Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed the last chapter! X
Here is chapter seven, PLEASE LISTEN TO HEART BY HEART (FROM the Mortal instruments movie sound track) to set the mood for this chapter. I guarantee you will get more out of the reading of my stories when you actually listen to the 'set songs 'I place in the description.

Something which makes my stories more unique. X

DISCLAIMERS (as usual): Destik and Zeek are however my own characters and any similarities they have to real people or other cartoon characters are purely by coincidence.

Chapter Seven

Musa tried to run away from whom ever was hunting her down. A shout came not so far away "shoot her with the dragon shots! Zeek!"

As she tried to run away, the same blonde guy flora saw the other night jumped out of a tree right in front of her and before Musa could even try to transform or divert, he shot her.

Zeek quickly wrapped an arm around Musa; she became more and more disoriented and dizzy.

She murmured "Jared? What are you doing?"

"The names Destik but you probably knew that." A voice came to join Jared. He was a rugged character with navy hair which matched Jared's, only he had green eyes and hair that was a little longer; just passed his ears. His skin looked pretty tanned and roughed up with a very strong smell of a sickly morning breath mixed with the fresh stink of a farm... no doubt he loved his weed.

Destik's green eyes were encased in a yellow surrounding as his glance down at Musa became an endless staring gaze upon his new slave. She was under submission on her knees, unable to move. "Nice work boys! One more shot of drip drags should knock her out real good."

Musa questioned "drip what?"

Zeek kneeled to brush his blonde goatee over Musa's cheeks "aww isn't she a cutie, can't we keep her Destik?"

Destik rolled his eyes at his little brother Zeek, "No... Why the... just give her another dose... Oh! You don't know what drip drags mean, do you princess?!" He had such a smug way of saying that yet he went on talking.

"Drip drags are just another word for dragon liquor. It's basically dark dragon tears... very rare to find in such a strong, hot and fearsome creatures. Especially in dark dragons. But we find our ways around it. More powerful than any alcohol found on earth, it can be used to drink, to sedate and works as an effective draft, pretty much. It's the perfect way to get girls like you to do whatever we want..."

As Destik leaned in, Zeek jumped up while knocking over Destik at the same time and shouted "ohh! Christmas came early!" And unzipped his trousers. But through all his excitement, he completely blinded himself from noticing the massive blow he got at the back of his head from Jared.
"OUCH! Destik! Jared slapped me!" Zeek complained.

"Zeek you cream poof! We don't even celebrate Christmas." Destik shouted through the smoke of his cigar. "We promised no harm to her remember, not until you know who gets to feast his eyes on her."

Jared bent down to Musa and kindly looked at her face "don't worry! No one will touch you and no harm will come to you, I won't allow it. Sorry about Zeek, he's pretty much the clown of the bunch."

Musa became very confused. Why wasn't he helping her? What was Jared doing? She avoided the second dose by nudging Jared's arm away from her. "Jared, why can't we work together and we can both escape? C'mon Jared!" Musa's voice sharp to his ears.

Jared's caring veneer faded at the chance of a demonic smirk to morph on to his face. "Silly Musa, Why would I do a stupid thing like that and betray my brothers?" He embraced Zeek with one arm and quickly moved away before Musa could head butt him.

"No!" Musa struggled to break free from their hold. Her desperation grew stronger, she needed to transform.

"Try all you want Musa but face it, how can I love you when you don't even know the truth of your parents. Your father ordered the death of our parents, they fought for resistance. The brotherhood of the red glove only wants to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. It's our birth right to rule. Your father is scum and its scum like him who have to pay for what they did; we lost everything because of him. Because society shunned us away. We survive on power, Musa! We survive by striking fear into the eyes of hundreds otherwise how else we could survive. Melody has always been a realm of survival. You can choose to live a short life on scraps or fight to survive and take what you know you deserve." Jared didn't seem to care about whatever good reason there were for Musa's parents for getting the throne. All he wanted was to get the throne back. Despite his feelings for Musa. He and his brothers were still nothing more than power-hungry.

Zeek's eyes began to water "this is all for them: mum, dad, our grand-parents... all of them; where ever they are."

"Don't worry little bro, everything will be alright and hoe-bo will pay for what he did to them. He only became royalty by kicking our family into death and with his precious wife gone; we will be able to shorten his reign even more." Jared put his hand on Zeek's shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile that said 'everything will be alright'

Zeek smiled "I don't care so much about revenge as long as I get to restore peace to our parent's graves then I'm happy. All you need is family. Family is everything. With you from birth till death, bound by blood and flesh with or without love. There is nothing like family. Who needs friends when you got the most awesome brothers ever! Red glove and bound by blood. Made to rule as true royals."

Jared quietly said it back to him with sincerity "Red glove and bound by blood. Made to rule as true royals".

Musa's eyes turned black, she was half way through transforming when Zeek quickly held her down and Jared stabbed her with the dragon concentrate. Musa scream and went back to square one, unable to transform. Great... just great...

Her eyes were oddly black and her shadow suddenly faded. The sun had gone down but her shadow seemed to have escaped...almost like it went hiding into the highest of trees. Very strange...

Zeek quickly took this opportunity to give Musa the late condolences of her mother's passing; explaining that he understands why hoe-bo stayed on the throne even after her death... living indeed becomes easy for who ever is chosen to be the realms leaders... "...please don't take it personal love; it's all between us and your father."

"Tie her up guys, but be gentle with her". Jared crossed his arms and instructed them.

Destik grinned through his yellow teeth with his tongue out and said wildly "ooh! Whatever you say, Romeo!" He bit his tongue through that grimace perverted face expression and jumped his hands over the branch of a tree and climbed up to make himself comfortable while he let Zeek do the rest of the work.

"It's secure but I hope it's not too tight, I don't want to give her rope burns". Zeek's black shades slid down his nose when he spoke with such innocence. Destik looked at Zeek "what the fuck bro?! Quit being a pussy and just tie her up." He smacked his head and walked towards Jared to pack up and leave with Musa.

Musa's inner winx power was burning; something was definitely up; her eyes glowing black once again. She was clearly trying hard to escape.

Destik looked at Musa and shouted "give her one last dose! If she gets into her fairy form then her power flow will create something worse!"

Jared jumped on getting another dose before Destik could even finished his sentence. Zeek panicked and in fear, he started to quickly tighten the ropes and started to put Musa in a hog tie.

"I sure hope this is strong enough to hold you. I'm sorry Princess Musa but it's for your own good."

Destik grew impatient "hurry up boys!"

"Hey Zeek! Catch!"Jared threw the drugged gun at his little brother in hope he catches it.

Suddenly a sword flung through the air and sliced the dark dragon substance in half. Riven on his wind rider knocked Destik over but Jared got on his wind rider and chased after Riven; trying to knock him out of the sky.

Riven saw what Jared was trying to do and lowered himself down.

The next thing Jared sees is Musa finally in her winx form, her blue top turned red, silky shimmering wings appeared and her messy bun became two pigtails but unfortunately her eyes remained black!

A massive blast of bright golden light flashed through everyone's vision and startled Zeek who was holding her down. The blast powerful enough to rip his clothes and leave a gash across his face. The beta sound waves Musa produced had knocked Jared and Riven off their bikes. Luckily they jumped off of them in time and continued to fight on ground.

Musa blasted Jared away "LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

Sound waves knocked Jared into Destik.

Musa called upon her Charmix which became incredibly painful. The darkness and the light in Musa were in a battle of their own. The darkness from the drugs in Musa was mixing and feeding off of her. But when her Charmix appeared, it turned black! And as the sun was in its last setting before in completely disappeared... Musa's shadow and Charmix creeping off her skin and escaped, thus her eyes went back to normal and she fell from the sky!

Riven dropped his weapon and chased after her. Jared got to her first. With Riven's sword now in Jared hands, he held a fragile Musa. Riven looked on in anger.

"You traitor! You liar! You never cared for her! Where is your heart?!"

Jared holding Musa against the sword and started to threaten "take another step and she'll have no heart..."

Riven felt a gun by his feet, how was he going to get it?

Zeek standing not far away was coming towards Riven and just when Riven picked up the gun, Destik had already stood in front of Jared.

"You want to shoot my brother? You really want to?! Go on! I fucking dare you! Ha! C'mon you pussy! You shoot him then I shoot you. Simple!"

Riven holding the gun to his side, Zeek ready to grab him from behind. There was no escape left for Riven and Musa. It was over there and then.

Destik stated some impatient facts quite smoothly to Riven, "Actually, you and your pansy hair is useless to us. Waste of Space, Time... and Money."

A shot was made. There was blood pouring down the floor. Eyes sparked with shock. He was dead! He was actually dead!

Destik had pulled the trigger.

Musa looked ahead with tears in her eyes and panic in her every heart beat. Riven was on the floor.

A few seconds later Destik and Jared were screaming in shock. They ran over to Zeek whose life was slipping away because Riven did a matrix slide and fell to the ground to avoid the bullet. No one would have predicted that it would hit Zeek who was behind Riven. Destik should have seen it coming but he didn't; blinded by his own selfish desires...

The 3 brothers were all holding onto each other "no! No...No! NO!" Jared changed, something about this night changed Jared.

"I'm so sorry Zeek... I'm sorry..." Destik clutched his hair and then Zeek's body back and forth.

Musa and Riven saw this opportunity to swiftly escape, leaving them to mourn over Destik's mistake. They grabbed hold of the wind rider and left, it was no longer safe. Musa held onto Riven in shock. In pure disbelief of what just happened.

Less than an hour later they were under the night sky, Musa's eyes started to clear. She noticed something when the moonlight hit Riven's body. "Riven? You're hurt, really bad."

"Just a few bruises. Whatever." he replied coldly back to Musa. Alfea was in view by now and not long left until landing.

Riven's bike was still damaged from the battle and so when he tried to lower in down. The wind rider became shaky.

"Whoa! What's going on?!"Musa asked.

Riven couldn't get any more stressed now could he?!

"Musa, just stay quiet". His bike started to cough up even more and even worse. Riven was trying so hard to concentrate on the sky through the darkness. Musa's head was groggy, "dude! Drive any smoother?!" She was still able to pull off a sarcastic remark over Riven regardless of her wellbeing.

"It's not me!" Riven argued back when his bike began to shake its way out of the sky. Riven began to lose the glimpse of Alfea he once had in front of him when his bike decided to tumble its way down to the ground.

"Shit! Jump Musa!" Riven grabbed Musa and escaped onto the ground before they could get crushed by a giant flying red vehicle.

"What the hell was that?!" Musa was pretty irritated.

Riven gritted his teeth; "busted engine."

"I don't get why you had to bring your bike into battle in the first place." Musa was seriously tired of Riven's stupidity.

"Says the one who broke it. You're so irresponsible!" Riven complained. Next thing he knows, thunder strikes and it began to rain heavy into the night.

As the rain got heavier, their arguments got louder. "You always have to think your right!" Shouted Riven

"And you always think you can do everything yourself!" Musa reacted.

"Takes one to know one!" Riven announced smugly at Musa actions.

Musa's winx transformation faded and she went back to her red one strap top and blue jeans. The weather was not doing any justice to her temperature.

"I don't know why I put up with you sometimes..." Riven didn't mean that, surely he was just very tired and wanted to get back to red fountain.

"Yeah Riven, why do you bother with me?! Huh?! I'm sure everyone wants to know why you bothered?! Coming along to the forest and all it must have been so fucking hard for you!" Musa ranted away, attacking Riven in every angle she could while Riven on the other hand was really on the verge of exploding. Musa kept going and Riven kept getting more and more impatient.

"You say you don't care, sometimes I wish you could just make your mind up! Seriously! What are we in your eyes! You never made it clear what you wanted and now someone's brother is dead tonight! He was probably the only one who showed me a little compassion before you showed up!" Musa's rant began leading her to tear; her anger turned to sadness and made her cry.

"All you have ever done to me is leave me wondering when you will ever turn up again" Musa kept shouting, she was in hysterics.

"And I waited endlessly at Alfea waiting to see you again after the witches were defeated, why do you decide to rescue me today then?! Because of what?! WHAT?!" Musa hysterical tears blended with the rain.

Musa was ongoing "Why do you have such a problem with me..."

Riven heard enough, he had all the answers but just needed to get them out. So he grabbed Musa by the head, his finger tips embedded into the back of her neck as he pressed his lips against hers for a passionate kiss.

Riven got his wish and she was silenced. Musa struggled out but Riven's grip on her was so firm that he trailed his hand aggressively down her back and pulled her in closer by her waist. Musa could only resist for so long. He could feel how soft her lips felt, her cold flesh turned warm. Her body feeling the waves of passion taking over. Something Riven had wanted to do for a long time; finally it came out, the lust hungry kiss of a life time.

Riven guided her body to a tree using the dominance of his own over hers. He grabbed both her hands and pressed them against the tree, having the placed above her head. Musa finally surrendered her body over and when she did, she could feel Riven's tongue eager to meet with hers. Riven's much tense and stronger body pushed well and hard against Musa until she had finally become submissive to his hands. His tongue swirling games with hers.-Such a tingling sensation.

Riven tried to stop himself and they had both bound each other by their heads while trying to resist the kiss, eyes shut tight against the urge. This only failed when Musa and Riven's breaking apart would only let each other the small chance to breathe... Their lips found each other again, their noses lovingly touched and Musa wrapped her hands Riven's neck, her fingers running up and down his chest. Riven's hands reacted with shock and brushed through her body, tingling her spine. His rough hands clasping Musa's body, he brought her closer which caused enough friction between the two of them that no furnace could match the heat these dangerous lovers had created. His hand stopped by her hips and the other quickly came off her thigh before he dared going any further. Riven became so tempted to feel her breasts, he wanted to know her every warmth, he wanted to feel everything. He started to kiss her neck. Musa was nervous; she could feel the stubble of his facial hair begin to brush harder against her skin. Riven could feel the chill on Musa's bare skin around her waist.

When she looked up to see Riven, his eyes were engulfed in fire. All the love and care was shot out of him in a blaze of lust and desire to finally kiss the girl of his dreams, his one true soul mate. A spark hit and they finally both knew their place. Musa blushed from seeing the fire in his eyes. He took her breath away (and not just literally).

"I love you Musa... I uhh...better late than never I guess." He sighed.

The moonlight made the rain glimmer under its beautiful silver light.

Musa's hand slowly slipped out of Riven's as she moved to sit down on his bike.

"Musa, your freezing cold." Riven undid the magenta clasp on the front of his cape and threw it over Musa. He rubbed his hands up and down her arms to warm up her pale frozen skin. The hair made a mess of Riven's her but he pushed it back and kept up at analysing his bike for damage and repairs.

Musa was just in shock and so speechless; She Just could not think straight."Im just so... confused." Musa blurted out her thoughts.

Riven sat down next to her and sighed "you know when you asked me why I came..."

"Yeah..."

"The truth is, I felt that you were in danger. I don't know how but I felt it. Like whatever happened in shadow haunt actually made us have this connection. Something stronger."

"Love..." Musa thought to herself... "Nothing mushy or sappy...just you know... it's what happened to bloom to get her back". Musa blushed, trying so hard not to look like a fool at this point.

"You are right, Musa." Riven smiled and held her hand.

"...and Musa, I wouldn't want it any other way, I don't regret saving you. It was his own anger to kill me, that's how that Zeek kid lost his life. We are not to blame."

"I didn't trust Jared, that's why I was so...you know..."

"It's ok Riven; you don't need to explain any of that. Really, it's ok... I just don't understand... after all this time... why after all this time, why didn't you see me? Talk to me? Anything? It's like after shadow haunt, you didn't want me anymore" Musa was asked in wondering.

"No Musa, you got it wrong..." Riven continued to reassure her.

"I just don't... well I never had a girlfriend before, it's never been easy for me. Growing up alone and all. I'm not exactly the best with people. I thought leaving you alone would be the easier option". Riven looked at Musa, she was getting closer to him...

"It's ok Riven." She felt sympathy as the tears on her face began to dry up. They both leaned in for a kiss. Their lips dance together with that caressing touch, their eyes shut and their noses touched for one last time.

5 minutes later, the rain had finally cleared up; Musa was warm enough and so she harnessed enough powered to feed into the bike. Musa mustered up her energy once more to lift them off the ground and off they went. Back to Alfea.

Despite Destik and Jared still being out there and Musa's father arranging a princess ball... nothing else could seem to matter on this very much glistening night.

"I love you..."

Honestly, I think this chapter is SHIT. - It's not attention seeking... I just don't think it's that good (especially since it's a key chapter in the story). lol
