"Meow?" Shadow meows and nudges Scarlet's face.
"…Go away…" Scarlet says half awake.
"Meow!" Shadow meows and bites Scarlet's nose.
"Storm!" Scarlet jerks up remembering his meow and then winces in pain.
"Meow?" Shadow purrs and lies down on the bed studying Scarlet.
"Where am I?" Scarlet says as her eyes adjust to the light. "My room?" Scarlet says getting up noticing the burns on her chest. "I'm guessing it wasn't all a dream…" Scarlet says leaning against her wall and cracking the door.
"Meow?" Shadow meows as if telling her it was no use.
"I see the nightmares… There must be hundreds or at least a lot…" Scarlet says and slips down against the cool wall.
"Neigh…" One of the guards neigh and hooves walk away.
"I don't think… I know what I can do!" Scarlet says grabbing Shadow and he squirms from the sudden movement. "I need you to distract them for a second then… then I can escape…" Scarlet catches her breathe and realizes that the burns must have got her worse than she thought.
"Meow!" Shadow jumps from her arms and claws one of the nightmares.
"Neigh!" The nightmare shakes its leg and tries to get Shadow off.
"Thanks…" Scarlet runs out the door and only gets a few feet before nightmares surround her.
"Let me through!" Scarlet yells and one of the nightmares that were touching her turn into dream sand.
"Neigh?" Some of the horses back up.
"That has never happened before…" Scarlet says to herself. "Let me through!"
"Neigh!" The horses back far up and look in fear of her.
"Go!" Scarlet reaches to some of the nightmares and they take off in fear.
"Meow!" Shadow runs over to Scarlet and hisses at the nightmare he had clawed.
"Go on!" Scarlet says walking through the nightmares as they back off and cower away from her.
"Ruff!" Sparky's bark echoes through the hall and the nightmares turn and run.
"Oh no…" Scarlet says as she gets against the wall and looks almost invisible because the dress wasn't on her anymore and only the hoodie and black slacks were on her.
"What is it?" Storm turns the corner and looks down the hall.
"Please don't see me…" Scarlet thinks to herself.
"Where are all the guards?" Storm says walking down the hall and passing by Scarlet.
"Thank father for this trait…" Scarlet says to herself and slides down the hall towards the exit.
"Ruff!" Sparky barks and looks up at Scarlet.
"Go…" Scarlet whispers to Sparky.
"Ruff!" Sparky runs down the hall after Storm.
"Thanks for being on my side…" Scarlet says softly knowing Sparky would hear and then goes towards the command room.
"I know that!" Pitch's voice shouts from the command room.
"Dang… He's in there." Scarlet thinks to herself and listens in hoping she would be able to find out something useful before sliding out.
"Emma is hurt and they haven't found that other girl… If they find her then my plan won't work… You!" Pitch points at one of the guards. "Go make sure the girl can't get discovered by one of them!"
"He must be talking about the other girl that is going to be a guardian…" Scarlet thinks slipping into the exit and climbs out.
"Meow?" Shadow meows and runs behind a tree.
"Good idea… We can find her and protect her from father…" Scarlet says getting behind the tree as the nightmare shoots out of the liar and flies towards a house in Burgess.
"Squeak!" Baby Tooth squeals behind Scarlet.
"Baby Tooth?" Scarlet turns around to see Baby Tooth and a few other tooth fairies flying around her, but none of the guardians. "Are you here to help me?" Scarlet asks knowing they were likely going to help her out of the liar.
"Squeak!" Baby Tooth squeaks then nods.
"I think we can find that other guardian… The one that was standing next to me in the crystal…"
"Meow!" Shadow meows flying in the air impatiently.
"If you are then follow us." Scarlet says starting to fly after Shadow and then notices that there was frost on the trees that weren't there before.
"Jack?" Scarlet says in a fearful voice of what he might do to her.
"Wrong person…" Emma says stepping out from the brush.
"Phew… If you were... Uh… You're not here to hurt me right?" Scarlet says remembering she had hurt Emma.
"Nope… I heal quickly, but Jack is way to overprotective… I also would like to find that girl… Same side I'm guessing?"
"We better hurry and make sure that nightmare wouldn't hurt her… I'd hate to have her get hurt for almost no reason…"
"Agreed…" Emma says and shoots off after Shadow with the Tooth fairies close behind.
"Wait up! I can't fly that fast!" Scarlet says trying to keep up with Emma.
"Would you like some help?" Emma says flying back to Scarlet and grabbing her by the side.
"Yes… Ow! Don't touch me there!" Scarlet says pushing away from Emma.
"Did I burn you?" Emma says knowing she had her air powers on.
"Storm shot me… Good times… Good times..." Scarlet says sarcastically.
"Here… I can heal it…" Emma puts her hand on Scarlet's side and her hand starts to glow pink. "Better?" Emma asks taking her hand off her side.
"It feels great! Thanks!" Scarlet says looking at Emma happily. "Now let's go help that girl!" Scarlet says tugging on Emma's hoodie.
"You're choice!" Emma says grabbing Scarlet and shooting off at sonic speed after Shadow. "Just hold on!" Emma says laughing as Scarlet grabs her like when they first flew together.
"Thanks for the advice!" Scarlet says sarcastically.
"You're welcome!"
