Zenix stopped running and sat down, still in tears. "Why...why did she have yell at me like that," he said, "I didn't do anything to her..." The cross then began to glow. "Stop crying," it said, "Why did you run from Midnight? Isn't she your friend?" Zenix then looked at cross. "Of course..... I think..." he said, "I don't know.... I guess I kinda got scared after she yelled." "You wanna know what I think," the cross said, "I think you're afraid that it'll end up just like that one time. You do remember right?" Zenix looked more sad as the cross said that, "I don't want to talk about it..." "Fair enough," it said, "But Midnight isn't like her. She just got to worked up and wasn't thinking straight." Zenix wiped away his tears and the scent from the bush faded, "Yeah." "Good. Now go back to her," the cross said and it stopped glowing. Just as their conversation ended, a Braixen crept up behind Zenix. "Hello Zenix," she said. Zenix turned around slowly and saw the Braixen. "Ph... Phoenix?!" he said with a horrified face. Phoenix pinned him down, had her paws around Zenix's neck and started to choke him.
