"Lydia Deetz, come one down! The wedding will begin in an hour, so that my beautiful bride can prepare," yelled the Prince, gesturing to Lydia. Basically every person in the castle was staring at Lydia in wonder, wondering what was going on. I was one of them. Had Lydia had a secret relationship between him? Judging by the look of shock across her face, I guessed not.

I was about to reach for her, to pull her closer to me in an attempt to keep her near me; in an attempt to protect her. It was to no avail.

To big and bulky skeletons came, and took Lydia, one hand around her arm each. The fury began on me.

"NO!" I yelled trying to take them away from her.

"Guards, take Mr. Beetlejuice up to the North Tower and keep him there until after the ceremony," Prince Vince ordered, a sneer on his pale, ugly face.

Before I could turn around, I felt two strong, bold arms wrap around my arms, practically choking me.

"Beetlejuice!" Lydia yelled, her beautiful voice stained with fear and fury as well. Her blue eyes were wide, her lips in a small O.

"I'll come get you Lydia! I promise!" I told her, wanting to convince her and myself. Before the guard could completely take me, I reached towards her, my hand brushing her fingertips for a moment, before the guard took me away from the one thing I needed most.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I mentally thought to myself as I heard the words out of Prince Vince's mouth. How dare he take me as his forced bride? I barely knew him? What was I doing here, standing still, when I could be running away with Beetlejuice? Beetlejuice? Wait, where was he?

Frantically, I searched next to me, hoping he hadn't left me. My eyes were wide, but I felt relief when I saw he was still with me. That relief was taken away as quickly as it had come.

I felt my arms go upward has too bulky skeletons took me arms, and were about to take me away.

"NO!" Beetlejuice yelled, reaching for me. Two more guards came to take him away too.

"Guards, take Mr. Beetlejuice up to the North Tower and keep him there until after the ceremony," I heard Prince Vince order, though he was far away from my mind at the moment.

"Beetlejuice!" I cried out, not wanting him to leave me. The one person who understood me most was being taken away from me against my will; I would not have it. Unfortunately, I was small for my age, so strength was not on my side.

"I'll come get you Lydia! I promise!" he said to me, his eyes fierce.

Beetlejuice was reaching for me, and I found enough energy to reach out to him too. Our fingertips brushed before he was taken from me, and I from him.

"Here you go," the guard said as he threw me into a cell. It was cold here, and I wanted to snap at him, but I knew it was useless. These bars were protected from my powers. I was no where.

The guard left me in my self pity, assuming I couldn't escape. He was probably right.

As I sat there, Lydia's beautiful face flashed through my mind dozens of times. I was also trying to think of a way to get Lydia back. Idea after idea struck me, but not one of them seemed realistic enough to work. As I imagined Prince Vince taking Lydia away, my fury increased. I felt y hair stand on end, and my fingertips turned a bright red. My straight blond hair curved at the end, to the way it did when I was furious. This was one of those times.

I was almost to the point of madness, when I heard a small tap behind me. A footstep.

I assumed it was a guard, or worse, Prince Vince, so I yelled.

"Whatever you do to Lydia, you will pay for that," I said in a low, menacing voice.

"I'm not here to give you news. I'm here to help you," said Ginger, stepping out from the shadows, Jacques and The Monster Across The Street beside her.
