Flames Pond and the Princess: The Return of Fuzzy Guy

A Lullaby For a Princess

Lucy's POV

And you'll be back home safely...

My mind seemed to wrap itself around these words. Now Flames's voice was stuck in my head like glue. And his voice kept repeating these words over and over again.

I missed my mother awfully...

But there was nothing I could do. Even if I tried, I'd probably get captured or worse.

Trying to hold back the tears, I drifted off to sleep.
********************************
Later, I had another dream.
It was a flashback to when I was just a little girl.

Here's how it went:
A fireplace roared inside a cozy, little room while the rain made a pitter-patter sound on the glass windows.

A little girl (Me) was playing with a small wooden horse on the carpet.

'My' mother was seated in a rocking chair while humming a sweet, soft tune doing some crochet work.

There was a clap of thunder making 'me' scream.

"Ahh!" 'I' shouted in fright as 'I' dived under the covers.

'My' mother giggled a bit and removed the covers off of 'me'.

"My dear brave Lucia, I'm here... I will always be right here..." she said.

'I' smiled brightly as 'my' mother put her crochet work down. Then 'I' sat on 'my' mother's lap and hugged her tightly.

Then she began to sing a sweet, lullaby.

Sara's POV
I was tired and so hungry.
Fuzzy hasn't fed me anything for a while now and I could barely walk or stand.

Suddenly I heard the door open. But it wasn't my cell door. It was the door leading to the dungeon.

I glance up to see a man standing there. It must be one of Fuzzy's henchmen.

"Food for the prisoners!" he barked.

I rolled my eyes. "Same meal? Ha! I'd rather die of starvation than eat the same meal over and over again!"

"If you want to live, I suggest you eat what has been given to you or you won't get anything from now on! Do you understand?"

I sighed and took the small portion of food. Between chews, I wanted to scream. To shout and announce how much of an idiot this person was!

But I bit my tongue from saying it.

"Now that our boss is in charge of this kingdom now," the henchman said. "You and your people will be under his command now!"

I glared. "You don't know who you're messing with! I am the Queen!"

"That may be so." he sneered. "But in the condition that you are in, you don't look like much of a Queen anymore."

I was taken aback by these words. But I said nothing.

Instead I simply kept a icy glare upon him.

I just hope Lucia is OK...
