i totally said that i was going to post more tomorrow like, a week ago, and then i didn't! sorry about that! so i need to figure out where i left off in my story and put the rest of it on here! ok, brb!
ok, i'm back. i'm going to post another section of my story now. here it is:
Matthew and Elizabeth both whirled around. There was a girl that looked about their age standing behind them.
"Uh, we’re new here. We cannot seem to find anything." Elizabeth said.
"I can take you to the physician. Are you sick?" the girl asked.
"I just have a gash in my leg. I am fine, but I just want to rest. We need to get to the dungeon because that’s where my friend’s new post is. He is going to be a guard there," Elizabeth knew she was lying, but what else could she do?
The girl smiled, "Okay, I can take you there. I know where everything is in this castle. By the way, my name is Erin."
Matthew put his hand out, "It is nice to meet you. I am Matthew, and my friend is Elizabeth."
Erin led them down many corridors before they finally reached the dungeon.
"I am going to go back now, I do not really like going in there. It was nice meeting you! I am sure I will see you again," Erin smiled.
Elizabeth smiled back, "Thank you very much for helping us!" she really liked Erin. She seemed very nice. Elizabeth truly did hope that they saw each other again.
She and Matthew walked into the dungeon. The lighting was very dim. Surprisingly there weren’t any guards there! Matthew and Elizabeth started looking for Jacob. They looked through all of the cells, but they didn’t find him.
"Oh great. Now we are going to have to look somewhere else!" Matthew shook his head.
Elizabeth looked around, "Wait! Do you see that door over there? The tiny one? What is that?"
Matthew went over and looked in the door. It was so small that he had to get down on his knees.
"Elizabeth! Come here! I found him!" Matthew exclaimed.
Elizabeth limped over and got down on the floor. She peered in the door and saw her brother curled up in the corner of a tiny cell.
"Jacob! It is me, Elizabeth!" she yelled.
He looked up and saw his sister. He slowly moved to the door.
"Elizabeth! What are you doing here? And Matthew?"
Elizabeth smiled, "We are trying to get you out of here. Are you okay?"
Jacob tried to get out of the cell and winced, "I am not too great, but I will live. They knew I had It."
Matthew frowned, "They knew you had what?"
"The Crown," Jacob whispered.
Matthew and Elizabeth both gasped.
"You had the Crown? Why didn’t you tell me?" Elizabeth asked.
"I am your best friend, Jacob! You did not tell me either!" said Matthew.
The Crown was an object of incomprehensible power. Whoever wore it could easily rule the entire world. The Crown could be used for incredible good, or for incredible evil. It just depended on the person that wore it.
"I’m sorry. I couldn’t tell anyone about it. The only person that knew I had it was Father. He gave it to me when I was thirteen for safekeeping. Father knew people would expect him to have it, so he decided I should carry it. I never wore it though. I was just supposed to keep it safe. I have no idea how the Ymbrai King knew that I carried it." Jacob sighed.
"We can talk more of this later, we need to get you home," said Elizabeth.
Jacob crawled out of the cell. "We cannot just go home. We have to get the Crown back."
Elizabeth hugged him, "Jacob, you have to go home!" She looked at Matthew, "Can you take him home? I will attempt to get the Crown."
Matthew looked at Elizabeth, "Do you honestly think I am going to leave you here by yourself? Or that Jacob would let me leave you here by yourself? If we take Jacob home, you are coming with us."
Jacob coughed, "I am still here you know. And I do have an opinion."
Elizabeth laughed, "Sorry Jacob. So what is your opinion?"
"I am well enough to help you get the Crown back. It is my responsibility anyway." Jacob declared.
Elizabeth and Matthew looked at each other. Then Matthew said, "I suppose you are right. But we must see if you are even able to stand."
Matthew stood up and helped Jacob to his feet. Now that Jacob was in the light, Matthew and Elizabeth could see that his face was swollen and bruised.
Elizabeth gasped, "Oh Jacob, you look awful!"
"Thanks a lot!" laughed Jacob. "Now that you know I can stand can we go find the Crown?"
so....erin spent the whole weekend with us. it was awesome! she went home last night. oh yeah, the reason she stayed with us that long was b/c her parents were in pennsylvania helping her grandmother move down here. but anyway, yeah, it was awesome!
oh yeah, i never did get a pic of my car...the one that i made for the film festival....i'll have to do that. i still haven't thrown it away. ok, friday night at the film festival was soooooo much fun! it was like, waaaaaaaay more fun than last year! we watched 'price caspian'. i've seen that like, five times. but i sure learned alot i didn't know about it b/c erin and i sat with matt and john. it was soooo much fun! matt talked through the whole thing and that's how i learned so much about the movie. the only bad thing was that erin told matt to be quiet at the kissing scene at the end, and he was like 'oh, of course i'll be quiet at that part'. and then when that part came around, he started shouting at caspian and susan and telling them not to do it! erin and i were so mad at him! everyone cheered when they kissed though. oh yeah, and john hadn't seen the movie b4, so he was also mad at matt since he prob heard only half of the movie due to matt's chattering. but it made it much more fun for me and erin since we've both seen it so many times. oh, and the whole time erin and matt and i were trying to decide if caspian or peter is cuter. erin thinks peter is cuter, i think caspian is cuter, and, ok, i'll explain this first. erin asked matt's opinion and so he actually decided to answer (which i was very surprised at) and after MUCH consideration he said "let's face it, they're both cute, but caspian's cuter."! erin and i just cracked up! so after that, john asked me and erin if peter or matt was cuter and erin said peter, then john asked if he or matt was cuter. and erin and i both said matt. then erin decided to ask them if she or i was cuter. john said erin, and matt said me. as you can probably tell, we had quite an interesting time. i mean, this was what we talked about practically the whole time! except when matt was commenting on the battle scenes which were apparently 'beast'. and like, every time one of the narnians killed a telmarine (i have no idea if i spelled it correctly or not) matt laughed his creepy, evil laugh, and john cackled. it was pretty scary. but we had an awesome time anyway! lol
the cars that some ppl made were sooooo cool! i'm not gonna try to describe them though b/c i wouldn't do a very good job. but there was a noah's ark, a HUGE hummer that ppl could stand up in (it had speaker and provided the music for us), and laura and kat made a piano, and bri and miranda made a 'go green' car that was green and had different sections of the car representing different things to recycle like 'paper', 'plastic', etc. it was awesome! i think i might actually have liked theirs the best now that i think about it. oh, idk why i voted for the hummer! man! kat and laura's was adorable too! it really looked like a piano! it was sooooo cute! mine was a suitcase if i didn't already say that. i can't remember if i did or not. anyway, it wouldn't have looked anything like one if mamaw hadn't allowed me to tear her suitcase up and use pieces of it! i should NOT have used the swivel wheels though b/c then i couldn't manuver it properly! i was quite perturbed (ok, sorry, i know that didn't sound anything like my usual choice of vocabulary, but i'm in one of those 'fantasy story writing' moods. so i really should be working on my story...but first i have to practice piano. ok, i'd better go.
ipml!
