This Means War

Matthew smirked when she shut the door, "That's a beautiful gift." HE said as he started to pull off his shirt. He walked towards her, "tHough you realize that if i really wanted you i could just use you whenever i want." HE said as he ran his fingers through her hair. Matthew smirked at he let his fingers grip her hair and pull slightly. "Is that clear love?" He asked as he kissed her neck.

---

Holly frowned when she was kicked to the ground. She glared at him, "Go fuck yourself." She spat at him. She watched as Zacky was shoved tot eh ground next to her. Holly closed her eyes hoping to get this all over with. Odds were that they would be killed and she would never see Zacky again. Though she knew who to blame for this.....Matthew. "You're brother is dead to me if i see him again." She said to Zacky as they pulled her up.

Thorn

"Crystal clear, my King," Thorn smiled as Matthew began pressing his lips a bit more roughly to her neck, causing her to hold back a moan, "Although...I must warn you...I never did it with a man before."

Matthew slowly pulled away with a slight look of shock, "Really?"

"Yes," she grinned rather wickedly, her fingers stroking his amber strands that rested to his shoulders, "Unless you want to change that tonight...I be more than willing," she smiled, noticing the pure lust in his eyes.

At that point, she knew that she had him.

---

Zack

"Escort these beasts to the cottage nearby," the leader nearly spat out in pure disgust from the sight of Zack and Holly, "Our negotiations will not be easy on them."

"Yes sir," said a soldier, beginning to drag Zack with him while the others grabbed Holly.

The walk was rather a bit short, but right from walking in Zack could see the pure shock, fear, and hatred in all the faces of the people who lived amongst the grounds. Zack had a horrible feeling about all of this. The men did not think twice before literally throwing the two in a large cage within a house of straw with guards keeping check on the two, "Enjoy your stay, freaks!" said a soldier.

Matt smirked, "Oh i'm willing to change that." HE said as he kissed her. He smirked as he removed her dress then picked her up, laying her on the bed. Matt removed his shirt, climbing on top of her. He kissed down her neck, letting his hands move up her sides. HE was glad that she was finally giving into him. he enjoyed having control of pretty much everything int he kingdom.

---

Holly looked at Zachary, moving over to him, "Are you okay baby?" She asked him as she let her fingers move over his cheek as he looked at her. She knew that it was obvious they probably wouldn't make it out of here alive. She rested her head on his shoulder, wrapping her arms around him.

Thorn

A grin was forming on Thorn's face once Matthew's lips moved across her neck, causing an involuntary soft moan to hum during the sounds of his wet kisses against her delicate skin. Her body has never been touched like this and she knew that even the great King knows when he sees a woman that has never been "marked". Thorn knew that Matthew would mark her as his own and only his alone....yet, she was not protesting in any way shape or form.

Her hands gently went over his bare broad shoulders, her nails grasping into his skin that caused him to bleed but knew that it turned him on to no end by the sound of his growl. This was Thorn's plan to gaining control of everything he owns in his grasp; it was a gateway into his mind and strength.

"Such a feeling I never felt before..." she breathed, referring to all the sensual kisses along her skin that made her release sparks of arousal.

---

Zack

"Holly...if anything were to happen, you must run," Zack said with a soft sigh, "Do not hesitate to run far and wide...but that is when I give you the chance... I do love you, Holly..." he whispered, kissing her lips gently while leaning against her body so she could hold him in a loving embrace.

"This entire war must be stopped...and only finding the Ancient One can solve the answers to ending this horrific war that killed so many of our kind," Zack breathed, trying to get sense into Holly's mind, "Thorn must be stopped...her dark side I mean... It is only soon when she will destroy not just the kingdom...but the entire realm."

Matthew removed her close, kissing her deeply, letting his hands move down her sides. She kissed along her neck after removing the rest of his clothing. "So so beautiful." He said as he let his hand move down and began to rub her. He kissed her deeply, wanting to have all of her right now, but he knew that he had to start out slow with her. Matthew was happy with the soulless monster he had created.

---

Holly let her fingers press harder into his side as they sat there and she listened to him. "I don't want to leave without you." She whispered. She continued to rest her head on his shoulder, "I love you too." She said, kissing him again. She watched him for a moment, "How can she be stopped though?" She asked as she watched him for a moment.

Thorn

Thorn's body flinched lightly from his touch between her legs, feeling a stimulation she never felt before. Sparks of pleasure were now shocking through her entire body, forcing a soft pleasing moan to release from her throat. Her delicate petite hands moved along every trace of his abdomen, taking the time to feel around his smooth skin and warmth that aroused her even more. Matthew's lips were gentle against hers, which was surprising of how desperate he wanted to take her in the first place.

Thorn gasped lightly when two of his fingers were inserted into her as preparation to get her slightly adjusted to what was coming for her, "Mmm," she hummed against his lips, her tongue tracing over his lower one before penetrating his mouth.

---

Zack

"That dark part of her needs to be ripped from her..." Zack said, wincing a bit at the stinging of the small collar around his neck, "That way, more peace can be put between us and the rebels... She could do something to stop all of this...she has the power too. But there's one problem..."

"What?" Holly asked in a soft whisper, her fingertips stroking his cheek.

Zack closed his eyes, his arms holding Holly close to him in a warming embrace, "Matthew is in love with the darker part of her...and would do anything to keep it... He will be way too stubborn to fall for our idea to stop her evil deeds.. What we saw in that ballroom a while ago was nothing compared to what she is capable of..."

Matt moaned as he kissed her deeply. Once he felt she was ready he laced hsi fingers with hers as she pushed into her slowly. He groaned as the feeling he got when he began to thrust his hips. "God you're so beautiful." He growled as he kissed down her neck. HE nipped at her skin as he began to move a little faster.

---

Holly looked at him, "You need to get your brother under control." SHe said. She jsut had a feeling that Matthew would listen to Zacky. She rested her head on his shoulder, "HE's becoming foolish and is going to get us all killed for his own personal gain.

Thorn

"Ah!" Thorn gasped out when she felt his full length push all the way into her, her inner walls stretching to try to accommodate his size.

Matthew wasted no time and instantly began thrusting into her, seeming to not care about trying to get her used to him. Thorn knew that he only cared about his own needs and would do anything to satisfy them. Clawing at the back of his bare shoulders, Thorn arched her neck back and tried to focus on the pleasure more than the pain.

After all, Matthew was definitely no small man....and Thorn knew she at least bled a little bit from the harsh penetration.

---

Zack

"Yes...what you say is true," Zack sighed, his lips touching her cheek before he returned to leaning against her more comfortable, despite the pain from the collar around his neck, "I'm sure we can figure something out."

Hearing footsteps reach their cell, the leader of the rebellion stood in front of them, the bars separating any close contact with each other, "So tell me, devils. What did they do with Thorn...and what do they plan to do? You will tell us everything or face harsh consequences," he snarled.

Matthew groaned as he held onto her hips. "Fuck you feel so good baby." He said as he kissed down her neck. He let his hands move up her sides and kissed her deeply as he moved his hips faster. He liked having her with him.

----
Holly held onto him as she saw the man approach. She didn't respond as the guy spoke to them. She looked at Zachary, knowing she should let him do most of the talking.

@ Divergent

Thorn

His growls and words were surprisingly turning Thorn on more than ever. The way his body pressed and rubbed against hers; the way his lips devoured her mouth so savagely. Her hand tangled in his long amber locks, tugging at them slightly with each thrust he did. It was only moments before he would decide to bite into her neck and devour the thick nectar that he had been craving for since she first got here. And honestly, Thorn was willing for it...because after they hit their peaks, Matthew would slowly go into a painful state of madness from not realizing that Thorn would fight to conquer his mind as pure revenge.

Feeling a hot pressure knot up in her lower body, Thorn couldn't help the moans form from her mouth, her head moving more to the side for him to have easy access to her neck.

---

Zack

Holding Holly close with his one arm clinging on to her, Zack glanced up at the angered Man and thought intently before speaking out his mind of the whole plan that was in effect.

"King Matthew...is using her as his loyal mistress," Zack began, coughing up some blood from the collar's effects, "He will use her to make her his queen to have more control over the realm. The only thing that is bad...is that she will use her abilities to overthrow the King...and start a full war against everything in the realm...including you. She may be part of the rebellion...but the darker part of herself is increasing with each passing hour... Soon, all she will crave for is pleasure, desire, blood, and massacre....and it won't stop..."

Zack swore he saw the leader's eyes nearly bulge out from his sockets, the complete shock written all over him, "That's...that's insane!"

Matthew bit into her neck, drinking from her. He moaned as the taste as he hit his climax at the same time. He groaned as he enjoyed the pleasure he was getting from all of this. Matthew pulled away after a bit and looked down at her, kissing her deeply. "So beautiful."He said as he licked his lips. He smiled as he kissed her again and let his hands run down her sides.

---

Holly held onto Zack as he spoke, watching the man. She rested her head on his shoulder not wanting anything bad to happen. She could see the blood that trickled down his neck from the collar, wiping it away with her thumb. She was extremely worried that they weren't going to make it but Zachary knew how to manipulate the people around him and she loved that.

@ RavenArtist93

@ Divergent

Thorn

It was an all honesty by the fact that Thorn rather enjoyed the pleasure (and pain) that the king gave her, knowing that he himself was now attached to her and her alone. The feeling of him releasing inside of her was enough to make her go off the edge, something that she never experienced and damn well loved. Running a hand through his amber hair as he pulled away, Thorn smiled and took know hesitation to kiss him back when Matt pressed his mouth to hers in a rather sensual kiss.

It was a chemistry that would never falter...unless she refused otherwise.

With Matthew not even wanting to get off of her after pulling out of her, which Thorn didn't mind, he purred lowly as she stroked his hair while he lied his face in the crook of her neck, "Did you enjoy that, my King?"

---

Zack

"Believe it or not...it's the truth," Zack glared, wincing at the more burning sensation from the collar.

"F-Fine..." the leader huffed, "Enjoy your stay here in this cell within our isolated shelter. I will deal with you in the next day when I can think clearly," he growled, before locking the doors of the small house, "Everybody get to bed and keep watch!"

Zack sighed in relief that they could be alone, but was still a bit scared by the fact of what was planning to happen. Slowly letting himself lie on the ground with a pillow that was thrown in for some sort of comfort, Zack winced loudly from the pain, Holly immediately going to his side to comfort him. His hand reached up and stroked her face, "I love you...Holly..."

Matthew nodded, "Yes i did." He whispered as he kissed her neck. He moved so he was laying next to her and put his arm around her waist. He held her close as he put out the lights then slowly started to fall asleep. Everything in his life was perfect and he saw no problem with what was happening now.

The next morning he awoke and got dressed. He kissed Thorn then made his way down the hallway. "Where is my brother?" He asked grabbing Haner by his arm. Matthew may have been arguing with his brother but it was his little brother and he was concerned about him.

---

Holly moved to Zack's side and took his hand in hers when he stroke her cheek, "I love you too...My king" She said as she kissed his hand. "We will be okay." She whispered. She laid down next to him and rested her head on his chest. She held him tightly keeping her eyes open, thinking of all the horrible things she would do to these people.

She woke up the next morning and sat up next to Zack. She looked over as a man walked by, knowing that if this collar wasn't on she could kill him with just one hand movement.

Thorn

Slowly waking up from the feeling of Matthew's lips against hers for just a few moments, Thorn groaned and stirred herself awake, smiling at the fact of how wonderful it was last night. Thorn was slightly sore, but yet she was such in a bliss of actually how good it felt to "make love" with her King.

Using her own powers, Thorn advanced on her hearing from a conversation down the hall. Her eyes narrowed on the door as Haner talked to Matthew.

"It...it has been reported that Zachary...is missing," Brian sighed in frustration, "Along with Holly. It seems that Thorn's rebels are getting furious with us keeping her and are doing drastic things to win her back."

---

Zack

Groaning himself awake from the throbbing pain in his neck by the small iron collar, Zack sighed and slowly opened his eyes to look up at Holly. His collar was tighter than Holly's and made his body a lot weaker. Zack knew that getting out of here was not going to be the best option, despite the fact that he can't even walk normally because of his loss in health.

"Matthew is going to be furious and is going to look for us..." Zack wheezed after letting out a raspy cough to clear out the fluids in his throat, "I don't even know if we will make it out alive..." Zack sighed, his hand gently stroking Holly's arm.

Matthew frowned, "Then go get them!" He yelled. "Now!" He screamed. He watched as Haner left then looked at Thorn when he found her. "When my brother returns you will take care of those so called rebels." He said. He was angry and he wanted everything to go as he planned. Matthew sighed as he sat on his throne, looking at the people in front of him. He looked at Thorn when she walked in, "My brother better be alive." HE said.

---

Holly looked at him, "We are going to be okay." She whispered as she rested her forehead against his. "Everything is fine." She whispered. Holly kissed him softly, "I love you so much Zachary." She said. She laid there with him and looked up when she heard the door smash opened. She was relieved to see Haner appear, "You need to get him out of here first." She told him. She helped Haner get Zachary up then watched as they carried him off. Holly walked into the castle watching as they laid Zachary in the main hall. She knelt by him and took his hand, "We are home now baby." she said to him.

---

Matthew appeared at the top of the stairs, seeing his brother. When Haner explained about the collars he looked at Thorn, "Remove them." He ordered.

@ RavenArtist93

@ Divergent

Thorn

Seeing Holly and Zack in pain with the collars was honestly a beautiful sight. She always despised the two, even during this dark side she still hated them. Smirking a bit to herself, she simply crossed her arms, "You honestly don't think they deserve it? Look, they go against your orders and now, they get their punishment."

"Take these collars off, you witch!" Holly screamed at her, knowing she had enough.

Thorn sneered at Holly and curled her hand towards her, smirking when Holly began gasping and choking on the force around her collar that closed in on her throat. Holly pried at the collar as it constricted harder and harder, "Tsk, tsk, when will you learn?"

---

Zack

"S-Stop...stop Thorn!" Zack croaked out, watching her gaze turn to him before she released Holly from her strong power.

Holly dropped to the ground and gasped for air, coughing up some blood on to the floor. Thorn looked at the two and waved her hand, the collars immediately unlocking and falling to the floor with a loud 'clang'. The soldiers were staring in full fear at how terrifying Thorn had become.

"Consider that a warning, little girl," Thorn snarled at Holly before leaving the throne room, not even acknowledging Matthew.

Zack sat there in disbelief, rubbing his throat from the scarring around the skin that should eventually heal.

Matthew glared at Thorn as she walked away then walked after her. He grabbed her arm, gripping it, "You don't do anything unless i tell you to!" He yelled at her. He threw her to the ground, "I don't care how strong you think you are. I can have you exterminated whenever i please. So if you ever pull a stunt like that again i will have you beheaded in front of everyone."He threatened as he glared down at her. Thorn was strong, but Matthew was a lot stronger from drinking her blood. "You hurt Zack and you hurt me got it bitch!" He yelled at her.

---

Holly glared as the doors closed, "I'm gonna kill her." She said as she went to go after her. Haner grabbed Holly, "No Holly Matthew will take care of her. Holly was a lot stronger than she was made out to be and she was suppressing her powers until she needed to use them. Holly looked at Zack then walked over and took his hands. "I want her dead." She said.

@ RavenArtist93

@ Divergent

Thorn

Thorn was honestly not phased by Matthew's anger whatsoever. Because what Matt didn't know, was that not only did he gain strength by her powers...but he now was connected to her, making Thorn have the advantage to control his motives if she wanted. Such motives would be his anger, his strength, and...his power.

Thorn slowly stood up and smiled, knowing that it pissed off Matt more than anything that she held a smile on her face, out of all things, "You may have drank my blood...but you really don't know what I am capable of...do you?"

Snapping her fingers, the shadowy skeleton creature she created, named Grim, appeared out of her shadow and grabbed Matthew by the neck, holding him in the air. He struggled to be let go, but the creature was out of Matt's control.

"You have no power here once I am finished with what I want," Thorn said, her eyes gleaming a bright red around her irises and her horns on her head shifting from short ones to a bit longer ones.

---

Zack

"Holly," he groaned in pain, his hand rubbing his neck a bit before he stood up to stand next to her, "Don't go off on her...not yet. She is getting too powerful...and we need to destroy her when the time comes. But only the dark side of her."

"Why not just destroy her completely?" Holly growled lowly.

Zack glanced at her, "Because...that will only create the worst outcome: a total neverending war against us, ending with us dying first. The rebels are more dedicated than you think. They will not think twice...nor will the Ancient One underneath us like it."

Matthew glared at her once he was released, "I will have you killed."He threatened. He looked at Grim then his eyes went black and he destroyed the beast. He looked at Thorn, "feel free to try to make more i have no problem killing them." He said as he walked otu of the throne room, slamming the door. He was angry and he need to let off some steam.

---

Holly looked at him, "I'm not dealing with this." SHe said to him. "You're brother started this and he can finish it on his own." She said as she walked away, then upstairs. She walked into their bedroom then sat on the balcony and wrote in her diary. Holly figured she would just stay out of it until everything was taken care of. She sighed when she heard Zachary walk onto the balcony, "What?" She said softly, looking at him.

Thorn

Thorn frowned when Grim turned into the pile of dust that Matthew left him as. Twirling her fingers, the dust immediately reformed back into her tamed partner-in-crime. Grim hovered back to his "queen" and confronted her, letting out a soft purr when her hand touched the top of his skull, "I'm sorry he did that to you, my dear. But I promise things will get better...that's why I need my 'noble steed'," she smirked darkly.

Walking rather fast and secretly to the barn to avoid getting caught by people who would turn against her at any cost, Thorn blasted some of the guards of the barn away from her sight, knocking them out instantly when they hit the wall from the powerful force. She needed to prove to Matthew that she was more powerful than anything...that is why she must get the Iron Crown, a powerful creation that was beheld by none other but the Ancient One...and she is the only one who can retrieve it.

Calming her dragon from interruption of her presence at such an unexpected moment, Thorn smiled at her noble beast, glad to know that it would follow her every motive whether it was evil or good. With Grim in her shadow, Thorn climbed on to her dragon's back and blew away the barn's roof with her abilities to give the dragon a clear reach to the sky. Using one swift movement of the wings, the dragon soared her to the sky, flapping against the headwinds.

Thorn glanced at the kingdom below, "I curse this kingdom in a plague unlike any other," she seethed, her hand pointing towards the kingdom as a line of black dust descended below.

---

Zack

"Babe...are you mad at me?" Zack asked, gaining more balance by holding on to the railing for support from the pain in his neck, "I-I'm sorry that you have to go through this...but stuff like this happens...evil goes about where ever you go. It is a part of life."

Zack walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her tiny torso, his face buried into her blonde hair that smelled of lavender, "You are the love of my life...and I know you are angry and terrified. But I'm trying my best to do what I can, okay? I love you very much, Holly..." Zack whispered in her ear before kissing the side of her head.
