Eugene: Ok, sorry that I haven't came up with a new idea for this chappie earlier. Also, Fabia's still scarred for life by the last chapter here..
Fabia: *shudders* T.T
Ren: You'd better make this less violent, you hear me? *still embraces Fabia*
Eugene: Um.. ok.. but only by the next chapter since this one is still a bit violent due to the bullies.. ^^""" Anyway, ONWARD WITH CHAPTER 4!
By the dawn of the next morning, Fabia's injuries began to heal themselves and she felt a bit better. She stepped out of her room after changing into a new dress. Ren was waiting across the room.
"Are you all right, Fabia?" Ren asked, reaching out for her hand.
"Don't worry about it. I'm fine." Fabia replied, gently moving his hand out of the way. "I told you, I just tripped over and fell, that's all."
Fabia and Ren continued to prepare for the slumber party. Fabia also just learned from Aranaut that Dan and the other brawlers will be coming right at the Neathian palace on Saturday. As the hours wore on, Fabia wondered if those bullies from the day before decided to stop tormenting her yet. So as soon as Ren went to the bathroom by sundown, she quickly went to the enclosed alleyway where the bullies were there last time. She checked but no bullies.
"Phew. I think they're finally gone. This looks like I'm safe.. for now." Fabia said, relieved.
"Are you sure about this, princess?" Aranaut asked nervously. He was shaking a bit. "They might be away just to hurt you again.."
"Aranaut, I'm sure it won't happen-" But the Neathian princess spoke too soon as dark figures appeared right behind her. A flashlight was lit up and it was the bullies again! They dropped the flashlight and kept kicking and punching, scratching and pinching, stomping and every other painful attempt that hurt Fabia, but a lot worse than last time. Even Aranaut had a few scratches but other than that, he was dropped to the ground by the bullies.
"Ouch.. that hurts.. but I won't let them do that to me again!" Fabia thought angrily, then with a flash, she stood up and threw the bullies to the ground hard.
"Ha! A girl who can throw that far! That's so wrong!" She heard one of the guys saying as he sneered. "Boys, let's show the princess how it's done.."
Fabia didn't know what he meant, but for one thing, her strength began to run out and her knees sunk to the ground. Then she felt the bullies beat her harder and more painful every second. She only had enough strength to escape back to the castle yet again..
