A/N: Hey guys! I decided to give you a cute fabina chapter before the action starts. I think it's more than safe to say this fic is a little past the middle of story. Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter 10
House of traps/House of lovers
Fabian's POV
I woke up, realizing that my hands and legs were all restrained to some weird chains coming from the walls. They weren't too big, but I could move around without standing up without any problem. I realized that some of my left hand's fingers were broken, but they no longer hurt. But where was I?
I remembered following Joy into the woods and then a hard bang on my head, but everything else was a complete blank. Nina... I needed to find Nina!
I looked around the room, trying to find something that could set me free of the chains so I could go behind her, wherever she was, only to find out she was lying besides me, unconscious and her right arm was on a little awkward position. I concluded it was broken.
"Ah Nina..." I said, and tried to touch her and wake her up, just to look at that beautiful eyes and warm smile, that she always gave me when we saw each others. But I could only touch her hand, so I did.
I stayed like that for awhile, just admiring her beauty. That was when her necklace started to burn on my chest, and I realized it was time to return it.
Letting go of her hand, I took it from my neck, and called for her, a little louder, but not much.
I didn't want Victor torturing her, especially since I was so powerless to do something about it.
Nina opened her eyes slowly, and looked around. When she realized I was there, she gave me the warmest and cutest smile I had ever seen. I smiled back. She was so beautiful! Who would ever want to hurt someone like that?
"Fabian?" She tried to reach for me, but her chains interrupted her. She gave me a pain look.
"Oh no. He got you too!" She exclaimed, and started sobbing.
Right there all I wanted to do was to be able to hug her and keep her safe, like I hadn't been able to do while she was away. But now I could. Now, Victor wasn't going to touch her.
"It's ok Nins; we are going to be ok." I said, as soft as I could, almost believing on my own words.
"You promise?" She asked, after a few minutes trying to stop sobbing.
"I promise. No one will hurt you." Ever. I wanted to add. She stopped crying completely and gave me another smile. Oh, how much I had missed it!
"I missed you so much" She said, leaning over, as much as she could, for a kiss.
"I missed you a lot too." More than I have ever missed anyone else. Damn! The words just wouldn't come out right! But they never did, when I was close to her.
I leaned over, and we kissed.
Or we would have, hadn't our restrains kept us apart.
I got annoyed. Can't we have a single moment as a couple without someone interrupting us?
We broke apart and I sat leaning on the wall, sighting in frustration.
"Our friends will get us out of here soon." Nina said, hopeful.
"Yeah, they will." I agreed.
At list, that was what I hoped that would happen.
Victoria's POV
We were a few steps away from my father's master plan. Once I pulled the lever on the wall, they would all get tranquilizers flying above their heads and hitting them, knocking them out for long enough so we could drag them to the cellar.
Then dad would torture them to death to get his revenge and I would have to perform my role as the box's guardian and open it, giving Joy what she wanted:
Making Fabian her slave. He would do anything she asked him to, including be her boyfriend and be under her control forever. The worst is that he wouldn't have any control over his actions, pretty much like the Isis potion did.
And, as the Isis potion did, if he got kissed by his true love, he was free. That should be why Joy and dad are keeping chosen one trapped. She is the only one who can reverse the spell.
I felt bad about doing it, but I had no choice. I was the guardian of the box. I had to obey whoever wanted to open it, especially if that person was my father, and if the people he wanted to get revenge on had stopped him before he could get my mom back.
So when we arrived to where the trap was, I told everyone to stop and pulled the lever down.
Darts were fired from the ceiling, filling the people who were in the room with their tranquilizing poison, making them scream in agony.
I closed my eyes until the room was very quiet. I saw daddy coming and hugging me, congratulating me for obeying him. I watched as he and Joy dragged the sleepy bodies to the cellar, leaving me alone in the dark.
I felt nothing but an awful feeling of sadness and guilt pulse through my veins. That was when it hit me:
What had I done?
TBC...
