Charles was still laughing. He was starting to freak me out now, really scare me. It didn't help that I couldn't see him, and somehow I couldn't tell where he was in the room or how big it was. Then he stopped abruptly and hissed at me again.
"He's back" Charles whispered and somehow I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Yes, I am." Frogface replied then laughed. "Your parents are as bad as you, Princess. The King thought that by just demanding me to let you go that I would. Your mother is smart though, she said my name, but it's you that has to say it not her. You don't remember my name, do you?" He laughed again. "Didn't think so. You're weak, that's why. Like your prince and look at him now. Where is he?"
That was a good question. Where was he? What did Frogface want to do with Lampton? Was he really gone forever?
"Where is he?" I whispered.
"Frogface, can we see him?" Charles' voice called out.
Frogface laughed. "Sure, I'll let you see him"
A picture appeared before me. And one word came out of me, breathless and accidental, "Lampton"
He was kneeling on the floor with his head down. I felt joy by just seeing his chest moving up and down. His hands were tied behind his back and the chains led to a hoop on the wall. He looked untouched though, unharmed.
"How do I know it's him?" I asked, hoping my voice sounded stronger than I felt.
"Oh, it's him alright" Frogface replied.
"But how do I know?" I growled.
Frogface clicked his fingers and a light came on, temporarily blinding me. I looked around the room quickly while he limped towards me. The room was small with wooden walls and floors. I was on a chair, tied by rope. Charles was kneeling a few feet away from me, his hands tied just like Lampton's had been. Charles' head was down but I could see his bright blue eyes watching me, he had a smile on his face. It hit me then. Charles' hair was dirty, dirty to the point of going brown, but in the roots I could see blonde. He had prominent features, clean him up and he'd be classed as beautiful.
"Charming" I gasped quietly as I was dragged to my feet, my hands now chained behind by back. The chains were cold but it didn't bother me, I had been talking to Lampton's brother. The one who disappeared, ran even.
"Charming." I screamed and Charles looked up at me, shock painted in his wide eyes. "Your name is Charming!"
"Shut up, foolish girl" Frogface hissed at me as he dragged me backwards causing me to fall into an awkward position. I got up as quickly as I could and followed Frogface. I was quick enough for him not to cause me to fall again. He led me to a door down the corridor and when we stood outside he turned to me.
"Five minutes" He growled then pushed me through the door.
