Author's Note: it's Carmen...and it's pretty long...



Shawna and Laura were knocked unconscious and Julian binded my hands. Conner held my chin and said, "I knew I made the right choice when I picked you."

"Why me? Get someone else!" I shouted and screamed.

"No one will help you. Julian's powers are extrodinary. He will be a great husband to you." I looked over at Julian, puzzled, but he wasn't looking at me. It was as if he was avoiding my eyes. He's kinda cute... I thought.

Still holding my chin, he shimmered down to what looked like Hell to me. There was fire everywhere and all the rocks were blood-red. It was so hot, that I had only been there a couple of seconds and I was already sweating. I need a bath...I thought to myself.

"Take her to the room." "Dad" said and with that he walked away. Julian took me to an empty room and mumbled something, so that the entrance was blocked by high flames.

"So," he said in this super charming voice. "I'm sorry I had to do that to your sisters." He undid my binds.

"I'm sure." I mumbled, but in my mind, I knew he was sorry.

"I truly am sorry!"

"Uh, huh...sure. I truly believe you."

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Hm, let's see. You're evil?"

"And you're not?"

Tears filled my eyes. Suddenly I just started crying. (I know I cry a lot) "But, you chose to be evil. I didn't! He just chose for me!"

"It's okay. You'll be ok." I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden we were kissing. I...like this...love this...

Someone coughed. We separated and I dried my tears. It was Conner. "Sorry my Lord." Julian left.

It was just me and Conner then. "How many powers do you have?" he asked, as if nothing happened.

"Two," I grumbled. He turned to me and smiled.

"I see you like Julian. Good. It's usually better if the couple getting married likes each other." I didn't know what to say.

He went on. "I am going to teach you your last power a bit early. It will hurt though, but I'm sure you'll live." He was mixing a drink behind him.

"What's that?" I asked.

"It's a healing potion. If this process makes you faint or die, you'll need it." I gulped. Die? Then he said those classic words that always get my attention in the movies. "We can do this the hard way or the easy way, your choice." I always thought the bad guys who took the hard way were stupid, and I learned form them.

"Easy," I squeaked.

"Good. Come and take my hands." He held out his hands. I placed my hands on his. "Now repeat after me: I will take this power to my grave."

" 'I will take this power to my grave.' "

"To get the things I surely crave."

" 'To get the things I surely crave.' "

"Now today it will be done."

" 'Now today it will be done.' "

"And later we'll begin the fun."

" 'And later we'll begin the fun.' " Everything felt fine until he let go of my hands. When he did, it felt like needles that were placed in fire were being stuck into my arms, then my face, then my chest, then my torso, then my legs, and finally my feet. Then, I fainted.



I awoke to find I was up on ground again and in a bed. But I soon realized it wasn't my bed and it wasn't my room; it was Father's. I sat up quickly, to find Father sitting at the edge just staring at me.

"You're awake."

"Yes, Father."

"How do you feel?"

"Horrible."

"Drink this." I felt instantly better.

"Thank you Father."

"Try it out." He was talking about the spell he did to make me have a new power. Father is so nice.

"How?"

"Concentrate; you'll see that you already know." I closed my eyes and put my hands together. Then, I rubbed them together three times. Then, I separated my hands slowly. "Open you eyes." he said. I did. Between my hands was a magnificent ball of fire. Turning my left hand, I used my right hand to touch it. It didn't hurt at all. Closing my left hand the ball disappeared.

"Wow." was all I could manage.

"Yes. Julian!" Julian... "You remember Julian, right Carmen?"

Of course I remember Julian. Lovely Julian who is to be my husband when I turned seventeen, but it was postponed, because...I forgot why."Yes Father, I remember." Julian walked in. I smiled.

"Carmen." Julian walked toward me and took my hand. "You are looking lovely, as you always do. Feeling better I hope?" He kissed my hand, and I blushed.

"Yes, I do, I mean I am feeling better."

"Good, our wedding is tomorrow my love. Sleep well." We were about to kiss when Father called Julian again. "Good bye my love," he said to me as he left the room.

Before Father closed the doors, he said, "Carmen, get some sleep you're in for a big day tomorrow. Good night."
