Holly laid on the bed feeing terrified. His determined lustful stare, as he gripped her throat, made every hair on her body stand on end. What was he exactly going to do to her?

"Pl-please, you don't have to do this." She begged as she could feel the tears that she was beginning to shed. "I'll be good, I-I promise!"

"Yes, you will." He whispered seductively, as he began to breath heavily. "You're so pretty when you cry."

He then slowly released her throat, as he gently stroked her cheeks with his fingertips. As he continued to stare into her eyes, he began suck the tears off of his finger tips.

"Please don't hurt me." She begged.

"Shh.." he whispered. "No, no, no, I have no intention of hurting you. I just want a taste of your lips." With that he grabbed her wrists, and forced them over her head. He then smashed his lips into hers, as he did, she tried her best to to move her face away from him. But it was little to no avail.

"Stop!" She cried. "I don't want this!"

"You will want what I tell you to want!" He growled. He released her wrists, as his ravenous kisses started to make their way down her body. Horrified she cried out in terror!

"Please don't do this! Stop! Please!"

"Get off of her!" She heard Alicia cry! As Holly looked up, she saw Alicia all of a sudden standing over him with a sword. With angry determination in Alicia's eyes, she brought the blade down upon him. However, as soon as she did, the blade shattered into pieces. It had absolutely no effect on him.

Even though it didn't really hurt him, he growled in anger in his obvious annoyance. Quickly he stood up, and grabbed Alicia's wrist. As he did, Alicia cried out in pain.

"You stupid bitch!" He cried. He then screamed in anger as he threw her down on the ground. To Holly's horror, Alicia head made a loud cracking sound as it hit a rock when she fell.

"ALICIA!" Holly cried out. She then leaped off the bed, and ran to her unconscious stepmother. She got down on her knees to see if she was alright.

"Please!" She cried, as she gently placed her hands of Alicia face. "Please you have to be okay! Please mother! Please be okay!" With angry tears she stared up at Kree. He had a shocked look in his eyes, as both of his hands were covering his nose and his mouth.

"Why?" She cried. "Look what you've done to her!"

"It-it was an accident!" He replied as he still had a shocked look upon his face. "I never meant to-I just lost my temper!"

"Alicia!" Holly cried. "Mother!"

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Exclaimed Algar, as he just walked in on them. He had the Cacaelian trident firmly griped in his hand, as there was burning rage and hatred in his eyes.

"I-I'm sorry!" Cried Kree. "It was an accident. She-she attacked me. I pushed her off of me, but I misjudged my own strength. I did't think—"

"NO BROTHER!" Growled Algar. "YOU NEVER THINK!" Out of pure anger, he gripped his hand around Kree's throat as he showed him no mercy.

"Now why would she attack you Kree?" He asked. "Was it because you were hurting someone that she cares about? Someone who you were not supposed to touch without my presence? This is exactly why you weren't supposed to touch either one of them without my supervision. I warned you, brother!"

"Please!" Kree pleaded as he started gasping for air.

"You always were pathetic, and a burden to me!" Algar exclaimed. "Everything is now mine!" He the released Kree's throat, and was about to spear him with the trident. However, Kree was able to wrap one of his tentacles around Algar's wrist. This gave him the opportunity to also grab the trident. Now both brother had the ancient weapon in a tug of war.

Then all of a sudden, Algar was able to get the upper hand. He was stronger, and able to over power his brother. With one quick movement, he skewered Kree right in the abdomen. Kree had a shocked look upon his face, as he slowly began to die.

Holly screamed out in horror, after watching Algar kill his brother. As much as she hated Kree, it was still a horrible thing to witness. Holly had gotten Algar's attention, as he made his way over to her. He then gently placed his hand on Alicia's face, and began to cry.

"I"m sorry!" He cried. "I promised I wouldn't ever let him hurt you again. I failed you, and now you're gone."

"No!" Cried Holly as she could feel a faint heartbeat, as she checked for Alicia's pulse. "I refuse to believe that!

"I'm so sorry, but it's too late for her. There's nothing we can do." He cried as he gently placed his hands on Holly's face. "But it's okay, because you are mine now. You are mine, and mine alone. I'm going to protect you, and make you my queen. And I will help you forget all about the Atlantean, and we'll both help one another forget about Alicia. But you're safe, because Kree is—"

"Traitorous bastard!" Kree cried as he struck Algar in the back with the trident. Holly screamed as it happened, and Algar cried out in pain. A weakened Kree just stood there, looking at them, before finally just dropping to the ground, dead.

With a pained look on his face, Algar struggled to pull the protruding trident out of his back. He groaned in pain as he ripped it out of him. It didn't kill him, but he was losing a lot of blood. He was weakened, but still very much alive.

"ALGAR! KREE!" An angry voice exclaimed. "I've come for my mate!"

"Damor!" Holly cried out. She didn't know where he was, but she knew he was close to them.

"Dammit!" Exclaimed Algar. "How the fuck could he possibly know?"

"Damor, help me!" Holly cried.

"No!" Exclaimed Algar. "You are mine! You're coming with me!" He then grabbed the trident, and used it as support to help himself to stand on his tentacles.

"I"m not going anywhere with you!" Cried Holly. "Go to hell!"

"Not a bad idea!' He replied in an eerily calm tone. He then closed his eyes.

"Come my pet." He commanded. Holly was confused, was he talking to her?

All of a sudden a giant tentacle crashed through the cavern wall. Holly screamed as it gently wrapped around her. A second one entered the cave, as Algar allowed it wrap around his body. Holly could feel a force field surround the both of them, as well as the creature. Algar had used his trident to bond his and the creatures life force around them, just as Damor had used his trident earlier.

"Where are you taking me?" Cried Holly.

"Well I do believe that you were the one who suggested hell." Calmly replied. "But actually we are going to the hell's equivalent in Greek mythology. You know, Tartarus?"

"But I'm not dead!" Holly cried out in fear, as she began to tremble.

"Don't worry." He replied. "I'll protect you. Kree mortality wounded me. I'm slowly dying. If I weren't immortal, I'd be dead by now. But the mortal wounds that I inflicted upon him was far worse than what he inflicted on me. However as a mystical half sea creature, the underworld will act as sort of a limbo. It will not only prevent me from dying, but I will be able heal there. When I do, we shall return to our ocean kingdom."

"Please don't do this!" She cried "Please let me go! I'll die down there! I'll be tortured for all eternity!"

"Not as long as you're under my protection." He told her. "Perhaps when you realize how much I will be willing to protect you, you'll learn to appreciate me more."

"You're insane!" Cried Holly.

"We'll see." Algar replied coldly. He then turned his attention to the Kraken.

"Let's go my pet!" He cried. ""Take us to the under sea entrance to the underworld!"

With that the Kraken dove into the ocean, with the both of them in it's grip.

"Damor! Help me!" Holly cried right before the hit the water.

As Alicia laid on the floor, of what was left of the cave, she slowing began to gain some consciousness.

"H-holly" she said as she was barely able to say the girl's name. "N-n-no."

She slowly opened her eyes, as a shadowy figure loomed over her. To her dismay she looked up, only to see another sea demon staring back at her. He seemed to be studying her face intensely. As he continued to look at her, he soon began to speak.

"Alicia, I presume."
