Explanations
Rose nudged him. "I'm not allowed to talk about it, and you have enough on your mind." She wasn't getting any more info on Red Crow. "Okay. You're right." Splendy laughed. "You're not like this. You're going to look around, aren't you?" Rose smiled. "Maybe..." She had to. He looked at her. "If you value your sanity, don't." Rose laughed. "If I don't?" He shrugged. "Then be my guest. But be warned." She hopped out of the tree. "Thank you Splendy." She smiled, and something flew past her ear. Venom. She was standing on a pressure plate. It had a wire to another tree, and it shot venom. She looked up, and Splendy gasped. "I'll be fine. Go and work everything out." She ran off, and saw Offendy running across another path.She turned, and went inside the house through a secret entrance. She hadn't found it before, and she went into Masky and Hoodie's room. "Darn. It had to be this room." She heard a crash. She ran out, and nothing wa going on. Something appeared in front of her. "Go." It said. Rose had no choice. She saw Masky talking, and EJ was calm. He saw her. "Rose! You okay?" He ran to her. She grabbed him. "Run. He's here." He whispered. Then he let go, seriousness in his eyes. He grabbed her wrist, and ran for the door. Something grabbed him, and Offendy smiled. She turned. "Let us go! You can't hurt us anymore."
He smiled. "Such heroics." She blushed, and growled, getting serious. EJ struggled. He was being held in a tentacle, and he was just stuck there. Offendy let him go. His eyes went black, and he ran out. Nobody moved. Rose gasped, and knew what happened."Jack! She helped us! Ruby helped us!" EJ looked at her. "Huh?" Rose smiled. "It's the only possible explanation. She moved on, but if you are strong willed, you can help a human once in a while. That's what Ruby did!" She exclaimed.
EJ hugged her. "I don't care. You're safe!" She pulled his mask up, and kissed him. He kissed back, but then pulled away. He grabbed both her arms, and pulled them behind her back. Something clicked. Rose gasped. "Huh?" EJ frowned. "I'm so sorry. But we need to to listen." Rose went limp. EJ gasped. "No." EJ groaned. "Rose, please. Just listen." She nodded, hesitatingly. He pulled her up, and she winced. Her side hurt. He grabbed her bad side, and Rose held her tongue.
She sat down, hands still behind her. "This isn't needed. Really." Jane looked at her. Rose looked down. "Good point." Masky stood up. "Rose, I don't know what to say, and neither do the rest of us. Just let Hoodie reach into your memories again. Please." Rose growled. "Stay away from me." Hoodie stood up, and Rose tried to get up. He would only make her worse. Then, she saw something she might never have seen again.
