Reid rode in Caleb's car to the Putnam Barn, where Anne and Chase would be. What was Chase doing with Anne? It was about him, Caleb, and Chase, why is he dragging Anne into this?
"Nervous?" Caleb asked loking over at him for a second.
"No. Scared...For Anne. What if he hurts her?", Reid asked him, "what if he does something that causes a chain reaction and she dies? What if I never get to see her again?...What if we lose?" Reid asked, tears welling up in his eyes.
"He won't" Caleb said.
"How do you know?", Reid asked him.
"Because you'll be there to stop him, and I'll be there with you" he said to him, giving him a small proud grin.
They arrived at the Putnam barn, and stepped out. When they came inside, he saw Anne. Only not the green dress she had before, but now a flowing white gown, and a vail over her face. She was floating above in the air.
"Anne!" Reid said as he rushed to her.
"She's not dead Reid, she's been put to sleep. Chase's is up to something completely different", Caleb told him, looking around alert.
"That's what you think!" a voice called out, and Chase came floating down to the gracefully. "I'm so glad you two could make it" he said with a smile as he landed in front of them.
"Make it for what?", Caleb asked.
"My wedding. It's my special day. Well," he gave a small laugh, "it's more of Anne's day than mine. She's the bride" He looked over at Reid. "Once I get Anne's heart from you, she'll be completely in love with me. Then, I'll marry her, which is the ultimate binding. Meaning, when I marry her, she'll do whatever, and I mean whatever", Chase said a hint of lust in his voice towards Reid, "I want her to".
"No! I won't let you!", Reid called out.
Chase walked over to Anne and admired her, "she does look beautiful, doesn't she Reid? Like an angel. Too bad you never got the chance to know what it's like to um..." he coughed. \
Caleb smirked, "actually he does".
"What?" Chase turned to his suddenly.
"What? How did you-" Reid began, but paused.
"He has been with her. So, that means she won't be completely under your spell, since she knows what it's like to be with another man. It never works that way", Caleb said. "Also, I don't think you know this, but has she acted different today? More talkative and loving to you?" he asked.
"Yeah, so what? She loves me" Chase said.
"No, she doesn't. Loves spells are tricky that way. They make you seem like you in love, when you really aren't. Magic can imitate real love" Caleb told him.
"Wha- So, you're telling me, she won't really love me?", Chase said sounding angry.
"Yes. The spell will wear off in-" he checked his watch, "a few minutes".
"NO!" Chase yelled in anger, and moved his hand over the orb in which Anne was in. Anne floated back down to the ground.
"Where am I?" she asked, looking around.
"Darling.." Chase tried not to seem angry, "tell these two fools that you love me". He told her, but it sounded more like a command.
"Ummmm, I-I-I-" Anne looked over at Reid. He could tell she couldn't.
"Tell them!" he yelled at her.
Anne looked back at him, "no Chase, I don't love you".
Chase yelled in anger and pain, and turned to Reid. "You turned her against me! Just like Orville did to John!". He flew to Reid and knocked him down.
"Reid!", Anne called.
Chase got ontop of Reid and put his hands to Reid throat. Then Caleb came in, and made him slam into a nearby wall.
Anne watched the battle go on, and Reid kept getting hurt. Then Chase did something to Reid, that made him weak. Anne watched Reid helpless on the floor, and Chase had already tooken out Caleb.
Chase stood over Reid, "now say it!...I"
"I-" Reid repeated.
"Will you-" Chase said.
Reid repeated, "will you-"
"Her love" Chase said.
Reid gave him an angry look, "NOTHING!", and pushed Chase off of him.
Chase flew to the other wall, but instead of getting him back, he grabbed Anne's arm.
"I guess I'll have to do this the hard way" he gritted through his teeth and pulled her outside. Then he forced her to kneel on the ground in front of him and he grapsed both her wrists.
Reid was nearly dead on the floor, but he saw what Chase was doing. He was gonna marry them anyway, meaning he would never have Anne again. He couldn't let that happen. He struggled to get up, but couldn't. Anne was crying, and calling his name, while Chase said the enchantment.
"No!"
"Reid!" she called, "Please, Reid!"
"Tie her to me, lace her tight, make her our hearts fit right" Chase recited.
"NO!".
Suddenly Caleb came out of nowhere flying and knocking him down. Reid watched Anne fall back, he heard hitting something hard and knocking her out. He ran to her...
He hoped she was alright...
