Nicholas forced max to walk and if not, dragged the 17 year old behind him, Max stumbling every now and then. Nicholas led him into the dark cave, leading them through thousands of tunnels before Max finally saw some light at the end. As they got closer, he saw Tess and Isabell sitting side by side, also handcuffed, with 2 of Nicholas's men standing, watching them. Nicholas pushed Max down then walked over towards his men. Max landed hardly on his chest in front of the girl's feet.

"Max, are you ok?" Isabell asked.

"Yes." Max lied.

"I'm glad one of us is." Tess added.

"Max, what are we going to do?" Isabell asked panically, getting very scared.

"Max, I'm so scared." Tess said, her voice cracking from fear.

Max looked at the 2 girls helplessly then turned his head towards Nicholas who had his back to them. max then closed his eyes, concentrating. Isabell raised an eyebrow once she saw Max, he appeared to stop breathing. Suddenly one of Tess's handcuffs came open. Max snapped his eyes open, exhaling loudly, gasping for air.

"Wow, your right Tess, I never came up against that much power, ever." Max whisphered to her as he started sweating.

Suddenly Nicholas yanked him up, spinning him around to where he was facing him.

"Trying to save your sister and bride? Won't work Max." Nicholas replied as one of his men restrapped the cuff around Tess's wrist.

Nicholas shoved Max down under a large piece of metal. Suddenly a blue light flashed and within 20 seconds, Max disappeared.

"Where's my brother!" Isabell shrieked.

"Max! Where did he go!" Tess demanded.

Nicholas looked at them and smiled.

"To your planet, he's waiting." he said evily looking at Isabell.

Isabell laid on the cold metak ground. She moaned softly as she shifted. Isabell slowly opened her eyes, only seeing darkness. Immediatly she sat up, looking around. She saw Max and Tess lying on the ground next to where she was.

"Max." she said in fear yet happily as she crawled over next to him, clutching his arm.

"Max, wake up." Isabell said on the verge of tears as she shook him, he didn't respond.

"Max." she said helplessly as she hugged him, hopping he would wake up so she wouldn't be alone.

"Something wrong Velondra?" a voice asked.

Isbaell spun around on her knees to see Nicholas at the door.

"Stop calling me that, my name is Isabell." she warned.

"To me, your Velondra." Nicholas responded.

Isabell looked around then back at the boy.

"Where are we?" she demanded.

Nicholas let out a chuckle.

"Come with me." he said.

"Why?" she shot back.

"Because you don't belong in this dungeon, this prison, you belong with them, with us, with Kavair." Nicholas answered.

"I belong with Max, with my family, and friends, not with you OR Kavair! I'm NOT Velondra, I'm Isabell. My name is ISABELL!" She screamed at him.

Nicholas sighed.

"Your coming either way." he warned her.

Isabell glared at him then looked back at Max then stood up and started walkig towards him.

"Good decision." he answered.

Isabell followed Nicholas down halls, elegant halls. The 2 then came to some double doors, and Nicholas pushed them open and ushered her out.

"This, dear velondra, is your brother's kingdom." Nicholas explained holding out his hands.

Isabell's heart stopped a beat as she gazed on the beautiful sight. The stars were bright in the black sky and the designs of the other 4 neighboring planets were beautiful. There were thousands of buildings, looking as if they were made out of clay and everything silver. Isbaell squatted down and took a handful of silver shimmering powder, which was what was all over the ground, like sand only powder and silver.

"I, I think I remember this." she admitted softly.

She looked and saw fellow aliens walking around. Some buildings were destroyed because of the fightening, and the planet seemed to be in a state of depression.

"They can't know Max is here." Nicholas admitted.

"Why not?" Isabell asked.

"They would be overwhelmed, I recall people saying that he was the best king to have ever ruled, even better than his father. And if they knew he was back on this planet they would no longer fear Kavair and not listen to him and he doesn't want that." Nicholas explained.

"Did they love all 4 of us?" Isabell asked watching the aliens.

"No, not you, they hated you." Nicholas replied.

Isabell looked at him, looking angry.

"Why?" she demanded.

"Because you killed the king." Nicholas answered smiling.

"This way." nicholas replied pusing her back into the building.

Nicholas again lead her down the palace aand then stopped and turned and faced her in front of a door.

"In this room, is the man that you killed the kingdom for." he warned then opened the door.

"After you." he said.

Isabell glanced nervously everywhere and pushed her haid behind her ears as nicholas pushed her in. She then saw a dark figure sitting in a large chair on the left side, middle of the room, against a wall.

"Please sit." a voice spoke to her.

Isabell felt a force, force her down into the chair, her heart racing, The man then stepped into the light. His brown hair spiked up with red highlights, he wore black jeans, and boots, and a whtie t-shirt with a black jacket over it. His cold eyes looked sharply at her.

"Velondra." he said breathlessly, walking up to her, touching her face and kissing her.

Isabell immediatly punched him. She would have slapped him but Max taught her to punch instead of slap a guy off her.

"That's for Max!" she told him.

Kavair then grabbed her throat.

"Max? Who's Max?" he hissed.

"My brother." she said not so confident and scared.

Kavair smirked then let go of her and rubbed his jaw.

"You mean the same brother that you, yourself killed in the EXACT same spot where your sitting now? That brother?" Kavair asked pacing in front of her.

"The same brother that is king of this amazing planet?" Kavair asked again.

"I did not kill Max, Velondra killed Zan. And unlike Zan and Velondra, Max and I care for each other." Isabell answered.

"Who said Zan and Velondra weren't as close as 'you and Max' are now? You really don't remember huh? That's why it was 100 times better to see his face once you shot him then slit his throat." Kavair replied.

"STOP!" Isabell screamed at him, covering her ears.

Kavair grabbed her wrists and removed her hands from her ears.

"Velondra, I love you. I think you need to remember the past." Kavair said then waved his hand in front of her face.
