The Battle

“What do we have here…?” I was in shock trembling with fear… I couldn’t let him close.

“Shine stay behind me.” Bolero looked just as scared as I did but I knew he didn’t care for his own life but mine. I again had put him in the firing line and it was my fault. Bolero would deny it any day.

“Aww playing the valiant hero again are we? Going to save your dear husband from me again? Funny I thought he was the ‘knight in shining armour’, not you.” He kept his green emerald eyes locked on me the entire time.

“No I just know why you want him now…”

“Oh do you please tell…”

“You want him so you can negotiate your way to Equestria’s ruler because you know I wouldn’t risk his life to protect it.”

“Oh really well you just gave me a plan B if my plan A doesn’t work so thank you, your highness.”

“Oh shit.”

“Oh shit indeed.” While Bolero had him distracted I ran out of our chambers and a bit down the hall. I came to a shield crest with 2 swords behind it. I grabbed both swords and the shield hit the ground. I shouted while I ran back to our chambers. “HELP THERE IS AN INTRUDER IN THE PALACE.”

“Oh well I should certainly come to you for a plan on defeating Celestia.”

“Bolero, for Celestia’s sake, stop giving him idea’s and run!” With that I pushed bolero behind me as I handed him a sword. I raised mine to Morphalis’ throat, backing him up to the wall.

“Now who is the dumb one for not bringing a weapon, when you come to attack? Get to your knees.” He did as he was told. This shocked me.

“Wow, no wonder you was captain at your age. You were so defiant, so confident. I will have to let you take control in bed tonight.” I blushed and instinctively looked at Bolero.

I then felt my hand being pushed. I immediately reacted. I moved so fast I nearly had his head off.
“Woah watch what you do with that thing!”

“You shouldn’t have moved… I GAVE YOU AN ORDER!” This made even Bolero flinch. I shot him a narrow and angry look. Morphalis smirked.

“Oh yeah and I’m giving you this…” Taking me by complete surprise he shot a spell at me. Stunning me and then while moving round the sword he took it. He stood behind me and the sword was around my throat. Bolero moved to protect me but wasn’t fast enough. “1 more step and I have your husband’s life.” Bolero froze. “Drop your sword, get your back against that wall, facing me and I let him go.”

“No Bolero don’t it’s a trick. Please run and get Celestia. Run!!! Please.”

“Baby I can’t risk your life… I love you too much.”

“Please Bolero he wouldn’t kill me why would he?? He kills me Celestia has him.”

“No, baby I’m not risking your life.”

“BOLERO!!! PLEASE… if he wanted me dead he would have killed me before the wedding and taken my place not yours.” I could see the trap but Bolero wouldn’t risk me. I love him but sometimes he annoys me.

“Baby…”

“Enough. Against that wall now or I kill him!” I watched helplessly as Bolero dropped the sword, walking to the wall. “Go shut the doors to this bed chamber and place the sword across.” Again Bolero did what the bug said. He then walked back to the wall. Bolero sat against it watching me and him. “Good.” Before I had a chance to realise what was happening. He was above me. Within 60 seconds I had gone from a sword to my throat to being straddled on mine and bolero’s bed. The sword now aimed at my heart.

“WHAT THE FUCK… Get off me you barsta….” Before I could finish my sentence Morphalis’ lips locked with mine in a kiss.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Bolero move to a better angle he then saw the sword and froze. Morphalis didn’t like this. He let the kiss go.

“I told you to stay at the wall. Seems you get a punishment for your husband’s behaviour pet.” I screamed as I felt the sword against my chest running down creating a shallow cut from my throat to my waist. As the sword cut my fur and flesh it also cut through my top. It would leave a nasty scar but it didn’t do that much damage it just stung a lot. “What a lovely chest you have pet.” He winked.

“Get the fuck off my husband.” I heard Bolero scream before bolting on to the bed pushing Morphalis off. This sent Morphalis falling on the floor and rolling into the wardrobe door. “You okay baby…”

“Yeah I will be fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeBOLERO!!!” I pushed him back off the bed rolling backwards towards the entrance to the chamber as the sword flew past straight into the glass double doors to the balcony shattering it. The sword stopped before it fell off the balcony. Morphalis stared daggers at me. He shot a spell at me. The spell created chains around the tops of my hooves and my wrists and chained me to each bed post. He then disabled my magic. I was stuck.

“I will play with you later.” This sent horrible images into my head and made my blood run cold. He walked past the bottom of the bed. Morphalis grabbed the chain and checked it. He then proceeded over to get the other sword. Bolero had hit his head on the door and was dazed. He got up as Morphalis walked over to him. The door had done some damage. He had a swollen nose and blood on his lips. Although he was defenceless he still tried to look imposing.

“Don’t you dare! Kiss my husband ever, ever again! Hear me!” Why did Bolero open his mouth…?

“Oh yeah and who’s going to stop me?” As he said this he walked back to me and locked lips with me I glared at Bolero. Bolero mouthed ‘I’m sorry baby’ and turned to get the sword out of the door. I could see the door was giving him some trouble so I did the only thing I could… regrettably I kissed back. It felt disgusting but we had to overpower him somehow. Anyway it was working. Morphalis opened his mouth and I again accepted. His tongue exploring my mouth I hated it and wanted to kill him. I was starting to regret not cutting his head from is shoulders earlier…
He placed his free hand on my hip and pushed his weight down. I pushed up as he was hurting me. He broke the kiss.

“See I told you wouldn’t stop me.” He looked up and I smiled Bolero had the sword free all but the tip. Morphalis bolted at him. In a panic Bolero dropped the sword. He picked it up and held it to strike Morphalis. I heard a scream as Morphalis moved away. I saw my worst nightmare Bolero was badly injured. Morphalis had sliced Bolero’s arm off. Bolero was on his knees, crying in pain. Blood pouring on to the carpet. With no energy left he stayed there.

“Baby…” I was on the verge of tears.

“Well I was intending on taking you both with me back home but it seems only 1 of you will be coming.” He lifts Boleros head by his chin. “Shame it would have been nice to have the prince of love as my slave but it seems I only get my pet.” He then looked at me… “Look what you have done pet! Now I will have to dispose of your husband before we go.” A sadistic grin plastered on his face.

“Please no let’s go I will go with you. Please just let me call someone to help him and I will go with you.”

“Aww if only you had said that the first time… then maybe this wouldn’t be happening but a King doesn’t leave work unfinished. Plus I want you to watch.” He grabbed Bolero by the hair a made him stand. He made him stand left of the bed. With little strength Bolero punched Morphalis in the face and fell for me.

“Baby I’m sorry. I should have listened to you I’m so sorry. This is my fault please don’t blame yourself.”

Morphalis grabbed Bolero hard and yanked him back, blood still staining the carpet. I was fully crying.

“Baby I’m sorry. Please just let him go... You can still take him with us. Please.” I didn’t want him to hurt Bolero anymore…

I heard the doors to the main chamber being banged.

“Fine!” With a flash of his twisted horn. We were out of our chamber. We were sitting in a black carriage. Bolero’s head rested on me. Morphalis was on Bolero’s left and I was on his right. This will hurt but you won’t die… yet…”

Morphalis magically took hold of bolero’s shoulder. He stretched the skin around the shoulder over the open flesh where Bolero’s arm once was. He took a magic needle and stitched it shut. The bleeding stopped.
