Chapter Fourteen

Hell Hath No Fury

"Is it my imagination or is my servant breaking the rules of her contract by getting married?" Brooke asked in an annoyed tone. "And to my enemy, no less. Shame on you, Haley. You know better than to do that." She then snapped her fingers. The bride, groom and their wedding guests were soon surrounded by Peyton, Rachel, Julian, Owen and Chris. Nathan stood in front of Haley protectively. Karen did the same to Lily. "I can promise you that your punishment won't be light when we get home. Now why don't you say good-bye to your husband and pack up your stuff so we can get going?"

However, Haley pushed Nathan away and stepped forward. "I'm not coming home with you, Brooke. I'm staying with my husband."

Brooke glared at her angrily. "Don't test my patience, Haley. You are already in enough trouble with me by running off with Nathan yesterday. I would have let that go if you hadn't skipped curfew and stayed out all night. Then you didn't return after I sent Nikki after you." She turned to Nathan for a second and said, "Good thinking on protecting your little cabin from not just me, but my coven as well."

"There's a reason that I didn't come back with Nikki," Haley reminded her. "After all, my parents weren't really mice, were they?"

Brooke knew that she had a point. "No, they weren't." She then thought for a moment. "In fact, I have a couple of other animals in mind for them." Nobody had a chance to do anything as she snapped her fingers and Haley's parents disappeared. In their places were a white dove and a white rabbit.

"Change them back," Haley demanded.

Before Brooke could respond, Victoria spoke up. "I suggest you do it, Brooke. Or you'll have the Witches Council to deal with."

Brooke glared at her. "Mother, this is none of your business. So I suggest you and the other members of the Witches Council stay out of this," she warned her in a firm tone. "This is between me and Haley and our little agreement between each other."

"Why didn't you just kill me then?" Haley asked her. "Because you wouldn't have had to worry about the prophecy coming true if you had." Brooke was about to ask how she knew about that when Haley continued. "I know all about the prophecy and my powers. That's how Nathan knew to block your magic and your followers from entering the cabin."

Brooke just smirked at her. "Really? I suppose that the Scott family told you the truth about your biological mother too."

"What about her?" Haley asked hesitantly.

Before Nathan could respond, Karen spoke up first. "It doesn't matter. Because as it stands, Nathan and Haley now are married. And I'm afraid that true love triumphs over a magical binding contract."

Brooke tried not to laugh. "Haley isn't in love with Nathan."

"Well, they wouldn't have gotten married if they weren't," said a familiar voice. Everyone turned towards the direction of the voice. Peyton and Brooke glared at Whitey as he walked closer to the group. "It's nice to see you two again."

"I can't say the same for you," Peyton snapped. "Kill him," she ordered Julian. He immediately turned his attention to the old man. Dan and Karen stepped forward to help him, but Julian and Rachel were ready to stop them. So they backed off.

"You do realize that you're outnumbered, right?" Victoria asked Peyton and Brooke as Julian and Whitey continued their magic fight. Haley was surprised to see that Whitey was winning.

"I'm not looking for a fight, Mother. All I want is Haley," Brooke replied as she snapped her fingers. To Haley's surprise, the rabbit and dove turned back into her parents. She rushed over to them and embraced them in a tight hug. "And it's clear that it won't happen tonight."

"You'd better get used to it," Nathan exclaimed angrily as he glared at the brunette. "Because she is never going back to you."

Brooke just smirked at him. "I wouldn't bet on that, Nathan." She then snapped her fingers and disappeared. Peyton and Rachel did the same. Julian, Owen and Chris soon followed, leaving Whitey and the wedding party.

After a minute or two, they figured that the wedding crashers were really gone. They rushed over to Whitey, who had been hurt during the last second of the fight. "Are you ok?" Haley asked him concerned as Dan and Nathan helped him get up from the ground.

Whitey nodded. "Still, I would like to check you over back at the house," Karen told him before she turned to Nathan and Haley. "I think the best place for Haley right now is your secret hiding place."

"What about my parents?" Haley asked in a concerned tone.

"Don't worry about us, Haley Bob," her mother assured her. "We'll be fine. Now go and spend the night with your husband."

Haley gave her a wide smile before she embraced her mother in a hug. She then did the same with her father, before she quickly said good-bye to Whitey, Victoria and the Scott family. She then grabbed Nathan's hand and squeezed it tightly as he snapped his fingers and they disappeared.

Brooke stormed through the hall until she reached the living room, where the rest of her coven was. Peyton and Rachel were right behind her. The others could tell by the angry looks on their faces that the plan to get Haley back had failed. "So do you have a backup plan?" Carrie asked Brooke.

Brooke didn't respond as Rachel spoke up. "Well, we didn't think we needed one until our old friend Whitey showed up," she replied.

"That old man is still alive?" Carrie asked surprised.

"Yeah and now he is going to tell the Scott family about Keith and Deb," Brooke replied frustrated. "Once that happens, I'll never get Haley back."

"Well, your first little plan would have worked if Haley would have believed you about turning her parents into mice," Carrie said. "If I heard the little troublemaker correctly, I think she had help with that one if you know what I mean."

Peyton knew exactly what she was talking about. "Julian and Owen, bring our little friend up here now," she ordered. Julian and Owen immediately left to do her bidding. They soon appeared with the blonde woman, who was in chains. Peyton glared angrily at her. "Have you been helping your daughter again, Deb?" she demanded. "Because if you did, you're in for a severe punishment. I warned you about interfering with our plans for Haley."

"Well, I thought my daughter should know the truth about her parents," Deb replied.

"What about the premonition? Did you force that on her too?" Brooke demanded.

Deb just smirked at her as she said, "No, that was her all on her own."

Peyton couldn't stand that smirk on Deb's face. "Boys, take her away until I figure out the right punishment for her." Julian and Owen obeyed her wishes. "I don't know who's more stubborn sometimes, your prisoner or mine."

"Well, they are related," Nikki pointed out as she came into the room.

Peyton gave her an annoyed look. "Nikki, we are in a very important meeting right now. What the hell do you want?"

"Brooke's informant is here," Nikki told her. "Should I let her in?" she asked as she turned to Brooke.

Brooke nodded. "Yeah, go ahead. We have a few things to discuss with her," she replied before Nikki left the room. A few minutes later, Nikki returned with the informant. She then left them alone.

"Was there something that you forgot to tell us about what went on during the Witches Council's emergency meeting?" Peyton asked the woman as she crossed her arms.

"Don't talk to me in that tone, Peyton," the woman warned her. "If you are talking about Mr. Durham, I didn't forget to tell you. I simply chose not to. Even if I did tell you about Mr. Durham beforehand, it wouldn't have made a difference."

"I thought the plan is to stop the prophecy from coming true," Rachel said confused.

"No, taking over the magical world is our plan," Peyton reminded her. "However, we can't do that unless the other members of the Witches Council are dead. The prophecy will come true, no matter how hard we will try to fight it." Brooke gave her a look as she added, "But that doesn't mean it will happen anytime soon."

"What I want to know is whether Haley really loves Nathan or just got married to get away from you," Carrie said. "Because she didn't answer my question earlier."

"There's only one way to find out. We'll just have to call forth their Cupid," the informant replied.

A Cupid suddenly appeared. Nobody was surprised that he showed up fully clothed. He looked around at the group nervously. "Can I help you girls with something?" he asked.

"We know you are a very busy man, but we need to ask you a few questions for us," the woman told him.

"Let me guess, it's about Nathan Scott and Haley James?" Cupid asked. Brooke raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Don't look so surprised, Brooke. After all, helping people find their true love is my job."

Brooke glared at him. "In case you didn't know, Haley isn't allowed to fall in love."

"She can, but she blocked her heart because of your little agreement," Cupid replied. "Just like you did when you went to the dark side."

Brooke gave him a look. "Watch it, Cupid," she warned him.

"Please call me 'Jake'," Jake replied. "It sounds more personal. And don't get mad at me. I'm just stating the facts."

Brooke groaned in frustration as Peyton snapped her fingers and Jake disappeared from their sight. Brooke then turned to her informant. "So do you have any ideas how I get my prisoner back, Charlene?" she asked.

Charlene Rimkus just smiled at her. "Yes, I do actually."
