The Maze of Trees(OLD)

Chapter 12

I felt myself lying on the damp grass. I looked down and was relieved to see my human body, with its weird raccoon parts and Flo's petals draping my arm. At first no noise was around except whitenoise. Then, as the whitenoise faded away, shouts of relief, joy, and disbelief filled my ears as I sat up to be greeted by a million faces. Trevor and Emily were actually crying, Bendis was laughing, and Darion and the rest of the jocks just looked shocked. The other people, Perdita, Lyssa, Von, and Phobos all helped me up first, all of them crying.
    "You saved us!" Perdita cried, clinging onto my stomach in a tight hug. I hugged her back and smiled happily at the others, who all surrounded me in thank yous and hugs and tears.
    "Don't you dare ever do that again!" Trevor ran up, hugging me.
I laughed and hugged back as I turned to the door. Beyond it, stood a shocked Ms. Jinx, who apparently wasn't expecting anyone to leave. Lefu, Trevor, everyone one of the other Found people, and I growled and powered up, our glowing forms surrounding the fat woman.
    "W-well! It looks l-like you all won!" Ms. Jinx stuttered, her voice trembling.
Lefu let out a snarl and Ms. Jinx ran away, and as soon as her form disappeared, so did the forest behind us. We looked back to see small pools of ash where others must have died. The few survivors looked shocked but didn't complain as they ran away, trying to get to the nearest phone so they could call their families.
    "Wait. Where's Abella?" Leo asked, glancing at the remaining scared teens and kids.
I looked around, before seeing another Guide Keeper staring at us sadly, one of the girls who had been in Abella's team. Trevor and I ran up, but before we could ask, the girl shook her head.
    "Her ash is over there, but she was a good teammate. I'm sorry."
We ran over to the ash pile the girl had mentioned and started crying.
Can we bury their ashes? I asked Flo, even my thoughts sounding tearful.
Yes. She responded, and instantly, a small pit formed underneath every pile of ash, causing it to sink down. They were instantly covered with dirt, and flowers bloomed over the graves, and vines soared above them like walls, so their graves wouldn't be disturbed.
