Alex was enjoying some tea and muffins.

"Wow, Martha. This is delicious." she complimented with her mouth full.

Martha frowned. "Don't talk with your mouth full, Alexandra."

Alex suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. Swallowing her food, she repeated "This is delicious."

Martha smiled "Try some tea, dearie."

"Sure." Alex took a sip. Suddenly struck by sleepiness, she said "Wow, I'm more tired than I thought." She fell asleep.

Martha watched her sleep and laughed softly "This is great. Everything's going according to plan. The master will be happy." She got up and walked out, leaving Alex snoring.

"Alex!?" Clover called out again, getting desperate. "Sammy, I'm tired. Let's take a break." She sat down, out of breath.

Sam sighed "Clover, we have to find Alex. And you just had a break 10 minutes ago."

"Please, Sammy?" Clover shot her a sad puppy dog look.

Sam gave in. "Fine, but not for long."

Clover perked up "Thank you."

Sam rolled her eyes and sat down. The ground under them gave way, and they fell down.

"Not again!" Clover exclaimed.

Adam was running through the forest, looking for Alex. "Alex!" he yelled out. He reached a clearing in which a house was in.

"That's weird. A house in a forest." he thought, walking in. "Hello? Is anyone here?" he called out. Walking into the kitchen, he gasped.

Alex was passed out on the floor, tea spilled around her. He thought the worst and ran over. "Alex! Wake up!" he held her to his chest. "You can't be dead! You just can't!" he cried.

"Adam?" she called out softly.

He opened his eyes and backed up. "Alex, you're alive. Thank god. I am sooo sorry." he hugged her.

"What for?" she asked.

"For everything, being evil, letting you fall, not finding you sooner..." Before he could go on, Alex's lips touched his. They had their first kiss and Alex saw fireworks.

When they pulled back, Adam was wide-eyed "Wow."

Alex giggled and smiled "I guess you liked it."

Adam smiled and looked down at her. "Most definitely. In fact, can we have an encore?"

Alex pretended to think for a moment "I'm not too sure. Do you think you can do any better?"

Adam had a devilish gleam in his eyes. Dipping her movie star style, he kissed her. When they pulled up, Alex was in a daze "Wow."

"So, did I live up to your expectations?"

Alex nodded, still grinning. Then she stopped and gasped "Oh my god. I have to find my friends!"

Adam got up with her. "Where are they?"

"I don't know. What if they're hurt? I don't know what I would do." Alex was close to tears.

Adam held her to him "Shhh, it'll be all right. We'll find them together." he soothed her.

Alex looked up and sniffed "Really?"

Adam smiled "Really. Now let's go." He grabbed her hand and they walked toward the door. But Martha was standing in front of it.

"Alexandra, where are you going?" she asked, overly sweetly.

"Sorry, Martha. But we're going to find my friends."

Martha's smile was plastered on "But they're here."

Alex frowned "No they're not. Don't lie. Thank you for all your help, but we must be going." Alex and Adam moved toward the door. But Martha blocked them, her smile gone.

"You're not going anywhere." she growled.

Adam stood in front of Alex and said "Excuse us, Martha. But please move."

Martha stuck out her hand and a staff appeared in it. The couple was in awe. "With this staff, I'm unbeatable."

"You really think so?" Alex said. "We'll see about that!" She charged toward Martha.

"Sorry, Alex. But it's time for you to die!" She was ready to attack.

I know, cliffhanger. But i have to study, blah! Pleaz RR
