Chapter 4: The Knight of Champions (Part 1)
"Hold still Aubrey! I'm almost done with the back," said Cassie.
Cassie pulls me over to the tall mirror that was in the corner of the room.
She stepped back next to the mirror and gazed out her masterpiece. "Okay open your eyes."
I slowly opened my eyes and was lost in words. I stepped closer to the mirror as I examine myself from head to toe.
"Is this really me," I asked.
Cassie busted out laughing. "Of course it is and the best part is I really didn't have to put much makeup on you. You have great skin. I just had to add my own little touch to it."
I still can't believe it is me.
"See what a little makeup, a new hairstyle, and a gorgeous dress can do."
There was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Cassie asked.
"It's me."
We both recognized Eric's voice.
"Come in."
Eric walks in and was immediately taken back from what was standing in front of him.
"Okay, where is Aubrey and who is this beautiful creature.
Aubrey calmly walks up to Eric and give him a warm smile…
"Ouch!" Eric rubbed his left arm from the painful contact he receives from Aubrey's fist.
Cassie shakes her head at the sibling-like moment happening in front of her.
She and everyone that work at the castle know Aubrey and Eric relationship.
Even though Eric is older than Aubrey, Aubrey is the one who treats him like he is a little brother.
They always look after each other and both are ready to protect the other no matter what.
Cassie looks at the time and realizes that it's almost time for the show to begin.
"Umm, I don't mean to interrupt this brother and sister moment, but we need to get to the front of the caste ASAP. The other castle will be arriving soon."
Aubrey and Eric both lost track of time and realize it was getting close to showtime.
Eric was first to head out, but Aubrey knew once again Eric wasn't fully put together.
"Eric, wait," she puffed.
She walks over to fix his belt that held his sword. She takes one step back to examine from head to toe.
"Okay, now you are ready."
All Eric can do was smile.
"Once again you looked out for me Bri. Thanks."
Cassie jumps in to intervene once again to get both of them out of the dressing room.
"Come on guys! We will be late!"
Cassie pushed them both out like a mother pushing her children out of the house to get to an appointment.
The crowd is stretch out across the front lawn and to the parking lot. This night is going to be something to remember for everyone.
Mr.P stands at the gate in him King attire. The royal blue draped over him with golden buttons each polish to reflect the stars that shine over him.
Eric came out to stand next to Mr. P and waited for their guests to arrive.
"How are feeling Mr. P," he asked.
Mr. P takes a deep breath of relief.
"Eric my boy, tonight is going to be a victorious night for us."
Mr. P turns and places his hand on Eric's shoulder.
"And it is all thanks to you and Aubrey," he admitted.
Eric shakes his head.
"No. It's all thanks to Aubrey."
Eric knew that this whole night wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Aubrey hard work and effort to bring this all together.
Mr. P realizes that Aubrey has not come out yet.
"Where is she?" he asked Eric.
Eric look around behind him and don't see signs of Aubrey coming towards them.
"She should be coming, but I can go look.."
He couldn't finish his sentence due to the loud horn being blown.
Him and along with the staff and fans are covering their ears to ease from the brief disruption that has shaken the air.
Once the air cleared of the noise, Eric realizes that the visiting castle has arrived which was no surprise to him or the other staff members.
Mr. P stands with disgust at what was approaching him.
An enormous luxury black charter bus pulls up to the front of the castle.
Instantly, it was like a full production. Eight guys with long gold horns dressed in red created to rows of four. They each stood attention waiting for their signal.
The bus door finally opens and fog started to creep out and down to the ground slowly engulfing the concrete beneath it.
One more guy dress in red appeared from the front of the bus and made his way to the front to stand before the crowd.
The news team from around the area was filming and recording what they were about to witness.
The man takes in a big gulp of air before speaking.
"Hear ye! Hear ye! I present to you King Winston and Princess Trinity!"
Then the horns were raised and once again the air was disrupted.
Once again Eric covers his ear from the harshness of the horns.
Two more attendees came out with while holding opposite end of this roll up carpet. They placed it on the ground and unravel it until it reaches the bottom steps of the Castle.
Mr. Peterson's face went straight pale when he saw what emerged from the bus in a bright red attire with golden buttons, golden tassels, and a crown to match.
Mr. Winston came waving to the crowd like he was greeting his subjects.
Princess Trinity follows suit but she kept a more regal and graceful approach as walked off the bus.
The media rushed like a herd of cows over to the visitors as the knights were coming out one by one.
But there was only one that Eric had his sight for...and that was Tristan.
"Look! It's him!" A woman from the crowd screams.
Everyone turns to see who was last to come off the bus. A tall man wearing red and gold knight attire, brown hair, handsome, and with emerald green eyes to match.
The girls were in awed at physical appearance.
He gracefully walked down the red carpet as if he majestic prince.
Mr. P, in his usual fashion, tries to grab back the attention of the media but welcoming the visiting team.
"Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to our visitors, but also to our fellow Castle of Los Angeles." Mr. Peterson announced loudly for all eyes turned to him.
Mr. Peterson, Eric, and the other fellow nights made their way down the steps to greet their fellow colleague.
