Ok guys sorry about the wait I had to rewrite this one before I could post it. Thanks to KatherineBud15 for checking this one over. Enjoy :)
Destiny walked calmly into Skeletor's throne room. He was sitting down and he looked pissed. "Did you help them escape?"
"Yes."
"Why did you help them escape?" Skeletor demanded angrily. "Why did you say I was afraid of you? You don't scare me, you've never scared me." Destiny said in a calm and even tone that surprised even her. "Oh I don't, do I? We'll have to see about that." He spat viciously.

Skeletor tried everything he knew about torture. No matter what he did she refused to show fear. She was as sarcastic as she could be, even long after she had lost her voice from screaming. She insulted him, refusing outright to give into him.
She didn't regret helping them get out. For one it meant He-Man wouldn't come to Snake Mountain, which in turn would protect the person she desperately had to protect, for another, if the positions were reversed and she had been captured, Skeletor would have hurt her the minute the door was open, but the two who had come to save the prince looked relieved almost happy when they had him and were out of the mountain. And letting them go was also revenge against Skeletor's unnecessary insult to her. She had a feeling there was more to it than simply letting them go, she knew Skeletor he wouldn't have tortured her over that and as far as she knew he didn't have a trap planned, he had just taken the prince because he had wanted to. It was a pointless move. He kept saying he needed her for some old plan and she had to be loyal. As to what that plan was she had no idea.
* one month later *
She could no longer move. She had to be dragged from the dungeons to the throne room and back. She wouldn't last much longer in this hell-hole. She hoped Skeletor would try some stunt to capture He-Man soon or maybe He-Man would try to find her first. "Either would be useful." She thought to herself as the dark dungeons faded from her sight.
Skeletor was furious. She had ruined his plan, the prince was supposed to stay he wanted Destiny to bring him food and drink. Skeletor had hoped his little insult would annoy her enough to be nice and help the prince by giving him better meals or talking to him. He hadn't expected her to free him. That had ruined everything, he hadn't stayed long enough to love her. That was clear when no one showed up to help her. Now it seemed as if he had pushed her too far, it had gone beyond a simple punishment, now he had to force her to be loyal again. He had to scare her into submission, then he had to find a way to try the original plan again.
In the meantime he needed something to do. His minions were becoming bored. He had to find something for them to occupy themselves. A bad plan leading to a terrible defeat on their end would deter them for a while at least.

Teela woke with her head pounding. She tried to focus through the pain trying to remember where she was or how she had gotten here.
"Oh that's right." She said to herself. She had been checking some strange readings in the crimson valley. She had been worried that somehow the seal around Dark Dream had been tampered with. Skeletor had shown up and grabbed her she remembered him shouting at her father and Adam to send He-Man to get her. She sat up and looked around her. She was on the floor in a cell. It was dark and she took a minute to let her eyes adjust. She could see another cell across from her, there was someone in it but she couldn't tell who. Was it someone else Skeletor had taken in order to trap He-Man? Teela didn't recognize the figure. They were extremely thin all skin and bone they, clearly, had been here for a while. Then Teela noticed the torn pale grey dress and dull blonde hair. She gasped as it finally clicked on who the figure was. "Destiny?" She asked softly in case someone was nearby. There was blood stains on her dress and dried blood in her hair. "Destiny." Teela whispered a little louder.
Destiny heard someone whisper her name but she no longer had the strength to move. She tried to identify the voice but they were whispering. It sounded like a woman but it wasn't Evil-Lyn. Evil-Lyn wouldn't be whispering. She wanted to ask but the darkness was claiming her again. "Oh well." She thought to herself. She didn't have a voice anymore anyway.
If Destiny could hear Teela, she didn't reply. Teela thought back to when they first met. She had pointed a sword at the girl. It was clear that she was unarmed but Teela couldn't take the risk. Evil-Lyn had used other forms to trick her before and Teela had learned the hard way not to trust appearances. But the young woman had helped them and now she looked to be in bad shape, most likely as a direct result of her going against Skeletor.
Teela knew she had to get Destiny out of here to somewhere that she could recover and hopefully get some answers, or at least so that Teela could apologize for threatening her with a sword when all the girl wanted to do was help them.
