Guest: Right.
Enjoy the next chapter.
Star and Marco walked out of the castle before turning into bats and flew up the side of the castle and flew through an open window. Landing on the stone-cold floor, they turned back to their original forms and Eclipsa looked up from her bed and slightly smiled, "Oh, I get some company for the evening and-" before she could finish, Star held her wand out and frowned, "-is something the matter, dear?"
"Just because we stood up for you earlier doesn't mean we completely trust you…they had to have had a reason for crystalizing you outside of-"
"They imprisoned me for abandoning the throne and marrying a monster," Eclipsa slightly frowned as she walked past the two undead teens and stared out at the dark garden, "They haven't even given me a chance to explain myself. They took my daughter and crystalized Globgor and myself,"
Star slightly frowned before she felt a cold hand on her shoulder. Looking back, she saw Marco standing behind her and she arched a brow in confusion, "Why don't you spend some time with Eclipsa? It might help with her trial if one of us learns a bit more about her,"
"And what about you?"
"Well…she's your ancestor, and plus I have to run down to the dungeons to see something," Star sighed and nodded before Marco kissed her forehead and turned into a bat and flew out the window in a hurry.
Eclipsa looked back and arched a brow, "Where is your little friend running off to, dear? Did I say something that offended him or-"
"No, Eclipsa, he had to run down to the dungeons for something and he said that I should take this time to get to know you a bit better," Star walked up to Eclipsa and stood next to her, staring up at the night sky, "So the crystalized you for falling in love with a monster? That's insane…I mean…I don't want to sound like a hypocrite, because I didn't really care for Marco when we first met…I wanted to kill him, but after saving me and giving me a place to stay during a bad storm, the urge to kill him was still there, but I wasn't going to…not after the trouble he's been through."
Eclipsa frowned and looked at the undead princess as Star continued, "And then one night he took me to the park to get some fresh air and have some fun and that's when we were approached by his former friends and ex-girlfriend where they attacked him with Holy Water and see him go down like that…I felt the urge to kill him leave and the urge to protect him took hold and I started to attack his friends and-"
"That's love, dear," Eclipsa smiled and looked up at the night sky, "And that's probably why he wouldn't harm you while you were staying with him. He truly cares for you and-"
"He…he had to turn me after Toffee almost killed me…he didn't want to, but he didn't want to lose me," Star frowned and shook her head, "At first I thought my parents were going to have him killed for doing that, but…they thanked him for saving me and…we-"
"I get it, I get it," Eclipsa chuckled and shook her head, "It's good to see you two care for each other and I truly hope you two can help me with my upcoming trial," Star smiled and nodded before they continued to look at the night sky.
Marco walked through the dungeons, ignoring the glances of the people in the cells around him. Stopping in front of a cell, the two occupants looked up and the man narrowed his eyes, "So…you lied to our daughter? You're going to kill us tonight and-"
"No…Star and I had our fill of blood for the evening, Mr. Backintosh," the two adults glared at him with a hateful look and Marco took a deep breath, "I need a couple of lawyers and if I recall, you two were lawyers back on earth and-"
"And why would we help you?"
"Your freedom," the two adults stared at Marco in confusion, "If you two are willing to help a friend of mine with a trial that's coming up, I will see to it that you two and Sabrina are sent back to earth unharmed,"
"And how can we trust you?" Sabrina's mother snapped and Marco held his hands up and frowned, "You're nothing but a-"
"Sabrina and I have been friends since we were babies, and yes…our first day of kindergarten was probably the worst of our lives, but I can assure that I am not lying," Marco looked up with narrowed eyes, "If you help my friend with her upcoming trial, I will send you two and your daughter back to earth, if you three want to stay here on Mewni, I'm sure the king and queen have some jobs instore for you three and I will make blood pack that neither Star nor I will attack you three no matter what."
Sabrina's parents looked at each other before looking back at Marco and Sabrina's father arched a brow, "And what if we can't win this trial for your friend? What then? Will we become the next meal for you two or-"
"Wheatear or not you win the trial, my offer will stand. I will send you three back to earth, or we can find jobs for you three around the castle and we will not go after you or your daughter and I'll see to it that no one goes after you three,"
"And did you talk to Sabrina about-"
"She's sleeping, Mrs. Backintosh," Marco looked at the woman, "And while this does concern her, she isn't a lawyer and as I said, I need a couple of good lawyers," the air between the three grew still before Marco took a deep breath, "This is a once in a lifetime offer. If I walk out of here without an answer, you can forget about this deal and you three will remain in these dungeons until-"
"Okay!" Mr. Backintosh snapped and groaned as he shook his head, "You got a deal…but…if you screw us over, I will find a wooden stake and run it straight through your heart and-" Marco reached through the bars and the two looked at him in confusion, "What's this?"
"Shake on it," Marco's eyes flashed and the two looked at him with hardened looks crossing their faces, "Shake on it. We have a deal. Help my friend with her trial and I promise we will either send you back to earth or find a job for you three around the castle," Sabrina's father reached up and shook Marco's hand before his wife reached up and did the same.
Marco turned and began walking away from the cell, "Rest up. I'll be back tomorrow night to let you two out so you can prepare for this trial," the two watched as the undead teen walked away.
"Mike? Can we really trust him? What if we-"
"Daphne…he's giving us a chance to get out of here…and Marco's right, he and Sabrina have been friends when they were babies and we can always tell when the little bastard was lying…and he's not lying," Daphne sighed and nodded, "If all goes well, we'll be home right after this trial and we'll leave Echo Creek behind," Daphne sighed and nodded before resting her head on her husband's shoulder and Mike wrapped an arm around her.
Well…I wanted to add a little something here…as always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
