I am so sorry I didn't get this up at New Years! I didn't even get it up till the beginning of February. So much for being punctual. Oh well. Again I apologize. I actually have no life I'm just lazy. Well that's only half true, I do have a life. Between High school, Vo-Tech, Basketball, and Work, my time is a little slim actually. And I've been feeling a little burned out lately so that's another reason this chapter has taken so long.
So again I'm SO Sorry. Thank you to all of you who have been so patient. Any way on with the show....er...Story. Sorry ^_^! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------

Chapter 6: A Fitting End with a Terrible Price.
As Flicker made his way to castle Threadbare, Count Geoffrey and his knights were making the princess feel 'right at home'.
Princess Flame woke with a start at the sound of laughter. Groggily she opened her eyes and sat up. The room she was in was dank and musty. Not at all like her room back home.
"Where am I?" she asked out loud.
"Castle Threadbare, Princess. I trust you slept well." came a reply and out of the shadows stepped Count Geoffrey.
Flame sneered at him.
"What have you done? Why have you brought me here to this horrible place?" Flame snapped.
"I thought that you might simply like to get out of the horrid stuffy castle and come visit me, my dear." Count Geoffrey snickered.
"In your dreams Geoffrey." Flame spat back.
"Whatever. Anyway, the real reason you're here is because, I know, King Allfire would give anything to keep you safe. Including Castle Camelhot. So I'm using you as ransom. You, in exchange for Camelhot and never having to see your ugly dragon faces again." Geoffrey ranted.
"You do know that everyone is gone don't you? They're all on Holiday!" Flame screamed.
Geoffrey sneered evilly, "Yes, I know, but that squire, you adore so much, would do anything to save you. Even risk his fool hearted neck by coming here trying to rescue you. And when he comes my knights will be ready. Then princess, you won't have a savior and you and he will be kept here until Allfire and his knights return. At such time Allfire will give me Camelhot and all the dragons will be gone forever! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" He laughed.
Flame stared hardly at him, "Don't underestimate anyone, ever, Count Geoffrey. That may, very well, be your undoing."
"I'm so scared of the squire, princess. 'Oh no, save us from the helpless squire.' Yeah right, princess, give me a break. HAHA!" he teased as he walked out.
"Oh Flicker, please, stay where you're at. Don't do anything stupid." Flame pleaded to the darkness.
Flicker, however, was not listening for Flame's plea. He was standing right outside Castle Threadbare, when he noticed the measures Count Geoffrey took to make Flicker feel 'welcome'.
"So Much for the direct approach," Flicker thought, "I'm going to have to find another way in."
Flicker searched the perimeter of the castle until he found a crack in the side of the castle that was big enough for him to fit through the only problem was how to get over the moat without being ripped to shreds by the alligators. He decided to do it the way Sir Loungealot suggested, 'with flair'. So he just jumped in and swam for his life. Thank heavens the moat wasn't very wide because if it had been just a few inches longer Flicker would have been gator chow.
"I'm never doing anything like that again. Ever." he panted as he leaned up against the castle wall.
"Well, now to go get Flame." He crawled in through the crack and made his way to the main hall. He had been here before and could still remember his way around fairly well.
"I just hope Flame is safe." Flicker muttered to himself.
Alas, poor princess Flame, though she was safe was in great need of some assistance. She had tried everything to get out of that blasted room. But for once Count Geoffrey didn't play the fool. He had sealed the windows and the door with something Merle got from the future, she called it, titanium steel.
"Well, whatever it is, I sure can't get through it."
Flame was tired but she knew she mustn't give up. She turned around and began pacing the floor.
Suddenly there was a pounding at her door and the voice of the really slow stupid knight came through the door.
"Duh, Count Geoffrey wishes to see you, Princess." he slowly spoke as he poked his head into the room.
Princess Flame turned sharply on her heel and 'Humph' ed as she turned her back to the knight stubbornly.
"You can tell Count Geoffrey, that I'd rather be bound and gagged and thrown to the crocodiles than have to look upon his wretched face again."
"Now Princess that's not a very nice thing to say. Especially for a young lady, such as yourself." came a cackling voice from the hall.
Merle, the wizard, was standing there with her arms crossed. Flame rolled her eyes.
"Well I didn't really ask to be here, you know. He kidnapped me! And I refuse to go see him after what he did!" Flame shouted.
Merle smirked evilly,
"Oh I think you will, considering your little, 'knight in shining armor', is here in the castle. It's only a matter of time before we catch him. So it's that you come with us."
Flame turned around quickly to face her.
"I definitely won't help you capture Flicker. I just won't."
"Oh, I think you will Princess." Merle smirked. She then cast a spell on Flame that quickly made her fall to the ground, unconscious.
Flicker, on the other hand, was making his way to the main hall. He slipped past two of the knights unnoticed; the only thing he had to worry about was the last knight, Merle and Count Geoffrey. Flicker wasn't too worried about the knight or Count Geoffrey, but Merle was a wizard. She could use magic on him if she wanted to, but even that knowledge didn't deter him. He knew he had to save Flame and he would too, or die trying.
Flicker rounded a corner and noticed he was, somehow, on the second floor looking down upon Count Geoffrey in his main hall area. Flicker glared at him and put his trembling hand on the hilt of his sword. He was ready to go at him at any second, unfortunately that was the same time Merle walked out of one of the side halls and Evil Knight Number Three. On the Knight's shoulder was Princess Flame, unconscious. Flicker's anger ignited further but he knew he couldn't give away himself, because it would put Flame in danger, so he waited.
On the bottom floor Count Geoffrey paced anxiously.
"Where is he? I know he's here already, why haven't my knights caught him yet?" Geoffrey grumbled.
"Geoff it's not like your knights are the smartest banana's in the bunch." Merle sighed as she walked up to him.
Geoffrey sneered at her, and snapped his head around, "Well maybe if you a would help a little more, instead of always berating me and the way that my knights are!"
"Help More!!?? If it wasn't for me helping you now you'd still be waiting around here sulking. DON'T EVER TELL ME I NEED TO HELP MORE!!!" Merle screamed, before letting loose with one of her magic beams.
Geoffrey ducked and trembled but he stood his ground. The knight didn't want to get caught in the crosshairs of this fight so he dropped Princess Flame to the ground and ran to hide.
As soon as she felt the impact of her body hit the cold floor, she jerked awake.
"What happened?" she asked to no one in particular.
At the sound of her stirring awake Count Geoffrey and Merle turned their attention towards her.
"Ah, my dear, so glad to see that your awake." Count Geoffrey said suavely.
Princess Flame began to scoot away from him.
"What do you want with me? I already know Flicker is here and he will save me!" Flame stated surely.
Count Geoffrey and Merle glanced at each other and both began rolling in laughter.
"That idiot squire? He couldn't find his way out of a paper bag much less to my main hall! HAHAHAH!" Count Geoffrey roared.
That was all Flicker could take. He was tired of doing this by the Code he wanted to save flame and prove he wasn't just someone's throw rug that couldn't think for himself. Without the slightest idea of what he was doing, Flicker jumped from the balcony he was on and landed right behind Geoffrey and Merle.
All laughter on their part at this moment ceased. Flicker stared hard at Merle and Geoffrey, his hand ready on the hilt of his sword.
"Count Geoffrey, let Princess Flame go or I'll...I'll," Flicker's threat was short lived as he went silent.
"Aww what's the matter? Poor wittle dragon got his tongue tied? Or maybe it's because even you know you wouldn't hurt any one. No matter how bad they may be." Merle gloated.
'Oh no,' thought Flame, 'They've had this planned all along. They both knew Flicker wouldn't do anything to really hurt them. They knew it.'
Flicker's breath was coming in rapidly he didn't know what to do. Up till now he was working solely on impulse but now there wasn't anything left in him except a very prevalent sinking feeling.
Count Geoffrey stared bemused at the young dragon before him, before he called his knight's.
"Evil Knights One, Two and Three, seize him." he commanded. The knights lunged at Flicker but thankfully he was in his right mind enough to fight. He pulled his sword from the hilt and quickly dodged the knights. He spun around and faced the knights head on. He wasn't about to lose this fight. The knights, though double his size, were slow and fought with their brawn, not their brains. Flicker was easily outwitting them but while he was busy with them Count Geoffrey and Merle grabbed Flame and ran out.
"FLICKER!" Flame screamed.
Flicker looked after her and was broad sided by the largest of Geoffrey's knights.
Flicker stumbled to the ground but quickly got up and followed Merle and Geoffrey. Merle and Geoffrey tossed Flame down and ran away. Flicker stopped to help Flame up.
"Are you alright?" Flicker asked her.
"I'm fine Flicker. Let's just go back to Camelhot." Flame breathed.
Flicker shook his head defiantly, "No Flame. Not this time. I'm not giving him the satisfaction of getting away this time." It had begun to rain and the water droplets fell from his brow around his eyes making his determined face seem even more hardened. Flame was a little taken aback at Flickers new found, for lack of a better term, flame of courage. She understood though, and kissed his cheek in the pouring rain. He pulled her into a hug.
"Be careful Flicker, you mean too much to me for me to lose you." Flame whispered. As they pulled away from each other, Flicker nodded,
"I know, I feel the same way about you." he said before she could say anything more and began running after Geoffrey and Merle. Flame stood there watching him fade into the darkness with her hand gripping her collar.
Flicker raced after them as the storm blew on. Geoffrey turned to Merle when the realization hit him.
"What are we running for there's two of us and one of him? We can take him down easily." Geoffrey panted.
Merle looked at him strangely.
"Listen, you want to face him, then you face. I'm getting out of here. Have fun Geoff, been nice knowin' ya." and in a puff of smoke she was gone.
Geoffrey looked around for some sort of escape, but he was trapped. A ledge to a bottom less pit lay before him and Flicker stood behind him cutting off his means of escape. If he wanted a way out he would have to fight his way out. Flicker stood behind him, sword in hand, and ready to battle. Without turning around Geoffrey pulled his own sword out. He stood with his back to Flicker and began to chuckle softly, but maniacally.
"So squire, it comes down to this?" Flicker approached him cautiously,
"Yes, I suppose it has." Flicker nodded. Even though Flicker couldn't see his face, he could sense a smile upon Count Geoffrey's twisted lips. Another soft chuckle and a brief flash of lightening and Count Geoffrey was lunging at Flicker. Flicker dodged Geoffrey's the main blow of Geoffrey's sword but part of the blade nicked his hand causing it to bleed slightly. The contact made Flicker fumble with his sword and Geoffrey knocked it away. Geoffrey knocked him to the ground and began to lunge his sword at him. Flicker continued to roll out of the way of the mad Count but each time he moved, it was closer to the edge of the ledge.
Finally Flicker was backed up against the ledge; he couldn't go anywhere, except maybe down. Count Geoffrey stood over him, and smirked down at him. Flame had just shown up and was about ten feet behind Geoffrey. She gasped when she saw what was going to on. Geoffrey heard her gasp and turned around quickly.
"Ah, Princess so glad that that you could join us." Flame tried to step forward but Geoffrey pointed the blade back at Flicker,
"Don't think so my dear, even if you don't try anything your little, knight-to-be in shining armor, here will be dead dragon meat."
Flicker tried to take this opportunity to get the upper hand but Geoffrey placed the blade at Flickers throat.
"Don't think so boy."
Flicker stared up at him fiercely,
"Go ahead, kill me. You're good at destroying weak and defenseless peoples and creatures."
Geoffrey smiled evilly at this,
"Well you see squire, what makes this better is the fact that now, I will have killed three generations of the Burnington family with this sword. Instead of just two."
With that said a lighten flash went off, not only in the sky but also in Flickers mind. Count Geoffrey, he had killed his family. He was the one to blame. The realization made something snap in Flickers mind, and he forced himself out of the way as Geoffrey's blade came down. Flicker kicked the sword from his hand and knocked Count Geoffrey to his rear.
"This ends now." Flicker growled.
"Indeed." Geoffrey grunted as he pushed himself up. He lunged at Flicker one final time. However, this time he would not bounce back. Flicker laid on his back till Geoffrey's form was clearly seen through the rain and wind. At the last possible second, Flicker grabbed his shoulders and used his legs to throw count Geoffrey over the ledge. Geoffrey's cries of defeat were heard faintly over the storm.
Flicker lay back against the cold, wet and muddy ground panting heavily. Flame raced over to him and cradled his head in her lap. "I..I didn't want to kill him. Not like that." Flicker muttered against the wind. Flame bent down and kissed him tenderly,
"You did, what you had to do in order to live." Flame whispered to him quietly trying to comfort him.
"I'm a murderer." Flicker sighed softly into the night before falling into unconsciousness.
