Chase jolted awake. He looked around and he had appeared to be chained up in a dungeon. He struggled to get out of the hold, but for some reason couldn't. He tried transforming, but a shock went through his body. He screamed in pain and sank down to the dirty floor.
"Had them specially made for the likes of you." a voice said
"Hello, Reiner." Chase muttered.
"Aw So sweet. You remember me." He said, revealing himself from the shadows. He was a tall, muscular man. Orange balding hair draped over his shoulders and his jaw was out of place. He has a crazed look in his dark eyes.
"So glad you decided to drop by. Too bad I'm busy at the moment. " he laughed a crazy laugh, and shot out a blast of green fire at chases chest. It didn't phase him. He looked around and realized Stella wasn't with him still.
"Looking for your girlfriend? We've had a fun time, me and her. You actually have good taste." He chuckled again.
"Where is She !?"
"You'll see her when I'm done with her." He laughed again
Chase started scrambling in his chains.
"I swear, Reiner if you TOUCH her i will make your life miserable."
"Too late. Come at me, lizard boy. Oh wait. You can't!" He laughed once more and used magic to unlock the cell door. Two burly men came at reiners side.
"Take him to the court room." He ordered as he walked out. The guards did what they were told. They took the chains out from the wall and dragged chase out. They reached the courtroom. Red velvet carpets were cleaned and pressed. Red with Golden trimmed curtains were tucked away neatly, letting in the light into what seems to be the only clean room in the castle. A red throne was sitting at the end of the room, where Reiner was sitting, smiling evilly at him.
"Where is Stella ?!" Chase Yelled
"Bring the girl in." Reiner said, not looking away from Chase's glance.
Two more guards came in. Stella was bruised and ruffled up. Her shirt wasn't there anymore. Just her bra and shorts. Her skin was a gray hue from the dark magic Reiner used on her.
Chase's eyes widen as he started to panic. "STELLA!" He screamed as he tried to get out of his hold.
She slowly looked up. "Chase!" She started crying at the sight of him.
"Quiet down!" Reiner Said, blasting him with another heavy dose of magic. Chase sunk down. Reiner smiled, getting up to walk over to the fairy.
"So. The real princess of Solaria has come to earth. " he started. "I knew your father. Thank god you don't look like him. Your mother was always the looker out of the two. Now..." he kept saying, walking past Chase.
"Reiner No! " he yelled through the pain.
"What else should i do with you? " he lifted her chin gently. She groaned in pain.
"I already had the guards ruffle you up a bit. But a beauty like you shouldn't be around these ugly mugs. " his guards grunted angrily.
Reiner took a strand of hair and sniffed it. His grin grew bigger and bigger. "I wonder how you taste..." he muttered as he lowered a bra strap. Stella moved away from him. Reiner grew angry at this and slapped her hard. She flew back and stayed on the ground.
Chase had enough. His eyes were twitching from pure rage. "ILL KILL YOU!" He screamed as he kicked the guards and ran to Reiner, chained up and all. He got a good hit to the head, but it wasn't enough to subdue Reiner. He started to glow a green hue. Reiner grabbed chase by the neck and lifted up. Chase was choking and getting burned by the green magic emitted from Reiner.
"Dont interrupt me, LIZARD!" He growled. He head butted him, with his magic combined made Chase nearly pass out from pain. He tried to sit up but the guards were already pinning him down.
Stella finally looked up. The sight of chase caused her to panic.
"CHASE!" She stood up and ran to the guards. A swift kick threw one guard off balanced and Stella lifted the other one and tossed him to the side. She was helping chase get up, when she was caught in a beam of magic, paralyzing her in its dark hold. Reiner lifted her up and brought her closer.
"Aw you care so much for this worthless lizard. Guess there's only one thing to do." He squeezes his hand to tighten the grip he had on Stella. "Kill him." He ordered, in a cold, heartless tone.
"NO!" Stella yelled. She watched in horror as the guard Stella kicked begrudgingly got up, and reached for be ax in his belt. The other guard sat Chase up so his neck can hit the blade gently.
"No no no no no! Chase!" She cried, tears coming down more than ever.
"It's okay, Stella. Don't worry." Chase said calmly.
"Go ahead and kill him. I'm tired of his nonsense." Reiner yawned.
Stella couldn't take it. The fear of losing Chase overpowered everything else she was worried about. Training, enchantix, being good enough for the monks, it didn't matter. Chase was the only person she cared about, and she wasn't about to let him go. She felt a feeling of power and dominance overflow her very core. She closed her eyes to focus on it. Her magic was overpowering Reiners, green changing to her standard yellow hue. Reiner stood there confused before fighting with her for control.
"ENOUGH!" Stella screamed. She opened her eyes, filled with light, as she unleashed her power into the entire room, causing everyone to be off their feet, and the room started to crumble . Stella landed and went after the guards still around chase. A huge blast of light went into the ax wielders eyes, blinding him permanently. She took the ax and threw it onto the other mans arm, which was raised over her with a mace. The man dropped his weapon and started screaming at his blood gushing wound, and Stella kneed him in the face and hurled him out a window. Stella landed and turned to face Reiner, who was amused from all this. He clapped slowly.
"Bravo! You can do a little magic trick and some kung fu. Big whoop. But I'm STILL more powerful than you. " he blasted his magic at her, to which she sent out magic as well, causing them to both fight for dominance. Reiner wasn't worried till Stellas eyes turned back to yellow and she pushed with all her might. Reiner was struggling when her magic over powered him, encircling him in her light. He yelled in pain.
"FLARE OF SOLARIA!" She Yelled And using all of her magic and strength, caused a huge fire ball to ignite the whole castle. Everything started to burn and disintegrated into dust. Reiner was screaming in agony, burning alive from Stella's rage. Slowly he started to turn to dust, along with his guards and his castle. He was no more. A large explosion came out from all this and finally the whole castle collapsed onto chase and Stella. Stella finally stopped when a brick hit her head and she collapsed.
Chase poked out the rubble to see the bricks broke the chains free. His magic was back and he broke the remaining parts off of him.
"You did it Stella! Great jo-" he stopped as he saw her laying there unconscious. He shook his head.
" no. no no no no no." He kept saying as he crawled over. Gently he brought her into his arms, wiping away the dust off her cheek.
"Stella? Wake up. Now." He ordered. She wasn't responding. She laid there motionless.
"Stella! Wake UP! " nothing. His face was twitching, not trying to cry. She was super pale front the exertion, not to mention she was already weak from reiners torture. She had really used everything just to save HIM.
"Stella please...don't you leave me like this. Wake up. " he leaned his head on her head, watching her intently.
"please.." He whispered. A single tear fell from his eyes and it landed on her cheek. He sat there awhile, waiting. He ran his fingers through her hair sadly. Suddenly, he felt a twitch. Not from him, but her. Her hands were twitching. He went to hold one.
"Stella?" He Asked, His eyes widened. Stella groaned and coughed a little bit. Her eyes were opening, but just a little bit, as she was very, very weak.
"Chase. You're okay." She smiled weakly.
"Who cares about me. Are YOU okay? " he asked sternly.
"I'm tired. And sore. " she mumbled. Chase sighed of relief and brought her closer to him, hugging her as tightly as possible.
"Don't you ever pull that stunt again DO YOU HEAR ME!?" He yelled. He heard a small "ow" before loosening his grip.
"I didn't want you to die. "
"Who cares about me? You shouldn't almost kill yourself to save me." He snapped. Stella looked up to face him.
"I care about you, Chase. You're the only one on this pitiful planet that truly understands me. " she said softly, drifting back into sleep.
"You had me worried sick, Stella." He cupped her face. "I care about you too. More than you know."
"Really? " she mumbled
"Of course. Stella I-" he stopped in embarrassment. Stella fought sleep to hear him say those words.
"You what?"
"I-I -I. " he rambled on. Stella smiled weakly. she tried to cup his face but sleep overpowered her and she was knocked out. Chase sighed and gently picked her up into his arms and started walking out of the rubble. It was late at night by the time he walk back to his lair. He laid her down gently into an extra bed and tucked her in. She curled up instantly, forming a little smile on her face. Chase's heart skipped a few beats at the sight of her. He knew what this was. He wasn't about to let her go.
"Good night, Stella. I love you. " he whispered, kissing her forehead. He quietly walked out and let the fairy rest. He collapsed into his bed with the thought of her overpowering his mind.
