Dedicated to all my silent readers! Today I can proudly present you

The last chapter of this book! The next book of this series will be entitled "The Mysterious Girl" by yours truly. 

Previously with May's Group

"B-B-But what does that means?" I stuttered. All of us who had weapons drew them out and got into the circle, with the non-weapon people in the circle.

"Guess you found us huh?"A female voice said. It was a familiar one. A girl landed beside us with a smirk, Misty's eyes widen when she realized who it was. I was too busy to notice. My whole focus was on the shadow behind her that revealed herself.

"Iris!"Misty said

"Clare" I growled

I was taken back the moment Misty said that name, all I know is the fact that Iris was Misty's Sibling back in her past. Her parents died in an accident, and Iris and Misty took care of themselves. Something happened between them, their house was set on fire. Her sister was brainwashed by some friend of hers. That's when we came into the scene and saved her. I looked at Misty whose hair was casting a shadow on her face. I could sense it, she was sad about her past.

I looked at Clare as I growled. She was the reason why this all is happening in the first place! The reason we were kidnapped by pirates, the reason my father began beating us girls! SHE PUT HIM UNDER CONTROL THE MOMENT SHE ENTERED OUR LIFE! She transformed the father and king I knew to just a Plain King. The reason why we couldn't receive love from our father, the reason why we thought of ourselves as worthless pieces of trash. IT WAS ALL HER!

I...Can't believe it! After all these years, Iris.....She... Is in front of me! Tall and beautiful like she always was... The pain, the memories, they all are rushing back to me... I can't handle it... I don't care what happened in the past... I just want to hug my sister!...... May....I-I- am sorry, I just couldn't be the sister you wante-

"MASQUERAIN USE BUBBLE!" Soledad said as both I and Misty were drenched along with the others.

"Don't forget the dark pokemon lurking around girls! DON'T LET your emotions get the better of you!!" Soledad said as she released one of Drew's Pokeball. But what is Masquerain doing with her? Oh right... The rescue or healing squad was supposed to have one fighting and one flying pokemon long with some water pokemon. Just in case they would be needed.

"HAHAHA Wow, Princess Mistfir! Your friends are really a bunch of idiots you know. Hayley and Snake Pirates are sure better hahahahha" Iris laughed heartily, wiping the tears that came in her eyes from laughing.

Your laugh still sounds like an angel... SNAP OUT OF IT MISTY! You have been through a lot with May! SHE SHOWED YOU what a real sister is like! She made you feel happy once again. I don't have a choice that Iris is my sister, BUT I DO HAVE A CHANCE TO PUT THIS FIGHT TO AN END FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL!

"You"ll be sorry to even meet me, Iris!" Misty yelled with a battle cry as she charged at her.

Raphael, Leonardo, and Michaelangelo charged at the ones who were hiding in the shadows. Good thing we have Ninjas on the team to save us! We sure will win that's for sure!!!

I charged at Clare, bringing out my sword as Misty fought with Iris with her fist. She was always good in close combat.

"Soledad, we have to leave! We have to get to Leaf right now! We don't have much time too!" Hikari said as she looked at Aisha, Nikita, and Princess Dawn. The five girls stealthily managed to leave the battle as they ran. 

"She HAS TO BE SOMEWHERE!" Nikita yelled annoyed. 

"COMMON LEAF! WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!" Aisha yelled dodging the lower branches of the trees as the group proceeded further.

It didn't take much time before trouble came along their way. Snakes.

Not just any snakes, the venomous ones who could eat a human alive in a fraction of a second. Distracted by the site, the girls didn't notice some figures who landed behind them. When they did, everything went black for them.

Princess Dawn, Nikita, Aisha, Hikari, and Soledad were captured.

"You think you could get away huh princess? You can't even come close to me!"Clare said as two anonymous people started to guard her and attacked me.

"Poor you, you did nothing wrong at all! EXCEPT being the thorn in the path of my success! I won't let you escape your marriage Princess! YOU WILL BE MARRIED TO PRINCE BRENDAN! The Princes are here to 'rescue' you." 

My eyes widen, I quickly dodged the punch that was thrown at me, before grabbing that hand, throwing the guy off. Driya came and handled the other one.

"MY plan of taking over the kingdom will not be disrupted by some pesky little princesses!" 

"SORRY! THAT KINGDOM YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BELONGS TO US!" I yelled before punching her in the face. I was about to kick her when I saw a glint of Vibrant orange hair. Misty was kicked so hard in the stomach that Iris sent her flying to the Tree. She groaned in pain.

"MISTY! DRIYA SAVE HER!"

"Watch out you little-" Eve yelled as she pushed me, being stabbed on the right arm by a knife.

All I could do was worriedly yell her name before everything turned black for me.

Princess May, Eve and Driya were captured.

************************with Drew, Red, Brock and Donetello********************

Previously with Drew's Group

WAKE UP DREW!" Red yelled shaking Drew. It took a while before he snapped out of it.

"Let's finish them off," Red grunted pulling out his sword. Brock had won the pokemon battle, but the sneaky Jessie threw a dagger at him. Drew saw as his eyes widen

Just like last time

He immediately went in front of the dagger. blood was dripping on the ground.

But never again!

"What?!?" Jessie and James exclaimed as they saw Drew's bangs hiding his eyes.

"DREW NOOOO" Brock yelled

No one could believe what they saw. It was hard. The Blood was clearly visible dripping on the ground. Jessie and James were astonished and stared at the green-haired with nothing but pure shock and amazement. Being behind Drew, Brock and the boys could not see what happened. All they could think was he was struck. But there was something peculiar about it. Not only Drew was standing, but the blood was also less in amounts compared to the blood that could have been lost if it hit the mark.

If it hit the mark

"HE FREAKIN' CAUGHT THAT BEFORE IT COULD HIT!??! HOW IS THAT FAIR!!!" The captains yelled pointing at him, panicking over his calmness.

"AND HE IS SO COOL ABOUT IT TOO!"

"HE SHOULD HAVE FREAKED OUT! OR BETTER! DIED!"

The boys stared at the blood before looking back at Drew, who was stabbed in caught the dagger before it could reach his heart. 

"JEE THANKS FOR THE HEARTATTACK CAPTAIN!" They yelled at him. Donatello sighed in relief but narrowed his eyes, he swung his staff which collided with the attacker's face.

"WELL, WHATEVER! YOU STILL WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP THE PRINCE TO GET THE PRINCESS! THEN WE WILL BE RICH!" Jessie yelled at the boys. Brock, Red, and Drew's eyes widen at that.

We already have a lot to face and NOW THIS TOO!? Brock and Red thought as Drew gritted his teeth. 

"They're not going anyway near them AS LONG AS I LIVE!" Drew yelled as he smashed the guy's head, who was about to stab him, into the ground.  He was confused about what he was feeling at this moment. He didn't know what and why did he just say that. But the thought of losing Princess May was enough to make him furious. Unlike his brother, Drew knew his feelings towards May. He thought it was only a crush that will fade away. Considering Princess May was indeed annoying yet fun to tease. As much as he hated to admit it, the times he spent with her, the times they argue over who will sleep on the bed, the times where he would save her, those memories were now a weapon that was destroying him inside. He couldn't even dare to think about living without May. Even if she didn't return his feelings, even though she is ignoring him and is mad at him, she earned his trust and respect. She became an important member of the crew. And most importantly, an important person in his life.

He loves her.

There is no denying that. AND NOW, he will protect her no matter what! No nasty spoilt prince could snatch her away from him. No way in hell.

"AWWW RIGHT! You'll be too busy protecting your mommy than your Girlfriend~" James cooed.

"...MRS HAYDEN KETCHUM IS ALIVE!?!" Brock and Red exclaimed as Drew just stared. Confused. He remembers that Ash told him that she died...

"Wow, Can you believe it, Jessie? These kids don't even know that she is alive! we kidnapped her when we last met you all." James said smirking.

"And right now, she is held as a slave by us!" Jessie said squealing and laughing at the miserable looks on Drew and the other's face. Donnie looked at them once, before sprinting towards the pirate with a battle cry. But some more men came out of nowhere to attack them.

"WHERE ARE THESE IDIOTS COMING FROM!?" Little did Donatello know, Drew, Brock, and Red were knocked out by sleeping darts and were taken away.

Drew, Brock, and Red are kidnapped.

**************WITH CLEMONT, GARY AND ASH******************

Previously

"That symbol..." Gary trailed as he looked at the sword.

"These men.... they're-"

"Smart one as always huh Gary? well yes. These are my friends, who are minions of Hayley ofc. Now time to finish you all off!" Harley laughed as the fight begun.

several attempts to slice off their head was made but fortunately, Gary and Ash survived. Problem was, neither could they attack, nor strike nor an ending blow at someone nor could try to knock them out. The men mercilessly attacked the two, tried to kill them. They managed to strike at Gary's arm as he yelled in pain.

"It's not going to be easy to fight them off, Ash!"

"Yeah, I could figure that out! WHO IS THIS HAYLEY GARY!?!"

"Hayley is a pirate, kind of an assassin-" Gary jumped before doing a roundhouse kick to knock one of the guys out." She, don't blame my charms!, managed to fall for me and now is after Leaf because I love her-" Gary was punched in the stomach."ANDshekilledRed'scrushwhowasmysister." He blurted out before looking at the guy with a devilish face. Gary let out a battle cry before kicking one of the guys in the shin, slamming two into each other and punching the guy who was trying to grab him from behind.

"WHAT!?" Ash exclaimed as he kicks one of the guys on the chin.

"GOTCHA!" A voice exclaimed breathlessly. Clemont had a knife in front of Harley's neck.

"B-Bu-But how d-did you...?" Harley exclaimed, his eyes fearful.

"Ash's Pikachu helped. While you all were busy with the fight, Ash's Pikachu helped me by cutting the ropes. Now you lose Harle-" Clemont was cut by someone who hit him on his head. The two boys yelled his name alarmed. They were two worried for their friend that they didn't notice two men behind them. They hit them on their head.

Ash, Gary, and Clemont were kidnapped

**************

I tried to open my eyes. We were tied to some trees in a row. 

"You finally woke up huh?" Drew mumbled, I looked at him, he was at my right. 

"Wha-"

"While you were out, we all got to know about Gary's sister's murder. As well as the Prince's arrival. And The Captain's mother is alive." Soledad said with a sigh.

My eyes widen as I looked at each and every one of them.

Drew, Brock, Red, Ash, Gary,  Clemont, Eve, Driya, Princess Dawn, Nikita, Aisha, Hikari, and Soledad. 

Soon, they all explained to me what was going on. The princes are here to get the princesses, Gary told them that Hayley murdered his sister because he refused to be her boyfriend. Red was in love with Gary's sister and he thought Gary killed her since Hayley forced him to make others believe that. Gary already told me about it.  Then Ash explained that Drew and His mother were alive. Both Ash and Drew argued at that. Ash told him that he was a coward, he couldn't just admit that to Drew aloud. 

Ash got to know it was their mother who called for help when the tailow incident happened. He left Drew behind because he was afraid of what might happen, he had to keep Drew safe. Now Drew was no longer talking to Ash, which broke his heart. But for me, both of them were heartbroken. Drew felt Ash betrayed him by keeping this a secret for so many years.

While I had to tell others of the whole, how did we got to know about Hayley? Gary was surprised that I knew about it. He was mad at me but didn't admit it. He said that it was fine.

We couldn't move because the snakes were there around us. One wrong move was certain death for us. We were helpless.

"Miss Me?" A new voice was heard as we looked up. Our eyes widen.

"Leaf!?!" Gary exclaimed in shock. Leaf's face was hardly recognizable. She was brutally beaten up. Suddenly, a few of the snakes, the ones who were on guard for any intruders, made their way towards her. 

"LEAF WATCH OUT!" We all yelled. Just before any of the snakes could reach the girl, a staff was thrown, with its blade side stuck on the skin of one of the snakes. 

" Miss us?" Leo's voice was heard as he emerged from the shadows. Four pairs of eyes were visible from the shadows.

"Took you long enough." Eve taunted.

"Sorry to be late, It's not like we decided on some school schedule!" Raph yelled.

"We have a school schedule?" Mikey asked as his brother's facepalm or groaned.

"Some dramatic entrance. Boring." Dawn said as she tried to untie her hands.

"CAN YOU ALL HELP AND UNTIE US!" Driya, Nikita, and Aisha yelled together.

"Am I the only one wondering why there are no.... guards? OR some lookout men?" Hikari pointed out. As if on cue, Nearly twenty men came.

"WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM!?!?" Donnie yelled.

If I knew I would have told! I am wondering the same!

Iris, Harley, Hayley, Prince Brendan, and Prince Rudy, and Clare came.

"We apologize for the inconvenience, Princess Maybelle! But for your safety, we have to tie you."Prince Brendon spoke up.

My eyes twitch at the mention of my full name. Drew's fist clenched. Suddenly, Drew and Ash's ropes were cut.

"You all sure forgot about me didn't you?" Misty said smiling as she landed beside Ash and Drew. 

"Oh and sorry Princes. We Princesses are not interested to marry you all." Misty said in a fake sweet tone. 

"Soledad, Aisha, Princess Dawn, Hikari, and Mikey. All the crew members are here, I want you all to heal whoever will be wounded.  Mikey would fight close to the cave of nightmare, where we would heal the wounded. Soledad will back Mikey up. While you all will treat others. Start with Leaf-" Leaf was shocked to hear her name as she glared at Misty "-She is in no condition to fight."

In a flash, the said girl's name was untied. 

"Wow Misty, you'll make an amazing Queen someday!" Ash cheered causing Misty to blush.

"WE have to focus on something here!" Misty yelled at him. Drew walked up beside me.

"You mad?"

"Why won't I be! You kidnapped us princesses for money! Of course, I am mad! We meant nothing to you at all. Nothing. Just useless piece of trash"

"Princess May... We may have begun on the wrong foot. But just so you know, you're not some worthless trash to us. In fact, you mean a lot to me! I don't know whether it's mutual or not, but it's about time I should tell you what I feel. I like you, Princess May, a lot. And I won't let some spoilt Prince take you away from me no matter what." 

I... Didn't know what to say. My eyes followed his moment as he sprinted towards the Prince with his sword. It was hard to believe. SO hard.

Why would Drew like me? Wait for a second.....

DREW LIKES ME?!?!?!

HE SAID WHAT!?!
AAAAAAAHHH SAVE ME I AM GONNA DIE INSIDE!

THIS IS TOO MUCH TO PROCESS! WAY TOO MUCH! WAAAYYYY TOO MUCH!

OH GODDDD

HE LIKES ME

HE LIKES ME

HE LIKES ME

HE

LIKES

ME!!!!!!!!

HE LIKES MEEEEEE

A yell got me out of my fantasies of seeing me and him in a romantic dinner under the moonlight.

"DAWN BEHIND YOU!" Eve yelled. Dawn looked behind to see one of the men was about to stab her. Dawn closed her eyes in fear, waiting for the impact but it never came. She opened her eyes to see Paul, who had stopped the guy's hand and had injected the knife in his stomach by twisting it. The guy screamed in pain. Paul punched him as he was knocked out against a tree.

"Like the dramatic entrance?" Paul asked as he looked behind at the bewildered girl, who had her mouth wide open. He put a finger on her chin, closed her mouth, and spoke up.

"You could stare at me later. Close your mouth, we don't want you to catch some flies, Princess." Dawn stared at Paul, his voice sounded so attractive all of a sudden, so hot and sexy.

Dawn blushed on what she thought, murmuring some curses.

"Who knew Princess could curse," Paul said smiling.

Awww

I should make a shipping name for them too.

SNAP OUT OF IT MAY! I looked around. Even though I was still tied, much to my annoyance, others were free. My gaze shifted towards Drew, who was busy fighting.

When did I begin falling for him? I use to hate pirates so bad!

But...

But he changed my outlook towards them. His caring nature, his arrogant personality hides a sweet side of his deep inside. It was so hard to believe. I feel so much safe in his arms. How many times did I find myself smiling like an idiot. I was so busy with the events happening around me that I didn't take notice of my own feelings when I am around him. He is just so charming, so loving. He is like a cute baby!

I giggled at the thought, I imagined Drew as a baby, who refused to eat anything like some stubborn kid.

The more I looked at Drew, the more I realize how much he meant to me. The time when he saved me from drowning, from misty, the time where we talked under the moonlight. The pain I felt when I saw him dead back in the past.

I like you too Drew. I really do!

After this fight is over, I'll confess my feelings to you.

But for now, who will untie me!?!?!?!

I sighed as I tried to untie myself.

It's about time I should use the soul dagger  Iris thought as she remembered those words.

It's not just any dragger Iris. This is soul dragger. As soon as it comes in contact with anyone's skin piercing it, the person will turn into a Living corpse within 2 weeks. Slowly, the memory that she had will fade, Then her emotions around her loved ones. It would become so worse to such extent that nor she would remember her name, nor she would remember any colors. It'll affect her brain Slowly, Painfully. So painfully that even pain will have PITY on her.

Iris drew out a knife and was about to stab Misty, only that it did stab someone, just not Misty.

Prince Brendan was fighting Drew as Prince Rudy was fighting Ash.

The magical rose would make them come under your spell that they'll do anything.

The two princes remembered those words. True, that they were supposed to use that for the princesses, but the fight the two captains were putting up was truly worth praising. At the same time, they were aiming to kill them. If they wanted to win, they have to use it. Now or never.

The two princes took out the flower, but it was reaped by the two captains in the fight, it was no longer of any use to them. They were going to lose the fight. 

********

I was trying not to blackout. Right before Misty could be stabbed, I came right in front of her. I was stabbed instead. 

The world seemed blank all of a sudden, nothing felt real.

I was going to die.... wasn't I? But the dagger didn't hit any important organ. Then what is this pain?

I couldn't hear what was Misty yelling, I couldn't catch any glimpse of what was happening around me. I did the only thing I could.

I ran, I don't know where, I don't know from whom, but I ran as fast as I can. The blood was leaving my system, I would die of blood loss.

But then again, at least Misty is safe. That made me feel alive. Pain. That made me feel.... special and alive. That I am not dead. I could hear footsteps following me, but I didn't bother to look behind. Suddenly, Something hit me, near the cliff. 

It was an arrow. I knew it was by Clare. I tried to fight back, it was hard to be conscious.

In the end, 

I fall from the cliff into the sea.

I could taste its bitterness. How bitter is life? I don't know. I could feel the pain spreading all over my body. I was losing.

I close my eyes, satisfied that I could at least save my sister.

*************

Max could easily hear the sound of swords clashing around each other. Something was wrong though, he could feel it. Something unfortunate just happened. And it was eating him up alive, the feeling of a disaster occurring. He ran with Jack following close behind. It didn't take much long for them to reach the battle sight. The pirates were winning against Clare and her prince.

Max was about to enter the fight when he was stopped by Jack.

"Your highness, look, Princess Dawn and Princess Misty are fighting beside the Pirates." He said as his eyes observed his surroundings carefully. Someone noticed Max in the fight

"Sup?" A voice grinned behind him.

"AHH EVE!??!"

"Pirates Friends and Clare is the enemy. Nice to meet you too Mr. Slow Poke! Clare was trying to kill the princess by the way. See? Clare just tried to kill Misty." Eve said seriously.

"YOU KILLED MAY! YOU KILLED HER!" Misty yelled as tears flowed down her cheeks. Her real sister tried to kill her, twice. And her adoptive sister, just put her life on the life for saving her!

Max couldn't believe what he heard. Tears came in his eyes but he stood there with a stoic expression, he brought out the sacred crystal and closed his eyes.

If you truly have power, Help May, did she really die?

Max suddenly saw May drowning in the ocean. He could suddenly feel the unbearable pain she was going through and accidentally dropped the crystal as he falls on his knees as he tried to breathe.

The crystal had developed a crack in it. No one noticed the sudden sparks of lightning it emitted.

No one but Clare, who left Iris to deal with Misty as she rushed out to grab the powerful crystal.

"NOT IN A MILLION YEARS CLARE!" Jack yelled as he noticed Clare running towards them. But he couldn't do anything. Clare pushed a pressure point causing his whole body to paralyze as she grabbed the crystal. Max rose from the ground as he glared at Clare. He tried to snatch the crystal from her.

"MAY THE TIME REWIND!" Clare yelled as she laughed crazily when the crystal started to release sparks. 

A sudden tremendously powerful blow of wind was thrown out from the crystal. It had engulfed all the world, the waves started to move backwards,  a storm was incoming. All of them were thrown backwards. Even Caroline and King Norman with some guards who had just arrived at the sight.

Something unexpected happened. All of them looked 8 years younger. All of them. Even Max's height had decreased to a 7-year-old.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!?!" Norman yelled.

"The power of the crystal! I-IT JUST REWIND PRESENT TO 8 YEARS BEFORE!" Caroline replied.

"What?" Eve and Misty yelled.

"The power of crystal has psychic ability, it could control our past, present and future," Clemont explained.

"And the crack must have messed with it's powers. So now it made all of us LIVE in the past." Donnie added.

"You're making no sense Donnie!" Leo yelled. The windstorm was slowly fading away.

"IN SIMPLE WORDS! ALL OF US ARE AGAIN GOING TO LIVE LIFE AS 18 OR 7 OR WHATEVER AGE WE WERE IN THE PAST 8 YEARS AGO!" Dawn yelled.

"Still confused." Nikita said sweatdropping.

"WE ARE NO MORE 18 BUT 10 NOW! GET IT!??! SEE YOUR OWN HEIGHT DAMMIT! WE ALL HAVE SUDDENLY SHORTEN TO THE HEIGHT WE WERE WHEN WE WERE 10!" Soledad yelled annoyed.

The guards had arrested Harley, Hayley, Iris and Clare. The prince were told that there would be no marriage. Misty's head perked up when her father said that.

"Huh? Really King Norman? I-I-I mean Your Highness King Norman! AH I mean King, our King." Misty said afraid of her sudden mistake. She totally forgot about the rules. But what surprised her was seeing King Norman laugh.

"Oh Misty dear-" Misty's eyes widen, she couldn't believe what she just heard, "I was being controlled by Clare's control potion. Since she was out of it, and had her attention towards you all, the spell was broken. I am really sorry for forcing this marriage on you both. I didn't mean to do what I did back when I was under the spell." He explained and even bowed before Misty.

"Where is Aisha, Hikari and Driya?" Nikita asked looking around.

"They went after May." Drew responded coldly. He couldn't believe what he heard. He couldn't get a hold of himself. May was most probably dead by now. He just confessed and now May is dead.

Norman looked at Ash and Drew. Ash was hiding behind Misty while Drew was standing there, completely lost. Leaf and Gary patched up during the fight.

"Andrew and Ashton My boys! Been long hasn't it?" Norman spoke up, startling the two.

"huh?" Misty said confused.

"Dear, I know your parents. In fact, I caught up with your mother. She was in a bad condition so she is in our royal ship if you want to meet her. We know you because back in those days, Blue Rose and My kingdom were friends. They would inform us about the crimes while we sent out the spies to solve them. I met you both when you were born. No surprise there that you don't remember me."Norman explained.

"Hey...." Paul said as he walked up to Max.

"So Princess May was your sister huh? I thought I recognized her from somewhere." Paul said under his breath so that only Max could hear him.

"Guys. Let's follow the trace of blood! Who knows if Princess May is alive?" Mikey said trying to be optimistic.

"What!?!? What happened to May!?!?" Her parent's exclaimed with shock.

***
All of them walked in silence. Many questions and thoughts were kicking in inside their mind regarding May. Drew's eyes were covered by his bangs. Same with Soledad and Misty. Brock and Ash were beside them soothing them. Eve looked at the path, not bothering to even look where she is going and silently walked along. The ninjas were keeping an eye out. Nikita and Hikari hoped that everything would turn out just fine and the story could have a happy ending. Clemont and Red walked besides the others in silence too. 

"Hey Leaf," Gary called out, they both were walking slowly, maintaining their distance from the group.

"Don't think too much, try being positive ok?" He said with a sad smile. May was like a small sister to him. The times they all spent together were priceless. He couldn't imagine someone like May is dead. The time when she helped him with leaf, the time when they teased each other, the times when she soothed him. She was there for him as a sister. Gary loved May. He could see his sister in her.

"I.... I can't think positively Gary... Not after what all happened... She tried so much to help us be together. And I thought she was involved with Hayley. I was so blind in my revenge to take a note of it! I-I-" Gary stopped Leaf by grabbing her hand, forcing her to look at him. "I don't know what to say.... I-I don't want to lose someone like her. I don't want to lose you or anyone.... I have already lost my whole fami-" Leaf was cut by Gary suddenly grabbing her waist, pulling her towards him as he placed his finger on Leaf's soft lips.

"To be together?" Gary whispered softly as he gazed into her eyes and leaned in slowly. Leaf slowly closed her eyes, she wanted to give in, be comforted, be loved. She doesn't want to be some strong independent girl. She wanted to depend on someone for a change, to depend on someone who she loved so secretly with all her heart.

Their lips met and moved in perfect sync. Sadness, Regret, Love, Sorrow, Guilt, and Freedom. They could feel that in the short small kiss they shared. It felt reassuring, safe. They felt complete.

But of course, the sweet moment had to come to an end. Gary broke the kiss reluctantly and looked at Leaf in the eyes.

"Let's go." He said taking her hand and walking by her side silently.

The Group had reached the cliff. And was staring horrifically at the sight. Blood, one corner of the sea, a small part, had blood in it. 

The girls could no longer control themselves as they cried. Leaf hid her face in Gary's T-shirt as she cried. Silent Tears flow from Gary's eyes as he thought of May. He just had lost his sister yet again. 

Dawn cried besides Paul, who allowed Dawn to hug him this time. He kissed at her temples and tried to soothe her, telling her to stay strong.

Drew punched the ground in frustration. His tears were not under his control anymore. He tried to keep them in, but it was not possible. All the memories of May came rushing inside his head. The time they fought over who would sleep on the bed, the silent moments they had, her laughter that could make him smile, her smiles that made his heart secretly flutter. He liked her, he wanted to protect her, but he just led her down. Let her DROWN. He was helpless once again

Misty cried, she started to have hiccups, Ash was beside her, trying to hide his own overwhelming emotions as he hugged her from behind. He could have never imagined that the girl he knew, was so fragile inside. The confident smiles, the hotheaded angry burst, the competitive nature with a caring heart. She loved her sister so much that her sister was her weakness. Even though May wasn't her real sister, the bond they shared couldn't be broken. The times they spent couldn't be forgotten. The fights they had couldn't be more special.

Sometimes the best memories turn out to be the ones that hurt us when we couldn't live them again.

"We just lost not only May but Aisha, Hikari and Driya," Nikita said emotionlessly. Norman was staring at the sea where the blood was now fading.

"I-I.... Happy B-b-Birthday May...." Caroline managed to speak up, only to burst into tears at the end of it.

"She did it..." Norman spoke up. Max looked up, his hair messed up and his eyes red from crying.

"S-she really did it..." Norman trailed.

"She got what she desired..." Caroline said as her voice slightly cracked.

"She got it... She did it..." Misty and Max spoke as they silently walked towards the cliff.

"What?" Drew asked, his voice barely audible.

"She got it." Max said as his tears began flowing.

"She finally did it," Norman said placing a hand on Max's shoulder.

"She fulfilled her wish..." Misty said

"Escape from Royalty." The Whole Royal family said together
