Destiny By Blood #EAHAdventuresAway

Heading Off

I want to thank @winter_blackburn for giving me her idea on this chapter. Thank you!

~Theodora's and Faybelle's Dream~

   " You have no choice sister." Cora smiled as she gripped tighter onto her Faybelle's heart. Faybelle winced as Theodora let tears run down her eyes nonstop. The wind blew harsher than ever and sharp silence whipped between the two.

     " Mom! Don't do it! Don't let her have it!" Faybelle cried. Theodora held the shiny three gems in her hand.

" Give it Theodora." Cora commanded. " And I won't hurt your precious little girl."

Theodora gave a look at the gems then looked at her daughter. The gems would end the curse. But Faybelle was everything to Theodora.

" You won Cora...you won." Theodora said in defeat.

" Mom no! Just let me die! I don't care! As long as the curse is gone!" Faybelle cried.

Theodora walked forward and gave the three jewels. Cora smiled as she smashed them to the ground.

" It's a shame you're just like the rest sister." Cora said as she crushed Faybelle's heart. Faybelle fell to the ground motionless.

    " Faybelle!" Theodora cried as Cora disappeared.

~ End of Theodora and Faybelle's Dream~

Faybelle woke up shooting straight up from her pillow. She saw everyone around a campfire warming themselves. She slipped out of her sleeping bag as Raven caught her.

" Bad dream?" Raven frowned.

" Yeah..." Faybelle replied. " Why are asking?"

" Cause we all had bad dreams." Ramona replied as she came over with some logs.

" Oh..."

" And since we all had nightmares we can probably tell that someone caused these bad dreams." Apple stated.

" My mother." Raven declared. " She's up to something that is. And it's not going to be pretty."

   " What do we do?" Cerise asked as Ramona tossed the logs into the burning flames.

    " We'll have to split up." Raven turned around to see the forest ahead of them.

    " One group of us will go east, west, and north." Theodora said pointing in those directions.

    " Sounds great." Faybelle agreed. "Let's do this then."

   " But right now?" Cerise asked dumbfounded as she yawned loudly. "Don't we want to try to rest again? Not even for a few minutes?"

    " Trust me, when you saw a few minutes you mean a few hours." Ramona laughed as Cerise gave a mean look.

    " I'll take that as a no." Cerise grumbled as she tugged onto her hood as a sign of defeat.

   " Alright then." Raven said. " Apple, you'll come with me up north."

   " Great." Apple smiled.

   " Ramona, Hunter, you two might as well come with me." Cerise said.

   " The west sounds a bit wild. Perfect for the three of us." Ramona added to what her sister said.

   " That leaves us with the east." Theodora looked at her daughter.

   " Then let's go." Raven said starting to head towards north. " If we can't sleep then why bother stay here if we can find that last gem."

   " Wait Raven." Hunter stopped her. "You might as well take this sword. Just in case you encounter your mother."

    Hunter handed her the sword. It shined even though it was in the dark. Raven gripped onto the heavy handle of the sword.

   " Thanks Hunter." Raven smiled.

   " Your welcome." Hunter smiled back. " You're going to need it."

And they headed off in each of their own direction.

   " Raven?" Apple asked as they were following a random trail that was heading up north.

   " Yeah Apple?" Raven asked.

   " What if our dreams came true?" Apple asked. " What do they mean?"

   " I don't know Apple. I don't know." Raven sighed. " But I hope that they don't come true."

   " I hope so too Raven." Apple said.

   " What was your dream about?" Raven asked Apple.

   " My mother died." tears from Apple's blue eyes started to form.

" Apple...I'm so sorry..." Raven said with guilt as she hugged Apple.

   " And yours Raven? What was yours about?" Apple asked as she let go of the hug but still rested her hands upon Raven's shoulder.

   " It was about Dexter..."

   " Oh...Raven..." Apple hugged Raven tighter than before. Raven soon burst into sober.

    " But let's keep our heads up and don't give up." Apple added.
