   Ash. Dust. Memories, wasted away. Every ticking moment equaled another bomb, consuming layers of dirt and stone. The days, wandering around, wondering when you would be secure, living... free. The remains of homes, structures, trees... were dust under your feet, as you walked past them. Tears were the clearest thing from across the land. Even the ocean became a Nether world for life. Your (H/C) covered your eyes, your tired, (E/C) eyes. Your sword was being dragged from behind you. You walked past blocks upon block of planks, stone, and logs, as the destruction got worse and worse. No one was seen, until looking down became the biggest mistake. You looked up, to see a trail, of those you cared for, loved, needed... all laying down, before your eyes. Their expressions fearsome, terrified... scared. Of what? You looked further down, only to see them. Them... who was it? A flash of red startled you...

Your Point of View:
~
   I shot up from my bed, breathing heavily. Sweat was running down my face. My eyes felt dry, puffy... was I crying? I looked up, the sound of a door opening almost relieving me. My (H/C) was everywhere. From the front of my face to sticking up. Laurence opened the door, shock filling his face.
   "(F/N), are you OK? You were sobbing in your sleep!" he walked in, with Rose. He closed the door, walking towards my bed.
   "It was awful. It was just awful. I'm a bit... shaken."
   "Sounds like you had a night terror."
   "Y-Yeah."
   "Do you want to talk about it?"
   "I mean, it wasn't much, but enough to make me fear, and think for a minute... whatever's happening now, does it mean something? I saw the village, but it was broken. It was demolished by some sort of evil force. And, the land surrounding it was too. And everyone... I-I don't know. I'm confused."
   "Hey, it's going to be OK. It was just a nightmare. You can't think that those things would actually happen."
   "It was just... I guess I hate the past. The past for me, was like that. I was left with nothing. And the things I did have were just memories. Stupid memories too. Of nothing but traveling, and traveling, and his constant drinking." I sniffed.
   "Oh no, don't cry. It's the past, and while nothing may change that, you have the present, and that's all that matters right now. Not to mention you have everyone at the village to help, Rose, but you have me. And while I'm not the best at what I do, I will do everything that I can to help and protect you."
   "Laurence..."
   "I refuse to see you like this, (F/N). You don't deserve to cry."
   "I'm sorry, Laurence... I'm just really sensitive."
   "Come here." he opened his arms, and I hugged him. He picked me up from the bed, and I wrapped my arms around his waist, his arms picking me up as if I were a simple feather. I cried in his shoulder, as he held me close. I dropped down, my toes lightly touching the floor. Laurence was looking into my eyes, as I looked into his blue eyes. He looked at me, whispering, "(F/N), it's going to be OK, OK?"
   "Laurence..."
   "Shh. Don't worry so much, (F/N)." he said in a husky, deep voice, "We'll be OK." he placed his hands on my waist, as my arms were still wrapped around his neck. His eyes were locked onto mine, and his warm breath hit the sides of my cheeks and tip of my nose. He leaned in, closing his eyes. I closed my eyes as well, before the floor shook. 
   "LAURENCE!" I cried. He picked me up, running out of the house. Rose was running after us, and we all made it out, before Katelyn showed up from behind.
   "Hello, Laurence. (F/N). Rose... It's great finally getting to meet you, such a shame it's under terrible circumstances." she laughed manically.
~
   "NO!!!" I screamed. I fell off my bed and scrambled to get on my feet. "ROSE, LAURENCE!" I ran around the house, before Laurence found me downstairs.
   "What's going on? You're... crying..." he looked at me.
   "H-Help..." I teared up. 
   "(F/N)..." he ran up to me, and I to him, and we embraced in a hug. "I'm so sorry. I could hear you from my room. I was going to check on you, but you ran out of your room! Are y-you..."
   "I don't know what's going on. Is this real?" I touched him, "Are you real?"
   "Yes, I am. This is the real world. (F/N), you're scaring me, what's going on?"
   "V-Visions... dark... s-s-scary..."
   "Shh. It's OK. This is real. Don't worry, (F/N)."
   "What time is it?"
   "It's 7:32."
   "Well, I won't be able to go back to sleep." I sighed.
   "So, breakfast it is. You go and get dressed for the day. I think Garroth and Dante want you to help with something later today, as you are the detective. You seem to know a lot. I'll make breakfast before I go on patrol."
   "Thanks Laurence."
   "Of course." I walked upstairs, and got dressed in a white shirt, a brown pair of shorts, and brown boots. I put my hair back in a high ponytail(if you have shorter hair, then left it down), and pulled the pendant up from underneath the shirt. Satisfied with how I looked, I walked downstairs, the scent of bacon and eggs hitting me. I noticed Rose sitting right next to where Laurence was cooking. She wagged her tail, and begged, for some of it. I sat down, looking out the window. The sun was still barely coming up, and Laurence was done making breakfast, when he brought me a plate. I thanked him, grabbing a fork and eating it. Well, I was hungry... I guess. He sat down next to me, a took a bite of his eggs.
   "Laurence, did you get a bad dream?"
   "No, I didn't. Will you be OK today?"
   "Yeah. What time did Garroth tell you I had to be there?"
   "8:30, I think."
   "OK. Is Katelyn still in Phoenix Drop?"
   "Yeah, and we don't know for how long, either. Hopefully it's for a short time."
   "She gives me a bad feeling, you know?"
   "Yeah. You'd better get going."
   "Thanks Laurence."
   "Yep. See you later."
   "Bye." I stepped out of the house, and walked down to Morgan's home, where Garroth and Dante were.
   "Hello, (F/N). Are you ready?" Garroth asked me.
   "Yeah."
   "We'll be out here, contact me through the pendant if you need anything." Garroth opened the door, and I walked in.
   "Morgan?"
   "I'm d-downstairs."
   "Alright." I went downstairs, and she was sitting on the chair. Her hair was still silver and ice blue, and she changed her clothes to her regular ones. "Whoa." I whispered, her hair was shining. She turned around, and looked at me. Her eyes were gray, with ice blue flakes. "M-Morgan..."
   "I'm cursed, (F/N). I cannot love. A Jury of Nine member told me so. Katelyn to be exact. When I was 8, I first developed these affects. We visited O'kasis, and Katelyn seemed to know the most about my so-called condition. She said, 10 years in the future, when you near 18, you must love. Otherwise, you may wither, and pass. The effects occur sooner if you break something you cherish. She said, be careful with who you love, if you can. That's why my hair had purple tips, and I constantly wear reds. Because, I was once surrounded by love. Now that I've lost that, I cannot run, I have no energy, unless love can return. Which I am very doubtful of."
   "Why didn't you mention this earlier?"
   "Because, I did not think this would happen. And when it did, I was mortified. Unless a miracle were to happen, I don't know how I'd be able to live through this. However, what I can do, is I can temporarily change my appearance to how it was before. My magicks can only go a long way, you know. The spell would only last 2-3 months, and would slow down the process of... you know. Without the power of love, my heart is as bitter as ice, cold as a menacing stare, and as sad as depression. It's why my appearance is... cold." she shivered.
   "But... I don't want you to wear yourself out." I sniffed.
   "Either I wither within days, or enjoy what I can get. It's difficult, I know, but at least I will have some sort of time." Morgan sighed.
   "Do it. Cast the spell. I'm not ready to accept this yet. I want you to stay for as long as you can."
   "O-Ok..." she stood up, slightly struggling. "You can look, it's just a simple transformation. However, if I use this spell, I cannot go back. I'll have to accept it completely." I simply nodded, and she sighed once more, before closing her eyes. She lifted her arms up, and a orb of magenta appeared. That was the last of her... love? She slammed her arms into her chest and gasped. I squeaked, as her hair turned from silver to brown, and the blue to purple. I couldn't tell what her eyes looked like. Once the transformation was done, she fell to the floor.
   "MORGAN!" I squealed, running over to her. Her eyes were tearing up.
   "I-I... it's... working... I need to get up." I helped her up, and she cried. "It worked. I didn't think it would. All my remaining life is in my heart, and should work for the next 2-3 months. I don't know how to feel. Oh Irene, I'm scared...tell Garroth and Dante I'll be out later today or tomorrow... I need to calm myself." 
   "OK... be careful..."
   "I will." she sat back down, and I left the house, as Garroth and Dante stood there, still waiting.
   "(F/N)... is everything alright?"
   "Give her some time. She was... actually sick. And might still be. There's nothing to worry about. She apologized for her disturbance, and I don't think it will happen again."
   "Great. Dante and I need to return to the tower, so that we can watch Katelyn and the rest of the village. You are more than welcome to come with us, otherwise, feel free to walk around. Just be careful. We're letting you do this, so that you can find more information." Garroth stated.
   "OK, thank you. I promise I'll be fine."
   "Alright, let's go Garroth." Dante and Garroth walked away, and I walked the opposite direction. I was heading towards the plaza, when I found Kiki trying to catch one of Aphmau's hamster. Cuddlezilla was it?
   "Cuddlezilla!" Kiki ran after Cuddlezilla. He was coming my way, so I scooped him up, and Kiki panted. "Oh thank you so much (F/N)! Cuddlezilla got out!"
   "My pleasure, and it's kind of dangerous out here, you know."
   "Yeah. Say... what are you doing?"
   "Garroth upgraded me to the village's detective. I'm in charge of finding clues, checking up on people, and just trying to keep everyone safe."
   "Good for you! Anyways, I'm going to go back to the barn. I'll see you later!"
   "Bye Kiki!" I smiled. She walked away, Cuddlezilla in her hands. I giggled, and turned around to see Katelyn standing right before me, 
   "So, detective (L/N)... it's been a long, long time. Hello."
~~~~
   Tee-hee... WELP, I HAVE AN INTRO! It's kind of boring, but it was the best I could do! I suck at making videos. :P Anyways, ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS I AM? Anyways, a couple things I need to say before going. Some of you have been messaging me, asking when I plan on announcing the winners. I want to at least get the results by the 4th, and make a video on the 4th. Then, maybe upload it to YouTube on the 5th. That's... 3 days away. It all depends on when I get the judge's results. Next, I wanted to give a shout-out, to one of the judges, who has just made a Wattpad account! That's right, my actual IRL twin brother has finally decided to make an account, after a year XD... anyways, here's his name:

Reese085

   That's all I need to say as of right now. BUT, PLEASE. Don't spam him with, "Pick me as the winner!" He's actually going to be TELLING ME who does that, and if it goes too far, I'll have to disqualify those people. So PLEASE DON'T DO IT! Hopefully you liked this part, and I'll see you in the next one! Buh-bye! ~Morgan :D
