Ansel released Mamock from the hug and sat back down on the bench, while Mamock stood there staring at him unbelievably.   "It's me Mams it's me" Ansel reassured her and a few stray tears made way to her tree face again, She let the tears roll as she grabbed him by the hand and headed straight to the field.   "Mamock what's wrong? Where are you dragging me to?" He asked as he stumbled on his toes.   "I'll like you to use the voice of the body you're in and just come with me, I just need a more private place" Mamock said, still dragging him.   Ansel took a deep breath and reverted his voice, making Elle's the dominant one.    "Good we are here" Mamock said out of breath. They both stood in front of the swing bed in total silence for a while before Mamock spoke up "what happened Ansel? And most importantly why are you in Elle's body?"   Ansel sighed and sa

"Ansel?" Elle called out as she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes meeting a flowery ceiling instead of the rocky cover of the cove like she expected."Wait! Where on Earth am I?" She jolted up from the bed looking around frantically when a sharp pain hit her chest "ow" she muttered; rubbing her chest slowly till the pain slowly disappeared.Elle slowly adjusted herself on the bed, her eyes wandering round the room and slowly taking in the view of the place she is in. It looks a lot like the room in the realm just a bit smaller, with more flowers and plants. Her eyes wandered to the door at the other end of the room and the other that stood a few feet away she from her.She stood up from the bed heading to the door closer to her when she stepped on something, earning scratches from the poor cat and a light scream from her as she jumped back on the bed. She stood on the bed breathing heavily, her hand on her chest trying to regulate her breathing.When she f

"I can't walk anymore, I'm so tired" Elle voiced out, completely spent after walking for over 30 minutes.Mamock turned to her with a glare and clenched fists "I told you that you don't have the right to complain, right?" Elle raised her hands and shook her head furiously."No.. I mean yes, you did tell me but you didn't tell me it's this hard!!" She whined causing Mamock to scoff."This isn't your first time of doing this! You should have known""Well I forgot!" Elle defended sharply."Why does this have to happen every year" she muttered quietly, sitting on the floor besides Elle "you act like it won't be a big deal to go to the warehouse, but then in the process you are the first to complain"Elle sighed, she didn't know Amanda was like this but it all works out in her favour anyway "well, you can't blame me for trying to be optimistic about this"Mamock released a deep breath and shook her head, rubbing her hands on her face "this

Mamock and Ansel stared wordlessly at a now lifeless Elle, both unable to speak or move. They stood on her bed side with tears streaming down their faces, each silently blaming their self.Ansel wiped away his tears and ran out of the building while Mamock just slumped and sat on the floor, tears still rolling down her face."Where is she!? Amanda!?" Mamock immediately placed her hands on her ears, covering it at the sound of Ruri's voice.Ruri ran into the room but halted at the sight of her friends dead, she choked out a sob before slowly walking to her "Amanda" she called out softly and patted her hair "you can hear me right? Amanda!" She called out louder, this time shaking her body.Rus immediately pulled her away from her as soon as he ran inside, "Ruri, she's.. she's gone" he whispered softly into her ears, trying to keep the tears from falling "we can't do anything about it now"All three of them stayed there with glossy eyes fixed on Elle,

"Lay down carefully and slowly," Mamock said as she helped Elle lay on the bed. "Common! I'm fine already, stop acting like this." Elle complained, refusing to lay down. She stared at the four people in her room that were looking at her with worried eyes "look, I'm fine! Nothing hurts, just let me go back to preparing for the festival." "No!" Mamock, Rus and Ruri chorused together. She sighed and laid down on the bed angrily. Mamock stared at her for a while before she sat down beside her on the bed "listen Amanda, the guardian's slash is not just something you recover from, you nearly died!" She exclaimed, holding Elle's face. "Scrap that Mams, she actually died. Whatever happened is still shocking," Rus added. Ruri sighed and sat beside Elle when she noticed nothing they were saying was affecting her, "Amanda, you are human. You tend to take more damages than us and get more affected, so please just rest. We can handle everything by ourselve
