Feather's Point of View

Ki grabbed my wrist.

"You two! Come here. I'm taking you guys with us." Ki barked towards Sebastian and Smador. They both hesitantly walked toward us.

"Are you okay?" I ask softly. He stops abruptly and looks at me.

"Yes." He replied, pulling out a magic mirror.

Everyone put there hand on the magic mirror.

I felt my body drop onto the familiar wooden floor. Home sweet home....

I pulled myself up and threw my bag onto my bed. It took me a moment to realize Brandon wasn't in the room.

I turned around to face Sebastian and Smador.

"You two. Get out. Find your rooms on the top floor. I want to find Brandon!" I squeal.

I start pushing the two out of my room.

"Bye bye. Talk to you later, Get out. Thank you. Kay thanks bye." I shut the door behind them.

Ki chuckled.

"You must be pretty eager to see Brandon.... Huh?" Ki asks, smiling. I nod.

"Oooooooooooo Ki is jealous!" I hear Sebastian say on the other side of the door.

Ki growled and charged towards the door.

I put my hand on his shoulder.

"It's not worth it..." I whisper. Ki turned around and raised an eyebrow. His eyes fell as he sighed.

"You're right."

I pulled him into a hug.

"I never got the chance to tell you this..... But thank you.... For everything..... Saving me, Healing me...." I trailed off.

"Heh.... N-no problem, Really..."

I pulled away and noticed a faint blush on his face.

"Now. Go see your..... Boy friend....." Ki teased. My jaw dropped as he snickered.

"HEY!" I whined,"You're just as bad as Sebastian!"

"But I look better while doing it." Ki countered as he winked.

"Goodbye, Feather." He said.

"Goodbye, Ki."

And just like that.... He was gone.

Alright. Time to find my Brandon....

I mean.... Brandon...

Not 'my' Brandon...

....

Yeah.

I opened the door and walked down the hallway.

My fist lightly knocked on Molly's door.

It open after a moment to reveal Darius. He looked startled.

"Oh! Feather! You're.. Uh... Back...That's... Uhh.. Pretty nice..." Darius said.

"Hi Darius! Um... Have you seen Brandon?" I ask.

"Um..... I think he went outside...Y-yeah..." He stuttered. Outside....

"Okay! Thanks Darius!" I continue down the hall.

"No problem....."

I open the front door and step out into the sunlight.

Ahhhh.... It's been a while since I've been outside. My arms stretch upwards.

"MAXX??" I heard a familiar voice call out.

Brandon.

His voice came from the woods.

Without second thought, I jogged into the woods.

"BRANDON???" I shout.

He's got to be around here somewhere....

All of a sudden, I heard a rustling in the bushes. In an instant, My cutlass rests in my hands.

The chances of anything hostile being out during the day is slim.....

But I won't take that chance.

A furry object bursts from the bushes.

"AAAAHHHHH!" I close my eyes and swing my cutlass.

"Squeak?"

I crack open my eyes to see Maxx, sitting on the ground.

I exhaled roughly.

"You scared the living daylights out of me!" I say.

"Squeak. Squeak!" Maxx replied. I pick him up and set him on my head.

"Come on, you little pipsqueak! Let's go find Brandon!"

Hours later......

"BRANDON! BRANDON!"

"SQUEAK!!!"

We've been wandering around for about two hours, and yet, no sign of Brandon.

...... Where is he??

Brandon's Point of View

Come on, keep it together.

My teeth gritted against eachother as my skin was laced with fire. I let out a scream as I collapsed onto the ground, my flesh burning.

It hurts.....

No..... This can't be happening now! The sun is about to set!

I feel a layer of skin singed off. A few patches of skin already burned to reveal charred muscle.

I have to find Maxx!

I knew it was a mistake letting my little cinnamon squeaker play with those bunnies!

And where did that get me?

Being charred alive in the middle of the woods.

I let out another agonizing scream as the burning sensation traveled through my body. 

"BRANDON???" A melodious voice called out.

No.....

It can't be---

"Feather?" I reply weakly.

"BRANDON!" Feather screamed.

No....

She can't see me this way....

I crane my neck slightly to see her standing a few feet away, her hand covering her mouth.

"B-Brandon?" She asked, unsure of what she was seeing.

"Feather......." I whisper.

She's b-back.....

"Squeak?" 

I look up and see Maxx, resting on her head.

She rushed over towards me and dropped onto her knees.

"B-Brandon.... Oh... M-my g-gosh..." She spoke.

The burning stopped.

I faced her and frowned.

"I-I'm sorry..."

Feather's eyes widened, I could see tears forming.

"Whatever for??? I need to get you up.."  She panicked.

"Please don't die...."

Golly gee! Wasn't that depressing?
