Across For Him (Completed)

Chapter 16

The ten people were told about what they were supposed to do. Darren was forced into becoming a commander while Ephia and Ellie chose to become head guards. Lawrence was a lookout. Do-Yeon and five others disguised as guards.

After they were briefed, the ten started to head to the castle. Darren had to be in the front while everybody followed, so people told him where to go.

Eventually, they saw a little bunny girl.

"Mister, my mommy is trapped! Can you please help?" Asked the little girl.

Darren almost said no, until he realized that her mom was in actual danger, and it wasn't just that the little girl had to do something stupid.

"Sure," Said Darren. "Where is she?"

"Follow me, and I think you might need your entire group." Said the girl.

They then followed her for around a minute until it started to get darker and smell terrible. They had to step over some sharp rocks. Then, once they stepped over the rocks, they went upwards, along with a moist wall under it.

"Thank you for helping me sir!" Said a voice, much more distorted and gruffer than the last.

They then realized what happened. They were inside of a mouth!

No wonder the ground was slippery!

The little rabbit girl then basically turned inside out and became part of a thin, long tongue. She was being pulled by the tongue the whole time!

The tongue then wrapped around one of the people and swallowed him. Everybody heard a yell, getting quieter and quieter until all they could hear were their own screams.

Ellie then took Darren's rifle and shot the tongue, stunning it.

The mouth then dropped open.

They all ran out, but, while running due to the slippery water Ephia slipped, not used to having the ability to be strong and balanced on her own without the ice queen semi-controlling her.

Some things from her uniform fell, but she thought they were unimportant. She even chipped a bit of the monster's tooth! She kept it as a souvenir.

SOME TIME LATER

They then walked down the path until they saw some kind of light. They then saw a grey tower fall. A ton of ice fell out of the tower too. It was strange.

"We're here," Somebody said.

He was right. The trees ahead of them started to either look charred, frozen or blinding.

They then saw an empty field filled with soldiers walking towards a cream castle with a ton of char marks.

"That's the light castle. It was recently destroyed, according to Philipen." Said somebody, clearly a follower of everything the obese man says.

There were a ton of holes in the building indicating bombs being lobbed inside. The bottom half of the front wall was obliterated.

A tower was missing  and there was smoke coming from the inside.

Some soldiers were taking people who looked poor and hurt to the castle, along with dead bodies, to the ice palace.

But soldiers were also putting a ton of people who seem like they came from a water like area asleep. After they put half of them asleep, they killed the rest from another man's orders. They brought the asleep ones into the castle.

The group was really powerful since it destroyed an entire tower.

The Ice Palace took their weapons.

The group of nine were terrified. They then decided the logical thing to do was to get to the castle.

They got through easily. But once they reached the gate a man in a complete robotic outfit was mad.

"Hey! You two head guards should be out in the forest!" He said, pointing to Ellie and Ephia.

"Sorry, sorry." Said Ephia.

"Fine." Said Ellie, mad that she can't yell at him, not knowing if she'll die. She's been through enough situations where her hot-headedness got her into sticky situations.

"You! Commander, go escort the lookout to the destroyed tower to see if he can find anything. After all, he is a head lookout. After that, we need you to escort the queen to safety." Said the metal man, dismissing Darren and Lawrence."And the rest of you, go and check the Light Village like the rest of your kind. Stupid guards."

They were then all separated. And none of our main five really knew what to do.
