POV Ciara
we had reached Crystal base. killed the pillagers with no problem, then made our way into the base, a handful of zombies and we reached her command room finding the undead Dexter. Abigail knocked her down, and Elite and Kane sourced her with the rope. Maya gathered up some recourses for a personal project.
"Rember we aren't here to kill, we want to bring her back," Abigail said.
I nodded. "I don't want to hurt her," I answered. "she's having problems but that's no reason to completely give up on her," I answered.
"I wish I had your confidant Ciara," Abigail said.
I turned my head over to the tied up Dexter, I fell in love then out again, but that didn't matter I just want to help her now, there had to be a way to undo this right.
Abigail put a hand on my back. "You are one of the bravest people on any world Ciara, we will fix this," Abigail said.
Kane walked over. "What is this bonding?" he joked. I chucked my dagger at him before calling it back to my hand. "Okay, forgot the no joking about bonding rule," he added. Kane learned on his weapon. "Now you two I want you ready, we don't know when Crystal'll be back,"
Kane was right and we got ready, there we waited for almost an hour. in the darkness, then the blue portal opened and Crystal walked out. I didn't let her appearance throw me off. she walked through the room and slammed her fist down.
"Why can't I kill her, what is holding me back?" Crystal asked. we were about to go forward when we heard another voice.
"you are still too attached to them, Crystal they aren't your friends anymore, they are the people who took Charlie from you, who let you get hurt and suffer for them,"
I looked over at Kane, he looked looking at shocked as me. "What was that?"I mouthed.
Kane shrugged. "How am I meant to know? I hardly know her," he answered.
Crystal turned and face towards the door. "I...How do you let go of attachment?" she asked. Abigail slowly started to sneak towards Crystal. "Did you really think you could sneak up on me?" she asked.
Abigail stopped and ready the rube thorn. "I'm here to stop you, Crystal," Abigail answered.
"You can try," Crystal said, turned and launched a lightning bolt at Abigail. she raised the ruby thorn and deflected the bolt. smashing to the wall right next to me. so we took that as our queue and went out. Elite and Maya doing the same. "All 5 of you? well, why didn't you say you wanted a massacre,"
a massive energy bolt struck out knocking everyone back, bar me and Abigail. We both Charged at Crystal, Abigail going right and me holding left. Crystal blocked Abigail with the sword and used her lightning to smash into me.
I recovered quickly, looking up in time to see Abigail getting stabbed through the chest for like the 3rd time in her life, she tried to bring the ruby thorn around and stabbed into Crystal's shoulder.
Abigail fell back. Me and Kane getting back up and going forward. I brought my dagger down knock the sword out of Crystal's hand and stabbing into her hand. Kane aiming for her legs, Crystal kicked him in the face and grabbed my arm sending a lightning blot into my arm. Elite went at Crystal from behind and she caught the blade. and punched Elite in the face sending it back into Maya.
Crystal then opened a portal and slammed me back towards the portal. she walked towards us and grabbed Abigail by the neck. "You were stupid for every trying," She said. she through Abigail at us, as we fell into the portal the world went dark.
POV Kyle
I was going to meet with Stella, she said she had an idea to help me recover my memory. so I opened the door and froze when I saw Meeps harmless swing her sword, and it triggered something in the back of my head.
I was opening a door and a sword swung at me and I ducked, summoning up glowing swords in my hand, and standing there was Meeps holding a sword different to the one she had now.
"Kyle?" Stella asked. I snapped back to reality. "You look like you've seen a ghost," She added.
I looked at Meeps. "I remember opening a door and her attacking me," I said.
"Oh that was how we first met, simple times," Meeps said. "Do you remember anything else?" she asked.
I shook my head. "That's all but that's got to be good right?" I asked.
"maybe, Memory is a weird thing there is a chance you'll get it all back...or just bits," Stella replied.
"If Alex wasn't missing I would suggest talking to him," Meeps said.
I sighed and walked over to the window and leaned on it. "KYLE NO!" Stella said.
I was about to ask why when the window slid to and side and I fell through, and someone grabbed the back of my red jacket and pulled me back in. "he's almost as bad as Alex," Razer said.
I spun around to him and straightened my jacket, and pointed at Razer. "I am not near as bad as Alex," I snapped at him.
"you just learned on an open window," Razer said.
I brought the finger in creating a fist. "Yeah well....screw you!" I called marching to the door. "You people are...aghh," I said slamming the door.
POV Hilda
I rubbed my face. "Nothing here is easy...no one here is easy," I said.
Azura nodded. "On the bright side everyone's ready for Lilith, we've got a plan for when she attacks," Azura answered.
"Can we bet her? Ember was pretty sure she was dead," I said.
"Hilda, we're fighting to save Charlie, I'm sure most of the people here are going to be willing to protect him, he's our friend, well expect Razer, I'm not sure what he thinks of Charlie I kinda amused Razer found Charlie annoying," Azura answered.
"What about Sheila and Alex?" I asked. truth be told the only reason I care is we need everyone we can get.
Azura shrugged. "no idea, I wasn't able to track them," Azura answered. "Patrick is recovering quickly if it helps," Azura added.
"Good, is..."
"Yes Hilda he's waiting, in case Lilith makes it through, we have all grounds covered she isn't getting the drop on us," Azura answered.
POV Ciara
I woke up in a bed in frostbourne. a cold sweat, so this must have been where Crystal sent us, I got up and went to find Razer, maybe he knew something about that voice I heard talking to Crystal.
As I left the room I walked straight into someone, I Was about to yell at them then I saw who it was, Kyle, as in the dead guy. "Kyle?" I asked.
he looked at me confused for a moment then sighed. "Great another one to call me an idiot," He complained before storming off, I shook it off and found Razer with Meeps, Stella, Rain and Ember.
"Okay, my plan for Charlie is...." Razer started when I interrupted him.
"Razer... I heard a voice talking to Crystal. it sounded Evil," I said.
Razer stared at me for a moment. "What?" Razer asked completely shooked. "What?"
"Someone is using her," I added.
Razer looked over at Meeps. Stella and Rain looked at each other scared.
