"Maddie, you are back" said Annie as she smiled and she turned to look at Maddie.
"Mhmm, I am back" said Maddie.
"What were you two talking about that made you so happy? I could hear your laughs on my way over here?" asked Maddie as she eyed Ollie suspiciously, honestly, she was sure that he was a bad influence on Annie.
"Ahh well nothing much" said Ollie.
"We were just talking about you" said Ollie as he smiled.
"What about me?" asked Maddie as she eyed Ollie with anger.
"Annie, what did you tell this blondie about me?" asked Maddie as she turned to look at Annie and Annie laughed sheepishly, she was scolding Ollie internally, why did he have to say that they were talking about her?? Annie was sure that Maddie would not be pleased if she knew that Annie may or may not have told her entire life story to Ollie the guy she hated with passion for some odd reason.
"Hey, you blondie, what did you make Annie tell you, what did she say about me?" asked Maddie as she stopped looking at Annie because she knew that she was innocent, while she also knew that this boy named Ollie was very dubious and cunning.
"Only good things Maddie, I assure you" said Ollie as he smiled.
"That I know, because Annie only says good things about people, of course only except for Azazel" said Maddie.
"What I mean is in what way did you interpret what she told you?" asked Maddie as she did not trust Ollie one bit.
"I interpreted them in a good way Maddie, trust me" said Ollie as he smiled, now that he knew more about Maddie, she scared him less, yes he said less because he was still totally scared of her.
"You better have blondie, because I might not be able to do anything to your pretty face, but I am sure that you have scissors in that bag of yours, and all your blondie locks would all be gone" said Maddie as she smiled and she winked at him, and Ollie shivered, she was crazy, totally crazy.
"Maddie!" called Annie as she could not believe that Maddie was threatening Ollie right now, he was so scared that he subconsciously touched his hair.
"Yes Annie?" asked Maddie as she smiled and she turned to look at Annie with a bright smile as Annie just shook her head, there was nothing that she could do with Maddie.
"Anyway, where are Curtis and Matt?" asked Annie as Ollie took a few steps away from Maddie, she was crazy, she substantiated that fact every single day that he spend more and more time with her, he got more and more scared of her.
"Ahh well, they are with Ivor" said Maddie.
"They are discussing something, Ivor asked a question, but I didn't stick around to know what it was about" said Maddie.
"I see" said Annie.
"Yes, anyway, where is Alina?" asked Maddie as she finally noticed why everywhere was so quiet, it was because there was no Alina, because that girl talked way too much for Maddie's liking.
"Well she went to go get started on dinner" said Annie as she smiled.
"I, now I see what happened, she went to get started on dinner, and then she left you both here, and then you started talking about me" said Maddie.
"Well I don't blame you, I am a very awesome person to talk about" said Maddie with a smile as Ollie felt like rolling his eyes at her.
"Oh give me a break" said Ollie under his breath as he scoffed.
"What was that blondie?" asked Maddie as she looked a Ollie and she smiled at him.
"Ahh, nothing, nothing, did I say something?" asked Ollie as he smiled.
"Yes, you did say something blondie, if you want to say something, then say it to my face" said Maddie as she smiled.
"You know, for a Prince, you really are a wimp" said Maddie as she smiled and Ollie felt offended, she was insulting him right now, could she be any more meaner than she already was, he did not know why he even bothered, Maddie was the most difficult person he had the unfortunate pleasure of ever meeting in his entire life, and that was saying something considering that he was a prince and he had been to many, many boring meetings.
Ollie just did not say anything, he would not give her the sweet satisfaction of knowing that he was offended by her, no he would not, just like Curtis said, he would not let her actions get to him.
"Okay, that's enough Maddie" said Annie as she sighed, she wondered just when Maddie would stop being mean to Ollie, it was really getting out off hand.
"Okay alright, I am done anyway" said Maddie as she smiled.
"Wait, since we are staying for dinner, I doubt that we would be able to go anywhere else tonight" said Ollie as he realized that they were not going to be leaving today.
"You know, that is true, maybe that's what Curtis and Ivor are talking about" said Maddie.
"But anyway, what's that?" asked Maddie as she pointed to the tree sap.
"Tree sap" replied Annie and Ollie at the same time as they looked at each other and then they laughed.
"Wow okay… remind me never to let you both stay alone for a long time" said Maddie as she did not like what she was seeing at all.
"Oh Maddie, you have to be joking" said Annie as she laughed and Maddie just shook her head.
…
"Dinner is served" said Alina as she smiled and she walked into the dining room, that had never been used until now, well because they never had any reason to use it when it was only her and her master, but now they had guests, so it was nice.
"I made some pasta and a sauce" said Alina as she smiled and she placed everybody's plate in front of them, starting with her master, and then Curtis, Ollie, Annie, Maddie, Matt and then she placed her own plate on where spot on the dining table.
"Dig in everyone" said Alina as she smiled and they all looked at Ivor as Ivor just nodded his head and gave the go ahead that they could eat and they thanked Ivor.
"Oh Master, I made your sauce without any peppers, since your stomach can't handle it" said Alina as Ollie could not help but laugh as Ivor shook his head, his little disciple was just too much, they were not alone like usual, they were with strangers, so there should have been a difference in the way she spoke to him, but Alina did not seem to think like that at all.
"*Ahem*" said Ivor as he cleared his throat.
"Thank you for your announcement Alina" said Ivor in sarcasm.
"You are welcome Master" said Alina as she smiled and she ate her food as Ivor just sighed, he wondered how she would have been able to survive without him, she was just too much sometimes.
Silence reigned between them for a while as everyone faced their food, Alina did not like the silence at all, it was killing, so she decided that she was going to start up a conversation.
"Master, do you know that Ollie Is a prince?" asked Alina as she smiled and she looked at Ollie.
"He is?" asked Ivor as he sounded a little bit surprised as he looked at Ollie.
"Yes, he is right Ollie?" asked Alina as she smiled and she looked at Ollie.
"Yes, that is true" said Ollie as he smiled.
"Hmm, well It is a pleasure to meet you my Prince" said Ivor as he smiled.
"No need for that, just call me Ollie" said Ollie as he smiled and Ivor smiled.
"Sorry to say, but you look too young to be a Prince" said Ivor.
"I mean you are the son of King Alvin are you not?" asked Ivor out of curiosity.
"Ahh well no, my Grandfather is King Alvin, his son Albert ascended the throne, and he is my Father" said Ollie as he explained.
"Ahh, I see" said Ivor as he nodded his head, no mountain dweller knew what was going on in the realm, but before Ivor became a mountain dweller, it was King Alvin that was ruler of the witch realm.
"Yes" said Ollie as he smiled.
"So do you have any siblings?" asked Ivor.
"No, I am the only child of my parents" said Ollie as he smiled.
"Forgive me if I seem to ask questions that are not of my concern, but doesn't that make you the heir to the throne?" asked Ivor as he wanted to clarify something.
"No need to ask for forgiveness" said Ollie as he smiled, he was used to being asked so many questions.
"I am the heir to the throne" said Ollie as he smiled.
"I see" said Ivor as he seemed to join two and two together, so maybe the King and Queen of the Witch Realm sent their only son over here to check how things were faring on the mountain, that could be a possibility, after all, he still did not know what Ollie was here for.
"Yes" said Ollie as he smiled.
