CHAPTER 25

SONG: REWRIE THE STARS - ZAC EFRON & ZENDAYA

Lily and Rose landed on the branch as they instantly began to run along the branch to grab a petal having to go further as the petals around them were dying. 

"What's the plan Mum?" Rose gasped for air as there was one last bunch if petals left, the others dead. 

"You're gonna get it!"

"What?"

"I trust you! Jump for it and if you fall I'll catch you I promise." Lily panted smiling as Rose nodded in agreement. "Go get em Petal." Rose ran ahead, Lily still running but slowly down so Rose could go in front. As Rose came to the end of the branch she leaped up in the air stretching out her arm as she grabbed the petal. Aiming for the branch not far to land on as she came close the branch fell as Rose began to fall. She suddenly stopped in the air as Lily grabbed her hand. 

"It's okay I got you." Lily smiled at her daughter.

"Well, well. i would have thought it was going to be you in the position mot your daughter." Joachim spoke to Lily referring to the first time they met. "Give me the petal!" Joachim demanded towards Rose but she shook her head. Sneakily taking her mother's hand and sneaking the petal into it. 

"Give me the petal or your family will die!"

"Never!" She turned towards her mother. "I'll see you soon." she smiles.

"Don't you dare." Lily struggled to keep hold of Rose's hand.

"Bye Mum!" Rose grabbed Lily's wrist pushing her away as she fell away from the Tree towards the river. 

"No." Lily reached out for her daughter as she fell. "Frank! MacGregor!"She yelled out to them tears brimming her eyes hoping they'd be able to catch her with the boat. MacGregor pushed Frank out of the way speeding up the boat as he weaved through the branches hanging over the river. MacGregor slowed down the boat as he got through the branches as Frank rushed to the end of the boat to grab Rose from the water, pulling her carefully onto the boat. 

"Come on kid. Come on!"

"Rose?" MacGregor kneeled down next to his niece cupping her cheeks. Just then Frank picked up Rose carefully handing her to MacGregor as he took his niece into her arms struggling a bit but still held her close, Frank guided him to a platform. "This is where you guys get off." MacGregor steeped of the boat carefully as Frank continued to steer the boat ahead. 

"Rose petal please wake up!" MacGregor sniffled. "Please for me and your mother. Look here's Proxima!" Proxima came up beside him whining when he saw Rose lying there not moving, nudging her face with her nose. 

Lily then swooped in on a vine coming up to MacGregor bringing him instantly into a hug. "I'm sorry." she cried into his shoulder glancing over to her daughter. "I tried to keep hold of her."

"It's not your fault." MacGregor then looked behind him when they heard the engine of Frank's boat still throbbing as they saw him go straight for the wall. 

"He's going to block the river." Lily murmured as they watched him continue to fight of the curses. Just then a voice comes behind them as they turn round to see Prince Joachim.

"Right that's it. This is for Rose." MacGregor walks up to him and punches him right in the face and as the Prince begins to fight back so does MacGregor. MacGregor punched him once more pushing him back into a wall knocking a big piece of ruin as it began to fall before landing on the Prince. 

"He told me to tell you you would have been world enough for him." MacGregor passes the petal that had fallen from Lily's grasp as she was running away from the curses. "But Rose is more world enough for you." The boat crashed into the wall, watching in horror as the jungle took Frank freezing him over with stone.
