A/N: THIS CHAPTER HAS RAPE AND SEXUAL CONTENT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT THEN DON'T READ IT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Slade took in his bride with greed, she was facing the window in her beautiful white dress that would soon be on the floor. Felicity turned and smiled at him "darling! I was wondering where you got to!" she came forward and clasped his hands in hers
"You looked beautiful tonight" Slade's eyes went to her hair in that elaborate up style and suddenly wanted her hair out and free "let me" he said before reaching behind her head and started pulling pins out at random. Pressure had built up throughout the day and the pins held her hair so tightly it gave Felicity a headache – when the pins released her hair she let out an involuntary pleasure moan. Slade smiled at Felicity as he softly ruffled her hair "you are so beautiful Felicity" he tenderly kissed her cheek very close to the corner of her mouth "I have waited so long…so long"
Felicity flinched away from Slade's touch like she had been burned but Slade only smiled tenderly and held her close "Not used to other men?" he asked as Felicity shook her head "it'll be alright…I'll make you happy" his lips found hers and he kissed her passionately wrapping his arms around her. Felicity hoped The Arrow was gone and didn't have to see her like this.
"Wouldn't you want to wait?" She asked hopefully "it is only the wedding night after all, we have our whole lives together after today and…and I'm not feeling well"
"If you're worried about the pain, don't. I'll try not to hurt you although some pain is expected" Slade claimed her lips again and guided her over to her bed "I'll make this as painless as possible" he crooned and he forced her to lie down and began placing heated kisses on her body.
Oliver sat on the small hotel bed with his head in his hands, he never felt more defeated in his life. Felicity, his Felicity, was having her wedding night right now and he wasn't a part of it. Something had been wrong with Felicity, he knew the light within her was getting smaller and he vowed to protect it. Diggle had been among the common people all through the afternoon and night and had filled Oliver in on what he had found out.
"Slade is planning something –" John began
"I know! I know he is and if we could just work out what that is we could get Felicity away from him the take him down!" Oliver roared angrily, silencing his partner and then immediately feeling sorry "I'm…my apologies Dig, I'm just…it's just that…"
"I know man, I hate it too. I found out that Slade has a lot of friends in other countries who want to help him, apparently Slade wants Felicity to help him to and he is going to arrange an assassination of the queen, once the queen is out of the way, Felicity and Slade will become King and Queen by right and Felicity will have no one to rely on. She will trust Slade to take care of her" John explained as gently as he could
"Felicity doesn't and won't ever have to rely on Slade, she has me and The Arrow. However, Slade will try to break her now that they're married. I expect the breaking will be starting right now" Oliver pinched his noes between his eyes "right now, we protect the queen and Felicity, I'll watch her for any signs of trauma and bring her here if I need too"
"Should I find out more information?" Diggle asked
"No, we know enough for now, we'll just carry on what we've been doing: watch the royal household and Slade"
"What about Paris? You're meant to be there, the papers are wondering why there aren't any pictures of you enjoying yourself, should I put something together, a fake set of pictures and send them to the papers? My photo-shopping skills aren't great though"
Oliver thought of something "Felicity is good with computers, I'll get her to help us, she can get pictures of almost anything, all I would need her to do is get them and have you paste me onto them, simple enough" Oliver liked this plan and wanted to put it into play as soon as possible. Together, John and Oliver went through all the other information they knew about Slade and set to work.
The next morning Felicity refused to open her eyes, morning light streamed through and painted the inside of her eyelids red, the newly married Princess rolled over to face away from the light but winced. The Princess sat up slowly in bed, pulled back the covers and looked down between her legs to face what she feared. Blood stained her sheets, not enough to cause alarm but the meaning behind it made her want to scream and cry, the movement on the bed awoke Slade and he rolled over to face his new wife.
A grin smeared across his face when their eyes met, his hand lazily smoothing over the little bruises on her inner thighs and smiled when she flinched a little "I'm sorry, some pain can't be avoided sometimes" Felicity nodded "I made sure you enjoyed yourself in the end, didn't I?" he asked like he already knew the answer. Felicity remembered Slade's hands and tongue, the things he did to her she had never experienced before, Felicity had cried out when Slade had brought her to orgasm both pleased and confused as Slade continued to ravage her long into the night now that she had had her end.
The Princess nodded to him with a smile she hoped was happy "I'm going to shower now" she proceeded to get out of bed and yelped when Slade pulled her back down and nuzzled her neck, his fingers finding her overly sensitive clit "really?" she asked "you want to…again?" Slade's kiss silenced her as he continued to touch her
"As many times as we like" Felicity knew that the 'we' was only polite but that it was as many times as he liked before he grew to tired and fell on top of her. Felicity reluctantly spread her legs, releasing a fake moan as Slade began his assault.
Knock knock knock
Felicity could have cried out when she heard the knocking of the bedroom door "come in!" she called ignoring the venomous glare from Slade and saw with delight that a servant had come in with a tray of food, she quickly got up, put a dressing gown on and went to eat. Slade waved the servant away and watched his wife hungrily eating her fill; this was just the beginning of his plans.
When Felicity was finally allowed to bathe, she sunk gratefully into the steaming water with a real moan of pleasure. The water soothed her aching thighs and cleared away the dried blood; Felicity proceeded to take her time washing herself of the night before. Still feeling Slade's body on hers. She knew that was not what a wedding night was meant to be like and wondered what it would have been like with Oliver? Would he have been gentle? Understanding? Light caresses and kissing and making sure she was comfortable?
Felicity pushed Oliver from her mind with difficulty. He wasn't her husband, Slade was! Yet she missed him and wondered what Paris was like. Maybe she would get Slade to take her one day?
A soft buzzing brought her out of her thoughts and she looked over to the vanity, a message had come through on Slade's phone. Felicity got out of the bath and reached for it, her hand pausing above it when she thought about what she was going to do this is an invasion of privacy Felicity thought. She had no right to look, the good thing to do would be to alert her husband and give it to him without looking at it. Felicity was a good person, however Slade was not. A dark thought filled Felicity – Slade didn't deserve anything, she hated him and only married him to protect herself and her people. He didn't deserve privacy.
Felicity touched the little screen and looked at the message:
In position. Awaiting your go-ahead.
The number was unknown. She couldn't trace it but maybe The Arrow could? Quickly, Felicity wrapped herself in her robe and went to get her own phone, Slade was still in bed when she came out of the bathroom "What's wrong darling?" he asked
"Your phone…a message came through" she handed the phone to him without looking at him and went to her own phone quickly sending a message to The Arrow before deleting it.
That day Felicity spent with her mother, pretending to be the happy newlywed daughter of the queen. Her heart broke every time Slade would message her asking what she was doing, she hated how controlling he was but her mother just thought he was being protective newlywed husband who didn't want to be a part from his wife.
The night, The Arrow waited with John in his hotel room for the Princess to come, her message had been quick and he immediately worried for her "Are you going to tell Felicity of the coming assassination?"
The Arrow shook his head, he had seen his Princess throughout the day with her mother, something about her had changed. She still smiled, talked and laughed but it was…empty. Her eyes shone with sadness and hurt and he could see that she was hurting from the way she carried herself and how she walked. Slade had raped her on her wedding night, he had robbed her of a night that was meant to be filled with love and passion! To clear his mind of his own pain, The Arrow had found and killed some gang members in Arkham, their blood on the ground satisfied him.
"Felicity doesn't need to hear it, she has been through enough. We'll ask her about the pictures and get her to tell us what she has found out"
Diggle nodded and put his black mask on to cover his face when a soft knock came from the door "Enter" The Arrow felt his lips break into the smallest smile when Felicity entered the room but his smile was replaced with a scowl when he saw how she was dressed: an oversized shirt with a thick woollen jumper, baggy pants and basic black flats and sunglasses to cover her eyes. Felicity was using her clothing to hide herself from the world; from him and he hated it.
"Princess" The Arrow said as gently as he could so as not to scare her "you had something for me?"
Felicity only nodded and looked down before she seemed to force herself to look into his eyes "I think Slade is planning something. I saw a message on his phone this morning about someone being in position and waiting for something"
"I'll look into it and let you know if I find anything, thank you for taking such a great risk coming here, Felicity" The Arrow reached into his pocket and handed a USB drive to her "I need you to do something for me, can you go onto your computer and put images of public places in Paris onto here for me?"
"Paris?" Felicity's eyes lit up "that's where Oliver is! Shouldn't you know that?" she asked suspiciously
"Oliver doesn't want to be seen right now, and I can't protect him if I don't know where he is" the silly lie slipped passed his lips "and if I have some pictures of landmarks or public places maybe I can use them to track him. Will you help me one last time?"
"Yes but what do you mean one last time? If you need me I want to help!" Felicity asked stepping forward into The Arrow's personal space, the first time she had been this close with a man since this morning. Felicity remembered herself and stepped away again looking embarrassed
"I won't have you taking risks for me, you're in enough danger as it is and Oliver would never forgive me if something happened to you" Felicity nodded in reply and wordlessly turned to the door "where are you going?" The Arrow asked
"I assume that's all you wanted from this meeting? Shouldn't I be going home now?" Felicity asked dumbly
"I'll escort you" The Arrow nodded to his partner and together the green vigilante and the princess headed out the door and into the hall "we won't be taking the stairs" he said in her ear and guided her to a window and opened it showing her the 12 story drop to the ground. Using his bow he shot an arrow attached to a wire across the street "hold onto me tightly now" he said and opened his arm to her.
Felicity held The Arrow firmly around his waist as they flew through the air, feeling safer than ever with The Arrow's arm around her.
When they came to the palace, The Arrow made sure there was no one in her room before letting her enter from the outside, Felicity thanked him again but The Arrow wasn't letting her go "Princess, I know what you're doing"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean" The Arrow said firmly "these clothes that hide your body, the way you stand and walk, I can protect you but I can't do it alone. You have a light inside of you that Oliver and I care about more than anything else in this world"
"You care about me?" Felicity asked stupidly
"Yes, as much as the Prince. I know you're strong but I want you to promise me that you won't let your light go out. Can you promise me?" The Arrow asked staring so deeply into her eyes "you have to fight him, I will protect you as much as I can but I can't do it alone. If your light went out I don't know what I would do"
"I'll fight for you, for Oliver and my mother" Felicity said determinedly feeling warmth swell within her
"I know you will"
The Arrow jumped down from the balcony and stared up at his Princess lovingly before disappearing. Felicity jumped when Slade came up behind her and snaked his arms around her nibbling her neck "Where have you been?" he asked
"I…I just went for a walk, that's all"
"What is his name?" Slade turned her to face him and glared at her "tell me who you were with!" he growled
"No one! Just a walk! I would never cheat on you! I love you!" Felicity stammered as Slade roughly pulled her to the bed "only you! I swear!"
"A good wife is obedient and LOYAL!" Slade slapped her across the face before biting her neck "I'll mark you so no man will touch you!" he bit down on her skin again, her neck, chest, stomach before holding her down and forcing her to look at him "are we going to have any problems, dear wife?"
"N-N-NO!" Felicity screamed as Slade ripped her jumper from her body exposing her t-shirt that had ridden up her stomach
"After tonight, no man will want to touch you!" Slade pulled her pants down and cupped her core "you're mine, you and your kingdom belong to me! Say it!"
"I'm yours" Felicity had wiped her face of all emotion as Slade smiled down at her
"Good girl" he kissed her before completely changing his tune and got up from her and adjusted his tie leaving Felicity both confused and very relieved
"You…you don't…ummm want to…?" Felicity asked hopefully
"I have business to attend to tonight but I'll be back to claim you, you're eager tonight" he smiled and gave her a cheeky kiss "have patience my darling"
"I'll try" Felicity faked laugh as he left the room and she let out a sigh of relief, she had to be strong! She could do this! Thoughts of The Arrow and Oliver made her feel strong.
A/N: I know, this ending isn't very good but I just didn't want to end it with a rape scene. I couldn't handle it. Oh my god the next chapter or so with Felicity and The Arrow is INTENSE and I can't wait for you to read it!
