Once Upon A Monster 4!

Chapter 21: Weakness!

Flashback!
    Catrine was cleaning up the kitchen when Merlin walked in from the back door, after tending to his garden. "Hey, are you okay?" Merlin asked as he walked behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist. She sighed and turned to face him, still in his embrace. "Not really." Catrine replied as she closed her eyes. Merlin kissed her on the forehead and hugged her tight as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "It'll be fine. Magica will find her way." Merlin stated and Catrine nodded as her head laid on his chest and her eyes glistened with tears. "I hope so." Catrine agreed with a sigh.
      There was a knock on the cabin door. "I'll get it." Merlin stated as he slowly let go of his girlfriend. "No, I've got it." Catrine reassured as she moved a strand of hair out of her face. "Are you sure?" Merlin asked and Catrine nodded with a small smile. "Yeah." Catrine replied and walked towards the door. Merlin decided to check on the brownies Catrine had made, as she opened the door to see two strangers. They were ice monsters, a female and a male. "Hi, is Merlin, the wizard here?" The girl asked and Catrine slowly nodded. "Uh, yeah. He's here." Catrine replied. "May we see him?" The girl asked and Icysis nodded. "Sure." Catrine replied as she let them in and closed the door behind them. Merlin walked in from the kitchen and gestured for them to sit on the couch, and they did. "What is the problem?" Merlin asked. "My sister." Icysis replied. "Snowa." Merlin stated and Icysis and Yeti pushed their eyebrows together as they looked at each other. "Yeah, how did you know that?" Icysis asked. "I see all and know all." Merlin replied and they nodded. "You help or not?" Yeti asked and Icysis sighed as she grabbed her boyfriends hand. "Sorry about him, he's very straight forward and literal." Icysis apologised. "I can see that, but it's okay." Merlin stated and Icysis nodded. "Do you think you can help? Or have something useful at all?" Icysis asked. Merlin started thinking, and came up with something. "I actually think I might have the perfect thing." Merlin replied. "That great! Yeti exclaimed as he and his girlfriend stood up. "She's too powerful at this point, and too stubborn and hurt and angry to stop the path she's heading." Merlin stated as he led them out back and past the garden, all the way to a shed, one that's larger then most sheds. "Catrine." Merlin stated and Catrine stepped up with a smile. She took off her chain necklace, that held a golden key. This shed is his magic room, and it's also protected by magic, the only thing that can get in to it. He trusted her more then anyone, so he gave her his valuable key to all of his magic. She unlocked the shed and put the necklace back on as Merlin walked in, with everyone following.

Real World!
      Alison walked out of Francine's ice cream shop. She wore her hair in a side ponytail with a short pink and brown winter like dress. She also had on pink high heel boots that had ice crystals, that were pink. She a pink ice cream milkshake. She smiled when she saw Harry's car and he stopped when he saw her. "Hey, need a ride?" Harry asked. He tried to act cool, as he always does. "Sure." Alison replied with a smile. Harry opened her car door and she got in, then he drove away.
    Harry parked outside of the mayors mansion, and they both got out. Harry led Alison to the porch and they both stood there, smiling at each other. "You look beautiful today. Well, you look beautiful everyday." Harry stated and Alison smiled as she blushed. "Thank you. That very sweet of you." Alison stated and Garry smiled. He gave her a kiss on the cheek, and was about to walk away. Then Alison pulled Harry to her by the arm, and kissed him passionately on the lips. They pulled away and they both smiled. "I have been wanting to do that." Harry stated and Alison laughed. "Good night, Harry." Alison stated. "Good night, Ali." Harry stated. Harry got into his car and waved to her, as she waved back, and he drive away. She smiled to herself, not realising that her dad was watching from the window. She walked inside and sighed happily as she leaned on the door and closed her eyes. "Abbey." Yeti stated. Alison jerked up and opened her eyes as she saw her dad standing there. "Dad." Alison stated. "Who that boy?" Yeti asked. "Just friend." Alison replied. "That didn't look like friend." Yeti stated and Alison sighed. "Okay, he my boyfriend." Alison stated. "Abbey." Yeti stated and Alison shook his head. "Dad, I'm adult. I can take care of myself and have a real relationship." Alison stated and Yeti sighed as he nodded his head. "Yeah, I guess you right." Yeti stated and Alison nodded with a small smile.

Flashback!
      Merlin turned on the lights as Catrine shut the door behind them. "Wow." Icysis stated as she looked around. "Yeah." Catrine agreed. She walked back over to her boyfriend, as they turned to face the ice monsters. "Here is all if my magical items, and they have all helped me at one point or another." Merlin stated. "None of them will kill her, right?" Icysis asked. "Well, yes. But not the one I have in mind for your sister." Merlin replied and Icysis sighed in relief. "The ones that kill are for the worst of the worst." Catrine stated. "Like the Dark One himself." Merlin added and Catrine nodded. "Yeah." Catrine agreed. "What you have in mind?" Yeti asked. Merlin turned around an grabbed an orb from a high shelf, and turned back around to look at the monsters again as he held it up for them to see. "This." Merlin replied. Icysis tried to grab it, but Merlin pulled it back, not letting her have it yet. "What is that?" Yeti asked. "A magical orb. It can suck a persons powers without harming them. Unlike the magic athame, which kills the person as it takes there powers." Merlin replied and they nodded. "Is it dangerous?" Icysis asked. "It can be, if its in the wrong hands.... Or if you don't know how to use it right." Merlin replied. "So, who's going to do it?" Icysis asked. "Well, Catrine and I were planning in leaving for a few days for business, but this needs to be taken care of soon, it seems. Although, this is my business that I must take care of, and I think Catrine might be able to stay here in order to do it." Merlin replied as he looked to his girlfriend, as she shook her head. "No, Merlin. I couldn't." Catrine stated and he sighed as he grabbed her hands and looked at her in the eyes. "You can do this, I know you can. You're the only person I trust, besides myself, to use one of my magical weapons. It has to be you." Merlin stated and Catrine nodded with a sigh. "Okay." Catrine agreed and Merlin smiled as he gage her a soft peck on the lips. "Good." Merlin stated as they turned back to their guests. "I'll get it ready, meet me here tomorrow at noon." Catrine stated and they nodded. "Okay." Icysis agreed as they left.

Real World!
   Alison was in her room and had just gotten off the phone with Harry. She had a smile on her face as she put her phone down. She turned away from the window, which she was facing, and jumped back when she saw her aunt. "What you do here?" Alison asked. "To see you, of course." Snowa replied. "Why?" Alison asked. "You are my niece, after all." Snowa replied. Snowa paused after that. She looked into Alison's eyes and saw her sister in it. "What you look at?" Alison asked. "You look so much like your mom." Snowa replied and Alison's eyes started watering. "Don't talk about her." Alison stated with fierce. "Although, you do get that fierce from me, your mom never had fierce. But your father did, just not as much as me." Snowa stated. "Leave me alone." Alison stated. "I wish I could, Abbey, but I can't. You are my niece, for crying out loud. I think we should be on good terms." Snowa stated. "Then stop what doing. I can't be on good terns with you when you evil." Alison stated and Snowa glared at her. "Blame your stupid parents, you ungrateful girl! I could give you everything and actually care about you if you give me the chance! Your parents are no good monsters you don't care about anyone but themselves!" Snowa exclaimed, getting really angry. "Don't talk about my parents! You one who don't love anyone but self, not them!" Alison exclaimed. "You will regret that!" Snowa exclaimed. "I doubt that." Alison stated. Then Snowa disappeared in a cloud of white smoke.
