A dream

~All a dream~

As Mulan sat on the floor, trying to process what had just happened, she heard the sound of footsteps echoing through the library. She looked up to see Nunew walking back towards her, a small smile playing on his lips.

"You know, Mulan," he said, his voice low and husky. "I think I'll keep you as my personal pet. You're quite... entertaining."

Mulan's eyes widened in horror as Nunew reached down and pulled her to her feet. She tried to struggle, but he was too strong.

"Don't worry, kitten," he whispered in her ear. "I'll take good care of you. And maybe, just maybe, you'll learn to love your new life as my pet."

And with that, Nunew swept Mulan up in his arms and carried her out of the library, leaving her to wonder what lay in store for her.

Meanwhile, Bella and Steve were still trying to make sense of the mysterious phone call. They knew they had to be careful, but they had no idea what they were up against.

As they sat in their living room, trying to come up with a plan, they heard a knock at the door. It was Luca, the same man who had been in the library earlier.

"I need to talk to you," he said, his eyes serious. "About Nunew. And Mulan."

Bella and Steve exchanged a nervous glance. What did Luca know about the prince and the young woman? And how did it all fit into the mysterious phone call they had received?

"Come in," Steve said finally, opening the door wider.

And with that, Luca stepped inside, his eyes locked on Bella and Steve. "Nunew is not what he seems," he said, his voice low and urgent. "And Mulan is in grave danger."

Bella and Steve exchanged a worried glance. What did Luca mean? And how could they help Mulan?

Luca took a deep breath before continuing. "Nunew is a powerful sorcerer who has been using his magic to manipulate and control others. He has a special interest in Mulan, and I fear he intends to use her for his own gain."

Bella's eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean? What could he possibly want from her?"

Luca's expression was grim. "Mulan has a rare gift, one that could make her a powerful sorceress in her own right. Nunew wants to exploit that gift, to use her as a tool to further his own power."

Steve's face darkened with anger. "We can't let that happen. We have to help her."

Luca nodded. "I agree. But we need to be careful. Nunew is dangerous, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants."

The three of them sat in silence for a moment, thinking about their next move. Then, Steve spoke up.

"Okay, let's come up with a plan. We need to get Mulan out of there before it's too late."

Bella nodded, determination in her eyes. "I'm in. Let's do it."

Luca smiled, a hint of relief in his eyes. "I knew I could count on you. Together, we can save Mulan and put an end to Nunew's evil plans once and for all."

And with that, the three of them set to work, devising a plan to rescue Mulan and bring Nunew to justice. But little did they know, Nunew was already one step ahead, and Mulan was in more danger than they could have ever imagined.

As they planned, Nunew was in his chambers, gazing at Mulan with a calculating gaze. He had her trapped, and she had no idea what he had in store for her.

"You see, Mulan," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "You have a special gift. One that I intend to harness for myself."

Mulan's eyes flashed with defiance. "You'll never get away with this, Nunew. I won't let you use me for your evil plans."

Nunew chuckled. "Oh, but I already have. You see, I've been searching for someone like you for a long time. Someone with your... unique abilities."

Mulan's heart raced as Nunew's eyes seemed to bore into her soul. She knew she had to think fast, or risk falling into his trap.

Meanwhile, Bella, Steve, and Luca were making their way to the castle, determined to rescue Mulan. But as they approached, they could feel a strange energy emanating from within.

"What's going on?" Bella asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Luca's eyes narrowed. "Nunew is using dark magic. We need to be careful."

Steve's face is set in determination. "Let's do this. We have to save Mulan."

And with that, they crept into the castle, ready to face whatever lay ahead. But Nunew was waiting for them, his eyes gleaming with malevolence.

"Welcome, my friends," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I've been expecting you. You see, I have a little surprise waiting for you..."

And with that, he snapped his fingers, and the room was filled with a blinding light. When the light faded, Bella, Steve, and Luca found themselves trapped in a dark, damp dungeon. And Mulan was nowhere to be seen.

"Nunew, you coward!" Steve shouted, pounding on the door. "Let us out of here!"

But Nunew just laughed, his voice echoing through the dungeon. "You'll never leave this place alive," he taunted. "And Mulan... well, she's already mine."

Bella's eyes flashed with anger. "We'll never give up," she vowed. "We'll find a way out of here and stop you, Nunew."

Luca nodded in agreement. "We need to work together if we want to escape."

As they began to search for a way out, Mulan was being held captive in Nunew's chambers. She was trapped in a cage, her wrists and ankles bound by chains.

Nunew sneered at her. "You're no use to me alive," he spat. "But your magic... that's a different story."

Mulan's eyes blazed with defiance. "You'll never take my magic," she snarled. "I'll die before I let you have it."

Nunew just laughed. "We'll see about that," he said, his eyes gleaming with malevolence. And with that, he began to chant in a language Mulan didn't understand.

As he spoke, a dark energy began to build around him. Mulan's heart raced with fear. She knew she had to think fast, or risk losing her magic - and her life - forever.

Meanwhile, Bella, Steve, and Luca were frantically searching for a way out of the dungeon. They had to escape, and fast, if they wanted to save Mulan from Nunew's clutches.

But as they searched, they stumbled upon a dark secret. A secret that would change everything.
