The four left and decided to start the journey immediately without their parents permission so they piled up all their money and went to the near by mall to get some stuffs.


Elizabeth was admiring the environment since it was all purple. The walls, the shops, all purple.

She was walking without concentration and bumped into someone.


"S-sorry." Elizabeth said and helped the stranger to stand on HIS feet.

"No worry pretty girl, watch your way next time." The stranger looked at her in the eye, his dazzling nut brown eyes staring into her poor soul.


Elizabeth blushed in embarrassment and went up to the rest of the gang.

Ehi noticed Elizabeth look and confronted her.

"You okay?" Ehi asked in concern.

"Y-yes, thank y-you." Elizabeth said and grinned.

Ehi just shrugged.


"We got everything." Gerald said walking up to the girls.

"Food, camp stuffs, insect spray and so on." He continued. Elizabeth blushed.

Gerald looked away in order to avoid the look.


"Let's go! It's six, the Semlynxan isn't really active after seven." Herald said calling everyone's attention.


--


It was already seven so they decided to stay in a three star motel for the night.

A room for the girls and another for the brothers.


"You know, this behaviour is becoming too serious." Ehi said off loading her stuff.

"What behaviour?" Elizabeth asked in confusion while stepping off the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

"This long term crush on Gerald." She said and Elizabeth blood ran cold.


"He just doesn't find you interesting, besides, we got a war to deal with and we need to find the host of the purity spirit." Ehi explained and Elizabeth sighed in sequence.


"I'm sorry if I-i wasn't t-taking this m-mission seriously." Elizabeth said and frowned.

"I didn't mean it like that." Ehi said.

"THEN WHAT! DO YOU THINK I WANT TO LIKE HIM! I HATE MYSELF FOR FEELING THIS WAY OKAY!" Elizabeth screamed.


Ehi pouted and gave Elizabeth a warm hug. Elizabeth heart melted and started weeping.

"Will everything be okay in the end?" Elizabeth asked.


' "Yes" ' Ehi and Melon answered at the same time.


Elizabeth sighed and soon fell asleep. Ehi carefully placed her on one of the bed.

The next morning, The four reunited and left the motel.

"Did you guys sleep well?" Herald asked.

"Yes, nothing out of the ordinary." Elizabeth answered.

"Lucky you, our room stenched of fag and something more inappropriate and while someone was taking a shower, really late, the someone screamed after torching cond-" Gerald said but Herald hit his shoulder to cut him off.


"Dude!" Herald complained.

"Truth." Gerald said and burst into laughter.

Both girls looked at each other confused and then burst into laughter.


"Shh! We're here." Herald said.

The signboard gave off the sign that they had arrived at Manchester.

"Now." Herald walked up to the signboard and his aura turned dark. His shadow metaphor into that of a standing wolf and his hair turned red, completely.


The signboard then ripped perfected into two and a red portal opened.

"YOU WENT INTO THAT!" Gerald yelled but Herald ignored him.

"GET IN QUICK! SOMEONE MIGHT CATCH US!" Herald yelled in command, his voice more deeper and raspy.


They rushed into the portal and as soon as Herald entered, the signboard turned into normal.

They had stepped into a dark forest.

Way too dark. 

"A-are we s-s-safe?" Elizabeth asked weakly.

"Yes, just follow my lead." Herald said and switched on the torch and walked deeper into the forest.


As they walked, it became darker and darker. Elizabeth couldn't take it anymore and went ahead to hold Heralds hand.

She swore she saw a frown in Gerald's face but hard to tell when it was really dark.


Soon a small light appeared and it appeared to be an open door. The four walked into it and the girls were astonished.


The biggest garden field ever with variety of fruits and nuts grown.

Elizabeth was about to pluck out some strawberries but Herald stopped her.

"Poisonous." He said and she slowly got up.


A split second and everything became dark for Elizabeth.

She fell and the only thing she heard were screams of panic and soon the light faded.
