Evie sighed as she walked down the halls and looked out the windows, she was bored, and tired, and worried, just so many things that were happening in preparation for her coronation, she was so scared and tired to say the least.
"Evie, aren't you supposed to go to your etiquette class?" asked Kaylee as she walked down the hall.
"Oh Kay, Kay, Grandfather allowed me to skip it today" said Evie as she looked at Kaylee.
"Okay, what's wrong? You don't look happy" said Kaylee in worry.
"That's because I'm not, everything is too much, and mom isn't making it easy" said Evie as Kaylee shot her a warning look.
"Okay fine, that's partly my fault" said Evie.
"You know that mom is only being strict with you, because you snuck out and skipped classes, not once, not twice, but multiple times" said Kaylee.
"Yeah, yeah I know, don't remind me, can you blame me though? Those classes are so boring" said Evie.
"Well Ellie, Cellie and I have to attend them as well, and it's not that bad" said Kaylee.
"That's easy for you to say, but for me it's not, I have so much to learn, and so little time" said Evie.
"And whose fault is that Evie?" asked Kaylee.
"Oh please Kay Kay, don't blame me, I want you to be on my side, and try to understand me" said Evie as she groaned.
"You know I always do Evie, but not right now, you were so excited to be Crown Princess, and now, it feels like you are being chained, and Grandfather is very excited about this, and I don't want him to be disappointed" said Kaylee.
"I don't want to disappoint him as well, but I can't help but feel overwhelmed, and to top it all off, I am worried about Matt, we haven't seen him, or heard from him in so long" said Evie.
"I worry about him as well, and Annie, and Maddie and even Curtis, but you can't use that as an excuse for not owning up to your responsibilities" said Kaylee.
"You know that mom only wants you to be responsible for your own actions" said Kaylee.
"And of course, that's why she's always so hard on me and lenient on you and the others" said Evie.
"Don't say that Evie, you know that mom loves you the same way she loves us all" said Kaylee.
"Don't think like that Evie, please don't, it's making me sad that you are sad" said Kaylee as Evie laughed.
"I'm not sad Kaylee, not at all, where are the twins?" asked Evie as she smiled.
"Oh they went to the stables, uncle Jake is teaching them how to ride horses, I was about to go over there, do you want to come along?" asked Kaylee as she smiled.
"I would love to but no, I was actually going to get a book from the library" said Evie as she smiled.
"Okay, oh and before I forget, Grandma says that she needs to get your measurements again, she wants the dress to be very accurate" said Kaylee as she smiled.
"Alright, I will go to her" said Evie as she smiled.
"See you later" said Kaylee as she smiled and Evie smiled as Kaylee walked away.
Evie sighed as she continued on her way and she opened the door to the library as she got the book that she wanted from the shelf and she looked out the window when she saw a carriage approaching the Castle and she gasped as she hoped that it was what she thought that it was.
…
"Wow, we are in the vampire realm, that was rather fast" said Ollie as he looked out the window.
"I've never been to the Vampire Realm before" said Ollie as he smiled and he kept on looking out the window.
"Well it's very lovely here, I am sure that you will like it" said Matt as he smiled.
"Oh I know that I will, and I finally get to meet your siblings" said Ollie as he smiled and Maddie just scoffed internally as she looked at Curtis who had his eyes closed.
"Don't tell me that he's sleeping" said Maddie as her voice popped into Annie's head, she missed being able to do this, she had been forced to directly talk to Ollie for a long time now, and no longer would she have to suffer with that.
"No he's not, I think he's either resting or thinking" replied Annie.
"Oh whatever then" said Maddie.
"I can't wait to see Evie, it's been so long" said Maddie as she smiled.
"Me too" said Annie as she smiled.
"You are liking this too much aren't you?" asked Annie as she laughed.
"Can you blame me? I haven't used magic in such a long time" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Which reminds me, I look horrible" said Maddie as she waved her hand and all the dirt on her face and clothes were cleaned off and she did the same for Annie.
"You are welcome" said Maddie with a smile.
"Thank you Maddie" said Annie as she smiled and the carriage came to a stop.
"Oh finally" said Maddie out loud as she smiled and Curtis opened his eyes as the carriage door opened.
"I am out of here" said Maddie as she rushed out of the carriage.
"Oh sweet ground, sweet, low ground, I missed you" said Maddie as the sun felt so warm down here, and not scorching like on Caligo.
"Finally, good riddance Caligo" said Maddie.
"Maddie, I think that you are overreacting a bit" said Ollie as he laughed.
"No one asked you blondie, leave me alone" said Maddie as Ollie just shook his head.
"Maddie, be nice, it's his first time in the vampire realm" said Matt as he laughed.
"Oh wait, it is?? Oh my, welcome, welcome, come let me hold your hand and show you everywhere, come and let me show you a world of bliss and wonder" said Maddie in a fake happy high pitched voice as Ollie just looked at her in a mix of disbelief and just amazements.
"Maddie" called Annie as she could not believe that Maddie could be so mean to him, while all Matt did was laugh.
"Don't laugh Matt, it's not funny" said Annie.
"Oh it is funny Annie" said Matt as Annie could not help but laugh as well.
"It is kind of funny" said Annie as she laughed.
"Well Madam, I would love for you to be my tour guide" said Ollie as he finally replied.
"Oh in your dreams, never ever" said Maddie as Ollie just laughed and he shook his head, by now, he knew how Maddie was by now, and it did not bother him at all.
"Matt!!" called Evie in surprise as she could not believe her eyes and she rushed out of the Castle as Matt and everyone else turned to look in her direction.
"Hi Evie" said Matt as he smiled.
"Oh my goodness it really is you" said Evie as she rushed down the steps and she crashed into Matt as she hugged him and he smiled.
"Oh Matt, I missed you so much, we all missed you so much" said Evie as she hugged him tightly.
"I missed you too Evie" said Matt as he smiled and he hugged her.
"Annie, oh I missed you so much" said Evie as she hugged Annie and Annie smiled at her.
"Hi Evie, I missed you too" said Annie as she smiled.
"Oh Maddie" said Evie as she looked at Maddie.
"Hello Evie, yes, I know, you missed me so much, I mean who doesn't miss me, I am an essential commodity" said Maddie as she smiled and Matt and Ollie scoffed as Annie shook her head.
"Oh course you are, and I did miss you" said Evie as she hugged Maddie and Maddie smiled as she hugged her.
"Curtis, hi, can I hug you?" asked Evie as she smiled and she looked at Curtis.
"Do I have a choice?" asked Curtis as he sighed, he already knew the answer.
"No" replied Evie, Annie and Maddie at the same time as they all laughed and Evie hugged Curtis.
"Who the heck are you?" asked Evie as she saw Ollie, she did not remember seeing him before.
"Oh thank you Evie, thank you, finally, someone who gets me" said Maddie as Evie looked at her.
"I am Prince Oliver Vinewreath, nice to meet you Evie" said Ollie as he introduced himself and he smiled.
"Prince of where?" asked Evie in confusion.
"Prince of the Witch Realm" said Ollie
"The witch realm has a prince?" asked Evie in confusion.
"Beats me, I had the same question, but apparently they do" said Maddie as Evie looked at her.
"Weird… I haven't heard of this before" said Evie.
"Aren't you going to be Queen, I am sure that Grandfather would have made you read about all the royal families of the realms" said Matt as Evie smiled at him sheepishly.
"Let's just say that I skipped the chapter, I thought that there weren't anymore" said Evie as Matt shook his head at her.
"Anyway, hello Prince Oliver, nice to meet you" said Evie as she smiled at Ollie.
"You can just call me Ollie, everyone does" said Ollie as he smiled.
"Okay" said Evie as she smiled.
"Matt come on, Mom is going to be so happy to see you, and you too Annie, come on, let's go" said Evie as she pulled Matt's arm and he followed after her as all of them did the same.
