Chapter 20 - The broken cliff

"Hey, Cosmo you want to go pick some berries with me now?" she asked,

"Is this a date?" Cosmo asked,

"Date, my foot" she responded and the girl laughed,

"Okay fine, I will go with you but just the two of us," Cosmo said,

"Fine I could do that much for you" she replied with a sigh,

"Come on get up, you need some fresh air," Cosmo said as she helped Lilith up.

"Thanks, I feel a lot better than before, is my back healing?" Lilith asked and Cosmo lifted her dress,

"Yeah it is healing, by the end of the week you will be fine" Cosmo responded,

"Ah thanks, oh and Cosmo please keep away from my father, I notice he keeps looking at you, I feel he might want to question you," she said and the dragon girl sighed,

"Don't worry I can handle your father" she replied as they walked down the stair.

"Lilith where are you going?" her mother asked,

"The forest, I want to pick some berries mom" she responded,

"Take a guard with you and not some peasant," her father said and the princess sighed,

"Cosmo is coming with me, hit me if you want but I trust her with my life and I do not need a guard" the princess replied and Cosmo gasped,

"Fine then you are not going anywhere," he said and she smiled,

'Try and stop me then" she replied as she grabbed onto Cosmo's hand and pulled her down the stair then walked out of the castle while her friends left staring.

"What has gotten into her?" Jasmine asked,

"Well I think that Cosmo is a bad influence, she will get the princess in more trouble eventually" Vivian responded as she raised her left brow.

"You are going to get in serious trouble with your father," Cosmo said as Lilith got onto her horse and Cosmo got onto hers.

'As far as I am concern my father can go to hell" she replied as her eyes glowed pink and Cosmo swallowed deeply as they rode off.

"That's anger in her eyes, if she does not calm down things can get really bad the power of the pink phoenix is not one to underestimate," Cosmo said to herself as they entered the forest and headed the sounds of pixies for it was a magical forest and the sunlight shone beautifully on the flower petals of the red lily's, one of the rarest flowers.

"It is beautiful here," Cosmo said,

"Yeah and peaceful" Lilith replied as she got off the horse and a flying rabbit came to her and rubbed itself on the princess's face.

"The creatures here trusts you," Cosmo said,

"Yeah I have been coming here since I was just a little girl" she replied as she picked an apple and threw it to Cosmo and she caught it.

"Nice catch," the princess said and Cosmo smiled wickedly.

"You know princess things will start changing in your life," Cosmo said,

'I know but I do not care whether it is for bad or good" she replied with tears in her eyes.

"Are you scared, your highness?" Cosmo asked,

'No I am not, I just hate my life a lot" she responded and the dragon sighed,

'My brother was right you are broken from the inside and outside" Cosmo said to herself as she hugged the princess from behind and Lilith's eyes widened.

Cosmo hugged her tighter and Lilith felt different, the girl felt her stomach tightening as she held Cosmo's hand.

'What the hell is this?" Lilith asked herself as she moved Cosmo's hands from around her and smiled.

"Let's get what we came from and leave," Lilith said as she grabbed her bag that was on the horse and started picking the different berries.

"She is avoiding me," Cosmo said to herself while smiling.

Lilith then raised up and went to the cliff that had a perfect view of the ocean.

"Lilith do not go too close, the water is really brought, the waves are monstrous," Cosmo said as Lilith looked at the bright sky while standing really close to the edge of the cliff.

"I will be fine, are you afraid of water Cosmo?" Lilith asked and the girl frowned unable to answer the princess's question.

"I guess I am" she responded.

'Okay stay there and play with the wolves, I will look at the rough waves" she said smiling.

A little while later the clouds got really dark and lighting started to flash.

Cosmo swallowed in fear.

"Lilith please come back here, this is a little too sudden, this does not feel right," Cosmo said,

'Okay I am coming" Lilith said and as she was about to walk back the lighting struck the cliff and the princess screamed as the piece of the cliff started to crack.

'Lilith" Cosmo shouted as the cliff broke apart and the girl slipped holding onto the edge of the cliff.

"Cosmo" she shouted as she held on but her hand was slipping and below her was a bunch of pointed rocks with huge waves so if she fell she would definitely die and as a phoenix, she does not know much about her powers, therefore, cannot fly.

'Hold on, I am coming" Cosmo said as she jumped over the cliff and onto the piece that was falling into the ocean.

As she jumped the girl's hand slipped and she was about to fall but Cosmo grabbed onto her hand and pulled her up, she then hugged Cosmo.

"Th.... thank you," she said,

"You are welcome, do me a favor and close your eyes if this piece of the cliff break we will both die," Cosmo said,

"Okay" Lilith replied as she closed her eyes and Cosmo placed her hand around the girl's waist and Cosmo started to float in the air and within the blink of an eye, they were on the safe side of the cliff.

'We are fine now" Cosmo said and the princess opened her eyes.

"How did we get over?" the princess asked and the cliff broke apart and fell into the oven and Lilith grabbed onto Cosmo's hand.

'Never mind I do not care how let's go" she said as she pulled the girl by the hand then Cosmo laughed and they walked away.
