After eating we all go skating at the local rink. Mom was awful I was okay, not like the others, but I fell less than her. "Dec!" I look over and Jack glides over, best skater on the floor, "Jack," I greet. "Something tells me I'm going to have to teach her how to skate," he says, grinning at my mom. "Uh duh! I tried but," J says shrugging skating circles around everyone but Jack. Mom falls again, "Elle, Ella! stop," he laughed, "let me help you," he chuckled, skating over and helping her up.
Ella's POV
He came over and helped me up, a clung to him, trying to keep my balance, "you're too stiff, bend your knees, just a little, thats it," he instructed. As I bent my knees, only slightly and let him pull me across the floor. "Yeah like that," he smirks. "Shut it," I say. "Come on just relax," he says smirking pulling me across the rink. "Just look at me," he smiled. After a while we were doing better, he kept me from falling. He checks his watch, "midnight time to go," he says. I shrug and let him lead me to the bench to remove my skates.
J removes her skates and suddenly looks more than ready to go. We go back to rapunzels palace and hear piano music playing what sounds like 'Marry Me' by Jason Derulo. "Oh. My. God." J says. Seeing Draco in a tux singing. "A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head when I think of all the years I want to be with you, wake up every morning with you in my bed that's precisely what I plan to do."
He watched J closely.
"And you know one of these days when I get my money right. Buy you everything and show you the finer things in life. We'll be forever in love so there ain't no rush. But one day I won't be able to ask you loud enough."
No one moved or breathed.
"I'll say will you marry me? I swear that I will mean it. I'll say will you marry me?"
I saw the guys smirking in the background.
"How many girls in the world could make me feel like this? Baby I don't plan to ever find out. The more I look, the more I find the reasons why. You're the love of my life."
Everyone stood silent.
"And you know one of these days when I get my money right. Buy you everything and show you the finer things in life. We'll be forever in love so there ain't no rush. But one day I won't be able to ask you loud enough."
Wow. He could sing.
"I'll say will you marry me? I swear that I will mean it. I'll say will you marry me?"
Draco got up from the piano and it continued playing as he stood in front of J.
"And if I lost everything? In my heart it means nothing. Cause I have you, girl I have you. To get right down on bended knee. Nothing else would be better, better. The day when…"
J only stared in awe.
"I'll say will you marry me? I swear that I will mean it. I'll say will you marry me, (yeah). I'll say will you marry me the day I get down on my knees. I swear that I will mean it, what you do to me baby. Got me singing, (ooh). Got me singing, (ooh). Would you marry me baby (ooh)?"
He got down on one knee.
"A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head when I think of all the years I want to be with you, wake up every morning with you in my bed that's precisely what I plan to do."
"Tempest will you marry me?" Draco asks.
Tempest's POV
"Tempest will you marry me?" Draco asks. I stand there shocked, "took you long enough," I smile. He grins and puts a ring on my finger it had emeralds and some kind of black gem on it. "Wow," I smile and hug him. I hear several people go awww. Ella smirks at me. And I just smirk back. We laugh and shake hands. For the next several hours we endure endless teasing from everyone. We eventually escape to my room where we have a little fun before falling asleep.
Draco's POV
Yes, score! She said yes! I was too happy to fall asleep so I just laid there feeling like I had been handed a billion dollars. I couldn't stop smiling. I kept shaking my head and grinning, and she kept sneaking glances at me.
During the party, Hiccup almost looked panicked, I hope everything is okay.
Jack's POV
It was nice, peaceful, so of course, something bad was going to happen soon. Hiccup came in, "Frost, we need to talk," he said, leading me away, "We have a problem," he says, "What?" I asked, "Pitch, Hook, Drago… the whole nine yards," he says, "They're working together," I gasped. "Exactly, and you can bet we know what they will go after," he said, sparing a glance at Gabriele whom was across the room talking to Dec. "Dec and maybe a couple of others," I say. "We don't know when they'll come, so we need to spend every possible moment together, don't let Ella or Dec out alone," he said. I nod, understanding. "I will not let them hurt my family," I said.
Ella's POV
When Jack came back, I could tell something was different, "Hey, what's wrong?" I ask. "Nothing, everything is fine," he said. He was lying. "Jack you know you can tell me anything, right?" I asked. "Ella, nothing is wrong!" he snapped and I jumped back in shock. "S-sorry, I shouldn't have snapped, I'll tell you later, when we're in a less crowded area," He said softly. I see J shoot him a look that told me she knew what was going on. "Okay," I sighed. It was one thing for something to be going on another if it was dangerous. After the party, he leads me away and says, "Ella I know good and well you can take care of yourself, but I don't want you going out on your own," he said, "Why?" I demanded. "I'll explain later, I promise," he said, bringing me back inside.
"Fine," I say. I dance some, but the way he acted still bothered me. Almost everyone's acting stiff like they expect something to happen. I go over to J, "What's going on?" I ask. "Can't say here, Jack will explain all later," she whispered, "just trust us, okay kid," she says. I sigh and nod. "I just hate being the last to know stuff," I say. "I know the feeling," J says, "we need to stick together till time to go," she says. I nod my understanding.
"Hey, where's December?" She asked.
December's POV
I was blindfolded and gagged. My wrists were tied together and that infernal cuff was around my wrist, my legs were bound at the ankles, as well as above and below my knees. Why do I keep getting kidnapped? I pulled against the ropes, no give, I had been walking around outside and had gotten pretty far from the party, Peter knew I had left, I needed air. 'They'll be looking for me soon,' I think. God I hope so.
Tempest's POV
I walked outside looking for Dec. "Dec?" I called. I walked out farther searching. "Dec, you here?" I called again, we needed to find her. Suddenly everything went dark and I knew something was wrong. "I will bite back," I yell in a warning. "Oh really?" A dark figure asks. "Come out to where I can see you coward!" I shout. "Hello, Cue," Pitch smirks, coming out of the darkness, "Don't worry, you'll be joining your niece soon enough," he smirked. "Dad… Why?" Is all I say. "Revenge," is all he said, then I passed out.
Ella's POV
"They should be back by now," Jack sighed. "On the other hand, now would be a great time to tell me what's going on, now," I say, getting angry. "Ugh fine Pitch, Hook and Drago are working together," he says. "What?" I gasp. "And this is why I didn't tell you," he said, cupping my face in his hands, he looked very worried. "It's obvious who they're after," he says. I smile a little, "you know I can take care of myself," I say. "Yeah, but against all of them?" he asked. I shrug like maybe, just maybe. He chuckled, "I'm going to look for J and Dec, stay here, please?" he asked, but I knew I had no choice. "Fine," I sighed.
It had been a few hours since he left, they still weren't back and I was getting anxious. I walked out onto the balcony and sucked in a deep breath of freezing air, it calmed me down. "Why aren't they back yet?" I muttered on the wind. "Because I am distracting them," came a voice and I whirled around to see both Pitch and Hook. "Get away from me," I said, backing away. "You will not resist, at least not if you care about your daughter," Pitch said, creating a image of December with the sand, then crushing it, "You hurt her and you'll be frozen for the next hundred years," I snarled. "Oh, don't worry, she is safely locked away in my ship, along with her aunt, not to mention the fact that you and Gabrielle will be joining them," Hook smirked. "Not a chance," I said, my heart clenching.
Then another man grabbed me from behind, clenching a hand over my mouth and holding my arms behind my back. "Mmmph!" I tried to scream, to alert Sandy whom was asleep in the other room, but he was out cold, Hook slapped a cuff on my wrist, It absorbed all my magic. They tied me up and stuffed a rag in my mouth, Pitch blew some dark sand in my face and I passed out.
I woke up in a cell on a ship, "oh good you're awake," I hear J say. I was chained up in a cell on Hook's ship. "Ung, what happened?" I asked, I looked over and Dec sat in another cell, bound, gagged and blindfolded. "Mmmph!" She called against the gag. "Dec, calm down, you're going to exhaust yourself, you need to save your strength," J advised and Dec slumped back against the bars, along with being bound, gagged and blindfolded, she was also chained to the bars, limiting her movement even more.
I on the other hand was differently bound, my hands were tied behind my back and a longer rope tied them to my feet, my legs were tied above and below the knees. I think it's called a hog tie? There was a shackle around my ankle, chaining me to the floor. J was chained to the wall of another cell, there was a strange black cuff on all of us, it stopped our powers. "Gabby! He said they were going after Gabby," I exclaimed. J looked down, "I know…" she says. "We have to warn her!" I said. "Elle… we don't have any way to," J sighs.
There was a commotion and they hauled Gabby in and chained her up next to J. She tried to scream but was gagged as well. "Lep Mrp Ooo!" she tried to yell. "Yes I know but calm down and reserve your strength I'm thinking of a way out I promise," J says, and Gabby calms instantly. I sigh and try to pull my wrists out. "Don't you'll hurt yourself, trust me," J says holding up her left hand. the skin was torn off hanging on at the fingernails. I winced. "How are we going to get out of here?" I sighed. "For once we wait and see what happens…" J sighs. I grimace, I hated waiting.
