Chapter 2- The King

"Nothing" I said
"Are you sure because I don't trust you. You can't trust anyone these days what with trespassers and spies." The man said with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.
"Well the Queen wants information. I have to take you to the King anyway, it's the rules." He replied and helped me down.

The sun was shining brightly and I could see more clearly through the forest. Big tents were being put up and I could see a lot of horses being put in a nearby stable. It all seemed happy and jolly so I wondered if they knew about what would happen.

"Here we are then, young lad. Hop inside and the King all come soon." The man said and left the tent.
I looked around and saw various objects. However one object caught my eye. It was a crystal polished until you could see your reflection in it, but that's not what I saw. Instead there were swirling colours and a castle in the middle. I gulped, something seemed wrong.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and heard a strong voice coming from behind me
"I see you've taken an interest in my jewellery."
I turned round and saw a bearded man wearing a crown and holding a cane.
"Sorry sir. I didn't mean to do any..." I stammered, this must be the king
"Don't worry about it, I hear you're a spy" he chuckled
"No I am not. I came here through a tornado and I don't know where I am" I replied.

Laughing, he pushed me through the hallway and into a majestic room with a cozy armchair and a desk scattered with paper.
"My good friend tells me you want to know about the Queen." I nodded "I could tell you but I can't trust you. My instinct tells me you know a bit more than you say" he said

A gulped again and said tears coming into my eyes.
"I overheard a conversation. One that I no one was meant to hear. The Queen, she is coming!!"

Yay another chapter done. I'm going to do more in the holidays so maybe 3 or 4 updates a week. Follow snowflake163 who is Sofie if you didn't know.
