Fear Confusion Anger All of these were emotions Vibrant was feeling. All from the same question. Why was Dove trapped in the Dark Forest? That scared him. Why was Dove trapped in the Dark Forest? That confused him. Why was Dove trapped in the Dark Forest? That angered him. Her body still breathed, yet she did not move.
