Traitors and lovers

Chapter 3

Star's POV:

As we heard a voice yell at us, we stiffened on the spot and looked at each other out of the corners of our eyes. I gave a deep sigh and slowly turned around coming face to face with a girl of about our age, with bubblegum pink hair. She was looking at us like we were a threat but also managing to maintain her calm.
Her purple eyes flashing and making her look like a deer in headlights, but a deadly deer in headlights. A small dagger glowing in the dim light that surrounded the room, was in her hand pointing slightly towards us, a sword also hung at her waist. I looked back up to her eyes and saw her trying to recognize us, her eyes squinting slightly and head turned to the side.
I took a step behind Marco as to try and stop her crying out about me being here, but all she did was a shrug and turn her dagger away from us." So you're 'the maiden with buttercup hair'." She said smirking as I turned bright red remembering the end of that song.
Marco must have as well, as he froze while turning as red as a Mewman sandstorm. We both just stood there not knowing what to say, while this girl, who reminds me of myself, stood there evaluating us, and making sure we weren't going to do anything. Hence, why she reminds me of myself, at least when I was younger.
The girl chuckled at our discomfort, and leaned back against the wall behind her." Star Butterfly, the princess who became traitor to her crown and people. All for love, just like a child." Her smirk grew wider making her look like Tom, which was a little unnerving.
"Name's Nikki, and I'm going to guess you didn't just burst into my house because you wanted to and has time to think." Her voice a little higher than expected, now that I was paying attention.
"Look, if you lead us out of here and away from any Mewman guards in this area. We won't have to do anything none of us want to do." I said trying to keep the peace as Marco was starting to ball his fists in anger. The girl, sorry Nikki, let out a snort of amusement and pushed her foot of the wall, slowly prowling towards us with a steady pace. Rose colored combat boots stood out with everything she was wearing which was mainly black or pink, making her look cute but you knew she could probably knock you out in a heartbeat.
She stopped right in front of us, and I finally stepped out from behind Marco now knowing it was pointless hiding now.
She looked at Marco and then over to me. Her eyes flashing with mischief, her grin still spreading wider making her look like Harley Quinn. Again it was very unnerving.
"I'm not going to tell the guards where you are. I'm going to help you out, and have a little fun along the way." It was at this moment I decided to be wary of Nikki. If we weren't we could end up kneeling before my mother and beheaded in less than forty-eight hours.
