~Winter's POV
"I know we've been friends for a while but you have to trust me on this. You have to let me meet Alexander. Come on. What's the worst that can happen?" I protested as we walked through the forest.
"The worst thing that can happen is the prince forcing you to stay here and never return to the land above." The Keeper said worryingly. I just playfully rolled my eyes at him.
"Duh! I'm gorgeous. But come on, remember Jencintjuble Day?" I asked the Keeper. He shuddered at the thought. "Exactly." I added.
"A lick of the spoon isn't worth the pitiful risk of a baboon." Foxy said.
"Yay! You've decided to join us." I said, looking at the fox and smiling, not knowing he was with us before.
"Only to see that you don't jump off a cliff before the next Jencintjuble Day as the birds fly away." Foxy said.
"Oh Foxy," I sighed, "I'm not." I giggled as I said that. We walked through the forest for minutes and suddenly I stopped.
"What is it Winter?" Keeper asked me, looking a bit concerned.
"I figured everything out. Queen Euphoria was ruling Admireland but the Shadow Queen took the Azoth, didn't she?" I looked up at the Time Keeper with a serious face. "That's one of the reasons why you don't want me going over there. You think that stupid rock is going to hurt me!It's just a glowing, lumpy rock that just happens to be really powerful and in the wrong hands right now." I added, looking, and feeling, a little betrayed.
"Yes. But... We couldn't risk your disappearance. Admireland needs you." The Keeper said.
"Oh my my, yes Winter." The Black Fox added.
"I see. You truly don't believe in me, even after Jencintjuble Day. Well, I'll prove to you that this girl can pack a hard punch." I said as I ran off.
"Winter, wait!" Foxy and Keeper said in unison. I didn't look back. I just ran, slight tears running down my face.
A few hours later, I came upon a light part of the forest. I felt lost and couldn't find my way to the Shadow castle.
"Are you lost child?" A voice said above. In a tree was a teen girl wearing a mini skirt and a crop top. She had cat ears and a tail. She teleported in front of me and turned into a purple and pink cat.
"Who are you?" I asked, stepping back a little.
"I'm the Atrocity Cat. But who, are you?" She asked looking around me.
"I'm Winter. Um, I'm a little lost. So... Can you show me the way to the Shadow Castle please?" I asked the cat as she turned back into a teen girl.
"But being lost causes panic, and panic causes chaos. And that is what this kitty is all about. I mean, what's an adventure without mischief and chaos?" The cat said as she teleported onto a tree branch.
"Please." I begged.
"Fine, if you tell me a joke." Kitty said.
"When life gives you lemons, freeze them and throw them as hard as you can at the people that make your life difficult." I said as I glared at her.
"Wait a minute... WINTER MORGAN?! I mean, little Winter Morgan has come back to Admireland. * mischievously giggles* " She said as she smirked.
"Yes Kitty. Now please show me the way to the castle."
"Sure Winter." Kitty replied.
~Prince Alexander's POV
What am I missing I thought to myself. My mother was sitting next to me.
"Your Highness, Winter Morgan has returned to Admireland." A guard said as he bowed to us.
"WINTER?!" My mother screamed. "We were... Acquaintances, that was until she betrayed me for my sister."
"Who is this Winter?" I asked, confused. My mother just left in a hurry. This sounds like a girl... A cute girl indeed. *smirks*
~Winter's POV
I walked with Kitty through the forest towards the Shadow castle.
"So, you don't remember me Win?" Kitty asked me.
"A little, I mean it's been nearly 8 years but I still remember the mischievous feline who lost the Azoth." I said, glaring at her.
"Oh, that little thing." She replied, licking her paws.
"That 'little thing' is the life force of Admireland. In the wrong hands it could create CHAOS!" I lightly yelled at her in annoyance. "Sure I know many ways to destroy someone in case of trouble and sure I have saved this world before but I can't keep cleaning up this world's mistakes. I'll always be here but this world has to learn, especially you Kitty." I told her, looking concerned.
"Oh come on, are you still mad about the last incident on Jencintjuble Day?" Kitty said as she looked at me. I stopped walking and grabbed her by the wrist.
"Kitty! You stalked that poor, little mouse as if you were going to eat it!" I yelled at her.
"Stalking is a harsh word. I prefer to call it 'intense understanding of an individual'." She protested. I just rolled my eyes at that girl.
"I still remember my first day here in Admireland. It was exactly on Jencintjuble Day. Queen Euphoria was happy then. Now she is at her castle, watching Admireland lose its admiration." I said sadly.
"The Keeper is not with you?" Kitty asked me.
"No. I have ran away to prove to him and Foxy that I can handle Prince Alexander." I said.
~Prince Alexander's POV
"GUARDS!" I yelled. Suddenly 10 guards ran up to me.
"Yes Your Highness." One of them answered.
"Find this Winter girl and bring her to me at once!" I ordered them.
"Yes Your Highness." They answered in unison as they ran off in search of Winter. I wanted to meet her and keep her here in Admireland forever.
~Queen Euphoria's POV
"Your Highness, your sister knows of Winter's return and so does her son. They have sent guards out in search of her." My maid informed me.
"Find Winter before them and bring her to safety here." I told her.
"As you wish Your Highness." She responded, leaving the room in a hurry. I was so worried about what my sister could do to Winter with the Azoth. But I was also worried about what Winter might do to my sister. Winter can be really violent sometimes. I was mostly worried about what might happen when Winter and Alexander meet. To be honest, I'm shipping Winter with Alexander. They are more similar then they might think.
