Chapter 6 - Chapter V

"Alex! Quit being a buzzkill and get over here!"Ron shouted,laying down the one of his cards

Alex rolled his eyes "Remind me why I still hang out with you guys..."He mumbled, flipping through the next page in his book.

"Cause we are awesome!" Ron laughed throwing the rest of his cards down "Ha! I won!" He cheered "Now pay up Trevor"Ron smirked at the boy in front of him

Trevor hissed a bunch of insults,throwing a small bag of coins on the table.

"And you to, Arnold" Ron said, kicking up his feet

Arnold growled.

Alex sighed, flipping through to another page.

"You still thinking about that incident?" Arnold asked, placing his money on the table "Seriously Alex? Just let it go dude, it happened like months ago"

"A week ago!" Alex snapped, slamming his book close "A week ago since Ron!-", he turned to Ron "Assaulted someone!"

Ron scowled "It wasn't on purpose"

"Still, you broke into her house!"

"Oh, like you did!"

Alex looked away in shame "And that was stupid of me, I admit, but-"

"See?" Trevor said shuffling the cards "You admit it, now let it go"

"Agreed" Arnold nodded "Now quit ruining the fun"

"You know what" Alex stood up from where he was sitting "I can't do this anymore!", He stormed to the door, opening it "Hanging out with you guys was the biggest mistake I have ever made!" He hissed before slamming the door behind him

"His loss"Ron scoffed

Both Trevor and Arnold nodded in agreement.

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

"Welp! I'm heading out for the night" Ron stretched as he stood up. Grabbing his winnings;placing it in his bag.

"Already?"Trevor laughed standing up as well;Arnold following.

"Yes, already" Ron rolled his eyes "Don't want baggage under my eyes" He sighed, already opening the door. "Later" he said, closing the door behind him.

Ron whistled a tune as he made his way down the cobblestone road.

He watched as the streetlights started flickering. It always has been lately. Didn't bother him, but for some reason, Ron just couldn't help but feel nervous.

And he hated it...

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

Amara awoke with a gasp, sitting upward.

Still dark outside;Amara stood up, wrapping her hair in a long pony. Making her way down the stairs, with a lit candle.

She looked around,noticing her father was nowhere in the house

He must have gone to work... She thought;making her way to the kitchen

She looked out the window, She smiled when spotting her garden.

Despite most of the roses brutal fate, The garden have been recovering quite nicely after a week.

Putting on a small shawl, Amara stepped outside towards the garden.

She made her way to the most reddest rose there is. The petals soft and smooth to the touch.

Amara sat down, admiring her work.

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

Malefic growled, looking down at the mess,

This is only the start of fixing other's mistakes

Looking down at the corner of the table, he gripped to what he was holding; tightly, Before slamming it down harshly on the corner.

*Crack*

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

Amara's eyes widened as she stared at the rose.

A glowing mist came up from every crest of the rose. It was memorizing, and beautiful, creating a glowing butterfly made from the mist.

The butterfly circled around her

Amara couldn't help but feel confused at how it happened so suddenly.

One moment she was just sitting down practically dozing off, then all of a sudden the rose began glowing.

But no matter how much it has a beautiful appearance. Amara couldn't help but feel like something is wrong.

Very wrong....
