A/N Hi guys! I hope you don't just completely ditch my story one day. Sorry, it just came to mind.

Melanie's POV

I sighed, frowning.

"Tell me why." I said. Sam glared at me.

"Not part of the deal." She said. I groaned in disgust, knowing I would have to have Ales tell me instead. I walked to Ales, and waved my hand at her. The gag came off, and Ales sighed.

"I'll tell you." She said. Sam frowned.

"Ales, don't." Sam warned. Ales bit her lip.

"I'm royalty." Ales said.

"I'm the Princess of the kingdom of Corona. My mother and father were the kindest rulers in all of Minecraftia. Sam may have been merely a villager, but she was my best friend. She taught me how to fight with a sword, and I taught her how to shoot with a bow." Ales explained, smiling at the memories.

"Of course, it ended soon. When I was 14, a man by the name of Zenix set fire to my whole kingdom, and slaughtered my parents in front of me. Their last wish was to Sam. They ordered her to take me away, far away, and keep me safe." Ales said, blinking back tears and swallowing down sobs.

"About four years later, when I was 18, and Sam was 19, we stopped at a village by the name of O'kasis. A man greeted us. His name was Zane." Ales said. I frowned, knowing where this story might be going.

"He fell in love with Sam, and Sam felt the same. We were going to stay there, until we found out how evil he was. The two had an argument, and Sam threatened to run away. That's when Zane became afraid to lose the first person he loved. So, he locked us in a room. The problem was, he locked us in together." Ales said.

"Sam was able to teach me another thing; How to escape. We climbed out of the tower, and were able to escape." Ales said. I turned and saw Sam blink back tears. I immediately felt bad; falling in love with a man who had more evil in his heart than there are worms in dirt must've hurt her bad.

"Oh." I said. I snapped my fingers and turned them both loose. Ales had a look of forgiveness on her face, and Sam looked like she wasn't mad anymore.

"I-I'm really sorry... I'm going to, uh... Take some time off. I'll be back." I said, stepping backwards. I grabbed my diamond sword on my way into the forest.

<<<<>>>><<<<>>>><<<<>>>>

I sat on a log, wishing for Garroth to be with me. I'm not sure what happened back with the girls, but all I know is that it wasn't me.

It wasn't you. It was me.

Who are you?

Your dark side.

What do you mean?

You haven't figured it out yet? You've got some rare magicks, Melanie. If you were able to use them for more then just 'emergencies', you could use them for power.

Stop it. I'm using them for Garroth, and Garroth only.

Of course you would. But just think, you could be so much more.

I'm not going to.

Ha! You will. The more your magicks grow, the more powerful I'll become. Soon, I might even get a form.

I'm only trying to help Garroth. That's it.

Just. You. Wait.

I'm not going to become evil.

What if I told you it was a way to get Garroth back?

.......

Heh, thought so.

Just tell me what I have to do.

For starters, you have to get to Aphmau.

I stood up, and looked around. I was in the middle of the forest, but maybe I was closer to Scaleswind then I thought. Jack and Lily won't be there if they want Jadyn to live, so I'll just go over there and talk to Aphmau.

Quickly, I ran to Scaleswind.

<<<<>>>><<<<>>>><<<<>>>>

"Nicole! Do you know where Aphmau is?" I walked into the huge building and called for Nicole. She walked in from the dining room.

"Hey Mel!" Wince. "You just missed Aphmau, she went to Phoenix Drop." Said Nicole. I nodded.

"I need to find her." I said. She sighed.

"Alright. Do you mind coming with me real quick to apologize to Dmitri? He wanted to go to Phoenix Drop, but I wouldn't let him." Nicole explained.

Pry.

No, that wasn't part of the deal.

But it's fun!

I. Said. No.

You're no fun.

"Alright, I'll go with you." I said, walking up the stairs with her. She opened the door to her son's room...

And all that was there was a taunting face painted on his pillow.

"HE DIDNT-- OH NO, HE DID!!!" Yelled Nicole, running out the door.

"What did he do?!" I cried. She ordered her guard to get her a boat to Phoenix Drop.

"He stowed away to Phoenix Drop! I have to go get him before Dante-- OH CRUD DANTE!!! We have to find Dmitri before Dante sees him! And then Kawaii~Chan! She's smarter then him, she'll find out--!"

"Nicole, what's going on!? You can tell me!" I said. She the let tears pour down.

"Mel, I can't tell you!" Nicole said. I grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

"Look at me. You can tell me anything." I said. She cried harder.

"But you and Dante are like siblings! I can't tell you!" Nicole cried.

"I promise you I won't tell anyone." I promised. Nicole knew about my promises.

I'm really gonna have to change your whole, no-breaking-promises thing.

Will you shut up! Not the time!

"D-Dante and I used to have a relationship, but broke up. A-And, D-D-Dmitri is Dante's... I TRIED TO TELL HIM MYSELF, BUT I SAW HIM WITH KAWAII~CHAN AND NEKOETTE!! I didn't want to ruin his already perfect life so I didn't tell him!" Nicole said, crying.

It hit me. Dmitri is Dante's son.

"Nicole, did you tell Aphmau?" I asked. She shook her head no.

"Then I won't tell. But you should." I said. Nicole wiped away at her tears.

"I'll go with you. But I need to bring some friends along." I said. She nodded.

"That's fine. How many?" She asked.

"Two." I said.

Nicole allowed me until dawn to find Sam and Ales so we could be on our way. Even though I knew I would be back hours before.

I ran to the campsite, and woke up Ales and Sam.

"Ok, I know you don't really trust me, but what if I told you I knew the perfect place for you guys to hide out in?" I asked. Sam and Ales shared a look.

<<<<>>>><<<<>>>><<<<>>>>

"Welcome to Phoenix Drop." I said to Ales and Sam as the land appeared on the horizon.

Sam and Ales agreed to come with me, only if I promised not to have freak outs like I did before. Of course I promised, and of course I would try and keep it.

"Nicole?! Melanie!?" Just the person I was looking for.

"Aphmau! Quick question–is there any room for two more of us in the tree house?" I asked. Aphmau opened her mouth to respond, but Levin answered.

"Yes, there should be." He said. Aphmau smiled and nodded, but shared a look with me that said 'We need to talk'.

"Nicole, what are you doing here? Well, I know what you're doing here, but... On your own?" Asked Aphmau.

This was gonna take a while, wasn't it?

A/N Ok guys! I actually got the idea on how to make Melanie all dark with her little dark person and stuff from Once Upon a Time.

Also, tell me which one you want, because I can't pick.

Laurnie? Or should we move on and do Jelanie?

Also, make sure you think about which one would cope with the MD storyline, too.
