The Hamptons- Haylems revenge

Chapter one- Haylem

That brat of Adriela’s Alexander has gotten married and l could not be any more angrier. First he dares to steal my Sarah and now he has married so that he can continue his stupid line, well, l will fix that. What if his babies weren’t really his but were a poor peasant humans baby, now l knew what l had to do, l would trick Penelope into going to the human world and make her meet a human who she would fall in love with, she couldn’t be in love with Alexander it was an arranged marriage after all.

“l hate him” l murmured to myself, now why, l hear you ask do l hate Alexander. It is more jealously than hate really. You see when l was young l couldn’t talk until l was five and my brother who was two could talk so he made Zaylem his heir instead of me which was kind of unfair, to add to the injury my brother made fun of me, how dare he. Now that you know why I’m so evil and power hungry, let’s get to my ultimate plan, revenge. I hate my brother but why aren’t you targeting him l hear you ask. Because Adriela ruined my plans, she stole the orange stone that l used to exile the three queens to the human world. That’s it. That’s why I’m targeting Alexander not Zaylem the idiot.

Penelope

Its been two days since l married Alexander, he is so handsome, like OMG he really is. He has a surprise to show me today, l wonder what it is, whatever the surprise is it must be our honeymoon location. It really must be secret. He tells me to close my eyes and when l open them l find myself in the magical world of, l don’t know but l see a unicorn feeding from the grass. It must be the world of unicorns, but what was it called.

“Like it?” asks Alexander. “It’s called Moda, my grandfather and great grandfather planned on making it together so they made it” he explains.

“Its so” l am lost for words.

“Beautiful, unique?” he questions.

“Yes, exactly those words” l smile. He takes me to the royal castle, where he told me the queen   and King unicorn lived with their son and his wife. He told me that he wanted me to meet them, so when l went to the royal castle l found three unicorns waiting for me.

“Penelope this is queen unicorn Isibella, William the king unicorn and Elard their son” he quickly explains.

“Queen Isibella, King William and prince Elard this is Penelope my wife and future queen of Heartfield” he says to them.

“Hello Queen, King and prince” l say.

“Elard will do” says the son.

“And William will do me” says the king.

“Call me Isibella” says the queen and nods. The queen l must admit is the most beautiful unicorn I’ve ever seen, no wonder why she is queen of the unicorns. Then l thought of why they left earth, l wanted to go to earth someday, l could even go now if l wanted to with my magical powers. Our honeymoon sadly ends four weeks later and l go earth.

Chapter two

Haylem-

So those newlyweds Penelope and Alexander have returned from their honeymoon, now it is time for action, today Penelope will go to earth and l will have my dream come true. My revenge will be here. I need a handsome fella for Penelope to fall in love with so that he he he, she’ll never return to Heartfield ever again. Or her child will never come to Heartfield to be crowned king or queen. So l find this handsome human boy her age, l talk to him, l say.

“Hey you” l say.

“What?” he rudely questions.

“You see this girl in the picture?” l ask.

“Yes” he says.

“She is prince Alexanders wife and l want you to seduce her, no matter how hard she resists seduce her with all your might” l smiled at him.

“I’m married” he says to that.

“But you and your wife are having problems are you not, decides your marriage is on the rocks anyway” l explain.

“Fine, you going to give me something for it?” he questions.

“Yes that is why” l say pulling out a two million dollar cheque from my pocket, “I got this for you” l say giving him the cheque.

“I’ll do it, no worries sir” he says smiling at me.

“Good” l said and vanished to Heartfield on him.

Penelope

Now l am officially a visitor to earth. l am visiting a small village today, l am looking around earth until this handsome man comes up to me and asks;

“Are you lost”

“Does it look like l am lost?” l questioned.

“Well l thought that you just needed someone to show you around our small village” he explained.

“Give me a tour” l said and smiled at him.

“Okay” the young man says. “What is a beautiful young woman like you doing here in our small village?” he asked.

“Well l wanted to come here and explore” l explained.

“Our village isn’t much really” he said to that.

“Well then show me something better, do you have any gardens around here?” l asked sweetly.

“Yes, twenty miles away” he said to that.

“Oh” l said. “But that’s okay, you can drive me there” l suggested.

“l will” he said and winked. Was it just me or was he flirting with me.

Chapter three- Haylem

I snuck into Penelope’s room in the house, l slipped a yellow ring on her finger, this ring would make her lose all magic so that she would not be able to return to Heartfield ever again. Well somebody would find her eventually, but for now let’s have that brat Alexander worried. 

Penelope

So now that I’ve seen the human world l want to go home, l tried magically taking myself back but it wouldn’t work. So l tried again, but then it didn’t work, focus Penelope, l told myself fiercely but still the magic didn’t work. Hayden comes in,

“Is there a problem Penelope?” he asks.

“Yes, no matter how hard l try, my magic doesn’t work” l explain.

“What do you need magic for?” he asks.

“To go back to Heartfield of course” l reply.

“You don’t want to leave so soon” he said sitting down next to me on the bed.

“Yes l do, l am pregnant with my husband’s baby, l must tell him” l say.

Haylem-

I scream, and when l do Sarah comes running into the room.

“What’s wrong husband?” she asks.

“Penelope, Alexander’s wife is pregnant, pregnant” l say the last word with disgust.

“Good for them, it’s none of our business isn’t it?” she questions.

“Umm” l say.

“Umm, what, don’t tell me that your plotting something evil Haylem” she says strictly.

“I’m not plotting anything evil, in fact that’s what you want to hear wife, so l said what you want to hear” l say.

“So what’s your evil plan?” she asks.

“Not telling” l say to that.

“Why ever not husband” she says sitting down on the couch.

“Because you’ll tell them” l replied.

“Tell who?” she says.

“Adriela and all that” l say.

“You seriously need to get over Adriela and all that, seriously Haylem will you ever be good for once in your life” she says crossly.

“l would be good if my children and grandchildren were kings and queens, but they’re not, they are just plain princes and princesses, l want my children to have power, power is what they need” l explain.

“They need love Haylem, not power, l gav4e you a chance didn’t l when l could have married Alexander l married you” she said.

“Uh, just leave me” l said and she left.

Alexander

My wife Penelope has been missing for two days, how long does it take to explore the human world for goodness sakes. l will find her and bring her home and then we will explore the human world together if we want to. I find her in a small village, when l see her l say;

“Oh darling I’ve been so worried about you, are you okay?” l asked.

“Yes, I’m pregnant” she replies.

“Honey this is excellent news” l say holding her hands, “Were going to have a child” l say and pick her up and swing her around in the air and we both laugh. Let’s go to Moda now, she suggests and l try to take her there but her magic isn’t working.

“My magic isn’t working” she explains.

“Why not darling?” l ask.

“l don’t know, l tried returning to Heartfield this morning but my magic wouldn’t work” explained Penelope.

“Oh” l exclaim, “how did that happen dear?” l ask.

“Don’t know, woke up and my magic was gone” she replies.

“I see” then l think. “What if you were given a charm that made you lose your magic” l suggest.

“Yes, now l remember” she says.

“What happened?” l ask.

“I  woke up and l felt something slip onto my finger, when l woke up l tried to see what it was but it disappeared” she replies.

“Oh, I’ll fix that” l say and a yellow ring appears in my hands. “See it was a ring, now who would do this to you?” l ask.

“l don’t know, someone who hates me, or us” then an idea occurred to me.

“What if it was Haylem?” l question.

“Who’s Haylem” she asks.

“An evil man” l reply.

“Oh lets go to Moda and see some unicorns” she says to me and we both go there.

Chapter four

Haylem- My idea did not work, Alexander found the ring and knows it was me, well my ideas never work, some idiots always ruin my plans, but hey, at least I’ve got the woman of my dreams though l never listen to her advice. Oh well, then a thought occurred to me,

“Aha” l say out loud and eat my pork.

“What is it Haylem?” asks my wife Sarah.

“A brilliant idea, but l never tell you my ideas anyway, so” l say drinking some rosy dreams.

“Stop plotting evil” she says. “I’m so sick of this, be good or I’ll tell queen Adriela” she threatened.

“Honey, l can stop you from telling her, you have no magic no” l say to that.

“I can get magic” she says.

“How?” l ask.

“I know that l have no magic in my blood but I’ll get some” she suggests.

“Uh, just leave me alone” l say and grunt.

Penelope- My child is here, l called her Cherise.

“She’s got your eyes” comments my husband Alexander.

“And she has your blonde hair” l say. We are very happy with our first child indeed.

The nurse

She was peacefully rocking the child in her arms when Haylem appeared.

“Hello” he said appearing.

“And who are you sir that you should invade the castle” she demanded.

“King Zaylem” he explained.

“So your Haylems brother?” she asked.

“Yes” Haylem replied.

“What do you want?” asked the nurse.

“The child” he replied and stole the child out of the nurses arms and disappeared on her. The nurse screamed. Snow leopards rushed into the room and asked the shocked nurse,

“Who was it, where is the child?” they asked.

“Some king took it, now l will be fired for sure and l need this job” she cried. The snow leopard comforted her and put its head to her knees,

“We’ll find the child”

Chapter five- Cherise

I was a lonely teenager, all the kids picked on me saying that l had a royal face, my life was hell indeed, l had no friends, l was an orphan they told me. Or the other story went that l was left at the schools steps as a new born baby. Whatever the truth was l didn’t know it. Maybe my parents abandoned me and didn’t want me, maybe they had been poor and couldn’t afford me. Maybe they wanted one less brat to deal with. Anyway let’s start with my story, l don’t really know my story, who my parents were, what they did for a living, but l knew that l was a blue blood with a striking resemblance to princess Penelope, maybe she was my mother, didn’t want me so she left me at the school. Anyway whatever happened here l am lonely and friendless. I was very pretty, or so l was told anyway by the school headmaster Rudalia. He was handsome l must admit, but weren’t they all like that these royals. Maybe l was royal, maybe l just didn’t know it yet. Anyway today since l was friendless here l am writing stories of what could be, of what my life could be or was.

“Hey Penelope, tell us how Alexander is going” taunted Cassadia who was jealous of my royal looks.

“You’re just jealous” l say standing up. “Jealous that my blood is more royal than yours” l say bravely.

“Royals are full of themselves” she said and left.

“Hmm” l say and pick up my book and start writing again. Rudalia came and talked to me.

“Writing huh?” he questioned.

“Yes grandpa” l say innocently.

“You know one day we’ll find your real parents, whoever they are” he said optimistically. 

“Penelope and Alexander are my parents, l know it” l say innocently.

“Well they could be, you know princess Cherise was kidnapped as a baby so you could very well be her” he says. At least he was nice to me, all the teachers thought of me as one of their own, l guess it was because l was related to them, it’s just a suggestion, I’m not saying that l am but l could very well could be. “You look like her you know, you’re very similar” he suggests.

“Stop raising my hopes grandpa” l say.

“I’m not raising your hopes, you have the eyes of Penelope and the hair of Alexander my great grandson” he explains.

“Well one day you will show me to Penelope and Alexander right?” l asked.

“Yes l will” he says. “Anyway I’m off to see my wife Zionessa” he said and vanished on me.

“Bye grandpa” l say and close my eyes.

The next day was no fun either; l had to deal with that stupid bitch Cassadia, what was her problem anyway. The next day after that a new boy came in the class, he was called Edward. Apparently he was the son of Prince Alexander and Princess Penelope. l came up to him after class.

“Hey, so your new here?” l ask.

“Yes l am” he said to that.

“Look, still looking for your big sister?” l asked.

“I had one once, but nobody knows what happened to her” he replies.

“isn’t it obvious what happened to her, she was kidnapped by Haylem, the evil man” l say.

“Yes she was” he said and wiped some sweat from his brow in a princely manner. Maybe Cassadia was right, we royals were full of ourselves.

“Hope you find her someday” l say and leave him. It is questionable that l could be the stolen princess so l might as well look like her, so l go to my room and play princess dress up. I do my hair in an up do and create a tiara to go with it. Next l do my makeup like a princess, then l create a red princess dress, it is a very beautiful dress indeed, now l look like a princess and adore myself in the mirror. There is a knock on the door and my great -great grandfather comes in when l tell him too. I let him see my princess look,

“Why you dressed like that?” he asks.

“Because l want to see how I’ll look like a princess” l reply.

“Okay, want to save your look?” he asks lifting an eyebrow.

“Yes” l reply not sure what he was getting at.

“Give me that tiara” he says and l hand it to him. He places a spell on it and then places a spell on the mirror and waves a hand over me. “There your mirror is now magic, you can change your outfit with it any time now” he says and puts the tiara on my head. “Oh and it’s time for class” he says.

The next day since Heartfield had television now we were shown a video of princess Cherise.

“Hey it looks like Princess over there” taunts Cassadia and the whole class laughs. Edward looks at me and says nothing. Then an idea struck me, l was the princess, Cherise even looked like me. Everybody needed to shut their mouths about me, if they did not l would run away somewhere.

“Stop taunting me” l scream.

“No you little wicked princess” laughs Cassadia. Even King Eric and Queen Adriela had been made fun of when they had come here. Something needed to be done about the bullying, they ought to kick them out of the school, l thought quietly. So l decided that l needed to talk to Rudalia, the headmaster and the creator of the school.

“Grandpa, l need to talk to you” l say knocking at his door.

“Come in my child” he says briefly. “Now what is it?” he asks.

“Something needs to be done about the bullying, all over the school the royals are taunted if they become a student” he cuts me off.

“I’ll talk to that little witch for you no need to get angry, if she continues I’ll even kick her out of the school and her group of imbeciles, now no need to worry, why don’t you stop worrying about her and dress up like a princess, hmm” he says and l leave.

“Bye grandpa” l say.

“Aren’t you going to say thankyou” he says.

“Thankyou grandpa” l say and leave. So the next day Cassadia stops her bullying, he must have talked her good, l thought and smiled to myself.

Chapter six

Penelope

My child has been missing all of these years, l hope to find her  at Rudalia’s school. He, l reckon has been hiding her from me all these years, he knew that she was there and he didn’t tell me, how dare he. So l knock on his office.

“Come in” he says. l remind myself to relax as l come in, not to appear angry as a princess should, as my mother used to tell me, to be a princess is to never show what you feel inside, well l will need that advice today.

“Rudalia, l need to talk to you” l say calmly.

“Whatever about?” he asked what l reckon was innocently.

“My daughter Cherise” l say and he smiles.

“What would l know about her?” l ask.

“You know where she is don’t you?” l ask crossing my arms.

“If you came here to blackmail me or threaten me you won’t get your way, l have never cheated on my wife, never done anything bad, its others that cause drama not me” he says.

“You kind of did cause a drama, when your brother ran away to marry Vanessa and you took the opportunity to marry your lover Zionessa” l say strictly still with my arms folded.

“Hey we only kissed not did it, we did it when we were married little girl” he says crossing his arms.

“Alright l know that, but where is she, could you just tell me” l pleaded.

“Come to Moda at eight o’ clock tonight, that is when you will see your darling precious child” he says and reads his book.

“Why not now you old” he cuts me off.

“Excuse me, I’m not the one who’s cranky here, didn’t your parents ever tell you not to call people names?” he says raising an eyebrow.

“Yes” l say and let my arms down and breathe, then l remember why l am here again, so l cross my arms once more and say, “I bet that you’ve called people names before” l say.

“I might have when l was younger but now when l do it l don’t do it to their faces” he says.

“When can l see her?” l ask again, more rudely this time.

“Tonight, let the princess get dolled up first though, you don’t want to see her looking like a peasant now do you?” he questions.

“No” l say and leave.

Cherise

Grandpa Rudalia comes to my room again, it is seven o’ clock and he comes.

“Yes grandpa” l say and open the door.

“Good news, tonight you will meet your parents, now dress up as a princess and l will take you to Moda, the land of the unicorns” he says smiling.

“Why tonight?” l ask.

“Hmm” he smiles at me. “Because your mother knows you’re here, and she rudely demanded that she see you so you’ll see her, make sure you look really princessy” he says and l say thankyou and give him a big hug. Now the world knows that l am the princess, even my own mother, this is a big day for me indeed.

“Mirror make me a beautiful gown, l am going to Moda the land of the unicorns to meet my mother for the first time, well not for the first time but for the first time in my memory” l say.

“What colour would you like?” it asks. Red was my favourite colour of course so naturally l chose red. Wardrobe made me a beautiful ball gown and made me as beautiful as Nefertiti, l was a natural beauty anyway.

“I’m ready grandpa” l say and he is outside my door.

“This is for you, it’s a charm that lets you in Moda” he explains.

“Thankyou grandpa” l say happily and put the necklace on. The necklace disappears and we go to Moda together. When we arrive in Moda l am shocked at the beauty of the place. It is so pretty, I’ve never seen anything like it. “Whoa” l say looking around.

“Yes, it’s very pretty isn’t it?” he questions.

“Yes it is, l am amazed” l say.

“Now we must show to the king and queen they haven’t seen you in years” he says and he takes me to the castle. There the king and queen are waiting for me on their thrones.

“Oh its you, Cherise you have grown very beautiful, you were such a cute little thing” says queen Unicorns.

“Let me introduce them to you, Cherise this is queen Isibella and the one next to Isibella is King William” then another black unicorn comes in.

“Adriela hasn’t visited us in weeks, l just guess she is busy with her kingdom, Rudalia please tell her to visit us lonely unicorns” says the unicorn.

“Oh and this is prince Elard, the king and queens son” he says.

“Its good to meet Adriela’s grandchild and grandfather” says Elard. “I’m Elard a close friend of your grandmothers, known her since she was ten” he explains. “So Penelope is coming heh, met her once upon a time” he says.

“She was very rude and very demanding when l didn’t let her see you until now Cherise” he explains.

“Why didn’t you let me see her?” I ask.

“Because l wanted you to look like a princess when you first saw her, that’s why, didn’t want you looking like a peasant” Elard spat.

“Stop discriminating against peasants” he says.

“Alright your highness” he says to Elard.

“That’s better” he says.

“You should meet my wife Rosalina, she’s got a beautiful heart and is very beautiful, very majestic, the second best woman in the kingdom in fact” he explains.

“Oh Elard you flatter me” says who l guessed to be Rosalina walking in right now.

“Yes darling” he says.

“Can l meet my mother now?” l ask impatiently.

“She’s coming at eight o’ clock cause l told her to” says Rudalia.

“Oh” l say and smile.

“While were waiting for Mrs P lets have a royal tea party on the balcony” suggests queen Isibella.

“Yes lets do that” says a woman appearing out of nowhere.

“Adriela, I haven’t seen you in weeks” says Elard.

“Well l was busy looking after matters in the kingdom, but now here l am, for a good mother daughter reunion” she says.

“Excellent, l love a good reunion” says Rudalia. We wait another hour for the future King and queen of Heartfield to come. I am surprised when l see them for the first time, my mother looks so much like me and l have my fathers hair.

“Oh Cherise” says my mother Penelope coming up to me and hugging me tightly. I look in her eyes, they are teary, “I’ve missed you my baby, oh let me give you another hug” so we hug again and my father comes up to me.

“Cherise darling” says my father and he hugs me.

“Oh we’ve missed you” says Penelope and they both smile warmly at me.

“You haven’t met your brother Edward” says Alexander.

“Actually l have” l say, “But that was like two weeks ago” l explain.

“Edward told me somebody looked like his mama” said Alexander.

“Oh” l say and smile.

“We are glad to have you back” said Penelope.

“look at you, you’ve grown” says Adriela coming up to me and pinching my face as if l were a baby. “I’m your grandma by the way” she says. “The word grandma makes me feel old” she says and smiles. Two weeks later l am just getting adjusted to life as a princess when l discover a secret passage in the library, l never knew that there were secret passages in this castle.

“What if l get lost?” l ask myself out loud. “Then I’ll just use my magic to get back, then l walk on a trap door and l find myself in a dark room.

“Whoa, what’s in here?” l ask myself opening the chest out of curiosity. The chest was beautiful, it was gold and silver.

“You’re gonna regret this forever” says a cheeky little goblin coming out of it.

“Who the hell are you?” l ask angrily.

“I’m the one that’s going to make your lives hell” he chuckles.

“No you’re not, l say picking him up, but he disappears on me and appears somewhere else.

“You can’t touch me, ha, ha” he chuckles.

“I’m not going to lie, you’re going to die if you don’t get back in that chest” l say.

“Please don’t kill me, I’m only a victim of your family” he says coming up to me hands folded.

“Excuse me?” l question. “Why would you want to make our lives hell?” l ask out of curiosity.

“I’m not evil, I’m just an innocent goblin king who got stripped of his powers and has been stuck in a fucking box for three thousand and a half years” he says folding his arms.

“Explain yourself, what exactly were you in that box for did you do something evil?” l ask.

“No, ask your three times great grandfather what l was in there for, when you’ve looked up the history of goblins return to me, I’ll stay here l won’t go anywhere l promise because l think that you could help me” he says.

“Alright I’ll look it up Mr goblin, then we can talk” l say and return to the library, l quickly close the passageway and look at the library catalogue, then l find a diary of a goblin. It was not dated.

“Today the immortals came to Heartfield, they don’t like us very much say we are evil creatures, l overheard one of their kind saying that we should be made slaves, at least the unicorns are nicer, they never plotted to make us slaves, we and the unicorns get along” so l read the second diary entry, “Today they made us slaves, they locked our goblin king and queen in a box, they tricked them into having a dinner, gave them a sleeping pill to make them sleep and locked them in a box, well they will pay for that someday I’m sure, Rufadus will have to be questioned by his descendants why he did this and his answer will shock them”

The page seemed to have been wet when l turned it, l wondered why so l kept on reading, “Today, king Rufadus has sentenced all goblins to death, we are to die, so sorry that this is my last entry diary, so sorry” l cried reading it.

“Mother fucker” l say and put it back on its place on the shelf. I return to the goblin king. “Alright, now l know what Rufadus did to you and I’m so sorry, so sorry” l say breaking down in tears.

“Give me a hug” he says and l bend down and hug him.

“I will fix this, you make babies with your goblin queen and start a new race of goblins” l say.

“Yes l will when we find her” he says.

“Do you have any idea of where she is?” l ask.

“No, haven’t got a clue” he replies.

“We’ll find her” l say determined.

Eviva’s daughter – chapter one

King James and Queen Eviva were overjoyed at the birth of their daughter princess Ellen, so they decided to hold a huge celebration to celebrate the birth of their baby girl. They invited all six fairy godmothers of the land including Eviva’s own fairy godmother. They all blessed her saying;

“You will have the voice of a lark’’

‘You will run like the wind’

‘You will have the beauty of a Rose’

‘You will be as graceful as a swan’ that and many other blessings. However they had forgotten to invite one other fairy godmother, Gerlina had been forgotten for two centuries and a half and when Gerlina had learned of this celebration and that she had not been invited to it she decided to take her anger out on the child herself and curse Ellen. She cursed it saying,

“When you are eighteen you will prick your finger upon a spinning wheel and die” But however, the fairies consoled the king and queen saying; <
