Double the Trouble (Continue of My Emo Best Friend)

Chapter 12

Stalorihan's pov

I snarled and pressed the button. It was followed by an appealing howl of pain to my ears.
I glared at him, it's your fault I wasn't able to take her as token to become Empress! I would have figured out Estellar was Eddie earlier, if only... YOU... Hadn't gone... IN MY WAY!
He howled as I shocked him. He thrashed at the collar but it didn't do anything. He shook like a earthquake. Fred looked at me with his red eyes. I was disappointed that I couldn't actually make him FEEL it. That snigger, pesty Lunamon took away my staff. And I need it to make them back to normal and to enchant more darts. I couldn't afford to use more Alpha magic...

Yes. The magic is limited.

Fred growled in pain as his red eyes glared.
I eventually got bored. Torturing this one wasn't the same. I turned off the machine and chained Fred's mouth and dragged him into the cage I had. I glared at the other cage, which was noisy with my father's howls. He was hard to put in there, since he's basically giant. He clawed the railing, leaving painful claw marks.
Then I stared at the other cage. The rails broken with blood stains all over it. There was loose fur stuck on the sharp ends of the rails, covered in blood.
This isn't you, Princess Stalorihan...
"I know. I just wanted revenge..." I said. There was a soft meow. I frowned, "Come in sight you shapeless slug!"
There was a soft chuckle, now that's familiar, your highness. I will... It'll take a while though.
I looked down, "You don't know my past, Sphen. I had encountered Estellar before she changed to her Alpha form... You don't know what happened."
You don't have to tell me...
I closed my eyes, "And I won't. I hate to remember it. My life was a lie." I growled at that thought and threw my desk.
Calm. Your smaller majesty..
I softly growled. I sighed, "I'm also annoyed. I remember Eddie... This version is worst. And I hate how that happened."
Your clearly annoyed that Eddie ended up as her and went with someone else...
"Oh SHUT UP!" I snapped at the ghost figure. I dropped, "Your right..."
Well perhaps...
"Perhaps what?" I snarled, "I hate that now your a sympathetic ghost rather than my Butler."
There was a soft hiss, I'm a lost spirit. And I wouldn't be here if I have been slaughtered by something else besides that demon. Anyway I don't think my idea is worth full to you.
I frowned, "it doesn't matter. Tell me your plan."
Fine, the ghost figure laid down and made himself comfortable. He meowed, why don't you just, like I don't know.. change her into an Eddie just for you. It'll probably be like the old times. And this time she'll be a him, and with you...
I tried not to turn red. I sighed, "I could, but I'm forbidden to do so. First because I'm royal and if I change any outsiders lives I'll be hanged.. Second since I'm royal I have a limited magic source. That's why I need the alpha wolf Empress necklace.."
What are you going to do now that she's escaped?
I chuckled, "Absolutely nothing. My plan is to let all of these go. Meanwhile Lunamon would have to find her mother, fight with her, and either of them would die. She doesn't know how to use my staff."
What if she figures out? What if your plan goes wrong?"
"It won't.."
What makes you think that. Personally, I think the child is a very clever girl. No offense, Princess.
I looked and flicked a switch, "I know that. What is why I have distractions."
Sphen looked at me suspiciously, distractions?
I smirked, "Of course. It's simply a love spell."
I must admit that seems a little pathetic coming from you, princess... I frowned.
"It may be, but look. If Estellar or any of these get around her friends, she'll get herself killed easier deciding to defend herself or kill. Shell be a perfect bait for these ones."
I see. But how exactly does it work?
I smiled, "Simple. Whoever is close to Lunamon will get in the love spell. Lunamon and whoever would, you know, how those complex feelings. To make it worst, it could be ANYONE. It can even be someone WAY older than her. Even her own mother! And Lunamon would have problems deciding. And she'll die easier..."

Mindreader's pov

I've been stealthily around the palace. I liked my alone time. Especially when I'm allowed to swoop in Hybrid's minds. I rolled to the right when I got in instant headache.
"Agh!" I cried in the enormous pain. There was a fuzzy mind. They were full of misery.
I must follow that mind. I thought determined.
I listened around. Then I found the mind again. I chased after it.

By the time, I picked up a scent. It smelled like blood and pain. Also fear. And another smell that was weird to me. But they all lead the same way.
Leave me alone.. whispered another mind. I went into deep curiosity.
I shook my head, can't find that out now. I need to find who's fuzzy mind is that? Why did it hurt to hear their mind? I went through a hall.

My mind was constantly thinking, I wonder where's Sapher? When are we going to visit the enslave again? Why didn't Lunamon go to the meeting? Is it true that Azm caused all the insane wolves? But then she wouldn't curse her own mate, right? Humans and their crazy technology... Where's Lucas, his company is entertaining, he's funny. Christopher said he was going to be reading at a window ledge, should I go visit him? What's going to happen to father? What will mother say once she comes back from military. I like how she's the commander and all but I haven't see her in years, and now this dude comes in her place. Who do I consider my wolf pack, I have to start forming one right? I think I should go find Lucas now, but that's just gonna make it weird.

I froze in thought. I looked to the side shyly.

"Ow ow owwww!" I howled as the fuzzy mind came nearer again. I hissed and ran.
It hurts! It hurts! I thought. I was running down the hall when a whoosh pasted by, distracting me. I got a glimpse of green.
"Wait! Hold up!" I howled. Whoever that was didn't hear me and was already gone. I sniffed the ground. His scent was... Familiar..

I could feel the echo of his mind. I couldn't quite tell who it was, fun fact it's hard to tell who's who by listening to their inner voice.
I kept walk forward, where did he come from?

I heard a whimper.

I raced to the sound. I gasped in horror. My heart pounded, I stepped back with the feeling of blood on my paws....

How dare THEY, I thought with anger. I scrambled forward, "LUCAS!"
