Chapter 24.
The last door was coming up, Arnold was at the ready and nothing would stop him. Helga was still worried for his safety. "Are you sure you can handle your new power?" she asked for about the millionth time.
"As long as you are here to help me, I'll be fine." He said and pushed open the last door. They now stood in a dark cold room. The walls were painted black, the smell of death and lost dreams filled the air,
"Lady Sapphire." Came a demonic voice. "I thought I had killed you," he said smoothly. "Oh well, now I can kill you myself." He shot a dark orb at Arnold and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"What did you do to him?" Helga asked.
"Oh he is only sleeping, if you win you can have him back, but if you die then I will kill him and all of your friends."
"My friends?" Helga repeated.
" Shall we begin, my dear?" he asked as he charged at her. He hit her straight on and she fell back in pain. She looked down at her side and felt a soft, liquid dripping from her injury. "You are making this too easy." He said and ran at her once more. Sunil pinned Helga to the ground. "I shall enjoy killing you," he whispered in her ear.
'Oh, great! I guess I let everyone down. But I did not even try.' Helga thought. 'I just wasn't ready for this, I wasn't strong enough.' Helga closed her eyes, as Sunil pulled out a long sword, ready to strike.
"Stop!" came a new voice.
"Who are you?" Sunil asked.
"I am princess Sapphire, Ruler of Eurasia." The NC gave a bow. "No you will release my sister. Ruby?" she looked at you.
"What the hell?" Sunil said, "How can this be?"
"Oh well, many years ago, when I locked you away-"
Flashback
"M' lady," a handsome half elf, with dark brown hair, and eyes with every color of the rainbow in them, said, "Please wake up."
"Jeffery? Is that you, my love?" Sapphire said
"Yes, I have unfortunate tidings to bring," tears formed in his eyes. "For your safety, you must be sent away. To another dimension.
"No there has to be another way." Sapphire said
"Your sister will be sent as a decoy. " Jeffery started, "ruby will be sent to the new worlds, there she will be safe and Sunil will think she is you."
"I will miss my twin sister dearly." She said. " Okay let it be done-"
End Flashback
"So I see." your plan has worked." Sunil admitted, "but I am afraid that your dear sister's life is mine. Sunil rammed his sword down and waited for a cry of pain but there was only the sound of metal on metal. "You."
"Me." Arnold said. "You will never harm her."
"Arnold." Helga whispered as he helped her up. "You are through." Sapphire said. "Ruby. We must work together to stop him. "Light against darkness."
"Simultaneously Sapphire and Ruby began to chant. A blinding light filled the room. When the smoke cleared Arnold picked up a black orb. "Sunil?"
"That is him." he is locked up, for good now. With our powers united we are able to over power him.
"Oh." Helga said and crashed to the ground.
--------------------------------
"Helga wake up." Sapphire was shaking her.
"So you are my twin sister." Helga smiled. " I have found my real family."
"Yep, and when you are felling better I can show you around the land, that you and I will rule together, and I will be with my Jeffery."
"Oh, that means I don't have to marry Jeffery." Helga said happily. "Wait is you asking me to stay here?"
"Yes, I was hoping you would."
"Where is Arnold?" Helga asked when she saw his sword leaning against the wall.
"He went home, as did your friends. Arnold watched over you as long as he could. The portal to your old home had to be closed, so they were in a hurry."
"What?"
Why did he leave Helga? Will she stay or go? How is Arnold taking this?
