The New Light of Hope Book V: Corruption From Within.

Chapter I: Silent.

Abigail:

Date: July 1, 2020.

"Remember what I told you two?" Our mother reminded us as we headed out the door. "We know, mom, we know. We'll be fine." Bellatrix informed her. "I promise we'll be safe."

Bunny: "All right. Stay safe out there."

Bellatrix: "We will. Bye, mom."

Bunny: "Bye, Girls."

All I did to say goodbye was wave my hand as I had my head lowered down to avoid eye contact as we left and went to our temporary meeting spot.

"Y'all ready to get this show on the road?" Bellatrix asked everyone when we made it. "We sure are!" Aurora responded.

Summer: "Then let's get this show on the road, shall we?"

"Hey, guys, can I ask you all something?" Sadie added in, we all turned to face her to hear what she had to say. "Sure thing, Sadie, what is it?" Aurora asked, sounding patient while calmly waiting for her to respond. "Well, you guys know Scarlett, right?" She asked us, hoping that we remembered, and if not, she would refresh our memory on who she was— I did remember her mentioning Scarlett during one the meetings we had during June, but none of us never really met her before in person and another thing that I did remember that she did hint that she might kind of have feelings for her. "I know you mentioned the kid during one of the meetings during June and you did tell us that you might have feelings for her, but we haven't met the kid just yet until you brought her up during that same meeting. Aside from Jemma of course, but other than that, we haven't really met her in person." Summer answered. "How come you ask?"

Sadie: "Well, I was wondering… well, if y'all didn't mind, if she could along come with us to the forest. It'll give y'all the chance to meet her in person and a chance for her to know y'all and the Forest as a whole."

Commander Aurora: "Sure! We'd just have to head to her place and go from there. And you have to worry about one of us spilling the beans to her, your secret is safe with us."

Sadie: "Thank you, Aurora."

Commander Aurora: "No problem, Sadie."

Amethyst: "Do you know her address?"

Sadie: "I do, as a matter of fact. She lives on 1116 Bear Road."

Summer: "I know where that is and I've passed by that house more mutiple times."

Jemma: "All right. Abby, do you think you can teleport us there?"

I nodded my head "Yes" in response. And without another word, I begn to think opened a gateway that would led all of us right to Scarlett's house. I jerked my head into the direction of the portal and then we all went through, where, on the other side, stood a house with a metal fence surrounding it; it was a nice small house painted in white, the porch leading up to the front door was small with a chair that was on the right side of it. Sadie went up the steps that led to the front door of the house and knocked and then waited for a response. Then, a tomboy Arctic fox mix with light gray, almost white fur, red splotches on her face and all over her body, red tipped ears, a red tail with the same light gray color at the end of it, dark red hair, and ice blue eyes and wore a dark gray shirt with red roses on it, dark green cargo pants, purple shoes with flowers on it, a bronze necklace with sunflowers on the front of it, a purple thermal hat, and wore a red, orange, and lavender purple stone beaded bracelets on her left arm, answered the door. So this must be the girl Sadie was talking about, I see.

Sadie:

"Hey, Sadie! How are you?" She asked me. I could feel my face turning red and I began blushing, but I managed to reply to her by saying: "H-hey, Scarlett! So, umm, I was wondering if you would… I don't know, come with me and my friends to forest, maybe?"
