Happily Ever After

Chapter Five-The Elements

Cindney's eyes widened, her hazel eyes growing big in shock.

The head master furrowed his eyebrows, still smiling. "Oh, right! You don't remember who you really are! Oh my dears, don't I have a lot to explain!" He said, laughing his high pitch laugh. Honetly, how creepy could this guy get?

He gestured with his hands to us and said, "Well, once upon a time there were three oracles. Two of the oracles were brothers and one day while they were out in the woods, the portal took them to Earth. Surprising them both, they landed in the world you all know as England. They lived a normal lives there but they soon found themselves still seeing visions of the future in Askaria. They wrote all of these visions down in books as they know that such precious visions must be written down. You know these men as the Grimm Brothers."

He walked over to us, right up to me. "The third oracle got taken to Earth a couple years later. His name was Walter Disney. He also got visions and, well, he was a very creative man in saving them wasn't he?" He said, right in my face. Ugh, his breath stack of vanilla and rotten flowers.

Riel creased her forehead in thought. It seems she was the only one who saw this as interesting since Cindney and I were still a little creeped out from this guy and Bella looked like a scared kitten.

"So your saying that all the stories and fairy tales we grew up with are actually real?" Riel concluded.

The Head Master smiled and walked over to her. "Yes, my dear Ariel, you are right."

Riel eyes widened. Riel was Ariel? What?!?!

Ignoring Riel's face, the Head Master continued, "Before Walter left, he and the fairies created four jewels. These jewels were connected to Askaria as they held the elements of our world. He knew that with these jewels we could defeat the Queen who plans on destroying and ruling Askaria. But it turned out the Elements would only let certain people use it's power."

He walked over to Bella then. "And so we let the Elements choose who it wishes and they led us to you four. Wendelyn, Cinderella, Ariel, and Elsa."

Phew, at least my name hasn't changed. Which meant that Bella was Elsa.... that's mind-blowing...

"You were all little children when your parents gave you to the Elements and the Elements, then, gave themselves to you. Now, our elements are a lot different from Earth's. Instead of fire, wind, water, and earth we have water, nature, magic, and ice. Anyway, the fairy queen feared the Queen would find out we had a weapon to kill her, so we sent you girls away to Earth. We erased your memories so you could live normal lives on Earth until the day the portal decided you come back."

Cindney crossed her arms. "Are you really expecting us to believe such bull?"

The Head Master looked over at her and smiled. "Why, yes, I do. After all, you don't have much else to believe do you?"

She bit her lip, uncertained. I got to admit, this was a lot to take in. I actually agree with Cindney. This is just way way way too unbelievable.

"Now as you see, the jewels are missing." He said and gestured to the empty pedestals behind him. "And the portal brought you back. So I assume your mission is to find your jewel and defeat the Queen before her plans gets any worse."

"How do you suggest we do that?" I turn to see Bella actually speak up. "How are we suppose to find one jewel per each of us in this huge land?"

"Why, my dear Elsa, you simply go where the portal takes you and go through your fairy tale." The Head Master said, smiling like this was a perfectly okay situation.

Well, isn't this just great? I'm stuck in fairy-tale land and I have to find a jewel and defeat this so called "Queen". And what fairy tale character am I anyway?!

The Head Master's face, then, turned perplexed. "Oh, I forgot to ask. Do any of you wish for some tea?"

A tea tray came floating in through the doors with a porcelain teapot and teacups. The Head Master took a cup and poured himself a nice little cup of tea. He added some sugar and then took a sip.

"Mmm.." He said.

Cindney, then, ran up to him and pushed the floating tea tray away. She was red and about to blow, I could tell.

"Are you fucking kidding me? We are in this fairy tale land and are being told to go out there and find jewels so we can defeat a Queen?! Do you know how stupid it all sounds? I don't have any idea of what's been going on and I don't believe I'm Cinderella but I'm going back. Back to Earth, my real home!" She snarled.

The Head Master just looked amused, still sipping his tea. "Oh, Cinderella, your not going back. Your stuck here until you fulfill the foretold prophesy. Even if that means you stay here until you die."

His laughter was the only thing that broke our silence.
