CHAPTER 2
Peach wanted to retrace her steps. She walked for a while and finally stopped when Rufus ran ahead and suddenly disappeared, he appeared again when he saw that peach had stopped so he beaconed her to join him.
She put her hand through what she felt was a wall of water finally, she entered, there was something like a force field that made the floral hollow invincible, peach had an idea, she ran out of the forest and headed towards her best friend Nickys house, closely followed by Rufus. Nicky Watson was her best friend and playpall, she had pink hair (an odd color) and green eyes, she also had a bossy personality and was kind of mean and unlike Peach, Nicky had her own phone. besides their different personalities they became close friends, which led to their mothers becoming close too.
"hey Peach" Nicky's mom, Layla greeted
"good morning Mrs Watson, can I talk with Nicky please" peach asked
" sure, she's up in her room"
Peach ran up the crystal clear spiral staircase and entered a beautifully furnished room
"hey there" a man's voice said
"Peach!" Nicky shouted and hugged her friend
"this is my big brother, Charles, he came back from college yesterday" Nicky explained
" hello" peach greeted then to Nicky she said
"I need to talk to you"
"Now?"
"yes"
Charles left the room to get some snacks for the two girls
"you won't believe what happened to me" peach started
" what?"
Peach narrated the whole story as best as her little brain could interpret
" it sounds like a dream" Nicky said
"Will you come with me?" peach asked
"yeah, let's go"
They sprang from bed and ran as their little legs could
"Where are you two going?" Nicky's mom asked
" for a walk" Nicky answered
"alright, take Charles with you" Nicky's mom instructed
" What? I don't need babies to babysit me"Charles objected
The three eventually left the house and peach told Charles everything
"did you eat too much sugar?cause you're crazy" he said and peach pouted angrily
A few minutes later they arrived at the spot, peach stepped forward and after taking three steps, disappeared in the eyes of both siblings
"I wanna go too!!" Nicky demanded and without waiting for a reply, ran forward and disappeared
and Charles ran after her
"Nick! don't run off like that!" he ordered and took a look around where he was, it was an oddly Pretty forest, but so far, no magical creatures apart from Rufus
"Is this the place?" Nicky inquired
"yeah" peach replied
" it's lovely" Charles said in a soft voice
Rufus barked and ran forward to peaches arms
"Rufus, where have you been?" Peach asked in an excited tone.
They explored the forest a while but didn't go far as to not get lost, After a few hours,they came out of the floral hollow
"I'm hungry" Nicky announced
"lunch at my place?"peach offered
" sounds good" Charles replied
When they got to peaches house they were all surprised to find Nicky's mom there too
"Nicky how was your adventure, peaches mom, Amber told me everything" Nicky's mom, lavender said
" Mom, you won't believe what we saw" Charles started
They all started talking and narrating the whole thing as best as they could, meanwhile there was someone lurking in the bushes, he saw them go, and he saw them come, and he was not a goodhearted person.
Once they had left the forest, a man whose name was Amory ran into it, he was electrocuted instantly, he screamed in rage and pain, tried again and got electrocuted once more, he opened a book on floral hollow to a page that read
'no human but the pure of heart, generous or truthful can enter the floral hollow'
Amory got angry, threw the book on the ground and left, a few minutes later he came back for it, knowing fully well he can't enter the floral hollow without it.

That night, peaches dad, Lawrence Baker came home from work and peach told him everything
"peach, your too young, but it's time you knew" he said
"know what?"
"peach" Amber started " your father was a former guardian of the floral hollow" she continued
" WHAT!??"
" your mom is right" Lawrence said
" And the blood of the guardians runs from generations to generations and you my dear are not supposed to find out until you were at Least 15 years old" Amber added
" so if I'm 5 and I already discovered the floral hollow this early that means there's evil out there with intentions to attack the floral hollow" peach said
" clever girl" Lawrence complemented
peach blushed making Amber grin
"So what am I to do to stop this evil from... um.."
"invading?" Amber suggested
"yes, from invading"
" Guardians unlock their powers from at least 10 to 15 years" Lawrence said
" but I'm 5" peach added
" that's the problem"
" There's a witch I know around, we'll go to her, she has a potion to help you speed up your chances of unlocking your powers" Lawrence said
Amber and peach nodded though peach understood . 000001 of what he said
"Will it hurt?" Amber asked
" I don't know," Lawrence replied.
After dinner Amber put peach to sleep
" Are you a guardian too? " she asked
" no dear" Amber replied
" okay, well, I love you anyway mom"
" I love you too baby"
★★★★★★★★★★★★
"My Lord" Amory greeted, he was sweating like crazy
"we're you capable of entering the floral hollow? " King Seth asked
".....no my Lord" Amory stammered
Seth stood up from his throne made of heads and in a flash, unsheathed his sword and cut the head of the nearest guard, Amory leaped back in terror, his feet wanted to run, but he'd die if he tried to.
"any information on the chosen guardian that was prophesied to kill me? " Seth asked when he regained his temper
"... nnnoootttt yet .... my Lord" Amory replied, his body trembling
"SO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET OUT AND DON'T COME BACK TILL YOU FOUND ANY USEFUL INFORMATION! " Seth boomed
Amory ran outside the palace and sent guards to find this chosen guardian.
