Chapter Two -- Day 2

Garner and I both turn towards the voice before sharing a glance.

"Who the hell are you?" Garner's the first of us to speak.

The voice steps out of the shadows to reveal a young-looking man.

"I'm Samuel, head of the royal guard. Who are you?" his eyes narrowed in on the two of us while his arm moved towards the sword hilt sitting on his hip.

I swallowed hard. I had to say something before Garner said something that would land us in the dungeon (Assuming they had a dungeon here.)

"We're from another world." I say, speaking up. "I don't even know how we got here." I bit down on my lip.

To my surprise, Samuel's features froze on his face.

"You mean you're both from another world?" he asked, his voice got really low.

I nodded my head. "Yes... I'm Rose and this is Garner." I loop my arm around Garner's.

Garner cleared his throat a little bit. "Yes, nice to meet you, er... Samuel."

Samuel laughed a little bit. "I can't believe it, the nutcase was actually right." He ran a hand through his hair and took a couple of steps back.

"I suppose I should take you to the King then."

I frowned. "Don't you mean Queen?"

Samuel shook his head. "No. The Queen has been missing for months now. Her brother is in charge."

I frowned and looked at Garner for a second.

Garner wasn't looking at me; instead he was looking at Samuel.

"Take us to him, then." Garner said.

Samuel nodded and started to walk towards us. "Follow me then." He stopped by the door, waiting for us to follow.

I looked at Garner's face one last time before following Samuel.

"What are we doing?" I whisper to him as soon as Samuel's back is turned.

Garner shrugged his shoulders. "Isn't it obvious, we're going to meet the King." He smiled.

I bit down on my bottom lip again. Something kept twisting around in my stomach. Something wasn't right, but I didn't know what it was.

Obviously Garner wasn't going to be of any help. I had to figure it out on my own. That was the only option.

"Lady Rose, Master Garner, I introduce you to King Castor."

Samuel stops at a door and nods to both of us before opening it.

"Who's there?" a voice comes from the inside before the door is fully swung open.

I catch a glimpse of an icy human like statue, except the head isn't frozen solid.

I look over at Garner, waiting for him to laugh or make some snarky comment about it.

"King Castor, we've found the savior."

The King's face lights up. "You're not serious? Show them to me."

Samuel quickly waves us into the room.

Garner and I stand awkwardly side by side.

King Castor's eyes land on Garner. "You must be him then, the savior."

Garner smiled widely. "Yes sir, I am." He nods his head.

The King smiles widely. "Samuel, go and find my niece. She needs to know right away that everything will be okay."
