Love is Strange

Chapter 30

" Caroline! I beg you! LISTEN! On that fateful day- AHHH!" 

Caroline's Beetlebike rushed directly to Sugar Plum's location on purposely knocking her down. The beetle watched with no sympathy whatsoever as the winged woman fell to ground getting even more entangled in his owner's hair. Said hair cushioned the trapped escaped prisoner's landing. Sugar didn't feel thing besides the princess's powerful hair tighten it's hold without causing any injury or breathing issues. She opened her eyes confused and shocked slowly looking up at the beetle who stared down with no guilt or remorse over it's actions.

" That was mean,Axel. Do it again when I whistled. " Caroline called out impressed.

Rowan's critterbike raced a lap around Sugar and his sister before he parked right next to Caroline. In his hand was the staff with Sugar's unique and tiny prison cell still attached. The other Rock trolls ran onto scene trying to catch up with their king. Some panted out of breath falling on their knees or leaning against the nearest person or the fallen dead tree. Roxy dragged Vang not letting collasp until they finally made it to the rest of the group. The second Roxy let go of his hand Vang dropped like a rag doll. The King of Rock glared at Sugar Plum's direction steadily getting off his critterbike. Sugar's eyes widen when she saw her familar magical trap for a cell and desperately struggled to wiggle her way out of Caroline's hair.

" Not Bad. " Rowan smirked then turned his head to Caroline. " You look like crap."

"I love you too..." Caroline rolled her eyes.

Before Sugar could even speak,the magical ball of thread touched her head sucking her like a vacuum inside. Her body shrunk to be even tinier than a glowbug. She could no longer be measured in inches. The Trairy spun around dizzily until she stablized herself. Her eyes narrowed mid crossing her arms. Her back turned to face the Royals.

"This will never happen again..." Rowan declared glaring at the returned convict.

" Killjoy... You all ruined my night out. " Sugar pouted.

Princess Caroline tended to her dark locks as they returned back to it's natural state. Roxy pulled Vang back on his feet while a handful of Rockers walked back to their beetles. The primcess's beetle landed next to his owner putting her in the middle between two critters. Most of the loyal to King rockers assumed that the worst was over hoping to go back to their daily lives. Having two hunt downs was thrilling,panic fuel and adrenaline rushed but, after failing to do the first of a trespasser then having to deal with thier angry King and an escaped convict that almost turned their city into a Valentine's Day movie they wanted to rest. That was enough drama for the eventful day. Nothing could top what has already happened or at least that's what they thought. 

" I'm going home... Don't bother me. " Caroline climbed onto Axel.

Rowan was too focused on glaring at his current favourite person to hate turning more deadly and angry. Axel walked away from everyone and took off seconds before her brother's rage returned. The King roared shaking the staff.  The imprisoned woman was tossed around unable to regain any balance due to the intense shaking. Everyroom around the furious troll,except for his critter,stepped back to avoid getting involved.

" HOW?! WHERE IS THAT POP TROLL THAT HELPED YOU ESCAPE? WHAT DID YOU DO? " Rowan paused no longer shaking poor Sugar. " What is that?"

She poorly hid the bottle behind her back. " What is what?"

" Did you make another damn potion?! " He growled 

Rowan reached in through the yarn threads with force roughly grabbing the bottle to Sugar's dismay. She latched on and pulled as hard as she possibly could but, her efforts were fruitless. Rowan played dirty by harshly shaking again shortly and pulled out the bottle of flames. The nearest Rocker was handed the staff. The heat and flaming power inside the glass changed colours unstable and rapid once more.
