Don't Back Down Again

Forget Me Not

So! Here I am as promised. Nothing much to say except I had a major headache yesterday and I couldn't focus on anything. I also had school work and bible talk with friends today so I was pretty packed all day. Sorry if this comes out a little late but I am determined to publish this on Starterday before midnight!

Here we go!

"May I offer some drinks? Snacks perhaps?" Lizzette guided the three through the tunnels of the underworld. If Lena wasn't so shocked by Lizzettes polite personality, she would be admiring the caves like Louie.

Louie was admiring all the gems that were forming under the earth. Rubies, sapphire, emeralds, you name it. Louie would have thought the underworld was more fire and lava.

"We're good really," Lena dismissed all of Lizzettes offers.

"Well, if you need anything, be sure to tell me or my uncle and aunt Hades and Persephone." Lizzette chimed.

"Ok ok, what's the catch?" Lena didn't like this one bit. Lizzette kept walking and turned her gaze to Lena behind her.

"Catch?" Lizzette asked in bewilderment.

"Stop the act Lizzette," Lena spat out. She walked closer to her until she was right next to her, "You're telling me after all the things you did to us, you suddenly don't remember?"

"I…. Um…. What things?" Lizzette nervously took a few steps away from the angry duck.

"The potions!" Lena was about to wrap her hands around Lizzettes dainty little neck and choke the living daylight out of her.

"Potions?" Lizzette repeated, tilting her head to the side.

"You gave them a truth potion not too long ago," Abigor suddenly showed up. He was on top of a boulder when the group exited the tunnel. They had entered a large cave that was full of lakes, bridges, and sounds of moaning in pain. It was like they just entered a kingdom underground. Except this kingdom had moans of pain, and lost souls swimming in the water along with a couple of strange creatures wondering around. It wasn't very pleasant to look at if you had a squeamish stomach. Abigor hopped off the boulder and landed in front of everyone.

"The potion got out of hand and it came up with some really bad results," Abigor told Lizzette. Lizzette let out an obvious gasps of shock. Her hands covering her beak and her eye's widening in fear. Louie and Lena were taken back by the reaction. They would expect a snarky response or rude comment. Something that would tell them it was their fault for not taking care of the potion but instead to turn to look at them with sorrowful eyes.

"I'm so sorry the truth potion didn't go as planned. What happened?" Lizzette asked in a gentle and concerning tone. Louie glanced at Lena and they both saw that they had the same look. They were both confused at her sudden kind nature.

"We…. We put in two drops and that made Huey break into song," Louie had to shake off all the shock from his body before answering.

"Oh," Lizzette looked relife when he said this, "I thought it was something much worse."

"Worse?" Louie repeated.

"If not taken care of, my potions can have some severe side effects. But song is common when it comes to taking a bit more than needed," Lizzette explained.
