Kingdom of Darkness

The Prisoner

Me and Charlie were riding our Griffins back to the village with Tarte our sister/prisoner. I could tell Charlie was looking at me, I rolled my eyes as I thought about his idiotic face.

When we got near the village some of the people pointed at us and started yelling, then I saw my dad run out of the tent, his eyes red and puffy from crying.

I assume he saw us flying out and sent another scout after us and found the first scouts dead. Me and Charlie landed and he came running over to us yelling. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, YOU COULD HAVE DIED!" He stopped short, after seeing the elf on my back. "What?-" I smiled and went into a nearby tent to tie her up before she woke.

An hour later we had explained everything to our father, and he was freaking out. "What the hell Charlie!? You let your little sister go and get captured by elves?" He scream at Charlie.

He lowered his head, I had had enough, "dad! I dragged him with me! He was trying to protect me!" My dad just shook his head and walked over to the council tent.

I stalked off to our house, it was a small cabin, with three rooms. As soon as I reached the front door, Esther came running out and tackled me. "Aaa, got you Anna!"

She cried in delight. "Not now Esther, I have stuff to do." I said sternly as the little seven year old sat on me. "Awe okay..." She said slowly, then got up and ran to her room.

I sat in my room thinking, if I came up with a plan to attack the palace, then we might have a chance of defeating the elves if we have the castles defenses.

I schemed for about 5 hours, finally I had a solid plan, now I just needed the council to listen. Which would be hard considering they were already mad at me for getting captured.

I ran down the stairs of our cabin, and ran to the council meeting, I burst through the door and saw all 13 of the council members turn there heads to stare at me. My father looked furious, "Anna-!" My father started, "John, let her explain." My step-mother said, I nodded politely in the direction of her.

"I know how we can take the castle."
