we both needed someone to take care of us and because I like animals. That’s the story of my life.”

Princess, Lassy, Raphael, Samwell, and Leon sat around a fire, taking turns telling scary stories. Leon felt lonely because Samwell was with Princess and Raphael had Lassy but he didn’t say anything.

“There were three kids,” Princess began. “Their names were Timmathy, John, and Tani…”

“Oh… I know what you’re doing… You’re making fun of the bad guys and bad girl… aren’t you?” Raphael asked.

“That’s my girl,” Samwell replied.

“Well,” Princess continued, laughing, “anyways, they seen a little cottage. It was said to be haunted but they didn’t believe that the cottage was haunted so they went in anyways… take it from there, Lassy.”

“Okay, I will. As soon as they walked in,” Lassy added, “they heard someone say, ‘Get out or you will pay the price.’ They looked to see who it was but no one else was in the cottage. They began looking for the person to see if it was a joke….”

“But,” Princess jumped in, “they didn’t find anyone. Then these two hands came out from nowhere and grabbed Timmathy. Tani and John thought he was playing a game on them so they didn’t bother looking for him. The same two hands grabbed…”

“John,” Lassy continued. “Tani was all alone. She saw a dark figure in the shadows. The dark figure spoke in the same creepy voice they had heard earlier, ‘Get out or you will pay the price just like your friends….”

“So she ran out of the cottage, screaming. Then she seen Timmathy with a rope tied around his neck and a tree branch. His body just hung there lifeless. Not long later she spotted John with a knife in the middle of his back. He was also dead. That’s the end,” Princess concluded.

“That was good, Princess and Lassy,” Raphael and Samwell agreed.

“Thank you,” Princess replied.

“You’re welcome, Princess,” Samwell replied.

Leon laughed. “You two did great. I thought it was funny how you used Tani, Timmathy, and John’s names to be the characters in the story.”

Princess laughed. “Where’s Flame and Joseph at?”

“They’re on that hill over there, talking, but I don’t think that we should mess with them.” Leon curled up next to a long and fell asleep.

Princess went to get Flame and Joseph while Lassy put out the fire with a bucket they found and filled with water. Then everyone went to sleep.

No Place Like Home

The next day the group arrived to the village. Flame went to let her grandmother know that they were safe and Leon followed. When they got to her grandmother, they realized that she wasn’t breathing. Flame tried to wake her up but she knew it was pointless. Her grandmother had passed away from old age.

Flame and Leon hurried to the palace and told everyone what had happened. Elizabeth cried with Flame and the baby cried but only because they were crying. James and Leon didn’t cry but they were hurt by what had taken place.

Kate and Peter, the butler, had walked over to Flame and Elizabeth. “Peter and I are really sorry about your grandmother,” Kate told the princess with tears in her eyes.

“Very sorry,” Peter agreed. “Flame, this isn’t a good time but a Joseph Calvin Lodge….”

“Let him come in,” Flame interrupted.

“Okay.” Peter left the room.

“Um… Flame, who’s Joseph?” Elizabeth asked.

Joseph had walked into the room and Flame ran over to him. She hugged him for a moment then turned toward her parents. “Mom… Dad… this is Joseph.  Joseph, meet my parents.”

Joseph bowed. “I’m glad to meet you, King James, and Queen Elizabeth.”

Elizabeth smiled. “Oh… So, you’re the one who saved Flame?” she asked, placing everything together in her mind. I just want to say thank you, young man, for saving her.”

James took one look at Joseph and didn’t like what he saw. “I won’t say anything that has the words thank you,” he replied, rudely, “but I will say that you better stay away from my daughter.”

“Dad,” Flame said.

“James,” Elizabeth spoke right after Flame.

“But he’s a villager, Elizabeth,” James answered.

“Yes but he saved our daughter. You should be thankful, James. I am sorry, Joseph. Flame, show Joseph the guest room, he could stay there.”

“Yes, Mom… come on, Joseph.” Flame motioned for him to follow her.

“So I guess… I’m staying… here for a while… huh?” Joseph asked, worried.

“I guess you are,” Flame agreed. “I’m sorry about my dad.”

“That’s okay. I understand he hates me.”

“He don’t hate you; it’s just that he… don’t know if he should trust you or not.”

“Oh… that’s really helping.”

Flame smiled. “Well, I trust you.”

“I know.”

 

Staying in the Palace

Flame and Joseph went to kiss when Peter and Leon walked into the room. “Flame… what are you doing in the guest room?” Peter asked.

“I’m… ah… showing, Joseph, his room for a while,” Flame answered.

“Okay… come on, Leon, we better leave these two alone.”

“Okay, Peter,” Leon agreed.

“Well, this is going to be your room,” Flame told Joseph. “My room’s down the hall so if you need me. Oh yeah. You can get Kona and she can stay here too. I’ll go with you so that way my dad won’t think you’re up to anything. Okay?”

“Okay,” Joseph answered.

 

 

Flame told Kate where she and Joseph were going so she could tell the king and queen. James had Peter follow them.

Once they arrived back to the palace, Kona was with them. She looked forward to seeing Leon again. Joseph and Kona lived with them. Of course, James hated Joseph, even though Joseph tried everything to get the king to like him. No, Flame and Joseph aren’t married yet. Princess, Lassy, Raphael, and Samwell go and visit Flame and everyone all of the time. Flame knew that her grandmother was with her grandfather and that they were watching over them. Well, that is the end of Flame’s story… for now.
