Chapter 12

The wind was harsh.The signs of leaf-bare were closing in.

Foxspirit ran over the fields.Her redish tabby fur was bushed-out.

She was chasing her friend.Frostpaw's white pelt was up ahead.

"Frostpaw!"Foxspirit called."What's going on?"

"Everything is connected,my friend!"Frostpaw yowled over the wind.

"What do you mean?"

"There are others.The ones before us,they are in another dimension.The ones after us,they are also in other dimensions."

Foxspirit reached the white she-cat,her cat face a mask of confusion.

----------------------

"Where do the stairs go?"

"Up."

"Jesse!"

Olivia gave Jesse a friendly push.

"We can be smart-mouthed later."Lukas said.

I sniggered,then covered it with a cough.

Hm...not convincing.

We went up the stairs,and for once I felt a tiny bit safe.Just a tiny bit.But I knew that wouldn't last.You wouldn't feel safe either,with a hungry Witherstorm on a rampage.

We got to the top.Sunlight would fade soon,it was almost sunset.

"...so...what now?"Olivia asked.

"Gabriel said that this Amulet would help us find the other members of the Order."Jesse showed everyone the Amulet.

I walked over to those redstone lamps.These would make that light,then we'd put the Amulet in it's little spot...

"Well,Jesse,hold it up.Something might happen."I heard Axel say.

I tried to remember which redstone lamps would do the job.I wasn't sure.

"Maybe we need to do something?"Lukas guessed.

"We should split up and look for clues."Jesse advised.

Why can't my brain remember things when I want it to?! I cursed at my brain.At least it kept me alive.

...Would my brain be blocky here?Did we even have brains?!

Random thought right there.Absolutely amazing.Note the sarcasm.

"What'cha doing?"

When I get interrupted when in thought,I usually get startled.But it was only Jesse.

"Trying to figure out these lamps.Why would someone leave random lamps here?"I pointed out.

Jesse made a 'hmm' sound and flipped one of the switches.

Does everyone remember those lights?One blue,one grey,one green,one red,one light blue?

Well,two of those lights lit up.Then my brain decided that it knew what the next one was.

A little late,brain.

I flipped one of the redstone lamp's levers,then all of the lights were lit.I hit the switch for the middle one.

-----------------------

"Who are they?"

"Do you know what's going on?"

"What is going on?"

"Frostpaw...?"

Five cats huddled around a pool reflecting moonlight.

"These are people from school."The yellow cat,Runningsun realised.

"This is leading to something bigger." Frostpaw meowed.

A black cat with golden patches shifted uncomfortably.A grey cat with white paws and belly sighed.

"Everything is riddles,riddles,riddles..."The grey cat meowed.

"We have out own problems here,we shouldn't worry about them right now."The black and golden she-cat pointed out."We don't have time to huddle around and watch schoolkids.With Tigerstar on the way,and an army of dead cats coming to kill us all,we should focus on the bigger picture."

"We will worry about it after everything.I assure you,we will worry."Frostpaw meowed.

"Stop being creepy,Frostpaw!"Foxspirit shook her head and stood up.

-----------------------

"What do those lights mean?"Olivia asked.

There were two lights,one red,one green.Ellegaard and Magnus.

"This is what Gabriel was talking about!"Jesse exclaimed."Those lights must be Magnus and Ellegaard!"

"But there are only two lights...there are only two members of the Order left?"Axel pointed out,confused.

Everyone got a little worried,but not me.Gabriel would probably be here tomorrow...if Jesse saved him...which she did...

Maybe Rory would be there too?

Would he forgive me what I did?
I hope so.
He can.
He must.

"Well,we have to work with what we have."I said.

"I'm going to stay here."Lukas decided.

Jesse turned around,suprised.I wasn't so suprised.

"But we need you!"Jesse protested.

"If there is that chance that Petra is alive...she'll be doing all she can to get here."Lukas pointed out.

Aaaannnddd...here comes the guilt.

Axel was looking at me accusingly.

"Alright."Jesse conceded.

"But...can someone stay here with me?"Lukas pleaded."I'll need help repairing this place before nightfall."

"I'll stay."I had no intention of going through the Nether again.

"Thanks,Aza..."Lukas murmured.

Olivia,Jesse and Axel turned to the map.

Well,this is going to end in an argument between Olivia and Axel,isn't it?

"Looks like we're going to get Ellegaard."Olivia smiled.

Here it comes.

"No,we're going to get Magnus."Axel protested.

"We need Ellegaard's brains,not Magnus's arrogance!"

"Magnus is the smarter choice!"

"You mean Ellegaard."

"No,Magnus!"

"I say Ellegaard."Jesse decided.

Axel huffed.

"What if I go get Magnus on my own?"He asked.

To be honest,that was a good way to go about it.

"Are you sure?"Jesse said.

"I'm sure as sure."

"Well...alright."

I turned around,looking at the floor and all the holes in it.This was going to take a while-

Wait.

Cue the scared gasp.

The Witherstorm.

"Please hurry,guys."Lukas pleaded.

--------------------

The child looked around.This looked strangely familiar,yet the child had never been here.

Wait,they had fur now?And long ears?What was this?

The child frowned.Their shirt was now blue with purple stripes.

They looked at the golden flowers.

They were in a cave.

They walked into the cave.

There was an archway.The child gulped.

They went through the archway.

There was a patch of grass in the middle of the room.

That patch of grass confirmed their fear.

The flower on the patch of grass smiled.

"Howdy!I'm Flowey!Flowey the flower!"
