"Curtis, you can't be doing that right now, you are only encouraging her, this is way too dangerous, come back here right now" said Maddie as she could not believe this, both Annie and Curtis were crazy, anything could go wrong on that seriously unsafe rope, the arrow could get unpinned from the tree, or worse.
"Maddie, just relax" said Curtis as he replied and the kept on moving along the rope little by little without looking down at all.
"Wow, relax, relax, I guess that I am the only sensible person here" said Maddie as she scoffed, she gave up, she was living with a bunch of crazy people, Maddie was just so worried, this was real life, they did not have a second chance, or a restart button, this wasn't a game if they fell, then they fell for good.
"There you go Curtis" said Annie as she smiled and she helped Curtis up as he successfully crossed to the other side.
"See Maddie, it's safe, come on" said Annie as she shouted to Maddie and Maddie just looked at her, wondering why she was like this.
"You are crazy Annie, crazy, that thing is so unsafe" said Maddie as she shouted back.
"Come on Maddie, we need to save Matt, no matter what, besides, it's safe, relax" said Annie as she smiled and Maddie scoffed.
"Come on Maddie, go on, if Curtis and Annie made it across safely, then you will too" said Ollie as Maddie turned to look at him.
"Oh shut up blondie, I was not talking to you" said Maddie as she walked past Ollie to the rope as Ollie sighed, of course, he was just tired by now of Maddie's mean attitude towards him.
"I guess that I am the only sensible person here, just great" said Maddie as she held the rope.
"Well here goes everything" said Maddie to herself as she sighed and she dropped down as she held on to the rope.
She could not believe that she was doing this right now, her heart was pounding, she could feel her legs dangling in nothing but the air, and she of course knew that if she happened to accidentally let go, that would be her unfortunate end.
Maddie slowly let go of the rope with her one hand to move on further as she did so, and she took deep breaths, making sure not to dare look down at all, she was not someone who was scared of heights, but this, this was something else entirely.
Maddie kept on moving slowly and slowly until she reached the end of the rope and she sighed in relief as she climbed up and she sighed.
"Annie, if you ever, and I mean ever, so something crazy like that again, you won't like me" said Maddie as she sighed and she looked at Annie as she frowned at her.
"Oh come on Maddie, relax, it's perfectly safe" said Annie as she smiled and Maddie scoffed.
"Hey Blondie, you are delaying us, get over here" said Maddie as she looked to the other end and she shouted at Ollie as he rolled her eyes at her.
"Says the girl who was the one more scared than any of us to go across" said Ollie as he scoffed.
"Oh you shut up" said Maddie as Ollie just ignored her and he walked to the rope as he quickly held on it to and he dropped down as he swiftly moved along the rope as if he had done this before many times.
"Hey what's that" asked Annie as she heard a loud sound from the distance.
"I don't know" said Curtis as both he and Annie looked to the distance as they walked to check what they heard as Maddie looked over there as well, but something told her to look back at Ollie as in the same moment, as Ollie was about to reach from the rope to climb up the rope suddenly snapped, and Maddie did not know how she got down fast enough to hold Ollie's hand as he was about to fall.
"Oh gosh, oh gosh" said Maddie as she was holding on to Ollie.
"Help, you guys, help" said Maddie as she shouted, but Ollie hand was slipping through hers.
"Oh my gosh… you are slipping" said Maddie as she panicked as she did not think that Annie and Curtis heard her.
"Oh Blondie, hold on, hold on, don't you dare let go" said Maddie as she was thinking of what to do, Ollie was hanging on to her for his dear life.
"*Ugh*" groaned Maddie as she used her two hands to hold on to Ollie, Ollie was trying his best to remain calm, because panicking would make this worse, and Maddie was already panicking.
"Goodness, okay, 3, 2, 1" said Maddie as she used all her strength to pull Ollie up on her own, as she fell backwards and Ollie landed on top of her.
Maddie sighed in relief, she did not know how she actually managed to pull Ollie up herself.
"So you don't actually wish me dead" said Ollie as he smiled and he started into Maddie's eyes as she looked at him.
"I save you from impending doom, and that's the first thing you say" said Maddie as she scoffed.
"You know what, get off me" said Maddie as she realized that Ollie was still on top of her, she was starting to regret saving him right about now.
"What happened?" asked Curtis as he and Annie walked back and Maddie quickly pushed Ollie off her as she stood up.
"The rope broke that's what" said Maddie in annoyance as she looked at Curtis and Annie.
"It did?" asked Annie In surprise.
"Take a look for yourself" said Maddie as she pointed.
"Do you see any rope, the blondie over here was climbing, the rope broke, and luckily, just luckily, I got a hold of him before he fell down and died" said Maddie as she was so tired right now.
"Oh my, Prince Oliver, are you alright?" asked Annie as she looked at Ollie.
"I'm just fine, you don't have to worry" said Ollie as he smiled.
"And I was telling you that rope was dangerous, we were only lucky that it broke when the blondie already crossed over, and you guys said that I was overreacting, I am the only sensible person here, without me, you all would have killed yourselves, for the love of all things sensible" said Maddie as she ranted and she walked ahead, she could not deal with this.
"Is she okay?" asked Ollie as he looked at Annie and Curtis.
"She will get over it soon" said Curtis as he replied and Annie sighed.
…
"Welcome my love" said Lilith as she smiled and she and Matt walked into a room with many vials and potions on shelves on the wall.
"This is my potions room, where I make my potions" said Lilith as Matt looked around the room.
"I see" said Matt as he looked at her.
"And this Is my seeing cauldron" said Lilith as she pointed to the cauldron in the middle of the room as she smiled.
"It was my mother's, come on my love, come and take a look" said Lilith as she held Matt's hand and she dragged him to the cauldron.
"From here, I can see anything and everything that happens down in the colony, so I don't have to go down" said Lilith as she dipped her hand in the cauldron full of water as she played with the water a bit and then in the same moment, the clear water began to be filled with images.
"Interesting" said Matt as he did not expect that to happen.
"Right my love, go on you can look through it, if you want to move to somewhere else, just move your hand like this" said Lilith as she demonstrated and she swiped her hand to the left.
"Okay" said Matt as he looked at the Cauldron he could see nothing in the images but rocks, he was looking for a way out of here, he swiped right three times, scanning the area, but he could see nothing at all, that made Matt sigh.
"My love, what's wrong?" asked Lilith as she heard Matt sigh.
"Nothing" said Matt.
"My love, if you don't feel well, you can go, I have some things to finish up here" said Lilith.
"Okay" said Matt as he walked out of the room and Lilith sighed as she looked through the cauldron and she gasped when she caught sight of four people walking.
"No, no, no way, why are they here?? Why?" asked Lilith as she shook her head.
"Lilith, are you alright?" asked Matt as he heard Lilith talking from the other room.
"I'm fine my love, I just… mixed the wrong potions, but I'm fine" said Lilith as she replied with a smile.
"Okay" said Matt as he did not think too much of it and he walked to the kitchen.
"No, no, I am not letting you take Matt away from me, no way" said Lilith as she lowered her voice and she walked to the window as she whistled and Elvis cawed as he flew down to the window.
"Boy, I need your help, there are some bad people you need to keep away, please keep them away, they are, very, very bad" said Lilith as Elvis cawed.
"Thank you boy, good boy, I will give you some treats later, go now" said Lilith as she patted Elvis on his head and he cawed as Elvis took flight and Lilith sighed in relief, she knew that Elvis would keep them away, there was no way that they were getting Matt and taking him away from her, no way.
"My love, let me make you some cookies" said Lilith as she smiled and she walked to the kitchen.
"Weren't you making some potions?" asked Matt as he looked at Lilith.
"I was, but I can do that later, let me take care of you now" said Lilith as she smiled and Matt just looked at her.
"Okay" said Matt.
…
"So you actually care about me Maddie" said Ollie as he smiled and he caught up to Maddie as she turned to look at him and she scoffed as she walked faster.
"You care about me" said Ollie as he smiled happily, the thought made him happy.
"Firstly, Blondie, I don't care about you" said Maddie as she stopped and she stopped walking and she turned to look at Ollie.
"But you don't actually wish me dead" said Ollie as he smiled and Maddie scoffed, she was regretting doing that right now.
