Hi everyone!
Sorry this is coming so late! It took me forever to draw the picture for this part! Bleah!
They rode off on
candy cane horses, towards the mysterious food people that her father
was taking them to. They flew into the gloomy forest surrounding the
fjord and wove through the dark trees. They slowed the candy horses
at a stone circle and slid off of their horses. The family approached
the stone circle, not noticing a curious small boy following them
with his baby reindeer.
“Please, help!”
The king shouted yet the stone circle seemed to be completely empty.
Then the earth began to shake and they huddled close together. Round
spots in the dirt began to rise slowly from the earth until the thin
round spots were towering above the royal family. The tall tube-like
people formed faces at the top of the tubes and arms and legs soon
followed. Jaclynn gasped at the spindly figures and realized what
this food was. These peculiar people were of the souffle kingdom!
The souffles
whispered in shock and confusion.
The tallest souffle
lumbered towards the family and called out, “Your Majesty,” he
lowered himself in an awkward bow and his brown beady eyes gazed at
Emma to Jaclynn, “born with the powers or cursed?”
“Born, and
they're getting stronger,” he informed. The souffle held out his
arms and the queen handed Emma to him.
“You should be
very glad that the blast hit her head, not her heart. The heart
is...Never mind. The head can be persuaded, luckily,” the souffle
said as he touched his hand to her head.
“Do what you have
to,” the king replied. The souffle nodded and brought his hand away
from Emma's head. Sprinkles of magic drifted out of her head and
hovered in front of the family.
“I recommend we
remove all magic. Even memories of magic, just to be safe. But don't
worry. I'll leave the fun, nothing will change besides that.” The
magic in the air played memories of the two friends, slightly
distorted so that Emma and Jaclynn had no donut magic fun. The
souffle lowered the memories back to Emma's head and smiled, “she
will be okay.” The pink streak in her hair faded back to blonde.
Jaclynn's eyes
widened and she touched the souffle's arm.
“She won't
remember I have donut powers?” Jaclynn asked.
“Listen to me,
young donut,” The souffle waved his hand in the air and a scene
played in the sky of a girl with donut powers, “Your powers will
only grow. There is beauty in it,” the souffle paused and the scene
shifted and became violent, “But also great danger. Fear will be
your enemy,” the scene exploded and Jaclynn backed away to her
family.
“We'll protect
her!” The queen said.
“She can learn to
control it, I'm positive,” the king added, “Until then, we'll
lock the gates, we'll reduce the staff. We will limit her contact
with people. Including Emma,” he continued, looking down at the two
friends. They departed from the souffles hurriedly and rushed the two
girls back to their castle. Fear grew rapidly in Jaclynn's heart as
she glanced at Emma's still form. Once they returned to the castle,
the sleepover was forgotten and the two girls were separated to their
rooms. Jaclynn didn't sleep that night. Her powers had almost killed
her best friend. She knew that her parents' plan was for the best,
but she was still scared. Everything would change, unlike what the
souffle had said. Worry planted itself into her mind and she couldn't
go to bed. The night stretched on forever until the sun crawled from
behind the far away mountains and shone on the rainbow floor. Jaclynn
sprung out of bed and ran out to the hallway, desperate to see how
her 'Cookie' was doing. Her parents were obviously as worried about
Emma as she was and were already in her room asking her questions.
“I'm fine,”
Emma said to her parents, who were hovering around her like bees,
“the sleepover was fun, nothing happened.”
“Cookie!”
Jaclynn shouted and Emma's eyes lit up as she jumped off of her bed.
The queen was surprisingly fast and blocked the friends out of each
others view.
“Just a second,
Emma, we need to talk to Jaclynn for a second,” the queen said and
scooted Jaclynn out of the room.
“You finish
packing,” the king instructed and Emma nodded hesitantly.
The king and queen
shut the door and looked at Jaclynn.
“We can't let
your relationship go as it was. I'm sorry. It's for Emma's safety,
you want to protect her don't you? If what happened last night
happened again and she wasn't alright, then our kingdoms could go to
war, the Cookies and the Donuts, they could,” The king said and
touched Jaclynn's shoulder.
“Now we have some
new rules to establish with you later, once Emma is gone home,” the
queen added as she steered her away from Emma's door.
“Everything will
be fine. We're hoping Emma won't even come back,” the king said and
with that, pushed Jaclynn into her room and shut the door.
