Rose had gotten out of the tub and drained the water. She covered her body in one of the towels and used the other to wrap around her hair. As she dried herself off she inspected the dress.

The dress was a golden yellow with short sleeves. The collar was round and was right above her chest, and there were riffles at the bottom. Right next to the dress that was sitting on the counter, was a white bra and underwear. Once she had gotten dressed, the dress went down to her knees. And it was then that Rose noticed the pair of dark brown slippers on the floor.

Rose stepped outside the bathroom, now feeling clean and refreshed. But now, she was feeling hungry. She knew she was in someone's domain, and she would feel like it might be rude to ask for food. Rose turned right and went down the hallway. Once she reached the end she turned left and found herself in some sort of cabin.

*Crash*

The sudden sound of glass shattering made Rose jump, as she saw Caden and Dusty tumble off a table, arms locked!

"Rotten lower species!" Shouted Dusty as he bashed Cadens head down on the floor.

"I got more class than you! You crooked-nosed knave!" Yelled Caden as head-butted Dusty. Which only made Dusty stumble off the Illager. Dusty threw a punch to the left side of Cadens neck, which in turn made Caden give a hard kick to Dustys face! Dusty stood up covering his bleeding nose with one hand. He used the other to pull out a knife on the table. He pointed it to Caden, who was also standing to his feet. The two let out a yell as they charged at each other! Both butted heads! Dusty swung the knife to Cadens neck but Caden grabbed him by the wrist! Suddenly, a lasso appeared, and tied around Caden and pulled him away!

Dusty, Caden, and Rose all looked to see Amber, the lasso rope in both her hands. She gave a stern look at all three, everyone was still.

"What in the fire of hell is going on here?!"

She asked, in answer, Dusty slammed the knife on the table and pointed to Caden.

"It's that damn Illager!" He retorted. "He is responsible for all of this! He is a liar- a fraud! He's not what he told-"

"Dusty!" Amber snapped, making her way towards him, letting go of the lasso rope. Rose snapped back into reality. She quickly went to Caden and tried untying the rope. Listening to Amber speak to Dusty.

"Look, I know Its all absolutely insane. But now is not the time to be discussing this. I know Villager and Illagers have your, differences, but it won't be long. Come on, let's get you washed up. Then we can all have dinner."

Dusty scoffed, "I've lost my appetite."

The two left the room, leaving Rose and Caden. Rose successfully untyed Caden, who wiped away blood that was dripping on his chin from his mouth.

"Oh my god Caden! What happened? Why did you two fight?"

Caden looked to her, and then looked to the knife on the table

"It was gonna happen," He said. "Illagers and Villagers hate each other. I'll explain later."

"But Caden," Said Rose. "We're in a safe place now. We're going to get help, there's no reason to fight."

Caden shrugged, "Fighting is literally in my blood." He then glanced at her, giving a small smile. "You smell like cake."

On Amber and Dustys side of view. Both were in a laboratory. In it was a book shelf, a table, shelves with glass bottles containing different liquids. And then, there was a closed portal. Dusty sat on a chair, cleaning the blood off his face.

"What are we gonna do Amber? This is serious." Dusty said, not giving Amber eye contact.

"What do you mean? The Illager? Or the strange occurrences?" Asker Amber.

"Both. Have you been able to contact Sector One?"

"All lines are down. We're blind. The only way through anywhere is by foot, or portal. "

Dusty glanced at the portal, which was now collecting dust.

"I swore I would never set foot into another portal again." He mumbled.

Amber sighed, and said. "That one leads to Sector Ten. Believe it or not."

Dusty looked to her in utter surprise.

"Nathan? Oh man, I forgot all about him!"

Amber gave a small smile. "Yeah, I can't remember the last time I spoke to him. Anyway, I he's our best shot to helping Caden and Rose."

"What?!"

"We can't help them!" Amber snapped. "We can barely handle ourselves at the moment. With all these strange changes happening, the last thing we want is to drag them in this too. But Nathan can. He knows more about the globe, and magic than any other. I already sent him a message, telling him about the situation and that they need his help. There is nothing he can't do. Remember?"

"What about Rose and Caden? She doesn't know hes a bloodthirsty demon!"

Amber sighed, "If he wanted to hurt her. He would have already done so. But there is something in him that tells me he is tame. That's why I'm leaving it to him to tell her. Oh look at the time, we best get ready for dinner."

Without another word, the two quickly left the room. But little did they know, that a pair of teal eyes watched them leave.
