Chase and Stella finally reached their destination. A large, black castle loomed over them, sending evil vibes down Stella's soul. She wasn't afraid though. As long as chase was with her, she'd be fine. A moat divided the two and the castle apart.

"We'll have to sneak in. Don't use your powers unless it's absolutely necessary." Chase whispered. Stella nodded. Chase took a step back, and jumped over the moat. He grabbed a gray brick sticking out and looked over at Stella. She did the same thing. They both nodded and started climbing. Two guards met them as they made it to the top. A quick and silent kick in the back of the heads knocked them out cold.

"I should've brought the shroud of shadows." Stella muttered.

"No Wu. Use your martial art skills and magic to conceal yourself." He whispered. A doorway on the ground stopped them. Stella lifted the door to reveal more guards, who were all startled. Chase jumped in and defeated them one by one. He spotted one crawling away to a bullhorn on the wall, but he swooped over and broke the man's neck.

Stella gasped as she saw the whole thing, dropping down to the floor below to reach him.

"I thought we were here to stop Reiner! Not kill everyone !" She whispered harshly.

"Did you WANT that guy to sound the alarm?" He whispered back.

"No! But there's other ways besides KILLING!"

"I did what was necessary. Now let's go!" He snapped. He turned away from her and walked into a nearby corridor. Stella reluctantly followed.

The castle inside was in ruins. Cracks in the walls, cobwebs and dust filled the halls. Vases were displayed with dead flowers and more dust filling them up. The once beautiful red rug they were walking on was soiled beyond recognition. Stella shuddered at the despair the castles integrity was in.

They were walking for quite awhile when Stella stopped Chase in his tracks and pulled him into a nearby crevice in the wall. Chase was about to question her, when two shirtless burly came walking by, grunting with every step like pigs. In their belts held giant medieval axes and maces, one good hit and its game over.

Chase watched them intently as they walked by. Once they were out of sight they started to wiggle out at the same time. They couldn't.

"One at a time." Chase whispered. He was about to give her a look of anger when he noticed how close they actually were. Her chest laid against his, revealing some cleavage in her collard crop top. He started to blush a bit before grabbing her waist and pushing her out.

Stella grunted, falling onto the dirty carpet, giving him an angry glare. It didn't phase him. He walked ahead of her down the hallway, with her catching up. Two more hallways appeared and had chase puzzled.

"Left. " he muttered. They walked down into the growing darker hallway. A single torch on the wall emitted light into the darkness.

"This doesn't seem right." Stella whispered.

"He probably doesn't come down this way often, hence the lack of light. Don't worry." He grabbed her hand and led her down. His reptilian eyes were allowing him to see in the dark. Nothing suspicious ran across his line of sight.

They reached the end and he let go of her hand for a second to peek over. There were more guards standing around a massive door.

"Ok, we'll defeat them on three. Ready Stella ?" He asked. He heard nothing.

"Stella?" Again nothing. He turned to see that she had vanished. His eyes widened as he caught a glimpse of her hair whipped into a crevice in the wall. He ran to get her when he felt a thud on the back of his head. He went down hard and the last thing he saw was a pair of boots in front him, then laughter, then darkness.
