Chapter 6
The Lake of Greenness.
Liliana's pov
I didn't hear from Bella and Aaron in such a long time… Ladybug and Cat Noir are too busy to help Olivia and I. Olivia seems more tired than usual. When I ask her what's wrong, she ignores me. We lost the Miracle Box, we lost Aaron and Bella… We lost everything. It is my fault! The figure didn't show up in so long. I can't sleep well because I know he is still out there, doing terrible things. I think Olivia is ghosting me because of that. There were villains in Paris every day, and it made me think of the times California was full of bad guys. I hope Aaron and Bella are alive. Who knows what dark dimension they are in. When I fell asleep, I heard a loud alarm. I thought it was my phone alarm. I tried to close it, but it wasn't my phone… It was heard in all Paris. I got up and looked outside. People were running and panicking. I didn't understand what was going on. I went downstairs in my pyjamas. I don't have time to change! Olivia followed me, worried. We got out of the hotel. I asked someone what was happening.
''A huge portal opened in the sky!"
''What is that supposed to mean?!"
I looked up and saw something that looked like a mirror. It isn't a portal! I saw the figure in the mirror.
''This is a message for Liliana and Olivia. If you don't stop bothering me, I will kill you.''
Kill us?! We have to get back the Miracle Box! I still have my miraculous. He can't make the wish. Aaron got teleported to the other dimension along with his miraculous. That is what matters. I entered the room and covered myself in blankets.
''Don't be so scared, he isn't going to kill us!"
''He is, like he killed that guardian!" I yelled.
I don't want to be a part of this anymore, but I have to save Aaron and Bella. The Miracle Box can't be his. Anyone but him. I started praying. I am so scared right now.
Mia's pov (The girl knight)
I can't believe I have to escape with that girl. I offered to save them, but I regret it now. Who does she think she is?! I hate Bella! Aaron is going to be my boyfriend, and their relationship won't stop me. I think they broke up anyway. My plan to hit Bella ''by mistake'' didn't go as planned. I am so mad. I bet the king is searching for us already. When Bella stepped in mud, she accidentally jumped in the Lake of Greenness. I forgot to warn them about this lake. It looked like green mud, but it was like a normal lake. She fell in it. It is very hard to get out. Aaron and Raven tried to save her, but they fell too. The lake is very sticky so they got stuck.
''Mia! Help us!" shouted Raven.
''Mia!"
They cried my name. I stood there, staring at them. I didn't want to help Bella and Raven, but I knew that if I help Aaron Bella and Raven will also be saved. I will find Aaron later, and if he dies, I will be sad, but only that.
''You can do it without me. Bye bye, guys!''
I walked away. I left them there, screaming for help. I don't need them anyway. If Bella hadn't stopped my relationship with Aaron, I would have saved them, but she did. I will return to the castle and pretend like nothing happened. The lake will kill them anyway.
Bella's pov
I felt like I couldn't speak anymore. The Lake of Greenness was absorbing us in it. We didn't have any chance to survive. In the last seconds I could see, I noticed some leaves were moving. I assumed it was another black bear. I heard Aaron shout: ''Save us, please!''
At first I thought he was shouting for Mia to save us, but I felt a hand pulling me out from the sand. Aaron and I looked at the girl who saved our lives. We couldn't stop thanking her. She ran to save Raven. The girl could barely see Raven. Aaron and I started crying, like she died already, but Raven's hand still wasn't absorbed by the lake. The girl pulled as hard as she could, and she managed to save Raven. Raven chocked. She still had mud in her mouth. We were on our knees, thanking her.
''Stop that! It wasn't so hard for me to save you! I am Adison by the way. Who are you and what's your story?''
We tried to explain, and she understood quickly.
''I heard about you. I am not one of the knights, don't worry. Rule 1, don't trust the knights, even if they are the nicest on earth. If they don't need you anymore, they will let you down at your lowest, like the girl knight did to you.''
''You're right…'' said Aaron.
I turned to Aaron and said:
''I think we have to talk about our relationship…'' I suggested.
''I swear I don't like Mia! She took my hand first! Before I got to let go, you looked at us!''
''Don't worry… I believe you… I know Mia was evil. She only 'saved' us because she wanted to get in a relationship with you.''
Aaron and I hugged. Raven joined us. Adison didn't know if she should be a part of the group hug, but I grabbed her hand and she understood I want her to hug with us. She saved our lives though. After the hug, we got serious.
''We have to get something to eat and drink, I am really hungry and thirsty.'' I said.
The group agreed.
''I have a secret place with a lake and some food.''
''Can we… can we come?'' asked Aaron, slyly.
''Of course you can! We can sleep there tonight. Tomorrow we will think of a plan.'' Said Adison.
We followed Adison to her hiding spot. It wasn't far away. She heard our screams when she was there, sleeping. When we arrived, I was surprised. It was a cave, with a lot of meat, and a clear lake beside it.
''This is the best hiding spot ever.'' Said Raven.
''Thank you!''
We sat down and Adison offered us some meat. I ate all the meat I was given in 5 minutes. I was so hungry I couldn't see straight. Adison leaded us to the lake. I touched the transparent clear water. I took some in my hands and drank it. I love this water! It's really good! Or maybe I think that because I didn't drink water for a day. I don't know which one it is. When I walked back to the cave, I fell asleep right away. I think the others did the same. Not even a nuclear bomb could wake me up. We've been through so much. The group deserves a break. When we wake up tomorrow, we can think of a plan. We have to get out of here as soon as possible. I miss my family, friends and my life. I was complaining when some villains attacked the town and I had to save it, but at least I was with my family, attended school, I had the beautiful friendship with Liliana and Aaron and so much more. I could eat and drink when I wanted to. I didn't realise until now the life I lived back then was the best.
End of chapter.
Dear Calico, I can answer all your questions.
1. Bella's power didn't work then because she couldn't focus to use them. The powers only work when you focus.
2. He fainted because of fear.
3. Bearzy's kwami, it's a nickname.
4. No, only with her miraculous.
5. They are in the other dimension. As you know, Aaron and Bella got separated from the group through a portal.
6. The king didn't jump through the window. The girl knight was sorry for Raven, Bella and Aaron, so she helped them escape.
Dear Magicofthesun, I am sorry I made you and Calico confused. I didn't realise chapters 3 and 4 were really confusing. I will try to rewrite them so you can understand better. I will answer your questions too.
1. As I said earlier, the king didn't break the window, the girl knight did to help Raven, Aaron and Bella.
2. They didn't get hurt because they kept a distance between them and the window.
3. Yes, the king has guards.
I am sorry again you didn't understand properly. I will see what I can do. If you are reading this, it means I already rewrote the chapters. I changed some sentences and made them clearer. You can read them again if you want :)
