Chapter 6- Takeover

Miranda's pov

We were sparring, using our magical abilities. But he was kicking my butt. He reached a hand out with a smirk to help me up from the millionth time. "Ugh will I ever come close to beating you?" He laughs softly and shakes his head. "I'm stronger than you could ever be. This is just to toughen you up and train you with the use of your magic." He dusts his pants legs off. "Let's get a bite to eat. A good spar always leaves me famished." We head inside and Jason starts making something. I lay my head back against the couch. "How old are you? When will you tell me?" He sets plates down on the table. "I won't." "You're so mysterious." I say, looking at him. He smiles. "Years and years of trickery, ya get pretty good at it." "Have I proven my worth?" He laughs and shakes his head. "You have only just begun." He calls his stick to him. "Next I'll crack open the spellbooks and teach you some spells."

*A few hours later, after a montage of spell practice* lol.

Jason's pov

"There you've got it down." I say smiling. She bows with a smile. "Gladly at your service my leige." I cross my arms with a proud smile. "I think you're ready."

Miranda's pov

We get to town. I flex my fingers excited. "We'll make them pledge their allegiance and if not we will burn them. Burn their homes to the ground." He says, gladly. "You mean I'll burn them to the ground." I tease poking his forehead. He growls low with a smirk on his face. "You love getting to me, don't you." I smile and nod, walking down the street. He grabs my waist and pushes me against a tree trunk. Then he kisses me roughly. I twist my fingers into his tangled hair, a soft moan escaping me. "I've never been kissed like that before." "I've never anyone like that before." He says, looking shocked. "Jason Aldean, did you fall for me?" I ask smiling and crossing my arms. He turns red and looks away. "N-No!" He snaps. I laugh and grab his wrist, pulling his hand to my chest and kissing him. "Ok yes." He whispers those two words against my lips, kissing me deeply, my hands shaking with passion. Then suddenly like lightning has stricken us, we pull apart. "S-Sorry." He mumbles embarrassed. "Sorry for what?" I ask. He's red as a tomato. "Not you.... The master." He says. "Oh." I say, feeling a cold chill pass over me. "Come on." He says grabbing my hand. "Do you... I mean does he... Talk to you?" He nods. "He'll talk to you eventually." He says looking distracted. We finally get to the center of town. Everyone was milling about in the marketplace. I got nervous all of a sudden. "You can do this. Remember what I taught you. Your power isn't a curse. It's a gift. It's what makes you better than these losers." I take a deep breath and look at him. "Do you think I have it in me?"  I ask. He smiles, looking down at the peasants. "I know you do."

Jason's pov

She whispers a chant to encase herself in a ball of fire. "Yes!" I whisper under my breath excited. She floats into the air and the fireball explodes, catching some things on fire. My staff heats up in my hand, ready to attack as I am. "Peasants of Old Lincolntown! Bow before us!" They were staring at her shocked and mumbling amongst themselves. "This town is ours and you are our slaves! Whoever poses shall die!" She yells. I don't know why but I suddenly feel very proud. When they don't say anything in response, she burns a cart. They scream in desperate fear. That's when I make my appearance. I jump down at the edge of the terrified crowd. "I told you all I'd be back." "Leave us alone! What do you want with us?!" One man shouts, staring at me furious. I smile up at my girl and she lights her palm on fire and chucks it at him. He bursts into flames, screaming in agony. I smile as she floats down beside me. "Way to go." I whisper. She smiles.  "Thanks." "Anyone else?" She yells to the crowd who is petrified with fear. Slowly, one by one, they bow to their knees in surrender. "You and me are gonna live like royalty in castles with these people as our slaves!" I say proudly putting a hand on her shoulder. "Jason." She whispers pointing. I turn around confused and gasp in surprise seeing 3 people not bowing. Wow. Joshua, Maxine, and Mary holding their youngest child Bobby. "What do we do?" She whispers. "I can't do nothin'." I whisper back. "Or you'll be reverted back, remember." She nods. "What should I do then?" "Ultimatum. Join us or be slaves like everyone else. Remember be tough and fearless." She nods, looking determined and uses a levitation spell to take her to them.

Miranda's pov

I glare at my parents. I was at the hands of a madman and they didn't care. They didn't try to stop him. They didn't try to free me. "Mother father, you have one chance to make a choice. Be our slaves or join in the castle." I say nodding my head to the looking castle belonging to the king and queen which our shadow creatures have captured and we shall execute. "WHY DID YOU DO THIS?!" Father yells. I slap him hard across the face. "Make your choice. I am not the patient fearful child I once was." I growl. "You're my daughter. Why would you turn evil?!" He cries in tears. "I am one to fear father." Mother hugs Bobby. "We will never help you and him hurt these innocent people." I smile. "Suit yourselves. You'll work as slaves then til your ignorant cruel existence ends. Maxine, Bobby make your choice, I hope you're not as brainless as your parents." I say crossing my arms. "They're your parents too, Miranda!" My sister cries. "Not anymore they aren't." Bobby glances at the man burned. He starts to cry and pulls free of our mother, walking over to me. "What about you Max?" She glances back at mom. "Go baby girl." Mom says hugging her. "You'll be safer." Dad says. They're both crying. But Maxine was bravely dry eyed. "I'll miss you." She says hugging them both and scooping Bobby up. I teleport us back to Jason." He smiles. "At least the children had smarter minds than the parents. Oh poor Mary." He says shaking his head. "Why do you care about my mom?" He shrugs. "I always thought she was more intelligent than this." He says. "At one point I planned on making her my bride but then I met you." I smile. We teleport to the castle. "I'm assuming public execution with the king and queen?" I ask. He nods and plucks the crown off the angry Queen's head. He puts it on my head and grabs the king's crown. "My king." I say. He holds my hand. "My queen." He whispers, kissing me. After the kiss, I hear whispered in my head. "Good job daughter." My heart beats faster and Jason smiles bigger. "You must've heard him." I nod and hug him. "Thank you."
