In front of you there was a yard, an old one, covered by ive. There were archs and ancient statues of strong men and beautiful women, broken and lying on the cobbles soil; and dry fountains where the plants were growing up.

And, in the very center, there was the Rose. You didn't know why you know it, but you were sure it was the Rose, the Rose Aggantoss said, the only cure for the Princess.

It seemed to be made of crystal, maybe air, perhaps sunshine. It looked like weak and strong at the same time.

Well... Looks like we've arrived at the place. This must be the center of the labyrinth, right? - said Bruce.

We must be very careful with it, because it looks like it's very fragile!

"And Fluff?" Abigail asked, looking around.

She went near the Rose and began to stare at it, seeing it carefully, as a fallen star o a dream that could finish straightaway.

"Yes, it might be the very center... but how can us carry the flower?

- The old man gave you something to carry it - said Nicholas pointing to the other children - I don't remember who of you, whoever it is you should be doing something now - and he looked angrily at Henry, probably just because he was the nearest one to him.

Nicholas looked at me, and he seemed to be still angry. But that look reminded me it was my turn again. My scissors could cut the rose's steam. I took them from my pocket and approached the rose. It was beautiful, indeed, and I felt a little bad for cutting it.
-If i'm not mistaken, you, Bruce, have the vase which can contain the flower... I'll cut it when you tell me you're ready.

Beautiful indeed mused Esteban smiling after discovering the rose, it has been a short travel yet it felt like it has been ages for the little group of childs to find the rose and save the princess.

Fluff?, the cat was around here? ask esteban listening to Abigail, he has nothing to do with the flower as the only ones capable of transporting the cristal item were the other kids; he pretends to witness everything although, not every day you see something like this..

You're right, Henry! - said Bruce, while preparing the vase to contain the Rose when cut. Then he stepped next to the flower. so as to catch it with the vase.

- Stop you fools! The vase will break the rose! Haven't you ever flushed anything down the toilet? I have done it one hundred  times and apart from fireworks, everything else is shattered! - If you are surprised now, you should have seen janitor's face at the school.

- Now I remember, it isn't you Henry - and Nicholas turned to face Bruce - it is you damn fool! you're carrying the rose container - and Nicholas threatened Bruce waving his little punch in front of his face.

The children had finally found the rose... they could return home. However, Nicholas looked very very angry, he seemed to be dealing quite badly with his emotions.

Apparently Bruce had to carry the rose, so Tommy waited in the back until he had finished. He also saw Esteban and Abigail asking for the cat, why the cat now? He couldn't understand...

Easy Nick smiled Esteban a little drawback by the fury of the other child but very amused for the idea of the firework nice prank by the way; let them take the flower.

Took all the time you need to do it right, it would be a pity if we mess up now that we have get so far...

I guess you're right, but you could have asked more nicley, could you? - said Bruce to Nick, while putting away the vase and drawing out the glass ball Aggy gave him.

Then he stepped near the flower and, before getting any closer, he said:

I know it sounds crazy, but... What if we holded hands? So if one goes back, everyone else will too. Or at least let's stay close each other.

-Well, it's not Bruce's fault... I used the wrong words... I knew we had to use the glass ball, but said "vase" instead, without thinking you also had the one...- I stopped speaking for a moment as I remembered how the shadows had taken Beatrice- Well, the one she left... And yes, that seems a good idea- I continued as i extended my left hand while holding the scissors with the other one, close to the rose.

Nick grumbled something that sounded like - are we girls or what? - but he hold Henry's left hand. Perhaps he was afraid too, maybe he needed some care and attention after all. Perhaps, only perhaps, under his bully expression and manners he was only an afraid child. Let us hope so.

Nice thinking shrugged Esteban taking the hands of the nearest kid as soon as he joined the circle better be on the safe side on this one; after all the creepy things we witnessed a bit of reasurance will be welcome smiled the kind boy waiting patiently to the kids to take the rose and put an end to this wonderful but terrific travel.

Henry was near the rose. The scissors on his hand. And then... a scream: Abigail was yelling.

All of you looked at the place she was pointing at. The door was open and crowed by hundred of those people, the men who had no eyes, only darkness. They were staring at both of you, seeing throught your bodys and your souls.

Henry tried to cut the rose, quickly. But something was around it, a fine layer of something black and hard. He tried to cut it, but he couldn't.

The rose, as a bird, started to rise to the sky and disappeared.

"Look! Here!" Abigail exclamed. She was pointing at a wooden little door, behind a fountain full of moss. It had a woman who wore a vase on her hands, from where a green water struggled to come up. "A door".

I was beggining to feel like we would never be able to leave the labyrinth. Why was this happening to us?

-Oh no! We were so close... What has just happened? Have the shadows taken the flower? Is that even possible?- I asked, at first to myself, then to anyone who could answer to my questions.

When Abigail pointed out the existence of the wooden door and the fountain, I came closer to inspect them. The green water didn't seem very healthy. "We'd better not drink from it..." i thought. Then I approached the door and looked for a handle or something to open it.

Nick cried when he saw the dark people -"the ashes", the name came to his mind as they were burnt, and appeared dusty and grey. He turned to look at the door Abigail was pointing. The fountain didn't make he feel fear as they have got wet before and they almost die drowned, this time it couldn't be worse. So, Nicholas approached the fountain and when he was just about to touch the water he thoght it better and yelled - Bruce! Now it is your time! Use that vase of yours. Then we'll escape dry. Hurry!

Sweet mother of god...mussed Esteban trembling like a leaf when he saw the faces of the people on the door, it was clear they have the less of good intentions, thankfully it looks like there was an scape route and Esteban take his pendant and focused on it, trying to dispel any darkness around them...the less shadows close to them, the better for all..

Pity it could aply to the dark surrounding the rose but it coudl help to keep the dark people at bay or clean any shadow inside the water door they were trying to cut through...

The door had a rusted handle, that looked like a woman's hand.
