Gabe

I put my arms around Selene. Claudia looked furious. "So, what, you're together now?" she shouted. "That's just it?!"

I looked at her angrily. "Stop yelling," I said, annoyed. "It's none of your business."

"It is too my friggin business!"

"And how is it your business?" I snapped angrily my control on my temper slipping. "Um well let's see your the Summer Queen." She said speaking as if though to a five year old. I froze "I'm the what?" I whispered in disbelief. "The Summer Queen you have to restore Kelis full power." She said calmly. I looked at Keli who was weeping tears of sunlight and reaching towards me. I stepped back and whispered "No." I screamed "NO!!!" then reeled around and ran out of Gabes house. I heard Gabe shouting something at Keli and Claudia but I was to far away to hear him. I continued running until I reached my house and ran inside. I froze just inside the door realizing how it was. I heard the door slam and I ask edin a trembling voice "Who's there?" I felt a cold hand on the back of my neck and I fainted but before I could I heard a voice say "I am Tatiana the Winter Queen."I woke up and the first thing I was aware of was intense cold and pain. I sat up and rubbed the back of my neck. "Well well well look who's decided to wake up." A familiar voice said laughing slightly. I look and see a Fey in glamour. "I am Tatiana and you my dear are my prisoner." The Fey said conversationally stepping foreward. "What do you want with me?" I asked stepping back just realizing that I was in an ice cage. "I want my son out of the way." She hissed and I trembled terrified.

Gabe

"How could you just spring that on her?!" I yelled. I ran after Selene but her confusion and sadness was giving her strength as she ran. I ran but I couldn't find her. "Selene!" I yelled, my voice choked up.

*Thanks for changing it *

~Keli~

"Claudiaaa," I half-grumbled at her, rolling my eyes. "I thought you said I had to do that... erm... that wooing thing. Soften her up and all that."

Claudia pulled a face, looking seriously concerned as she nodded grimly. "I guess it just slipped out," she replied eventually. We both remained silent for a moment, trying to figure out what to do next. Both Gabe and Selene had run off... again...

"Hey, let's go round up those fey you mentioned earlier," I suggested suddenly, and Claudia looked surprised. "Shouldn't we get Selene?"

I paused. That was a good point. Hmm. After a moment of consideration I grinned again, starting out the door. "I'm bored of chasing Selene. Ever so fickle, that's the problem with me. Now, don't we have an army to raise?" And on the way, a new bride to pick up, apparently...

I hugged myself and shivered desperately. It was cold as hell. I started to sing " tried to kill the pain
but only brought more
so much more
I lay dying
and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
am I too lost to be saved
am I too lost?

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation

do you remember me
lost for so long
will you be on the other side
or will you forget me
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
am I too lost to be saved
am I too lost?

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation

I want to die!!!

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation

my wounds cry for the grave
my soul cries for deliverance
will I be denied Christ
tourniquet
my suicide." I hugged myself and shivered again.

Claudia

"I'm bored of chasing Selene. Ever so fickle, that's the problem with me. Now, don't we have an army to raise?" Keli said, raising an eyebrow.

"True," I said. "Fine by me. Let's go."

I pulled out my cellphone and texted Gabe desperate right now. "Help me." I whispered as I texted the same words. I closed my cellphone and hid it under my blouse praying that he would get back.

*Where is Selene?*

~Keli~

I grinned at Claudia as we flitted to the Rebel Fey base. Time to round up some new forces, hopefully. Many of the RF group were part of the noble Fey families; those to had been loyal to my family for millenia. I was certain that they would offer support in te fight against Tatiana.

Claudia knocked on the door, and it was opened after a brief pause.

*shes been kidnapped by Tatiana*

Gabe

After I received Sel's text, I replied, panicked, Where are you?

There was no answer. I aimlessly started asking people about where she could be. I suddenly heard voices and Selene's petrified voice.

I ran towards her.

Claudia

Keli and I walked inside. He peered around the room. "Huh. Terribly drafty in here, isn't it?" he said pleasantly.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Do us all a favor and stop complaining," I said. I couldn't help but grin, though.

The hawthorn fey stepped closer and I begged "No please." "Tell me dear then." Tatiana purred. "No." I whispered. They stepped closer and I flinched "Leave her." Tatiana ordered. I grabbed my phone and saw a text from Gabe "I don't know." I whispered as I texted.

Tatiana

I watched the little human girl. I saw no reason as to why i was kidnapping her- well maybe because she seemed to be quite a nuisance. But other than that there had to be some quality within her that was worth watching out for.

I saw her reach for her phone moments after I had saved her from the Hawthorn Fey.

"What are you doing?" I demanded my voice booming through my empty ice castle.

Selene
"I want to listen to music." I replied calmly. I flipped my phone open and turned up "Tourniquet" by Evanescence as loud as it would go. She glared at me and I returned the gaze calmly.

Tatiana

I narrowed my eyes. What did she think I was mentally retarded! I snorted and walked over to her picking up her little phone.

"Evanescence..eh?" I said a cold smile on my face. "I've always liked that particular band." I scrolled down her music listings and found what i would like to call my favourite Evanescence song.

You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.

"Now this is more like it." I said grabbing her phone and walking back to my seat. I grinned at her open mouth surprise.

"What can't an evil old lady like good music?" I asked turning the song up as high as i could.

Selene
I grinned back at her. "Good song choice although I prefer Sweet Sacrifice or Lose Control." I said calmly. " You don't remember my name.
I don't really care.
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?

Just once in my life,
I think it'd be nice,
Just to lose control, just once,
With all the pretty flowers in the dust.

Mary had a lamb.
His eyes black as coals.
If we play very quiet, my lamb,
Mary never has to know.

Just once in my life,
I think it'd be nice,
Just to lose control, just once.

If I cut you down to a thing I can use,
I fear there will be nothing good left of you." I sang calmly.
"But I love Snow White Queen as well." I said. " Stoplight, lock the door.
Don't look back.
Undress in the dark,
And hide from you,
All of you.

You'll never know the way your words have haunted me.
I can't believe you'd ask these things of me.
You don't know me.

You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you.

Wake up in a dream.
Frozen fear.
All your hands on me.
I can't scream

I can't escape the twisted way you think of me.
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep.

You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you

I can't save your life,
Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting.
I'm losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world divides.

You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you." I sang smiling as I lost myself in the soothing lyrics.
