"Look at you. Always waiting on my hand and foot, coming to me everytime I snap of my fingers," Will said, a sneer twisting his pretty features.

Scarlet could barely move, the cold kiss of the metallic chains binding her ankles and her wrists, a ball gag muffling her painful protests.

It wasn't the first time Will had done this, but this was the first time that he had done it against her will. She watched in fear as he rose the whip in the air, the tip hitting her skin and creating a thin line of blood.

Please stop, Scarlet wanted to say but each time she tried to speak William grew more irritated and the smack of the whip became louder and more painful.

Scarlet screamed in pain, her body slouching as it became unbearable, her mind barely conscious.

Rough hands grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into a pair of icy blue eyes, "Look at me when I'm talking to you bitch. You are under my control, you listen to every word I say."

Scarlet could feel the fear within her tremble but something else took over. Anger and hatred surpassed that, boiling over the rimlike that of a hot pot left on a stove for too long.

Almost like she commanded the dream, Scarlet broke the chains, ripping away the ball gag in her mouth as her eyes never left Will.

For the first time she saw fear in the man's blue eyes, his pupils dilating with fright as she grabbed the whip from his hand, and snapping it between both of her hands, chains rattling with each snap.

"No more," she heard herself growl, "Never again will I allow you to lay a hand on me. I will no longer be your slave!"

It was almost as if the vision was a piece of glass, cracks appearing everywhere before shattering, only to reveal the ocean blue.

Corals surrounded her, all of them coiling around each other beautifully into columns.

She could hear the soft bells of laughter bouncing about, the warmth providing a soothing balm around her angered state.

"You've finally come," a voice said, soft and smooth and so very near.

Something materialized in front of her, wisps of red swirling around to reveal a mermaid. Curves that formed ample hips, a bosom that was elegantly covered by a cloth, held by red jewels that dipped into her stomach. Red hair flamed out from her olive skin, equally red eyes glowing from beneath her lashes.

While the creature was beautiful, she noticed a black whole at the center of her

"Alas, I have finally found you."

*******

Morgan felt completely blind, the last things he had heard were Scarlet's muffled cries and Atlantis' animalistic growls. But as the black slime covered his ears, he was drowned in complete darkness. He could feel the magic pulsing through the goo, wrapping his body in an icy cacoon.

He could feel the magic make its way into his mind, the magic he had in his own body building up to fight against the invasion.

Memories flitted across his mind, the fear and scars that accompanied them nearly made his strong resolution break, but the screams that came from his beloved urged him to push further.

With a loud roar, he let the magic release, breaking the spell.

He felt his lungs take in more oxygen than they were previously getting.

His eyes darted up to one who dared to harm them but all he saw was the prince, frantically trying to pry the cell open with his bare hands while a burly merman rushed to take the keys from the prison guard.

Morgan tried to peel himself away from the goo, his eyes darting over to Atlantis and Scarlet, their bodies deathly still.

"Atlantis!" Morgan cried, watching the goo fade away from his lovers face, a single golden eye visible, wide with unadulterated fear, almost as if the nightmare he was seeing was real.

Morgan tugged but his body was quickly released along with Atlantis's and Scarlet's when the cell door finally opened.

The witch darted towards his lover while Rubyn rushed towards Scarlet's side.

The young woman was frozen, her skin frighteningly pale with red welts across her white flesh and her with eyes completely wide. She seemed limp in Rubyn's arms, the young prince already shouting for a healer.

But what Morgan noticed was the bright red glow that came from her long red hair.

So soon? he thought, making him let out a breath of relief, but for some reason it also made him worry.

Lilith grinned, her teeth glinting from the darkness of the dungeons as her violet eyes glowed, watching the human remain completely still in the prince's arms.

"Finally," she whispered, "Now all I need is that precious gem."

A/N:

A thousand apologies for not updating sooner than I had hoped. Apparently my writer's block is more severe than what I had expected, hence the short chapter. The only positive side is that I have found the source of it. .

Heterosexual relationships Dx

Now I know love is love, but I find my creative juices in homosexual relationships. So after I complete this one book, the rest are going to be based in same sex relationships, so for those who comment, "Please, no more gay stuff." (Yes, there are some people), I'm warning you before you starting doing your hateful word vomit. Take in mind that I'm going to pull through and finish this v.v Wish me luck.

Now here, have some love. I've been pretty much taking in some unhealthy doses of it xD
