Darla Gets Lost in Paris

chapter 16

Soon enough, it was getting after dark and that meant it was time for bed.

"Oh, my sweet girl..." Charlotte hugged her granddaughter. "I'm so glad you're safe and sound."

"I know, Nana Lottie." Darla smiled.

"And it was nice of Non to help you girls." Charlotte smiled.

"I know, it was a big surprise for us..." Darla nodded. "I don't know what we'd do if he hadn't decided to help."

"Same here." Maisy said.

Charlotte kissed Darla's forehead and tucked her in for the night before going with Miss Clavel. Darla slept peacefully that night. It was a wonderful night for everybody and tomorrow was going to be even better. Amber smiled as she saw her best friend fast asleep which helped her sleep much better that night.

The next day was both a happy day, but a confusing day as Non was nowhere to be seen except a note from Sombra. Everyone called out for Non only to be unable to see him anywhere.

"There's a note." Cherry said before she took it and her face paled once she saw who it was from.

"If you are wondering where Non is; I sent him back into the Phantom Zone - From Sombra." The note said.

"You okay, Cherry?" Atticus asked.

Cherry gulped and showed the note. "You got a letter from your dear old Uncle Sombra."

"I bet it comes with bad news." Atticus said.

Cherry handed him the letter and held her head. "I need to lie down..."

Atticus soon read the note and where he was right as this was bad news.

"I need to lie down now..." Cherry said since she was deathly afraid of Sombra. As she lied down, a celebration was being held.

"Poor Cherry..." Atticus sighed before he covered his best friend with a blanket and gave her a pillow so she would feel comfortable and where she was indeed comfortable with both the blanket and pillow.

"You're such a good friend." Darla smiled up to her big brother.

"I know." Atticus smiled back.

Cherry shivered and whimpered about Sombra as the others went to the ceremony without her. She soon stopped shivering as her grandmother soon arrived in her dream. "Grandma..."

"Cherry, my dear, are you all right?" Mally comforted.

"King Sombra..." Cherry uttered out.

"Well, don't worry; he only appears to cause a little chaos since Earth isn't someplace he's interested in ruling." Mally said.

"But he's taken Non..." Cherry replied. "At least I'll have some rest before the next adventure... Whatever that might be."

"Non will be back, but will be acting like a villain until Atticus's son appears to save his beloved." Mally said.

"Oh, yeah... That kid... Atiko?" Cherry asked.

"Akito." Mally corrected.

"Whatever, it's a weird name..." Cherry shrugged.

"Anyway, you all will see Non again." Mally said.

Cherry sighed about that. "Yes, Grandma..."

"Anyway, the celebration is starting." Mally said.

"I know..." Cherry replied.

"Aren't you gonna go?" Mally asked.

"Why? I didn't do anything..." Cherry shrugged.
