All In The Past

Chap.6

   There was low murmurs and chuckles that spread across the monsters, I knew to stay quiet now. I shouldn't have spoken, but still I made sure not to show that I was nervous.
"She has offered to help, with her, we will be able to access so much more." Toffee announces with a confident smile. The others cheer, and I am surprised that he believes I can successfully help them.
"So, having said that, let's start our project." Toffee glowed in his success of his accomplishment and walked off, "Alright you heard him! Let's get to work!" Shouted another lizard man. He was taller and a little more build that Toffee was.
   Immediately everyone started off a course, I had no idea where we were going, where ever it was, everything seemed to be lead by Toffee. Which seem questionable in my eyes. From behind me Mayhem put her arm around me, "Hey girly! You have no idea how exciting this is!" Her eyes lit up, I was a little put down that I didnt know a lot of what was happening. I wish I had the same excitement as the others.
"Don't worry girly, all will be explained but that 's something He would like to explain."Pointing a Toffee in the distance having a conversation with the other lizard from earlier.
"Do you know why I'm here?" Mayhem stays quiet for a while when I ask her this, "I can't really say, I just know that your special!" She cheerily says.

The sun was starting to set the monster group was quietly moving to another area to settle in.
Walking in the silence I was behind everyone not wanting to get in the way of anything.
"Do you know why your here?" Suddenly a deep graveling voice says to me and I look up. It was the other lizard monster from earlier.
"Not really, I also don't see why I'm so important." We were a few feet behind the group now he made sure no one else could here our conversation.
"You aren't. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Not yet anyway." I look at him a bit intimidated.
"By the looks of it you don't have the will power to do anything. I'd advice you you change that before we decide to throw you out and find someone else."
This guy was harsh, It didn't bother me I knew he was only says by the truth.
"I won't fail you guys, I'm here now and whatever it is I have to do I'll do it. I'm capable of more than you think." I state firmly sounding more confident than I actually was.
Suddenly he smiled and chuckled.
"Ah I'm messing with ya." He says to his own amusement I scoff slightly annoyed.
"Name's Rasticore kiddo." He put out his hand for me to shake it.
"Well you know my name..." I mutter shaking his hand and quickly putting them back in my coat pockets.
"Hey you need anything you count on me, a friend of Toffee's is a friend of mine!" Rasticore says broadly and I chuckle.
"Sure thing." I loved monsters they understood what it's like being rejected by nearly everyone in every other dimension.
"Heeey Stop flirting!" I hear mayhem's voice, she was above me hovering and gently lands and walks with me, Rasticore laughs and shoves Mayhem.
"You wanna go!!!" She yells laughing and puts up her fists.
"Oh please I've won every time! Your a loser MayMay," he smirks at her daringly.
"Heeeey Dont call me that Garbage Bag!" Even though I knew they were messing with each other I felt like they were actually going to start throwing punches if somebody didn't stop them.
"Hey you two knock it off. What are you two, toddlers?" Toffee joined us looking at the two disapprovingly.
"Ah Sorry heh." Rasticore says rubbing the back of his neck.
"Aww come on we were just having fun." Mayhem says, I can tell no one talks to Toffee the way she does.
"We've got things to do, Rasticore go and help the others set up camp Mayhem, come with me."
Rasticore leaves to attend his orders Toffee turns to me, he seemed frustrated.
"Carla, Follow us."
"Such a fun Killer..." Mayhem mumbles underneath her breath. I try to stay with them, we headed another direction away from the monster campsite.
"Mayhem get a horse."
"What?"
"You heard me." He growled.
"What the hell is up with you?"
Toffee didn't say anything he seemed to know he was a bit too aggressive at the moment.
Mayhem left quietly muttering, "how am I suppose to find a stupid horse"
When she was out of sight Toffee took a deep breath and went onwards. Not daring to say a word I follow behind him quietly. I could tell he was deep in thought and I only wondered. Why was he so mad, was it because of me?
"Sorry." He says sighing, "I just need things to be done." There was a long pause. I decided to say something, "....When you are a leader of such a large group, It's hard adjust to people you don't necessarily do things your way. But no one is exactly the same." I bit the inside of my cheek from saying anything else, why did I speak? I hate it when I do that...

Toffee's POV
My anger seemed to die down a little, I glanced at her after she spoke, she looked down avoiding eye contact. She really is the one Eclipsa told me about long ago. She told me that I would have help on the quest she sent me on by a wise, powerful woman. What puzzled me was that she looked young, and doesn't know anything about her own dimension or Eclipsa. She doesn't even know any detail of my mission.
"Your whole life was spent on survival in a forest?" I question still doubting she is the one Eclipsa spoke of.
"I was raised by monsters, but once I traveled to mewnie, I was branded as a dark witch...they killed my monster parents. Then they tried to kill me.... After that it was me verses nature."
I look out in the distance we moved farther away from Mewni than I expected.
"Not anymore, tomorrow you will start a new life, but tonight let's take a trip near the royal kingdom shall we?" I allowed myself to smile, she returned it then I could hear Mayhem in the distance, "I gave up and just went back to camp to get a horse that was already ours!"
Carla looked at her and laughed.
I sure hope this is the one Eclipsa had spoken about...
