Flames Pond and the Princess 4: Flames Pond Never Dies

Marry Me

Lucy's POV
I began to open my eyes. Everything was blurry. "Wake up your highness." A voice said. "Hey, wake up!"

Once everything was clear, I saw a familiar villain. "Rise and shine!"

I gasped. "Fuzzy Guy?! AGAIN?! Why are you here?!"

Fuzzy laughed. "I know, I know. Admit it. You missed me. But I don't have time to explain my awesome revival. There are more things to do other than having storytime with the Princess. Or should I say, Queen? Yes. I know about your mother's death."
"How did you know?"

"An old friend told me all about you." Fuzzy said.

"Who?"

Just then I heard a door open. Turning to my left I saw Jake being dragged in by Clyde.

"Jake?"

Jake was thrown to my feet. He looked as if he was beaten pretty badly. "Lucy..." he said in a weak tone.

"Your friend here." Clyde began. "Is a liar."

"What are you talking about?" I asked through clenched teeth. "Aren't you the liar here? After all you did drug me!"

Clyde kicked Jake in the back of the leg, hard. "Go on, Jake." Clyde demanded. "Tell her who you really are."

"He's right..." Jake admitted. "I haven't been a hundred percent honest with you."

"Jake? What are you talking about?"

"I'm... I'm not a Prince, Lucy." he began. "Never have been. And my name isn't Jake Thorn. It's... Jake Germany. I'm sorry I've lied to you for all these years. But I didn't have a choice."

"Oh, Jake..." I glared at Fuzzy and Clyde. "You'll both regret this! Let Jake go!"

Clyde's POV
Fuzzy and I laughed. "You'll have to do better than that, Princess!"

Just then Lucy kicked Fuzzy in the face, sending him flying to the door. He didn't scream in pain which was weird but it kind of made sense since he was basically like Darth Vader. However I was mad at Lucy for this.

I grabbed a knife, went behind her and was about to slit her neck. But Fuzzy came in directly before. "Stop!" he said.

I put the knife down.

"Are you braindead?" Fuzzy asked. "We can't kill her! I'm fine. Besides we need her if we're gonna catch Flames Pond. And if we kill her, Flames will freak."

"How do we know that Flames Pond is even alive?" I ask. "What if Thiessen is just trying to get a hold of his best friend here?"

"I have faith in Matt." Fuzzy says. "Besides he knows better than to lie to us. It's not in his character to lie. Well except for this once."

"What about Matt?" Lucy asked.

"He never told you of his little secret?" I asked. "Wait, of course not. However, you and your family is doomed. But there is a small... catch."

"And what would that be?"

"You've got flaws. Good flaws. You're beautiful and not to mention a bit sassy. Hehe..."

"Just get to the point!"

"My point is... marriage."

Lucy's POV
"What?! No way! I'm never marrying you Clyde, and you can't make me!"

"So you refuse? Haha, you're really hard to please. But I wasn't done talking. If you refuse, your so-called-friend will die. But, if you accept my hand, I'll let him live." He went up behind me and whispered, "The choice is yours. Choose wisely." He got back in front of me. "So what do you say?"

Jake spoke up. "Lucy..." he said. "Don't do it! He's a liar!"

"Shut it!" Clyde demanded. Fuzzy stayed out of the entire thing.

I looked at Jake, then at Clyde, then at my hand. My wedding ring was still on there. "I... I'll... I'll do it." I say.

Clyde smirked. "Good girl..."

"Lucy..." Jake said but I ignored him. Clyde and Fuzzy Guy was went to the door. "We marry tomorrow at dawn." Clyde said. "Don't get any ideas of escape. I have guards and security cameras in place both in and outside."

Then the two villains left.

Jake looked at me. "Lucy," he said. "What are you doing?"

"I couldn't let him kill you!"

"Lucy, you'll lose either way. You know he's gonna kill you!"

"I know..." I said. "But there's still hope. Trust me."
