Chapter 10: The Nightmare
"Flowers?" Said a feminine voice, coming from a long brown-haired, brown-eyed girl, dressed in a red silk dress, and wearing a blue encased in gold pendant.
"Only the best flowers, for the best bride." A deeper, masculine voice responded, by a tall, blue-haired, blue-eyed man, dressed in a royal blue outfit, suited for a prince.
"But the wedding's not going to be for another few months or so."
"This is where you're wrong, princess. You wed me, noon tomorrow."
"What!?" She turned towards the man, tossing her mid-back length hair behind her shoulder.
"You heard me, darling, I need your gift."
"My gift.but why? Why are you so eager to gain my powers?"
"Because..I must have..power, I must be able to be in control, and wielding such a powerful gift of magic, I will be able to accomplish my task." The man said, embracing the young woman, and continued, "with your help..we..will be unstoppable. I've already told you my plan last night.."
"NO!" the woman screamed, pushing away from him. "I cannot let you do this!"
"You're refusing me?"
"Yes..I don't care if my father wants me to marry you, I refuse to! You have such a darkened mind, and heart! I thought I could change you.to be more like Magus..but you..all you want is to-"
A window crashing open cut off the woman, and a dark hooded figure jumped through, landing a few feet away from the two. They both turned to face the creature. It pulled its hood off, revealing a tall man with shoulder length, untidy blue hair, and trickles of blood coming from the sides of his face.
"YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, YOU BEAST!" the man bellowed at the cloaked figure.
"Magus!" The woman screamed in delight, and started to rush towards him. Magus started in a dash for her, but was slowly pulled to a halt by an invisible force.
"Not so fast, boy!" the man said, and pulled the woman back into his arms with his magic and took out a long sword.
"Maria!" The slightly younger looking Magus screamed, and tried to break the invisible bonds that was holding him back, but couldn't.
"Aww, now isn't this just PRECIOUS!" the man said, still holding Maria captive. "The two adventurers, one princess and one.beast..who has fallen deeply in love with my Maria. But now it seems that you, beast, have stolen her heart from me, and have made her refuse to give up her powers to me, and to marry me. It is you, Magus, which she longs for. But I will not fight for her. If I can't have her.no one will." With that the man yanked off her pendant, and tossed it so that it flew right next to Magus' neck, the thin string leaving behind a light cut across his neck.
"NO, don't!" Magus yelled, still restrained in the invisible bonds. But he was helpless. The man pushed Maria in front of him so she fell to the ground, and raised his sword in the air, blade pointing down towards Maria's heart. The blade strikes.
"AHHHhh!" Maria let out in pain, and then collapsed, lifeless.
"Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"
