Lizzie ran out of the forest, ran as fast as she could untill she made it to rens tower, hoping she'd find ren there, "Ren!?" She called out, Lizzie looked up to see if she could see him at the top, and there he was, he fell asleep enar his nether wart farm on his roof, Lizzie made her way up slowly, trying to avoid falling down the massive hole in the floor that came with rens boogey kill, Lizzie shook ren shakily, she was terrifed, Ren woke up and shook his head, As he turned around to look at Lizzie , He saw how terrfied Lizzie looked, she was shaking and sweating like crazy and she looked like she was gonna burst out crying at any second, "Whats wrong my queen?" He asked, getting down on one knee. "Cl-cleo...she-" Lizzie stammered out, "If you are talking about the unfortune and harsh treachery against cleo due to the boogeyman curse then I am already informed about it", He looked at her and she shook her head vigorusly, "Check chat again!" She told him, Ren looked confused as he checked his comunicator, getting up in the process, As Lizzie saw Ren check chat she saw his ears, tail and wings drop in sadness. He looked at Lizzie, "I-im scared...ren...she..." Lizzie told him, tears started rolling down her face, trying to tell him what cleo threatned on day one, "Shesgonnaburndownmyhome!thefairyfort!" She blurted out really first before falling to the ground, Ren walked over and sat near her, leaning his head on her shoulder, "I dont know what to do Ren! I-I understand where Bigbs coming from B-but-A-also- She- might be in the right" Lizzies breathing got quicker and quicker as she spoke, looking away from Ren, "My queen, if I may" He said, Lizzie looked at him slightly and nodded, "It may be hard right now...but things will get better..." He started, "We can save the fort! We can try stop it!" He told her, putting on a small weak smile, Lizzie wiped her tears with her other sleeve, her breathing got a bit slower, "How are we...gona do that, its made ENTIRELY out of wood", "Im sure we will be capable of finding a way my queen", "We can dream" She muttered under her breathe, A few moments of silence went past as Lizzie slowed her breathing, "I suggest we should replace all the secret hiding spots and stuff we have hidden from others  and replace them with traps" Ren told her as he got up, "...Yeah, that sounds good" Lizzie replied, she brushed off her knees as she got up and untied her hair, her pink hair falling down her back and over her green wings, Lizzie put on a fake smile and held Rens hand, seeing Lizzie smile made Ren smile just a bit, though he felt something was off about it, he tried to shake off the feeling, the two made their way down, something these seemingly useless wings *were* good for was if they fell it would lighten in it just a bit, "Should we try water bucket clutch off the tower?" Ren joked, Lizzie laughed and rolled her eyes, "If you have a death wish", Ren laughed, the two finally made it down and they made their way to the fairy fort, making jokes on the way to lighten the dark mood. Once they arrived they started setting up traps, hopefully cleo will fall for them, they spent majorty of the night doing this, it was a weird way of spending time but it worked. Once they were done Lizzie set up a small campfire and sat down nearby, Ren sitting down next to her soon after, placing his head on her shoulder, "Should we still keep bigb?" Lizzie asked out of nowhere, Ren lifted his head and stared at Lizzie, "I mean- yeah, can we really blame him?, Ren replied, "He had to! The boogey curse..." he added on, Lizzie looked down, "Yeah its just-", She started. Lizzie took a deep breathe, "Cleo...and I...had a chat, She pointed out that...You and I", She pointed at Ren and then herself, "Didnt betray eachother...we stayed loyal..." She started scratching Rens ears, "But he did...he...he betrayed Cleo...", Ren sighed "...Cleo doesnt know what its like. They havent been boogey, but my queen, *we* do, we understand the despertion of needing a kill..." "I think we should keep him", "However the desicion is ultimetly yours my queen, I'll stand by whatever you choose", Lizzie nods, "Alright...we can keep him, Lizzie put on a small smile before getting up, "Im heading to bed" She told Ren, Ren nodded and got up, patting dragon as the dog walked past, "Sleep tight my queen" He smiled, as he walked past Lizzie hoped into bed


"Cleo? Cleo?" Pearl shouted out, looking around near spawn for her friend, she needed to make sure Cleo was okay, Cleo came out from the trees, looking entirely different, her once blue outfit was now gray, and so was her skin, her eyes were red and their hair had gray ash all in it, "Listen um- if you'd like to get your stuff you gave us you can-" She told them, smiling weakly, Cleo shook their head, "You can keep it" Pearl gave her a confused look, "Your not...mad at me?, Cleo shook their head again, "Of course not, you didnt do anything to me", Pearl sighed a sigh of relief, "So...I guess this is goodbye" Pearl said sadly after a few moments of silence, "For now" Cleo replied, turning around, "We'll meet again" They reassured her, Pearl smiled weakly once again as Cleo left, her orange hair floating in the slightly cold, chilly night air, they held tightly onto flint in steel in one hand and a lava bucket in the other, Pearl turned around to go back to the scottage


Cleo kicked her feet back and fourth, sitting on the ledge of the top of her tower, lava slowly pouring down, a wicked smile was on their face as they stared right at the fairy fort. "Oh sweet, sweet revenge" They said cheerfully, they cracked their knuckles and got up from the edge, "I warned you lizzie" She muttered, she started making her way down to the fairy fort, leaving a trail of small fires as they did. Once they arrived they stood in the trees, setting the one they previously on aflame once she changed what tree they were on. Eventually though they heard voices, a familiar british female voice and an american male voice, it was Lizzie and Bigb, Cleo sat down on a branch of a tree, Lizzie looked helplessy around the burning fairy fort, tears and hurt filled her eyes. Bigb just looked Sad, "My tree fort..." Lizzie mumbled, starting to walk around, Bigb following behind her, Lizzie looked up at Cleo, "You...did say you'd do this" She yelled to Cleo so she could hear her, Cleo chuckled and nodded, "Yup- and I *always* keep my promises", Lizzie looked back down, searching around she found two of her dogs,  "...Wheres ogre?" Lizzie asked, she started to paniclly look around, "Cleo...I am *so sorry*" Bigb said, walking fowards slightly, "Oh for fucks sake" Cleo muttered, already annoyed at bigb, "Save it *Traitor*" they yelled back, anger dripped from their voice , "B-but" He muttered, Lizzie started to try calm the fire and get rid of it only for Cleo to get up from the branch and start to set more trees on fire, Cleo was faster and quicker than Lizzie and Lizzie couldnt keep up with it, "Your not saving it Liz" Cleo called out, "I can try!" She called back. Cleo rolled her eyes, Lizzie could be so naive at times. So foolish. Lizzie suddenly stopped in her tracks as she saw ogre, circled by flames and lava coming down towards the beloveded dog, "NO-" Lizzie called out as she rushed over to the dog, placing blocks to stop the lava. "Oh Bigb why arent you doing anything?" Cleo teased, jumping off a tree onto what remained of the fairy fort roof. She knealed down and stared at him, "Too afraid you'd get hurt?", "Busy thinking about yourself *again?*" They asked, the second one being in a hurt and furious tone, louder and more agresive. Cleo hoped down from the burning roof and landed on the ground, she flinched slightly as they took a few bits of damage, "Goodbye Lizzie, Goodbye Ren, Goodbye Bigb" Cleo said,  Statsfied with what they had done, they made their way out of the soon to be fully burnt fairy fort. Lizzie walks over to Bigb, finally finished saving her dog, That would be the last thing she'd save from the fairy fort, Lizzie and Bigb watched the flames burn down, Lizzie had given up on her attempt to save her home, It was in shambles and there was no way she could save it now, tears started rolling down her cheek.
