Enchanted Feelings

Chapter II

"Belle! Belle!" Mother and Father's voices echoed throughout the castle.

I slammed my chest closed and opened the doors of my bedroom.

"Yes! I'm home!" I shouted as I started running out of my bedroom. I ran down to where I thought that their voices were coming from.

There was a look of relief on both of my parents. Almost as if they were going to cry any moment.

"What's going on?" I asked, slightly out of breath.

Mom looked at Dad before looking at me.

"Fiona was rescued," Mom said with a bright smile on her face.

I knew that there was a shocked expression on my face. I knew that Mom and Dad would be sending out their fastest messengers and telling Fiona to come back to the castle for a ball after her being rescued and possibly married.

"Wait, Fiona could possibly be coming home?" I asked, extremely hopeful to have my baby sister back.

Mom nodded her head with a bigger smile, "She should be coming home. Our fastest messengers are out, looking for wherever she may be. And then we can be a whole family again."

I smiled more, "I'd be more than happy to have a whole family again."

Mom and Dad hugged me and kissed my head.

"I'm sorry that we pulled you away from bed, darling," Dad said, "But we couldn't hold back any of the news. We had to tell you when we found out."

I paused as I looked at Mom and Dad's clothing.

"You guys went to Crone's Nest, didn't you?" I questioned.

Mom and Dad looked shocked that I asked that question.

"How do you know that we went there?" Mom asked.

I looked at Mom and sighed. "You're more rattled than you've ever been... Plus, everybody knows that Rumpelstiltskin resides in Crone's Nest," I explained.

"But how would you know what Crone's Nest is?" Dad asked.

I bit my lip and sighed. I hated to tell them that I had this, but they needed to know.

"I have a magic mirror that... when I ask it to show me a person, it shows me what is going on with the person at said time," I explained.

"Wh-What? Where did you get such a thing?" Father questioned.

"Fairy Godmother gave it to me... After you two left to take Fiona to Dragon's Keep," I explained, "And before you say anything, no, I'm not going to be giving up the mirror."

Mom looked at me, "Something tells me that you used it most of the time to see Fiona. Am I right?"

I nodded, "I just had to make sure she was okay. Even if she couldn't see me."

Mom smiled and kissed my forehead, "Let's get you to bed, darling. We'll have much excitement here within a couple of days."

"Okay, goodnight Mom and Dad," I said before kissing both of their cheeks and walked back to my room.

I smiled at the locked chest in my room, knowing that Mom and Dad were in for quite a surprise.
