Chapter 22: Fire Goddess Part 1
The crystal palace was deathly quiet. In Rachel's room sat her and Laura.
"First Amanda, then Marron." Laura said saddly.
"Yeah, its as if we are being targeted." Rachel said. "Its too coincadental that the only monster attack happens when we leave the saftey of the castle."
"I think you're right." Laura said thoughtfully. "By the way, where is Rose?"
"Well, she locked herself in her room again, as you know."
"Yeah, remember at her last birthday party, she looked ready to cry right into her cake."
"Yes, well," Rachel replied. "None of us was in a celebrating mood."
"True."
"Well. She was in her room sobbing, when guess who shows up?"
"Who?"
"Robert! He came over and said he wanted to talk to the princess, he said he wanted to try and cheer her up."
"And?"
"And, he and her went for a walk in the park."
"Alone?"
"Yeah," Rachel shrugged her shoulders. "He would never cause the princess any harm."
********************************************************************************
Rose and Robert walked a little ways into the rose garden. Past the place where, almost six years ago, she made that wish on a shooting star. Glancing at the spot where she stood, Rose began sobbing. Seeing Rose's newfound tears, Robert took her arm and led her to a nearby bench. After sitting, Rose hugged Robert's neck, using his shoulder to cry on. Seeing this, Robert brought his arms around her and rubbed her back.
"Shh," He whispered in her ear. "It will all be over soon."
********************************************************************************
Rachel jerked her head up suddenly.
"What's wrong, Rachel?" Laura asked her.
"I don't know, I think I just had a premonition. I can't be sure because I haven't gotten that far in my training as a priestess yet."
"Is something going to happen?"
"I can't tell, but I can try to do a fire-reading just to be sure."
"Good idea."
********************************************************************************
Rose calmed herself down enough to pull away from Robert's embrace. "You must think me a coward."
Robert looked at her curiously. "Why do you say that?"
Rose set her eyes down. "Because I abandoned them. Mercury, Venus, they depended on me, and I let them down."
Robert closed his eyes. "Maybe that couldn't be helped."
Rose looked at him, "What do you mean?"
Robert opened his eyes and looked at her meaningfully. "Maybe you weren't meant for this, maybe this wasn't supposed to be your destiny."
Rose looked at him awestruck. 'Maybe he's right, I mean, if I couldn't protect my closest friends, what makes me think I can protect this planet?'
Rose's eyes teared up, "No."
"Huh?"
"No, I abandoned my friends once, I might not be meant for this, but I got Amanda and Marron into this mess, and I am going to get them out of it. Somehow.." She began sobbing, falling once again into Robert's outstretched arms.
"Don't worry," he said soothingly. "I know you'll see them again."
********************************************************************************
Laura sat behind Rachel in front of the scared fire. 'Wow,' She thought, 'shes been like that for almost an hour, I wonder if she's alright.' She moved her hand to shake the meditating girl. Her hand was mere inches from her shoulder when...
"OH NO!!" Rachel jumped from her place in front of the fire.
Laura jumped a full three feet backwards after Rachel's sudden outburst.
"What's wrong?!" Laura said climbing to her feet.
Rachel turned to her friend with fear in her eyes. "We have to find the princess, NOW!"

A/N Okay, thats another chapter down. The time is now 11:35pm, and I have kept my promise!! (I know its still bad) But I know I will do better tomorrow!! Till then! Oh, yea, reviews are still welcome!!
Oh, and another thing, in every chapter, I think I will ask little triva questions, giving clues until someone gets it right, I think it will be fun! Oh, well, if it doesn't work this time, I'll know better. Anyway, here's this trivia question:
When is Rose's birthday?
Hint: It is after the date given for Hotaru's. (from the tv show)
To rsd: As always, thanx for that great review!
To MoonGirl: Thanx for your review, I don't know why I let bad reviews get to me, thanx for setting me straight.
