Sam's POV

Pete looked at me, seeming pathetic but regretful. Should I let him go just like that?

"Will you guys please forgive me?" he pleaded. "I promise that I would never do evil ever again!"

Freddie nodded as I turned away from him. As soon as Melanie regained consciousness, she looked behind me and gave a shriek. I looked behind me as I saw Pete holding a dagger, eyes filled with rage and anger. But he wasn't aiming at me.

"Hah!" Pete was backstabbing Freddie. As in, literally.

The moment I realized what Pete was doing, I immediately stretched my arms out towards him, fists aiming at him and a surge of energy went towards his body. As I saw him frozen in place with Freddie shocked at the sight, I looked at my hands. There was blue energy thingies surrounding my hands. In a matter of seconds, they were gone along with the shock from the situation.

"What's happening?" Pete was frozen there, with white light glowing from within him. Although I was still new to these powers, but I'm sure that I wasn't that powerful to form a white aura thingy around Pete. With a horrifying shriek, the white aura left Pete, leaving him unconscious on the ground.

"It's the dark element!" Freddie recognized it straight away. "It's getting away!"

"Not on my watch," I said as I grabbed the nearest glass jar and leaped into the air, trapping the white aura into the jar. "Got it!" I smiled proudly.

Pete regained consciousness and looked over at me. "Who are you?" he asked.

"He must've forgotten everything that happened while he was controlled by the dark element which was driven by his rage," Freddie explained. "Just like how you froze the element and forced him out of Pete when you were trying to save me."

"Freddie," Pete seemed to recognize him. "What's going on? Who are these people?"

Freddie laughed for a second before attending to Pete, explaining all that had happened in the past few years, leaving Pete surprised that he had missed out on the action. Throughout the conversation, I held onto the now captured dark element, keeping an eye on him and making sure that he doesn't escape ever again.

Now that Pete is free from the dark element's control, he sure seemed a whole lot better than usual. When he smiles, his face brightens up with passion and sincerity, unlike what he used to be.

That night, before I went to bed, I placed the jar containing the dark element at my bedside. I stretched and yawned as I looked at the contents of the jar closely. It seemed to be less tired than me, as he stood there, unhappy about being held in captivity.

"Well," I stated. "This is what you get for harming so many people."

He stuck his tongue out at me and hit the glass jar, hoping it would break. "It's no use," I laughed at his determination. "No matter how you try to escape, the glass is too strong to be broken."

I switched off the lights and went to bed, making fun of the element as I climbed on the bed. Soon, I fell asleep.

"Samantha..." a voice was calling for me. "Samantha Puckett..."

"Who's that?" I asked. "And no one calls me Samantha except for my mum!"

A white figure stood in front of me when I turned around. After a closer look, I was sure she was a female. "Who are you?"

"Samantha," the lady smiled gently; so gently that I calmed down as fast as anyone could say 'Yakimaniac'. "I'm Lady Marissa, the enchantress who brought the elements together."

Wait a sec, doesn't Freddie have a mother named Marissa? "Were you the voice in my head that told me not to go with Pete on that little date?"

"Yes, my dear," she replied, smiling still ever so friendly. "I'm sure you know my son too."

So my guess was right, she's Freddie's mother. "You're Fredward Benson's mother?"

She nodded slowly. "I'm glad I didn't send the light element to the wrong body. You sure are smart."

"Of course, but why did you come down to Earth just like me and Pete did?" I asked. "I mean, weren't you afraid that Pete will kill you for sending him down here?"

"I'm no mortal," she said. "I came down to Earth with the intention of keeping an eye on you and Pete, hoping that you would be able to teach the little element a lesson. Right after Pete was born, I made my way down here so that I would be able to watch over him as I await for your birth."

"But aren't we supposed to be born at the same time?" I asked. "Since the light and the dark are..."

"No, my dear," she interrupted me, but kindly and gently. "You cannot be born at the same time. There would be imbalance as you are both on conflict with each other. Anyway, on with the story. As I watch over Pete, I met the king who was in terrible danger. I managed to cure him with my magic, though I lied to him that I was practising medicine, and at that moment when our eyes met, we..."

"You guys fell in love?" I tried to complete he sentence.

She giggled. "That's when I decided to stay on Earth for the rest of my life living as a mortal. Even though he lied to me that he was the Grand Duke instead of a prince, I knew from the start about his identity. I once thought of using that excuse to leave him and return to my rightful place here, but our love was too strong."

"Then?" I motioned for her to continue.

"Then," she continued with her story. "We got married. Soon after, little Fredward was born. In the same year, you were born too. So, I waited till you were more matured before returning up here."

I was puzzled. "But Freddie told me that you died."

"Actually," she explained. "I am no mortal. I can never die. I only took the chance when Pete tried to kill me to return here. I may have missed them alot, but I still have duties here as enchantress. So now, as enchantress of the milky way, I thank you for providing assistance in teaching the dark element a lesson and bringing him back here to us."

Lady Marissa waved her wand and I felt a tingling sensation in me for a few seconds, before feeling normal again.

"Thank you," she said. "But please, don't tell Fredward about our little conversation, will you? I want him to think of me as the queen of Earth, not the enchantress of the milky way."

"Sure," I replied.

"My gratitude is to you," and with that, I felt myself falling down... falling... down...

"Ouch!" I made a sound after falling from my bed. Sigh... it was all a dream. But as I looked up at my bedside, the jar and the element are gone. I smiled, climbing back up onto my bed and falling asleep again...

A/N: The end of this fanfic is nearing... But after that, I would be writing a new one. It would most probably have something to do with Rapunzel. Hmm... I hope that you liked this chapter. Look forward to the next chapter where there will be an awesome twist :D See you next week!
