( good news is that there will be more regular updates now over Christmas. Bad news is that Proemgranates plot is growing clister to the kingdom)
Pomegranat, licorice, dark choco,red velvet.
While the cookies of the kingdom have been resting after there last cake incounter, Pomegranat and the cookies of darkness have been drawing ever nearer to the kingdom....
" we've.... been walking for days!" Licorice puffed heavily, using his scythe to cut through the over grown brush.
Pomegranat was leading the way, red velvet by her side,
" Silence!" She hissed at him, not bothering to check if he was still keeping up. Ever since red velvet had given her the report in the sweet tower of caous she had but one goal in mind... REVENGE! She was tired of cookies getting in the way of her master's plan and she was going to see to it that no cookie was left standing!
Dark choc stayed behide the group. He had his own conflicts to worry about, and wanted nothing to do with Pomegranates scheme. If it was up to him he wouldn't be here at all... not following the path of darkness. But what chose did he have?
" now...." Pomegranate continued to scheme keeping her fast pace with red velvet. " when when arrive I want you to watch the back of the kingdom, you will take the cake monster's and be sure that none escapes" her tone was dark and cold, one that would send a shiver down you're spine....
Red velvet simply noded, " oh...." Pomegranate paused looking at red velvet with a devil's glare. " and take the Knight with you..." she smirked at her plan. She would use that pathetic knights strength to her own device's.
Most of the time was spent in silence... Pomegranat only saying the occasional order. None dared questioned her, she was vile and cruel...
So much so it got on dark choc's nerves on a regular basis. He was doing his best to keep his mouth shut for the time being. He mainly wolled in his own thoughts... his past haughted him.... if only... he would think to himself. Deep down he still felt as his he could be a good guy, but.... he had so many... so many regrets and mistakes... he knew that forgiveness would never be an option. Let alone a chance to walk in the light again.
He would often wonder though.... he let his eye's dift up to the clear sky. The sun was coming through the tree's but they we're so deep down in the forest that they we're blocked in by the shade of the leafs. What would it be like? His mind pondered...
( later....)
Night had now desened upon the group.... a fire cracked in the middle of them. In camp licorice was now asleep. Resting after a long day of carrying supplies, red velvet still sat awake. His back against a near tree, he was going to take the night shift, even though the cake monster's we're on their side there we're still many dangers that lurked in the wood's....
Dark chco couldn't sleep. He wasn't comfortable sleeping while Proemgranate had her eye's still open, he feared if he closed his eye's now she may literally might stab him the back. He simply gazed into the fire... the soft burn of the logs. The smoke rising, some cookies might find the warmth comforting but not him,..
The hours past... and finally the two we're asleep. At least, that's what red velvet thought.. he glazed over his shoulder checking for danger. He would scan around, listening....
" red...." a low voice grumbled beside him, if red velvet wasn't such a tough cookie he would of probably jumped out of his very dough! But he was a fighter and was't much surprised to see dark choc suddenly appear by his side.
" what...." He mutterd, still checking around the camp... Pomegranat and licorice didn't seem to stare by their voices but he was sure to whisper Just in case.
" and don't call me that..." He whisperd to dark chco.
Dark chco took a step closer, he seemed anxious " I need to talk with you..." He whisperd back, keeping voice as low as possible. Red velvet eyes narrowed with suspension. He didn't trust dark choc...he knew that he was't committed to their master like the other cookies....mso he simply turnd his body away from him, not wanting to speak.
" leave....." He warned dark chco, gazing off into the darkness of the tree's.
Of course, dark chco didn't listen. Along with his dark attitude he was also very stubborn, " velvet..." dark chco scowled at him... and gave a sigh...
" just listen.." chco pleaed, his tone now more soft and genuine. He took one last too over at Pomegranat.. she was in what seems like a deep sleep. Atleast for now..
" we have a choice..." He started... trying to apple to velvet
" what are you babbling about?" Velet quickly snapped back, still not wanting to acknowledge the conversation.
This is when dark chco look down to see red's cake arm. " you know what I mean" He said gensuring wit his eye's towards the arm, not velvet could see this at the time..
Still... velvet was't stupid.. course he knew what dark chco was talking about. His face wrinkled his face with anger as he clutched the fist of his cake hand. " I said leave..." He repeated, now turning to dark chco leaning over with his cake arm to intimate the Knight.
Dark chco was't afraid... not of velvet. Not of anyone. " come with me" He asserted
This made velvet boil over! " when will you get it!!?" He spat " there's nothing! Out there!" Pointing to the other wood's with anger. Even dark choc had to admit he was a little shock by this....
Velvet breathed. Trying yo stay calm so not to wake the other's " not for cookies like us...." velvet held his cake arm sadly, looking down at the ground between them.
" listen to Pomegranat! Knight!" He vexed, trying to sound like her when she was mad or upset. With this he turned back to his guard duties
" now got the last time..." He sighed " go back to bed" ....
With those dark choc, Went back to his place in camp. It wasn't the first time he had tried to convince red velvet to leave. But his heart was loyal to dark enchantous and to Pomegranat... there was a time he thought of them of not being so different...
I was wrong..,, with this thought he drifted into sleep
