"C'mon. Look at me! No plan. No backup. No weapons worth a damn. Oh. And I'll tell you something else I don't have: Anything to loose! So...." Anxiety smirked and brushed his hair out of the way. "Come get me."
"What do you think you're doing!" Prin...
Patton's pov "Okay crew! Let's roll out!" I giggled as each side sat up with sleepy faces.
"I'm gonna climb that tree and see if I can find anything nearby. When I get back you all better be awake and enthusiastic!" I jumped up and started to climb the tree.
I popped my head through the leaves and saw a castle in the distance. I know that castle.
I shrunk away at the sight of it. It looked so wilted now. I continued to look and saw a light a little farther in the forest. I smiled.
As I started to climb down I shouted down, "We're about a mile off of some weird lights. I think they're from the town we were at!" I smiled down at Logan, Prince, and Anx.
They were awake and standing, "Good you're awake. I thought I was gonna have to sing the 'alive alert awake enthusiastic' song to wake you guys up."
Anx started walking in the direction of where I said the lights were, "Patton as chill as you are, if you sing that song one more time.... I'm taking away your cookies."
I gasped, "Y-You don't mean that.... right?"
He just kept walking but I saw the small smirk he had.
"A-Anx? C'mon you're kidding, right?" I followed behind him. He still didn't answer.
After a few minutes of walking and talking, Anx asked "Patton? Could I borrow you for a minute?"
I smiled as always, "Sure Kiddo!" He took a deep breath and looked back to make sure Logan was a fair distance away.
"What's up?"
"That conversation you had with Thomas....."
I know where this is going.
"....Why were you insisting that things could be worse?"
"Because they could. You know me kiddo! Looking for the positive in situations."
"Patton.... that's not an optimistic outlook. That's just avoiding feelings."
I gave him a fake confused look, "What do you mean?"
Anxiety was about to say something when Logan cut him off. "Anxiety stop walking."
"Oh so we stop now, but before when—"
"Where's Roman?"
We all looked around and saw nothing but trees.
This..... is a problem.
Romans pov There's a light ahead. It must be where we're headed. I followed the light but as soon as I realized I was alone, I frowned at the empty space behind me.
"We're going to the same place anyway... I'll meet them there." I pressed on, getting closer.
I realized the light came from a higher place then I thought. Actually..... it was taller than the trees. I didn't realize it was the top of a castle:
