Alex & Olivia Past

"You can always tell us if you need any help. 

Remember that, Alex," Quartz chimed in. 

It wasn't that she didn't care about Alex.

Her mind was too busy thinking about what kind of monster they would need to better increase their odds of going to that place. 

She couldn't contain the excitement in her heart. 

She knew the chance they were alive was small. 

But alive or dead, she wanted to bring all of them home.

They then exchanged some more discussion before going on their own way, leaving only Alex and Olivia in the forest. 

Olivia's expression turned solemn. 

"Follow me."

Alex was puzzled by her sudden request but still followed her. 

They walked through the forest maze until they arrived at a clearing. 

In the middle was a tree slightly larger than the others, while many fireflies brightened the area with their light. 

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Olivia asked, smiling at Alex.
