[Book 2/2]
After Kyler staged her death and ran away, Phoenix drop wasn't the same.
Laurence, Cadenza, Zane, Garroth, and Dante weren't the same.
But neither was Kyler.
She was all alone. With her own thoughts.
Her own conscience tore her apart. It...
"Don't run from me mister," I laughed at the young boy crawling away from me "Ha! I told you he loves me more," Cadenza teased as she picked him up "That's only because he doesn't know me well yet! Just wait!" I laughed "Caza!" Kyle giggled playing with her hair "Look he even knows my name," she said pridefully "He knows my name too, it's exactly like his own," I laughed "Can you say Kyler?" Cadenza asked the small boy "Ky-er!" He smiled stumbling over to me "That's right," I laughed grabbing him and throwing him up in the air and catching him "Hey girls," Aphmau smiled coming down the stairs "Hey aph!" I smiled "How was Kyle? Was he good?" She asked as I handed him to her "He was an angel," Cadenza smiled "Oh good. Can you say bye to the girls?" Aphmau asked him "Bye bye Caza! Bye bye Ky-er," he waved "Bye cutie," I laughed as we left her house.

As we walked outside I was pinned against the wall of the house.
"Oof-" I groaned as I hit the wall "Kyler!" Laurence shouted "Holy- what!" I asked shocked still "I have a huge problem!" He said "What is your huge problem?" I laughed "I need you to come with me to find my horse! He ran away!" He said "Oh no, alright, let's go." I said "He ran out the gate," he said and nodded "Bye Cadenza!" I waved behind me "By Ky," she laughed waving back.

*Laurence*
"We're going in circles," she said tiredly "No we aren't! I know where I'm going!" I pestered "Boys and their sense of their direction," she rolled her eyes.
We were in fact going in circles. Dante was throwing her another surprise party.
He told Aphmau it was for saving Phoenix Drop from the Hila troops, but we all know it was just to apologize to her.
I was the one to distract her this time. My horse hadn't gotten out. He was still at the stables.
"Laurence, I'm sorry, but I don't think we're gonna find him," she frowned "Can we just look for, a half an hour more?" I frowned "Yes," she sighed and smiled.

*Kyler*
As we approached the gates Dante was standing on guard. He opened them for us.
"No luck?" Dante asked "Nope," Laurence frowned "Well I have good news... We may or may not have found him on the beach," he smiled "You did?!" He beamed "He's in the stables," Dante chuckled before Laurence ran in that direction "Irene how does he still have energy?" I laughed "Kyler, Cadenza wanted to see you. She's at her house," he said "Thanks," I replied before walking away.

"CAZ!" I yelled at her door "KY!" She shouted opening up her door and letting me in "I am need?" I said causally "Yes you are," she laughed "For?" I asked "First order of business, can you be my live mannequin? I need to work on a few of these dresses," she said "Oh yea- sure, of course," I nodded smiling "Cool, and the next part, I know you're living in like the guards tower right now so... Do you wanna be my roommate?" She asked "Aw cadenza! Yes! Thank you!" I hugged her "Hey, no problem. I heard you had originally just planned to live in your old house with Dante but," she trailed off "Yea," I sighed "Well let's get to the dresses!" She exclaimed happily.

It was sunset now and I was still trying on clothes while she adjusted them. I was wearing a white lace two piece thing.

Someone knocked on the door and we both went to see who it was. Laurence was standing there out of breathe.
"Are you okay?" I asked "Kyler, we need you at the plaza! Now!" He exclaimed "Let me put some shoes-" I was cut off "Here!" Cadenza said throwing me some random shoes of hers "What's going on?" I asked as I put them on "You'll see," he said as cadenza pulled my scarf off "Cadenza, what are you doing?" I asked "You won't need this," she said throwing it "Cadenza, no. I need to wear that," I said "No you don't. You're prettier without it," she said closing her door and coming with us.
As we approached the plaza there were bright lights shining. I was confused as we walked up.
"Surprise!" Everyone jumped out at once "Wait what," I laughed "We're throwing you a party for saving us!" Nicole laughed "Oh, aw thanks guys," I said "This is why I made you put on cute clothes, and why Laurence made you chase after nothing all day," Cadenza winked "Oh, makes sense," I smiled "Now go dance!" Laurence pushed me into everybody as the music started.
I tripped as he pushed me and two arms caught me. I looked up and smiled at the boy in front of me.
