Scarlett's Escape and Love Confession

Four years later Zena's Evil Mansion

"Ashley can you go retrieve Scarlett for me?" Zena told Ashley. Ashley nodded as she left to go get Scarlett from the cafeteria where Zena had sent her to get some food. "So, then Scarlett I think it's time for you to submit to me so that I can make your parents suffer once they see that your broken their hearts will break just as mine did." Zena said to herself.

Morningstar Mansion

"So, Maze are there any updates on your end?" Lucifer asked his recently reappointed demon general. "No there has been no word about Zena or where she is keeping your daughter." Maze told Lucifer. "Damn it she can't hide her forever I mean there are only so many places that you can keep a person and Scarlett is no ordinary person so that narrows down the number of places you could hold her at significantly.

Come on it takes a lot to hold Scarlett assuming she has activated her dormant powers. Magical barriers to prevent her from flying away, a magic blocking collar to prevent her from using her magic to escape, and a lot of powerful minions to help keep her from getting any ideas and to keep her in line." Lucifer explained to his wife and demon general.

"Why don't we check her last know addresses again and see if there is any clues or blueprints that might help us figure out where she could be keeping Scar?" Drakina suggested to her husband and friend to which they both agreed. So, while Drakina, Lucifer, and Mazikeen headed to investigate Zena's addresses in search of clues of where their daughter might be being held at Scarlett was studying while she was eating in the cafeteria with Nicole at Zena's request.

Zena's Evil Mansion

"So, Scar how have you been you know with the whole well you know?" Nicole asked her friend with concern lacing her voice. "You mean Zena raping me every night for the last four years? I'm fine it doesn't hurt as much as it used to and I'm actually starting to enjoy it." Scarlett said lying and faking a smile trying to hide her pain and tears. "Are you sure you're ok Scar it's ok to be afraid or scared it's ok to not be ok Scar." Nicole told Scarlett as tears pooled in Scarlett's eyes.

"No, I'm not ok but what can I do about it if I step out of line or rebel, she will continue to rape after tonight and I have almost made it through the four years of torture. I can't do anything to ruin that Nicole I want to escape more than anything to return home to my parents but that will never happen. My fate was sealed eleven years ago at that fucking amusement park when I was kidnapped Nicole. What can I possibly do now?" Scarlett said breaking down in Nicole's arms. "Hey, scar it's all right ok we will find a way out of here ok just trust me we will make it through this so please don't give up hope not yet." Nicole told Scarlett.

"Well, when you put it that way how can I say no especially to you?" Scarlett said blushing. "I might know of a way to escape this place Scar if you're in." Nicole told Scar. "I would love to Nicole, but I can't for a number of reasons first being the fact that this place was designed specifically to keep me in and my parents out. Second this collar is designed to block my powers, but it has another purpose." Scarlett explained to Nicole. "Oh, what other purpose would that be?" Nicole asked Scar.

"This collar prevents me from escaping." Scarlett said with a sad expression on her face. "How?" Nicole asked.

"If I step off this property this collar will slowly kill me and the farther, I get from the property the faster it will kill me so I can't leave this place without dying." Scarlett said with a defeated look in her eyes. "Well, we will find a way to remove it I mean it shouldn't be too hard right?" Nicole asked hopeful. "I wish it was as easy as finding the key to unlock it or something like that but unfortunately Zena used a spell to bind the collar to my skeleton. Meaning the only way to remove this collar would be to either break her spell or to rip out my skeleton and I don't want to die so that's a no." Scarlett told Nicole.

"Oh well we can't give up we have to at least try to escape otherwise we will be stuck here forever. Is that what you want to be stuck here forever cursed to be Zena's pawn in her revenge against your parents? Do you really want to stay here and let her experiment on you until one of you dies or do you want to find a way to escape and make her pay?" Nicole asked Scarlett. "I-I want to make her feel the way she has made me feel I want to escape with you." Scarlett said with tears in her eyes as she hugged Nicole. "Well first things first let's get that collar off you." Nicole said.

"Well, I might have an idea on how to remove it, but we will need a distraction." Scarlett told Nicole. "You do how?" Nicole asked her. "Well, you could use your mystic eyes to figure out the safest way to remove it without killing me and then you could use your divine magic to separate and remove the collar from my skeleton." Scarlett said. "That could work just one problem what do we do about Zena?" Nicole said.

"Good point." Scarlett said. "I think I can help with that girls." Ashley said with a smirk on her face as she stood in the doorway. "Ashley how much of that did you hear?" Scarlett asked Ashly with fear in her eyes. "Relax Scarlett I may work for Zena, but unlike her I want to help you. I am a spy for your dad, and I am here to help you with distracting her. I can use my energy manipulation to make her think that the power is malfunctioning. That should give you a little window to figure out how to disable that collar and get it off after that you will have exactly three minutes to escape before Zena realizes your collar has been removed got it?" Ashley explained to Nicole and Scarlett easing their worries.

"Well, if my dad sent you then I guess we can trust you and if your one of my dad's demons then we can easily escape." Scarlett said hopeful. "Oh, I'm not a demon." Ashley said with a sinister look in her eyes. "Then what are you?" Nicole asked Ashley. "Not important just remember what I told you I can only distract Zena with my power for so long before she figures out what I'm doing. At which point she will rip my heart out so please figure out how to get that collar off and escape as fast as you can got it." Ashley explained to Nicole and Scarlett. "Also, you are going to have to wait to carry out your plan until midnight or Zena might get suspicious so you will have to endure Zena fucking you one more time. After she is done, she will send you to Nicole like always to clean up and she will call for me that is when we begin our plan. Once I use my energy manipulation the lights in your room will light up red then black that is the signal to begin. I should also mention that I don't expect to survive this so once you get that collar off escape don't try and save me, I am merely a distraction for your escape." Ashley said happily.

"Not a problem personally I will have no problems leaving you behind once my collar is removed, I will do everything in my power to protect Nicole because s-she is my f-friend and I trust her. I could give a rat's ass about anyone else here." Scarlett said with an emotionless look in her eyes. "Harsh but then again you are Lucifer and Drakina's daughter so I would expect nothing less.

Midnight after Scarlett's punishment

The lights in Scarlett's room turned red then black signaling them then the power throughout the place started malfunctioning.

"Alright Nicole time to begin this is going to hurt me a lot more than it will hurt you." Scarlett said calmly. "All you have to do is carefully separate the collar from my skeleton and we should be good ok." Scarlett told Nicole. "That easy huh?" Nicole said nervously. "Hey, it's going to be fine I will survive and after we get this collar off me, we can finally escape this place and return to our parents and if y-you want I-I can introduce y-you to my parents I mean if you want." Scarlett said blushing. Nicole brought her hands up to Scarlett's face causing her to open her eyes surprised at her actions.

"Listen to me Scarlett if we get out of here then I don't just want to go our separate ways I want to stay by your side. Ever since Zena kidnapped you eleven years ago, I have been your friend. We have shared good times and bad times every day would be torture especially for you because of the countless experiments that Zena would perform on you. She has beaten you, whipped you, cut you, sliced you, burnt you, and even raped you she has done so much to you and if it were not for your high-speed regeneration, she would have killed you by now. I have been by your side when things got too hard, I have been here for you after every experiment to comfort you and overtime we became friends. I have seen you at your worst and I have seen you at your best and over the years I have slowly developed feelings for you. I know someone like you could never love someone like me, but I love the way you laugh; I love the way the sun lights up your beautiful face in the morning, I love how smart you are. I love how your mind works I love that you gave me a chance and decided to be my friend even though you were not sure if you could trust me. I know you think that your ugly because Zena has made it a thing to make sure to tell you how ugly you are every chance she gets, but you are beautiful. I know that you probably don't feel the same way about me that I feel about you, but I just want you to know in case we don't make it out of here alive. Scarlett, I love you and if we by some miracle do make it out of here then I would love to meet your parents because like I said before I-" Nicole was saying before suddenly Scarlett kissed her tackling her to the ground.

"Your wrong Nicole I do feel the same way about you actually to be honest I have loved you from the moment I first saw you cliché I know but it's true Nicole. At the time I didn't know what it was that I was feeling and over time it only got stronger but now I know that this feeling I feel every time I'm around you is love because Nicole, I love you." Scarlett said as she kissed Nicole passionately. "Now why don't we get this collar off me so you can meet my parents?" Scarlett stated in a questioning manner with a huge smile on her lips. "Why are you looking at me like that is there something on my face?" Scarlett asked Nicole as she had been just staring at Scarlett. "No, it's just this is the first time I've seen you smile since Zena kidnapped you is all." Nicole said. "I've smiled around you before." Scarlett said.

"Yeah, but this is your first genuine smile since you've been here." Nicole said. "Huh I guess you're right anyways let's get this collar off ok then you can admire my beauty whenever you want ok." Scarlett said. "Deal." Nicole said happy that Scarlett felt the same way about her that she felt about Scarlett. "Ok now try not to scream ok Scar last thing we need is for Zena to hear and our plan getting ruined." Nicole said nervously. "I won't ok just hurry up ok." Scarlett replied. "Mystic eyes." Nicole said scanning Scarlett's body looking for where the collar is connected to her skeleton at. "I have a question for you Scarlett." Nicole asked now more worried Scarlett nodded her head telling her to continue. "When Zena put this collar on you how did she do it?" Nicole asked.

"Well, this isn't the collar she put on me this is a different one my magic shorted out the first one, so she made this one and put this one on me." Scarlett said. "Did you see how she put it on you?" Nicole asked. "No when she put this one on me, she used a spell to knock me unconscious so I wouldn't see why." Scarlett told Nicole. "Scar from what I'm seeing this collar is connected to your heart it's also powered by an enormous amount of magic. If I remove the collar the collar would rip your heart out the only way for me to remove this collar without killing you, would be to overload the collar with magic so that it will release its grip on your heart. Then I can separate and remove the collar, but the thing is Scar that means this will hurt ten times worse than we thought it would." Nicole said at the fact that she was going to have to hurt Scarlett. "I know that but there is no turning back now we are so close after all these years I want to escape, and I want to do it with you so hurry up so we can figure out how we are going to get out of here." Scarlett told Nicole.

"Alright then." Nicole said deactivating her mystic eyes spell. "Magic overload." Nicole said as she overloaded the magic in Scarlett's collar by forcing her magic into the collar effectively overloading it causing it to release its grip on Scarlett's heart. "Now for the hard part." Scarlett said nodding her head trying to suppress her screams. "Divine Fusion." Nicole said. Nicole's hands lit with Divine energy as she looked into Scarlett's eyes fearing what she was about to do next. Nicole shoved her hands inside of Scarlett's chest and grabbed the collar that no longer had a grip on her heart in one hand and grabbed Scarlett's skeleton with the other one. Nicole started slowly separating the collar from Scarlett's skeleton trying not to let Scarlett's screams stop her from finishing the task at hand. Nicole successfully separated Scarlett's collar from her skeleton.

"Ok Scarlett the collar is no longer bonded to your skeleton which means I can remove it but that means I have to rip it out of you and then I can take the rest of it off so I'm sorry, but this is really going to hurt." Nicole said. "I don't care just get this fucking collar removed." Scarlett said as she was sweating buckets. Nicole nodded as she ripped the collar out of Scarlett and then destroyed it with her magic. "Ok collar removed how is your magic?" Nicole asked. "You tell me Scarlett said as her wings, tail, and horns came out.

"Now let's figure out how to get out of here ok." Scarlett's eyes started glowing as she used her mystic eyes spell glad that she could use her magic that had been blocked for the last four years she looked around the building looking for an escape. "If we go down this corridor, till we get to the cafeteria then hang a right and go straight till we reach the only water fountain in this place next to it there is a button that opens a secret passage which will lead us out of here then freedom is ours." Scarlett said surveying the surroundings.

"How exactly do you know that?" Nicole said because before Zena put this collar on me, she had me train in hand-to-hand combat and magical combat she also made me study everything. Math, science, English, Spanish, Japanese, as well as everything magical like spell books, tomes, runes, magic circles to name a few. I will not list everything she made me study but let's just say that when they say knowledge is power, they are not lying. Anyways after she put this collar on me, she still made me study and train I just had to be monitored when she turned off the collar when she had me use my magic. But I learned many things from my studies of magic like a spell that allows me to see the magic inside of something like a magic passage or a button connected to a doorway. And this spell allows me to not only see magic but also allows me to see things normal people can't." Scarlett said as they arrived at the water fountain. Scarlett leaned down and pushed the button next to the fountain and the fountain slid over to the side like a door revealing the passage.

"Once we reach the end of this hallway freedom is ours also seems like Zena just killed Ashley so we better hurry before she initiates the lockdown." Scarlett said Nicole just nodded. Scarlett and Nicole started running down the hallway when they saw walls coming down behind them meaning the lockdown protocol has been initiated. They started running faster and faster they were almost to the door when Nicole tripped and doors that were coming down upon them were closing in fast Scarlett rushed back picked up Nicole bridal style and sped out of there with inhuman speed. A woman approached the two girls as they escaped. "Well, it took you long enough Scarlett Morningstar and Nicole Anderson we have been waiting for you for five hours and our boss hates to be kept waiting." The mystery woman said as she grabbed the two girls put bags over their heads shoved them into a van and drove off.
