Chapter 16

Rachel and Jude hurried along to catch up with Ewan, “You must know where Hayden went. You’ve been his best friend since you met him” she called out as he turned away, “What makes you think that I am here because he is. Do you think he called me to come here?” he asked as she replied, “yeah” she smirked as her reply, “Well, think again. I was here before you even arrived with him and I happen to be sitting at a booth reading the paper when I saw him, but I only observed” he told her, seeing her smirk fade away as Jude spoke up, “This is intolerable, I demand to know where he has run off to with my fiancée so I can find him and hurt him myself” he demanded as Ewan shook his head, “Like I just said, I don’t know where he is” he replied, but this was a lie, less than five days ago, Hayden had called him, telling of about his problem and any advice and Ewan told him where he could go and he wouldn’t tell anyone until he was told to. He knew where they were going but not going to say anything but stall them. Jude was getting angry, “Just tell us so you can enjoy your time here” he demanded again as he laughed, “I don’t know” he said, then smiling, “But I can talk about this problem more over something to eat” he told them, smiling more, maybe they were getting somewhere so they followed him to a small café to discuss this-but he wouldn’t be saying where they are-for now.

The plane landed in Sydney as Hayden led Natalie out of the plane, looking out of the windows, she only saw tall buildings so she had no idea where he had taken her, “Where are we?’ she asked as he smiled, “I can’t tell you yet, it’s a surprise” he replied, kissing her lips as she smiled, “Oh you are so sweet.” She told him as he held her closely in his arms through the airport and down to the train station underneath the airport. Once inside the train, he pulled out a blindfold, she giggled as he tied it around her eyes, “What’s this for?” she asked, excitedly as he smiled, “I said it was a surprise and that means you can’t see until it’s time” he replied as the train took off through the tunnels and across the suburbs, holding her close to him. When the train pulled up to their stop, he took her hand and led her out onto the platform and over to the railing overlooking the harbour-he smiled at the sight-she was going to love this-the water, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and the sun shining brightly down, he undid the blindfold and she gasped, looking out over the railing, she turned to him, with tears of happiness in her eyes, “Oh Hayden, it’s beautiful. I had no idea that you were going to take me here” she told him as he held her, “I wanted to take you back to the city where our love truly blossomed” he smiled, as they shared a tender, romantic kiss against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour.

Landing at the airport, both Hayden and Natalie were overwhelmed by the city of Sydney, having never been there before, they did not know what to expect. As they travelled through the city to the studios, Hayden held her close, as they stopped off on their way to see the beautiful sights, he saw how Natalie’s beauty was only highlighted here and that she belong here and then he discovered something-that his true feelings for her were coming out in Sydney, like it had a magic spell that made people fall more in love with each other. He smiled at her before pulling her in, and they shared a loving kiss in the city.

Jude and Rachel looked at Ewan, he still had not said a word about where they were only listened to the whole story from both sides seeing what both his friends had been up to since he had last talked to them, although Hayden did tell him this when he called those few days ago but he played innocent in all this, “So Hayden hasn’t called you about where he went?” she asked for the 100th time as he rolled his eyes, “No, he did not call about where he was going and I’m guessing that if he wanted you to know where he was, he would have called you already” he replied, as Jude was getting madder, “I can’t believe he did. Natalie and I are suppose to be getting married in over an hour!” he exclaimed, “Your friend has so crossed the line” he added as Ewan layed back in his chair, sipping his drink, “Really, well from what I saw when they were at the bar, Natalie was not ready to get married and you were pushing her too far” he replied, seeing Jude about to retaliate back, “We were in love for two years prior to me purposing to her, and she said yes, there were tears of happiness!” he exclaimed as Ewan rolled his eyes again, “tears of happiness or tears of sadness because at the bar, she seem like she wasn’t ready to be married in a day” he smirked as Rachel was getting angry, “Well whatever is her problem, she has dragged my boyfriend into it because before he saw her again, he had forgotten about her and was in a loving relationship with me” she explained as he laughed, “Yeah that’s what happen. You don’t know them like I do, on set they had an onscreen relationship that mimicked their offscreen relationship, without the sadness” he joked, “They loved each other, always spending time with each other when they could” he added as she shook her head, “That was years ago! Who cares? He told me she broke his heart” she replied as he shook his head, “Maybe, but there was always a spark and it just took time before it opened up again” he smirked as he got up, “This has been nice to do but I must go” he told them as they got up, “Oh no you are not going anywhere. I know he will call you and we will be with you and off we go” she told him as he sighed, “Okay, if you insist but it may take a while” he replied as they followed him out into the street.

Hayden arrived at the hotel with Natalie in his arms, it was a beautiful hotel and it Natalie felt like a princess with her knight in shining armour. They entered the hotel room where he spun her around, she laughed, “Oh Hayden, this is what I want. You and me, together for ever, it killed me seeing Rachel all over you” she told him as he looked into her shiny, brown eyes, “I wanted to come over to you and pull you away from Jude and I have” he smiled, carrying her over to the bed where he took off his shirt to reveal his strong sexy muscles making her all flustered, as she slipped off her coat to reveal her silky sexy dress then he looked down in her beautiful eyes and kissed with the smell of the red roses filling the room.

Ewan had cheekily managed to send Jude and Rachel away downstairs saying he needed to change his clothes, but really it was a chance to ring Hayden and let him know about the plan. Sticking his head out in the hallway, checking to see that they were not there, he popped back in and into the bathroom where he grabbed his phone and dialled Hayden’s number-he needed him to know about Rachel and Jude’s reactions to their disappearance. He let it ring, not going to hang up, “Come on Hayden, answer your phone” he muttered.
Locked in a steamy and warm kiss and embrace, Hayden moaned as the phone ran, “Who is that calling?” he asked out loud, getting up to answer it as Natalie pulled him back down “Leave it, we’ll call them back” she told him, kissing his neck as he smiled, “I should get this” he told her, as he saw Ewan’s name on the phone, “Hello, what’s up?” he asked as he heard Ewan laugh, “Your plan is working buddy. I have been distracting them about other things but I think something may happen soon.” He told him as he smiled, “Excellent, what’s the reaction so far?” he asked, “Jude is pissed at hell, wants to kill you and is going on about how he should marrying her in hours and Rachel is saying how you wouldn’t go back to her because she broke your heart” he replied as Hayden laughed, “This is great. Just don’t tell them yet. Only you know where we are and it stay like that till I say so” he told him as Ewan nodded, “You got it. They are not going to be happy with this” he smirked, “I know” he replied, hanging up, he turned back to Natalie on the bed, her eyes looking into his’s, he smiled, “Ewan says that Jude and Rachel are angry as hell and are trying to get him to tell us where we are but he’s not” he told her as she laughed, “Excellent, this is too good to be true” she smiled, pulling him back over to her to pick up where they left off.

Chapter 17

Rachel and Jude needed a plan, to find Hayden and Natalie so Jude could get on with his wedding and Rachel continue with her romantic plans but Ewan was not saying anything, yet they both knew that he must know something about where they could have gone-a favourite place maybe while filming together. Rachel was getting angrier as the days passed, the idea of Natalie all over her boyfriend was enough to make her sick and Jude was taking his anger out on items and wall of the room, so that when he found Hayden, he could push him out, that’s if they could get Ewan to talk.

Hayden stood on the balcony with Natalie in his arms, looking over the beautiful city of Sydney, her head resting against his shoulder, and her hands atop of his’s, it was a beautiful picture as she smiled, “I never want to leave you again” she told him as he turned her around so she looked into those stunning blue eyes of his’s, “Then you don’t have to” he replied, smiling his flashy smile of his’s, “Oh, Hayden, you’re not asking me what I think you mean?” she asked as he nodded, she held his hands so tightly, he thought he wouldn’t be able to let go, “But what about Jude and Rachel?” she asked, as he smiled more, “I guess we just won’t worry about them now, won’t we?” he replied, as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him for a kiss, “I truly love you, Hayden” she whispered.

Ewan opened the door to find Rachel and Jude standing there, “Yes, can I help you?” he asked, “I thought you said you were just going to get changed and com straight downstairs?” Jude asked, “I was” he replied innocently, “It doesn’t take 20 minutes!” Rachel exclaimed, “If you have a shower it does” he told her as Jude pushed past into the room, “Look, one last time and if you say no we’ll believe you” he started, “Do you or do you not, know where Hayden is?” he asked as Ewan leaned against the wall, “No, I didn’t. I don’t know where he is and he hasn’t called me” he replied as Rachel moved over to him, slipping off her cloak to reveal a very revealing outfit, “Let’s just cut to the chase” she told him, placing a hand on his shoulder, “You must know places Hayden could go to that we don’t know about, so why don’t you just tell us and we’ll leave you alone” she told him as he smiled, “You know, I would but I just can’t because I don’t know” he told her pushing her off him, “No one wonder Hayden’s gone if you keep pushing people for answers” he told her as Jude punched his fist into a pillow on the lounge, “Forget it, I am just going to do what I should have done in the first place” he told them, pulling out his phone, he dialled Natalie’s number.

Natalie was over the moon, she was back in love with Hayden. She danced around the hotel room like she was on cloud nine, Hayden had just left to get something for them to eat and already she missed him, she was softly singing to herself, when she was interrupted by her phone ringing, moving over to it, she picked it up, she was about to answer when she saw Jude’s name on the screen, she froze-“How could she answer now? She did not want him coming here” The phone kept ringing and ringing but she did not answer, holding it in her open hand, even when Hayden entered the room again, he smiled at her but then asked, “What’s wrong?” he asked, she handed him the phone, “It’s him. I don’t know what to do” she told him as he looked at the phone, he took the phone from her, he told her, “I know exactly what to do” he replied, answering the phone, he quickly disguised his voice with a ‘fake’ accent, “Hello, who is this?” he asked, “This is Natalie’s finance, what are you doing with her phone?” Jude asked, as Hayden went on, “She gave this nice phone to me” he told him, hearing the anger in his voice, “She what!?!” he exclaimed, “She gave it to me and I don’t want to talk to you again” he told him, hanging up, Natalie laughed, “That was so close but so funny” she told him as he lifted her in the air, “He won’t be bothering us again” he replied, as they shared a gentle kiss.

Jude threw the phone at the wall, “He has really crossed the line now!” he yelled, as Ewan looked innocently at him, “Something wrong?” he asked, “Hayden pretended to be someone else to throw me off track with a fake accent” he replied as Ewan smiled, “Really? He’s pretty smart man then” he told him as Jude looked more angry, “He’s a dead man now!” he exclaimed, storming past him, “Rachel, if you want to come you can. He’s not going to say anything” he told her, meaning Ewan and left the hotel room, Rachel looked back, “I’m sorry, but I’m with him. Hayden was mine and I am going to get him back” she told him, before running after Jude. Ewan moved over and closed the door, They are so dumb, they won’t find them. Time to inform Hayden of recent developments

Strolling through the city streets with the stars shining brightly above them, Natalie and Hayden were back together and never going to be apart again, he held her hand as she looked out at the harbour, when Hayden’s phone started to ring, he moved to answer it, “Yes, what’s wrong now?” he asked, “Nothing’s wrong but Jude is pissed that you made the phone call” he told him as Hayden smiled cheekily at the reply, “They’re planning on finding out where you are very soon by some means how” he told them as Hayden smiled more “Nice try but they won’t” he replied, then Hayden got an idea, “Ewan, come out here, but make sure that no one sees you leave Paris” he told him, “You got it” he replied, hanging up, Hayden turned back to his beautiful girl, “Everything is working to how I planned it, soon it will be just you and me” he smiled as she looked into his sweet blue eyes, “That’s what I always wanted. You by my side forever and ever” she replied, as he pulled her in closer and sharing a passionate kiss before taking her for another big surprise.

The moon was in full bloom when they reached the harbour bridge, he had covered her eyes with a blindfold along the way, so she didn’t know where they were but it felt like they were going up as he took her hand up the stairs which felt like forever. When at last, they were at the top and Hayden pulled the blindfold off and she saw where they were-on top of the Harbour Bridge with the city sparkling below them, like a painting-she turned to look at him, “Hayden, I heard no idea you were going to do this” she told him as he replied, “I’ve always wanted you to see the city from this view” then he got down on one knee as she gasped, “Natalie, I knew that I always wanted to be with you and seeing with another man, killed me. I love you and I want to be with you” he told her, taking a small box and opening it, “So, Natalie, will you marry me?” he asked as her hands started to shake and tears fell down her face, “Yes, Hayden. I will” she cried as he slipped the beautiful sapphire diamond ring on her finger and she pulled him and kissed him on top of the bridge.

Rachel sat in Jude’s hotel room and shivered, Jude’s friend saw her shiver and asked, “Are you okay?” as Rachel replied, “I don’t know but I have this horrible feeling that everything has just taken a change for the worse” as she got up, and moved over to the bathroom, closing the door, she knelt on the floor and cried, “Hayden. Why are you doing this to me?” she cried as the tears fell down her soft cheeks onto the tiled floor.

Chapter 18

Natalie spent the morning in Hayden’s arms, staring down at the ring that was placed on her finger last night; it was so beautiful, “Oh Hayden, this ring is gorgeous. It must have costed you a fortune” she told him as he kissed her on her neck, “Nothing is too expensive for my one and only” he replied, as she turned to look into his pretty boy blue eyes, “Not even Jude has said that to me” she told him, pushing him down, placing her hands on his face and kissing his soft lips as he kissed her lips back, “I have always loved you and now we are together forever” he told her, sitting up, “Today, I have another surprise for you” he told her, pulling her off the lounge and running out of the room

Rachel and Jude were getting nowhere and Ewan was not in his room, the desk clerk had told them he left last night and was not at liberty to say where, not slipping the fact that Ewan had tipped him extra not to diverge where he was going. “He can’t just leave!” Jude exclaimed, “He lied to us! He has been talking to Hayden and that’s where he’s gone!” Rachel told him as Jude smashed his fist into the wall, “I’ll not only kill Hayden but I’ll kill him as well for stalling and lying to us and then I’m taking Natalie to the nearest church and marring her” he exclaimed as Rachel slapped him, “You touch Hayden and they’ll have to find your body all mangled up. I’ll get to them and while you’ll handling them, I’ll kill her for destroying my relationship with Hayden!” she yelled back, “No one is getting away with this!” they both declared, “Once we find out where they are” Jude told her.

Hayden had organised for a day out on a private ferry around the luxurious side of the harbour, Natalie couldn’t believe that he had done this, with beautiful rich food and sweet music filled the air, “Flowers for my beautiful fiancé” he told her, as she blushed, “Oh Hayden, pink and purple roses, my favourite. You remembered” she cried happily, throwing her arms around him, “I have always remembered everything you liked” he replied, leading her over to the table prepared for them, “Classy white wine” he told her, pulling her a glass, and a toast, “To the most beautiful, elegant lady right in front of me” he smirked, sipping their drinks and another kiss with the waves washing against the side of the ship.

Ewan relaxed in his plane, he had managed to slide out of Paris in the middle of the crisp night without alerting Jude and Rachel, he placed his hands behind his head, “Sometimes I amazed even myself” he thought to himself, smiling at the pretty flight attendant who had brought him his meal and drink, and sliding his chair back, in just a few hours, he would be in Sydney, with his two best friends and away from the annoying partners of their’s, how Hayden and Natalie put up with them it was a wonder.

“We are now stuck in Paris, with no partners and no leads on where they went!” Rachel exclaimed as Jude stood with his back to her, they had still not spoke to each other since they each made their own threats to Hayden, Natalie and now Ewan, “Jude, I know I snapped but we need to work together if we are to find them” she told him, not even bothering to turn around, he spoke, “you meant what you said and I meant what I said, so unless we can put our violence aside, I’m not talking to YOU” he growled, Rachel shook her head, “I can’t believe what I am saying but I am willing to put my threat aside and find them” she replied as he turned away, “Now that wasn’t hard, was it?” he asked, clapping his hands together, “Now let’s think of all the places they could be” he added.

Hayden led his fine-looking finance’ off the boat and back onto the harbour docks, “Oh Hayden, I had never seen the city that way before, you certainly know how romance a lady” Natalie told him, placing her hands around his waist as he smiled brightly, “I said I wanted to show my love and I am” he replied, as they made their way down the street back to the hotel when Hayden accidentally bumped into someone walking towards them, they turned around, “What were you…” stopping when they saw who had bumped into them, “Hayden?” they asked, as he looked puzzled at their response, “Yes, who are you?” he asked them, taking off their sunglasses, he saw it was Mischa, “Mischa, hey how are you?” he asked, hugging her friendly, “I’m fine, enjoying the sites, you?” she asked, “Yeah here with a friend” he replied, “This is my friend Natalie” he told her, she looked up at him, with a look of why-don’t-you-tell-her-the-truth? “Nice to meet you” she told her, “Where’s Rachel, your girlfriend?” she asked, as Natalie cringed at this comment, “That’s why he didn’t tell her” she thought, “She’s stuck doing reshoots for the film” he replied as Mischa looked at him, “Oh well, tell her I said Hello and I hope she fine” she replied as he smiled, “Sure will” he told her, walking off with Natalie.

Mischa watched them, there was something about his reply that wasn’t right and the way he held Natalie close, showed that they were ‘more than friends’, “Just a friend” she muttered, “I need to check that out with Rachel” she muttered, moving down the street, she reached in her stylish bag for her mobile.

[Did you see that coming? Hehe, what will happen now that Mischa has seen Hayden and Natalie together and how will Ewan react to their engagement news? Stay tuned!]

Chapter 19

Natalie and Hayden entered the hotel room, “So I take it that Mischa is a friend of Rachel’s” she asked, “Yes, but I don’t think she’ll question her about why I’m here and she’s not” he told her, holding her close, “Besides Mischa’s a good friend and nothing I said told her about us” he smirked, spinning her around, leaning her back for a kiss when they heard a voice, “Nice to see you again” they looked around the supposedly empty, dark hotel room, “Who’s in here?” Hayden asked, seeing a small, lamp go on and a chair spin around, it was Ewan, he looked straight at them then broke into a smile, “What? You were expecting someone else?” he asked, as Hayden and Natalie laughed “You’re back later than usual” he commented, as Hayden smiled, “We had something to take care of. I thought you didn’t get in till tomorrow” Hayden told him, “Earlier flight, so who’s this Mischa, you were talking about?” he asked, “A friend and a co star of mine we just met and Natalie thinks because she’s a friend of Rachel, she’ll tell her” he replied as Natalie playfully hit him, “Shut up, I was just concerned but anyway, Ewan, we have something to tell you” she spoke up as he looked from her to him, “Yes, what’s going on?” he asked, she stuck out her small hand with the beautiful sapphire ring on it, “Hayden and I are getting married!” she squealed as he smiled, “That’s great, you are perfect for each other, you chose well missy” he commented.

Rachel was becoming frustrated as she layed on the bed, when her mobile began to ring, she got up and pushed her hands from her hair, “Like it’s Hayden” she thought, moving over to answer it, “Hello” she answered, “Hey Rachel, it’s Mischa, long time huh?” she asked, “Oh my god, Mischa! It has! How are you?” she asked, excitedly, “I’m doing well, stuck doing work on your film huh?” she pointed out as Rachel blinked, “What are you talking about. We’ve been on a short break for 2 months” she corrected her, “Oh, well then how come I saw Hayden with a friend and he said you were stuck doing reshoots” she replied, as Rachel froze, “What!?! Where did you meet him?” she asked angrily, “I’m down here in Sydney and I just bumped into him last night. Is something wrong?” she asked, as she clenched her teeth, “No, everything’s fine” she replied, hanging up. She screamed, throwing her mobile at the wall, causing Jude to run in, “What’s wrong?” he asked, “Oooh, that man infuriates me so much!” she declared, “First he tells me that he loves me, then he starts to have old feelings come back for his ex, then he tries to make her fall in love with him, then he takes off to win her back in Paris, then jets off again!” she exclaimed, as Jude looked at her, “I’m lost, who are you talking about?” he asked as she glared at him, “Hayden! You miserable twit!” he shouted, “What, where?” he asked, “In Sydney! With Natalie!” she yelled again, “What! How do you know?” he asked, “My friend Mischa called and she let it out” she replied as he moved over and started packing, “Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” he told her as she grabbed her bags and started packing, “Now we finally have a heading and they are in for a world of pain” Jude told him as Rachel just grabbed her stuff, and ran out of the room with Jude after her.

“You’re getting married! That’s fantastic, can I perform at your wedding?” he joked, as they laughed, “Are you going to be singing the song you sang in Moulin Rouge?’ Hayden asked as Ewan pointed at finger at him, “hey, I’ll have you know I wowed hearts of million’s of women around the world in that movie” he informed him as Hayden just rolled his eyes as Natalie took his hand in her’s “Ewan, we would love to have you sing at our wedding” she told him as he smiled, “That’s better, see Hayden, one friend likes me” he smirked, “Now let’s see that ring again” he cheered as she blushed, holding out her hand, with Hayden’s arms around her small, slim waist and Ewan holding her hand, staring at the ring, “That is a beauty, lucky you” he told her, playfully punching Hayden, “You did right, for once” he joked sharing a laugh before Ewan clapped his hands together, “let’s celebrate with a drink” he told them, “The bar’s closed” Natalie commented, “Alright, then here, I have a bottle of wine here, let’s celebrate this happy occasion!” he told them, moving over to the bar in the room, opening the bottle.

Mischa stared down at her phone, had she done the right thing? Rachel seemed angry when she told her that Hayden was here without her, had something happened in that time since they last talked, she wanted to have Hayden as a friend because he was such a nice guy to know and did this act push it too far? She hoped not, she would have to wait and see or if she saw Hayden, ask him.

Jude and Rachel stood in the airport ready to board the next flight out to Sydney and to confront their ex lovers but in Jude’s case, he had more in store than anyone would suspect. He planned some little surprises for his ex and her friends, without Rachel knowing. He had Natalie first and he was going to win her back, he was going to break him like he broke him by taking her in the first place. “When we get to Sydney, no tricks, just take what you want and leave him to me” Rachel told him, as he just smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t. I’m only there for Natalie and that’s all” he smiled, “And that’s all you need to know” he thought to himself who moved off to grab something to eat as Rachel pulled out her phone, “You think you’re smart, but I know you’re planning something else and two can play at that game” she thought to herself, “Hello Mischa, I have a favour to ask you while you are in Sydney” she smirked, then explained what she wanted her to do.

At around 4.00am in the morning, Ewan, Hayden and Natalie were in a fit of laughs as they remembered the last time they were all together, of course, they had finished nearly all the bottle of wine Ewan had snuck into the room, although they found smaller bottles in the fridge of their room, but it only brought the more fun side of early morning as Natalie cuddled up to Hayden, she was not taking the ring off for a second, laughing so hard as Ewan and Hayden, who had gotten up to join in the action of their lightsaber fight which because they were nearly drunk and Natalie laughed hardly because they looked like drunken fools, but for the first time in weeks, she was happier than ever, like the old days:

It was usually for shooting to wrap earlier than usual on the set of Episode 3 but everyone had worked really hard and they finished early, Ewan, Natalie and Hayden decided to head out early for a night out in the city, stopping a popular nightclub, where they went for the wild drinks and partying mode for a change, Hayden was spinning Natalie around, kissing her whenever he pulled her in closer, which made it real romantic until feeling like they had too much, they headed by to Hayden’s place because it was closer, where they all stumbled in full of laugher about their scenes they had done, “You wanted me to lay next to you in the bed room scene because you knew you were shirtless” she pointed out as he stood, “Hey…hey…no… true, I needed you to boast my performance” he smirked as she pushed him over the lounge as Ewan laughed, “She’s got you” he told him as she glared at him, “I’m sorry, your highness. I won’t make fun of you” he smirked, “Except you wanted to do scenes with me more” he smiled as she gasped, “Ewan! I did not” she exclaimed as he ducked when a small object flew his way, then she crawled over to Hayden, kissing him, as Ewan moved over to the balcony.

Natalie remembered those times because she was with her two best friends who made her laugh and were doing it all over again, laughing so hard, she did not see Ewan run over and pick her up, “Ewan, what are you doing?” she asked, “You’re joining in” he told her, smirking as she saw Hayden on the floor, like in Episode 2 in the meadow, “Ewan, this isn’t funny” she told him but couldn’t stop laughing, “Go find out” he told her, trying to hold his laughing in, he put her and she stumbled over to Hayden’s body, “Hayden? Baby? Are you alright?” she asked, kneeling beside him and turned him over, he was so still as she rubbed her hand along his strong chest when he burst into a fit of laughter, grabbing her slim waist, “Now I have you” he told her, she slapped him, “That was not funny” she laughed, “Then why are you laughing?” he asked as she stopped, “I can’t help it” she replied, as he pulled down and shared a romantic passionate kiss, as Ewan joked, “I don’t want to see that” he exclaimed and moved over to the bathroom, leaving them to their kiss.

Mischa had listened to Rachel’s favour and now she sat in her luxurious hotel room, she was asking her to follow Hayden around to make sure he was cheating on her but she was starting to get the feeling that there was more to this then Rachel was telling her, she didn’t want to spy on him, he was her friend and she didn’t feel it was her business but Rachel had made her promise and made a fair deal so she had no choice but to do what she was asked to not matter what she thought.

Chapter 20

Ewan stumbled out of the bathroom, “Oh man, what a night. First night back in Sydney and I get so drunk” he thought, he looked over at the sleeping forms of Natalie and Hayden curled up together, it was so peaceful that it looked like it belonged in a movie. He smiled, “They always belonged together, he immediately saw it that first day of shooting” he thought as he tip toed pass them, not to wake them and moved over for something to cure the headache pounding his head.

It was strange to be shooting scenes backwards but no one dared to question George, thinking that it was some kind of method he usually did, so Ewan dressed in his Jedi robes, Rose dressed in her handmaiden outfit, Jay, in his Naboo security outfit and Hayden and Natalie in their refugee disguises made their way to the set of the landing platform. Ewan looked over at Hayden and Natalie, holding hands and smiling at each other, it had only been a week since they had seen each other and he already saw a spark in them. They all took their places, Hayden and Natalie could not stop looking at each other, Ewan nudged Hayden, “I see you are taking a liking to Natalie” he teased as he looked at him, “Stop it, I don’t want anyone to find out” he replied, as Ewan smiled cheekily, “Wow, I know they say you have to get into the roles but you really get into the role” he laughed as Hayden only laughed and looked back at Natalie, who truly was the beautiful angel she was

As Ewan watched the sleeping forms of Hayden and Natalie, he saw a movement in between and ducked down behind the bench, as Hayden sat up, holding his head, like Ewan, he had a throbbing headache and he didn’t know how he got it, he looked over at Natalie, smiling slightly in her sleep, he looked around the room and saw a lot of empty bottles, sheets and clothes everywhere, Ewan was no where to be seen, he started to get up when he was pulled back down, “Where do you think you’re going?” the voice asked and he turned to see Natalie holding on his arm, “Thought you were asleep” he told her, “I was until I could not feel you next to me” she replied as he smiled his most cutest smile, making her blush, rubbing her head, “Do you have a pounding head like mine?” she asked, as he kissed her lips, “Yes and I can’t remember why” he replied as Ewan popped up, “Well, I might vaguely remember something” he spoke up, making them jump, “Ewan! What are you doing back there?” Natalie asked, “Waiting for the right time to pop up” he smirked, ducking as a pillow came his way, as Hayden and Natalie got up and moved over to the kitchen, “So what are we doing today, lovers?” he asked, Hayden only laughed, “first, getting rid of this pounding headache and then maybe head out to Bondi Beach” he told him, “that sounds lovely” Natalie spoke up, slipping her hands around his waist before he leaned in to kiss her, “Oh not again. Can you wait till I am out of the room?” Ewan asked, jokingly, ducking again as a cushion flew at him.

Jude and Rachel had finally gotten on a plane to Sydney, “Numerous plane delays, yeah right” Jude smudged, “Not every plane coming in needs to be late, it’s laziness. French laziness” he commented as Rachel looked up at him, “I agree, I just want to get to Sydney so I can really sink myself into a certain somebody” she told him, as he looked at her, “He was starting to like her only because she had the same thing in mind he had, although he was not letting her on his full plans for Hayden because she would find someone way to convince him not to go that far” he thought to himself, no she would wait, little did he know that she had taken one step in front of him, having a friend tracking their every movement.

Mischa stood right outside the hotel, with her sunglasses and stylish outfit, waiting for them to emerge; she could not believe that she was doing this, it just showed that Rachel was untrusting of Hayden, but of course, she did not know the real story behind this so she shouldn’t make any judgments. She quickly moved into a crowd nearby, when she saw them emerge, just like regular tourists-three of them. “Three of them! There were only two yesterday, where did the third come from? She thought, she watched move towards a nearby cab, his arm draped over her back, she returned the gesture by draping her arm around him and head on his shoulder, the other figure opening the door, Mischa noticed that he was looking around a lot, “were they hiding something and didn’t want to be caught? She thought, she quickly headed for the next cab. Maybe she was right in asking Rachel about what she had seen, maybe he was cheating on her?

Hayden and Natalie sat in the cab; he had noticed that Ewan was looking all around them ever since they left the hotel, “Ewan? Why are you so tensed? If they didn’t see you leave, its fine” Hayden told him as he looked at him, “I don’t know, they were very persistent with me about you, what’s to say they didn’t do that with anyone else?” he asked, as Natalie looked at him, “I knew Jude, he’s not very quick at putting together that you could do that” she replied as he sat back, “I hope you’re right. I mean I was careful but I will not be held responsible if they come here” he pointed out as Hayden laughed, “You worry too much” he told him as the cab drove through the city and out to Bondi.

Rachel reclined back in her seat on her way to Sydney, where she would finally get him back, she looked over at Jude, who had been smiling to himself the whole way, she wondered if he had planned more than she knew but she shook it off, before they left, she made one little threat/promise to him if he had planned anything rational:

“If you do anything to harm my boyfriend in front of my very own eyes, I will kill you right there and then. Do what you like with Ewan, take back your little girl, Natalie but harm Hayden and I will kill you for sure” she told him, as he packed his suitcase in the hotel room, he did not reply, but did flinch, “I’ll do what I want” he told her, she gritted her teeth, “I mean it, you harm him, I will kill you and Natalie won’t have you or Hayden” she told him as he continued to pack, “Whatever you say, I am there for one thing only” he lied as he closed his suitcase and headed out the room.

That one thing better be Natalie and not hurting Hayden, Rachel thought as she looked out at her window as the plane soared through the plane, she layed her head back, thinking what he was doing right now.

As the cab arrived in Bondi, Hayden was feeling relaxed, he knew Bondi from when he was last here and felt like he was home, the cab stopped just opposite the beach, the smell of the sea filled the cool air and the sound of hungry seagulls filled the sky above their heads, people walked by with their own business and neither of them, noticed the second cab to pulled up with just one person coming out of it, staying to the back, Ewan looked around, “Not bad, what shall we do?” he asked, “I’m feeling hungry, let’s get something to eat” Natalie replied as Hayden smiled, “good idea, I remember a place not too far that has beautiful food” he told them as they made their way down the street, Ewan looked around, smiling to himself when he saw the next place, he would dragged them to-“Just for fun” he thought to himself.

Natalie cuddled close to Hayden, looking at all the shops that they past by, as they passed a bridal store, Natalie looked in and saw the perfect dress she wanted, but she would come back later. It was even better than the dress she tried on in Paris. She admired it quickly before turning her head back against his’s shoulder.


[So things are catching up, what did Ewan see that he is taking them to? Is Mischa figuring out what Rachel is concerned about, what was the dress Natalie saw? How will Rachel get to Bondi without telling Jude she has Mischa following them? Stay tuned! It’s not over yet!][/i]

Chapter 21

Sitting out in the open air of the small outdoors/indoors café, Hayden, Natalie and Ewan enjoyed a lovely, filling lunch, although from Ewan’s point of view, Hayden and Natalie were sharing their food together, stopping ever few minutes to feed each other or sip their shared drink, Ewan couldn’t resist, “Now that’s a lovely lady and the tramp moment” he smirked as Natalie smirked, running her fingers through Hayden’s long, wavy, blond hair, “You’re not suggesting my baby here is a tramp” she asked as he smirked, “Well, he fits the profile” he laughed as Hayden threw a small bread roll at him, “I think someone doesn’t want his singing to be heard” he teased, “Hey, that’s just mean” he replied, as Hayden just laughed, “You know I was only kidding” he assured him as Natalie held out another bit of food from him but they shared a passionate kiss afterwards.

After what seem like an eternity, the plane landed at Sydney airport and Jude couldn’t be thrilled, “Finally, this is where is ends” he declared as Rachel looked up at him, “And not in any kind of injury life threatening” she reminded him, as he waved a hand at her, “Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now let’s get our bags and search for them” he replied, moving off to the baggage claim, not seeing Rachel behind him, pull out her phone and check in with her friend, who was suppose to be following Hayden and his friends.

Sitting in the indoor section of the exact restaurant, Mischa had been watching the trio of friends laugh and enjoy their time together, she was observing them closely, she jumped when her phone began to ring, “Hello” she answered, “Mischa, it’s Rachel, I’ve landed in Sydney, where are you?” she asked, as Mischa froze, she wanted to lie but she could tell Rachel was really angry, “In Bondi, along the beach front. In a café, but now they’re on the move, I’ll call you when I find out where they are next” she replied, “thanks, you do that” she told her, hanging up, Mischa dashed from the café, stealthily following the group.

Ewan pulled his two friends down the street, “Where are we going?” Hayden asked, “It’s a surprise. I saw this place on the way and I thought it would be an interesting place to visit” he replied, as he pulled them across the street towards the beach-to where it looked like had been a setting for a wedding that was now finished. As they got closer, he turned them around, “You have to close your eyes” he told them, “What? What’s going here? Natalie asked, “not telling” he smirked, leading them over and up the small steps of the gazebo and moved over to the side, “Now open your eyes” he told them and they opened their eyes, there was white ribbons, streamers down the poles and white and red roses layed around the edges, “Ewan? Did you do this?” they asked, as he smiled, “I wish. I saw this when we were walking to restaurant and thought we could have some practice” he replied, as Natalie blushed, “Oh this is just beautiful, even if it was the real day” she cried as Hayden pulled her in closer, “On the real day, you are going to truly shine” he told her, turning to Ewan, “Let’s get practicing” he smirked.

Rachel and Jude sat in the cab, on their way to Bondi, of course Jude did not why they were going to Bondi, and going on a ‘hunch’ that Rachel had that Hayden would be in Bondi because he talked about it so much when they first met. “Are you sure that he is still in Bondi?” he asked her, “I mean the city has a lot of to offer” he added, “Trust me, he loved spending time in Bondi, he is always there” she replied, staring out the window, “If you say, I would hate to think that you are lying” he told her, “Why would I lie if I want him back?” she asked sweetly, her brown eyes cutting through his’s as he rolled his eyes, “I suppose not” he muttered.

Mischa had been peeking through her hiding spot at the gazebo. “What were they doing they made them enjoy it? She could nothing but wait until Rachel and Jude arrived, then she could confront them but how would take her surprise reappearance. She didn’t notice the cab to turn into the street, looking for where she was.

Enjoying their little practice ceremony, Ewan continued, “Now the bride and groom have some vows they would like to say” he told them, winking, he muttered, “Just make something up for now” as Natalie went first, “Hayden, when I first met you, I thought that you were so sweet and charming. You were so helpful and when I thought you would be nervous on set, you showed me you weren’t and that made me relax” she told him, seeing him smile, “Over the times we had, you allowed me to enjoy myself and every day since Cannes, I had always felt sad like I made a huge mistake” she went on, “When I saw you in Rome, I wanted to run away with you then but couldn’t, you show me who I am and I am grateful for that” she finished as he held her close and Ewan nudged Hayden, “Hayden, do you have something to say?” he asked as he smiled and nodded.

Rachel ran over to Mischa, “What is going on? Where are they?” she asked, as she pointed over to the gazebo, Jude became angry once again, “What is going on? Oooh, he’s a dead man now!” he whispered, “it better not be with I think it is” Rachel replied as Mischa spoke up, “From what I’ve seen, it could be” as Jude stood up, “I’m going over there” he told them, emerging from the hiding spot.

“You are the most smart, funny, talented, beautiful girl I have met and I never wanted to lose you and I never will. From that very first moment I saw you, I was drawn to you and out of the girls I have been with, no one can compare to you” he told her, seeing her cry, “Seeing you with another man killed me and I wanted to run over and pull you away” he finished, as she cried, throwing her arms around him, “Not finish yet” Ewan told them, “Before you kiss, I need to……” his voice trailed off as he looked straight past them, at the two figures storming up the pathway to where they stood, Hayden and Natalie turned to look, tightening his grip on Natalie’s slim waist, they moved back, a look of horror, across their faces, both looked at each other, thinking the same thing: “What are they doing here? As they reached the steps, Jude stood there with his strong arms folded in front of him, Rachel standing next to him but he bored his eyes down on them, glaring at Hayden, who’s hands were all over Natalie, an awkward silence occurred but he spoke, “Natalie, you’re coming with me right now!” he demanded.

[What an awkward situation we have here? What will happen? Will true love be broken for Natalie and Hayden? Stay tuned! It’s not over yet]

Chapter 22

Holding a firm grip on Natalie, Hayden stared straight into Jude’s firm, angry eyes, “She’s not going anywhere” he spat back at him, taking one step closer, Jude snarled, “Oh yes, she is. She is my fiancé and I am here to win her back” he told her, “I think you’re too late” he smirked as Rachel stepped forward, “Hayden! You can’t be serious! She dumped you and left you heartbroken. What’s to say she want do it again?” she snapped, “Because I realise now that it was a mistake and I want to be with him” Natalie replied as Jude threw his arms up in the air, “I cannot believe this! You! You put these thoughts in her head!” he exclaimed to Hayden as Natalie stepped forward, “Don’t blame Hayden for what I done. I wanted to be with him. I ran away with him. You just sat in the hotel room waiting for a call” she replied, angrily, “Wait a minute. How did you know we were here?” Hayden asked, “That will be because of my great friend, Mischa” Rachel smirked, and slowly moving next to Rachel, “Hi, I’m so sorry, but I just wanted to make sure you hadn’t broken up with Rachel” she told him, “I can’t believe you” Hayden told her as she looked away, “That’s a true friend” Rachel pointed out, “Now, let’s settle this, Natalie, you’re coming with me and Rachel, you can go with Hayden” Jude explained, Natalie was not moving, “You don’t understand, Jude. I am in love with Hayden” she repeated, Jude was about to speak when he saw the sparkling sapphire, diamond ring on her finger, he grabbed her hand, “What is that!?!” he exclaimed, pulling back, she told him, “An engagement ring. Hayden proposed to me, on the top of the Harbour Bridge” she smirked, “What!?!” Rachel and Jude exclaimed, she stepped back to Hayden and slipped her hand into his’s, “How could you do that?” Rachel asked, “I’ll kill you!” Jude yelled, picking up his steps, not before Ewan knocked him out on the way, “Run, now!” he yelled to Hayden and Natalie, not before Rachel moved in front of them, “Not so fast, I was hoping I didn’t have to do this” she told them, reaching into her bag, Hayden and Natalie panicked, What was she about to do?

“Don’t move! Now back up” she told them, holding out a small pistol, “Rachel! What are you doing? Are you crazy?” Hayden asked, “No, I am in love with you and I want you back” she told him, as they continued to back up, “I’m sorry, I can’t do that. I’ve fallen in love with Natalie again” he replied as she cocked her gun, “well ,then, we’ll see about that” she smirked, aiming it at Natalie, neither saw Mischa pushed her away, “Go! I’ll take of her” she told them as Hayden grabbed a still shaking Natalie and ran from the gazebo as Ewan moved to follow them, he punched Jude in the stomach, “Leave my friends alone or you’ll get more of that!” he threatened, before running out of the gazebo.

Rachel pulled herself up from being knocked over, she moved over to Mischa and normally, she might friendly slap her, she punched her hard on the arm, “Why did you do that? That was the final straw and I would have had Hayden back” she told her as Mischa coldly looked at her, “you can’t just kill someone because you want someone back” she replied, “They weren’t not listening!” Rachel protested, “I was there but shooting someone want change anything. If anything, you would have pushed Hayden away farther” she explained as Jude slowly stood up, holding out to his stomach, “First, he steals my fiancé then he proposes to her! He is so dead as well as Ewan, no one punches me!” he exclaimed, before falling back on his knees, still in pain from the blow from Ewan as Rachel knelt beside him, “Don’t you worry, you’ll get her back and this will all be over” she assured him as Mischa stood back, “Why are they pushing themselves too far? Can’t they see that it will never go back to before” she thought, moving over to the railing, feeling the soft breeze in her hair.

Natalie was still shaking even as they headed back into the city; Rachel was going to shoot her, because she wanted Hayden back. As he held her close to him, she wondered if she should just go back to Jude and leave Rachel with Hayden. Her heart belonged with Hayden, she was getting married to him. She loved him and she wanted to be with him. She leaned in close to him, softly closing her eyes as Hayden sighed, “I can’t believe Rachel did that. She was going to shoot her” he told Ewan, “it was unbelievable but I feel good about punching Jude” he replied, placing his hands behind his head, laughing before he did a high five with Hayden, “Good one! That will teach him” Hayden added, looking over at Natalie, who’s head was resting against his shoulder, “I think Natalie’s been shaken up more than ever” he pointed out, “I would if a gun was pointed at me” Ewan replied, “I’m worried now, she’ll run away from me, because she’s afraid she’ll become a target of Rachel’s” he explained, “That’s been paranoid. I’ve seen how she looks at you and what she said to you at the gazebo, that was all love” he explained to him, making Hayden smile as the cab pulled up to their hotel and Ewan stepped out, followed by Hayden with Natalie in his arms and moving into the hotel.

“He really packs a punch, doesn’t he?” Jude asked, “I can see that he does” Rachel replied, “And look at you, with your gun and you tell me not to hurt Hayden when you were going to hurt Natalie!” he exclaimed, “So I lied, I was fed up and took it further” she shrugged, “It doesn’t matter. You lied and pulled a fast one on me” he told her as she waved a hand, “It doesn’t matter because we are back where we were before” she told them and moved out onto the balcony where Mischa stood, “I still can’t believe you stop me” she told her, “I had to. You went too far. I knew Hayden, if something happens that affects him, he forms an anger on the person who caused it and I didn’t want that to be you” she informed her as Rachel looked down and smiled, “Well, if you put it that way, I understand” she replied, giving a friendly embrace to her friend.

Hayden had placed Natalie on the bed in the hotel room, she looked so peaceful and looked like she was lost in a sweet dream, but as he layed next to her, he didn’t really know what she was dreaming of.

Natalie felt like she was on a horror movie set, it was dark and cold. She looked down and found herself in a very uncomfortable outfit-she was in a short, short black leather skirt and a black, leather bikini. She looked around, gasping as she saw Hayden strapped to a nearby table, his eyes were closed, blood seeping out from wounds on his face, arms and chest. She ran over to him and shook, “Hayden! Please wake up, please!” she cried, looking around, she saw Ewan, with his arms and legs chained to the wall, his eyes were closed and he was sporting wounds to his face, arms and chest, she ran over to him, “Please wake up, please!” she cried, until a voice entered the room, “They won’t wake and they may never will” they told her as she turned to Jude standing there, a scar down his face, “What have you done?” she cried, “Put them into a deep sleep after I had my fun with them for taking you away from me. Rachel was against it so she is long gone” he smirked as she cried, “How can I save them?” she cried, “Join me and be my loving wife” he told her as she cried, “No, I can’t. I don’t love you anymore” she cried as he moved over to Hayden, “Oh well, then say goodbye to your former finance” he told her, lifting a knife and plunging it into his body as she cried out.

Natalie lunged upright on the bed as Hayden looked at her “What is it, what’s wrong?” he asked, she just grabbed him and pulled him in closer, “I don’t want to lose you ever” she cried as he held her, “I will never leave you. What’s wrong?” he asked, holding her close. “I just had this horrible dream, which was more like a nightmare, in which Jude had Ewan and you in a deep coma then he killed you because I didn’t marry him and I am scared that he will do something like that” she cried into his shirt, “Natalie, it was only a dream. That will never happen” he assured her, looking into her round, brown eyes now flowing with tears, “I am here to watch over you” he promised her, leaning in to kiss her, “I [kisses her] love [kisses] you [kisses] and [kisses] always [kisses] will” he told her as he laid soft romantic kisses on her lips, “That is so sweet” she replied, holding him close, before he broke into a smile, “So what exactly happened?” he asked as she looked at him, “Please don’t remind me” she replied just as Ewan was coming out of the bathroom, “Remind you of what?” he asked, “Nothing” Natalie quickly replied, “Natalie had kind of nightmare like one of those horror movies” Hayden smirked, as Ewan smiled, “Really? How was it a nightmare?” he smirked, as Natalie hit Hayden and moved off the bed, “I don’t want to talk about it. It was horrible” she snapped, grabbing a drink from the small bar, “Sorry, we were only kidding” Hayden told her, “It’s not something to kid about” she told them as Hayden moved over and pulled her into his embrace, “I won’t kid about it again. We’ll never bring it up again” he smiled, tenderly kissing her as Ewan cut in “Do you have to do that every time I am in the room?” he asked as they glared at him, “Ewan!” they exclaimed, before cracking up into laughter.

“Well, we have to do something?” Jude told them, “We can’t let them get away with this” he added as Rachel sat on the armchair, “Well ,what can we do, nothing will work” she confessed as Mischa spoke it from the kitchen, “Well, what if you just keep following them and work out a plan when you are right in front of them?” she suggested as Jude looked at her, “That is perfect. We will keep following them and plot a plan and implement it then” he told her as Rachel jumped up, “Mischa, you are a genius! It’s too perfect. It will certainly catch them off guard” she pointed out as Jude popped open a bottle of wine, and they toasted their new plan, “They won’t know what had hit them!” they laughed.

Natalie cuddled closer to Hayden as they sat on their lounge, watching television, Natalie looked up at Hayden, who had fallen asleep. She just watched him, he was so sexy and cute when he slept, his soft eyes softly closed and his mouth in a little curl. She snuggled up more, wondering what was he thinking of, juggling by his face, it must have been her…or was it?

Hayden looked around the supposedly empty, cold dark room, his shirt had been ripped off and he wore only tight l pants that felt like they were almost cutting off his circulation. He sat up and looked around, hearing a slight scream and he saw Natalie in a short skirt and leather bikini, her hair a mess, wounds over her arms, stomach, face and legs and she was strapped down to a cold, metal table running as fast as he could, he shook, “Natalie! Are you alright?” he asked, his voice a little shaky, she couldn’t move her arms, “Oh sweetie, what’s happening?” she whispered as he kissed her, “I don’t know but we will get out of this” he assured her, hearing another moan and he saw Ewan on another table, “Ewan! Are you alright?” he asked, “Does it look like I am?” he joked sarcastically, “Hang on, I’ll get you out of here” he told them, starting to work on Natalie’s binds when he felt the cold surface of a gun near his neck, “I would stop right now” came a cold voice, slowly turning around, he saw a familiar pair of dark brown eyes, “Rachel! What are you doing to us?” he asked, “I warn you to come back with me and look what happened” she replied, “Let us out of here!” he yelled, she rolled her eyes, “No, I don’t want to do that” she replied, moving forward, she stroked his arm, “Unless you come back with me” she seductively added, “No, I can’t. I love Natalie now” he told her, “Fine!” she exclaimed, pushing him out of the way, “Then prepare to say goodbye to her” she told him, moving on the table, she pulled out a long, sharp, butcher’s knife as Hayden’s eyes went wide, with horror as she brought the knife down as he screamed but it was too late. It was done.

Hayden snapped opened his eyes as Natalie nearly fell off, “What’s wrong? Something bad?” she asked, as he held her, “I can’t talk about it, it’s too horrible. I just want to hold you and never let go” he told her as he pulled her on top of him so she was looking down into his shiny blue eyes, she smiled, “Whatever happened in your nightmare, I [kisses] will [kisses] not [kisses] let [kisses] that [kisses] happened” she told him, showering him with kisses as he smiled back, returning the kisses.

[What a surprising chapter! Are Hayden and Natalie feeling bad for their old partners and considering the unthinkable? What kind of plans will Jude and Rachel devise? Will they be successful in breaking the couple? Stay tuned-it’s about to get a whole lot rocker]

[sexystarwarslover]

Chapter 23

[Okay, so the last chapter was a little upsetting, it was only because I wanted to stretch out the story more. I don’t want it to end just yet. There is light at the end but I just wanted to have one or two more obstacles to overcome, hope you still enjoy]

Natalie had not slept all night, afraid of another terrible nightmare that almost felt too real. So she had spent all night curled up on the lounge, trying to stay awake. One thing she kept thinking of is the beautiful wedding dress at the bridal store in Bondi. She knew she had to go back and get it before she lost her chance. She was thinking about the beautiful dress that she didn’t see Hayden coming up behind her, “Hey, are you coming to bed at all tonight?” he asked, as she spun around in her spot, “Oh Hayden, you startled me” she replied as he sat down next to her, “Are you alright?” he asked, “I can’t sleep because I am afraid that I’ll have that nightmare again” she told him, nearly in tears as he pulled her in closer, “It’s okay. It was just a dream. It’s not going to happen” he told her, “Now let’s go to bed, you need some sleep” he told her, lifting her into his strong arms as she smiled, “Okay, as long as you’re next to me” she replied as he carried her over to the bed, placing her on the soft covers, before sliding in next to her and drifting to sleep.

If Natalie was worried about having anymore nightmares, it was all for nothing because it had turned out that Hayden was having the nightmares:

Instead of being in a small, dark room, Hayden found himself in a throne room, no sign of Natalie or Ewan anywhere but suddenly a laugh filled the room, “It’s nice to see you drop by” the voice laughed as Hayden saw the face of Rachel staring at him, “I suppose you’re wondering where your little friends are” she smirked, “What have you done to them?” he demanded, “Nothing……yet” she replied, “I want to play a little game” she laughed “I don’t want to play any of your sick games” he spat as her eyes blinked, “Really? Not even to save your beautiful finance” she told him, and with a snap of her fingers, a fighting Natalie, dressed in a short, short black skirt, leather bikini top and leather boots was dragged before him, her eyes lit up when she saw Hayden, “Natalie!” he yelled, “Hayden!” she gasped, as Rachel moved over to her, “She’s been a tough one. Always screaming for you, which I hate” she told him angrily, “Let her go now!” he exclaimed, “No, because that’s not part of the game” she replied, as she waved her hand and Natalie was dragged away, but not before, she fought her way free, and ran over to Hayden, who held her close, “Are you alright. Has she hurt you?” he asked, his voice shaky with worry, “just a few cuts and bruises” she replied, “Oh, you little sneak. This is the last straw” she snarled, grabbing her small weapon, she fired and before Hayden could push her out of the way, she was hit in the back and fell in his arms, his eyes went wide with horror as he held close to him, “Natalie! Natalie!” he screamed.

Natalie sat on the edge of the bed and Ewan stood at the foot of the bed, both with looks of worry and fright on their faces, “Should we do something? Wake him up?” Ewan suggested, “How?” she asked, “Touch him” he suggested as Natalie ran her fingers down his soft face, “Hayden, baby, please wake up” she cried, as Ewan smirked, “I have an idea” he told her, disappearing into the bathroom, remerging with a bucket of water, “Rise and shine!” he exclaimed, throwing the cold water on Hayden, who’s eyes sprung open, looking over at him, “What was that for?” he asked, now dripping water from his hair down to his pants, “Well, you were having some kind of weird dream and we couldn’t get you up” he smirked as Natalie crawled over to him, her soft, hand slipped across his strong, muscular chest, “What happened?” she asked, “I had another nightmare and this one felt like it was too real and no matter what I did I couldn’t get up” he replied, “It made you seem you were having a fit” Ewan pointed out, then pointed at Natalie, “She was so scared, that she was shaking all over him” he told him as he turned to look into her beautiful brown eyes, “You were scared for me?” he smiled, as she leaned in to kiss his luscious lips, “Yes, very” she smiled as he pulled her over him, returning her sweet kisses.

Jude stood standing out the hotel where they were staying, “This is crazy. They might not even be going anywhere today” he pointed out as Rachel slapped him, twice in two hours, “Stop complaining! They can’t stay inside all day, just because we are here. It’s not like him especially” she replied as Jude rolled his eyes, “You better be right about this” he muttered seeing Mischa coming out on the hotel, “Okay, I managed to trick the manager into slipping a few details to me and he says he hasn’t seen them all day but apparently they did not sleep much last night because they were calling for room service all night. He doesn’t know why” she informed them, “Probably plotting some revenge attack on us” Rachel replied, as she looked up to the hotel, hoping she could spot them on their balcony.

“Natalie! Are you crazy! I am not letting you go to Bondi without me!?!” Hayden exclaimed, “I need to go back there. I saw something I need to buy as soon as possible” she argued back, “Then I am going with you” he told her, “No, you can’t see it……yet” she smirked, then Hayden looked around, before pointing at Ewan, “Then Ewan will go with you, then we’ll meet up at the Juice bar” he told her, “I’ll allow that but Ewan has to promise me that he will not mention what happened at the shop” she told him as Ewan smirked, “Oh, I like where this is going” he put in as Hayden rolled his eyes, moving over for a clean shirt to change into, “it’s not like that” he corrected him as Natalie moved over to Hayden, wrapping her arms around his waist, “Sweetheart, I know you want to protect me, but by doing this, you are allowing me to buy something you will be pleased with and glad you let me go” she smirked, running a hand down his arm, as he looked her in a funny way, “Well then, we better get going before we do miss out” he replied, escorting her out the room as Ewan watched them go, “Oh fine, so I have to just follow then. No, come on Ewan, let’s get a move on?” he asked out loud, but grabbing a jacket and running to catch up.

“Let’s just go, they’re not coming out today” Jude told them, as Rachel rolled her eyes, “You’re so negative. You never want to just learn patience” she replied as he stared coldly at her, “Well, SOME people might pull another trick on me if I leave them alone” he informed her, referring to her little stunt at the gazebo with the gun, “oh yeah, well if you hadn’t….” she was cut off by Mischa, “Shut up guys, here they come” she told them as they turned in her direction and sure enough, there they were, Hayden’s arm around her waist, Natalie’s arm around his’s and Ewan, running out to catch up with them, “They are really pushing it, aren’t they” Jude asked out loud as Rachel moved over to their taxi, “Yeah, well, they’ll get what’s coming to them” she replied, indicating for them to follow her into the taxi so they didn’t lose them.

This time, the trip to Bondi was quicker than usual as Ewan pointed out, “Aren’t we lucky getting all the lights in our favour” he smiled as Natalie just laughed, “Maybe they know we’re coming through” she suggested as Hayden only looked at her, “You are so cute today” he informed her as she shook her head, “Awe, you are too handsome today” she replied, pulling him in for a romantic kiss as the cab came to a stop outside the beach front and they all climbed out, “Okay, so now what?” Ewan asked, “You and me are going down this way and Hayden is going to the juice bar that way” she pointed out as he held her, “hurry up or I’ll miss you” he informed her as she gave him a long, passionate kiss before whispering, “That’s going to stay with you while I am gone” she smirked before moving down the street with Ewan.

“Did you see how long that kiss was?” Rachel asked, “I know, did they even break for air?” Jude asked as Mischa sat on the other side, “I thought it was cute” she muttered as Rachel glared at her, “Yeah right” she snorted moving to jump out of the taxi, Jude leaned out the window, “Do you remember the plan we talked about just then?” he asked, “yes, I followed Hayden and strike up a conversation and when I see Natalie and Ewan heading up, I do my thing” she smirked, wiggling her hips as Jude clicked his fingers, “There you go. Then if everything goes well, the second part of the plan will work” he added before Rachel laughed and headed in Hayden’s direction.

Natalie looked into the three way mirror just like she had done in Paris, but unlike Paris, she felt much happier. The stunning white glimmering strapless dress look divine on her slender figure and her face showed her emotion, “You are going to blow him away in that dress” Ewan told her as she smiled, “I know. I love it” she replied as he added, “He can truly call you an angel dressed like that” seeing her blush bright red, making him jokingly add, “Okay, well now the colour’s wrong” as she laughed, “Ewan!” she exclaimed, stepping off the small steps, “I’m taking it now” she proudly told him, heading off to change as Ewan moved over to wait by the counter.

Hayden stood waiting outside the bar. What was she doing to take so long? He wondered, taking another small sip of his drink, he did not see the figure creep up behind him, “I forgot that you come here” they spoke as he froze. He knew that voice, turning around to meet them, “Rachel! What are you doing? Are you following me?” he asked as she waved her hand, “No, I was just shopping around and I spotted you from where I was standing and thought I come and say hi” she replied as he stared at her, “I am still not talking to you about what you did at the gazebo” he informed her as she laughed, touching his arm softly and flirtiest, “I know I am sorry about that” she smiled as he moved back slightly, feeling very uncomfortable in his position right now.

Natalie strolled the fresh streets with Ewan, the smell of seawater filled the air and the sound of seagulls filled the air, it was a perfect place to be as they made their way to the juice bar. The wedding dress neatly placed into a box now tucked under her arm, “Do you think Hayden will be upset we took too long?” she asked as Ewan laughed, “He will be a first but then he will forget about it” he confidently told her, “He’ll make a joke comment about taking our sweet time and what where we doing” he added as Natalie laughed, “That’s Hayden. Always a sweet, funny guy” she pointed out “And that’s why I love him” she told him, as they saw the Juice bar coming into view.

Rachel saw them first coming in view behind over Hayden’s shoulder and she smirked, “Okay Rachel, time to do your thing” her mind told her as she smiled into Hayden’s beautiful blue eyes, “Oh Hayden, you are such a great guy and I just wanted to tell you that….” She stopped and grabbed him, kissing him passionately on the lips.

Natalie stopped when she had seen what had happened, her mouth hung open and she was nearly in tears. He was kissing her and not fighting her. Ewan looked over at her, “I’m sure this is just some trick” he spoke out as Natalie could feel the tears in her eyes, “I...I...I have to go” she stuttered and ran back down the street, Ewan looked at Hayden, thinking he can handle this himself, took off to chase after Natalie.

Hayden quickly pulled back, “What are you doing?” he asked, “One last kiss” she smiled innocently, “I am with Natalie now” he told her, as she laughed, “That bony little thing. She doesn’t have half the beauty I do” she told him, flicking back her shiny brown hair as Hayden could feel the blood boil inside him, “She is the most beautiful woman I have ever been with” he told her as she reached up and slapped him, “How dare you say that!” she snapped.

Natalie ran as fast as her legs could take her. She could not believe what she had seen, he was kissing her and not pushing her away. If he really did love her, then he would have pushed her back straight away, Natalie just kept on running, trying not to hear the calls of her name, thinking it was Hayden, she couldn’t even look at him now. She was almost to the end of the long, narrow footpath when a long, dark shadow blocked her path, looking up, she saw the usual now angry eyes of Jude’s staring down at her, “Jude! What are you doing here? Stalking me?” she asked as he only just laughed, “No, just taking you back to who you truly belong with” he replied, grabbing her by the arm, she tried to fight her way free but he was too strong and grabbing her package, he threw it down on the footpath, pushing her into the taxi before getting himself before the taxi sped off.

Ewan had seen it all, he had tried to scream her name before she ran into him but she didn’t hear him. Now look what has happened, Jude had kidnapped Natalie and Rachel has tried to successfully ruin Hayden loving relationship with Natalie. He bent down and picked up the now, half wrecked box containing the dress and he shook his head, “I warned you Jude. Hurt my friends and you’ll be getting more punches than before” he thought, turning back the way he came and back to Hayden.

Hayden turned and saw him coming towards him, “Where’s Natalie?” he asked as Ewan looked straight at Rachel, his hazel blue eyes cutting through her’s making her shy away, trying to run away but he was too fast and grabbed her right arm, “Not so fast. Jude and you planned all this, didn’t you?” he asked as she smiled, “I don’t know what you’re talking about” she told him as he shook her, “Don’t play with me. I know what you have planned. You kiss Hayden, Natalie sees, you expect her to run, then Jude kidnaps her back” he informed her as Hayden’s eyes nearly popped out, “Jude did what!?!” he exclaimed, “it’s for the best. Jude wants Natalie and I got you” she replied as Hayden pushed her out of the way, “No, I only have Natalie and I am intent on winning her back” he informed her angrily, storming off down the footpath as Ewan waved a finger at her, “get in our way and you will have me to deal with him as well as Hayden” he threatened, running to catch up to Hayden.

Natalie suddenly felt very frightened, like she had fallen into her nightmare, “Jude, please let me go. I don’t love you anymore” she cried as he laughed, “It was false love” he replied as he moved even closer to her, trying to kiss her neck, “I loved you and given you more than he has ever given you” he told her as she pushed him away, “No, Jude, don’t” she cried, “My feelings for Hayden have developed and I am going to marry him” she firmly told him as he raised a hand to slap her but pulled back, “You think that but things are going to change” he smirked as Natalie turned away to look out the window, she softy whispered, “Hayden, please come and rescue me fast!”

Chapter 24

Note: This is a chapter that will have sad and happy parts and the song in between, I felt I needed something to illustrate my point and I remember this song and I thought it would be perfect.

Hayden stormed into his hotel room, too angry to speak to anyone, “I send you to make sure nothing happens to her and look what happened!” he exclaimed as Ewan slowly entered the room, “Hey! I will have you know that this is your fault! If you hadn’t been sharing a kiss with Rachel, she wouldn’t have ran off and into Jude” he argued back, “She can run fast, you know” he added, seeing Hayden’s face, “Still, you didn’t run up and pull her back off him?” he pointed as Ewan smirked, “Now why didn’t I do that?” he asked innocently as Hayden grabbed him by his jacket and pinned him against the wall, “I am not joking! This is no time for asking stupid questions! Natalie is out there and I am going to get her back” he told him, dropping him, watching him slid down the cream, narrow wall, “I guess I deserve that, but do you even know where they went?” he asked, as Hayden looked over, rolling his eyes, “No, but he couldn’t have gone that far?” he replied, grabbing a small, round wish globe on the table, “And I swear that when I find them, I want to feel Jude’s neck in my hands!” he yelled, throwing the small globe across the room, seeing it smash into thousands of small pieces.

Natalie had been pulled into a smaller room, making her feel like she was in her nightmare. She knew that they weren’t at his hotel anymore, in fact, she didn’t know what part of the city she was in. Along the way, Jude had gone to great lengths to making sure she didn’t know where they were going so she didn’t call Hayden or Ewan to come and find her. Looking around the small, dimly lit room, she didn’t see much to do, so she just curled up on the nearby, single bed and before long she was asleep against the cool, softness of the pillow.

It was designed to be set up like a giant maze and she was trapped in the middle. Unable to move and shivering from the coldness of the night air, in her simple, revealing outfit, she screamed as loud as she could, hoping she could be heard. The tears feel down her cheeks until she heard a reply, “Natalie! Where are you?” they screamed as she screamed out, “Trapped in the middle, please come to me” she shouted back as he replied, “I am on my way” then she heard, “How do we work our way around?” before laugh, “I thought you would never ask” and she heard the sound of a chainsaw or something and minutes, she saw his face, running over to her and untying her from the metal pole that held her, she ran her soft, cold hands over his face, “You found me. I knew you would” she told him as he slipped his coat off and wrapped it around her, “I would never give up on you” he smiled, pulling her in closer, they shared a passionate, sweet kiss but a shining bright light shone over them, “Hold it right there! No one is leaving!” a booming voice shouted, before the figure of Jude landed in front of them, “I knew you would come but sadly this is where it ends” he told them, he fired a silver bullet from his small hand held weapon straight into Hayden’s strong chest, Natalie screamed in horror, holding him, pleading with him to stay with her, but he softly touched her face then he was gone.

A sudden loud bang brought her back to reality, it was all just a terrible dream but felt like it was real. Jude had gone mad with intent on winning her back but she didn’t want him back, she wanted to be with Hayden. She slowly stood up and moved over to the small window in the room, staring out at the night sky, Come back to me, my darling, before it’s too late.

Hayden was staring out over the dazzling city of Sydney but it just didn’t feel the same without Natalie in his arms, softly feeling the tear run down his face, his thoughts went back to Natalie, the way she looked at him with her eyes, her hands running through his wavy, blond hair, the way she held onto him when the dance and he suddenly remembered how he told her he would always be there for her. He slowly but softly began to sing a song he remembered playing when they had their first date:

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

Chorus:
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said

Watching from the small, enclosed kitchen, Ewan watched him, just standing there. He was a man who was hurt, trying to find romance and some people just take it away with a click of his fingers, he had an idea, he needed to know more to Jude so he could plan a revenge attack on his own, and he knew just the old friend who would help him and Hayden, if he didn’t have a plan of his own. Slipping out into the long hotel foyer, he pulled out his phone and dialed their number, smirking at the sound of their voice, he replied, “hello, old friend, long time no hear from” he laughed.

Rachel stormed into the front room where Jude had been talking with Mischa, “You better hoped this works because now I have angered Hayden more and Ewan is also threatening me!” she exclaimed as Jude laughed, “Relax, you were great. It worked and now we can begin construction on plan b” he informed her as she flicked back her long, dark brown hair, “Does it involve me punching the life out of my boyfriend’s fiancé?” she asked, seeing Jude flinch, “No. Absolutely not, we need to talk about what we can to do to destroy their love once and for all” he told her, seeing Rachel smile but neither saw Mischa, shy away and out of the room.

It had been hours since she had last seen Jude, what the hell was he doing? She wondered. She sat huddled on the bed, when she heard the sound of the locks on the huge, wooden door to her room unlock and in stepped a figure, barely recognizable because of the poor light, “Who are you?” she asked, “Someone who doesn’t know who to believe” they replied, moving over to the single bed and sitting down, Natalie squinted hard and the face of Hayden’s friend, Mischa, “Mischa! I thought you were against us?” she asked, “Only because Rachel is my friend, or at least, I think she is” she informed her as Natalie jumped to it, “Are you here to help me get out of here?” she asked, “Not yet, but in time. I will tell you this, Jude is planning to destroy your relationship with Hayden so you can go back to him and Hayden to Rachel. They are going to plan something but I don’t know when, but I will let you know” she assured her, getting up to leave, she turned back, “I’m sorry for bringing them here. I saw the love Hayden has for you and I will help you” she added, leaving the room, Natalie layed back against the bed, Maybe she was his friend after her and maybe there was some light at the end of the tunnel after all.

Hayden had not seen Ewan in the last two hours and he was not answering his phone. They needed to be out looking for her now, but he needed Ewan’s help because maybe, they could start with the taxi driver who helped Jude escape but only Ewan knew what license the car was so he was stuck in his cosy, comfy hotel room while Natalie was who knows where. He was full of all this anger that he was taking it out on anything he could find, smashed bottles and small room objects filled the cream coloured carpet as Hayden flopped onto the lounge, holding an half drunken bottle in his right hand, hoping not to fall asleep, it wasn’t long before his anger had tired him out and he was fast asleep on the lounge.

Hayden felt like he was back in medieval time. In front of him was a huge, gray stoned castle with lookout towers on either side. He quickly heard the sound of horses scurrying alone, ducking into some nearby bushes, he saw four light brown horses galloping alone the brown dirt path and Hayden’s eye went wide, there was Natalie, dressed like a beautiful princess, in a long, purple and pink ballroom like dress, her hair woven in a plait flowing down her back, her eyes remained stern. It seemed like she was just a princess but he saw that her hands were held in chains and the driver was Ewan! Why was Ewan the driver? He slowly crept along, following the carriage, and watching the carriage pull to a stop, Natalie was pulled from the carriage to a small group waiting outside the large front doors, “Ah, the beautiful and fair princess Natalie” said the first person, it was Jude, “Where’s the so called man who dared to take you away from me?” he asked, “Far away from you, and he will come for me, you’ll see” she told him, he laughed, “I’d like to see him try” he replied, Hayden had suddenly realized he was that man! He didn’t have time to think of his next step because he was hoisted by two guards to his feet, “look who have here, the King will be pleased with you” one told him, dragging him over to the group, “Your highness, we have found him” they told him as Natalie gasped in horror, “Well, well, princess. You made have tricked me but I have the last laugh” he told her, moving over to Hayden, “You shall die, for kidnapping and treason against the King, trying to rob of his Queen” he spat at him, turning to Ewan, he slapped him, “You may have fooled my men but not me, you shall die with him” he declared, “Take them to the execution chambers!” he yelled, pulling Natalie in closer, “You, my dear will enjoy this” he sneered as she turned back to Hayden, her eyes filled with tears, mouthing, “I love you”.

The rest of the dream was a blur but it was horrible. He felt trapped in that time and no matter what happened, Jude always won and successfully broke them up. Natalie was the beautiful, irrestible Princess, promised to be with the evil King and he was the simple boy who truly loved her but was punished for loving her. The terror of the dream felt all too real, remembering the last kiss Natalie give him before he was led out to die.

Ewan entered the hotel room with his old friend, hearing a slight panic, “Oh no, not again” he muttered as his friend looked at him, “What’s wrong?” they asked, “Another nightmare” he replied, moving into the bathroom and re-emerging seconds later with another bucket of icy, cold water, “What’s that for?” they asked, “Shh, you’ll wreck my fun” he smirked, creeping over to the lounge, he saw Hayden tossing and turning around, he threw the water over him and ducked back down, Hayden sat up in a cold sweat but found water dripping off him and soaking his clothes, he knew who it was, “Ewan!” he exclaimed, as he heard a laugh, “What gave it away?” he laughed, “Well, the water for starters” he replied, “Well, you were having another nightmare again and I knew I had to get you up” he informed him as Hayden stared at him, “And where have you been?” he asked, before looking over at the other figure standing nearby, “Who’s this?” he added as Ewan smiled more, “They are the reason I was out. I think they may just help us out in our problem” he added, “Hayden, meet my good friend Nicole” he introduced and Hayden saw a gorgeous woman with long, blond hair step over to where the two men were, “It’s nice to meet you” she smiled.

[Another chapter, another new figure enters, how was this chapter? Are these nightmares showing more than just tales? Is Mischa really telling Natalie the truth about helping her? Can Nicole help Ewan and Hayden out in finding Jude, Rachel and Natalie before it’s too late? Stick around, it’s getting deeper!]

[sexystarwarslover]

Chapter 25

“How can she help us!?!” Hayden snapped at Ewan who looked over at Nicole, who seemed a bit confused at what was happening, “I know you are angry and are snappy but she could very well help us work out Jude’s motives” Ewan snapped back at Hayden, “She has in fact with Jude, which sparked a rumoured romance between them” he informed him, “And that will help us how?” Hayden impatiently asked, “Well, she knows what he’s like and what he does romantically” he answered him, “Ewan told me what Jude had done and I think he may have gone too far and I am willing to help you get back your finance” Nicole happily told him, smiling brightly as Hayden tried to smile back, “Well, I guess I appreciate all the help we can get” he replied as Ewan clapped his hands, “This is brilliant! We are now going to get somewhere!” he exclaimed as Nicole and Hayden stared at him, “Not quite, first we need to get everything into fact and Ewan, try and remember how he escaped with her” she informed him as Ewan headed into the kitchen to grab some drinks, “That shouldn’t be too hard” he laughed as Hayden only rolled his eyes, looking over to a small framed photo of Natalie and him together and he hoped they wouldn’t be too late.

Natalie now sat on a comfortable leather lounge, in a beautifully decorated part of the building she was in, she wore a beautiful, powerful red dress that Mischa had brought in her for, telling her that Jude wanted her to wear this. Everything was beautifully laid into place. She didn’t want to be here, she didn’t love him and this couldn’t possibly work, getting to her feet, she quickly moved for the exit when a figure blocked her, “Fleeing somewhere?” they asked, as she looked up, backing further in the room, “Jude, this was a mistake. I don’t love you anymore. I love Hayden” she informed him as he moved her as she backed further away, reaching out, he grabbed her hand, “If it is because of this” he started, slipping the diamond, sapphire ring off her finger, throwing across the room, landing with a loud ping against the floor, “Now we no longer have a problem” he smirked, as she stared at the corner where the ring had landed, her hand reached up and slapped him, “What do I have to do to show you I’ve moved on?” she asked, almost in tears, Jude stared in anger, making her feel uncomfortable in her spot, slipping his arms around her small waist, squeezing hard, “It is all lie. He is playing you” he informed her as Natalie cried, “No, no, he’s not” she spat, forcefully pushing him off her and running from the room as Rachel, watching from the side, stepped into the light, “So much for your big plan working” she laughed as Jude shot her a cold look, “Stop, this will work and she will be back in my arms” he firmly informed her.

Natalie ran into her small, dark room, her red dress flowing behind her, “Hayden’s playing you” the words rang in her head, it couldn’t be true. He proposed to her, he made her feel safe, looking after her. She clutched onto her pillow, as wet drops of tears fell onto the clean white pillow. She wanted Hayden to come and rescue her, she tried to stay awake but overcome with tears and sadness she had tired herself out and felt her eyes softly close.

Natalie looked around and found herself in a small, dark, room, looking out the small, arch window, she found herself high in a castle, dressed in a beautiful pink and cream ball room dress, chained to the wall. She watched Jude pace the room before her, “Princess Natalie, until you reveal where you have sent your young lover. You shall remain here where no one shall find you” he informed her, Natalie remained strong, “I shall never tell you. He will find me and I will marry him” she replied, as he laughed, “Not before I kill you and him” he laughed, walking out, slamming the door behind him, Natalie sat and wept, until she heard a voice coming from outside the Tower, “Natalie! Are you up there?” they whispered, she slowly moved over as much as she could and saw Hayden smiling up at her, “how did you find me?” she asked, “I followed your carriage and I am to rescue you” he told her, as she smiled, “I knew you would” she smiled as she stepped back as he threw a rope up and began to climb up, until he held her in his arms, “I am glad you are here but he’s looking for you and he will kill you if he finds you” she cried, “I am willing to take the risk just to kiss you again” he smiled, as he pulled her in for a kiss until a voice broke the moment, “How touching, but now I take over” Jude told them, calling his guards who broke the couple apart, he took out his sword, “You worthless peasant. The princess is off limits and you were intending to take her away from me?” he asked as Hayden only looked his deathly in the eyes, “You think you have won but you will fail” he spat, “Take him away!” he shouted, pulling Natalie along, “This will enjoy this, this time” he whispered in her ear.

Natalie’s eyes sprung open, it was all a dream but they were becoming worse. It was like a horrible alternate reality set in the past; she looked around and found the door open, feeling like she was being watched she looked around, “Hello? Who’s in here?” she asked, looking around, she jumped back when she saw who it was, “Mischa! Why are you sneaking in for?” she asked, “Well, you were asleep, so I didn’t want to wake you but I need to warn you that Jude is going to use you to get to Hayden and he will kill him right in front of you” she told him, as Natalie gasped, she was about to argue when they heard another voice, “Mischa! What are you doing in here?” they asked, “Jude, I was only telling Natalie to snap out of it and move back to you” she lied, winking at Natalie as he moved over, waving her off, “Okay, well be gone now” he snapped, as Natalie slipped away, “Jude, I want you to leave. I don’t love you and when Hayden comes, you’ll see” she angrily informed him, “You were always so hard to get” he replied, pushing her down on the ground, then leaving abruptly, as she looked up at the door closing behind him, her eyes swelling up with tears.

Hayden was getting impatience, moving from the table he exclaimed, “Ewan! This is too much! We should be out there searching not drawing up plans!” as Ewan rolled his eyes, “And what do you expect to do when you find Jude. He’s probably has something all planned out” he pointed out, “You have too much anger ever since you found out he took her” he added, as Hayden pushed him away, “Don’t tell me how much anger I have!” he shouted, grabbing a jacket, he abruptly left the hotel room as Nicole moved over to Jude, “This may be a bad time but I think I may know where Jude is” she pointed out as Ewan stared at her, “Now you say that when he leaves!” he exclaimed, “Come on, we have to go and find him” he explained to her, grabbing her hand and dashing from the door.

Hayden angrily stormed from the hotel, he was too furious with everyone-Ewan for letting Jude just take Natalie, Jude for even thinking about crossing him again, Rachel-for even thinking she could get back with him, Ewan-for stalling time by sitting in the hotel with Nicole and he hate to think this but Natalie, because instead of running, should have ran up and broken the kiss up. These nightmares, he was having felt like they were going to come true and also he couldn’t help but feel like Ewan was right and he had too much anger. He was about to turn the next corner when he heard a familiar voice, “Hayden! What are you thinking of doing?” he asked, “Going to find Jude unlike you” he snapped, “How? In case you were wondering, Nicole might know where he is” he went on, “Well, let’s get to it” he cheered up and followed them into a nearby parked taxi.

Rachel had been peering over her magazine while sitting on a nearby bench, watching Hayden and Ewan with their new friend, “So you’ve hired more help, Hayden, sneaky little boy, no doubt, you will fail” she muttered, watching the cab driving down the opposite end of the street. She pulled out her phone, “Jude, it seems that our friends have hired some help in their rescue” she informed him, “Who is it then?” she heard him snap, “I couldn’t see from my distance, but she had long, blond hair, wearing a knee length skirt and white blouse” she replied, “She’s a she? Well, then this is interesting” he smirked, as Rachel sighed, “What now?” she asked, “Make your way back here if you see them along the way, follow them” he instructed her as she understood and hanged up, hailing a nearby taxi and getting inside.

“So Nicole thinks she knows where they are?” Hayden asked, “How did she work it out?” he added as Nicole smiled, “Well, if he had a hotel room, it would be too small to conduct his business. He needed a bigger place and I suppose Ewan didn’t mention that I reside around here when I am not working so I know most of the area and where he might be” she explained to them as Hayden glared at Ewan, who laughed, “What!?! I forgot about that part” he spoke out as Nicole just laughed, “Oh Ewan, still the same as I remember you” she told him, as he smiled while Hayden just rolled his eyes and sat back in the taxi, wishing that the taxi could hurry up more before it really was too late.

Mischa was watching Jude pace up and down the room, “I don’t understand. I just don’t understand” he was muttering, “I prepared a room beautifully for her, I made sure she wore a beautiful dress, I threw the ring away so we could move on together. WHAT MORE DOES SHE WANT!” he shouted as Mischa sighed, “Let her go. You have two years of wonderful memories but something happen and she changed” she replied, as he moaned, “I don’t want to let her go. I love her” he argued, as Mischa slowly walked over to him, placing a hand on his arm, “Sometimes love doesn’t turn out the way we want it to and we need to let go” she explained to him, watching him remain silent, thinking she had convinced him but he sharply spun around, “No, I can’t let her go and you’ll see! I show you!” he yelled, “Leave me, I have important matters to attend to” he snapped as Mischa looked up at him, before running from the room.

Mischa ran to her quarters Jude had allowed her to have while they remained her, She thought that she had tricked him into letting her go but he was too stubborn. She remembered her own words about how love doesn’t turn out the way we want it to and we need to let go. She remembers these words because she had her own experiences that ended tragically.

The countryside of Italy provided the perfect backdrop for ancient times and the ancient buildings created a medieval period. Mischa stood in a beautiful white dress, her light sandy brown hair in long, curls past her shoulders. She looked over at Hayden, who was dressed in a dashing brown pants and jacket over his shirt, with his long, silver sword hanging by his side, he saw her watching him and made his way over to her, “You look beautiful Mischa” he smiled as she blushed, “Awe, you’re sweet” she giggled, raising a small hand and running it through his hair, “Has anyone told you how handsome you look?” she asked, as he smirked, “Once or twice” he teased, pulling her in his grasp, sharing a sweet, romantic kiss, her arms moved around his neck and he slid his hands down her sides. It was a beautiful, loving moment, then he abruptly turned away, “What’s wrong?” she asked as he shook his head, “I can’t do this again” he softly replied as she took his hand into her’s, “Is it me?” she asked as he shook his head again, “No, of course not” he corrected her as she moved closer to him, “Well, how about we remain good friends” she told him as he smiled, “I like that” he replied, kissing her friendly on the cheek.

Friends, that’s what they remained, she never found out why he didn’t want to go any further, and then it hit her! It was shortly after Natalie and he supposedly broke up, so that’s why he didn’t want to go any further. He was afraid to have his heart broken again. She slowly moved over to her small makeshift dresser she had made for herself, tiding herself up, her thoughts dwelled on what could be happening, if Jude succeeds in winning back Natalie, Hayden will be heart broken again and he wasn’t the type of guy who deserved that much sadness. Mischa knew what she had to do even if it meant losing one friend in favour of another.

Hayden, Ewan and Nicole stood just outside the docks of Sydney, looking across the water at the houses on the hill, “How can Jude be over there?” Hayden asked, “It’s too luxurious” he added as Nicole smiled, “It is expensive living over there but Jude is over there, knowing that the scenery and location will provided the ultimate romantic ploy to win Natalie back” she informed him as Ewan folded his arms in front of him, “Okay, well let’s get over there and end this” he spoke up as Nicole cut in, “We need to enter secretive so he can’t plan anything before” as Hayden pointed out, “Well it better be quick. I can’t wait anymore. I want this over now!” he shouted, as Ewan jumped back, “You should lie down and while you’re having a rest, we’ll work something out” he informed him, Hayden wanted to argue but he was feeling too light headed to argue so he just nodded, “My place is nearby. We’ll stop there” Nicole told them, heading over to the waiting taxi, not before he could look back and whisper, “Hang on, Natalie. I’m coming”

Nicole opened the door to the neatly clean decorated dark house, “The bed rooms are just upstairs and on the right. Guest room is the fourth door down as Ewan whistled as he entered the entertainment room, “Wow, this is amazing” he commented as Nicole smiled, “Thanks very much. Help your selves” she told them, as Hayden moved up the stairs before Ewan pulled him back, “Try not to have any nightmares” he joked as Hayden laughed, “I’ll try” he replied, heading up the stairs.

Hayden did not want to sleep, but the longer he tried to stay awake, the more light headed he became, so he slipped under the warmth of the sheets, resting his head on the cool, crisp freshly washed pillows, then his eye lids became too heavy and closed.

He felt himself being shaken and slapped to wake up, “Lazy! Get up!” he heard, slowly opening his eyes to find the blinding white light of the sun shining in his eyes and Natalie looking down at him, she wore simple, blue hipster jeans and a cool, revealing singlet top, “Natalie? Is it really you?” he asked as she nodded, smiling, he pulled himself up and then pulled her onto him, “I thought I would never se you again” he told her as they kissed, before she pushed him away, “I have to get you out of here” she quickly informed him, as he quickly looked around and found himself outside a small city, “What’s going on? Where are we?” he asked, “In a small city not too far from where we landed but he is on his way and will kill you” she cried, “Who? If it is Jude, I will stay and fight” he argued, as she shook her head, “No, he will kill you in a flash” she protested, “Go, I will follow” she assured him, as he became to move off, he came back for one last innocence kiss, before a voice cut through, “How touching but I must intervene” they told them, “Natalie, letting you go was hard but I knew you would lead me to him” he went on, as Natalie clasped Hayden’s hands tight, “You promised that I could leave and return to the man I love” she replied as he shrugged his shoulders, “I lied” he smirked, “So now, I will kill him” he announced, as Natalie moved in front of him, “Then kill me too because I love him and I won’t live without him” she told him, as he smiled, “Okay” he laughed, as Hayden cut in, “You are willing to kill her knowing that you lose in the end. You are pathetic” Hayden laughed, holding his strong grip on Natalie as Natalie shut her eyes tight, “Pathetic. I am not pathetic, just doing what I must” he angrily replied hearing a fatal shot, opening her eyes, she saw Jude smiling, whipping around, she saw another guard holding a small gun, freshly used as Hayden stood there, loosing his grip on her slim waist, he whispered, “I’m sorry. I love you always” as Natalie screamed, holding him close but he felt himself fall, then black out.

Hayden’s eyes sprung open and he leapt off the bed, “This is getting too weird” he thought, he needed to stop them. They were un true but why were they haunting him? He moved over to the small bathroom, off the bedroom, when his phone rang, re-emerging from the bathroom, he answered it, “Yes” he answered, “Hayden, I am going to help you take back Natalie” the voice told them, “Who is this?” he asked, as he was unable to recognise the voice, they laughed, “An old friend” they replied, “I’ll call you in a few hours” they added, hanging up as Hayden stared down at the silent phone, Who was that? He wondered, but smiled, Maybe things are moving faster than he had hoped, heading out the room to inform Ewan and Nicole of his ‘strange’ phone call.

Is this getting interesting? What is going to happen? The next chapter will be thrilling-I hope! Will Mischa reveal herself to Hayden, will Jude strike up the ultimate plan to win back Natalie, will Rachel succeed in getting Hayden back, and will Ewan, Hayden & Nicole get to Natalie in time before it is too late? All to be revealed soon!]

Chapter 26

Note: This chapter has a surprise beginning that I thought was an interesting twist. If it is well received, then it might be a clue into how the story might turn out, hehehe. Comment if you think I should continue this little part as well as the main story.

The roaming hills of Europe were greener than they ever had been, the sky was a clear, bright, blue colour and the sun burned brightly. To anyone waking up, it was just a normal, avenge day but for a King, Queen, Princess, A young farmer, a knight, a knight’s finance and a farmer’s sister. This was the beginning of their nightmare.

“You are the most stupid King ever!” shouted Rachel, who had been trying to knock the King off his throne to be the ruling Queen over him, “I am no idiot! They have underestimated us!” Jude shouted back, “Yes, by letting them escape and not pursuing!” she informed him as he waved a finger in front of her, “Yes, but we are one step ahead of them” he informed her as she rolled her eyes, “How! You don’t know where they went because you had no one following them!” she reminded him as he waved his hand again, “By taking those dear from our two traitors” he smiled, clicking his fingers, his guards emerged into the throne room, pulling a young, slim, blond girl no less than early 20’s and a beautiful, stunning woman with shimmering red hair along as Rachel stared, “What the hell is going on!?!” she exclaimed as Jude looked over to her, before moving over to his prisoners, “This is our young farmer’s sister and our traitorous knight’s finance” he told them, reaching with a swift of his hand to touch them but they pulled back, “No I don’t because I never seen them. I was busiest trying to be a better ruler than you!” she exclaimed as he laughed, “Well, I am better than you, because I went one step further and kidnapped the love ones so they would have to return” he smirked as Rachel caught on, before grunting, “Oooh, I hate when you are right!” she argued.

The landscapes of Europe were whipping past them as they sped their way on horseback far away from the castle, stopping on a hilltop, turning to look back, the knight turned to look at his new friend and spoke, “Well, there’s no going back now unless you want to die” as his friend nodded, “I understand but there was nothing for me there. My family is this way” he indicated, smiling back at the glittering princess behind him, “I want to live my life out with her” he added as she smiled as the knight smiled, “Well, we should continue before the guards catch up” he told them, as they agreed and sped off.

Approaching the small village in the distance, they saw black smoke coming from the small houses, the young farmer’s eyes wide with horror and ordered his horse to go faster as his friend shouted, “Hayden! No! wait!” but had no choice than to follow him as he reached his house, helping the Princess off, he ran into his house, which was nothing more than black, charred remains, “This is Jude’s work. I know it. He wants me” Natalie cried as Ewan entered shortly after, “This is getting bad” as Hayden looked around, “They’re all gone” he cried as Natalie knelt beside him, “It’s a shock yes but maybe they got away” she suggested as Ewan shook his head, “It was probably a surprise attack” he corrected her as they heard a slight whimper and Hayden ran in the direction, coughing through the charred smoke that flew around, until he found the whimpering, “Ashley” he gasped, his littlest sister covered his black smoke, her dress torn and with spots of soot, “They’re gone, and they took Mischa” she softly cried, referring to their other sister as he lifted her up into his arms, holding her close as he stared at Natalie and Ewan, “We have to go back to rescue my sister” he stated as Ewan waved his arms in the air, “What!?! You are signing your execution if you go” he exclaimed as Natalie touched his arm, “if you go, they’ll kill you and I’ll have to marry Jude” she reminded him, giving him a soft kiss as Ashley was shaking her head, “No, I over heard talking about how the Queen wanted my brother for her” she informed them, holding on his shirt tightly as Hayden comforted her, “Look, I know this is crazy but I have to rescue her” as Ewan put in, “But that’s what he wanted you to do……to go back” he put in, “I am not shying away from this” he told him, “If they want a battle, they’re going to get one” he sternly told them, before asking him, “What are you looking for?” he asked as Ewan answered, “Remember when I came to get you so we could rescue Natalie, we left my fiancé Nicole here” as Hayden stared at him, “I don’t know. Maybe she’s escaped from the fires” he suggested as Ashley spoke again, “No, when they took Mischa, they took her too. Something about she was needed to” she told them, burying her hand in Hayden’s shirt, once again as Ewan stared at them, “I’m in” he simply told them as they moving back outside, un aware one lone scout was watching.

Rachel sat in her beautiful decorated room, “Stupid King” she muttered, “I am one step ahead of you” she mimicked adjusting her elaborate hair style, “Well I have my own plans and his’s precious princess and him are not involved” she laughed before she was interrupted by one of her guards, “Your highness, our scout reports that he found them in the farmer’s village and feels he is coming for his sister” he reported as she smiled, looking at her reflection in the mirror, “Excellent, order the guards to be well prepared. Do not approach them until ordered too” she replied, “King Jude may have his own plans but I have mine” she laughed.

Rachel layed on a cosy, comfortable deck chair by the pool of their ‘borrowed’ house, her elaborate little dream or fantasy making her smile. If only that could happen, but they were not among those times anymore, so they would have to make do with their ideas now, which Rachel was growing tired of. She wanted Hayden and she wanted him back now. She was still smiling while she thought about her little fantasy, when she disturbed, “Uh, Rachel?” they asked, raising her oversized sunglasses above her eyes, she saw Mischa staring down at her, “What is it now?” she snapped, “I’ve been thinking that this whole thing between Jude and Natalie and you and Hayden is pointless. Maybe you should consider forgetting about it and moving on” she suggested as Rachel just stared at her, “What!?!” she exclaimed, now standing, causing Mischa to jump back a little, “Why would you consider that? This will work and you’ll be the stupid one for doubting it” she snapped “No, leave me! I must be off!” she informed her, storming off in a huff as Mischa just sighed, “Well then I guess I will put a stop to all this my way” she thought.

“You received a strange, mysterious call and you’re thinking they’re helping us?” Ewan asked, looking confused, “Don’t you think that it’s weird that a mysterious person calls you. It could be Jude disguising his voice?” Nicole suggested as Hayden laughed, “Like he’s smart enough to do that” he told them as Ewan snorted, “I don’t know. He kidnapped Natalie under your very nose” he told him, before seeing Hayden glaring at him and he ducked behind Nicole, he stood up and moved over to Hayden, “Apart from Ewan’s comment, all we’re saying is to be cautious of who this person is” she told him, then noticing his tired expression, “Did you have enough sleep?” she added as he replied, “A little but I had another dream that woke me up” as she sighed, “You need to sleep or you won’t have enough strength” she commented just as his mobile went off in his hand, “I will but I need to handle this first” he told her, answering it and moving off. “Hello?” he answered as the voice smirked, “Still can’t recognise me huh?” they asked as he felt a lump in his throat, “No” he replied as they went on, “It will be revealed in time. We need to talk. Meet me in the hotel bar of your hotel tonight. Just you” they told him, “Alone. How do I know you’re not going to trick me?” he asked, before he heard laughing, “Because I’m the one that can help you save your finance” they told him as Hayden gasped, “How do you know about Natalie?” he asked, “like I said, all will be revealed in time. Tonight-hotel bar-alone” they reminded him, hanging up as he just stared at the phone, then back at Ewan and Nicole, “They want me to meet them tonight, in the hotel bar, alone” he told them after several minutes of quietness.

Once again Natalie found herself in the front room of the house, still dressed in her stunning red dress, looking around, she could not see her ring anywhere. “Jude’s probably already picked it up and threw it away for good” she thought, feeling a tear drop down her cheek. She didn’t want to be here, she wanted to escape and run back to Hayden but she had no idea where they were or how far they were from Sydney. Her mind was wandering back to Hayden, his long, wavy blond hair, bright, intense blue eyes, strong, hard muscled chest, making her dreamy for him, when a voice teared her away from these thoughts, “I prepared all this for you, I brought you an expensive red dress to where, your ring is gone forever. I tried to tell you how he is playing you for leaving him alone on Cannes but no, you had to still that he would never do that to you” they whined from behind her, as she spoke, “Hayden was more a man than you were ever. I knew him longer, I had more fun with him and he made me feel safe” she firmly replied as he rolled his eyes, “No one can do that, because if he could, where is he now?” he teased, “He will be here” she replied, now standing and staring at him, her deep, brown eyes cutting straight through him, “And when he does get here, I will personally show you who I will leave this place with” she added, swiftly moving past to leave, when he grabbed her arm and pulled her in closer to him, “I was hoping I would get to do this again” he smirked, leaning in and sharing a passionate kiss which she could not stop.

Rachel was had ran all over the house, “Where was she?” she asked until she stormed into her room, and picking up a small note, which read, “Gone out for something to eat. Be back soon” as Rachel wondered out loud, “Why would she not invite at least me to join her?” Letting out a moan, “Just when I need her and she goes out, now I’ll have to wait longer to tell her my new plan” she thought, she did not want Jude to know because he was too busy with her and besides, it just did not concern him. Then she thought, she might go see what he was up, sneaking up to the front room, and peering in, she saw Jude, his hands on her waist, lips locked together, making Rachel only smirk more, “well now, I guess that things are certainly changing in the other direction now” she thought, slipping away, with a sly smirk across her face. Her plan had already started without even doing anything, she muttered to herself before looking back at the room, “I just love it when crap like that happens without doing anything”

Natalie finally managed to pull Jude away from her, “What are you doing?” she asked, as he smiled, “Doing what I should have done in the first place” he smiled, “That meant nothing to me. I may have not being able to stop it from happening but it was nothing. Hayden’s lips are more sweeter on mine” she replied, now she was the one smirking, seeing him go redder, “Oh that does it” he told her, grabbing her by the arm, pulling her into another dark, cold room, “Until you tell me that you love me. You are never leaving this room. Think about that” he told her, pushing her into the room, before laughing and slamming the door shut. She looked around the dark, cold room, obviously he had planned this in case this happened-there was a small, single bed, a small table and chair. Nothing too much except for one television-though Natalie knew that Mischa put that in so she wouldn’t get too bored. The window was only small but big enough for the light of the orange sun to shine through as it started to set, while she moved over to her small chair by the window.

“You can’t be serious!” Ewan exclaimed, “You’re going alone and you still don’t know who they are?” he asked as Hayden looked at them, “What’s the big deal. They said they can help me so I am going” he replied, “It’s just too weird” Nicole told him as Ewan waved a hand in front of him, “Exactly. I have a bad feeling about this” he added, smirking at what he just said, “Look, I will be on alert but I am going” he assured them as Nicole placed her hands on her slender hips, “Well, then we’re going with you” she announced as Hayden stepped back, “What!?!” he exclaimed, “Only because we don’t trust this plan and want to be safe. We won’t enter with you just a few steps behind you” she informed him, throwing on her long, white coat, “Now let’s get going so we can get this over with” she told them, as Ewan noted, “I feel like an idiot” as Hayden sniggered “Why?” he asked, “because I blew my chance with her” he replied as Hayden shook his head, “You’re dreaming” he muttered under his breath as Ewan looked confused but followed him out.

Night fall had crept over the city of Sydney like a dark blanket of blackness. Lights popped on throughout the streets and car lights dazzled the streets, one lone cab drove amongst the bustling traffic with three silent figures inside, eager to arrive at their destination so they could end this once and for all. Once the taxi came to a stop, they emerged, looking at one another, “Remember, be careful and we’ll be right near the exit and will intervene if necessary” Nicole told him as Ewan slapped him friendly on the back, “Good luck. You’ll need it” he told him, watching him enter the hotel before following him.

Hayden entered the bar, trying to search out anyone mysterious and found one at the bar. Dressed in a long, dark purple coat, dark purple shoes and hair tidied in a tight bun, they sat at the bar, reading a magazine with a drink in hand, Hayden had a slight feeling as to who it could be and strolled over, “So what’s this news you know?” he asked, as they slowly turned to address him, their eyes locking onto his’s, and a smile grinned across his face, “I thought I might see you again” he told the figure, “What’s the information you have, Mischa?” he added as she smiled, slightly touching his arm, “I know the very location of where they are, what’s going to happen and what we can do” she replied, “Sit down and join me and I’ll tell you everything you need to know” she smiled as he returned the smiled, sitting on the empty bar seat, next to her.

[Who was surprised about this chapter? Was the beginning surprising? Or was it the ending? Does Mischa have plan already to go? What is Rachel’s plan which started with the surprise kiss? Will Natalie say she loves Jude in order to escape or can Mischa led Hayden, Ewan and Nicole to Natalie, Jude and Rachel before it’s too late? Stay tuned! It’s all about getting even now!]

[sexystarwarslover]

Chapter 27

Note: Like the last chapter I will have a continuation of my little medieval story with our heroes but may put it towards the end for a change]

Hayden smiled at Mischa, who certainly had changed since the last time they had spent any quality time together, but he didn’t let the looks trick him, he was here because she told him she would help him rescue Natalie, “Let’s get down to business, Mischa. Tell me where Jude has taken Natalie and tell me NOW!” he shouted, causing several patrons to look over at them but Mischa just smiled, “You really do love her don’t you?” she asked as he looked down, “More than any other girl I’ve ever loved” he softly replied as Mischa rubbed his arm, “Then this is why I am helping you. Who cares if Rachel is upset or angry with me, she has gone too far” she explained as Hayden looked up, “That’s how I feel. She kissed me and she was so forceful I couldn’t stop it” he argued as she jumped back, ‘Okay, I understand that you are angry but don’t you dare get angry with me again or I swear I will” she waved a finger in front of him, as he waved his hands in front of her, “Okay, I’ll control myself” he smirked as Mischa calm down, “That’s better. Now I will inform you of what I know and what we will be doing” she told him, taking another sip of her cool, refreshing beverage.

Natalie felt like she was going to crack, being in the small, cold room. She didn’t know how long she could last like this; she knew Hayden was coming to rescue her which she was holding on to. She was suddenly lost in thinking about Hayden when the old, creaky door smashed open and a young, dark figure moved into the room, although Natalie knew who it was, “Rachel, I have nothing to say to you” she snapped as Rachel shook her head, “Oh that’s not nice. Is it because I kissed him, just thought I mention that he enjoyed it” she smirked as Natalie shook her head, “No, you’re just telling me this so that I’ll give up and go back to Jude” she replied, seeing Rachel smile, “Is it working yet?” she asked as Natalie shook her head, “No!” she exclaimed, as Rachel shrugged, “Maybe not yet, but soon you will go crawling back to Jude” she assured as Natalie got up from her bed, shoving her hard, “Stop teasing me! Hayden and I will leave this house together and we are going to get married” she announced as Rachel shoved her back, “No one shoves me unless they want a fight” she snapped back as Natalie just shoved her towards the door, slamming it shut right in front of her face! “Don’t come back to talk to me ever!” she yelled through the door.

Ewan had been looking over at Hayden at the bar with this mysterious person, to find that he was looking quite calm about this person, “I don’t like this, it’s too weird” Ewan whispered to Nicole as she glanced over, “I don’t like it neither but if it was a trap we would have seen it by now” she replied as Ewan sighed, “I guess you’re right. I just hate being left in the dark” he told her, looking back over at the back at the bar where Hayden sat exchanging words with the mysterious caller.

“Are you sure there is no other way to doing this?” Hayden asked, “Like punching Jude out and running the hell in there?” he suggested, laughing to himself at this comment as Mischa only just smiled, “Sweetie, if only it was that easy but Jude probably knows of he gives the key to where Natalie is, to Rachel, it will be more harder for you to get it” she informed him as he sighed, “And while I am doing this, what will be happening?” he asked as she giggled, “That’s where your friend come in” she replied, seeing him go blank, “What friends? I came alone like you ask” he quickly assured her as she laughed, “Hayden, I am not stupid. A mysterious caller calls and wants to meet you alone. I would ask my friends to come” she smiled, looking over his shoulder to where Ewan and Nicole sat, waving slightly.

“Damn, they’ve seen us, now what?” Ewan asked as Nicole giggled, “I guess we go over, now that they know we’re here” she suggested, getting up slowly as he looked up at her, “No, wait, wait” he quickly begged but had no choice but to follow. “I knew Hayden would have his friends keep a close eye on him” she told them once they had stood in front of them, “Just a precaution” Ewan pointed out as she waved a hand, “Whatever, the important thing is that you are here to help with the plan. Come, I’ll inform you alone the way” she answered moving off before they all looked at each other, then hurried after her.

Jude paced before Rachel, “You went to see Natalie behind my back!” he exclaimed, as Rachel just shrugged, “Only to push her back to you” she innocently replied, as he waved his hands in the air, “She is my business, Hayden is yours” he reminded her, now on her feet, she shouted, “Don’t forget that we are in this together and need to work on both of them for our plans to succeed” she informed him as he raised a finger then stopped and growled, “Ooooh, I so hate it when you are right!” he announced as she smirked, “I know that and right now, you should be in there with her, and not leaving until you make her love you again before he finds us” she explained to him as he nodded, “You’re right. I am” he declared, storming off to the room, not before he stopped and turned back, “Rachel, I want you to have the key to the room. In case of any surprise visitors, you’ll block their access” he informed her.

Standing just outside the car, he wore a cool, loose casual black suit and he looked utter, adorable in his suit as Mischa gushed, “You look so remarkably handsome” as Nicole agreed, “I think you look cuter then Ewan was in Moulin Rouge” she laughed as Ewan spoke up, “Hey! That was uncalled for” he called out as she moved over, lightly kissing him on the cheek, “I was only joking” she smirked as he smiled back, looking over at Hayden, “Knock her over buddy” he told him, making him slightly smile. He couldn’t believe that he was about to do this but it was only to win Natalie back as Mischa tidied him up more, “Remember, you need to seduce Rachel, until she’s at the point of revealing anything you want, then you ask for the key” she reminded him as he nodded, “You better be right about this” he told her as she smiled, “They are here, trust me” she assured him as he moved up the gray stoned pavement of the huge white house, the only light was coming from the two front rooms. Ewan, Nicole and Mischa crouched behind some nearby bushes, curious to see if phase one of the plan would work as Hayden rang the door bell.

“Mischa, you better have a very, very, very good reason for being this late” Rachel grumbled, throwing a light dressing grown over her outfit as she made her way through the long, lightly dim hallway. Turning the locks around, “Why did Jude have to have so many locks, I’ll never know” she thought and opened the door to see someone who wasn’t Mischa at all so her words were naturally, “Well, you’re certainly not Mischa” she told them as he smiled, “Last time I checked I wasn’t” as she laughed, “Oh, you’ve gotten witty” she snarled, “How did you find me and what do you want?” she asked as he replied, “I was strolling past the waterfront houses of Sydney and remembered how you always wanted a house on the water so I knew you would have to be here because according to the taxi driver, this was your house” he lied, but she just smiled, “Well, smart are we? Come on in, we’re going to have some fun” she told him, not seeing him nervously smiled, “Can’t wait” he told her, following her through the hallway as the door closed behind him, not before, Ewan, Nicole and Mischa slipped through the door into the front living room, “Phase one is one, now is the trick part-Nicole and I will go down and find the room where Natalie is and Ewan has the fun task of watching over Hayden and Rachel and being there when he completes his task” she laughed as Ewan snorted, “Oh, that sounds real fun” as the girls moved off as Ewan headed quietly in the direction Hayden and Rachel went.

“Jude, stay away from me!” Natalie yelled, as she stood on the other side of the bed, “You know you can’t resist my charms” he smirked, reaching over the bed, he lifted her into his arms, “I love you and I will always be here for you” he assured, not loosing his grip on her slim figure, “You look absolutely beautiful in that stunning red dress” he told her as she held her distance from him as best she could, “Don’t try to sway me back. I know what you’ve done. You kidnapped me twice-first to Paris and secondly-to this place. You threatened to kill Hayden and don’t think I don’t know that it was you who told Rachel to kiss Hayden, knowing it would make me run” she informed him as he smiled, “Little girl has gotten smarter since I last saw you” as she turned her head away, she would not even look at him but he lifted her head back to his gaze with a finger, “But not smart enough” he added, holding his gasp tightly on her, he brought her in for another sweet, passionate, lingering kiss she was powerless to stop.

Rachel laid across the lounge, smiling to herself, well, at least my little fantasy might half come true she thought as Hayden looked over at her, “You know you want to and Natalie will never know so let’s get to it” she added as Hayden cinched but knew he had to do, ripping off his silky, loose shirt revealing his strong, muscular chest, “Oh my, you’ve been working out my baby” she commented as he smiled, “Only for the best girl I know” he forced himself to say, kicking off his shoes, letting them slide across the room then moved over to Rachel, “You-have-always-been-the-girl-for-me-I-was-teasing-you” he told her, kissing her in between as she moaned slightly, “I knew you would which is what I told Jude” she smiled returning his kisses, placing her hands on his soft, strong face, “How I missed those angelic lips and bright blue eyes” she told him.

Ewan peered around the corner, he saw gowns on the floor, his shirt and shoes now discarded on the floor, he rolled his eyes, “Why didn’t I get the easier job?” he muttered to himself, as he stayed low on the other side, hoping that he didn’t take long for Hayden to get what he needed so they could get out.

Now for a little bonus-a continuation of my little side story from the beginning of the last chapter:

Across the slimming, grassy green plains of Europe, two horses rode as fast as they could, back towards the towering castle, Natalie clinging onto Hayden’s waist as his younger sister Ashley sat up in front of her brother and Ewan, their new friend, rode not too far in front of them. They had to go back to the castle because Hayden’s sister and Ewan’s fiancé had been captured during the surprise attack on Hayden’s village and Hayden wasn’t one to turn away from a fight.

The horses came to a sudden stop a few short miles away from the castle, “What are we stopping for?” Hayden asked, looking over at Ewan, “We’re going to have to be quiet and go around the long way” he pointed out as Hayden exclaimed, “What! Why!” “Because, we will be caught going in the front way” he replied, as Hayden rolled his eyes, “Fair enough, so let’s get moving” he told him, beckoning for his horse to move around the side, sliding off the horse, he picked up Ashley, cradling her close, “Ashley, I want you to stay here with this pretty lady” he told her smiling up as Natalie, “But I don’t want to. I want to be with you” she cried as he went on, “It’s too dangerous for you so I need you to stay safe here. I won’t be long” he promised, placing her in Natalie’s arms, passionately kissing her as Ashley looked up and Ewan spoke up, “We should get this over with” he told him as Hayden agreed, “I won’t be long” he told them.

“Your highness, they’ve been tracked back here. They are supposedly trying to enter undetected. Should we catch up on them?” he asked as Rachel smiled, “No, I will give the order. Let them at least feel some pride when they enter and not a word to the king. He will ruin my plans” she informed the guards before he followed the retreating Queen, her long, flowing, deep red robe flowing behind her out towards the balcony where she looked down and smile, “If they think they are leaving here in one piece, think again” she muttered, watching the small figures run in between buildings making their way towards the entrance.

Hayden and Ewan had successfully made their way up the long, gravel pathway to the castle, “Tight security, you thought” Hayden muttered, as Ewan looked over at him, “I know I said that and it looks like I am wrong, but something is not right and you’ll see” he answered him as Hayden pushed him alone, “let’s get a move on” he just told him, sneaking through an abandoned window post to the side, where they found themselves in what look like a trophy room filled with sparkling gems and shiny treasure, Hayden could not believe this as Ewan pulled him through, “How could you not know a place like this is here?” he asked, “You just don’t because stealing gets you killed” he answered, emerging into the hallway, the soft, plush carpet running under their shoes, “Which way” he asked, as Ewan looked up one way, “This way” he replied, turning the corner, he wished they hadn’t because guards emerged from behind and grabbed them and a cheerful voice filled the air, “So you think you could just crawl back through here without saying hello?” they asked, emerging into the light, was the face of the poisonous Queen, “Good work boys. You may take this traitorous knight to the dungeons but bring this handsome young peasant to my royal chambers and hold him there until I get back. The rest of you! Search the grounds for anyone else they brought with them!” she announced as Hayden’s eyes went wide with horror, his thoughts were of Natalie and Ashley, “No!” he gasped, making the Queen stop, slowly turning her head, “Well, now, there are more here! Find them!” she declared once more as Hayden was dragged to her chambers, Ewan to the dungeons, and the rest running outside the castle, keen to follow orders.

Ashley was becoming concern for her brother and she noticed that her brother’s ‘new’ friend Natalie, he had called her before, was becoming worried herself, “Do you love my brother?” she asked as Natalie blinked in wonderment at this child, “I want to but it’s just so hard to fall in love and live with him” she smiled as Ashley took her hand in hers, “I know he loves you and I can’t wait for another sister to enter the family” she smiled as Natalie smile down at the little girl, before quickly looking around, something was not right, scooping up the little girl in her arms, she ran as best she could in her dress but it wasn’t fast enough. Thick hands grabbed her waist as others grabbed a frightened Ashley from her arms, “Looks like her highness was right and will she be surprised when she finds out who it is” one laughed, tying Natalie’s hands together, before pulling her along, all Natalie could see was Ashley terrified face staring back at her then how Hayden would be so disappointed to find out she let him down. She felt the tears fall down her cheeks when they pulled her into the royal throne room, which was empty but she knew that Jude nor Rachel wasn’t too far away, “Get use to your new home, princess!” they laughed, as Ashley looked up into her captor’s eyes, “When my brother finds me, you’ll be in more trouble” she proudly told them as they looked at each other and laughed, “Little girl has high hopes, that’s funny. I hate to tell you this but your brother has more problems to deal with, he won’t care about you” they replied, seeing her begin to cry, making them laugh more, “Let’s take them up to see her highness” one told the others.

[How was the story? Both of them! Hehehe! Will Hayden be successful in seducing Rachel in order to free Natalie or will they be discovered before they can escape quietly? Can Mischa succeed in making her plan work and trick Jude and Rachel reuniting Hayden and Natalie together? All to be revealed!]

Chapter 28



Mischa and Nicole slowly edged their way through the house, they could still hear the laughing soft moans coming from the living room as Nicole had to snigger, “Poor Ewan, he is probably hating his little job right now” she whispered as Mischa just sighed, “Someone has to do it and I didn’t think that you would want to do it” she replied, peeking around the corner to scout out the rest of the long, dimly lit hallway, “Oh this is not how it was suppose to be” she muttered as Nicole stared blankly at her, “What are you talking about?” she asked, “That’s where Natalie is, but I have this strange feeling she is not alone” she answered her, as Nicole’s hands flew to her mouth, as before a loud scream and bang caused them to nearly jump out of their skins.

Natalie shoved Jude with all her strength against the other side of the wall, “Why did you do that?” she asked angrily, over the unsuspecting kiss they just shared as he only smiled, “Something I should have done in the first place, so let the love come flowing back” he smiled, inching back to where she stood, “Get away from me!” she cried, now standing on top of the small, single sized bed, “Now, now, sweetie, let’s not get like this. You know deep down you want to come back to me” he smiled as she backed further into the wall, “Not any more. I fell in love with Hayden again” she simply informed him, seeing him angrily twitch, “No you are not! It is only a rebound! You love me!” he shouted as she cried, “No, I don’t. Not anymore” she confessed, seeing him go redder than the stunning, red dress she was wearing.

Rachel wrapped her arms around Hayden’s neck, “Oh, this is what I want. My baby back in my arms” she whispered as he kissed her softly, knowing that time was not on his side, “Rachel now that we are back together, let me ask you something” he started to speak, as she ran her hands through his soft, wavy blond hair, “Anything, darling” she whispered back, “Do you know where key is to the back rooms are?” he asked as she held his face back so she could smile into his beautiful blue eyes, “Something back there you have for me?” she asked seductively as he nodded, so she reached slowly into her black, tight jeans and pulled out a small, silver key on a chain, “Here it is” she told him as his eyes widen in shock, he was so close now. What could he say to get her to hand it over?

Ewan had had enough, peering over the large, round table in the dining room next to the living room, he knew he had to sped things up, anxiously looking around, he spied a small, brown bottle he immediately recognised as Chloform, why they had a bottle of Chloform around, he didn’t know but he suddenly had a clever idea. Grabbing the chloform from the table, he pulled a small, white cloth a few metres away, dabbing it in the bottle and crawled over to where Hayden and Rachel were, he could hear them indistinctively arguing over something but time was going by and this needed to be done. Slowly rising to his knees, he threw the cloth over Rachel’s mouth as Hayden leapt back, watching her slowly fall unconscious, then Ewan rising to his feet, a slight smile on his cheeky face.

“You continue to amaze me” Hayden laughed as Ewan waved his hand in the air, “One of the best” he answered him as Hayden looked down at the still, soft figure of Rachel, bending down, he yanked the key from her hand, “Let’s go find Mischa and Nicole, get Natalie and get the hell of out here” Hayden informed him as Ewan slapped him proudly across the back, “There’s that adventurous side of the friend I know” he smiled, picking up a sprint down the hallway.

Natalie had had enough, Jude kept moving forward, frighting her more, “Jude, stay away!” she cried as he edged forward, so she leapt off the bed, kicking him right in his boys, crying out in pain, she twisted his arm around his back, “I’m sorry it came to this”, pushing him down onto the ground, she ran for the door, throwing it open, fortunately for her, Jude had left the door unlocked when he entered the room, hearing it slam against the grey black wall, she fled the room straight down the dimly lit hallway, past a bewildered Mischa and Nicole, who were obvious unaware of what had just happened.

“Well, I think we’ve sorted out this problem” Nicole smiled, as Mischa just stared back at her, “What do you mean?” she asked as Nicole laughed, “Did you not see what just happened?” she asked, “We need to follow her so we can get out of here” she added as Mischa caught on, “I know what you meant but what if Hayden is not finished with Rachel, Natalie runs in there, sees it and we’re back to where we started” she explained to her as Nicole gasped, “You’re right. We have to chase after her before she gets to the living room!” she exclaimed, emerging from the corner, sprinting after Natalie as Mischa looked in the direction where she had come from, hearing low grunts, before muttering, “Or before Jude regains himself and catches up to her”

The hallway seem to stretch on forever, which seemed odd because from the outside, the house seemed smaller, clearly this wasn’t the case on the inside as Hayden and Ewan were finding out, “We aren’t even close to the end yet!” Ewan exclaimed, as they turned another corner as Hayden didn’t even stop, only yelling over his shoulder, “I know it’s long but we can’t give up!” when he came to a grinding halt, seeing another figure running in his direction, trying to make out who it was [the lack of lights on, really made him concentrate], he broke out in a laugh, as he had recognised who it was-with shimmering, glossy brown hair and a stunning fierily red outfit, it made him pick up his sprint even more-at long last, he had found her once again.

Natalie, stopped in her tracks as she saw another figure running towards her and her heart lifted: “You can run into my arms, it’s okay don’t be alarmed, come into me” as she held out her skinny, long arms as he ran closer, lifting her into the air, spinning her around, hearing her soft laughter for the first time in a few days, closing in for a romantic kiss on her angelic lips, whispering the words, “I’ve missed you Natalie” he told her as she smiled, “I thought I would never see you again” she cried with happiness.

[Ha! How much of a tease am I! You’ll have to wait till the next chapter but right, I’ll continue my little side story]

The guards unceremoniously shoved Ewan into a smaller, dark cell which stank off death, although he kind of didn’t expect any special treatment after what he had done, wondering if his new friend Hayden was alright and if they had found Natalie or Ashley. He moved around the cell, not much to do, when a voice, no less than a whisper startled him, “Ewan! Is that you?” they asked as he moved closer to the bars of the next cell, “Who’s there?” he asked them as a tall, gorgeous red hair woman emerged into the light, “Nicole, my darling” he replied, “I’m sorry I brought you into this” he went on as she reached the black bars to touch his soft, sad face, “I know, but I am so glad to see you again” she whispered, wanting to kiss him when another voice broke the tender moment, “Where’s my brother?” they asked, looking to the right of Nicole, was a young blond slim girl, her white long dress in ruins, “Mischa, he is here because we were coming back for you, except well, Queen Rachel sent him to her quarters” he explained as both girls gasped, making Ewan stare blankly at them, “What have I missed?” he asked as Nicole held his hand, “You don’t know the half of it” Nicole answered him, before beginning to fill him in on what they had over heard.

Guards were blocking his way out, not that it didn’t matter, he was held down to the bed any way, that didn’t matter also, the only thing that did was if Natalie and Ashley had gotten away safety-he already had one sister captured, he didn’t want another nor did he want Natalie back in that cruel King’s arms. He was shaken from his thoughts when the huge, jewelled doors flung open and in stepped the Queen, though Hayden knew she wasn’t yet, “So you thought you could just sneak in here and rescue your little peasant friends” she laughed, moving over to her wardrobe, “Then why didn’t you just throw me into a cell with them?” he asked angrily as she spun around, edging her way over to him, “Because if Jude found out you were here, he would kill you straight away but I am willing to save your life if you listen to me” she smiled as he pulled back, “I am not letting Natalie go or be apart of anything you want” he snapped back as she held his pretty little face in her hand, “Not even to save the ones you love” she informed him, clicking her fingers, she turned his head as the doors opened once more, spilling more figures into the white, bright light.

The thick, tanned ropes were beginning to dig into her wrists as she was pulled further into the room, and the knife near her back wasn’t too comforting either, nor seeing Ashley’s terrified face staring at her, making her feel any better. She finally saw where she was, Rachel staring at her square in her eyes as Ashley began to squirm in the guard’s strong grip on her, she decided to take action, twisting his fingers real hard, he yelped in pain, as she dropped to the ground, running towards to where her brother sat, although Rachel was too quick, grabbing the child by her dress, into her arms, “So like your brother and sister, you little brat!” she shouted as Ashley squirmed once more, “Let her go!” Hayden shouted, “No, I don’t think I will” she smirked, moving away from him over to Natalie, “Why the King wants you, I’ll never know, because as long as you are here, I can’t be Queen” she spoke as Ashley cried out, “If you don’t want her, then let he go along with my brother” as Rachel laughed, “I would but I meant as long as she is alive, I can’t rule” as all three gasped, “Don’t you touch them!” Hayden angrily shouted, “No, because I want you to help me or I kill the princess, this little brat here and the blond girl right in front of your very eyes” she informed him.

Ewan could not believe what Nicole had just told him, “She could really do that, without authority of the King!” he exclaimed, “I’m afraid so, or so we heard. If Hayden doesn’t do what she asks of him, she will kill the princess and his sisters” she answered him, “Where does that leave us?” he asked, “I don’t know” she shook her head as he angrily kicked the bars of his cells, a loud ping echoing the dark, half empty dungeons, “This is just great: we only wanted to be happy and now our lives are on the line, all because, she wants to be Queen over the King” Ewan shouted, reaching back through the bars, assuring his beautiful fiancé, “Don’t I will find a way out of her for us, stopping this plan before it’s too late” gently stroking her soft, tearful face with his strong, hand.

[Another tease huh? Two in the one chapter! Lol. What will happen now? Will Jude and Rachel stop Hayden and Natalie from leaving the house before it’s too late and can Ewan, Nicole and Mischa divert their attention, allowing Hayden and Natalie to escape, you’ll have to wait to find out! Plus, will Hayden agree to the Queen’s plan to save the love of his life and his two sisters? Stay tuned!]

Chapter 29

Hayden and Natalie clinged to each other tightly, Natalie felt like it had been eternity since she last saw Hayden, feeling his heart beating in his strong chest, his sweet, soft lips pressed lightly across her’s, “Oh Hayden, I knew you would come for me” she whispered softly into his ear as he smiled, “I could never let you go, you are the one true love in my life” he replied, as she held him tight, “Oh Hayden” she whispered while from both ends of the long, dimly lit hallway, Ewan, Nicole and Mischa stared in pure happiness, “Well, Mischa looks like you were wrong. I guess Ewan and Hayden finished up and were coming to meet us” Nicole smirked as Mischa rolled her eyes, “Okay, I guess I was wrong but we should keep moving” she replied, unfortunately Natalie and Hayden were thinking one step further, “We have to get out of here, Jude is probably searching for me now” she put in as Hayden held her close, “I agree, I never want to lose you again” he smiled as Ewan laughed, “It’s so nice to see my two friends back together” he told them as they smiled cheerfully over at him before running right down the hallway, the loud shouts coming from the other end, coming closer and closer but they were faster and had burst out the huge, white front door, into Nicole’s black parked car, speeding away down the long, grey road.

Rachel’s small, brown eyes snapped open, finding herself on her back, on the long, white leather lounge, Hayden was no where in site, although his shoes still lie across the other side of the room, then she realised that something more important was missing-the key. Jude gave her that key in trust and she lost it! Leaping up from the lounge, she sprinted throughout the house, until she found Jude, slowly moving towards her, her hands flew to her hips, “What the hell happened to you!?!” she exclaimed, as Jude mumbled, “She is one tough girl” as Rachel stared blankly at him, “I went to see Natalie, to win her back, but no, she wouldn’t have it and kicked me-you know where, then when I looked up, she was gone” he went on as Rachel breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn’t my fault because she escaped on her own, “So where have you been?” he asked, eying her suspiciously, “Nothing, just had a friend stop by” she laughed nervously, “Really? More friends?” he groaned, “Who were they?” he asked as Rachel waved her hands in front of her, “Oh no, you don’t want to know” she answered quickly, as she saw the small, red fires in his eyes, “He was here!?!” he exclaimed, as Rachel smiled, shifting from one foot to the other, “Yes” she mumbled in a low voice as Jude tried to stand, still in pain, “This is the last straw. This time, drastic measures will be taken!” he declared.

Natalie snuggled close to Hayden, as they layed together, on the soft, satin pillows in their quarters at Nicole’s house, his shirt was still unbuttoned from their escape and her long, shimmering red dress hugged her figure, she felt his fingers slide through her gentle small fingers, “So, he tried to charm back over to him, then he threw the ring I gave you across the room?” he asked as Natalie finished, telling him her terrifying ordeal with Jude, “I kept telling him I was over him but he wouldn’t have it. Kept telling that you and I were just a rebound romance” she added as Hayden laughed, “He really said that? What a loser” he replied as Natalie laughed, “I didn’t believe any words he told me” she smiled before he then pulled her soft body on top of him, running his hands down her waist, as they shared a beautiful, passionate kiss.

“Let me get this straight? You want to plan a surprise wedding for Hayden and Natalie, without them knowing?” Ewan asked again, he was sitting out on the back porch with Nicole and Mischa, who had just told him this sweet, plan they had for showing Jude and Rachel they had moved on, “We know it’s crazy but Mischa said, that the three of us could totally handle it. She knows Hayden’s clothes measurements because of their movie they did also while she was with Rachel and Jude, she had to pick dresses for Natalie” Nicole explained, as Ewan looked out over the fading sun disappearing behind the tall buildings of Sydney, “As long as you’re sure, because how will you get them dressed?” he asked, “Well, we’ll prepare Natalie and you take Hayden out for some fun, then met up at the church one hour before we are arriving” Mischa spoke up, as Ewan rubbed his hands together, “I can do that. When’s this all happening?” he asked, seeing Nicole and Mischa exchanged smirks with each other, “Uh, we were thinking tonight, around 10 or 11” they answered as Ewan jumped to his feet, “what! We don’t have a lot of time left!” he shouted, as Nicole rose to her feet, placing a hand over his mouth, “Not so loud. We knows this, so we need to go upstairs, make up something to them, then you take Hayden along with this bag and go have some guy fun” she informed him before dragging him by the arm back into the house, followed by Mischa.

Their lips locked together, they did not hear the door knocks until voices filled the air, “Told you they were busy!” the first exclaimed, as Natalie and Hayden’s eyes flew over to the three figures standing near the open bedroom door, “Can we help you?” Hayden asked as Mischa cleared her throat, “We know you both wanted to have a night for yourself but Ewan wanted to a guy night’s and we had something planned for us girls, if you don’t mind” she replied as Natalie looked at Hayden, “I’m sure for one night, seeing how you guys planned all this” she told them as Nicole pushed Ewan forward, “Right, so then, grab some shoes and let’s get going!” he exclaimed, pulling Hayden to his feet, not before, Hayden shared another sweet kiss with his beloved sweetheart, unaware that in a few hours, they would become a loving husband and wife.

Mischa watched Ewan and Hayden disappear from sight, before turning back to Nicole and Natalie, “Okay, time for our fun. Nicole, you’ll do Natalie’s make up, and I will do her hair” she instructed, pulling Natalie into the soft, plush chair in front of the vanity, “Do you mind telling what’s going on?” Natalie asked, “It’s a surprise” Mischa giggled, as she played around with Natalie’s long, luscious, thick brown hair while Nicole shined up her pretty face while Natalie just stared intently into the mirror, wondering what could they have planned but mostly what Hayden was up-it had only been a few minutes, but she was missing him already-his blond wavy locks of hair, baby blue eyes, strong arms wrapped around her and his sweet, tender lips against her own.

The bright lights and loud music echoing through the city streets of Sydney, made you feel like being at one wild party, of course Ewan, being who he is, wanted to stretch his boundaries more, seeing how his’s best friend was getting married in a few hours, there’s one place you always go, for those last hours of single life. Seeing the reaction on Hayden’s face, Ewan knew he was stretching it. “Why can’t we just go to nightclubs?” he asked as Ewan laughed, “Nightclubs are fun but how often can you have fun at places like these?” he asked as Hayden stared at him, “What’s going on?” he asked, “Nothing, just guy’s night out. Let’s take it further” he smirked, pushing him further into the club, lined with plush, thick red carpet, blue, green, yellow lights flying round the room, music blasting, “let’s get some drinks and then move on for some entertainment, alright” he smirked, as Hayden only, he had the feeling that he would be the one carrying Ewan out of the club tonight, but he decided to let that thought and enjoy his time with his best friend.

“He was here! He was here! He was HERE!” Jude exclaimed, as Rachel stood on the opposite side of the kitchen table, Jude having just found who else was in the house, explaining what happened after Natalie ran from the room and who she was with, “Look, I did not call him here. I thought it was Mischa and seeing him there brought back a lot of memories. I missed him and I was just glad to see him again” she spoke up as Jude rolled his eyes, “Oh, wake up! He was here to bring Natalie back to him, using you, because I can clearly see no key” he pointed out, “But he didn’t use it because she ran out herself” she reminded him, “Into his arms!” he exclaimed, as Rachel flicked her shiny, long, brown hair back, “So now what?” she asked, “We don’t even know where they could be” she added as Jude laughed, “Oh, I know, Hayden may not have planned it but his friends may have” he replied, reaching across the table, he whispered into her ear-the new plan.

Natalie stared at herself in the mirror, yellow and cream flowers had been cleverly twisted into her luscious brown curls, followed by flows of glitter on her brown curls, her make up made her look truly ravishing and her stunning, knee length, glittering white dress was a perfect fit for her as Nicole and Mischa kept gushing, “Oh, you are so beautiful” Mischa cried as Natalie smiled, “Okay, what’s really going on?” she asked, “Still not time” Nicole cried, wiping the happy tears away from her eyes, “Come on, just tell me. Where are we going?” she asked, “No, we can’t but it is going to be magical” Mischa assured her, adjusting the ends of her dress, before Nicole pulled out a large, bright blue shoe box, “There’s more accessory” she told her, opening up the lid, Natalie gasped, inside were a beautiful, cream coloured strapped pair of high heels, “Oh my goodness, those are so gorgeous” she told her as Nicole lifted them out for her to slip into, as she tried to held her tears back, “Now I know something big is happening” she added, “You’ll see. You ready?” Mischa asked as Natalie smiled, “Ready” she whispered as Nicole covered her eyes with a blindfold, “Still a surprise” she told her, before Mischa and Nicole, dressed in stunning light lilac knee length, glittering bridesmaids dresses. It was finally going to happened. This time-no Jude or Rachel to interrupt.

The next part of my little story within a story-hope you all enjoy it!

“You can’t do that! I will not let you harm them!” Hayden shouted at Rachel, who only laughed, “And how can you do that, if you are tied down?” she asked casually, seeing him unable to reply, “If you don’t do what I ask, I will and to prove I am not buffing” she told him, reaching for her secret hidden weapon, she held her strong grip on Ashley, who was squirming to get away, Rachel just grabbed the girl’s arm and slit a small but painful cut across her arm, hearing her whimper, Hayden struggled against his ropes while Natalie pulled against her ropes, she couldn’t stand it anymore, seeing Ashley whimpering, Rachel just kept laughing, “I can do all day” she teased but Hayden screamed, “ALRIGHT!” creating a hush over the quarters, “Yes?” Rachel asked sweetly as if nothing had happened, “I’ll do it. I’ll find a way for you to become Queen” he answered slowly as Rachel slowly moved over and raised his chin with two fingers, “There, now was that so hard?” she asked, no reply, so she clicked her fingers and his ropes were cut as Ashley was roughly handed into his arms, “Oh Ashley, are you alright?” he asked, but she was just shaking and clinging to his shirt, “Let Natalie go too” he ordered as Rachel shook her head, “Why?” she asked as Hayden paused, What could he say?, then it hit him, “Because I need her with me to complete the plan” he answered as Natalie gasped, “No!” she exclaimed, as Rachel looked from him to her before understanding, “Ah, I see, okay, but no tricks or they die” she reminded him as Hayden then remembered, “I need to see my other sister” he told her as she waved her hand to her guards, “Of course” she smiled, watching them leave. Once out of earshot, she snapped, “Guards, I want you two, to follow and keep an eye on him, if he tries one wrong move, shoot the girls” she hissed.

Ewan, busily trying to scrap through the locks of his iron door to his prison, did not hear the doors down the other end sharply opening until he saw shadows of three figures, “I wasn’t escaping. I wasn’t escaping!” he shouted, jumping back further into his small cell, only to see the face of his friend Hayden eying him suspiciously, “Oh it’s you. Maybe announce yourself or something?” he asked as Hayden laughed, “Wanted to see if you were up to anything strange and clearly you were” he replied as Mischa saw them and ran to the front of her iron, black bars, “Hayden, you did come. What happened?” she asked, hands flying to her mouth, when she saw Ashley’s arm, wrapped one of his’s sleeves, he ripped from his shirt, “What happened?” she asked, “Rachel wanted to show she wasn’t buffing so she took out some pain on Ashley” he replied as Mischa tried to reach through the gaps in the bars to touch her sister and brother, as he felt her soft, cold, pale hand touch his, he felt the tears swell up in his eyes, “No, that’s it!” he exclaimed, “What are you talking about?” Natalie asked, “I know I said I would help her but I can’t. She won’t release us, we need to get out now” he told them as Nicole and Ewan moved forward to where he stood, “What did you have in mind?” Ewan asked, “First I am going to get you guys out of here because it’s going to take all of us to get out of us to succeed and get out of the castle alive” he informed them

The King was furious! “No one could bother to tell me we had prisoners to interrogate?” he asked as the guards looked blankly at him, “Her highness orders us not to distract you” the first replied as Jude stormed over to him, “Her highness? I am King here, she is not Queen! You come to me! Now anyone of these prisoners, my beautiful Princess?” he asked, as the guards looked around, “We couldn’t tell. Their identities were covered by hoods” they lied as Jude stormed angrily up and down the room, “Find out who they are and bring all the prisoners to me, including our knight’s fiancé and our young farmer’s sister” he informed, laughing, “We’ll show her highness, who is in charge here” he declared.

Chapter 30

[Before we start, just so we can get an idea on the wedding-think of your favourite movie, television or celebrity wedding you’ve seen, for example: Monica and Chandler’s on Friends or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s wedding and you get the idea of how beautiful it is, but because of the time frame in the story, it’s less expensive but more romantic, so enjoy! Another point, I’m even thinking of adding more characters, they may not be related to our main characters but are willing to help out]

Nightfall had rapidly approached, the small, white stars twinkled above the tall, sky rise buildings of Sydney as the sound of loud, fast paced music and the impatient horns of drivers filled the road as Nicole impatiently tapped the edge of her steering wheel as Mischa excitedly giggled, smelling her beautiful bouquet of attractive flowers looking over at stunning, Natalie, the red blindfold tightly tied around her eyes, she had no idea that she was going to a wedding and that the wedding was her’s, Mischa only feared that something or someone would crash the wedding.

The lights swirled around the club as loud groups of cheers roared with excitement, Hayden observed noticing Ewan was contributing twice as much noise but it only made him laugh more as he took another swindle of his drink, leaning in closer to his friend, he had to ask again, “Okay, you have to tell what is going on” he yelled over the music as Ewan just shook his head, “No, I can’t, but you will know soon enough” he assured him, gulping down another drink, he glanced down at his watch, it was approaching 9.30, the time where the girls instructed them to be ready so they can dash from the club, Ewan quickly leaped to his feet, nearly falling over, “We have to go get change, then we can come back for more fun” he yelled, pulling Hayden out of his cushy chair and into the bathroom, re-emerging in stunning, black and white tuxedos, the only thing that wasn’t stunning was the tripping over nearly drunk status that they were in.

“Forget it, Jude, Sydney is one big city, we’ll never find them” Rachel complained, after nearly 2 hours of mindless wandering through the city with no luck of finding them, they now resided in a local, loud, noisy bar, gulping down drinks like they were water, “I don’t care, I am going to steal her back, even if I have to search all night!” he declared, whacking the empty glass down on the brown, bar as Rachel rolled her eyes, behind her drink, “Oh please. You couldn’t win her back when you had her, what are the chances she’ll run back to you when you do find her” she snorted in her drink as Jude smashed his glass across the floor, “Watch your attitude or you can find him on your own. I have a plan” he told her, nearly stumbling back as Rachel just laughed, “Again” she muttered under her breath.

Amidst the noise and music, two people were not that far to over hear the loud, yelling coming from the bar, “Sounds like romantic troubles” the first person spoke as their friend agreed, “I would have to agree and a nasty one at that” they added as the first looked over at their friend, “Do you think we should warn their friends?” they asked as the second laughed, “We don’t even know who they are or unless you recognised those two?” they asked as the first nodded, “I overheard a name and if my calculations are right, I know who to look for” they smirked, as their friend laughed, “if you want to get involved, fine with me but I don’t want to cause more trouble in their problems” they pointed out, “Just a warning” they assured them.

Mischa angrily paced up and down the white carpeted, candle lit church, it was now 9.55 and Ewan and Hayden had still not shown up and were not answering either of their phones, “Where are they?” she muttered under her teeth, she had told him to be here by 11 or 10, at the earliest, in case they had a chance to rehearsal where everyone would be, but no sign of them as Nicole stepped out into the aisle way, a wash of relief over her face, “She may be blindfolded but she can ask questions” she told Mischa as she laughed, “She’s just curious, but don’t tell her anything” she assured her as Nicole waved a hand around, “Of course, master” she giggled before asking, “Any sign of Ewan or Hayden?” as Mischa stomped her foot hard on the soft carpet, “No and I am getting really impatient” she informed her as Nicole bit her top lip softly, “I’m sure they will come, let’s hope. I’ll go back and keep Natalie company and you perhaps talk to the priest or someone” she explained before they both darted off in separate areas.

As he glanced down at his watch, he panicked, it was 10.20, they were already 20 minutes past the expected time, although, he was nearly so drunk, he had forgotten why they had to meet them as he helped his blindfolded friend out of the taxi, careful not to trip over his feet, he found his way into the long, wide white carpeted church, holding onto his blindfolded friend for balance, “We’re nearly there” he told him, watching where he stepped as Hayden only smiled, “Come on, first the club, now this, what else have you got planned?” he asked as Ewan made a gesture, that told him he couldn’t say anything, “I can’t say that” he whispered, before Hayden and Ewan, both let out a wave of laughter before finally made his way down the end of the aisle way, where an unexpected slap slapped him back into reality, “Where have you been!?! You were suppose to be here 25 minutes ago” she whispered, he could detect the anger in her voice as he reached out to touch her soft face, “Sweetie, it’s nothing. Just lost track of time” he smirked as she waved her hand in disgust in front of him, “You’re drunk” she informed him as he only laughed as Hayden, standing in the spot Ewan put him in, tried to contain his laughter but couldn’t until Mischa angrily slapped them both, “Stop it! It’s about to start!” she snapped, storming off in a huff down the aisle as Hayden, blindly turned to his friend and whispered. “What’s about to start?” he asked his drunken friend, who looked blankly at his blinded friend, “I can’t remember” he confessed

Mischa was so furious that she angrily had slammed the large, wooden door to the well lit preparation room, causing Nicole to nearly jump out of her skin and sharply spin around, from tiding up Natalie’s hair, who like Hayden, still had her blindfold tightly held around her eyes, “What’s wrong?” she asked as Mischa let out an angry, frustrated sigh, “Ewan and Hayden have arrived but I’m not sure about Hayden, but Ewan is nearly totally wasted” she informed her as Nicole shrieked, hands flying to her mouth, “Oh no” she gasped as Mischa waved her hands in the air, “I know and we’re ready to start according to the priest” she admitted as Nicole sighed, “Well, then, I guess, we’ll just have to go on with the show and hope for the best” she explained, as she grabbed her small red, white, yellow and pink bouquet in her small hands, before moving over to help Natalie out of the room as Mischa giggled, “Natalie, you are going to love us” she assured her as she smiled, “I think I will” she replied, before a low, soft musical tune filled the halls as Nicole gently untied the blindfold off her eyes as they made their way into the church, with the candles burning brightly and the music growing louder, Natalie finally entered the aisles, her bright, brown eyes lit up with joy-those girls, she though. They had planned a wedding for them as her smile and eyes widen more, as she focused at the end, where her handsome, hunky, leading man was waiting for her.

With the blindfold removed from his eyes, Hayden could finally see where he was and it was the perfect place to be, not to mention the beautiful angel gilding down the white carpeted aisle, making him smile even more. When she was at last, standing right in front of him, her bouquet handed over to Mischa, she clasped his hands tightly, “Did you know about this?” she whispered as he smiled more at her innocence, “No, I am just as surprised as you” he assured her as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a kiss until a voice broke the moment, “I haven’t reached that part yet” he told them as everyone just laughed as Hayden and Natalie, blushed as they held each other’s hands before he started, “Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here, to join Hayden and Natalie in the bonds of holy matrimony” he welcomed them as the couple only smiled lovingly at each other, “May the happiness they share with one another here today be with them always” he continued.

Running down the dark streets, Rachel glanced at her watch, 10.55pm, it read, she was almost out of breath but Jude insisted that they keep going, searching every church and hall they came across. It was unusual to for any church to open at this time of night but never the less, Jude was determined to search them all even ignoring Rachel’s constant complaints of just giving up and going home but Jude knew he was close. He could feel it.

Not trying to lose pursuit of their targets, the two friends kept a distance of Jude and Rachel, “Why would be looking in churches?” the second friend asked, “I don’t know. I don’t know anyone who gets married at this hour” they replied, weaving in and out of buildings and alleyways to avoid being caught.

“The time is now where the bride and groom share their vows with one another” the priest announced as Nicole and Mischa froze, they had completely forgotten about this part but Ewan, still drunk but listening, spoke up, “Just speak from your heart” he told them as Natalie smiled, deciding to go first, “Hayden, when I first met you, I knew we would become great friends but to become lovers was just a bonus” she started, “You make me laugh, safe, happy and bring new life into my life that wasn’t there” she tried to hold back her tears, “You have always been the guy for me. I never saw that until I saw you back in Rome, then Paris and now Sydney. I never want to lose you. I want to hold you in my arms for now on, hearing your voice every day” she finished as he held a hand about to her face, “Natalie, it has always been you. Of all the girls I have been with, no one had made me laugh and playful than you and I never want to lose you again” he smiled as she smiled through her tears, as the rings was passed to each of them, “Place these rings on each other’s fingers which mean the love and happiness that you receive from each other” as they each gently sipped the golden and to their surprise, engraved rings on their fingers before he went on, “if they are anyone who feels that this couple should not be joined here tonight, please speak now or forever hold their peace” as Nicole and Mischa quickly looked around, no slamming of doors or yelling, yet, “Then, by the powers vested in me, I now pronounces you husband and wife” he declared as Hayden pulled Natalie in closer, with his strong hands on her lips, they shared a passionate first kiss together, “You may now.. go on kissing the bride” he sighed as Nicole, Mischa and Ewan cheered and clapped as Hayden and Natalie shared a never ending kiss that was worth waiting for.

Climbing the grey concrete steps of the last church in the area, the music playing was not comforting as he ran on ahead, pushing the huge doors open silently and just leaned against the door frame, watching the young, handsome, blond haired man kiss his girl, he was too late. The ceremony was over but he still had to do something.

As their kiss lingered on their lips, a familiar although now, dark, creepy voice filled the air, “Oh, that is just so touching, makes me feel like in one of these soap opera weddings” he laughed as Nicole, Mischa, Ewan, who almost stumbled off his feet, Natalie and Hayden, who held his strong, firm hands even more tightly on his new wife’s small, waist whirled their heads around, their eyes nearly popping out from their sockets at the appearance of the dark, dirty, sweaty figure, leaning against the wooden door frame.

[How’s that for a chapter: what a tease am I? But right now, here’s more of my little adventurous story]

Hayden looked up and down the long, dark, smelly dungeon hallway, no one coming, hopefully not for awhile, placing Ashley on a nearby, wooden seat and moving back next to Natalie, he sighed, “Any idea on how to open these?” he asked as she laughed, “Well, I suppose that all dungeon doors are the same and having seen family members thrown into them all the time, I have discovered a few things myself” she informed him as he looked at her, “Like what?” he asked, intrigued, “Well, for one, there is always one bar that is faulty and..” she started, plucking a hair pin out of her neatly tightened plait, “The lock can be picked by something tiny like a pin” she finished, crouching down, she started working on the lock as Ewan noted, “You’re not just a pretty little, high rich Princess, aren’t you?” he asked as she smiled, “When your family is living in troubled times, you tend to learn a few survival techniques” she replied as Hayden crouched down next to her, giving her a slight kiss, “Which is why I am in love with you” he told her as she smiled as Mischa impatiently tapped her foot, “Could we move it along. I would like to get out of her quickly” she noted, “You can’t rush this or otherwise it won’t work” Natalie explained to her and sure enough after a series of jigging in the lock, they all heard a click, “See, there we go” she smiled as Hayden lifted her up and spun her around, “You are incredible” he told her as the door pushed opened and Mischa ran out followed by Nicole, who followed Natalie to the next door where an impatient Ewan was waiting,

“Oh Hayden, it was horrible. They just grabbed me. I barely had time to hide Ashley” Mischa cried into his shirt as he held her close, “it’s okay. I’m here, I promise” as Ashley tugged softly at her white dress, “Me too. I did what you asked” she softly spoke up as Mischa bent down and scooped her into her arms, “Yes, you did” she cried, rubbing her hand along Ashley’s bandage arm as Hayden held his sisters close, “I’m sorry for what happened Ashley and I will nothing else happened. I promise” he assured them as another click opened as Nicole threw her arms around Ewan, “Oh, I thought I would never do that again” she cried as Hayden moved over to Natalie, “You are amazing” he gushed as he pulled her in, leaned back and shared a sweet, kiss before they all crept from the hall.

The guards were too fearful of returning empty handed to the King or Queen, with any news but knew that they would find out anyway so carefully pushing opening the large, wooden doors to the quarters, they found the King donning his royal red and blue robes, “Ah, have you brought our prisoners here for me to question?” he asked as the guards nervously shifted on their feet, “Uh, well, here’s the hard part, when we got to the dungeons, they were not there and no one else has seen them” the first spoke, wishing he hadn’t as the King threw his long, pointy royal staff straight through the glass round table, “This is unbelievable! She was here and now they’re gone!” he shouted before snapping, “Why are you still here? Go, search the castle and surrounding area. Do not rest until they are caught” he ordered the guards who dashed from the quarters as Rachel popped around the corner, “What’s wrong? Trouble being a King?” she asked, “Not for long” she thought as he pointed a long, shaky finger at her, “You! You kept them from me!” he snapped, “What are you talking about?” she asked, “Oh please. You capture the most important prisoners then allow them to escape” he replied, as her eyes went as wide as ever, “What? They what!?!” she screamed, “Oooh, he infuriates me so much. That sneaky little peasant!” she screamed.

Having made it as far as the stables, they heard the loud screaming and yells coming back from the castle, “That can’t be good” Ewan told the group as Hayden agreed, “Probably knows we’re gone and the order is not done” he added, as they unhooked three, lovely, fastest, light tanned brown horses and jumping on a horse, Nicole holding onto Ewan, Natalie with Hayden and Ashley riding in front of Mischa, “Remember, keep riding straight. Do not stop until Ewan and I say it’s safe” he told Mischa who nodded, her light, sandy brown hair flicked back behind her ears as voices appeared on the other side of the locked doors.

“They went in here. So they are now surrounded” the leader of the guards informed his troupe who withdrew their swords, “They won’t know what hit them” another grunted as all roared with agreement as the leader reinforced the orders, “Remember, we have no use now for the finance, sisters, just the knight, peasant and princess” he reminded them, moving to unhinged the huge bolts on the doors before they were flung back and three horses rode off into the distance, “Too quick for you!” Hayden yelled before they each took off, “Quick, after them!” the leader snapped.

The castle seemed so far away now as Natalie slowly turned her head back around, that was her old future, to marry a King she was forced to be with, knowing the sneaky highness was plotting to kill her but she held tightly onto her new future as tightly as she could. They had escaped the castle, without carrying out any threats. She did not know if she could trust Hayden’s plan but went along with it and it got them clean and free. Hopefully the guards were giving up and had lost them as she saw Ashley look over and smile at her as the horses continued at fast speed across the European grassy, wavy, green hills

[How was that for a chapter? A bonus length it was! With the wedding, the surprise at the end and the two new characters sneaking their way in: Who are they? I will give two hints: they’re making their way in the news recently and in an article, a while back, one said they wouldn’t mind a date with one of our main characters: got you thinking: you’ll find out soon enough!
