Her Brave Prince, His Little Princess

I do NOT Own Victorious

Chapter Seven


Cat's maid left her large room as Cat looked in the mirror for a billionth time in the past hour. Her wedding dress was quite beautiful, but the feeling of happiness that should be felt on her wedding day was not there in her heart. All she felt was pain and heartache. She ached for Beck's hold and protection. She did not feel safe here. She had a feeling something bad was going to happen to her after the moment she says "I Do", but it didn't matter anyways. As long as Beck, the love of her life, was safe and alive, that's all she needed and ever wanted for him. She's take all the torture anybody could come up with, just to know Beck was untouched.

She carefully stepped down from the stool, wincing as she did for she was still sore from the punches she took from Tybalt the day before, and grabbed her hairbrush, absentmindedly brushing her hair. She didn't know how long she was standing there in a daze, but she heard the trumpet sound off.

"DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN!"

"INTRUDERS!"

"INTRUDERS!"

Cat rushed to her large window and gasped at the sight.

About 20 knights on horses were armored and shielded and they were all galloping up to the walls of Tybalt's castle. Two of them were without helmets and Cat immediately recognized them. "ANDRE! ROBBIE! UP HERE!" She waved her hands up in desperation. Maybe there was hope yet? "ANDRE! ROBBIE!"

Andre heard Cat's cries and looked to her tower and sighed in relief. "Okay, Cat's alive and safe."

"Where's Beck?" Robbie asked in fear as they were getting closer to the main gate.

"I'm not sure. Let's rescue Cat and then she hopefully will know where he is." Andre said as they all stopped when the iron gate was closing down. "It may take a minute or two though." He looked back up to Cat. "WE'RE COMING, CAT!" Cat smiled happily and nodded to show Andre that she heard him. Andre had wide eyes when she saw the black knight come behind her and slap his hand over her mouth and dragged her out of his sight. "NO! CAT!" As the knights and Robbie were struggling to break down the gate, Andre was looked terrified. If they discover Cat did that, would they kill her? Go find Beck and kill him too? He couldn't lose his two friends. He couldn't!


Cat was breathing heavily as the black knight, who kidnapped her in the first place, dragged her away from the window and out of Andre's view. She tried releasing his grip on her, but she was obviously to weak and small. He threw her violently on her bed with a grunt. She shrieked in fear at the impact and then quickly turned to him and panicked. "Please, don't hurt me!"

The knight kneeled down to her and she whimpered under his body. "Your hourglass is about to run out of sand, princess."


Tybalt was growling with anger at the sight of his kingdom under attack. "They've come for the princess and prince!" He punched the nearest wall. "GUARDS! GUARDS! KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL!" He yelled bloody murder and suddenly saw all his men running out towards the main gate. He ran to the chapel and saw the preacher there, who was about to marry Tybalt and Caterina. "There is no time to waste!" He yelled.

The preacher shook in fear. "What do you mean?"

"Instead of tonight, the wedding is NOW!" Tybalt yelled. "The castle is under attack! I need to marry the princess and just to prove her knights unworthy! I'll kill her once you pronounce us married!"

The preacher was, of course, against murder, but he was afraid of Tybalt killing him. "Yes, sir! Where is the princess?"

"My main knight is bringing her now." Tybalt growled.

"MY LORD!" Another guard came in to the chapel, out of breath. "They've damaged the gate! They're in! They've invaded the castle!"

"WHERE IS THE PRINCESS?" Tybalt snarled loudly.

As if on cue, the black knight was carrying Cat over his shoulder, as she was punching him with her tiny fists on his back. "Here, sir." The black knight said calmly as he dropped Cat harshly onto the stone floor next to Tybalt's feet.

Tybalt grabbed Cat's hair, making her scream in pain, and forced her to her feet. He glared to the preacher. "NOW! START NOW!"


Andre and Robbie abandoned their horses as they rushed into the castle, swords drawn with helmets now on. After fighting a few knights off, Andre removed one's helmet and shook him a bit. "Where is Princess Caterina? Where are they holding Prince Oliver?"

The guard coughed from pain. "They…they've taken…the princess…away…but…but the prince…is down…in the…dungeons."

Andre dropped him, as he and Robbie immediately broke into a run to get down the stairs.


"We are gathered here today-"

"YOU CAN'T GO ANY FASTER?" Tybalt snapped, gripping Cat's wrists with his larger hands, making her break into tears.

The preacher shakily shook his head. "No, sir! You will not be legally married if you don't hear all of this!"

Tybalt growled. "Fine! So be it! HURRY!"


Andre and Robbie finally found the staircase to the lower level of the hideous castle and saw one large cage, where Beck was gripping the bars, trying to free himself. "BECK!" The two young men yelled out once they stopped their running at his cell. "We'll get you out!" Robbie said as he took a pin out of his armor and began picking the lock.

Beck looked horrified. "What is going on upstairs? All I've been hearing are screams and crashes everywhere up there!"

Andre watched closely as Robbie continued to concentrate. "We'll explain later, but- come on, Rob, Cat doesn't have much time!"

Beck gasped. "Cat? CAT! What happened to her? Please tell me she's not hurt! PLEASE!"

"I'm not sure, Beck, but remain calm!" Andre told him. "She's been moved somewhere in the castle-"

"THE CHAPEL!" Beck suddenly yelled out as Robbie broke the lock. The three of them ran back up the staircase. "We need to find the chapel! The wedding was going to be today! The prince here would've moved it to now!"

"Wedding?" Robbie questioned, trying to keep up. "What wedding?"

"Does it matter now?" Beck snarled. "Let's find my princess!"


"Does anyone object to this marriage?" The preacher asked, getting no response as all they heard were the screams from the outside of the castle. "Very well. Tybalt Cromwell, do you take thee Caterina Valentine to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do! I DO!" Tybalt gripped Cat's wrists tighter. "Faster!"

"Caterina Valentine, do you take thee Tybalt Cromwell to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Before Cat could say "I Do", the doors of the chapel slammed apart. Cat gasped. "Beck? BECK!" She tried to go to her exhausted fiancée's arms, but Tybalt kept a good grip on her still. "Let me go!"

"Get your filthy hands of my fiancée!" Beck growled dangerously as they continued to walk closer. The black knight blocked Beck's way to Cat. "Get out of my way!"

"Not a chance!" The knight snarled as he took out his sword, but before he could attack, Andre grabbed his sword, using his athletic skills, and aimed the sword straight to the knight's face, making it stab into his skull and fall to the ground, creating a puddle of blood.

Beck went to the altar, but when Cat screamed in terror, he gasped at the sight.

Tybalt had a short, but sharp dagger to Cat's neck as he held her close to his body in front of him. His eyes looked possessed and he had no mercy. "Princess…say "I Do"!"

Cat shook her head carefully. "No!"

She squeaked in fear as Tybalt held the knife closer to her throat, making a cut. "SAY IT!"

Beck's heart broke as he sat a thin cut form on Cat's used-to-be flawless throat and he felt completely helpless from where he stood at the bottom of the altar. "Don't kill her! PLEASE! Don't do it!"

"Say "I DO"!" Tybalt said in a threatening voice.

Cat gasped as she felt the blood dripping from her wound on her throat. "I…I do!"

With that, Tybalt took the knife away, but kept a grip on her. "YES! I AM NOW KING! I AM KING!"

Cat elbowed Tybalt in the gut, but as he released her, she went to run to Beck, who was waiting with open arms, Tybalt quickly recovered and shoved his dagger into Cat's side. Cat froze at the sudden impact to her body and she saw what happened. "No…no…" She whispered shakily. Tybalt moved away from her, keeping the dagger in her side, and Cat collapsed, but Beck caught her before her fragile body could slam into the stone floor. "Beck…" She whispered.

Beck let out a dry sob as he saw the whole dagger's knife was nested deeply in her side, right where her lungs and ribs would be. "Cat…" Tybalt laughed evilly, catching Beck's attention once again. His agony turned into a pure hatred and anger as he glared daggers towards Tybalt. "Andre." Andre looked to him with tears. "Hold Cat." Andre didn't question him as he ran to Cat's side, taking her from Beck's arms gently. "Please, make her hold on." With that said, Beck stood up slowly. He looked to Robbie. "Give me your sword." Robbie immediately brought his sword out and tossed it to Beck, who easily caught it.

Tybalt brought out his sword as the preacher left the chapel in fear. "Are you really going to fight me, prince?"

Beck gripped Robbie's sword with a shaky, white knuckled grip. "You are going to die for what you've done to my princess." He growled dangerously, stepping closer to Tybalt, who looked unafraid.

Tybalt chuckled. "We'll see about that."

Thanks guys for reviewing. No preview for next chapter because it'd give away too much and make you guys freak out more than usual.
