Heello guys, Chewy here. I am so sorry for not publishing this chapter sooner! Okay, I will stop talking, Let's get on with the chapter!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<Back at  Lotus's Room>

Lotus sat uncomfortably in her chair.

Lotus: "I'm sorry for shutting myself out..."

A tear rolled down Lotus's cheek. Denise stood up and hugged her tightly.

Denise: "It's Okay, Lotus. We are here for you..."

Ornella nodded in agreement.

Lotus: "Thanks guys...you really are the best!"

Denise: "I know we are!"

Lotus laughed. Denise turned to face Ornella.

Denise: "Right?"

Denise noticed Ornella spacing out.

Denise: "ORNELLA!!!"

Ornella: "Huh?"

Denise: "Are you okay?"

Ornella: "Yeah...just thinking about something..."

Lotus and Denise awkwardly look at Ornella as she was lost in her thoughts.

Ornella: That cave...Lotus mentioned...something is fishy going on...

Ornella turned to Lotus and interrupted her conversation with Denise.

Ornella: "Lotus."

Lotus: "Yeah?"

Ornella: "Where was that cave located again?"

Lotus: "In the dark forest...but Ornella it's dangerous there!"

Ornella: "I know. But didn't you said there was a sound coming from the cave?"

Lotus thought for a moment and replied.

Lotus: "Yeah..."

Ornella got up and exclaimed.

Ornella: "Take me there..."

Lotus's and Denise's eyes grew in shock.

Denise: "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND??!!!"

Lotus: "No, Ornella. I can't risk my Friend getting hurt..."

Ornella look at both of them with a straight face.

Ornella: "I understand how dangerous it is but please, I need to investigate."

Lotus crossed her arms and looked away. Then, she turned to face Ornella again.

Lotus: "Okay..."

Denise: "WHHHHAAAATTT???!!!!"

Lotus: "I will bring u there but we need weapons and magic, and also back-up..."

Ornella: "Don't worry, I already got everything planned out..."

Ornella and Lotus smiled at each other.

Ornella: "You are coming too, Denise."

Ornella said as she walked off. Lotus followed behind her.

Denise: "You two are my worst nightmare. HEY! WAIT UPP!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<In the dark forest>

The three of them had entered the dark and spooky forest.

Denise: "This place is giving me chills..."

Ornella: "Don't worry, as long as we are together, we can overcome anything!"

Ornella looked over at Lotus.

Ornella: "Lotus, Where exactly is this cave?"

Lotus: "Umm well..."

Before Lotus could finish her sentence, suddenly, they heard something in the bushes.

Denise: "AHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Denise jumped on Lotus and both of them fell backwards.

BANG!

The sound they made could be heard loud and clear.

Lotus: "Ow, my back! *Whispers* Denise! What are you doing?!"

Denise: "I just got scared! There could be a Monster behind those bushes!"

The sound bushes were getting louder and louder. Ornella took out her magic sword and pointed it directly at the bush.

Ornella: "Come out, creature!"

All of a sudden, Robert came out.

Robert: "Umm..hi guys. Sorry for scaring you."

Ornella: "Robert?!"

Ornella immediately threw her arms around Robert.

Ornella: "What are you doing here in the dark forest!"

Robert: "I should be asking you the same thing!"

Denise stood up and answered.

Denise: "We are all heading to the 'dark' cave." 

Robert's eyes widened.

Robert: "The dark cave? Why?"

Ornella: "Well not too Long ago, Lotus discovered this cave and she heard something coming out from it. So, we are going back there to investigate."

Robert: "If you guys are going there, I should follow too! And besides, I may know where this cave is..."

Ornella: "Really?! Yay! Okay, Lead us there!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<A few minutes later...>

Denise: "Gosh, I am really tired! My legs are killing me! Can we take a break?"

Lotus glance over at Denise.

Lotus: "It has only been a few minutes, Denise."

Denise: "Yeah I know but-"

BANG!

Denise accidentally hit a tree and she felt to the ground...again...

Denise: "OUCH!"

Lotus shook her head and walked over to Denise. She pulled her up.

Lotus: "Next time, keep your eyes on the pavement."

Denise rolled her eyes.

Robert: "Hey, guys! I think we are here."

Robert pointed the same dark cave Lotus encountered.

Lotus: "Yes! That's the one!!"

Ornella: "What are we waiting for lets go!"

Lotus: "W-Wait! Ornella!"

As Ornella walked closer to the cave, a zombie appear out of nowhere and start coming towards her direction.

Ornella: "Ah!"

Robert immediately took out his sword. He ran to the zombie and killed it.

Lotus: "I forgot to remind you about the zombies..."

Robert kneeled down and investigated the zombie.

Robert: "It seems like they are made by magic...I think they are protecting the cave..."

Denise: "Who are they even protecting?"

Robert: "I don't know..."

Ornella: "Well, let's go inside to find out!"

Just as they were going to head into the cave, more zombies started approaching them!

Robert: "You guys go in! I will handled the zombies!"

Ornella: "What about you?!"

Robert: "I will be fine!"

Ornella nodded and ran inside the cave with Lotus and Denise...
