Book 3 ~ The Puppet Master

23- My Assignment

A few days have passed, and I still don't know how I'm supposed to kill Blaze.

No one told me why I had to either, which makes it even more difficult.

Ugh, how do I kill Blaze!

My friend... one of Gakupo's best friend...

Blaze. Dopey, funny, hilarious Blaze who always looks out for us.

I don't think I can do it.

Gakupo entered the room.

"Lily!" He called

I flew down to where he was.

"What?" I smiled, though my brain was screaming at me to run away.

"Amber called for a meeting."

"Okay." I replied

I wonder what she needs.

Oh, right. Soul.

Oh, If he told her he is going to be dead meat.

"Alright everyone, I've called you all here today because..."

Here it comes...

"I thought we should all go on a group outing into the jungle!"

Whew. What a relief.

"So everyone pack some supplies and let's get going!" Amber stated happier than usual.

When we all were ready and patiently waiting for Cursed to portal us to the jungle.

"Oh and by the way we are hiking," Everyone moaned at this. "Oh come on, it's really not that far guys." Amber sighed

"Whatever come on let's go." Amber ordered

When we finally found a nice spot that all of us agreed on, which was very hard scene none of us could agree...

"How about this spot?" Amber would ask

"It's too hot."

"It's too muddy."

"It's too cold."

"It's too sunny."

"It's too shady."

Someone would complain.

Ugh. It got annoying.

But we finally found a spot that had a pond, shade, many tall trees, sunlight, and a cave.

I sighed and flopped onto the ground.

Frost sat down next to me, as he usually did now.

Rose was running around, squealing as Blaze chased her around.

I smiled sadly.

How could I kill him? He was my friend. He was part of the Pack-

He was Blaze. Everyone missed him when he was missing- If I took him away, even if they didn't know who did it, they would never be the same.

And neither would I.

I looked at them all.

Rose. Amber. Shadow. Soul. Cursed. Gakupo. List. Trace. Song. Sparrow. Future. Stone.

They are my friends, and I couldn't just stand by and obey orders like an obedient child when if I slipped up only once, Frost would kill them.

And he didn't even know it.
