Chapter II:

New found Love

After the next week or so Bandit and Courtney had become very good and close friends. So one day they were just playing and throwing a knife around (as usual). All of a sudden Bandit throws it perfectly straight up. "Don't move it, Bandit said, it looks cool." "okay I wouldn't." After Bandit left Courtney cranked up the music (considering that no one was around) and started dancing and singing. "I can't believe you didn't know I was here, said Ace." "Oh Ace um I'm just getting back to work." "Sure thing Courtney, just keep telling yourself that." Courtney turned the music back down and went to grab a bottle of water. When she came back all the lights were out. "Okay where you put all the light...." Ace put his hand over her mouth before she could even finish the sentence. He pulled her down to the ground and told her to be quiet. "Why do I need to be quiet?" "they will here you." "what, please tell me you don't still believe in monsters?" "I do, most people can't see then but I can. I don't want then to see me." Meanwhile Courtney had gotten up and tired to make her way to the counter. She got some matches when Ace realized what she had gotten. Quickly trying to find her in complete darkness they ran into each other and accidentally kissed. "Omg Ace are you okay?" Courtney was giggling and blushing (so was Ace). "Awe owe". "Ace are you okay?" "I landed on something sharp." Courtney realized it was the knife Bandit had thrown. She quickly turned him around and was getting ready to pull it out, when she heard the police out side. "Put your hands up, one of the police men yelled." Courtney put her hands up but they were covered in his blood. "Take her to jail and him to a doctor stat."

They put Courtney in a jail cell, where know powers can penetrate the bars. "Lets keep her until the boss comes". "Got it". The cell had no windows, it was a decent size, and was all glass. it was getting late and the guards had left. Courtney was getting ready for bed, when she heard a noise. "Psss Courtney." Courtney woke up suddenly. "Hello? Is anyone there?" "Courtney up here!" Ace was on the top of her cell. "Ace what are you doing here?" "I'm here to get up out!" Ace grabbed Courtney by the waist and hoisted her up. He guided her through the prison and out the building. "We are heading to Stamdown." Stamdown was a town of the ice kingdom. The ice princess lived and controlled the kingdom. "The ice kingdom? I'm fire this may not work well." "It will ill make sure your okay." "Thank you."

They headed down the road when someone stopped them and asked if Courtney was the escaped prisoner. "No she's not" Ace said to them." She's my Sister and we're just passing through." At that moment one of the men took out a gun and aimed it at Ace. Ace took out a blow pipe shot Courtney, grabbed her, and ran. Courtney woke up a few hours later. "Ugh where am I?" She asked herself. A young man walked by she got up, dusted her shorts off and asked where Dampton was. "Dampton! that's a good weeks journey back! Stamdown is the nearest town." Courtney's eyes widen and she began to shiver. "Thank you sir." Dampton is usually warm, so it's I'd for Courtney being from fire and all. But Stamdown is a cold place. She wore only a black no sleeved belly shirt, short shorts, and just some regular gym shoes. She began to freeze immediately. Ace walked up behind her and took her by the hand. "Your up! Good now we can go to Stamdown." "How did we get here so fast?" Courtney asked. "I'm from the shadows I move very fast." Ace wore a dark blue plaid shirt with ripped off sleeves, knee length shorts, and no shoes. Bandit wore no shoes also.

"We better start heading to Stampdown; it should be just a couples miles from here." Ace said. They came to a big gate. The gate was made out of ice, with some steal in it. It started to get colder and colder as they walked closer. Ace approched the man behind the ledge. "State your buissness son." "We would like to take shelther here for a night or so, may I speak to whoever is in charge?" "That would be Princess Iceas. As you walk in its the big castle on the right." "Thank you sir" Ace said politely. They both walked in and it began to get colder than usal, it was snowing! On there way Ace stopped and got Courtney a black leather jacket. It's not the warmest coat, but it would keep her warm. They approached the ice palace. It was a huge place, with stained glass windows, and it was blue and white since it was ice. They walked in, they didn't see anyone at first. "Hello?" Courtney yelled. "Give me just one moment please." A women walked out, she had blond hair almost white, pale blue sparkly eyes, and wore a beautiful blue sparkley gown that touched the grown. "Oh my, i'm so sorry for keeping you waiting! May I speak to whoever is in charge?" Ace stepped up not even giving Courtney a chance to speak. She didn't know how old he was. "May we stay here for the night or so?" Ace asked as they walked away. "Of course you may!" Icease said. She took Ace into a samll room; as they walked in Icease puled the straps of her dress off to make it fall to the ground. She was completely naked in front of Ace. Ace walked out and said "Courtney we're leaving." "What we just got here!" Ace grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out the door. "What happend in there?" Asked Courtney. "Nothing, and please don't ask me again." "Okay I won't."
