( Laurence P.O.V. )

The woman came threw the portal and dragged us back. We were back at our home. It looked a little older though. I laid on the ground exhausted while Aaron, Katlyn, Emmalyn, and Kenmur sit up against pillars. I looked up and seen the woman hugging Aphmau.

   " ZOEY!!!??"

I looked up to see Aph hugging Zoey. She had grown older. She explained that we were gone 15 years.

   ' 15 Years!? What about...no it has to still be there.'

Zoey walked us to Phoenix Drop and it looked terrible. The gate was broken down and full of weeds and vines. The buildings were tore and barren. I ran off into the old village running to the lake. Her  secret place. When I pushed through the trees I realized that they had grown. Then I made it to the lake. I saw the ice statue still there. The pink cherry trees lost their flowers. They looked dead. The lake had moss everywhere making it look green.

   " I never realized how much she took care of it."

I walked up to the ice statue and the weapons were still there frozen to her hands. She had scrape marks on her arms no doubt being hit by something. Then her leg had a cut on it. The gold plaque was gone and she had scrapes and cuts on her chest where her golden heart still sits. Frozen. I fell to my knees and cried. I missed her so much.

   " Y/n why didn't you come back?"

I started letting my tears go. It was horrible to see how they treated her statue.

   " Laurence."

I looked behind me to see Aph walking towards me. With her own tears in her eyes. She walked over to me and sat beside me.

   " I miss her too."

   " Her statue is barren. They stole her plaque, and they cut her leg and left scrapes on her."

   " It's horrible Laurence, but Y/n is still in our hearts. You know Zoey told me that When storms came she would stand tall and not fall over."

   " Cause she's a fighter. She never goes down without a fight."

   " Ya....you wanna know something else?"

   " Sure."

  " Zoey said that she may have found something to wake her up."

I lifted my head up and started running around when Zoey found me. She looked into my eyes and said.

   " Let's get to the new village I'll explain there."

I nodded and started following her.
