Flames Pond and the Princess 4: Flames Pond Never Dies

Lily to the Rescue

Lily's POV
"Keep going..." I thought. "Keep going, Lily! Mom is in trouble! She needs help!"

I was pretty much fatigued since I didn't bother to take a breather. And my feet grew heavy from the sticky mud.

Just then I heard talking from a vent. It sounded like mom. Finally I found her. But she doesn't sound panicky. Odd.

Not wanting to waste any more time, I started climbing up the vents.

Lucy's POV
I almost died. "Oh my gosh. Is it really... really you?"

Flames only nodded.

I was too speechless. Flames came behind me and untied the bonds. Immediately after I was free, I jumped up and hugged Flames tightly.

His arms wrapped around me. I buried my head in his chest. "Oh, Flames! Oh, Adam! I missed you so much!!"

"I missed you more Lucy..."

I smiled and Adam smiled back. Then we both leaned in for a kiss.

Before we kissed, we both heard clanking. I looked up.

"What was that?" I asked.

Just then, a scream was heard. Then a body fell from the roof. It was Lily.

Flames's POV
"Lily?!" Lucy and I exclaimed.

"What are you doing here?" Lucy asked.

"Mom! You're OK! I came to rescue you! And I'm glad I came. You alright?" Lily asked.

"I'm fine. But listen, right now's a good time to-"

Then her expression changed as soon as she saw me.

"Wait who's that?! Why does he look a lot like... dad?"

"Lily, listen!" Lucy said. "We don't have time to explain. We have to get out of here. We'll tell you on the way out. OK?"

Lily crossed her arms. "Fine. But it better be good. Besides, I went through mud and a lot of other obstacles just to get to you."
