Left with Two Petals
Chapter Eight: It Isn't a Nightmare After All
Without hearing another word, Rose ran back to her room, leaving the Huntsman utterly clueless.
No. No! This can't be! Rose shouted in her head. Jake!
As she burst into her room, the first thing she noticed was missing… was the music box.
Cliff.

Jake landed with a loud thud on the ground. (Ouch!) He could barely move anymore. He was so tired, so weak.
Then, Cliff landed lightly beside him. Not a scratch on him.
"Okay, dragon!" he exclaimed. "You're mine!"
It's too late. Jake couldn't do it anymore. He was going to give up.
Cliff faced his palm up towards the sky. Then, Rose's music box appeared in his hand.
Jake looked up and saw it. "Hey, isn't that… Rose's?"
"No," Cliff grinned. "It's mine."
"What? But you gave it to her!" Jake paused. "Unless… there's something special about that music box…"
Cliff grin's grew wider. "Yes, there is. It captures the souls of those who listen to its song."
"So, that means… you have Rose's soul…"
"Yes," Cliff's hand moved slowly toward the box's cover. "Say good-bye, Jake."
He was just about to open it, when…
A dark shadow swooped down and snatched the music box out of his hands.
"Rose?" Cliff was dismayed.
"H-How?" Cliff choked. "You're supposed to be back at the Huntsclan where I left you!"
"Not without dealing with you first!"
Suddenly, Rose opened the box and beams of white light burst everywhere!
"Rose! Noooo!!!" Cliff shouted as he ran towards her.
Rose stood still, holding the music wide open, swallowing up Cliff as he ran forth towards her, and it.
"Jake!" were the last words Rose said.
Suddenly, everything turned a blurry white light.
This is the penultimate chapter. Meaning the second to last. Then, lastly, the Epilogue. I'm so excited! This will be the second story I've finished. Isn't it sad when books end? You just want it to keep on going and going. But, an writer has to do what a writer has to do. End it. Well, I hope you'll enjoy my last chapter for this story. I really appreciate those who've been reading "Left with Two Petals."
