Sleeping Beauty

Five

 Sophia walked over to her vanity while Ymir put the tiara on her head. "There now you look like a real princess." Ymir stated. Sophia looked at her reflection, put her head down and started crying. "Let's leave her alone right now." Sasha said. 

Ymir and Sasha left but Krista stayed for a while. "Soph, I know you're mad, but please try to understand. We kept this from you for a reason. You may hate me, but just know, you will always be my little princess." And with that Krista left to join her fairy friends. Sophia wasn't mad at anyone but herself. 

'Why couldn't I see it. Little princess, my last name. How could I have been so blind,' she thought.

She didn't notice the fire in her fire place went out and she didn't notice the piercing blue eyes looking straight at her. Annie turned into a bright green orb, which got Sophia's attention. The green orb lit up the whole room. 

Sophia looked at it and she heard it speak, "Follow me," it said. So she followed it. When Krista was talking to Ymir, she realized it was too quiet. She opened Sophia's door to find her following a green orb. Krista's eyes widened and she went after Sophia. Ymir and Sasha came in and saw what was happening and chased after Sophia and Krista.

"This way," the orb told Sophia. It was like she was in some sort of trance.

When Sophia got to the top of the tower she saw a spinning wheel with a sharp spindle. She made her way towards it. 

"Sophia Don't touch it" She heard Krista shout. The green orb went over to the doorway and closed the door so Krista, Sasha, and Ymir couldn't get through. 

Sophia heard Krista's shout, but she couldn't pull her finger away from the spindle. "Touch the spindle dear," The orb said. No matter how hard Sophia tried to take her hand away from the spindle she couldn't. She had pricked her finger on the spindle. 

She felt her eyes start to close. "What's happening" she asked herself. The last thing she saw was the orb turning into Annie, and the last thing she heard was Annie's evil laugh. Then she faded into darkness.

After Sophia had fallen asleep, Krista, Sasha, and Ymir were finally able to break through. That's when they saw Annie hovering over Sophia's sleeping form. 

"Here's your little princess. Have fun trying to find her true love." And she disappeared again. "Sophia!" Krista yelled. She ran over to her and held her. 

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth," Krista said tears now in her eyes. Krista gave Sophia to Ymir to hold as they brought her back to her bed. Krista had no more tears. 

She was angry. Angry at herself for not being able to remove the curse, angry for not being able to protect her, but she was mostly angry at Annie, whom she considered to be a friend once. She was the one who put her in this situation. 

"Let's put the kingdom to sleep like we planned,then we find the boy who Sophia fell in love with." Krista said with anger in her voice. 

"And how exactly are we supposed to find this boy?" Ymir asked. 

"Sophia said he was going over to the cottage later on tonight. That's where we can find him." Sasha exclaims. So the three fairies went their separate ways to put the kingdom to sleep, until the princess awoke. "All done" "Good now let's head over to the cottage.

At the Cottage

Eren had just gotten to the cottage. "Man, this place was hard to find" He told Jean. 

He went up to the cottage's door and knocked. When he knocked the door opened slightly. He was a little freaked out, but he still went in. "Hello? Is anyone in here?" He looked around but saw the place was abandoned. Then he saw a note.

Anyone who finds this cottage can take it. It was a good little home for us to watch over Princess Sophia. We have returned her back to the royal family so that's why this cottage is empty. Please have a wonderful time living in the cottage.

"Princess. The girl I met was my fiance!?" 

"Yes she is" Eren turned around to come face to face with Annie. "You! You're the one who cursed the princess" 

"Yes, yes I am and you my dear prince, has fallen in love with her. It's too bad you weren't there to see the curse happen" 

"What have you done to her" 

"Oh just lead her to her doom. She pricked her finger and is now in a deep sleep. And you are coming with me so she never wakes up." 

Her two henchmen Reiner and Bertholdt came out of the shadows and started tying up Eren. Annie looked at Eren one last time before she said, "Take him away." 

So Reiner and Bertholdt took Eren back into the forest. Annie following them. They were almost through the forest when they heard an angry voice. 

"STOP RIGHT THERE ANNIE!!" "Oh look what the cat dragged in." Reiner said. 

"Let him go you prick" Ymir said. "Fine. I'll let him go." She signals her henchman to let Eren go. 

"See you at the castle for the final battle fairies." And she disappeared. "Prince Eren do you love her" 

"Love who?" Eren asked confused. "The girl you met in the forest today. Do you love her!?"
