L,O. I hope you guys all like this chapter. I kinda like writing stories with myths in them. This one has one that comes true. Although the story behind this myth is kinda sad, and the story of its origin is too. You have to feel bad for the victims and the original story. I still hope you all enjoy it. Please, please, please review! I'm going through a tough time. I had worked about 70 hours on a really important project, and now, it's at the dump. I was really, really upset so to get my mind off of it, and stop me for going on a psychotic killing spree on my own family, and anyone that dares to get in my way, I wrote this chapter. This will be dedicated to my 70 hour project. The script, the character sketches, the scenery, and all the info. So please review, and I hope you enjoy this chapter.
--------------------------
A long time ago there was a myth, this myth was of a man who hunted wicens. He did not hunt them to kill them, he hunted them for another reason...
It had been years since he had used the crystal sword . Nearly 2000 years. Ever since he himself was hunted. He had to go into hiding in order to escape the one person strong enough to defeat him. His plans were cut short, knowing he couldn't hunt anymore. The wicens had all joined together, forming their own village. If he hunted one of them, he would surely know. He had to put his sword down, in order to have any hopes of raising it again. Then something happened, something he hadn't noticed, nor expected. The sword was activating. The pinkish crystal on the very end of the golden handled sword was glowing. He stopped in his tracks and looked at it. 'It hasn't activated for 1500 years.' He thought. After all, the wicens had completely dropped out of the world for that long. The crystal sword had last activated 1500 years ago, but he still couldn't hunt any of them. Now, 1500 years later, it activated. He decided to use the sword and follow where it would lead him. After all, everyone was curious as to what happened to the wicens.
------------------------
"Alright, Woohoo, You go girl, Yes!" Those were the cheers shouted by the monks as Elektra won the showdown, her prize, the shen gong wu. They left the clearing and began walking through the woods, heading to the Silver Manta Ray. They weren't able to search for the wu the way they usually do, seeing how their main transportation was grounded due to a certain dragon eating them out of any food with more than 30 grams of sugar.
"Um...does anyone remember where we parked?" Rai asked.
"I thought it was around here somewhere." Replied Kimiko.
"So did I partner." Replied Clay.
"This is most confusing." Omi said.
"Hey, how about we all split up and look for it. When we find it we'll call for the others." Elektra said.
They all agreed and split up in 5 directions.
As each of the original 4 monks searched high and low for some reason they couldn't help but feel someone was either following or watching them. Elektra was the one who found the Silver Manta Ray as well as the grounded dragon inside.
"Hey Dojo, how do you feel?" She asked.
"WAH! Oh, Elektra. Sorry. Didn't expect you to just come out of nowhere. Like those butlers, they always pop put of the blue when you least expect them, and you don't even hear them!"
"I didn't mean to scare you. We just got a little lost and decided to split up to find the Silver Manta ray. I figured I'd use the Thorn of Thunderbolts to signal them here."
"Good idea. We can get out of here quicker."
"Thorn of Thunderbol..." She stopped.
"What's wrong?" Dojo asked, noticing her stop suddenly.
"I just felt something weird." Elektra replied.
"Yeah, do you ever get the feeling...that you're being watched?"
There was a rustling in the bushes and Elektra turned around, while Dojo started shaking. A man walked through the bush, holding a sword in its sheath outward, so the handle with the odd looking crystal pointed away from him. He averted his eyes from the crystal and looked up directly at her.
Dojo whispered to her, "Who is that?"
"I don't know." She replied.
"Tell me young maiden, are you that of a wicen?" The man asked.
"Uh...yes." She said.
"Tell me then young wicen, where is your clan?" He asked.
"Uh...I don't know." Elektra replied.
"So it's true, the wicens are still gone. You must be the last of their race."
"I don't know." Elektra said. "Who are you?"
"I...am yours." He said.
"Ooookkkkaaaayyyy." Dojo said, whispering, "I think this guy is..." he held up a sign with the picture of a screw, and right next to it a baseball.
"Ah!" He kneeled down on his left knee and took her hand. "Young Wicen, I have searched for the past 1500 years for you. Where have you been my angel? Heaven must have been the only thing keeping me from finding you."
Elektra turned her head to the side and whispered to Dojo. "I don't think that sign even begins to cover it."
"My precious flower, I am yours forever. My only wish is to show you pleasure."
Dojo began to say something, but stopped.
"Uuhh...yeah well, I have to go right now..." She quickly jumped into the Silver Manta Ray, and flew off.
Luckily the four monks ran into eachother, making it easier for Elektra to find them.
"Thank goodness you have found us all at one time my friend, it will give us more time to return to the temple and out the hang." Omi said.
"Hang out." Rai corrected him.
"I'll just be happy to get out of these woods." Elektra replied.
"You got that right, especially after earlier." Dojo shuddered.
"Why? What happened earlier partners?" Clay asked.
"You want me to get the sign?" Dojo asked Elektra.
"No. There was just this really weird guy." She replied.
Dojo swirled a claw around the side of his head signaling, 'nutcase.'
They got back to the temple and hung out for a bit before heading to bed.
They were each in their little 'cubby's' sleeping soundly, on their mats in the middle of the night. It was silent, and dark, and no one was suppose to be in the hallways. Key words, 'suppose to be.' A shadow moved through the hallways of the temple, as well as a light coming from a crystal at the end of a sword handle. It was the man from the woods. He let the crystal guide him to what he desired. It had led him to a cubby with the young wicen. The crystal stopped glowing the minute he saw her laying on the mat peacefully on her side, gripping the sheet. He put the sword on the strap at his side, and kneeled down next to her. He stroked her cheek and she stirred a bit. "Soon my dear, you will be all mine, and you will help me make my dreams come true." He whispered softly to her.
He stood up, sensing another presence. He walked out of the cubby, down the hallways, and outside to where the shen gong wu vault was. There, a boy walked out with a full bag.
"Ahem." The man said.
The boy turned around, startled, and looked at the man. "Who are you?"
"What are you doing here?" He asked sternly.
"Look buddy, I got here first, the wu is mine!" Jack shouted.
"Does this 'wu' belong to the occupants of this temple?" He asked.
"It belongs to the xiaolin losers, so yeah, but now it belongs to me, Jack Spicer!"
"Well, if you're stealing from the wicen that lives here, you're stealing from me. I don't like it when people steal from me, in that case..." He took the sword out of its sheath and pointed it at him, ..."I'll have to get rid of you."
"AH! The wu's yours! Take it but please don't hurt me! Ah!" He dropped the bag and ran for a distance, then flew off using his helebot. The man returned the sword to its sheath and put the bag back into the vault, and left.
The next morning, everyone woke up and noticed that the door to the vault was open, and a bag of shen gong wu was on the ground. Nothing was taken, so they searched for an intruder and found nothing.
"This is most peculiar." Omi said, scratching his head.
"No stolen wu, no evil do er." Rai replied.
"I don't get it, why would someone bag the wu but not take it?" Kimiko asked.
"Something just don't seem right." Clay added.
"Yeah, it is confusing." Replied Elektra.
Dojo came into the vault. "Come on everyone, a shen gong wu just revealed itself!"
They all flew to the nearest shen gong wu, which happened to be in the Mediterranean in a highly flourished place.
Omi shouted as they cleared through the bushes of flowers. "There it is!"
"Sorry cheese ball, the wu's mine." Jack said, as he hovered down to it.
"Actually it's ours." Wuya said as her and Hannibal bean appeared.
"Let me guess, you're gonna join in too?" Rai asked, noticing Chase.
"No interest, just thought it would be fun to see you all battle it out." He replied.
They all began fighting for it, fists flying, hair being pulled, occasional girly scream, a cloud of dust had surrounded them as they fought eachother.
"Hey! Where'd the wu go?" Everyone stopped fighting and noticed the wu was gone. They instantly started looking around for it."
"Ahem, I believe this is what you are all looking for?" There was a man wearing long black pants that were tucked into knee high black boots, and a loose fitting long sleeved white shirt, as well as a red cape, and a light creme colored hat with a purple feather sticking out of the side. The only weapon he had was an odd looking sword strapped to his side, the golden handle and an odd pinkish crystal at the very end of the handle showing. They all stopped searching and looked at him, noticing the shen gong wu in his hand.
"Oh no! you're that guy from last night!" Jack shouted. He hid behind Wuya, being the closest person to him. "Why? What happened last night?" Wuya asked, pushing him away.
"I went to steal the wu from them, and he threatened to kill me with his sword!" He cried.
He walked over to Elektra and kneeled on the ground, taking her hand. "My precious angel of heaven, I shall give you this...thing...seeing how you want it so much." He handed it to her.
"Uh...thank you?" She handed it to Omi.
"I would also like to give you this rose as a symbol, for its redness is the color of my eternal love for you." He handed her the rose.
"Uh huh..."
"And now my love, I ask for your hand in marriage, for you to be mine for the rest of eternity...my dear, will you marry me?" ((Hear record stop))
Dojo was crying in the back, holding a tissue. "This is so beautiful, I love weddings...wait, WHAT?"
Everyone looked slack-jawed at the two of them.
Chase, who had his arms crossed against his chest, now stood there with his mouth open and his arms hanging limply at his sides.
"That's all I needed to do to go out with you?" Jack shouted.
Elektra stood there with a bewildered expression on her face, and her mouth open. "Excuse me?...What did you say?"
"If you'll have me I'm yours." The man replied. Pure, absolute silence followed.
"Uhh...no." She said. "No...of course not!...are you crazy?"
"I'm sorry you feel that way. Unfortunately, you don't have much of a choice." He took the sword and sheath, holding the crystal handle out to her as it glowed. "You're the last of your race and this hasn't activated for 1500 years. I've waited 2000 years, and now you're the one who's going to make my dreams come true." Elektra pulled her hand out of his grasp and took her swords, pointing them at him.
"Oh no, this is too perfect." He said, while standing up and looking at her swords.
"What?" She asked, not taking her eyes off of him.
"The swords of the Great Banisher. HAHAHA!" He laughed.
"I don't understand..." Elektra said, confused.
"Well, I'm going to be marrying the granddaughter of my worst enemy. This couldn't get any better." He said.
"I don't think so." She ran at him and started fighting him. She went to slam both swords down at him, but he put his sword up, blocking hers.
"You're quite good for afemale duelist. You have the Banishers strength."
"I have more than just strength." They continued fighting.
"I know you don't care if you hurt yourself in fighting me, but what if a few friends get hurt?" He asked, looking at the monks.
"You wouldn't dare."
"I would." A bunch of snakes came out of nowhere, and wrapped around them, making them fall to the ground. Elektra turned away from him and the minute she did, she was struck in the back of her head, knocking her out. He held her, around her waist with his left arm as she hung lifelessly at his left side. "Young people today." The snakes disappeared and he swung his cape infront of him and they vanished.
The monks sat up and looked around.
"Where'd they go?" Rai asked.
"Yeah partner?" Clay asked.
"This is most troubling." Omi added.
"Where's Elektra?" Kimiko asked, clearly worried.
-----------------------
Chase had instantly left the minute both of them disappeared. He went to the one place he knew that could possibly have what he was looking for. He went to the wicen village, and into one of the temple rooms. There, were shelves upon shelves of books and scrolls. He searched through them until he found what he was looking for. He really wasn't happy with what he found. He left the village and went to look for Elektra, knowing she would be near, past the dark forest since even though it was considered still part of the forest, it was a cliff where a castle should be right on the edge. That's where he would find her.
-------------------------
Elektra began to become consious, and opened her eyes, allowing them to adjust to the darkness besides the candle on a small wooden table. She was in a small room with no windows, a wooden table with chairs, a small bed, and of course, the candle. She stood up and the door opened with an unexpected visitor. Jack Spicer. The door slammed shut.
"Jack? What the heck are you doing here?" She asked.
"Trying to join forces with that guy is impossible! He just threw me right in here!" He shouted.
"Any idea how to get out?"
"Wait...hold on." He tried to open the locked door with no luck. "Ok, I'm out of ideas."
Elektra reached for her swords and noticed they weren't there. "ARGH! He took my swords."
"Wait...Hey Jack, do you want to play a really fun game with me?" Elektra asked.
"Ok sure, what game?" He asked.
---------------------------
Chase had finally managed to find and sneak into the castle and instantly ran through the hallways looking behind every door for Elektra. He came across one that wouldn't open. He rammed into it, making it fall off its' hinges and onto the floor. He looked into the room and saw a heap on the ground, covered in a blanket right next to a small table with some chairs. He ran over to the heap, knowing who it was. He carefully picked up the heap that was covered and hugged it tightly against his chest, resting his head on the it.
"Oh dear god! Elektra, what has he done to you? If only I had gotten here sooner I could've prevented this. I'm so sorry, will you ever forgive me?" He said, cuddling the body.
It began to stir and the face of his angel showed.
His...angel...? "AH!" He dropped the body onto the ground, hearing it moan. "What on earth are you doing here?" Chase shouted in relief of it not being Elektra, but pure hatred and disgust of it being Jack Spicer.
"I tried to get on the guys good side and it didn't work. He put me in here with Elektra, OW!" He mumbled, while lying on the ground with a bump oh his head.
"Where's Elektra?" He asked.
"I don't know." He replied.
"What was the last thing you remember?" He asked both angry and annoyed.
Jack stood up and sat in the seat of the table against the wall.
"The last thing I remember?...Uh...Elektra said we were going to play a really fun game and then I looked down and...YAHTZEE!" He stood up and jumped out of the chair and hit his head against a metal shelf, and fell in a heap on the ground.
"So that's why you were unconsious." Chase said, looking at him. 'She escaped.' He thought.
It's true, Elektra had managed to escape and after setting up the 'harmless' game, Jack had hurt himself and she simply covered him with the blanket from the bed, figuring if anyone came they really wouldn't bother entering, thinking she was still unconsious.
She slowed down to a stop and sat on a rock, thinking of a plan. He would eventually figure out she escaped, then he would come after her. Not to mention the fact the HE had her weapons. She would most likely have to face him again. That would have to wait though, she was in some pain from the fight and would need full recovery. Then she thought. Her friends. What had happened to them? Were they alright? She stood up and ran back to the temple.
She had reached the temple but noticing it was night, the door was closed. She walked to the side of the temple and jumped the wall. She landed on the opposite side and looked around. Majority of the lights were out except for about one or two. She started taking a few steps toward the temple, then was stopped by two powerful hands, one around her waist and the other clasped over her mouth. She was being dragged behind a tree and some bushes. She kicked and thrashed around furiously, having no luck. Finally she was turned to face her attacker.
"C-Chase? What are you doing here?"
"I went to find you and saw you escaped so I figured you came back here."
"Yeah, you didn't have to scare me like that though."
"Sorry, but you have to come with me. I have to show you something important."
"What? Why?"
"Elektra please, just trust me."
"...Alright, let's go." He brought her to the wicen village.
Rai had been sitting by the sliding door with the light on. He had opened it a bit, when he saw something jump over the wall and realized it was Elektra, then he saw Chase grab her and leave somewhere. He ran to everyone else and told them what he saw so they all tried to follow wherever they were heading.
---------------------
"We're at the old village." Elektra said, an expression of slight sorrow.
"Follow me, you have to see something." He led her to one of the temple rooms and grabbed a scroll and read it aloud.
"Out of everything wicens have faced, the men of our clan have feared one thing the most for our sisters and our daughters. A man who has hunted them for years. Although he has not killed any of them, he has tried to force them into a binding that would be most devastating for us all. We know not the name of this monster, only that the myth has called him, 'The Bride Finder."
"Oh my god, I remember hearing this myth a long time ago. But, I thought it wasn't real."
"Wait Elektra, there's more." He put the scroll down and grabbed a book. "Your grandfather wrote about this in this book." He opened to the page, and turned to a page, reading:
"I have come face to face with the monster that has frightened us so, he was planning on capturing a young one in the field. He had got as far as luring her into the forest. Using my powers I convinced him to leave our family alone. He uses a crystal sword to hunt, and if one is captured and taken prisoner...I fear for them as well as all of us. He would stop at nothing to get his hands on our power. Many have feared for their young daughters and sisters. I fear for all the young ones. I do not want my children or their childrens children, to live in fear, always being hunted. My family must fear the most. Having my power, and becoming one with this family, would make him unbelievably strong. Although he can only gain this power through binding, his abilities alone would destroy us. He has powers of illusion, and by binding he is the only man who can receive our power. I pray that he will heed my warning, and leave us be."
"He really feared for us. He wanted us to all stay protected and safe." Elektra said.
"The Bride Finder is hunting for his bride, you're the one he wants. You're the last of them" He said to her.
"I can't let him get me. If I do, all that my grandfather fought for will be for nothing."
"Don't worry. I won't let him have you. You'll be safe at my lair."
"...Alright." She said, thinking about it. They walked out of the temple. The minute they set foot outside, Chase was attacked by the 4 monks.
"What are you doing?" Elektra yelled.
"I saw him kidnap you, so we followed you both." Rai said, his hands around Chases throat.
"He didn't kidnap me!"
"...He didn't?" Omi asked, confused.
"No!"
"Alright, care to explain partner?" Clay asked.
"He was just showing me who that psycho path is!"
"That weird guy from earlier?" Kimiko asked.
"Yes!" They all slowly got off of him, Chase glared at them.
"I expected you to come back to this old place." Came a voice from behind them.
"You have no right coming here!" Elektra yelled.
"Oh but I do, I'm here for my bride." He said.
"When are you going to understand that no is no?" Chase asked.
"It's not your place to say anything. The wicen is coming with me." He said dangerously.
"You're not taking Elektra." He said back.
"Always choosing the hard way." He took out his sword and they all started fighting. He disappeared and appeared behind Elektra. "You see this? This is mine, you can't have her!"
"Get away from me you creep!" She yelled.
He grabbed her. "Let's keep this traditional, here's your wedding 'ring." He took out a thick gold V shaped choker necklace and opened it, clasping it around her neck. A heart shaped lock formed at the point of the V. She pulled away from him and tried to pull it off, without any luck.
"Sorry sweetie, that ring's binding AND permanent."
They all ran at him, for a head-on attack and failed. He disappeared at the last minute and they all went on a head-on collision with eachother.
"Elektra, run! Don't let him catch you!" Chase yelled.
She did as he said and ran into the dark forest.
The man reappeared. "Oh well, this will only make the hunt that much more fun."
Chase stood up and ran into the forest, looking for her. She was running as fast as she could, suddenly something grabbed her from behind, it was a...tree? A tree had extended its branches and tried to grab her. She broke away from it and tried to fight back. By that time, Chase had caught up with her and tried to fight it as well. The tree bent foward and slammed down, trying to crush him. It failed and straightened, then twisted and a huge limb crashed into Elektra and sent her downward, into the small pool of water 3 feet deep. She started to stand up, but was pulled down by the water. It had turned a dark blue, and then a slimy black, until it managed to fully pull her under. Chase jumped into the water and got down on his knees, searching the water for her. It had returned to normal, being a clear blue, but Elektra had disappeared.
-----------------------------
Chase had gone back to his lair, to figure out how that had happened, the tree, and the water. Also, to think of a plan.
"Hey Chasey!" Came the voice of his consious, Sasha.
"What do you want Sasha?" He asked, annoyed.
"You seem confuzzled. REALLY confuzzled."
"...Ok, I guess."
"Oh...hold on." She had been listening to her ipod and her favorite song from Panic! At The Disco was about to start.
"I don't know what to do right now." He said.
"Sit tight I'm going to need you to keep time, come on just snap those fingers for me."
"I need to find Elektra." He said, thinking of how to.
"Good good now we're making some progress come on just tap those toes to the beat." She sang.
"Argh! What am I going to do? I told her she'd be safe!" He yelled.
"I believe this may call for a proper introduction."
"Oh, he calls himself The Bride Finder. He's been hunting wicens to marry them and Elektra's the one he wants." Chase replied.
"Don't you see? I am the narrator, and this just the prologue."
"I don't have time to explain the whole story, And I'M the one telling it!" He shouted.
"Swear we'll shake it up if you swear to listen."
"Wha?"
"Oh we're still so young but desperate for attention."
"I AM NOT DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION!" He yelled.
"And I aim to be your eyes heart & mind."
"Excuse me?"
"Trophey boys, trophey wives, this time it's time."
"...What on earth are you talking about...SASHA!"
"Woah! What do you want dude?" She yelled, putting her ipod down.
"I have to figure out a plan and you're speaking nonsense!"
"Right...what plan again?"
"I have to stop The Bride Finder from marrying Elektra!"
"OH! A wedding? I love weddings! Will you bring be back a piece of cake, oh, And maybe even one of those platters with the little cocktail weenies and some tiny nuts?...wow...that didn't sound right...oh! If they have gift bags, bring me one of those too. The really fancy and pricey weddings actually give out free small plasma screen tv's and cell phones."
"You're not helping!"
"Well, go crash the wedding, just don't ruin the cake or gift bags."
"You're right, plan or not, I have to stop him." He headed to the door.
"My god. He's an idiot sometimes. I don't even know what he was talking about."
------------------------------
Elektra opened her eyes, and sat up. She was on a bed, but had no clue where though. She stood up andfaced the mirror of a dresser. She looked in the mirror, and the 'ring' was gone.Elektra walked out of the room, the door actually unlocked, and she wandered the hallways. She opened a door and realized she was right where she started. "Huh?" She went back out and went in a different direction. There were stairs, and she went up them. The minute she stepped on the top, she was back in the room. "WHAT?" She took another direction, running now, and stopped in what looked like a grand hall. There was music coming from behind one of the double doors on the side.Elektrawalked over to it, but stopped midway, feeling something almost choking her. She continued walking and opened the doors. It was...a party? There were people in the golden room, wearing dresses and suits. It almost looked like a masquerade ball, sorta. Except not everyone was wearing masks. She held onto the side of the door, as the choking feeling returned and she began to feel really tired and dizzy. Her eyes closed.
When she opened them, she felt...funny. Something was swinging her around. She opened her eyes and saw people dancing.Elektra looked infront of her, and saw she was dancing with someone wearing a dark, dark blue outfit and had some gold horizontal lines on the shirt, as well as a matching cape. He had dark brown brown curly hair that went about 2 inches past his shoulders, tied in a low ponytail. He also wore a dark blue mask against a black one, over the top half of his face. She was wearing a black off the shoulder, short sleeved dress. The actual skirt of the dress had a white layer, that only showed at the bottom, and a triangle in the center. Majority of it was covered by a black layer. Her hair was held in a bun in the back with some of it hanging out freely from the bun. She also had a light goldish brown butterfly clip in her hair that had 5 long matching colored feathers coming out from it.
"Enjoying your party?" The man asked, dancing with her.
She recognized the voice. "You? What happened, what's going on?"
"You almost missed the celebration. I thought it would be nice to have a party before our wedding." He replied.
"You're still going on about that? Look, it's not going to happen!"
"I think it is. That ring binds you to me." He said.
"What ring?" She didn't see any ring, then she looked down. The gold thing around her neck WAS still there. It vanished the minute she noticed it.
"Illusions, one of my strong points. "
"You won't get away with this."
"But I already have. You're mine." He whispered in her ear.
"NO!" She pulled away from him and ran through the doors. There was the exit, she could see through the windows that those doors led outside. She flung them open and took a step outside. She was fine, until she went to step on ground. She fell through the darkness and landed back in that room on the bed. The ring started choking her again and pulled her so she sat against the headboard. The man walked in and sat on the side of the bed.
"There's no point in trying to escape." He said. She couldn't even look at him.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to living like this." He got on top of her and whispered in her ear. "Mine."
"...Yours."Elektra said lifelessly.
He brought his face close enough, where his lips brushed slightly against hers. "Good." He got off of her and headed to the door. "I can't wait for our wedding night, tonight." He left.
'That's not going to happen.' She thought to herself.
----------------------------------
People were sitting in the pews, waiting for one thing. The groom stood at the alter, infront of the minister, awaiting his bride. The music began to play, and the doors at the end of the room opened, a young girl wearing a white and lightish blue wedding dress stood. The end of the dress and the long vail trailed behind her. She had a bouquet of flowers and wore a solemn look on her face, her eyes closed, as she walked down the long hallway. She reached the 3 stairs, stepping up, next to the groom.
"Dearly beloved, and illusions, we are gathered here to unite this man and this wicen in an eternal binding of holy matrimony." Began the minister. "Your vows please."
The groom began. "With this hand, I will lift your sorrows, your cup shall never empty, for I shall be your wine. "
It was the brides turn. "With this hand, I will lift your sorrows."
He took a candle, lighting his, and put his next to hers, before lighting the other. "With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine."
She put her hand out, he was prepared with the ring. "With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty for I...will kick your sorry butt!" She took her swords out from behind her, and aimed them at him.
"You really think you can stop me? I have the better advantage over you!"
She dangled a key next to her sword. "You shouldn't have gotten that close to me. I figured you would have it on you, considering it was in your pocket." It was the key that unhooked the ring.
"Why you little..."
"Oh, you really thought I'd give up that easily? There's more, I know how to..."
"I OBJECT!" Chase ran in through the doors. Note to self: Next time Sasha says to wait till the I do's then say I object, don't listen. First of all, you might be a little late for it. and Secondly, they might not even do I do's like in this case.
"A little late for the wedding, but not for the fight." All three began fighting, and then Elektra suddenly dropped out and ran behind the minister, pulling down a red curtain. A mirror stood there. "Found it." She went back to fighting, signaling to get him infront of the mirror. They took the fight right up to the mirror. Chase fought him while Elektra took a dive for his sword, grabbing it. She held it up. "This is for my family!" She thrust it down at him and Chase kicked him, making him face the mirror. "NO!"
"You like using mirrors for illusions? How 'bout you stay in one!" He began fading away into dust, the mirror becoming a portrait of him holding the sword.
"How did you know what to do?" Chase asked, turning to her.
"My grandfather. I remembered the story he told me a long time ago. He had said the mirror of illusion hidden behind the crimson curtain was an inside to the man's soul. Looking at himself in the mirror of illusion, would capture him forever."
They exited the castle together.
"I'm sorry I couldn't keep you safe, even when I said I would."
"It's alright. I can handle myself." Elektra replied. She walked over to the edge of the cliff and threw the bouquet and the key into the water below.
"I know you can." He said, walking next to her.
"Yeah, but i guess sometimes it's ok for a little help." She leaned closer to him and put her arms around his neck, giving him a peck on the cheek.
"A little?" He said, picking her up and spinning her around.
"Yeah, a little. You were late with the 'I object,' afterall." She hugged him. "But thanks for coming to try and help." He embraced her.

Jack became consious. "Woah, what happened? OW! My head." He walked over to the door and tried pulling it open. "Hello? Is anybody out there?" He started pounding his fists on the door. "Somebody please help me! I hate small, dark places! HELP!" He sat down in the chair at the table and rubbed his head, then looked down. "YAHTZEE!"

Well, I have to say, this is my longest chapter yet. I actually enjoyed this as one of my favorites. Although, fluffy stuff is what I hate. Still, I thought the plot was good. I'm still debating on whether I should do "Night of the Werewolves" first or, "A Plan and a Saviour." NOTW will be a bit on the dark side with a possibility of 'bad' things happening. APAAS will be very, very, sad for those of you who are really big fans of a certain character (cough,cough, dragon dude.) in the beginning, followed by most likely fluff, possibly alot. If you want to tell me which one you guys want go head, you don't have to but if I get alot of people wanting one or the other first, I'll go with whichever one majority wants. Ok, I hope you enjoyed it and please review on your way out. Bye!
