Chapter 12
Failed Protection
As Tecna woke up the next morning, the first thing she felt was the pain of her ankle. Her ankle had gotten worse and the spell had worn off. Now, it was more painful than it was the previous night. Tecna struggled to sit up in bed, trying not to move her leg. Timmy was reading his book, waiting for her to awaken. When he noticed that she did, he ran over to her bed.
"Tecna is your ankle okay?" he asked.
"It... it's so sore, I can't even move it, I... I don't think I can get up." she answered, trying not to sound helpless.
"I can get a bit of pain relieving potion from the nurse, and something for you to eat. Are you sure you'll be safe by yourself? I was really worried last night when you woke up again." Timmy looked at Tecna with pained eyes. Since she twisted her ankle, he didn't want to leave her for one split second. She could become an easy target with an injury and no protection.
"I... I'll be fine, I'll probably just... try to rest." she responded, trying to lie back down. Timmy left the room, having second thoughts about leaving her unprotected. Tecna tried to fall back to sleep, but her throbbing ankle was keeping her awake. Suddenly, she saw a shadow floating around her bed, could her fewest days be up?
Timmy rushed back to Tecna's room with the potion and the food, unfortunately, he was too late. The Technolord had trapped Tecna in a force field and try as she might, she couldn't break free.
"Let her go, now!" Timmy dropped everything and pulled out his laser.
"Pathetic boy, you left her for a minute, and she's mine." the Technolord laughed hysterically, but Musa blasted him from behind.
"You're really tryin' my patience!" Musa yelled in anger as she knocked him on the ground.
"Hey mister ugly, I'm over here!" Stella taunted from behind Musa.
"Alright, we'll take care of this creep, you get Tecna out." Bloom told Flora and Layla the plan. Flora and Layla flew over to the force field and used Enchantix convergence to try and break it.
"It's too strong, we can't break it!" Layla told Bloom as she tried her very hardest and used all her strength with the help of Flora's power. Finally the two friends managed to break the force field.
Unfortunately for Tecna, the Technolord grabbed her and covered her mouth so she couldn't scream. Then he formed one of his techno smoke portals out of thin air and cast his sleeping spell on Tecna. Timmy sprinted toward the portal, unluckily for him, it closed before he could jump in and save her, leaving him fallen on the floor.
"I shouldn't have left her." he said sadly.
"Don't be so hard on yourself, your intentions were good." Flora encouraged him.
"We will get her back, but we'll have to hurry!" Bloom ran out the door, with Timmy right behind her, running like there was no tomorrow.
Chapter 13
Nightmare Come true
Tecna woke up in a dark, cold room, and she was tied to a metal pole in the center of it, just like her dream had predicted. The bandages on her ankle were starting to get torn, and it looked like her injured ankle had been scraped from the rocks on the floor. It was beginning to get infected with dirt, not to mention even more painful. Suddenly, a shadow drew closer and closer to her until the image was visible. Tecna know what would happen next, her heart was beating faster as the footsteps came closer. It was the Technolord, now shape shifted into Timmy's body.
"Please... please tell me it's really you Timmy, please." Tecna replied. There was shakiness and fear in her voice. She was almost crying, afraid of what would happen next, knowing this is exactly what happened in her dream the previous night.
"Sorry, I don't think you'll see that orange haired boy ever again, nor will you see the light of day!" the Technolord shape shifted back into his own body as he spoke. As Tecna saw this, she screamed in terrifying fear.
"Quiet!" he snapped at her, "Now, I'm feeling quite agreeable, I'll give you half an hour before I finally have your techno magic!" He disappeared into the darkness, leaving his two minions to guard the room. Tecna burst into tears as he disappeared; she was too frightened to think at all. One of the guards in the far corner could hear her weeping, and turned to face her.
"You!" he snapped, "Quit crying!" She tried to turn the other way. But the magic resistant rope was wrapped to tightly around her for her to move, and her ankle made it even more impossible. She hung her head and continued to cry silently.
