Hexa's Pov:
"I wonder how they are doing..." I mumbled under my breath. I looked up at the screens hoping for the static to clear. But, it didn't. It never did. Not after the dome Zero put. "Do you want me to check?" Ender asked, getting up from her chair. "No, don't. I don't want you getting hurt after all." I replied, facing her. I noted how Seth laid his head on her lap as he softly snored. These past few nights and days were tiring. We stayed up and stayed active to see if the static would clear or we would at least get a message from the others. "Have you remembered anything from your past yet?" I asked. "All I remember is a masquerade party and a book. That's it." Ender explained as she softly put a hand through Seth's hair. "I see..." I mumbled, trying to remember where that was in the timeline. Oh right, it's what happened before all of this started. "You are getting close but, I just hope you remember more than that. You and Seth may not have been involved as much but, you certainly do remember." I explained, looking back at the computer screens. "But, why do you care? I don't get it." Ender questioned, confused. "This timeline matters a lot to me. I need everyone to remember what happened in order for this world to function correctly. Think of me as a time protector. I look over time itself and make sure that nothing is out of place. So, for this to happen, I must be involved." I explained, crossing my arms. I slowly leaned down on the table as I rested my chin against my arms. I only told her the first half, the second must remain a secret.

"Ah, protector of time. So, what does Zero have to do with you?" Ender asked, looking down at Seth. "Let's just say we have unfinished business from the past. She wants to control time and I can't let that happen. For if she gains control, time might be destroyed by the hands of her." I explained, sighing afterward. Oh, Zero. Why are you like this? What happened? What did I do to you? "Well, at least, we have something in common. I think..." Ender spoke, chuckling softly. I turn around in my chair as I look at her with a confused expression.

"We're both protectors of our worlds. Yours is time itself, you must protect it from being destroyed. I am the Queen of The End. I am supposed to protect it from anyone who dares rule or destroy it." Ender explained, smiling slightly. Right, she's a dragon hybrid and not just any kind, an ender dragon kind. "Then, why aren't you there?" I asked, intrigued by her story. This might finally help her remember the timeline. Helping me fix time itself and stop Zero from continuing her plans. Ender seems to think about it for a while until she looks back at me.

"I fell in love with Pink and shortly after, we had a baby known as Purple. I had to leave my duties to care for my son. We were happy for a while until Pink fell out of love. He fell for another and Purple eventually stopped visiting me. I was left alone." Ender explained, tears pricking her eyes. "Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry!" I exclaimed, getting up to get her some tissues. "It's okay, Hexa! No need to worry!" She replied, dabbing the tissues on her eyes. "How is it okay? You could have rejected him and continue to be happy." I asked.

"And maybe, the timeline would have been different and none of this would have ever happened," I spoke, looking down with my eyes slightly widen. "Hm, well, yes, true. I would have been happier and without any worries if I rejected him. But, do I regret it? Absolutely not. I would be more than happy to relive all that for pain just to experience once again." Ender explained, her cheeks were incredibly red as she smiled. Love is so confusing. On the one hand, it makes you feel so many nice things.

Like happiness, love, care, support, and security. Yet, on the other hand, it turns you into a fool. One who continues to run in circles. One who loves the other very much. One who misses them every day after a breakup. Yet, I know, deep down. I am that fool and happiness at the same time. And I didn't mind that I was. "Well-" I was stopped by a loud explosion. I was thrown to the ground as the walls behind exploded as well as the computer screens. I looked to see Ender fallen down on her chair as she held Seth close to her.

Everything was ringing, everything was so dusty that I barely saw a thing. "What's going on?" I asked, covering my ears. What an awful sound. I hear glass shards being stepped on. Why are they so loud? "It's called a plan, Hexa, dear. You really think we would lend you off the hook just like that?" Zero questioned with a smirk on her face. I looked at Ender who summoned her fire powers from the palm of her hands. I noted that Seth lifted his hand up to reveal an ink-covered hand comes up from the floors.

Zeph seemed to have noticed as he blasted ice onto their hands to prevent them from using their powers. "Seth...Ender..." I whispered as I tried to crawl over to them. I feel a foot on my left leg drag me back then, I felt a kick in the stomach. I looked back at my friends to see them completely covered in ice. "If you thought, we would lend you off the hook. You were wrong!" Zero exclaimed as she laughed afterward.

"You're my prisoner now!" She exclaimed as she kicked me in the head.
