Sofia the First: Father

Chapter 10: On the Run

Everyone execpt Cedric gasped in horror, "Rollie!" shrieked Miranda, "Daddy!" shreiked Amber. "Dad!" shreiked Sofia. "You monster!" shouted James and he charged towards Ethan and began flailing his arms at him. Ethan caught both his arms and looked him in the eyes. "Save your anger... for those who deserve it" He Said in a soft tone, "Why did you do it?" James Asked with tears in his eyes, "I just... want this... whole nightmare to end" Ethan Said slowly, deep down he disliked King Roland greatly, but at the same time did not want to bring harm to him as he had children of his own. "I'm sick and tired of this... whole cycle of anger and hatred!" He Growled under his breath "I just want it to stop!". "But untill then" He spoke up "It is best that i lie low for a while, untill things calm down" Amber, Sofia and their mother then walked over and kneeled down to join them "I think that's for the best" Miranda Said with tears in her eyes "And thank you for not harming him", "Why would i?" Ethan Asked "Of course i don't want him dead, i just wanted to stop him from imprisoning me again", "What do we do?" Sofia tearfuly Asked "The moment dad unfreezes, he'll banish you for sure!", "That's why i must go into hiding" Ethan Replied "I HAVE to find a way to put an end to all these... anger problems and... vengeful needs", "Why... do you hate dad?" James tearfuly Asked, "I don't" Ethan softly Replied "I just... dislike it when he interferes with my own personal buisness", James suddenly began sobbing harder and hugged Ethan tightly. Ethan immidietely responded by wrapping his arms around the young Prince and rubbing his back slowly, Amber then came rushing over to join then all the while crying her eyes out "Guys? I think i have an idea" Sofia Said drying her tears "Cedric, can you unfreeze dad after we leave?", "Very well Princess" Cedric Replied "Now you better get a move on, i can hear footsteps aplenty!". After Ethan got up, Sofia took his arm and dragged him all the way to her room "You can hide in here for a while untill things calm down" Sofia decleared "Sister..." Ethan Groaned letting out a big sigh "I don't exactly see how THIS ROOM is going to keep me undetected from a pathetic, ruthless, know-it-all retard", "I mean throught here" Sofia Replied and she pointed down at a small hole beside her bed. "That?" Ethan Asked all confused "What could possibly be through there!? let alone FIT through there!", "Trust me" Sofia Said in a serious tone, Ethan gave off a long, loud sigh "Alright" Ethan Said "Lead the way then", "Remeber when i told you about my Amulets magical abilities?" Sofia Asked, "Yes?" Ethan Replied, "Well one of my best and most useful abilities is to be able to shrink down to the size of a wee sprite" Sofia Explained, "Well then what are we waiting for?" Ethan Replied "Let's shake a leg!", "I think your chain can do the same as my amulet" Said Sofia "Just follow my lead" She held her amulet and said in a crystal clear voice "I wish to be small" and just like that, she shrunk down to the size of a mouse "My god..." Ethan Gasped, "Now you try" Said Sofia, "Very well..." Ethan Sighed. He held onto the Ruby Chain and said as clearly as he could "I wish to be small" and just like that, the same thing happend to him. "Damn it!" He Snarled "Still to big..." it was true, since he was a little less than twice the hieght of Sofia, he was still too tall to fit through the hole "Don't worry" Sofia Replied "Just bend down and crawl through", her big brother got down onto his knees and crawled through the hole to his surprize "Thank god for that" He Sighed "Now let's get a move on". The pair made their way down a long stairwell and made it to what seemed to be an underground river.

"What. on. earth!?" Ethan Exclaimed under his breath "I know" Replied Sofia "This shocked me when i first saw this as well... even Amber", "So what now?" Ethan Asked, but just then his Chain glowed blue "What. the. hell!" He Exclaimed for the second time "It's called the RUBY Chain for a reason!", "That's strange..." Replied a surprized Sofia, but then she realized something "What, my Amulet glows blue when the secret library summons me here... mabye the same thing is happening to you". "You think?" Ethan Asked curiously. But just then a strange boat appeared from around the corner, it was white and covered in many purple and pink jewels "Sofia, what is that?" Ethan Asked, Sofia Gasped "Your Chain!" She Smiled "It summoned the boat!", "That boat?" Ethan Asked awkwardly, "Yep, that one" Sofia Smiled back "Hop on". But just then she noticed something and stopped herself and Ethan from boarding "Wait!" She Frowned "I don't think it's big enough for us both to fit in at once", "Actually" Ethan Replied "By the looks of it we can, you just need to sit on my knee for the ride", "Oh, okay" Sofia Smiled. Her big brother carefully boarded, then she followed. She sat down on Ethan's knee and the boat began moving on it's own "Hold on, who's driving this thing?" Ethan immidietely Asked, "Itself" Sofia Replied, "Obviously" Ethan Sighed but then he began laughing at himself which made his little sister laugh as well. After a while they passed by what seemed to be memories of the Fairytale Princesses "Wait..." Ethan Said "Those are Cinderella's glass slippers! what are they doing here?", "They're just illusions" Sofia Smiled "There're all flashbacks from all of the greatest fairytales ever told". "Incredible" Ethan gasped. At last, they reached the end and disembarked.
