SPNPG SOT: Princess Kenny's Revenge

Chapter 11

The next morning....

You are woken.

"New Kid....sorry, it's early. But we're going to the woods, Kyle's going to get the full story from the trees," Stacy explains, "we think there's something else. This thing with....with Kylie....it doesn't make sense."

You would rather stay in bed.

But.....

You want answers too.

She waits outside as you dress, and the two of you go down to join the others.

In the group there's you, Kyle, Stan, Stacy, Erica, Kendra and Kenny.

You don't question it, the princess must be here for a reason.

Not like you can question anything, anyway.

Your group goes deep in the woods, the same walk you had to take with Henrietta, Crystal and Twyla that awful day.

You know everyone's tense: Stacy and Erica stay close, their hands intertwined.

You can see Stan and Kyle do the same.

Prince Kendra asks you, non verbally, if it's okay for him to do the same with you.

You let him.

You need it too.

There's no body at the bottom of the tree this time, which is both worrying and relieving at the same time.

If anyone else wants to say something about it, they don't.

Kyle steps forward, he lets go of Stan as he goes towards the tree.

It's hard, you can see it plain and simple.

He speaks quietly, "Did Kylie do it to herself?"

Silence.

But then you can hear it, faint and carried on the breeze: 'no'.

".....was she killed?"

'Yes'.

Stacy's holding back tears, they all are.

"W.....who killed her?"

It's an unbearable silence.

'The princess'.

As soon as those words register in the prince's mind, he retaliates.

Princess Kenny is on the ground in a split second, she is pinned by the prince who punches her in the face.

"Kendra!" Stacy exclaims.

"She killed your best friend, you know she deserves whatever she gets," the prince replies.

He turns his attention back to his captive. "Why? Why did you do it?"

She doesn't hesitate to answer. "Revenge. That stick was mine! And she helped to destroy it! It was a choice, between the two of them, the brother and sister. Ha.... I picked her."

".....kill her," Kyle says.

No one expects to hear that, especially you.

"My lord," Stan tries to say.

"She killed my sister. Kendra, do what you want, but don't leave her unharmed."

You know the prince wouldn't even dream of it.

"Stacy, give me a knife. I know you have one," he requests, "please."

She steps forward to hand it over, and immediately steps back.

"Thank you," the prince says.

He aims it right at the princess's neck.

"Any last words?"

"I'll be back," she grins.

He raises the weapon, about to strike.

When the unthinkable happens.

"WAIT!"

You freeze.

That voice.....

It can't be.

Prince Kendra drops the knife.

"K....Kylie?"

No one can quite believe it.

(Oh yeah I forgot I did this)
