I woke up the next morning with my waist and leg aching.

"Rise and shine, pumpkins!" Twilight shouted, startling everyone.

"But I want to sleep some more." Theo whined.

"Too bad! Now get your lazy butt up!"

"Yes, ma'am."

In no time everyone got up. A guard set a bucket full of water and told us to use it to wash our faces. I was happy that Twilight was prepared and brought food from the palace.

Can't defeat Alex on an empty stomach.

"Alright everyone. Time to head to Stoney Mountain." Twilight announced, just as we finished breakfast.

Everyone packed up and hopped onto their dragons, then flew into the morning sky.

"Another day of battle." Theo sighed.

"Let's just hope this battle goes by easily." Luna responded.

"Yeah, like that would ever happen."

"How 'bout we think of positive thoughts?" Lucas suggested.

Nobody answered.

"Gabby, why are you so quiet?" You haven't said anything since we left." Luna said, changing the subject.

"It's nothing. Just a bit worried about this whole me having powers and everything." I lied and since I sit on front of Theo, Luna and Lucas, they can't suspect anything.

"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll figure it out soon, plus you have your brother to help you."

"Yeah..."

After that talk, we flew in silence.

Minutes later Twilight announced,

"We have reached Stoney Mountain."

Everyone got off their dragon and started to explore the area.

In my opinion, I thought Stoney Mountain was a dark and cold place, but this, this place is beautiful. It was filled with pure nature. Trees, flowers and animals roaming around the mountain. But my question is, why would Alex chose this place instead of his hide out?

"Okay everyone, keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Half of us will go in the other direction. And keep in contact with each other with your communicators." Twilight instructed.

Twilight and her guards scattered on the right side of the mountain, while the rest of us headed left.

"Bunnies!!" Isabella exclaimed and chased after a group of tiny bunnies.

"Isabella wait! We don't know what's out here!" I called out to her as she disappeared into the distance.

"I'll go get her." Luna offered and ran to the direction Isabella ran in.

"How are we supposed to find the other fairies here?" Lucas asked.

"There must be some sort of hidden passage that Alex created." Noah guessed.

"Hey guys! I think I found something! Luna called from the distance.

We rushed over to Luna who was keeping Isabella from running off.

"What did you find?" Jason asked.

"Look for yourself." Luna stepped aside to reveal an open ground. Like a sinkhole, except this one isn't big.

"How did you find this?"  Lucas wondered.

"Honestly I don't know. I was chasing after Isabella and I tripped over something, then the ground opened."

"This has to be where Alex hidden the other fairies." Noah said.

"We should contact the others then explore what's down there." Theo said.

"Twilight should know what to do." I agreed.
