I'm working hard to get up as many chapters as possible, so thanks everyone for waiting!
Second chapter
Enjoy!
On the ship everyone is restless to get to Lynfea
"Why couldn't we have used Speedix? It would've been much faster!" Srella taps her foot impatiently
"You remember what Flora said. We might not leave that forest in good condition. At least we'll have a ship instead of depending on our wings if we are injured." Bloom says
"I guess you're right" Stella sits down
"Almost there guys" says Timmy
"Girls, keep our positive energy! Remember, no negativity" Bloom faces the others. In less than ten minutes they reach the planet of vivacious plants. The ship lands in the middle of an open field leading to the enterance of the forest.
"So this is the Vivetor Forest" says Timmy
"The Plutonia Flower is located at the center of it" Says Tecna
"Are we ready?" asks Sky
"Let's do this" says Bloom
Everyone takes cautious steps through the tall grasses of the forest. The view looks too nice to be dangerous, but you never know. Looks can be deceiving.
"It smells wonderful! Reminds me of the flower shop back in Gardenia!" smiles Bloom
"It's very nice!" says Stella who was never fond of wilderness
Just than Cora steps on a vine that wraps arpund her leg and pulls her upside down.
"Ahhhh!" she was dangling at least ten feet off the ground
"Cora!" Jake runs to her when he is taken up by a vine too
"Guys!" Riven takes a few steps
"No! Nobody move!" Layla yells
"But-" starts Brandon
"If we move, we'll be like them!" Layla points to Cora and Jake
"Than what do we do?! Transform?!" Stella asks
"No need wasting our energy over something we can climb on!" Layla says
"Climb on?" asks Musa
"Yeah, in situations like this, we climb" Layla points up to trees
"Huh?" Sky looks around when Layla jumps and grabs a low tree branch. She swings from branch to branch until she reaches the end of the path
"C'mon! It's fun!" Layla waves. Everyone follows her moves and slowly swing there way to Layla's location. Jake cut himself and Cora free and they meet up with the rest of the group
"First obstacle averted! Now I've got leaves in my hair!" complains Stella
"At least you didn't get blood rushing to you're head being upside down" Cora says shaking her head
"Both of you will be fine let's focus on what's ahead of us!" says Bloom pointing to the many paths ahead of us
"Maybe we should split up? See where they lead?" suggests Brandon
"I don't know" says Bloom
"It's better than flipping a coin and choosing one way to go, we'll cover land more quickly" says Cora
"Fine, split up." Bloom decides
"Okay, boyfriend with girlfriend! I get Layla!" Cora through one arm in Jakes and her other arm around Layla's
They all part ways, not knowing that the obstacles that lie ahead can either benefit or destroy their lives as theyknow them
Lets start with Cora, Layla, and Jake
Cora POV
"I have a bad feeling about this" I say
"Just keep you're eyes open" says Layla
"You'll be fine" Jake takes my hand
They continue walking until they reach an open field of fresh geen grass surrounded by trees. There was no path leading out.
"Are we looking for something?" asks Jake. We walk to the center and look around
"I don't see another path" says Layla
"Keep looking" I walk away and look around the trees.
"Hey!" the ground breaks before me and I fall into a dark river. I swim and kick as hard as I can but I'm pulled farther under water when I realized something
It was pitch black, I hated the dark
"Help!" I yell only for no one to hear me
"I look around me helplessly and find something wrapped around my legs. It was some type of rough weed pulling me. I think about what Flora said about staying strong, I summon up all my energy and
"Mars Dust!" I throw a red ball of shimmering light at the plant and watch it dry up and shrivel away. I pull free and starts wimping towards the surface that breaks into light when I reach it.
"Cora?! Are you alright?" Jake was holding me when I come to. I felt dizzy and lightheaded and there were beads of sweat rolling down my forehead.
"Wh-what happened?" I gasp
"I pulled you out of that pit" he points to the hole I fell in
"You okay?" He asks as I sit up
"Yeah, I just need to catch my breath and-" I look around the field, something was missing
"And what?" he asks
"Where's Layla?" I turn around
Layla POV
"Guys? Cora? Jake?" where'd they go? I walk around and circle the field. Then I hear a voice in my head
"Layla? Are you alone?" it was coming from above me, when I look up, black clouds begin to form
"Hello?" I yell
"Oh Layla, you'll be forever alone" it said again
"Alone? What does that mean?" I hated being alone
"It means you will be all by yourself forever. Everyone you care about will be taken away from you. Some already have.."
"No! No! That's not true!" I yell
"Yes it is, you know it is!" the voice gets louder
"No!" I crouch down and cover my ears, but I can still hear them
"Layla?" that voice sounded familiar
"Cora? Cora is that you?!" I get up and start running in the direction of her voice
"Of course it's me. When will you ever understand?!" she replies
"Please help me Cora!" I yell
"Hah! You know I can't do that! Don't you know? You're all one you're own, from now until forever!" he voice turns into a hiss
"No! Please!"
"Layla, Layla, Layla. You never understood us. You so critical about everything, even boys. Who would want to be friends with you?!" it was Musa's voice
"Musa?" I look around
"You have no friends, everyone hates you!" now it was a mix of voices, turning into hisses and growls
"Stop! Stop!" I trip and fall. I could vision all of my friends making fun and mocking me
"Please..." I close my eyes and cover my face, but I still heard and saw them
"Layla" a calm and relaxed voice sticks out from all the others
"Nabu?" I lift my head
"Hey honey, don't cry" I hear
"I'm all alone" I look down
"You're neveone alone. No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you my love" he says
"Stay strong Layla..." his voice begins to fade
"Wait! Nabu!" his voice fades leaving me in darkness but it was quiet, sweet silence.
"I'm never alone, I'm never alone" I repeat to myself lustering all my energy
"LAYLA BELIEVIX!" I transform at put a light in this darkness
"Morphix Energy!" I break this dark spell and start flying up when I reach the top there is a bright flash
"Huh?" I open myyYes and squint at the sun
"Layla!" I sit up and see Cora and Jake running towards me, Cora was limping
"You okay? What happened?" Jake kneels in front of me
"I'm fine, what happened to you?" I look at Cora
"I fell, but I'm fine" she leans on Jakes shoulder
"Look a new path!" I point past them at the the trees splitting
"Well I suggest we take it" we get up and start walking down the new route knowing we passed our challenge.
Next up, Musa and Riven
Riven POV
We walk for about ten minutes until we reach a tunnel made of what looks like thick vines
"Well this is different" I say
"Does it look like they're closing in on us?" asks Musa
"Nah, it's just a illusion. Just keep walking forward" I look straight ahead
"Right" she says
We continue walking when I suddenly see movement above us
"Wait!" I put my hand put and look around
"What?" the vines stopped moving
"I don't know, maybe I-"
"Ahhhhhh!" a vine wraps around Muses waist and pullsahem against the wall
"Musa!" I run and pull the vines, but they're too tight
"Riven, do something, they're tight!"
"I can't cut them! I might hurt you!" I yell
"Behind you!" I turn around and see more vines coming towards us. I take out my phantoblade and start slashing them, but they just regrow
"Ahhhh!" I hear Musa behind me
"You think you're too afraid to admit it, but maybe it's because you just can't" a voice begins talking. I turn around and see Musa still struggling
"You know she won't wait forever. She'll move on and leave you like you're mother" it got louder and dug into my brain life a knife
"No, that's not true!" I yell
"You know it is. No matter how hard you try, you can't deny it. You're too afraid to lose anything you love, and you will lose her!"
"No, she won't" I drop down on my knees
"How naive..."
Musa POV
"Riven? What are you yelling at?" the vines were taking away room to breath. He was on his knees unaware of the vines circling around him
"Riven!" I yell when a vine pulls up behind him getting ready to attack him, but he doesn't notice
"Riven, look out! MUSA BELIEVIX!" it takes a lot of energy to transform, but I manage to do it
"Sonic Scream!" I break the vines around me and fly towards Riven
"Riven!" I fly behind him and let the vine take me instead. But this vine was different, it was stronger, much stronger.
"Huh?" he snaps back into reality
"Help..." I mumble before everything goes dark
Musa POV
"Musa?" I take her cheek. I turn around and start hearing those voices again
"See? You're gonna lose her if you don't do something about it"
"Do something about it" the voice repeats itself over and over
"Shut up!" I swing my sword around
"She'll leave you"
"No she won't!" I hold my ground
"How do you know?"
"Because she loves me!"
