Austin's P.O.V

It's been about three maybe four days since Alan and I have been speaking and i can't distinguish up from down or left from right. Alan has been the only thing I've been thinking about or care about. It's amazing how he took an interest into me even though he's never seen me and I'm locked in a tower in my castle.

Pascal has been a great addition to my life too. Though he brings me Alans letter, we've bonded more and more every day. He's that friend I've always needed to keep me going, along with Alan. Apparently, Pascal is Alans personal pet from when he was a child. It's like me Alan, and Pascal have formed a family bond. Alan and I, the parents, and pascal, our child. I mentioned this to Alan and he thought it was the cutest/most adorable thing ever.

So with that, I was just waiting for Alan to send him back. I stopped doing my usual morning routine due to it getting boring and dreadful. So i just lay here petty much all day. There are times where i hate it because i tend to think. And that, well it leads me to curling into a ball crying my eyes out believing every word my father has ever told me. An unforgivable sin I am, were what he said?

"Damn it!" A voice yell-whispered behind my door. "it's locked." I recognized the voice. But i was frozen to even talk. My body still and the person behind tried opening the door again jiggling it quietly.

"Why can't I be free?" She fell to her knees and cried quietly. It broke me to hear her cry and with out knowing, my body moved off my bed and toward the door kneeling.

"Jen?" I asked in desperation. "Jenna is that you?"

I heard a gasp from her, "Austin?"

"Yas Jenna. It's me!" I said with a smile. Four years it's been since I've talked to her. My own sister. I've missed her so much I felt like crying.

"Austin! I can't believe it's you!" She said in a low yell-whisper. "Aust, I thought you were dead!"

"No Jen. I've been here since that day. Here, locked away."

She continued to cry, "Do you know how much this changes things? Aust! You're our last hope."

"What do you mean Jenna?" I asked in confusion. "What does this change?

"Father! He's gone mad. He's put all theses rules and regulations on the kingdom. It's a totalitarian leadership. He's killed so many people! He's everywhere now."

"What? How! I see our cousin in the court yard having fun most of the time i look outside. The kingdom looks the same. The people do thier usual routines. How did it change?"

"It's all an act Aust. If they show a sign of rebellion they get vaporized. He's just gone up the wall since you left. Oh Universe, I can't believe you aren't dead."

"What do you mean? Who is he killing?! What do you mean by vaporized?"

"He says humans are as fragile as a flower, Still a little sapling, just a sprout. He says he stays the ruler to keep humanity safe and sound. Bunch of Bull I think. But I guess I always knew this day was coming. Knew that soon he'd want to kill anything against the church. Soon, but not yet. He says to 'trust him my pets. The King knows best.'  One way or another. Something will go wrong, I swear. Father only protects those who follow him. The Kingdom's people are committing suicide. They're terrified of him Austin."

"My dear." I thought. This was all to crazy. How did this happen in just 4 years. How long has my kingdom been suffering? "Jenna, how is he killing people? What do they have to do for it to be considered rebellion?"

"I don't know how they're killing them. They just vanish. One day you see them then the next there's no documents, records or physical body left to say they ever existed. And it's anything that one does that isn't what the Kingdoms church believes. But it's not the same beliefs as before, there's no God. God is Father. Homosexuality is forbidden, freedom is forbidden, individuality is forbidden, change is forbidden. A lady must marry at 18 but I must marry in two years at 14.  Rape is allowed only if father approves of it.  People aren't allowed to question his actions. He's even taken out the democracy. He put these screens that he can watch everyone from. people have tried to get rid of him but they just end up dead. Austin. You're our last resort. To restore humanity."

Me? What could i do? I'm a pathetic weakling that's as tall as a tree locked in a tower. "But how Jen? Im stuck in here and i don't think I'm strong enough to fight him. My bones are sticks since I've been in here and compared to father I'm dust."

"But you're smart Austin. I'll get you out and you can restore our kingdom and take it from our corrupt father. Pleas Austin? For us."

Well i couldn't say no, "I'll try my best. I'll get help from the Kindom of Cat tails to help us over throw father. I'll send word to everyone that I'll give life meaning again to my people."

"Thank you Austin." I heard her lay her head against the door. "I give you all my faith." She sniffed a bit as i heard her get up. "Well i must go. Father must be wondering where I am. I'll be back and when I do I'll get you out." she then descended down the stairs.

I didn't move from where I was. I was still in shock. Here i was thinking. My kingdom was going great but In truth, it was crumbling to pieces. I must tell Alan. My love. He must help me.

Hey, hey, hey. What did you guys think? I know i said romance but really, there wasn't any in this chapter. Also i wanted to know if there's anything you guys want to see in this story. Less drama, more, romance, disaster, happy, sad, more Jenna, stuff like that.

I have a plot but y'alls are my readers and I'd love feed back to make this story better. :)

Thanks! - Katrina

Oh also, there was a Disney part in this too :D
