The Dark Realm

The Two Rings

Later that day.

"Hey, Lilly, want to walk home together?" Luke asked his best friend.

"Don't we always?" She replied.

He nodded.

"Hey, Jade, are you coming?" Lilly asked her sister.

"All catch up later. I need to ask Mr David a question."

"Alright. Do you want us to wait for you?" Lilly asked.

"Naw go on ahead."

Lilly and Luke started walking home.

About halfway there they both started to have an odd feeling like someone was watching them.

"Luke, do you see anyone else?" Lilly asked.

"No but I feel like we're being watched."

"Same."

Max decided it was time to reveal himself.

"Hello, Princess." Max said ignoring Luke.

Lilly was taken aback at first but quickly recovered.

"I'm Lilly and this is Luke. Who are you?" She stuck out her hand to shake.

"I'm Prince Max of the Dark Realm." Max grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"Alright... Well we'll just be going now." Lilly was starting to get extremely weirded out by this guy. Her hand began to sting. She let out a small whimper at the unexpected pain.

"Oh you're not going anywhere. How would you like to be my wife?"

Luke scowled.

"Excuse me?" Lilly asked.

"My wife and queen of the Dark Realm."

"I'm good. We're going to go." Lilly started to speed walk away. Luke followed.

Max teleported himself to be in front of them.

"Playing hard to get?"

"Stay away from us, you creep!" Luke screamed at Max.

Max frowned.
"I was hoping that this would go better." He grabbed Lilly's hand.
"Come with me to the Dark Realm and be my bride."

Lilly yanked her hand out of his grasp.
"I'm good. Please leave us alone." Lilly was trying to stay polite.

"Alright I can see your not ready to come with me yet. I'll give you one month to get your affairs in order and then I'll be back."

"W-What?" Lilly quivered.

Max disappeared.

"What the hell?" Luke said.

Jade finally caught up to them.

"Hey" She exhaled. "What. Did. I. Miss?" She said breathing heavily.

"Some creep came up to us claiming to be a prince and trying to get Lilly to marry him." Luke told her. His face was red with anger.

"What?" Luke explained the whole event to her in detail.

"That's weird..." Jade said after she recounted their tale.

"Not weird. Emily is weird. That guy was creepy." Luke exclaimed. Lilly was too creeped out to say anything.

"Emily... You mentioned something about the Dark Realm, right?" Jade asked.

Luke nodded. By this time they were right outside Lilly and Jade's house.

"I have an idea. Luke invite the gang to our house."
