Chapter 79 - 80th Shades

Suddenly the evil shades seemed all to look at Dark Dark, Frosty and Phoenix. Dark's heartbeat went faster and he started to get nervous. One of the shadows flew infront of Frosty and seemed to analyse her. She didn't moved but had a threatening look in her eyes.

Then the shade faded right in front of her. It vanished. Gone. Frosty was surpried. She was pretty sure it would attack her but it faded away. In the next few seconds the other evil shades around them faded too. They all disappeared. What was that? Was there some greater danger? Were the shadows afraid of something? Dark Dark and Phoenix were surpised too. They all looked around. The shades were gone. Only the trees of the woods were around them. What now?

Frosty strugged her shoulders. "Well...", she began.

"What was that?", Phoenix asked confused and kept searching the trees with her eyes.

"I don't know...", Dark Dark replied. "Do you think... they were all that scared of me? We didn't even start to fight?", Frosty wondered. Dark Dark thought about it but had no idea. "Let's just move on then", Phoenix suggested.

Frosty agreed:"yeah..."

"That was so weird. Why did they all fade away?", Dark Dark questioned.

"I don't know", Frosty said without looking at him.

She was nervous but hid it, got to stay confident. Frosty was the kind of person that never showed fear. Fear was weakness and Frosty was everything but weak. She was one of the most powerful of all the people. Also she hardly showed any emotions. No fear, no sadness, no joy. Only anger sometimes when she got pissed about something or someone. Then one wouldn't want to be near her.

But things changed in the last year. Since she spent more time with Dark Dark she got nicer and more caring, not only about him but also about her sister Menace, Dark Dark's best friend, his sister Phoenix and also about herself. Frosty was more thoughtful. What if I just talked to my sister today? I hardly talk with her, I'm just mostly on my own, I like it but sometimes it's boring. Or what if I was less cold to my brother Trick? What if I was more caring? What if I just talk normally to my fighting partner Dark Dark, instead of just playing with him and enjoying his fear in a fight? What if I try to be diffrent? Change myself a little?

Frosty really cared about Dark Dark. She believed in him, which he didn't really did in himself. That was the diffrence, the beginning. He thought he was weak and he couldn't get stronger when training with Frosty but she was the only one who could really challenge him. She always threw him that hard on the ground, so he got angry and he wanted to beat her. But he never did.

After time he felt hopeless but Frosty still believed in him. She tried to build him up and fell for him. Dark Dark was confused at first but didn't wanted to disappoint or reject her, so he gave it a chance. A chance which lend him to fall in love with her too. So their relationship went on for over a month now and they were a good team and started to become friends who really liked to spend time with each other. The both of them were really curious to really get to know each other and experience different things together.

Phoenix, Dark Dark and Frosty were on their way to pick some fruits because this was the reason they came here in the first place. After a while they arrived at a part of the forest with some apple and mango trees. Carefully Dark Dark and Phoenix picked some fruits by jumping up trees and collecting them. Meanwhile Frosty watched them a little, climbed up a tree then and took some mangos too.

They moved on to the cherry and banana trees after. When they had twenty of bananas and about hundred of cherries in their bags, they went to the pineapple and orange trees. Frosty climbed up a tree and took some oranges. Phoenix picked pineapples and put them in her bag. Dark Dark moved on a little further to some bushes with redberries and collected some to put them in a small bag. As Phoenix had her bag full of pinapples she helped Frosty to picked some more oranges. When they all had enough fruits and all bags were full, they made their way back to the building.
