GREAT SEARCH: FINDING GROSS 2

"Great!". Moving further

Night fall, set fire. Sitting calmly. Distance footsteps from the woods, moving closer and faster towards her. Standing guard. Jumped out.

"Elena!".

"It's you! what are you doing here?". She asked

"I came to look for something".

"Liar!".

"I came to look for the thing you're looking for… so".

"Okay we're close". She said sat down.

Sat slowly, next to her. Confused look

"We… what do you mean we?".

"Me and you…. ain't you looking for Gross. It's a long journey, barely 4days, and they'll be gone, forever. It's up to you and me". she said touching Anita's hands. Drew the back quickly. She got up

"You've been here before. You can't be here again".

"What are you talking about?". she gets up

"I can't watch my grandson's die, and do nothing. So, I had to find a way".

"Liar!". She said.

Walked away, without looking back. Elena kept on calling, till she eventually disappeared.

Immediately she did, a loud wail. Holding her ears tight. Strong wind, blowing dust. She started cough, then realize she's not in the woods again. Coughing seriously. Slowly going down. Placed both hands on the ground. The wind grew stronger, so as the dust. She gaps for breath, crawling forward. Coughing seriously. Looked at her surrounding, notice everywhere calm. Standing in front of her. 3women, wearing with garments, their faces were unseen. Getting up slowly.

"Here, have some water". They echoed, sounding unison

"Thank you!". she collected the water. About to drink, observe.

"Here, i-I don't want to drink".

"Why!".

"You… guys are my obstacles".

"Ain't, they supposed to be familiar. Do we look familiar?".

"You're familiar spirits!!!". She said to herself continuously.

Minutes later, she opened her eyes, saw them, still standing there.

"Why haven't' you guys disappear".

"They're going to die, not even you can stop it". Moving further, trying to strangle Anita. Touch their garment. Her eyes turn white. Back to the past.

Fb ends. "You! curse them. But why! You're not familiar spirits you're here to stop me, so they would die". Shudders

"Smart kid". They said and disappeared.

"What!". she gasps. "Oh my God!". She exclaims.

Moving further

"I should have drunk that water, now am taste". She said to herself

The further she got, the darker it became. Closer she is to the cure. So dark, that each step she took, green flowers, glowing pops up. So amused. Looking around, then said to herself.

"Are this what am looking for, like I can just pluck any". she said. Tried to move, her feet were stuck to the ground. Weird laughter.

"I see! Fegrance made it this far". She said aloud

Appeared in front of her

"You can't use magic here!".

"Well, I came this far".

"You made it this far".

"We made it this far". Tegrance unveil herself

"Oh! I see. You're all familiar. Bye! See you in the real world". She yelled from a distance.

Looking at each other and disappeared.

Now the entire place, filled with grass, glowing grass. She couldn't even see herself, just trees.

Marana, the garden watcher appeared. Tall, fair skin, oval face shape lady. Brown hazel eyes. Round lips. Staring at Anita.

"What do you want?". She asked. frustrating sigh

"I, want to pluck something from your garden, my friends are dying".

"You made it this far".

"I guess so!".

"They sent a human".

"Am changing. I don't know how long I have, but if am to go back it should be now". She added

Warm smile and she disappeared.

"Oh my god!". She exclaims as she walks into the garden.

Pluck as many as she need

"Isn't this easy… I thought zyron said I would die, there's no one to kill me".

"Are you sure". Standing behind her. Anita stands erect, turned back in shock of hearing Zyron's voice

"You came". She said she rush to meet her.

Zyron smiled at Marana.

"You… disobedient child… you're going to die here". Making it sound like she didn't mean it.

Chuckles. "I had to, for my friends. And I made it". Wiggling the leave.

"It won't work...".

"What do you mean?".

"You have the leaves! you don't have Gross".

"What's Gross?". She asked. Both stared at their right, saw Gross staring back at them.

"It's right there". About to take a step and Zyron held her arm. Looked, slowly at her arm.

"Are you not supposed to be death, you don't have anything with the living. You're a familiar spirit. You've been here before. You made it this far; you knew where the cure was. You were literally there when the curse was placed. You died for them. Why didn't give them the cure?".

"A lot of question, still to remain unanswered". She said. Brought out a dagger, stabbed Anita stomach repeatedly. While her grip on Anita was so strong. Struggled and slip. Her slightest chance she rushed to where Gross was and grabbed him.

Appeared in Richards room…...
