Hours past, and Stella was getting worried. To past the time, she flew around the castle in her Enchantix powers for a little excersise. Then she made up a little padding in the garden and fell asleep. She dreamt of her and lance, dancing the night away at the autumn festival. She smiled and looked up, seeing lance's dark eyes looking into hers. Lance was leaning towards her ear and whispered " Princess Stella..." " Yea lance?" " Princess Stella..." She woke up and looked around. The person who was calling her name..,was baron. She gasped, for he was looming over her like a stalker. Then she punched him away and stood up, balls of light forming in her hands. "What is it baron?!" She hissed The lieutenant simply bowed at her. " My princess. I'm here not to fight, but to apologize. For my misconduct." Stella scowled. " You poisoned me. I almost died!" Baron shuddered. " I know. To think I almost lost you. It was suppose to go to lance." Stella shot light at him, making him push back a few feet. "I deserve that. Just princess, find it in your heart to forgive me. Please." He begged. Slowly he walked to her, enough to grab her and kiss her cheek, softly, but firm. He pushed her away gently before running off away from her, not looking back. Stella was confused, but shook it off. She looked up and saw a ship heading to the front of the castle. It was lances ship! Stella smiled and ran as fast as she could to the front. There she saw her new stepfather, waiting and looking mad. " John, what's wrong?" He ignored her. She looked up and saw Barons father, General Luther Star. " My king." He said " What happened up there?" The king asked " It was a hostage situation sir. He had one simple task. Under no circumstances was he to engage." " But he did." " Yes sire. And as a result all the hostages were killed. He's really crossed the line." " Don't let it be lance. Don't let it be lance." Stella thought. She looked up, and there was lance, cuffed up and being escorted out. " He's lying. It's not what happened. Your majesty. There is an invasion coming. You have to listen to me." " Invasion?" Asked Stella " No I don't." The king said, watching them take lance away. " He's mad." The general said " So it would seem." The king replied. Stella looked really mad at the two talking about lance like that. She looked at Luther and growled. " You really should rethink that when you talk about other people. He didn't try to kill royal people. Or try to rape them. Unlike your son, general." She hissed, and walked away, leaving him speechless of what she said. She waited till the king was done lecturing lance, leaving him alone. She ran up to him, but he didn't know, since he had his head in his hands. " Lance!" She said Lance looked up and gasped. " Stella. You need to get out of here. There's an invasion coming." " What about you?!" She said as she cupped his face. He held it. " Forget about me. Go somewhere sa-" he was cut off by an explosion. The force was strong enough to push the bars of the cell and Stella foreword. Stella beside lance, knocked out for a second. She woke up with lance shaking her. " Good your still alive." He got up and grabbed a sword and gun. He turned around and glared. " I told you to go somewhere safe. No go!" " Lance, that was before the explosion. I'm not leaving you!" She cupped his face again. " I love you too much to lose you." He sighed and yanked it away. " Your gonna have to leave me. You must get with your mother and you'll be safe. After this maybe we will be back together." Stella's eyes widen with tears. It sounds like he's breaking up with her! She sighed and hugged him tightly. " Be careful, Lance." He hugged back barely touching her, but he did have a sad look on his face. He kissed her head and started to run through the castle. Stella watched him disappear. Light was forming around her and she transformed to her Enchantix. She flew up and around the castle, looking for her mother. She turned a corner and there were tons of mutraddi in her way. They fired their guns, but she blocked them with magic. " Hello your majesty." Said a voice Stella looked and saw Luther. " You!" " Yes. I'm helping them. Shocked?" He chuckled. " Cuff her." The mutraddi sprang at her, locking her into electic cuff rings . If she tried to escape, the cuffs would shock her. She fell to the floor, because she learned what they did. Luther chuckled and cupped her face. " If only barons deal with the trix worked. One less royal family to kill. Now lets find the rest of them. It wouldn't be nice to not let you all die as a royal family." He chuckled again. " Too bad. I alwaysed loved your mother. Maybe I'll use her a little before I kill her" Stella growled and her teeth sharpened. She tried to reach his neck to strangle him, but got shocked and fell to the floor. " Now now. Lets behave your highness."
