A beautiful world full of nightmares

Chapter 16

What I saw with my own two eyes was something I thought I'd never see in my life.

Carolina levitating and making Pastel banish!

She's a lot stronger than I thought, especially for a girl who can't speak.

But I get speech or none at all doesn't make a difference, does it?

It's a good thing Carolina agreed to join us.

Lilac healed Skye as Carolina was making sure she had returned to her normal state.

She then helped Lilac and Skye heal Luna and Rose. However, they couldn't heal every part of Luna; she had lost not only her voice but also her butterfly powers as they died when she was dying. Unfortunately they couldn't be recovered.

Rose on the other hand is completely fine, like nothing happened.

I've stopped being a wimp and hiding behind Flutter by now. I was so much of a wimp I hid behind Flutter who's likely in a coma. I wasn't only embarrassed but also destroyed in the now discovery.

Due to Luna's new state of powerlessness, like me, she passes her leader role to her sister via the use of sign language.

Rose had determination written all over her face as she lead us all to the half dead tree, the tree we originally planned to go to before Pastel dropped by.

"We need to look around the tree. Pastel was not here for no reason." Rose commands.

Flutter's floating body stays by Rose - who isn't looking around the tree at all but making sure everyone stays safe - so I do too.

The tree itself has a very thin base of bark so it was easy to look around for them. But yet, nothing was found.

So Carolina floated further up the tree to see if she could find anything.

And she did.

When Rose realised she was out of her view for too long, she rushed closer to the tree to make sure she was okay. I followed behind her as Flutter's floating body did.

"What's going on up there?" Rose asks Carolina, forgetting she's mute.

Lilac climbs up the thin tree to figure out where Carolina went.

"Guys! Get up here!" Lilac shouts after a few minutes.

"What is it, Lilac?" Rose asks.

"It is an entrance to what may be Crimson's lair."

Rose's eyes widened and she immediately got everyone to climb up the tree, including myself, before she did.

Flutter's body rose with Rose's so it came with her.

And soon, we're all in this metal filled room; from top to bottom. Just metal.

"We all need to stay close. I cannot risk anymore injuries and forever scars."

Everyone else nods in response.

And like that, we all follow Rose through the maze of metal and darkness.

Every so often we ran into an enemy but was easy for Rose to kill on her own.

We haven't ran into Pastel yet which is good.

But we ran into someone much stronger.

"Scarlet!" Rose gasped as this Scarlet was standing at the end of a metal corridor we found ourselves in; a tight corridor.
