So the last chapter was kind of short, and I apologize for that.

Jack: Really? You're slacking. You don't even talk to us anymore.

Me: Bc the readers want to hear about the story, not you.

Jack: But I'm in the story…

"Are we lost again?"

"No. But the castle doesn't exactly have any maps posted anywhere, so it'll take awhile to find her," Jack stated. "It might take hours, maybe even days-"

"I found her!" Scarlett exclaimed as she walked over the the door labeled 'Resting Place of Snow Queen'. "The door's locked though."

Jack sighed. He wasn't having any luck on this mission. He got up and went to help jimmy the lock. But then he saw it was an electric lock. "You're up, Ash."

Ash walked over and started hacking into the system (you will not understand how she does this unless you've read Bunny's Springflower). After a few minutes, a bbrriinngg was heard and the lock fell the the ground and the door opened.

While the castle was made of ice, the room was fresh fallen snow, mirrors surrounding a statue made of stone. It was Sambala, dressed in a long flowy dress, with hair that reached the floor, and her face frozen in terror.

Scarlett walked over and pressed a hand against Sambala's face while grasping her locket. As the others walked into the room, Scarlett turned to them with a frown,

"She's conscious. She says she's been here for over three hundred years, thanks to...Cerelia." Scarlett and Jack locked eyes. She'd caused them a lot of grief. But they never thought she'd hurt anyone else.

"Um, who's that?" River asked. Ash shrugged before she began to wrap the statue with green vines and leaves. "What are you doing?"

"Transporting her to Mother's garden, obviously," Ash replied. River rolled his eyes before he spotted something.

"Um, do you guys see that?" River back away nervously. The others turned to look at the corner of the room, where they saw red glowing eyes that seemed to float. 'They float. They all float down here.' Sorry, couldn't resist. Let me know if you know the quote.

"Yes...what is it?" Scarlett may have seen a lot of strange (and magical) stuff but, as the others didn't seem to know what was going on, she was still pretty freaked out. Especially when the snake the eyes were attached to appeared and lunged toward her.

"Look out!" Jack shouted. He couldn't move fast enough, only able to watch as a snake flew towards his girlfriend.

Scarlett raised an arm, though she knew it wouldn't help. She shut her eyes and waited to feel the force of the snake push her back. But that never happened. She opened her eyes to find that the snake was gone, and a golden shield had surrounded her.

"Thanks," Ash grumbled. Scarlett turned to see that ash (not the person) was covering the other Seasonals. "You just had to disintegrate the snake, didn't you."

"Since when can you do that?" Jack asked. Scarlett shrugged. "We'll deal with that later. But we should go, before something else happens."

"Too late."

AN: DUH! DUH! DUH!
