Friends Unite

Chapter 11- Captured Again

Once again, Siluetta and her friends were flying across the plains of the Land of Darkness in the claws of the terrible flying monsters, heading for a castle high in the mountains. Last time this had happened it had ended up for the best, because they had befriended Daniel and Rose, who had joined them on their quest. But it was unlikely that something like this would happen again. And they had already escaped once. Could they manage to do it again? Siluetta made herself floppy in the talons of the flying monster as her heart sank to the ground.

Before she knew it, they were lighting down next to the castle. Just like last time, guards came out of the castle and surrounded them

"Trespassers!" one roared. "We must take them to the Dark King at once."

Nia rolled her eyes. "The Dark King this time? Excellent." 

A guard immediately grabbed her and clamped a hand over her mouth."Silence!" he thundered, and shoved Nia into his pocket.

 Other guards surrounded and grabbed Siluetta, Edwin, Daniel and Rose, and began to drag them towards the castle. They were lead through the large iron doors and through a door on the left to the throne room. The structure was similar to the other castle. It was a large spacious room, and at the far end of the room was a throne. But this time the throne was occupied by a large, bearded man, and next to the throne was a smaller chair in which sat a dark haired boy about Siluetta's own age, a bored expression on his face.

"Trespassers on my land!" roared the man. "You will pay!" He then bent towards the boy. "Son, you order the guards to the dungeon," he whispered loudly. "You need your practice."

"Guards, take them to the dungeon," said the boy in a bored singsong voice.

"Yes sir!" the guards saluted. "That is the Dark Prince,"a guard told the prisoners. "He will grow to be a great ruler like his father."

Then they marched out of the room and down the stairs to the dungeon, and were thrown into darkness once more.

"Here we go again," came Nia's voice as she was released and fluttered up to the ceiling.
