The Prophecy
Forest Where Love Grows
Daphine Jane Astoria
Is this the right path?
Daphine asked as they kept walking deeper and deeper through the forest. The sun already set and they are unsure what tragedy or what luck will happen to them.
Some of them are silently panicking as they kept walking and walking but they still haven't find where they marked their paths, so they wouldn't get lost.
Lavinia Victoriania
I'm not quite sure, but I think we are already near to the lake.
Lavinia said to calm Daphine down. Daphine was the youngest among them, they know that she has a weak heart.
Daphine Jane Astoria
Oh yea, sure. Sorry for being impatient..
She apologised and went silent.
They kept walking and walking 'till they finally found where the entrance is. But they stopped for a moment near the entrance.
Kit Paloma
Have you guys found your true loves?
They laughed and looked at each other's for a moment.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
I think I found mine.
Xavier said while his gaze are locked in Violette's.
Piercy also said and went to Dove. They smiled at each others and hold each other's hands. Violette's eyes went to Xavier when he walked towards her and made her sit on his lap as he also sat down on the ground. He smiled and looked at her lips, asking for permission. She nod, and that's when he kissed her, deeply. He was so hungry that he bit her lips.
He looked at her with eyes she never knew would shine like this, But that's she noticed that Lavinia was gone, she don't even know where did she even go. Did she went back first? Her thoughts were cut off when Xavier spoke.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Focus on me, Violette.
She smiled and kiss him again, this time, she was the hungry one. But that kiss didn't last long. He suddenly looked at Violet that made him suddenly pushed her that made her stumbled on the ground. Their friends who were also busy kissing each other got their attention on them.
Piercy Quin Gilmore
Damn! Are you crazy, Xav?!
Kit Paloma
Piercy bro, calm down!
Piercy only looked at him with dark eyes. The girls helped her to stand up and asked if she's okay, she only faked her smile and looked at Xavier who is currently confused.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Sorry. I just realized that.. Viollete isn't the love of my life.
Damn. That hurts. She only stared at him while they talked to him why would he even kiss her in the first place.
Violette de Amore
Um.. Guys, why won't we just go back? It's really getting too late..
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Wait. I still need to find mine-
Piercy Quin Gilmore
Where's Lavinia?
Dove Paloma
Oh right.. Where is she?
Violet Everton
I think I saw her get back first.
Piercy Quin Gilmore
Oh okay-
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Guys. Let's roam a bit, I need to find mine.
Kit Paloma
Bro, let's just find it next time- The sun is setting.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
No.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Let's go guys, don't be a baby.
They sigh in defeat and roam around the forest again, looking for a miracle to happen with Xavier's love life.
He looked at Violette again, it was like it was a whole different person that kissed her.
When they reach the entrance, they were shocked that there were two people in red full body suits are attacking them! She quickly grab the girls backward while the boys went forward to fight the attackers! But quite some time, the girls also fought too, because the boys are badly injured and barely fighting back for us. She was punched and got her hair pulled back but still fought back, how could she ever give up when her friends are also fighting for their lives?
Kit shouted as they noticed that five more attackers are coming. She grabbed Daphine who's patting and badly punched on the face. They ran for their lives.
Gone
Daphine Jane Astoria
*Stumbled*
Dove Paloma
Damn! stand up, Daph!
Footsteps getting closer.
Kit Paloma
Let's go.. I'll carry you-
Daphine Jane Astoria
No! Just leave! I- I can't move my body-
Daphine Jane Astoria
*Pushes Kit*
Violet Everton
Let's go! I can see the masked men! *Grab Xavier's arm*
As they ran away, the footsteps kept closer and closer, and it suddenly stops.
Dove looked back, it was almost Daphine was never there.
Dove Paloma
*Suddenly stopped and started panting*
Piercy Quin Gilmore
Don't stop, Dove! They're still chasing us!
Piercy Quin Gilmore
*Grabbed her arms and started running with her again*
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
(Why do I feel different? Violet was just holding my arms..)
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
*Looked at Violette*
As they kept running and running, they reached a place wherein it's a perfect place for camping. Wide, woods scattered everywhere, and stones gathered in the middle.
Piercy sat down in the woods, along with Dove who's crying in fear. Kit also stumbled near Piercy.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Calm down, Kit.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Shouting won't do anything-
Violet Everton
But it can ease the pain he's feeling.
No one moved for a long time. The forest became quite, too quite that they felt that the atmosphere was depressing.
Dove Paloma
I can't accept that she's gone...
Piercy Quin Gilmore
*Hugged her*
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
We can't stay here. *Stand up*
Violet Everton
Maybe. So... where?
Silence occurred in the moment.
Violette was too quiet, she hasn't spoken, not even once. All she does was standing, infront the trees where Daphine stumbled.
And, Xavier noticed. He went to her and called for her,
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Violette.
She didn't look at him, not even once.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Hey- We need to think-
Violette de Amore
About what?! About how she's gone?!
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
I didn't mean-
Violette de Amore
I know what you meant.
Violette de Amore
Let's just go.
They kept walking and walking around that forest, hoping for a miracle to come, a place to stay.
Then they found a spot, they knew it wasn't safe, but what else can they do? They don't have any choice. It was just a bit less exposed than the other spot they've seen.
Piercy Quin Gilmore
Drink this *Handed Dove a water*
Dove Paloma
Thanks, Piere.
Violette de Amore
You okay?
Dove Paloma
Yeah, I'm fine..
Kit Paloma
You don't look fine.
Piercy Quin Gilmore
Hey... breathe, inhale.... exhale....
Violette de Amore
....That doesn't seem normal.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
She's probably exhausted. *Crosses his arms and leaned into the tree*
And Dove's fingers twitched uncontrollably.
Violette de Amore
Did you guys see that?
Violette de Amore
Nevermind.
But she was sure, she definitely saw someone behind the trees. A familiar figure, it's standing still.
Violette de Amore
Daphine..
Kit Paloma
DON'T JOKE LIKE THAT!
Violette de Amore
I'M NOT!
Violette de Amore
I SAW IT! SHE WAS THERE-
Piercy Quin Gilmore
She's gone.
Piercy Quin Gilmore
She's gone, Violette.
Then, Violet stepped forward, slowly.
Violet Everton
Where did you see her?
Violette de Amore
*Pointed behind the trees* There.
They all looked but there was nothing in there.
Violette de Amore
It didn't felt like memories.. It felt like she was still there.
Violet Everton
Or something that looks like her is.
Lavinia
Xavier suddenly hold his head.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
I-
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
I just-
Then his breathing became unstable.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
I remember something.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Before we got here, I saw someone standing infront the forest..
There was silence that hugged them when he hesitated to say who.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Lavinia..
Piercy Quin Gilmore
That doesn't make sense.
Piercy Quin Gilmore
She was with us the whole time before she disappeared.
Piercy Quin Gilmore
Wait.. Where did she even go?
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
*Sigh* I know. But I saw her. I really saw her standing in the forest.
Violet Everton
Before we entered?
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
*Nods*
Violette de Amore
(Something's wrong.)
Far away from the place they are staying, Lavinia standing alone. The forest around her was darker and quieter.
Lavinia Victoriania
You followed me.
Violet Everton
I didn't. You stopped where I knew you would.
Lavinia Victoriania
What do you want to say? *Faced her and let out a sigh*
Violet Everton
You felt it too, didnt you?
Lavinia Victoriania
Felt what?
Violet Everton
The shift, obviously.
Violet Everton
And you ran away. Leaving us behind-
Lavinia Victoriania
Correction, I left. Not ran.
Violet Everton
That's the same thing! Why did you do it!?
Lavinia Victoriania
Because something's wrong. *Turned her back against her*
Violet Everton
Something's always wrong, Lavinia. Always.
Lavinia Victoriania
No. Not like this, you don't get it Violet-
Lavinia Victoriania
It changed.
Violet Everton
Change what? and how? Explain it to me, Lav.
Lavinia Victoriania
I can't.. I'm not going back, Violet. Leave me alone.
Violet Everton
Even if they died?
Lavinia Victoriania
*Paused.*
Lavinia Victoriania
That's why I can't.. *Whispered*
Morning passed and Piercy and Xavier went to the forest to gather resources.
Only Violette, Violet, Kit, and Dove are in the spot, building some sort of camping tent using woods and leaves.
Then, Dove leaned against the tree, her breathing slowly became complicated.
Kit Paloma
Hey, sis.. What's happening to you again?
Dove Paloma
*Looked at him*
Violette de Amore
Are you alright?
Kit Paloma
*Put his hands on her forehead* She's burning! She wasn't like this earlier!
Then her finger twitched again.
Violet Everton
It's too fast..
Kit Paloma
*Frowned* Too fast what?
Violet Everton
It's starting. *Whispered*
Violette de Amore
Hey, Dove? *Kneeled infront of her*
Violette de Amore
Can you hear me?
Dove Paloma
*Tilt her head slowly* I can hear you.
Kit Paloma
Nah- This... This isn't normal-
Then Dove held his arms, it was too tight.
Kit Paloma
Oww! I was just.... joking!
Dove Paloma
It hurts.... *Whispered*
Piercy Quin Gilmore
We're getting further and further, yet we can't see anything useful.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Hm.. Maybe a lake would be useful, if we found a fishes.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Water will be filtered so it would be edible to drink.
Piercy Quin Gilmore
That's right, but, there's no bodies of water in sight. *Sigh*
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Wait- Did you see that?
Piercy Quin Gilmore
See what? *Look towards his eyes direction* Man, there's nothings in there-
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Nah. I saw it, both of my eyes saw it.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
....
Piercy Quin Gilmore
Goddamn. Now you're not answering. Cool, let's just go back, you're starting to creep the fuck out of m-
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Lavinia. I saw her.
Piercy Quin Gilmore
What? *Laughs* She left us.
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Because she knew something! *Looks at him*
Piercy Quin Gilmore
She knew yet she left us all alone in his damn forest that is playing with our lives. Cool. Great friend, she is, right?
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
Don't talk shit about her. *Glare at him*
Piercy Quin Gilmore
Why? Do you still think she's your true lo-
Xavier Theodore Sylvester
*Grab his collar and about to punch him*
