's Day and Mother's Day is a sensitive subject for Jennifer and me, but it is not the reason that you may think it is. You just leave Madeline to me". Lorenzo said to Amber as he gives her a nod. Amber nods as she discovers that there is more to him that meets the eye.

Over at Art. Madeline frowns as she and the other kids are doing Father Day Cards. Madeline sighs as she is not sure how she want to do it. Mandy smirks as she notices that the others siblings are not near her as it is good time to mess with Madeline and mess her . as Madeline frown as she is getting mad at Mandy and told her to stop the male camp staff come in to stop it.

"Mandy, Madeline asked you to stop. So leave her alone. I want you to sit somewhere else to do your project". The male camp staffer said to Mandy as he told her to stop.

Mandy is stunned by this as Madeline is surprised that the male camp staffer stick up for her. "But Madeline needs to do a Father's Day card like the other kids. If her siblings are not going to force her to do it, I will". Mandy said to Madeline as she grabs a black permanent marker and wrote Happy Father's Day on the card. "There you have a card to give to your dad oh wait it will be for your step dad who does not love you". Mandy said to Madeline as she is proud of herself for it.

Madeline frowns as she is very angry as she is getting upset. the siblings are stunned by this as they glare at Mandy as she is laughing at Madeline. the Male camp staff quickly step in. "MANDY MAPLES OFFICE NOW". The male camp staffer said to Mandy as he writes her up.

Mandy is studded as the male camp staff is writing her up for it. plus Madeline is deeply surprised about things. "Fine", Mandy said to them as she leaves the camp activity to head towards the camp office.

Madeline is stunned as she is about to get an item to thow at Mandy. However the male camp staff stop her from grabbing things. "Hold it, let's take a walk", the male camp staffer said to Madeline as he made sure that Madeline did not grab the item to throw at Mandy.

Madeline is stunned as Amber give her a nod as it will be good for her. "Alright fine", Madeline said to the male camp staffer as she grabs the ruined card. The male camp staffer nods as the two of them leaves the art and craft activity as they went to the safe zone.

As they made it to the safe zone, the male camp staffer removes the disguise to reveal Lorenzo as Madeline is stunned as it is Jennifier dad. "Mr. Lorenzo, why did you stop me from throwing the cup of green paint at her? She deserved that". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she is mad that Mandy got to her like that.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as it is very obvious. "First of all, I didn't want you to stoop down to her level. Secondly, when you act out in anger, it is giving her what she wanted to get out of you. Lastly, I wanted to talk to you about another matter that I can deeply empathize with you over". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he explains about it.

Madeline is stunned as she look at Lorenzo. "What do you mean by stooping down to her level? I mean she wrote Happy Father's Day on my card. I do not like Father's Day at all. It is just a normal day that I am bitter over". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she sits down as she has her arms crossed.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as he sit down with her. "Well, Mandy crossed your boundary and ruined the card and saying that mean thing towards you. The potential getting back at her by throwing green paint is going to her level in misbehaving. However, it is not the right way to handle it. Plus to tell you the truth, Father's Day and Mother's Day is a hard day for me and Jennifer. Plus, if I have to guess, it has made a huge void in your heart for a long time hasn't it". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he reveals that those days are hard for him.

Madeline is stunned as she learns the two holidays are hard for him. "Really, how is it hard for you and Jennifer? I mean you are a grown up and Jennifer is a kid like me"? Madeline asks Lorenzo as she is wondering about it.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as he nod to her as he will reveal it to her. "It is true that I am a grown up. However, it is bittersweet to me from the pain of losing a child and my struggles to become a parent. Not only that, I have to deal with the fact that my father, mother, and sister are currently missing. For Jennifer, the bittersweet is from how she lost her birth mother when she was a new born baby and not having that female figure in her life until I met Rosa. Not only that, I have witnessed Jennifer being disowned by her birth father and her birth mother's parents for being a girl". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he explains about it to her.

Madeline is stunned as she had no idea how hard Farther Day and Mother Day is for Lorenzo and Jennifier. "Wow, I never thought about it like that. My first dad left before Father's Day and promised to be back by then, but he never came back home. How could he break his promise to me, mom, and Sofia? It is because of him that I hate Father's Day"? Madeline asks Lorenzo as she is asking about it.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as it is a hard question to answer. "I do not know. It is true that he is the one that created that void about Father's Day for you. However, do you blame your dad for creating that void"? Lorenzo asks Madeline as he is wondering about it.

Madeline look at Lorenzo as she sights to him. "Well no, it is just I am mad when he wants me to be a part of the celebrations of Father's Day". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she explains it to him.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as he spots it about things in her. "Oh I see. Just because he is trying to get you be a part of the celebrations, it does not mean that he is making the day worse for you. He is trying to change your views on it and give you a better experience on the day that your first day destroyed and ruined forever for you. Am I right"? Lorenzo asks Madeline as he figured it out.

Madeline is stunned as she look at Lorenzo as it is exactly it. "Yeah, not only that Mandy said that my step dad does not love me and it is true because he has a pocket watch that has Amber and James's pictures in it. It does not even have a picture of me and Sofia in it". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she reveals about it.

Lorenzo frowns as he look at Madeline as he realizes that Mandy is a master manipulator. "Madeline, do you know what the word manipulator means"? Lorenzo asks Madeline as he is going to give her a lesson.

Madeline is stunned by this as she look at Lorenzo as she shake her head to him. "No that is a teenager and grown up word". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she is wondering where he is going with it.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as he grabs out his wand as he conjures up a puppet. "A manipulator is a person that uses a person to think, feel, say, and do actions by controlling them. It does not require magic to do it. However, when a person manipulator another person, it is just like how a person is controlling the puppet. The controller will need to get close to the person that they want to use for their own personal gain". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he explains things to her that she will understand.

Madeline is stunned as it is exactly how Mandy has been thought out camp. "Woah, you are right about that. I just never realized how she is like that towards me all this time". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she is getting the feeling that Mandy is a manipulator.

Lorenzo nod as he look at Madeline as he agrees as he conquers another doll. "Exactly, now, I want you to poke at this doll". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he wants her to poke at it.

Madeline pokes at the doll and the dolls say stop toward her. "It said stop to me". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she is very surprised by it.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as he nod as the lesson continues. "Ok, I want you to poke at the doll multiple times". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he has a point in this lesson.

Madeline look at Lorenzo as she pokes at it. the more times she poke at the doll, the doll says stop it and the doll get bigger and bigger until it pops like a balloon. "Huh, why did it pop like that"? Madeline asks Lorenzo as she is surprised by it.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as he has a point in this lesson. "Well, you were constantly poking at the doll, the doll was telling you to stop. The more that was happening the doll grew bigger and bigger until it couldn't take it anymore and popped. Sounds familiar doesn't". Lorenzo said to Madeline as getting through to her. "The truth is when Mandy was poking at you and pushing at your buttons, she was trying to get you roused up. She went for the final blow by writing on the card, and she got you to respond back in anger and doing the wrong thing. She wanted you to get mad and angry. She wanted you to get into trouble and have her look like the victim not the other way around". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he explains things to her.

Madeline nod as she is getting things now as it will give her something to think about as she look at the bracelet that she has gotten. "I do understand it now. It is just when I tried to talk to the female camp staff, Marty, and Maple about her and ask her to change tent assignments. It is just a we will see we will see. Not only that, I have asked them to take this bracelet off and I have never seen a bracelet with this kind of design before". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she shows it to him.

Lorenzo nod as he look at Madeline as he grabs out a magical device out. "Well, I want to check things out about this bracelet first for evidently support. I take it that they placed this bracelet on you because you have some sort of medical issue that is already noted in your medical file at the castle and at school to make sure that you are safe from having a particular food item". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he is wondering about it.

Madeline nod as he look at Lorenzo as it is fair enough. "Yeah, I can't have cherries. I tried a cherry lollipop when I was little and then I cannot have cherries after that". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she explains about it.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as he is putting two and two toghter. "So cherries in a sweet treat or a baked good send red flags to those around you". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he is setting the magical device up.

Madeline nod as she look at Lorenzo as she nod to him. "Yeah, plus whenever I get sweets, it always gets shared with my siblings. Plus I do get excited about having them". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she explains things to him.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as he nod as having a food allergy can be a challenge to parents and friends when their child over at people house. "A food allergy can be challenging at times. Plus parents and other adults need to be aware about the allergy. One of my daughter's friends has a food allergy to nuts. While her allergy is more common than cherries, cherries can be present in various baked goods, sweets, jellies, and juices and other savory dishes. Plus, my rule of thumb, if a person made a food item by someone that you know that does not like you or it is made by a person that other people don't trust, it is more than likely it does have that particular allergen in it". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he has that rule.

Madeline nod as she look at Lorenzo as she can see where he is coming from. "I see what you can find out about this bracelet". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she shows it to him.

Lorenzo nod as he has a magical device to check. "Well just hold your wrist still for a few minutes; I can have this item analyzed faster than a cheetah in the wild". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he will find out about it.

Madeline sighs as she holds her wrist tha has the bracelet on her. she see the magical device working as it magically scans into the device. "What does that thing do anyways"? Madeline asks Lorenzo as she is wondering about it.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as the scan is complete. "Well, it is identifying to see magic was used to conjure the item, has signs of a magical lock on it, will show what kind of magical being that made the item, and whose magical signature it belongs to". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he explains about it.

Madeline is stunned as she has no idea that magical device dose that. "Really, I had no idea that it can do that". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she is curious about it as the scan is complete.

Lorenzo nod as the device has its results ready for him. "Exactly, this bracelet was made with magic by a fairy. Not only that, your bracelet tested positive for a magical lock on it. That deign here on the bracelet is the where the magical lock is located on the bracelet itself". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he shows her the proof about it.

Madeline is stunned as she learns that the bracelet has magical lock. "What, it has a lock on it all this time? When Maple said that the bracelet will be my new best friend, I didn't realize that she meant it like that". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she is getting mad about it.

Lorenzo nod as he look at Madeline as it is true. "Yes, it is actually a violation of the Grand Magical Council. It is illegal to use magical locks on items and people. They will say that the lock was needed to keep you from losing it. However, to disguise the magical lock it in a medical device is wrong and gives truly good medical devices a very bad name". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he is very mad about it.

Madeline sigh as she look at Lorenzo as she see that he is on her side about it. "Every time I ask about taking this thing off, they just say no. Plus the word no is not my kind of word". Madeline said to Lorenzo as she does not like the word no.

Lorenzo look at Madeline as he smirks to her as it is something that a kid would say. "No one likes it when a person says no to anyone including kids. However, you are underestimating the word no and the strength and power that it has to especially when someone says it to anyone". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he reveals something that she needs to consider

Madeline is stunned by this as she is wondering where he is going with it. "What, where are you going with this"? Madeline asks Lorenzo

as the song starts.

Lorenzo

The word No, it is just a two little word,

Just one syllable. and a complete sentence

At first glance it doesn't mean much to anyone.

And thinks the word stop is stronger because of the letter

But in reality, it is much stronger than you realize.

With the word no, it make your choice loud and clear.

To anyone who wants to ask if you want to do something or not.

With the word no, it set up a strong boundary that you put into place.

It like a special line drawn in the sand

That no one can cross or violate

It is louder then you think

It is stronger then you realize

It may be adult go to word

But it is a word that cannot be ignored

Yet it is a good word to have as well

Song ends

Madeline is stunned as she listens to the the words of the song. "So wait, are you saying that the word no can be used in other areas than a grown up making a decision on things that a kid wants"? Madeline asks Lorenzo as she is wondering about it.

Lorenzo nod as he look at Madeline as it is true. "Exactly, when you say the word no to someone, it can be a choice if you want to do something or not. It is true if you want some sweets or not. When you say no, it also forms a boundary on something of yours and that line is drawn in the sand. When you say no that was based on your emotions and feelings, it means that there is a deeper issue that is going on that needs to be addressed. When you say no when you are under duress and danger that is when the other person will be forcing things on you, and you will resist and fight back in self-defense. It is a powerful multi-purposeful word. That is the true ally of it all". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he explains things to her.

Madeline nod as she look at Lorenzo as she is learning a lot from no him. "Wow, I have never thought about it like that though". Madeline said to Lorenzo as things are making sense to him.

Lorenzo nod as he look at Madeline as he agrees. "Exactly, plus I think it is time that we head back". Lorenzo said to Madeline as he explains about it. Madeline nods in agreement as Lorenzo puts the male camp staff disguises on as they head back together.

Mewhile with James as he is struggling with Camp as the activities have not really interested him. not only that his two tent mates boys named Zack and another boy named Wendell are two very different people. He has been getting along with Zack more than with Wendell. plus his itching ivy went away with no problem. He went over to the lake after a disastrous enchanted rock climbing Camp activity as he slip and land in a muddy puddle he sighs as he grabs some paper and a pen to write a letter to his parents.

Dear Mom and Dad.

I know you meant well Mom and Dad. Please trust me this camp is really bad. I just want to go home. I am sure that Madeline does want to go home as well. We are having problems here at this camp, but only this one camp staffer is making it more tolerable, but it is not Maple and Marty.

James

James sighs as he look across the lake as he has some binoculars on him to get some sort of view of the other side of the Lake. "What is that place"? James asks himself as he is curious about it. He notices a canoe boat as he grabs a life jacket and paddle as he went over there. As he got to the other side of the lake, he spotted Wendell as he was up to something. "Wendell, what are you doing over here"? James asks Wendell as he is wondering why one of his tent mates is over here.

The Blond headed wizard named Wendell give Jame a look as the boy spotted him. "I want to check this cave out. A legend has it this cave is home to the spirit of the evil being that wanted to take over this part of the kingdom in ancient times. Legend has it that the spirit takes those who deeply disobey naughty kids who disobey their parents and turns those to stone in this winged cross". Wendell said to James as he explains about it.

James is stunned as he has never head of that legend before as he goes into the cave with Wendell as they are heading into it. they see a strange statue with wings as they see a stone like statue of a boy. "Did that spirit did that to this boy"? James asks Wendell as he is getting kind of scared like it has let his guard down.

Wendell nod as he see that the guard is down in the Enchancian Prince as he dose not reveal that he know it. "Yes, the spirit that haunts this lake did that to him. Now, hand me that letter that you have in your pocket and that won't happen to you". Wendell said to James as he wants the letter that he wrote to his parents.

James is stunned as he look at Wendell as he look at the statue as he feels that he has no other choice. "Fine you win". James said to Wendell as he hands the letter to the wizard. Wendell smirks as they leave cave together as they head back to the camp.

Wendell see James heading back to his tent as he went to get Marty and Maple as he hand the letters to them to discard. "Those Enchancian royals are really trying to reach out to their parents". Wendell said to them as he explains about it to them.

Maple sighs as Marty grins in agreement as they have no ides that they are under surveillance as a part of the undercover operation. "Agreed, but soon enough, we will get the red headed princess very soon regardless". Marty said to them as they laugh together. However, they have no idea that Lorenzo got that evidence as he submits it to the Ever Realm Camping Association. It is not too long after that Lorenzo got the go ahead to do the early camp shut down set for tomorrow morning as it will be rude awakening to the camp director and the female camp staffer.

That evening, the campers are heading back to their tents from the activities of the campfire and story. Plue Jennifier did see and document Mandy receiving a key from Maple as Campfire is almost over. she is going to head over to Madeline tent to confront Mandy. Madeline is back in her tent as she is preparing herself to be moved to a different tent the next day so she will never have to deal with Mandy again. Mandy returned as she see the young girl sitting on the bed.

"So do you want to hear a ghost story about the Lake Vindure and how it got its name"? Mandy asks Madeline as she is getting some stuffed toys over to Madeline's bunk.

Madeline is stunned as she learns that the older kids were told a camp fire story about the lake and how it got its name "A ghost story awesome", Madeline said to Mandy as she is intrigued by the story as she is not aware that the bears near her are Mandy's and laced with some sort of magic.

Mandy smirk as she look at Madeline as the stuffed animals are on her bunk. "Many years ago, a mystical creature haunted the woods of Mount Avery", Mandy said to Madeline as she is starting the story as she tries her a false legend.

Madeline is stunned as she learns that the mystical creature haunted the wood at their camp. "Really, my Dad told me a little of Mount Avery". Madeline said to Mandy as she is getting kind of tired more quickly than she thought.

Mandy look at Madeline as she has an sly expression on her face. "The mystical being terrified the people so much that the first king of Enchancia had to vanquish the creature and have him spend the rest of his days at the bottom of the lake. As legend has it on full moons; the spirit of the creature still haunts the lake and mountain side. The spirit takes those who are worthless to the cave and turn them to stone". Mandy said to Madeline as tells her the story.

Madeline gasps by the fear of the story as she is hugging the teddy bear close to her. "Turns them to stone", Madeline said to Mandy as she is wondering about it.

Mandy nods as she looks at them as she is giving her some wrong information. "Yeah they say that the mystical creature was called the Vindure creature because of its bird like wings". Mandy said to Madeline as the bear in her arms and surrounding her is taking its effect.

Jennifier walk in the room as she glares at Mandy as she has evidence of the bears. "Telling Madeline false information again Mandy", Jennifer said to Mandy as she is getting ready to stop her.

Mandy is stunned as Jennifier came into the tent as she give her a look. "Jennifer, what brings you here? I mean your tent is just a few down. Let me guess, worry Worts James and Sofia asked you to check on her since she missed out on their activities"? Mandy asks Jennifer as she gives her a look.

Jennifier look at Mandy as Madeline very confused. "They did not ask me to those things. I came on my own accord. Plus, I saw you receiving a key from Maple at campfire tonight. You seem awfully chum with her when Madeline and other kids in the same household to get her to do something for them when legitimate issues came up at camp". Jennifer said to Mandy as she brings out the fact that Mandy is very close to Maple.

Madeline is stunned as the teddy Bears are taking its effect on her as she has no idea that it is laced with potions.. "Mandy, what key is Jennifer talking about"? Madeline asks Mandy as she is getting sleepy for some reason.

Jennifier frowns as she sense the magical in those teddy bears as she get them away from Madeline. "Madeline, I will explain everything later. Right now you need to stay awake and get away from those bears". Jennifer said to Madeline as she went towards her to get the bears away from her.

Mandy frown as Jennifier has caught on with things. she grab some of the teddy bears from her bear and throw them at her. as it hit Jennifier. Jennifier fell to the floor as she is put to sleep. Madeline is stunned by this as she could not react at all as the teddy Bears is put in her arms putting her to sleep as well.

"It is lights out for the both of you". Mandy said to them as she smirks as she grabs a magical negating charm and placed it over Madeline's amulet. Plus the bunk that Madeline is in drops her into a transporter box as the girl gets instantly restrained in. Plus the lights are shut off as the bounty knights comes in the room as female camp staff reveals to be Ms. Brooks comes in.

Mandy look at them as she greet them. "The red headed princess is ready for transport to the cave. Plus Jennifer is knocked out cold". Mandy said to Ms. Brooks as she tells them about it.

Ms. Brook nod as she look at Mandy as Jennifier is still out cold. "Well done Mandy, things can finally proceed". Ms. Brooks said to Mandy as she see that the bounty knights grabs the transport box as they left the tent with the light off. Mandy nods as they leave the tent as they Madeline with them.

About 30 minutes later, Amber went to cheek on Jennifier and discovered Jennifier out cold. "Jennifer", Amber said to Jennifer as she tries to wake her up. She frowns as she does not see Mandy or Madeline in the tent either. She could not find the female camp staff or Maple and Marty to help in the situation. She knows that the male camp staff is on the boy's side of the camp. She is getting frantic about things as she does not know what else to do since Sofia and everyone else is asleep. "What can I do"? Amber asks herself as she feels a bit alone right now. However, she has no idea that a ghostly spirit has appeared to her.

"Young royal princess of the Ever Realm", the ghostly spirit said to Amber as he has white as snow hair and is wearing a strange head elder outfit. He has stubbly wings on his back like they were removed from him in a very painful manner.

Amber is stunned by the ghostly presence as she is very confused and getting scared of it. "What do you want Vindure Creature? Please don't take me to that cave to be turned into stone". Amber said to the mystical creature as she is scared.

The ghostly spirit of the mystical beings look at Amber as he frown as that story has been misconstrued and incorrect for a very long time. "Young princess, I am not here to harm you. Those stories that those two fairies and other humans has told you about me is very inaccurate. The great hero of the Ever Realm and Mystic Isles would say that is defamation and slander to discredit and vilify me even after the fact that I have passed on in this world and never step foot in the Ever Realm when the events that took place on Mount Avery in ancient times". The ghostly spirit said to Amber as he reveals that he is not here to hurt her.

Amber is stunned as she is very confused about things. "Wait a minute, if you are not here to harm me, then who are you and what are you exactly"? Amber asks the ghostly spirit as she has no idea that things are starting to make sense.

The ghostly spirit of the mystical beings look at Amber as he will explain everything. "I was once the head elder of a group of mystical beings called Windwalker in the Mystic Isles. My name is Vindure". The ghostly spirit named Vindure said to Amber as he reveals who he is.

Amber is stunned as she learns that there is no surch thing called the Vindure Creature but an actual being named Vindure. "So you don't take kids who disobey theirs parents to turn them into stone". Amber asks the spirit as she is wondering what that story is about.

The ghostly spirit of the mystical beings look at Amber as he shake his head no to her. "No, that is mere fictional story telling with true locations to scare people away from that cave across the lake. My spirit has seen innocent people being harmed in that very place including one that I have met once before". The ghost of Vindure said to Amber as he reveals that he has seen innocent people being harmed there before.

Amber is stunned and a bit confused about things as she is wondering who he meant. "Who are you talking about"? Amber asks the ghostly spirit of Vindure as she is curious about things.

"Your Mother and now your sister", The spirit of Vindure said to Amber as he vanishes away like he was trying to give her a message, but it gets cut off abruptly. Amber is stunned as she is learns that Madeline is in great danger.

Meanwhile in the Caver, Madeline is coming around as she find herself trapped as she spots Mandy along with Ms. Brooks. Maple and Marty. "What's the meaning of this"? Madeline asks them as she is heavily restrained as she can't move at all except for her head and neck.

Mandy smirks as she look at Madeline as things are going smoothly. "Oh, good, you are awake from you long nap". Mandy said to Madeline as she reveals that the girl was asleep.

Madeline frown as Mandy is here as she think back to the last thing she remembered being back in the tent and Jennifier came in to confront Mandy. "Mandy, why are you involved in this? Plus did you harm Jennifer"? Madeline asks Mandy as she is wondering about it.

Mandy look at Madeline as she roll her eyes as the younger girl mention Jennifier. "Jennifer was getting to close to figure out my plans were for you and had to make sure she was out of the way. Plus, I just to tell you how sorry I am, and I had Ms. Brook bake you cookies wanted some". Mandy said to Madeline as she explains about it.

Madeline look at Mandy as she notices the red in the cooks. she think back to when Jennifier was in her body as she tried to get thought Ms. Cordelia. "If you were sorry, then you would have baked the cookies yourself and given to me yourself. Not only that, Ms. Brooks doesn't like me well enough to make something especially if it has something red in it", Madeline said to them as she remembers the chat she had with Lorenzo about not giving into what she wants.

Mandy look at Madeline as she gasped like being shocked that an adult dose not like her. "I am sure that is a misunderstanding Madeline. Plus, it is a yummy sweet treat". Mandy said to Madeline as she is going to pull an act with her.

Madeline look at the cookies as she think back to when she had the strange cookies that put her to sleep at her grandparents house. not only that she think back to when Dottie prevented a batch of cookies were kept from getting to her class. she remembers the picture of the cookies look like in the school letter to the parents. "Besides, those cookies look very familiar to the cookies that you tried to get to my class on the last day of school wasn't it. Plus, you just want me to have them just to have me restrained again for who knows what you will do to me. Not only that, the last time I had cookies that someone who my mom does not trust, it had a bad potion laced into it". Madeline said to Ms. Brooks as she is getting the feeling that something is not right here. Plus, she has a gut feeling that if she accepts them and has them, she will probably be restrained again and does whatever it is that they are planning on doing to her

Mandy look at madeline as she is stunned by this as she give her a look. "Now, now Madeline, I am sure that these cookies do not have any bad potions or do anything like that. Please have one", Mandy said to Madeline as she wants her to have one.

Madeline look at Mandy as she has her gut instinct about the cookies. "No". Madeline said to Mandy as she said the word no. Madeline is surprised by how saying no made a boundary and choice on things just like how Lorenzo said it would.

Mandy is stunned by this as she is getting mad. "What do you mean no"? Mandy asks Madeline as she is wondering how she could say that.

Madeline look at Mandy as she give her a look about things. "You heard me Mandy. I said no. I do love sweets, but I do not want any right now". Madeline said to them as she does not want any.

Mandy frown as she glares at Madeline as she hates that the girl said no to her. just then a female bounty knight arrives at the cave. "Mistress Brooks, there is a problem". The female bounty knight said to them as there is a problem.

Ms. Brook frowns as she look at the female bounty knight. "What kind of problem"? Ms. Brooks asks the female bounty knight as she does not know that things have happened.

The female bounty knight look at them as there is a huge problems. "The teddy bears that were in the tent that belonged to Mandy are now in the hands of Dr. Strand at the hospital. The investigators know that there were boys that turned into teddy bears with magic and laced with magic spells and potion". The female bounty knight said to them as the camp leaders and Mandy are in the cave learning about it.

Madeline is stunned as she learns that the teddy bears are really boys that got turned into teddy bears. "Mandy, what did you do those boys anyways"? Madeline asks Mandy as she has no idea that the girl is more sinister than she realized.

Mandy look at Madeline as she give her a look as it is time to reveal it. "It is simple Madeline. I turn boys that turn me down into teddy bears. That way, they have no choice but to be around me". Mandy said to Madeline as she reveals about it.

Ms. Brook frown as she learns that there was a snag into things "Mandy, I am teleporting you to the hospital and blend in with the other children and get those bears back". Ms. Brooks said to Mandy as she turns to Madeline as things needs to progress. "As for you, the process will now begin just like your mother got it many years ago". Ms. Brooks said to Madeline as the process needs to get started.

Madeline is stunned as she know that she is still restrained as she see some sort of stranger item that is in the wings. Mandy give a look to Madeline as she is not going to be here to see things.

"You will change your mind about the cookies. Plus when you think about it, you will not have to share it with your siblings. See you later", Mandy said to Madeline as she went over to Ms. Brooks.

Madeline frown as she think of something that Jennifier did in a quickly manner. plus she know that Jennifier will notice detail on a person. she spirts on Mandy when she was not looking as it landed on her head. plus it went unction by the adults in the room as Ms Brooks teleported Mandy away. Ms. Brooks went up to Madeline as they need to proceed.

"You little brat, you have no idea how much I despise you. In fact, I despise you does extend to your mother and towards a particular Garcia Roberts family member". Ms. Brooks said to Madeline as she reveals about it.

Madeline is stunned as she is very confused about it. "My mom and a certain Garcia Roberts family member, what are you talking about"? Madeline asks Ms. Brooks as she is wondering about it.

Ms. Brook nod as she look at Madeline. "That's right, it is not Lorenzo and Jennifer but towards a completely different person. I lost my father because of your mother". Ms. Brooks said to Madeline as she reveals that she lost her dad because of Miranda.

Madeline look at Ms Brook as she is stunned by the revelation about her mom. "What did my mom did to your dad? I am sure it is a misunderstanding and talks it over with some cookies now right". Madeline said to Ms. Brooks as she thinks that they can talk things over with the cookies.

Ms. Brook frown as she deeply glares at Madeline. she grabs the cookies from the girls feet. "YOU ARE TOO LATE FOR THAT YOU LITTLE BRAT". Ms. Brooks said to Madeline as she is going to force things on her. Madeline is stunned as she is starting to realize that Ms. Brooks is in control of things.
