Echoes of Nobody: The Point of No Return (An Ever After High Crossover Story)

Onward!

-Apple is seen in total darkness, keeping her head down-

Apple: How could have I been such a fool... to fall for that trick by Casta... Am I truly that hopeless...?

-Apple feels an icy cold hand against her shoulder. Raising her head up, she turns around to see a duplicate of herself. But something seemed off, this duplicate looked more menacing, with hatred in her eyes. -

Apple Duplicate: You wouldn't be in this state if it wasn't for him leaving you

Apple: What does that have to do with this?

Apple Duplicate: Think of it, he vowed to protect you since the day you two met, and look where that's lead you to. A world filled with complete darkness surrounding what left in that golden heart of yours. If he couldn't protect you, what makes you think he's going to protect your precious 'Bonfire Crew'?

Apple: You are wrong! Kyle is coming for me! And he's not going to let Casta hurt any of them!

Apple Duplicate: Then why don't you ask him yourself?

-The duplicate of herself faded into the darkness. -

? (Kyle): Apple...

-Apple quickly raises up to that familiar tone. She looks straight ahead but her vision was blurred out from the darkness. After a bit of focus, her vision finally clears to reveal Kyle. Not believing her eyes, she holds her arm out to him as Kyle gave her a welcomed smile, taking slow steps. Holding out his arms, with tears forming, she rubs her eyes as her walking accelerated into running. Closer and closer it seemed like ages since she last felt his warm embrace. Kyle, still smiling slowly let his arms down as Apple was only a few feet away. Apple threw her arms around him, ready for a reunion, but Kyle's warm smile disappeared as he faded into the darkness. Driven with despair, Apple slams both her hands on the sides of her head, going mental as she screams in agony. -

-Meanwhile with Kyle and the Bonfire Crew-

Kyle: If I'm correct, I think there's a secret passage way the leads into the lower castle halls

Pocky: How do you know this? I would have thought that you weren't allowed here.

Kyle: Apple and I used to meet here when we didn't want anyone to know about us.

Winterz: -Gasp- Kyle! You naughty boy!

Kyle: What? No! Not like that!

Nash: I see, trying to keep up with that good noodle status, unlike Pocky...

Pocky: F*ck you Nash!

-Nash chuckled as Kyle placed his hand over a certain brick to make the secret passageway open up to them-

Kyle: Let's go, but stay quiet. Think I can trust you all to do that?

-They all nod as they follow behind him the dark, forgotten hallways of the castle-

Winterz: This place gives me the creeps....

Kyle: We need to stay focused no matter how much this place creeps us out

Nash: Shouldn't we be looking out for any traps or something like that?

Kyle: There's no traps here. We just gotta keep quiet so the sounds wont echo through the halls

Pocky: Is that so?

Kyle: Exactly

Pocky: Then why is Winterz trapped?

Kyle: What?

-They all turn to see Winterz trapped in a huge spiderweb-

Ziizaa: You always manage to get stuck somehow
