Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say goodbye

Pick a star on the dark horizonAnd follow the lightYou'll come backWhen it's overNo need to say goodbyeYou'll come backWhen it's overNo need to say goodbye

"Let's never do that again". Viktor said once everyone exited and entered the new room.

"What? Narrowly escape the apocalypse?"  Five asked.

"It's kind of our thing, isn't it?" Diego asked.

Esme let out a snort.

"There's something very wrong about that". Allison gestured to the back of the buffalo where Ben was reaching out his hand to touch it, hitting the tail.

"Same suite, just ass-backward".  Lila spoke.

"No hyperbole there".  Five said.

"It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland". Esme told them.

"Yeah, and it gets weirder".  Diego looked to the others who haven't been here.

Hargreeves ran in, slamming the portrait door once he was out.  "Finally, the other side".

"Where's Klaus?"  Esme looked at him, eyes wide.

"Children, I'm sorry but your brother...I did all I could but he didn't make it through in time.  The Kugleblitz took its last victim". Hargreeves told them.

"But, he was right behind me when I entered the tunnel".  Five looked at Hargreeves, not understanding.

"Yeah".  Thomas backed Five up.  "The Kuleblitz didn't even hit the room yet when I went through the tunnel".  Thomas didn't believe Hargreeves.

"We need to go back and grab him".  Esme said.  She couldn't lose another brother.

"There's nothing to go back to".  Hargreeves was quick to say.  "Children, there will be time for tears later, right now we have to keep moving".  Hargreeves exited the room.

"Wait, Luther and Klaus?"  Viktor asked.

Esme looked at the ground, wrapping her arms around herself. "This can't be happening".

"It's magnificent". Hargreeves said as they walked into the backwards hotel.

"You guys should've stayed here. This place is way nicer". Ben told Diego as he was the closest to him.

"Esme, Lila, and I barely got out alive last time. Remember?" Diego looked over to him.

"But, I'm here this time, and the numbers are in our favor". Ben said cockily.

"Well, whatever it was, was strong, fast, and super pissed". Lila joined in on the conversation.
