"Robin..."

"...yep, works for the enemy."

"How?"

"Long story,"

"Tell me?"

"Spencer..."

"Pleeeease?" Spencer asked with her hands clasped together her bottom lip sticking out and her eyes big and cute. Susan had no chance not against my girl's puppy face; it can get the hardest badass to melt in a few seconds.

Susan sighed rubbing the back of her neck. We were in the back of a van, with three guards in the back with us while Robin was driving, "After you were kidnapped Robin went into a deep depression, she felt guilty for not protecting you and she was angry with me because I forced her not to let you sleep with us that night. A man showed up offering counseling, he was an old friend of someone we knew a long time ago, so Robin went in for an appointment and she never came home. He put a spell on her making her everything she believed in seem wrong and everything she thought wrong seem right, it's called a reversal of thought spell. I saw her a few days later, she beat me but I could never lay a finger on her, I barely got away from her."

"Wow," Spencer and I said at the same time. What more could you say to that, I felt so bad for Susan, losing her daughter and wife at the same time and both to the forces you swore to fight against.

"So my parents are bad right?" Spencer's voice shook slightly; I reached over pulling her hand toward me and kissed it tenderly watching her relax.

Susan stared between us for a little, "Are you two together?"

Spencer glanced at me with a raised eye brow, we never really discussed if we were indeed together or not but I didn't want to live with out her and I love her greatly so I stared right back into her blue eyes, "Yeah...I love her a lot," the last part directed at Susan. All of sudden I felt like I had to get on the woman's good side, I mean she is Spencer's true mother.

Susan chuckled, "Relax Ashley. There isn't any one else I could think of for my daughter...I mean,"

"It's okay," Spencer assured, "I think I like the sound of that mom." I have never seen Susan smile as big as she did when Spencer said that, her whole face lit up like fireworks on the fourth of July.

"She's not your mother," through out all the conversation none of us noticed the van stop. In the door way was Paula glaring angrily at Susan, "I' am now get away from her!" Spencer looked between the two before crawling toward Paula who smirked evilly toward the other woman, "Ashley, come on you too,"

I wasn't scared of this woman like Spencer was, instead I shifted closer to Susan who wrapped her arm around my shoulders, "You two out now!" Robin screamed pointing a gun at Spencer's head.

Susan's eyes went wide and no more than five seconds passed before she had me and her self out of the van. We were in front of a cave, surrounded by a forest, in the middle of nowhere. Yeah if this isn't a complete scary movie waiting to happen, doesn't the blonde's always go first in those kinds; well I'm not letting that happen at all.

"Come on," Robin motioned for us to follow her into the cave.

The guards started pushing us along, Spencer quickly stood beside me grasping my hand tightly, I smiled down at her hoping to ease some of her fear, it seemed to work as her blue eyes lightened and her body relaxed. Our group was walking down a set of carved out rock stairs, lanterns hung on the wall lighting the way down.

"I'm sorry," Spencer whispered to Susan who was just a step ahead of her, Susan turned around with furrowed brows wonder why she said that, "For going to my mom...I mean Paula and not staying by you it's just..."

Susan placed a finger upon her lips, "I understand completely,"

Spencer relaxed a great deal more after Susan said that to her, "Where are we going?" I asked.

"To your destiny," Robin called back to me with an evil smirk and weak toward Susan who frowned, "What's the matter dear?"

"Stop, you are not my wife!" she growled back.

"Just because you don't accept that I've turned to the right side doesn't mean I'm not still married to you...unfortunately for me," she snarled right on back.

"You didn't come to this side a spell was put on you,"

Robin laughed whole heartedly, "Keep telling your self that Susan,"

XXXX

Ashley kept her hand locked with mine, with all this darkness around us it felt so safe and comforting, I didn't care where I was as long as Ashley was with me than nothing else mattered.

At the end of the stairs was a large cavern just like in my dream, a pentagon etched into the ground with skeletons all around and candles and people dressed in red robes, one of the robed figures stepped forward taking off the hood, "Dad?" I gasped out loud, I don't know why it surprised me well no I do, Arthur seemed so different than Paula, he was nice to me all the time and made me laugh, how can he be apart of this.

"I'm so sorry honey but it's for the best," he sighed sadly. All the years raising her and he'd grown fond of his daughter.

"What do you mean?" I asked he just looked back at me with sad eyes before yanking me away from Ashley.

"Hey let her go!" Ashley screamed from behind me as I kicked and squirmed trying to free myself. Before she got a step a guard slammed a fist into her gut making her drop to the ground, Susan beside her in moments keeping her from reacting again.

"LET GO, SOMEONE HELP ME, LET GO PLEASE!" I screamed and screamed but no one moved as Arthur, I refuse to call him father anymore and same goes for Paula, put me in the middle of the pentagram. Another man came over and helped Arthur tie my hands and feet spread eagle on the floor, "NO DADDY PLEASE!" I had to use that see if it'd snap that bastard out of what ever was making him do this.

He leaned over me wiping tears away from my face only to have me jerk away, he sighed, "I really am sorry it had to end this way Spencer," he kissed me on my forehead before walking away.

"Ashley, Susan help!" they were the only two here that I trusted. Robin had the other Lesbikes including Lucy, John and Max with them to some other facility so they didn't get in their way.

"Stop it let her go!" Ashley screamed, I could hear the heart breaking sobs she was trying to hold in which made me feel even more afraid. I saw Susan whisper in Ash's ear, her brown eyes locked on mine, "I love you..." she mouthed with a smile.

More tears escaped my eyes as a sob caught in my throat, "I love you too," I mouthed back but I couldn't offer up any sort of comforting smile I was just to frightened.

"Robin you don't have to do this, there has to be another way she's our child." Susan tried to plead with the other woman but she didn't seem to be getting through.

I laid there shaking in terror, darkness, skeletons, robes, chanting...wait when did they start chanting. Oh God the flames on the candles are getting bigger, I want out of here so bad, tugging on my chains trying to break free and run away, I really really really wanted to run away and leave and never look back...wait get away but can't isn't that what Robin told me in the shack...my mind wondered back to that memory...

"Mommy's had dreams Jay about you and another person but I can't see who it is, your in a very dark and bad place and you can't get away although you want to very badly."

Yeah that's an understatement of the year...

"Remember what we taught you sweetie, believe in the magic for if you believe you may be able to make the magic go away from everyone and make this place a better world."

Problem in that statement, I don't fucking remember what they taught me it was to long ago, okay Spencer think...what else did she say...Spencer closed her eyes trying to desperately think of the last thing she was told.

"It is time," Robin called out as she walked over to Ashley, "It is your time to take your rightful place as Queen Ashley of the Cryptics,"

"Never, I don't want anything to do with you and your blood thirsty followers!" she spat in Robin's face making me giggle through a quiet sob.

Robin lifted her hand wiping the spit from her face chuckling a bit, "You have no choice in the matter. Your parents were royals, your grand parents and great grand parents and so on down the line,"

"My parents wanted out,"

"It is true but to leave is to die,"

"You killed them didn't you?" Ashley was seething now barely able to hold her self back from attacking Robin or anyone else who got in her way to attack Robin.

"Did I play a hand in their demise, yes, did I pull the lever in which brought down their plane, no. I was the one however who kept you safe and off that contraption and I'm the one who sent you to live with the Carlin's, advisers to the Royals to keep you on the right track but they failed." Robin pulled a gun from under her robe and in a few seconds both Paula and Arthur lay slumped on the ground with a bullet in their heads.

"NO!" I screamed, sure they were horrible and had planned on sacrificing me or what ever but they were still my parents and I still loved them even if they never loved me, I didn't want them to die.

"Hush," a guard kicked me in the ribs making me grunt.

"Leave her alone!" Robin growled making the guy back off. She than turned to two other red robed figures, "Boys?"

They stepped forward dropping their hoods as well, "Glen...Clay?" how could they be in on it too.

"Sorry Spence," they said in unison making me want to gag. Was there anyone in my family who didn't want me dead, the answer struck me quickly, yes there was and she still wanted me around.

"I don't understand,"

"Both Clay and Glen's parents were killed by the filthy Lesbikes so they needed a place to stay, what better place than with a willing and grateful Cryptic family." Robin raised an eye brow, "Besides it gave you someone to play with." Okay what, it just sounded like she didn't want me to be lonely growing up, was that my mom talking, was she still locked somewhere deep inside that spell and in someway was looking out for me?

This is all so damn confusing, okay think...the last part she told me...Brain Blast...haha not really but I wish I was like Jimmy Neutron right now why can't I remember damn it.

Robin nodded to my now ex-brother's who grabbed Ashley's arms pulling her closer to my once loving mother while another guard held Susan back, "Let me go you creeps!"

"If only you could have loved one of us instead," Glen sighed in disappointment, "A Royal acting like the enemy, it's sad."

"I'm no Royal!" she screamed trying to escape but they violently grabbed her arms...wait violent...that's it...

"Jayden you need to mix your blood violently with this person, I know you'll be scared but you need to do this for everyone, okay Jayden?"

A white powder substance was blown into Ashley's face, even if she didn't want to breathe it in she had no choice it covered her mouth and nose. She closed her eyes as blood seeped from her nose, "NO...What did you do, don't hurt her please?" I called out but no one paid attention to me, what the hell do I have to do to get people to notice me for crying out loud.

"Are you ready to ascend my Queen?" Robin asked bowing slightly at the hips, why would she call Ashley that, she didn't accept the thrown she doesn't want it at all.

When Ashley opened her eyes my heart stopped working for a few beats, her eyes were dark black, no longer their safe warm hazel that washed over me with such sun light and love, no instead they were cold and lifeless, a evil smirk crossed her features, "Yes...I would love to ascend."

Robin smiled while Susan cried, Robin than handed Ashley a knife which had jagged edges and weird scripture written on it, "Release her blood in the circle, give us her energy and we will take this world by storm!"

"My pleasure," Ashley smiled widely. All the robed people stood at the corners of the pentagram, the room began to go black as the candles light faded down leaving only me and Ashley in what was left of the light and it clicked, I knew what I needed to do...I only hope that they fall for it.

TBC...
