Looking GlassChapter Twenty-five: Disorder at the Alter
"Layla." King Evan squeaked. "What are you doing here?"
"Did you honestly think that I wouldn't find out about my daughters' wedding, which you planned behind my back?" Layla asked.
"Who told you about this?" Evan asked.
"We did!" The group turned to see Tatiana, the rest of Blue Obsession, Stella, Bloom, and the O'Neill boys walking in behind the Queen of Andros.
"Did you honestly think we would just let you force our friend to marry that jerk?" Lapis demanded.
"Get real, loser!" Amber shouted.
"Leave before I make you!" Stephan shouted.
"And how do you plan to do that?" Stella asked. "This is not your palace, and she is not your son's wife. Face it, you have no power here."
"But I do." Evan, who had suddenly remembered how to speak, glared. "Guards, seize them!"
"Not on my watch." Layla declared. "Just how did you plan to keep this from me? I know I've been busy but that is no excuse! Couldn't you tell that she was unhappy?"
"Besides, arranged marriages went out with the Mayflower." Bloom said. "Are you really that desperate to ruin your daughter's life?"
"Says the woman who let her daughter attend a warrior's school." Delia hissed.
"Who cares?" Ian exclaimed. "Not like she's the only girl there!"
"Besides, Marilee won't need much magic to mop the floor with you!" Lapis growled.
"You witches are not welcome here." Stephan sneered.
"We're not welcome much of anywhere, but we come anyway." Amber replied. "And for your information, we are entitled to be here, since Laps, Raver, and I are royalty."
"You will leave at once or I'll…"
"What?" Ryan interrupted the aquatic kings' rant. "You'll make us? That's rich!"
"Keep out of this, half- breed!" Rodney spat.
"No, we're staying right here." Ian spoke up. "And we both know you can't really do anything to stop us if a fight breaks out."
"We'll just have to test that theory, won't we?" Evan said. "Sieze them and get those bridesmaids out of here!"
"No!" Leilani shouted. "I won't let you take my friends!"
"Too late!" Stephan spat. "You will go through with this marriage!"
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Layla shouted, sending an orb of lavendar energy at the king of Isis.
"Same here, darling!" Evan shouted as he grabbed Layla from behind.
"Let me go you creep!" Marilee screeched, burning one guard's pants off. Meanwhile, Ryan had backed himself into a corner with two guards in front of him and a stone wall behind.
"Why don't you just give up?" One of the Isis guardsmen snarled at Ryan. "You're finished."
"I don't think so." The silver-eyed specialist smirked. "We've got you where we want you!"
"Wha?" Both guards blinked. In a flash, Ian and Will trapped the two men from behind, bit into their necks and drained the blood from them.
"Eeuww!" Twi blanched.
"That's why we called them in." Tiana shrugged.
"Aaaahhhhh!!!!" Delia, who had taken on Bloom and Talone, wailed as she plummeted to the ground.
"Not so fast, Red!" Bloom turned to see Diaspro hovering above the crowd. "I'm not letting you ruin my nephew's big day like you ruined mine!"
"Grow up you witch!" Bloom shouted, tackling the blond haired woman with lightning speed.
On the ground, Evan had overpowered Layla, and Stephan grabbed Leilani's writst and dragged her away. "You will marry my son, if I have to force you, you miserable wench!" The blond king spat.
"No, I won't!!!" Leilani screamed. In an instant, a teal flash of light enveloped the princess of Andros. When it faded, Lei was clothed in a light blue tank-top, an ankle-length deep blue skirt with slits up the sides and light blue shorts underneath, blue low-heeled shoes, and blue and lime butterfly wings.
"Yay! Lela got her winx on!" Ailia whooped.
"Your little tricks won't stop me." Stephan seethed.
"But this might!" the brunette growled, blasting the King of Isis in the torso.
"Ow!" The blond king exclaimed, releasing the gray-eyed bride.
"I think that's enough." Layla snarled, wrenching herselv from her ex's hold and pushing him away. "Now hear this, Evan! Call back those guards before they all are rendered useless!"
Evan glanced around and saw the destruction that the other "invaders" were causing. Rodney now bore a burn on his other arm, thanks to Marilee, and the rest of the wedding crashers had taken out all but three guards from Aquatine and all six who came from Isis to guard the royal family.
"Fine." He muttered through gritted teeth. The guards, who had heard this exchange, eagerly discarded their weapons.
"Thank you." The Queen replied. "But don't think I won't take action with this horrendous occasion! I will see you in court!"
"You have no right to…" Evan started.
"I have every right." Layla interrupted. "She is my daughter too."
Realizing he was defeated, Evan hung his head and remained silent.
"Well, if there is to be no wedding, we shall not stay." Stephan harrumped. He picked his wife up from the ground, and stomped out, his family hot on his heels.
"Good! Nobody wants to look at you anyway!" Raven shouted.
"That's why he was spying on us, wasn't it?" Amber asked her gray eyed friend. Lei nodded.
"Figures." Lapis shrugged. "Well, I think we're finished here."
"Hey!" Ailani protested. "I did not put on this hideous dress for nothing!"
"We don't have a groom, Ailia." Twila pointed out.
"Raphael is still here." The golden eyed princess said. "And now that Rodney's gone, Leilani can marry him."
"What!" Both teens shouted, looking at each other.
"You can't be serious." Raph glared.
"As a heart attack." The brunette sun fairy stared back. "The minister is still here, and Lei's still wearing the dress. Let's get on with it!"
You're up, Chibi! Can't wait to see you work your magic!
