Chapter 27: Memories

"What's you're name?" The young Robin asked as he looked at the young Camellia.

"Camellia... Though sometimes I liked to be called 'Emma'..."

"Emma. Well it's nice to meet you. I'm Richard. But you can call me Dick for short." young Robin said then young Camellia giggled.

"I like Richard better..." Camellia said politely then young Robin sighed.
"Fine. Your choice. So... What's a girl like you doing here...?"

"Well... Like all families... Coming to see the show."

"That's not what I mean... I know who you really are... Princess."

Robin gasped then looked at Camellia. He slowly stood up and held his head.
"So... She's a princess..."

"Obviously. That's one of the reasons why you like her." Thumper said as he was walking towards his master. Robin looked at the brown rabbit as he walked over to Camellia.

"Another reason for you to sneak out and see her... You were always sneaking out to see her every night, and I had to put up with it and follow you. Then... That one day..."

"...A doll...? That can protect me...?"

"Yeah. Thumper always protects me. Though, lately he's been acting up and I don't know why..."

"Maybe he doesn't like me...?" Camellia said then Robin held her hands.
"Hey... Thumper would love to serve you. And you're gonna love the Garden of Eden! It's such a cool place! Though I gotta warn ya... Don't go eating the fruit off this tree called the Tree of Knowledge."

"Why?" Camellia asked, following Robin as they approached a lake. Robin turned and held his hand out.
"Just trust me." Robin said then Camellia took his hand and smiled.

"That would explain why the contract broke... But answer me this, Thumper... Was it you who told me to eat the fruit...?" Robin asked then Thumper shook his head.

"Like the book... It wasn't me... It was- -!"

Thumper was suddenly cut off when something wrapped around Robin.

"Robin!"

"Heh heh heh... Missed me...?" A human that had the body of a snake asked then Robin chuckled.
"Phantom... How the hell did you got out of Emma's body...?"

"I should be thanking your little rabbit friend. He's the one who trapped me in the girl's body."

"Robin!" Camellia called his name then Robin turned and saw the girl.

"Emma..." Robin struggled then Klarion threw fire at Phantom. Thumper ran over to Camellia and she looked at the rabbit doll.
"Princess! Make the contract between me!"

"But Robin..."

"He'll be fine! Just make the contract!" Thumper said then he raised his paw up. Camellia quickly grabbed the paw then there was a bright light. Suddenly Camellia had brown rabbit ears on her head then she had a rabbit tail. Camellia suddenly whistled then Klarion heard dogs growling but he didn't see any of them.

"Hell hounds..." Klarion said then he quickly grabbed Robin and landed in the tree. Robin slowly opened his eyes then saw Camellia giggling at the Phantom. Her eyes glowed light blue then she held her hand.
"Get them, boys!" Camellia said then the dogs growled. Suddenly the Phantom's snake tail was ripped and once the human part of him was on the ground, the Hell hounds began to tear Phantom to shreds. Robin and Klarion began to held their mouths as they saw the Phantom dead. Camellia's eyes turned back to their normal color then she fell and Thumper landed on her back.
