I Do Not Own Any Of the Characters.
PREMINGER'S REVENGE: Chapter 1
It was pouring outside, and a man wearing a cape knocked angrily on the door of the cabin. His amber eyes gleaming with anger, evil, and insanity. The door opened slightly, and a small green eye looked out.
"Boss, you're back... here." Nack stuttered.
"Let me in!" Preminger pushed the door, and came in.
"It great to see you again, boss great." Nick said, scared.
"Yeah, we knew you'd get out on your own." Nack said.
"Yes, but I could have been here a year ago if you two were smart enough to let me out!" Preminger said, and then muttered something about how much he hated the fact that Nick and Nack were his Hench men. They were stupid and an insult to all who are evil.
"It wasn't our fault boss, we got banished far away." Nack said. Preminger looked at him, his ember eyes suddenly sparked with an evil plan.
"You're right, it's those girls' fault. Mostly that pauper's fault." He said, "I was almost king. My plan would've worked perfectly if that pauper hadn't interfered." He then looked deep in thought.
"The pauper is the one who ruined everything, and if she would not have met That naïve princess they wouldn't be able to stop me." Preminger said then he laughed evilly.
"What is it boss?" Nack asked.
"If the pauper wasn't there, they wouldn't have stopped me. We need to eliminate her." He said.
"How do we do that." Nick asked.
"I know someone." Preminger said, and then left the cabin. He rode his horse to a small cave in the mountain. It was the cave where another wanted criminal live. He was a sorcerer named, Herrikhan. Preminger entered the cave, it smelled like old bread, and cheese, and looked like a tornado had just passed through it.
"Who goes there!" A man's voice yelled.
"Hello Herrikhan." Preminger said.
"Preminger? What do you want?" The man asked.
"A spell that will eliminate a person from the world." Preminger said.
"There is no spell like that, but there is a spell that could bend their fate." The man said, "Who is this person you want to eliminate?"
"She is a pauper who married a king. Her name is... Erika, isn't it." Preminger said. The man nodded.
"A pauper. She was barely to get food, I'll twist her fate and make a day in her chilldhood be the day she died of a sickness because of starvation." Herrikhan said.
"Interesting." Preminger said, "Any loopholes?"
"Not unless there is a sorceress by them who can stop it, and even then it won't be long until the spell starts working." Herrikhan said. Preminger nodded.
"What's in it for you?" Preminger asked.
"Nothing." The sorcerer said. Preminger eyed Herrikhan suspiciously. Herrikhan just shrugged.
"Fine." Preminger said, "I'll do the rest."
Erika suddenly felt a bit light headed. She stumbled, and nearly fell, but strong arms caught her before she could.
"Are you alright, Erika?" Dominick asked, helping her get her balance back. Erika nodded.
"Just a bit dizzy that's all." She whispered. Dominick knew it wasn't just that, but decided not to push it. He knew that Erika could be pretty scary when angry.
"Erika?" Anneliese asked coming over to her friend, "Are you alright? You look tired."
"I'm fine, really. Don't worry about me." Erika insisted. Anneliese glared at her suspiciously, but like Dominick decided not to push it.
Across the room, a pair of blueish gray eyes watched them. The girl's black hair floating around her, she wore a black and dark blue dress, and around her neck was a pendant that was in the shape of an odd-looking star. She watched making sure not to lose sight of them since she knew what was to come. Suddenly, the room went dark, and the room filled with loud gasps.
Erika grabbed Dominick's hand in order to feel safe. Dominick squeezed her hand reassuringly.
"What's going on." Erika asked.
"Someone must have left the door open or something." Dominick answered.
"I don't..." Erika trailed off as she felt a force tugging at her, trying to pull her away from Dominick. She tried to tell Dominick, but she couldn't speak. She held on tighter to Dominick, but in a matter of seconds she was gone. Dominick felt her hand disappear, and started to panic. He hadn't heard or felt anyone take her, he hadn't heard her tell him that she was being taken.
"Someone turn the lights on quickly. I think we've lost someone." Dominick said. Someone left the room, and after they tripped several times they found their way out. Dominick tried to stay calm while his heart started to beat faster with worry. Suddenly the person came back with a candle in her hand. It was one of the servants. She handed it to Dominick lit the other candles, there was no sign of Erika or her kidnapper. Dominick looked around making sure he hadn't missed anything. He then ran out of the ballroom, calling out Erika's name. Anneliese and Julian went after him.
They found him sitting on the bench in the palace garden. His face in his hands. Anneliese went over to him.
"Don't worry Dominick we'll find Erika."Anneliese said.
"How? We don't know where she is." Dominick said, his voice hard, "This is all my fault."
Julian shook his head, "Quit blaming yourself for everything Dominick. It's not your fault Erika went missing." Julian reassured. He knew that Dominick was better at blaming himself than anyone else.
"I should've went after her." Dominick said to himself.
"It was dark, you couldn't see anything." Anneliese said.
"I should've held onto her better."Dominick whispered.
"Whatever this thing was. It was stronger than both of you." Anneliese reassured him. Trying to make him see the only thing to blame was the person who kidnapped her. Dominick shook his head.
"I'm supposed to protect her, and I lost her without a fight." He said. Anneliese took out of her books, and hit Dominick with it.
"Dominick, quit beating yourself up like this." She said.
"Okay, okay just stop hitting me." He said. Anneliese nodded, and put her book away.
"Why did you have a book at the ballroom." Julian inquired.
"Just in case something goes wrong, and he starts saying it was his fault." Anneliese said.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Julian asked himself. Anneliese laughed. Dominick sighed. Anneliese frowned, she was scared too, but she couldn't imagine what Dominick was feeling. He just lost the love of his life for who knows how long. She couldn't imagine losing Julian. Dominick got up, and left feeling broken.
"Guards." Dominick yelled.
"Yes sir." The captain said.
"Form a search party, search everywhere find Queen Erika." He ordered. The captain nodded, and the guards left.
...
"Let me go, you creature!" Erika yelled.
"Get in!" The man yelled. Pushing Erika into the cabin. All Erika could see of her kidnapper when she turned back were glowing red eyes. He bolted the door shut. Erika gasped, and tried to open it.
"Oh, it's no use." She sighed. How she longed to be back in Dominick's arms. She slid down to her knees.
Well that's it for now. I'm planning on making it more interesting eventually. For now you have to deal with this. REVIEW!
