Chapter 9
Fight for Your Life
Previously:
As quick as it happened, Ally was thrown to the ground, her back making a 'thunk' against the tile floor, as her hands and legs were restrained by invisible ropes.
"Well, now that you're finally alone, I can finally finish what I started. Once I'm done with you, I'll make sure that Austin will never want to look at your ugly face ever again." A voice said. Ally was able to raise her head up just slightly so that she could a glimpse of who attacked her.
She gasped at who was standing above her.
"Brooke?!"
No One's POV:
Ally couldn't believe what was happening. All she wanted was a nice, relaxing bath, now here she is held to the floor of the bathroom, naked with this psycho standing above her. Her life just keeps getting weirder and weirder the more she's here. Ally tried to get her wrists to unlock, but each time she tried, they snapped instantly back together. She heard Brooke begin to snicker at her struggle.
"It's useless to try and escape. Your stuck here until I decide to free you, which I can guarantee, won't be for a while." Ally looked up see Brooke standing over her. She could now see that Brooke was wearing a tight fitted top that had sleeves off the shoulders, a pair of shorts and thigh high brown leather boots. She reminded Ally of those girls that stood between market corners or hide in the seedier parts of the villages.
"Look, Brooke, if it's Austin you want, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I don't have feelings for him and probably will never have feelings for him, beyond friendship. So please-"Suddenly, Ally was cut off by a pressure being placed on her neck. She felt her oxygen being cut off, yet there was no hand, nor foot holding her down.
The pressure was soon gone and Ally began coughing to try and get air back into her lungs.
"I'd watch you say to me, you little slut, I outrank you as a level 7 earth mage and my specialty is telekinesis." She dropped to one knee and stared her in the face. "I could slowly squeeze your neck, watch the life slowly fade from your eyes, and escape without a scratch on me. There would be no evidence that I was here and you would be out of mine and Austin's life forever." I saw a crazed smile break out across her face and she laughed.
Who laughs when they've just admitted to wanting to kill someone?! Oh, right, this is Brooke we're talking about. Ally knew she had to find some way out of this or she was gonna end up six feet under in no time. Talking was out of the question and the only other thing she could think of was calling for Dez, but she didn't know where he was, so she was shit out of luck there.
Her train of thought was broken when Brooke stood back up and began to rack her eyes over Ally's body. She was scrutinizing every part of her body and she felt way too uncomfortable.
"Really, Austin left me for you? I still don't see why. You have no figure what so ever. In fact, it looks as though you've never even gotten beyond that innocent little schoolgirl phase." She said. Ally felt her kick her booted foot against her side causing her to yelp out in pain. "Plus, your breasts aren't nearly as big as mine and you still have lumps of baby fat still attached to you. It truly gives me a migraine thinking about the way Austin would go on and on about you."
Wait, what? Ally lifted her head back towards her, shock written all over her face.
"What do you mean 'go on and on about me'? I only just met him yesterday." Ally said. Brookes face lit up at what she said.
"You may have physically met him yesterday, but Austin has been watching you since the day you came out of your mother's womb." Now, Ally really couldn't breathe.
Austin has been watching her since she was born? Why would he do that? More importantly, how did he do it? There were guards anywhere Ally went, so surely one of them must have seen a strange, blonde haired man following her around.
"He sent his familiar, Dez, to watch you in his animal form, so no one would be suspicious. Anything Dez saw or heard would be relayed back to him through memories. I remember the first time I saw you, you were only 13, but that was when Austin told me of his plans." Ally thought that she could see tears collecting in the corners of Brooke's eyes. "I remember it so well because it was right after Austin had asked me to his chambers for the night."
Flashback
Austin and Brooke lay naked in his bed, the covers covering only the lower half of their bodies. Brooke had a satisfied smile on her face, while Austin was asleep. She crawled on top of him and began to kiss her way up his firm chest and his neck, trying to arouse him from his sleep.
"Brooke, that's enough, you've had your night. You should be satisfied with that." Austin said as he pushed Brooke off of him and turned on his side, his back facing her.
"But, Austin, you can't expect me to satisfied with only one time when I'm your wife. I mean, how else will we have our children?" She said, trying to be as sexy as she could. However, she was deterred when she heard him give a chuckle. He turned back to her,
"You actually think I will uphold the so called 'promise' our parents made?" He said.
"But, there isn't anyone more perfect than me, so how can you just toss me aside? Did I not give you enough of myself? I gave my virginity to you. Doesn't that count for something?" She was pleading with him. She loved Austin and she based everything she had around the idea of being his wife and queen. If she didn't have that to live for…than she at least needed to know one thing before she was tossed out like a worn out dish rag.
Before Brooke could ask there was a rapping at the glass window. There was Dez in his red robin form motioning towards where Austin's solar lay. Austin jumped from the bed and quickly pulled on his black robe. Brooke watched as he threw her robe.
"If you wish to know, then get dressed and follow me." He said. She wasted no time in putting her bra and panties back on and then tying the silver robe around herself. She followed Austin into his solar, greeting Dez along the way, and saw the silver basin sitting in the middle of the room.
Austin approached Dez and clasped him on the shoulder.
"Well?" He asked, a little impatient. Brooke had never seen Austin this giddy before in her entire life. What was going on? She saw Dez extract a silver wisp from the side of his head and hand it to Austin.
Austin dropped it into the basin and Brooke saw the images appearing before her. A young girl, around the age of 13, was standing on a brick fountain singing her heart out to those who stopped to watch. She wasn't taking any tips, but had a red wagon that said, 'Please give books to the less fortunate.' Brooke found that a little cute, at least until she looked at Austin again.
He seemed to be entranced by what he was seeing. In fact, he had moved closer to the projection, his eyes locked on the young girl. Brooke had never seen that look on Austin before. He gave off this aura of something. Something she was scared to admit as to what it is. He raised his hand in an attempt to caress her check, but instead pointed his finger at her.
"This girl, Brooke, is the reason you and I will never marry." Brooke took some time to process what he said until it hit like a freight train. She stared at him with wide eyes and a shocked expression on her face.
"You would go against your people to marry a human girl?! Have you lost your mind?!"
"I have not lost my mind, Brooke, I'am simply carrying on what my ancestors started. I will be the one to bridge the gap between our two worlds and teach her how to rule both." He said a smug expression on his face.
Brooke couldn't believe what she was hearing. Austin would pass up on her, a level 5 earth mage, for a pathetic, nothing little human girl? This didn't make sense.
"And Brooke since you have voiced your displeasure to your king, I shall give you the honor of serving my future wife and queen as her lady's maid when she arrives, I'm sure that will be a very fitting job for you." That had been the last straw for her. She moved to slap him, but only managed to get her arm caught by him and lightly thrown the other way.
She felt the tears begin to collect in her eyes and ran out the room, collecting her clothes, and ran all the way back to her home. She gave that man everything she had and yet he threw her aside for someone less talented in magic and satisfying Austin's needs. It was then that Brooke took her punishment, but had alternative motives for the other girl.
This human would die by her hands, only then would Austin be hers completely.
End of Flashback
Hearing that story you would feel bad for Brooke, but when you're in the situation Ally is in, that's the farthest thing from her mind.
"Look, Brooke, I'm sorry that Austin betrayed you, but taking it out on me will not make it any better. So, please, let me up and we'll just forget any of this happened, okay?" Ally said trying to calm her down. However, Brooke was having none of that.
"Oh, I will forget something. I will forget you when you're dead and gone. Once you are, Austin will come back to me and marry me just we promised." Brooke raised her hands in the air and folded them into knuckles as the room began to shake. Ally looked to the glass roof and saw cracks begin to develop.
On instinct, Ally closed her eyes and turned her head to the side as the ceiling feel in on her. She thought that that was it, she waited for the thousands upon thousands of tiny shards to hit her, but she didn't feel anything. She looked up to see the glass shards just dangling in the air above her body.
Brooke walked through the glass, nothing cutting her as she did, and stood by Ally's head with her arms crossed and her eyes burning directly into her.
"Now, you'll get to feel the pain I felt when Austin rejected me as these glass shards pierce your skin and you can't do anything about it." Ally gasped and threw her head back as the shards were moved closer to her body. "Now where to start, where to start that is the question for me, now isn't it? Maybe I should start with your lips where he's more than likely kissed with his lips or maybe your breasts where his hands have no doubt felt?" Ally held her breath as Brooke was making her dastardly plan. All of a sudden she snapped her fingers and broke out into a grin.
"Oh I know, I'll start with your face that way Austin will never want to look at you again. You'll be so ugly he'll send you back to you human family and he'll finally take me for his wife." She moved the glass shards downward and Ally could feel her heart ready to burst out of her chest.
The tears were beginning to fall as she awaited her fate. There was one thing that she hadn't thought to do and with how things were, she was left with no choice. With the shards just inches from her face, she sucked in a deep breath and screamed,
"AUSTIN!" And a bright white light engulfed the room. Its force knocked Brooke to the ground and the glass shards vanished into thin air.
Ally's hands and ankles were released from the invisible death grip and they fell to rest above her head and below her. She felt so light headed like she could pass out, but not before she saw a pair of bright orange shoes come into focus. And with that the world faded out from under her.
That was a very intense chapter to write, but it helps to grow as a writer. Also cross your fingers! I'm in a bidding war to get Rydel Lynch's sweater and I'm the highest bidder so far. Anyways remember to review and as always stay Rossome!
