Forced Emotions - Chapter 5
An Impatient Face
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN?!?!?! I'VE BEEN WAITING HERE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!" the now enraged princess shouted as her old companions walked through the door to East Heaven's castle.
"SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!!!!! We're here, aren't we?!" Belle shot back, rolling her fist up and shaking it at Mint.
"AARRGGHH! You HAD to bring the EXTREMELY OLD HAG WITH YA?!" Mint yelled, stomping her foot and cursing under her breath.
"OLD?!?!?! ARE YOU MENTALY CHALLENGED OR SOMETHIN'?!?! HOW THE HELL CAN I BE OLD?!?!?!?!?!?!" Belle yelled, making a fire orb in the palm of her hand, gritting her teeth at Mint.
"Milady! Stop!" Duke butted in, going in front of Belle, begging for her to calm done.
"HEY! This little [expletive] needs a good beating for callin' me old!!!" yelled Belle, sounding a tad bit calmer.
"[expletive]?!?!?! YOU SHOULD TALK, YOU [expletive] [expletive]!!!!" Mint yelled, starting her own magic with her Duel Haloes.
"AARRGGHH!!!!!! OUTTA MY WAY!!!!!!!" Belle yelled, punching Duke over so she had a clear shot of hitting Mint with her now out of control fire magic.
"Now now you two! Stop this ruckus at once!" Mira tryed, but to no avail: the two were going to settle it once, and, for, all...
"HERE!!!!! TAKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!" Belle yelled, shooting her orb of fire at Mint at a un-dodgeable speed. Mint went almost flying 25 feet across the room until she hit a column, making a small imprint of her body in it, as well as a loud cry of pain.
"HA!!! Not so tough now, are we?!" Belle yelled, running over to where Mint lifelessly laid.
"...It's...n-not over...yet..." Mint managed, attempting to get up but going back to the ground.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'd thought you were tough a year ago. Seems to me you've only gotten weaker!" Belle said with a laugh.
"...hahaha..." Mint laughed, making Belle stop her own laughter and turn to Mint in confusion.
"What's so funny?!" Belle barked, seeing no reason for Mint to be laughing.
Looking up, Mint continued to laugh. "Ha-ha-ha..."
"God, did I stop your brain from functioning or what?" Belle said, more to herself than to Mint.
"Ha-ha-ha...You're in over your head.........YA OLD HAG!!!!" Mint yelled, jumping up as if she just tripped and using an unkwown magic on Belle that no one had ever seen.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Belle screamed as she went levitating off the ground and toward the ceiling. Just inches away from the impact, Belle stopped, frozen in the air, then let out another horrifying scream as she went back towards the marble floor.
"MILADY!!!!!!!" Duke yelled, looking up at Belle through horror filled eyes, running under her so he could catch her.
Belle stopped about 7 feet from Duke's grasp, floating in mid air, but didn't stop screaming and started beating her head, yelling things like 'MAKE IT STOP!!!' and ' ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!'.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?!?!" Duke yelled, running over to a now laughing Mint.
"HAHAHA! She's just seeing things she doesn't want to see! No real damage can be done! HAHAHA!" Mint yelled back, continueing her laughing statement.
"STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!" Duke said, pleading Mint to not make Belle suffer anymore.
Over by the 'audience'...
"How can Mint do such a thing to poor, (and I do mean poor,) Belle?!" Prima said, looking to his foster parents for an explanation.
"I don't no, but Mint seems pretty serious...in a humorous matter..." Klaus answered, wondering just as well what had come over Mint.
"MAMMA!!! MAKE MINT STOP!!!!!!!" a close to tears Elena whinned, running over to embrace her ever so comforting mother.
"Shh, it'll all be over Elena..." Mira said, although she doubted her own words.
Back to the action...
"PLEASE MINT!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Duke yelled as tears filled his eyes.
Mint stoped laughing and looked down to Duke, who was on hands and knees, begging for her to give mercy on Belle.
"...Fine. I've had my fun for the day..." Mint said, saying an unfamiliar word under her breathe, allowing Belle to gently glide down toward the now crying Duke. Turning around, Duke ran towards Belle so he could catch her, and did, cuddling her like a baby in his arms.
"Milady!" Duke said, lowering them both to the ground and nuzzling his head against her's.
"...D-duke...?" a weak sounding Belle mumbled out, turning her head so she faced the Duke with tears streaming down his cheeks, who raised his head so he could make sure Belle looked alright.
"Y-yes?! Are you alright Milady?!" Duke said, more tears of joy running down his cheeks.
"Y-ya...I think so..." Belle said, sitting up and rubbing her head.
"Oh Milady! I was so worried about you!" Duke said, hugging his companion. "You seemed as thought you
saw a ghost or went to Mel's atleir for the first time!"
"AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Belle screamed again, breaking Duke's embracement and putting her hands to her head.
"?! W-what's wrong?!?!" Duke said, trying to comfort Belle.
"...huff-huff...Duke?" Belle managed after a good 10 seconds passed.
Startled, Duke said, "Y-yes Milady?" Looking into his tear filled eyes, Belle began talking, slowly, but talking none the less.
"..........If you say HER name, one, more, time..........I'll go crazy...." Belle finished, taking in deep breathes of air.
Puzzled, Duke looked at Mint for an answer to Belle's crazy talk.
Sighing, Mint began to explain. "If you say the name that you spell M-E-L, Belle will surely go mad, since I made her imagine that she was a M-E-L styled Belle. It's a new type of magic that you can use to break your opponent's sanity, so you can beat them up without much trouble," Mint finished, sounding as if it weren't THAT important.
Lookings back down at Belle, Duke asked her a question. "M-milady? Is that what you saw?"
"....Exactly what I saw..." Belle mumbled, nodding slightly, trying to shake the memory from her mind.
"Oh...." Duke said, thinking of how Belle would look if she was dressed like Mel, in a horrorfying place like Mel's...
"...It's okay, just don't remind me..." Belle said, putting her arm around Duke's waist and nuzzling in his chest.
Surprised, and blushing out of control, Duke welcomed Belle into his arms, a small smile spreading upon his lips.
(...I've always wondered if she would do that...) Duke thought, closing his eyes, making a mental picture of that moment.
(...I've always wanted to do that...) Belle thought, tightening her grip on Duke as if he'd disappear if she let go of him.
"AHEM!" Mint said impatiently, tapping her foot while making Belle and Duke come away from their happy thoughts.
Helping each other up, (and blushing like red cherries,) Duke and Belle took their standing position about a foot away from one another, turning their heads away from the other.
"You guys can do lovey dovey stuff like that tonight!" Mint said, making them both dart their eyes at Mint, then at each other. "...By the way, where's Rod and Rue???" Mint asked.
"Rod went to get Rue. He said that he'd meet us here," Mira said, rubbing Elena's bubble gum colored hair, whispering 'It's okay now...' in her ear.
"Oh, so they should be here any minute...right?" Mint said, wondering if they were alright.
"Well, Rod said that Claire's cabin wasn't that far from here, so yes. They should be here shortly," Klaus concluded, giving Mint a reassuring smile.
"Okay. Well, since it's so late, we should all get something to eat and rest up! I'll explain what's going on tommorow," Mint said happily.
"Next time, don't be so sure to win..." Belle directed to Mint as they walked down the grand hallway.
