⚠️I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THE DESCRIPTION SO THIS'LL MAKE MORE SENSE, ALSO PLS READ IT BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!⚠️
GingerBright POV
The same nightmare... Over and over again...
It always starts with me waking up in a pitch black place... Everything is just black. Then, I see her.
"Wake up, GingerBright!"
"Strawberry Cookie, n-no, but you're-"
"I'm right here, silly!"
"Where? It's been 4 years.."
"...Why didn't you save me?"
"I Tried, but-"
"You SHOULD have saved me!"
"I'M TRYING!"
"You're too late..."
Then...
I wake up.
I don't believe I'll ever be able to forgive myself, for what happened... To her.. I know I have no control over it.
*KNOCK*
"GingerBright? You okay? I heard noises coming from in here."
GingerBrave, my brother.
But all those years ago...
"I'm fine, GingerBrave!"
It's been 4 years...
"You sure..?"
I still miss her.
"Trust me."
You're probably Wonder what happened.
I'll tell you..
I was 12,
"Strawberry Cookie?"
We played hide and seek with a pink-haired Cookie.

We couldn't find Strawberry.
Nor, that pink-haired Cookie.
I never forgave myself.
Wizard thinks she's dead.
GingerBrave says he's not sure, but I think he's only saying that so I don't feel bad. Chili Pepper and Custard left, too. Wizard thinks they're dead.
I want to believe she's alive, I still have hope. Though, it's slipping quickly.
I just... Need a sign
-- AT DARK ENCHANTRESSES CASTLE --
3rd Person POV
Dark Enchantress has requested Pomegranates presences
"You wished to see me?"
"Ah, yes, Pomegranate Cookie."
"You've been such a great help, it almost hurts me to do this..."
"... Do what?"
"I unfortunately have no use for you anymore..."
"B-but, Master-!"
"All your duties will be passed to Chaosberry Cookie."
"You can't do this..!"
"Oh, but I can!"
And just like that, Pomegranate was no longer a Cookie of Darkness... What was she to do now? Only thing she could do is wander, for now.
Back with GingerBright!
(Btw sorry for going so fast, this is my first AU)
I left my room, just to see what Wizard and GingerBrave were doing. GingerBrave seemed to be reading something, while Wizard practiced... Magic? I'm assuming.
I sat down at the kitchen counter.
Wizard looked at me,
"What's up with her?"
GingerBrave whispered something to him.
"Oh! Nevermind!" Wizard then went back to practicing.
GingerBrave came over, and sat down next to me.
"That dream again?"
I nodded my head.
"Listen-" GingerBrave began, before being interrupted.
"I'm telling you, she's dead!"
Wizard interjected.
"NO, SHES NOT!" I disagreed.
"Think about it, if she was alive, WE WOULD KNOW!"
"SHE GOT TOOK BY THAT ROBOTIC COOKIE!"
"WHO WAS PROBABLY A FOLLOWER OF DARK ENCHANTRESS!"
"SHE'S NOT DEAD! I CAN FEEL IT!"
GingerBrave got in-between us,
"WOULD YOU GUYS CALM-"
CRASH
"WHAT WAS THAT?" I exclaimed.
"I think something triggered the trap!" GingerBrave replied.
We grabbed out weapons to go check..

We headed outside, and..
"Pomegranate Cookie?!"
We raised our weapons.
"Wait, stop!" She pleaded.
"Why should we?" I asked.
"I-I KNOW WHERE YOUR FRIEND IS!!"
