Maeve had hoped she would not have to see this woman again in her life, at least not the day of her wedding. She did not know what to do. She was frighten and did not want to believe that the woman dressed in a blue long dress was standing there.
She asked with a trembling voice, but she truly did not want to know the answer, "Rumina?"
The evil sorceress came a little closer with her typical, confident steps.
She smiled ironically and said. "My Dear… It's true that it's been more than a year since our last meeting, but I don't think I have changed so much, in reverse to you, but I have to admit that motherhood is favorable for you… and that wedding dress, I can hardly believed that's you."
Maeve's heart was pounding faster and faster. She didn't want to listen to Rumina's words. Her anger was painted clearly on her face.
With clenched teeth she asked once again, "What do you want here?!"
"You and your beloved Sinbad forgot to send asn invitation to me. So I had to invite myself and here I am. I came for the ceremony."
"I won't let you destroy my wedding!"
The Celtic sorceress was ready for fight.
Rumina who was slowly circling around her stopped and whispered into Maeve's ear, "You know you cann't stop me. You are still too weak after the childbirth."
The redheaded woman closed her eyes and clenched her teeth tighter as the evil beauty continued her taunting, "Looks like your motherhood is favorable for me also."
Maeve wanted to create a fireball and throw it at Rumina; but indeed, she was not strong enough to do it. The evil witch laughed at her and made a quick move with her hand which made Maeve fell unconscious.
"Perfect!"
Rumina was admiring her job when her sister walked in. The short brunette looked like the old, evil, Bryn once again. Dressed in a long yellow dress with numerously expensive adornments. She looked at Maeve fallen on the ground and said to her sister, "Well done! And I have a little added bonus for them all."
She smiled evilly and pointed at the cage where Dermott was caught.
"He is more stupid than I thought."
Rumina was very proud that her plan were going well.
She turned to Bryn, "Take them both to the cave and make sure they won't escape. I have to prepare myself for the ceremony."
Both woman laughed and then Bryn used her magic to teleport her and her prisons away from the red head's bridal chambers.
When Rumina was alone in the room, she walked to the mirror and change herself to look exactly like Maeve.
"Missing of the bride can't stop the ceremony. There were so many preparations for it and so many guests have arrived. No one will be disappointed."
Bryn brought Maeve and Dermott to some cave which was situated in some coastal rocks. She chained the arms and legs of the still unconscious sorceress to one rock and put the cage with Dermott next to her.
The hawk tried to wake his sister up, using the telepathy, "Maeve! Maeve, wake up!"
The redhead slowly opened her eyes and looked around.
She said to Dermott in her mind, "Dermott, what happened? Where we are?"
Then she heard familiar voice who answered her questions, "You are somewhere from which you cannot escape."
Bryn, who was seated on one of the rocks and watching Maeve's aghast face, added, "Reading people's mind is an ability which my dear sister has never possessed and always make her envious."
Maeve looked at her with rancor, "You? How dare you? Sinbad trusted you!"
"I always said he is, too trustful, that is."
Bryn looked at sea water which's level raised in the cave and said, standing up, "I would like to talk more about the features of our hero, but I have no time; but don't worry you two won't stay here for long. You see… the water's level will be rising quickly in this beautiful cave. In an hour you will enjoy the company of fishes."
The evil woman smiled ironically and added, "Now, excuse me. While my dear sister will take care of your dear Sinbad, I have to take care of your daughter."
She laughed and disappeared.
Helpless Maeve looked at the water and desparately tried to free herself without effect.
She looked at Dermott but could not say anything.
They were stuck.
Both of them.
