At about day 590 or something like that, i heard a loud knock on the door. This was something strange because it never happened before. I looked at Johanna thinking that mabye she invited Cam here and he is at the door, but whe was completely absorbed in to a book and she ignored me, like she was usually doing.

I didn't say a word, hoping that the person that was at the door will go away, but it didn't.

"Girls? Are you in here?" i heard a sweet voice that of a woman that i didn't reconized. So clearly it wasn't Cam or any of the dreamaros we were already knowing. The woman knocked one more time, and, again, we didn't answer. She continued knocking for a couple seconds and finally Johanna looked annoyed and shouted

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM MY LIFE, WOMAN?" as "peacefull" as anybody could say this.

The woman finally entered, after a few moments of hesitation. Her hair was colored in different shades of royal blue and it had perfect curls. She had black big eyes that could barely be seen by the long, fake eyelashes and the tons of makeup she was wearing. She was also holding a small purse with pearls and diamonds all over it. The cherry on the cake was a black really puffy and shinny dress that could fit perfectly at the grammy's* on one of that girls that don't know what they can do with they're millions of dollars anymore (or to a depressed bride) and some really glittery shoes.

Her oufit was a bit too much, too expensive (as i trought becouse i could see famous logos like the two c that were representing chanel, the l and v that were representing louis vuitton and other ones on her shoes, dress and purse) and too glittery if you ask me. Probably Johanna thought the same thing because she said

"Okay, who the heck are you and why are you dressed in that horrible oufit? If you didn't realised this yet i think it would be helpful for you to know that you look like a clown that just escaped from the circus, so go change in to something else before the other clowns try and catch you and force you to clean elephant poop."

The woman looked offended, but didn't said anything, probably becsuse she was too scared that Johanna will give her another epic reckt about her clothes/makeup/face.

After she (the woman, not Jo) opened and closed her mouth - probably trying to say something- like a fish on dry land, finally managed to say something

"Well... Uhmm... Hello, girls! My name is Berry (so THAT'S why her hair was blue!) and i am here to give you a message from the... ummm... welll... your friends, i guess, the dreamaros. They want you to know that you should pack your bags. And with "pack your bags" i mean, pack everything you think you will need or what has a sentimental value to you. Don't pack the things that you think you won't need, they will be useless."

"Okay,but if we don't know where we are going than how can we decide what's useless and what's not? I mean, if we go to a beach, sky suits will be useless and if we go to the top of a mountain, swimsuits would only be good to use as a cloth, so, where are we going?" i asked, trying to be polite after what Johanna said to her, bacause i trought that like this i would get a answer.

Of course, i didn't got any answer and Berry just said that we should pack for any ocasion.

After we packed up basically all the stuff we had in our room (books, makeup, blankets, clothes, etc), we went outside, for the first time in almost two years. As i said before, it had a huge garden. Anyways, it was amazing, all those beautiful-colored flowers and birds, the sounds of the nature and the sun being an white sphere on the pastel-blue sky with big fluffy clouds that looked like you could sit on them. My childhood dream was to live on a cloud. How stupid I was!

Before we could finish admiring the amazing view, the dreamaros dragged us in a huge limuzine. I was absolutely impressed. It was really long and black, and looked exactly like how they look in cartoons.

The inside was even more gorgeous; it had a really fluffy couch, a table, a small drink bar and...

Cam.

In the moment he saw us, he turned his head in the opposite direction, looking on the window.

"Well, well, well, look who's there! Did you had a nice time with that crazy little girl? Or did you preferred being alone, only you and your mad troughts? Or, let me guess, you learned the girl whitout a tongue to speak?" Johanna said sarcastically

Cantik looked embarrassed, and didn't dare to look at us. His face was all red and actes like me and Johanna weren't just normal people, he was as scared as he would be in front of a giant monster.

" Well, uhm... Hi, girls...Please don't get me wrong, i wanted to come back but... Ummm.... The dreamaros or whatever was they're name, er- didn't allowed me to. I'm sorry, i... " he said, hesitating to some words.

Neither me or Johanna belived a word of what he said. In our opinion, he was a cowardly idiot that just wanted to get rid of all of his problems by running away.

Mabye you are asking why are we so mad at him just because he leaved and didn't come back. Well, if he would stay or come back, than we could understand the book. Yes, that book. We could read it, but being able to read is not the same thing as being able to understand. As i saw, he coild understand the book and it's meanings. But no, he decided to run away from the danger that he trought it was a huge dagger, but it was actually just a small butter knife. His strength was bigger than his mind, if we would use the book, everything would be allright now. But of course, it's my fault and Jo's fault too, I don't blame Cam for everything. I just say that it was easier if he was helping us. I'm just saying, you can choose not to belive me, but that's your choice, and not my problem.

Anyways, later, the dreamaros bringed Renna in to the limousine too. I was shocked.

She was not looking like she was 10 anymore, she looked...

Old...

Her pupils turned almost red, while she had black bags under her eyes. Her hair was not shiny and black anymore, it was some kind of dark gray and matte. Her skin was as pale as the skin of a corpse, marble white.

Renna looked now like a ghost, not the cute and normal (kind of) child i remembered.

What surprised me was the fact that she was the only one who changed, me Johanna and Cantik still looked the same as we were when we first meet the dreamaros, exept Johanna, wich anyways only had a different haircut.

Even Cam (wich, if you remember, stayed in the same room as Renna for the past almost 2 years) looked surprised and a bit scared. This maked me think a lot. There were only 2 possibilities left :

1. Cam and Renna weren't actually in the same room/didn't saw eachother

2. They tortured Renna or something like that and maked her look like this.

I forced myself to belive number one, even though it was hard, because i was knowing that if they tortured her, they can also torture us.

"Everybody is ready?"

I forgot Berry was there. The sunlight went straight on her face, wich maked her makeup look brighter.

"Well, please sit down, we need to go, we are already late!"

Renna wanted to sit down, but in that moment she saw Cantik and her face went even more pale, if this is even possible. She maked a step back, but she only hit the wall of the limousine.

This meaned another possibility :

3. Cam was the ine who tortured her.
