NO, NO, NO! They weren't supposed to get away! My plan is already messing up and maybe coming to a depressing end. I didn't intend for any of this to happen. I'm not even sure how it happened and I would be lying if I said I knew what my intentions were.
I felt overcome with rage and anger, but it didn't feel like it was mine. I was hurt, obviously; who wouldn't be. I'm distraught. Whatever I created, sent Mayas and the others somewhere. They're not dead; I think.

Ugh, what am I saying? I think? That sounded like I'm a psychopath. All I know is that they're alive and I need Ira. He can help me. I can care less about Y/n and Regina. They always stood in the middle of what me and Ira had. So, if they believe that the others are 'gone', I can use that to my advantage! And once they're gone, I can tell Ira that, in reality, they're alive and we can live happily ever after.
But sadly, there won't be a happily ever after, if I'm stood here doing nothing. Y/n and Ira could be getting closer and closer to each other.

Meanwhile with Maya and the others, I could hear them coming to the conclusion of what happened. They couldn't know yet. If they come back and ruin my plan, I'll never get to tell Ira how I truly feel and Y/n and Regina will just defeat me again! I know Regina has been begging to see me defeated and powerless again. She hates me.

To solve my minor issue, I shut the lights off where everyone was. I don't know where they are exactly, but I had a power over it. I'm not sure how if that either.

Now; to Ira or to Maya?

*************
I've made my very rough decision. I will be sacrificing my poor Ira and go see what the others are doing. If I can distract them from what's going on, my plan isn't completely ruined. Using my newfound power, I teleported to the location of the others. It was dark and dusty causing me to cough. I could instinctively feel eyes on me.

"Who's there?" I assumed was Johnny's voice. I said nothing. I started to walk slowly over to my peers, and could feel them 'preparing for battle'. Honestly, pathetic.

I continued to walk around, trying to gain any of my senses. Everything seemed off here. I couldn't put my finger on it. I felt powerful, but had nothing was exactly working. I tried to summon light into my hand but nothing came out. Strange.

"AHHHH!" Everyone screamed at once, all of them jumping on me.

"AHH!" I screamed back. The 'room' went quiet. I think they realised it was me and must've been in shock.

"Rachel?" The voice of Maya asked. I mumbled a 'yes', waiting for a response.

"RACHEL!" Everyone screamed once again. Some were confused screams, some were happy screams and the rest were just plain anger. I bet you can guess who's who. I'll give you a hint, the only happy voice was Maya's.

"Yes its me. I'm here to see what's going on." I simply stated, and quite calmly. Suddenly, some light appeared. It was very dim but enough that everyone could see each other. Everyone noticed my appearance and once again, looked disappointed.

"See what's going on? See what's going on! You're crazy! You tried to kill us! WHY?" Mackenzie yelled at me, rage evident in her eyes. Even if it was dark, they slightly glowed. Everyone's did; it freaked me out a bit. She tried to attack me but was held back by Bel, who held her tightly away from me.

"Rachel, we need an explanation. Whatever is going on, we must know. We can't have a repeat of last year." Marie said nervously. It seems like it took everything to say that.

"Look, I don't know what happened. I don't know.. maybe I thought I could trust you guys to help me." That was a lie. I would never come to them for help; well not since she came.

Some looks turned relived and others were shocked. I didn't think guilt-tripping them would work so easily.

"You want us to help? Well Rachel that's fantastic! But you could let us out of here first. Sunlight, or any light would be a big help." Clara said happily. Oh, I get it. They really think I want their help. Maybe I can use this to my advantage.

"I-I can't.." I stuttered out. "It's Y/n.. I know we've gone over this.. but its hard. I loved Ira so much and just saying his name is painful. Y/n's never liked me. I never knew why. But that was until she found out about me and Ira's 'past'. She realised that I could take away her childhood bestfriend and felt threatened. She tried to rub it in until I just couldn't take it anymore!" I ranted. Even though I couldn't see their facial expressions, I knew everyone was having second thoughts on Y/n and Ira's relationship.

"No. Of course not! I know my daughter and she would never go out of her way to make you, or anyone, for that matter, upset! How can you say these unkind words, when she's only been lovely to you?" Marie questioned me, clearly hurt. What did she know?

"You have no proof! No offence, princess, but you weren't around to notice her cruel behaviour behind the scenes!" I replied, rudely.

"W-well, Rachel may have a point.. We haven't known Y/n for that long..." Maya tried to say. Finally, someone was on my side!

"Well I have!" Bel, Marmo, Johnny and Marie all said at once.

"I don't think we should jump to conclusions." Natalie concluded. "No we haven't known Y/n for as much as we know each other, but we still know her! It's been years! You can't suddenly think that after her kindness that she's shown all of you, that you'll now turn on her."

I could tell that Natalie had the same energy that Regina had for me a few minutes ago. Everyone suddenly broke out in discussion on whether Y/n is trustworthy or not. I could see the conversation curving at me. They were becoming suspicious.

"Why don't we ask Rachel how she really feels?" Marmo said, slyly. I could see her bright, white teeth smirking evilly at me. I guess there's no point now. I tried. I should have gotten rid of Marmo when I had the chance. After all, she'd randomly ramble to herself in French; it was annoying. She would always go:

"Je ne regrette rien"

It's a French phrase that means, 'I regret nothing'. Sometimes, I didn't understand, because, I thought she regretted everything.

"Je ne regrette rien!" I yelled. It was silent and I could tell everyone was confused. Except, Marmo and Bel. Marmo's grin, thankfully, faded slowly. "It's French; it means that I regret nothing. Falling in love with Ira, hating Y/n and continuing to love Ira and have a strong distaste for their relationship. What are you going to do about it?"

What can they really do?
