Jack
Echo and I just got back to the palace, she was still in shock from killing Jasper that she said a quick goodnight and went into her room. I hated to see her like that and that she had to go through that. I just go to my room and lay in my bed, I try to go to sleep but I can't. I toss and turn just thinking about Echo, I sit up debating on seeing if she is ok when a cloud of black smoke engulfs my room. I can't see anything and worse I can't breath. I fall to the ground gasping for air when I hear a thud and footsteps. Then I look up and the cloud is disappearing as one of the figures moved his arms around forcing the smoke out the window. The other figure walked over to me and threw some powder in my face and my eyes became heavy and I drifted to blackness.
I wake up on the ground in a cell, I slowly sit up and rub my head.

"Did you have a nice nap?" A voice asked from the shadows but I knew who it belonged to.

"Hardly." I said angrily.

"What a shame, I was hoping you could help me with something." She said seductively.

"I will never help you." I shouted grabbing onto the bars of my cell.

"I'm afraid you don't have a choice." She chucked and came into the light. Endora smiled at me and with a flick of her wrist a blast of darkness came at me. I stumbled back and rubbed my eyes and see Endora standing behind the bars smiling.

"My lady what's going on?" I asked.

"A guard over heard you talking about overthrowing me, so he put you in a cell." Endora said.

"What! I would never betray you, you have my word." I pleaded.

"Well I don't know if I can trust you but there is something you can do to prove your loyalties to me." She said.

"What is it, I'll do anything!" I exclaimed.

"There is a princess coming here and there are rumours that she is the leader of a group of rebels trying to take my kingdom. When she arrives I want you to do whatever it takes to destroy her." Endora instructed.

"I will not fail you." I said bowing down.

"Wonderful. Now the girl and I will meet in the main hall, I want you to stay in the balcony and when the moment is right strike her down." Endora said opening the cell door.

"Anything for you my lady." I said rushing off to my post. I get to the balcony and get low so I can have the element of surprise. I see Endora appear in the room and just as she does the door bursted open and a girl with blonde hair walks in. She must be the leader and the one I have to destroy, I move around get keep my eye on the target.

"I was thinking you wouldn't show." Endora said.

"Well you kind of left me with no other choice." The blonde girl replied.

"What a shame, anyway let's get this over with." Endora said and she disappeared and reappeared right in front of the blonde girl and was about to grab her when the blonde girl grabbed her wrist.

"Not so fast. I want to see Jack first." She demanded. I froze for a second because she wanted to see me when I didn't know who she was.

"Alright, you want to see Jack, very well." Endora said and I knew that was my que. So I jumped from the balcony right at the blonde girl, I landed on her bringing her to the ground rolling a few times before I pinned her down.

"Jack what are you doing, don't you know who I am!?" She shouted.

"No, I'm just following orders." I said holding her down.

"Who's orders?" She asked.

"My orders." Endora said.

"Why would you ever do what Endora says?" She squirmed.
