Viola and the two princes stared at Mordecai in disbelief. They came out of their hiding place and walked up to the giant block of ice in which the creature was encased.
"Woah!!!" exclaimed Matthew with his mouth wide open.
"That was....EPIC! " Henry yelled, completely excited and impressed. "How did you do that? I mean you turned a terrifying creature into a frozen popsicle of some sort."
"Well, that is THE most unappetising popsicle I've ever seen in my life " Matthew said.
"I'll tell you later." Mordecai replied Henry.
While the two princes were busy pestering Mordecai, Viola moved to stand right beside him and stare intensely at his hair. " What's with the crazy hair?" she asked Mordecai.
"I shoot ice out of a freaking gun, turned an undead creature into an ice sculpture and all you noticed was my hair??"
"Sure, I mean what's so strange about having a gun that shoots ice?"
"Um, hello everything! He must be a wizard of some sort." Matthew added.
"Whatever, what kind of creature was that anyway?"
"I'll tell you when we're in the cellar " Mordecai promised.
Viola finally opened the wooden door using her key and they all walked into the living room. "You know, I could've sworn this door wasn't locked. I wonder who locked it and why the creature was after them."
At the centre of the living room, Viola got on her knees and pulled back the rug to reveal a secret hatch hidden underneath it. The hatch led underground and into the cellar.
After climbing down the ladder that leads into the cellar, they discovered they weren't the only people hiding there. They met Nigel a baker, Archie a knight and Cecelia a pickpocket who were all taking refuge in the cellar.
"Viola, thank God that you're okay!" Nigel said rushing over to her side and giving her a bone crushing hug.
"Nigel.....can't breathe. " Viola said trying to push him away.
"Oh! sorry my bad." he said stepping back a little. He looked behind her and saw three men standing there.
"Where's Vivian? "
