"Excuse me sir? I can't seem to find the young princess Zoraida. I have checked her room, the garden, and the lounging room but I can't seem to locate her." the young maid said, only moments later clattering and yelling could be heard for the fifth time that hour. The elderly butler turned to the young maid, he seemed surprised, "Princess Zoraida? You can't....you must be new here." the young maid nodded for she had been hired only just yesterday. The butler continued, "The princess is never where she should be. To find her follow the trail of destruction and the laughter that rings after words." he said before walking away. The young maid gulped slightly, she had heard rumors that the princess had been insane at younger times.

The maid walked, following the clattering and the trail of angry, embaressed, or scared people and then soon the beautiful high ringing that was laughter. "Jacky did you see that!? His feet went over his head!" the maid heard a young lady say inbetween the giggles. Then she heard another voice speak, "Yes, yes I did. Quite humorous if I may say so myself, but surely you have better things to be doing?" This voice was much more feminine and had a more feline feel to it; the voice was enchanting to say the least.

"Like what? What could be better than messing with the poor unexpecting souls that wander through this-" a small bell could be heard followed by more clattering and unending laughter.

The feline voice continued on, "Perhaps creating problems for you elder brother?" The laughter ceased for a moment before it was replaced with sly giggles, "Now there is an idea, excellent thinking my dear friend Jacky."

The poor maid never saw it coming; a young girl with long blonde hair and an obscenely large hat on appeared literaly from no where. One moment there wasn't anyone there and then there was a small bell like sound and the girl emerged from nowhere with a few tiny flames popping around her. She wore a large smile on her face and she was sitting on a small broom with the classic brush at one end but at the other it spiraled up into a square like pattern. Hanging off the front end or the spiraled end; which ever you prefer; there was a lantern or rather a Jack o' Lantern. Sitting on her shoulder the maid spied a relatively small black cat with large topaz eyes and a little bit of fringe between its ears. The witch chuckled and then she was gone with a slight whoosh that the young maid could both hear a feel.

The maid blinked once or twice, "I believe I found the young Princess Zoraida."

((BTW the rest of this story will be told from the point of view of Zoraida, for example: I flew through the air on my broom, Jacky at my side.))
