Serena clutched the bare of the cell tightly and screamed, "Let me out! I did nothing!"
"It's no use," a cold voice called from across the way.
"Who's there," she demanded, turning to see the begger still aleep.
"Over here," a pair of blue eyes sparkeled like wine in the furthest corner.
"Darien?"
"Heh heh heh. Not close." the figure stepped out of the shadows and into the light. He
was a nicely figured male around twenty with blue hair as dark as midnight blue and eyes like the
ocean, "I am Saphire. I was once the King's wizrd which reminds me," he paused and disappeared
and Serena felt his hot breath on her neck, "You have powers don't you?"
She moved from his reach and choked on her words, "Yes... you teleported? Wow, that's
more impressive than mine."
"What do you do?" he asked and kept looking inot her eyes without moving his own.
"I... have premonitions. Could you help me out?"
"You'll have to do me a favor," he smiled.
"Anthing."
"Tahat's what I wanted to hear. I need a girl."
"Lita! She's a good frind of mine and also a witch. She has telekenisis and is really
good at it."
"I see. I'll have you out then," he held out his hand to her, "take my hand."
Her shaking hand neared his and she remembered the begger, "Can we help him?"
"No worry, he will be released," he grabbed her hand and the guard's shoes were heard in
the hall.
"So he actually put her away too? That's not unusual for the king I guess," the guard
laughed to himself. He walked to the cell and blinked in amazement. Only one form was inside,
"TIMMY!"
The second guard bounded to the cell, "She's gone!"
"She's escaped?"
"Yes, sire, I'm dreadfully sorry," the guards apologized.
"But how!"
"I do not know. She can't have left without passing us."
"Yes, well, Darien musn't know. We can't have him falling in love with non-royalty."
"Know what, Dad?" Darien said as he stepped into the King's office.
"Show some respect to me." the King demanded.
"Father why are the prison guards out of the dungeon? She's escaped hasn't she?"
Lita shivered, "I absolutly can't believe that Darien! Mina felt there was something
about him! But do you ever listen? NO!"
"I'm Saphire," he jumped in from behind Serena and held out his hand and looked longingly
into her eyes.
"I'm...uh...Lita," she batted her eyelashes and shook his hand firmly.
"Nice grip for a chick," he laughed.
"Yeah, nice...grip..."
Saphire pulled Lita to the ground and kissed her sweetly. He told her how he fell in love
with her at first sight and wanted to be with her for eternity. Lita's heart raced with joy.
"You can let go now."
Lita snapped from her daydream and took her hand from his grip, "Sorry."
"Dreaming again?" Serena cracked.
Lita's face flammed red and she tried to act calm, "Just thinking."
"Would you like to come to my place?" Saphire flirted.
Serena nodded at Lita and Lita smiled, "My pleasure."
Saphire's apartment door looked like an opening to a world of chance in Lita's eyes. He
opened the door but she stood frozen as her heart told her to go but her conscience told her not
to go inside the door. The door slammed shut and Saphire's eyes opened wide in shock.
Lita realized her mistake and sighed to herself, "Rewind."
Time froze and she felt all of her surroundings twirl until finally she was walking along
beside Saphire discussing whether to go his house or somewhere else.
"To tell the truth, I'd like to go somewhere else...like the skating rink?" Lita gulped.
Saphire's eyes glew widly as he still held eye contact with her, "Of course, I haven't
been there in ages.
"Great, then we have to turn here-"
"But I'd rather go to my home."
Lita showed her most polite smile and thought *Oh boy, he's desperate so it looks like I
was headed for disaster whether or not I used the time reversal spell*, "I really would like to
go skating."
"We will, but first I must show you around my dorm. We can get to know each other
better." his frightening glance never moved from her eyes if he were reading her mind. As if he
were sucking out any information he needed for whatever he was planning.
"Is there something on my face?"
"No...why?" he asked curiously.
"No reason, I guess." she moved her eyes to the ground as they walked along closer to his
apartment "What are we going to do?"
"Talk," Saphire responded and said nothing else until they arrived at the door.
As he open the door, she once again felt a horrid feeling as if bodies would be hanging
from the ceiling or rats would dart everywhere. In reality, his apartment was small with
everything a normal person needed plus an N64 and a pretty good size TV.
"Nice, where's the kitchen?" Lita asked hoping to seem like a glutton so he'd kick her
out.
"Um... you can't go in there but I can get you what you want."
Lita began getting even more suspicious, "I'm a good cook. I can do it myself and I won't
break anything."
"No, you tell me what you want and I'll get it."
*What is he hiding?*
Saphire flinched, "It's messy and-"
"You should see my kitchen when I am done cooking," Lita joked.
Serena paced back and forth in her room with her stereo blasting. She was home alone and
had a feeling that something was dreadfully wrong. She almost always was scared when she was
alone. Scared or lonesome, but this was nothing like the usual feeling. Someone somewhere was in
for it and it wouldn't be their fault. It would be, "Mine?" Serena gasped and felt herself
falling.
Another pramonition.
She kicked and screamed from the confusion and tried to escape from the premonition but
it had a death grip on her. Many fuzzy scenes swallowed her into their sea of misery unitl she
could see one clearly. A kitchen sat lonley with blood all along the floor. Puddle apon puddle
she saw. A bloody hand print stained the white wall. Below lay the dead Lita.
"Are you hiding something?" Lita flirted.
"Like a girl? No, you are just what I need." he said as he bolted the door.
"Really?" Lita purred.
"I need you like no one else. YOu are perfect. Perfect..maybe you should join me in the
kitchen."
It was a normal kitchen. *Strange* Lita thought.
"You'll have to forgive me, my kitchen is like a sanctuary. I'm sure you understand,"
Saphire said and continued his transfixed gaze.
*He never takes his eyes off me. Like I'm actually going to break something? Come to
think of it, have I ever seen him blink?* Suddenly, she was scared.Not for the usual reasons, but
for her life.
"I recently learned a spell to make hot chocolate heat faster,"she said and turned her
back to reach for a cabnet; she pulled out a glass, "It's really easy, would you like to see?"
she turned around to see no trace of Saphire.
"Saphire?" she gulped.
A rough hand grabbed her from behind and held her mouth tightly so she couldn't scream.
She struggled to get lose but it was no use. She bit down on the male's hand.
"OW...."
She swirled to see Saphire with a dagger in hand, "Whoa buddy, freeze." she said and time
froze in place.
Serena opened the door to Saphire's dorm and ran inside, "Lita!" she called out and heard
no answer.
*I'm too late*
The smell of fire came from the kitchen and she slowly adveanced toward the rustling.
She smiled to herself when she saw Lita and Saphire cooking together sweetly.
Lita saw Serena come into the kitchen and smiling.
*How can she smile when Saphire is standing there holding a knife?*
She watched as Serena walk over to the ocunter and nod as if she were listening to
someone speak.
"Serena, what's up with you?"
Serena heard Lita's voice but her lips were mouthing something else.
Saphire glared at her evilly, "Welcome to my fun house." his eyes flickered black and he
dissapeared.
Lita's body crumpled to the floor and the happy scenary changed to a normal kitchen.
Lita gasped as Saphire's frozen form spoke, "Your freeze spell? Very good. It doesn't
work on a warlock as powerful as me.
"Warlock?" Lita questioned, "so you're not a wizard?"
"Nope, and you are a mere puppet in my plan." he laughed and shimmered into nothing. The
smiling Serena burst into flames.
Serena walked over to Lita, "Where are we?"
"Saphire's kitchen, duh. Why are you here?"
"I had a premonition that you were killed and I rushed over."
Lita shiverd, "This is so freaky."
"You're telling me!"
Serena clutched the bare of the cell tightly and screamed, "Let me out! I did nothing!"
"It's no use," a cold voice called from across the way.
