A few hours later, Luna woke up. "...Well, looks like I'm all alone once again. Brilliant." she said sarcastically, remembering what she saw earlier. She suddenly remembered something else. ...Wait, gems can be revived! She quickly open up Liam's bag, which was next to her, and got the red gem out. He never said how to, though. She looked at the gem, and saw that the crack was completely gone. "That's weird, I thought there was a crack in there earlier-" She stopped when Liam suddenly snatched the gem off her and quickly grabbed his bag and put it in there. "What the hell were you doing with my bag?!" he yelled at her. "L-Liam?! I thought... that monster... What?!" What's going on?! How's he alive? Liam calmed down a little. "What monster?" he said a little nervously as he secretly took his gem out of his pocket and put it in his bag, knowing it was pretty likely that Luna had seen the other gem in there. "I-it was this massive ball of fur, and it was glowing purple!" Oh my god, is she that stupid? She actually thought that was a monster? "...That was me, idiot." Luna was very confused. "What?"
(She mentioned yasuke) Malani looked around, looking for any signs of Yasuke. She closed her eyes, amd focused. Yasuke..Im here, in the gem realm she thought to him, smiling. Yasuke heard the sudden and unexpected voice of MalaniWhat? Thats great! Where are you? he asked. I-Im with a girl named rosalie. Im in a snowy area with trees,mand a large opening with a large stump. she froze when she saw blood in the snow. Trembling, she raised her arm to point at it
Rosalie looked to where she had pointed. "Oh my goodness. What happened?" She said, running over to the bloody snow. She bent down to see it, and she gasped. "Oh."
"Alice..?" She wimpered Rosalie, eh? I met her.. Yasuke thought. He stood up and looked out the window. He saw Malani and Rosalie walking towards Alice's death scene. "No.." He said under his breath.
She walked through the forest, rubbing her arms. Her teeth chattered lightly.
"Hello?" She called out. "I-Is anyone out there?" Just like a horror movie. Her neck prickled.
Alice? Rosalie said in her head, looking at Malani, then back to Alice. "What happened here? Was this Yasuke's problem?" She asked Malani, frustrated to see how many people were dying.
"Don't you know what my gem does?" he asked her. Luna thought about earlier, whenLiam was explaining to her everything that had happened. "No, yyou never told me. What does it do?"
Alexa heard the faint sound of a hello, but she continued to cry. She was frightened because she didn't know how to survive without Mari. Before Mari had found her she had been in terrible conditions, and she had a hard time in them.
"Y-yes, Yasuke killed alice. He told me in my mind.." Malani said, feeling like her head was going to explode. "He said they had a troubled past..I do know that their parents were killed at a young age, and Yasuke was left to raise her. I want to find Yasuke," she said. Malani saw a tower in the distance. An emerald one. "What the heck is that?" She asked
Liam thought for a moment. I can't really use it now or I'll be tired again. But she knows about Izzy's gem. Hmm... She probably thinks that gem is mine, so it should be fine. "Well, it kinda makes your hair grow really long, turn purple and start to glow. And it kinda... moves by itself? It's hard to explain." "Well, if it's hard to explain, why not just show me?" "Well, I can't. It makes me tired if I use it for too long. It can also make other people tired if they touch my hair." "Oh... Wait, is that why you had all that hair wrapped around yourself? So you'd be tired enough to fall asleep?" "Yeah." "So that must be why I also suddenly began to feel tired..."
"Probably. But we were also tired from all that walking we did, weren't we?" "Yeah, I guess so." She suddenly saw that something in Liam's bag began to glow. "Is that your gem that's glowing in there?" she asked. "Huh?" He opened up his bag slightly, and saw a bright white light. Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no. Panicking, he quickly closed the bag and ran off with it. Luna ran after him. "Hey, where are you going?" He continued to run, without answering her question. He couldn't let Luna find out that he had been lying about not knowing where Izzy was. Luna held her gem in her hand while she ran. She suddenly disappeared, then reappeared in front of Liam. "Why are you-" Before she could finish her sentence, Liam had accidentally bumped into her and the two fell, with Liam on top of Luna. ()
Well, this is awkward, she thought. "Uhhh..." He quickly got back up and ran off in the opposite direction. After Liam got off her, Luna got up as well and ran after Liam again. "What are you running from?!" Liam ignored her, but stopped running when his bag suddenly began to feel warm. Very warm. Oh god... He opened the bag slightly, enough to put his arm in, and tried to get his gem out. But he accidentally touched Izzy's gem, which was now hot enough to burn him. He winced in pain as he took his arm out. He glanced behind him, and saw that Luna had caught up. "Why won't you answer me?!" she asked, not knowing why he was running away or ignoring her.
Liam quickly opened his bag and tipped everything out. The knife and his gem fell onto the ground, but the red gem didn't fall out. Instead, a glowing white blob fell out and seemingly bounced off the ground and floated upwards. Liam quickly grabbed the knife and the purple gem. His hair began to glow as he held the gem. Luna looked up at the white thing, not noticing that Liam had the knife. "What is that thi-" Before she could finish, Liam had used his hair to snatch Luna's gem out of her hand. He had also wrapped his hair around her eyes, so she couldn't see. "What are you doing?!" she yelled as she tried to get Liam's hair off her eyes. Liam then wrapped his hair around the rest of Luna's body so she couldn't move. "Doing what I have to do," he said. He quickly turned to look at the white blob. It was still glowing very brightly, but it now had the shape of someone very familiar. He looked back at Luna. "Because I know you'll end up finding out something that you shouldn't know." He held the knife in one hand, and his gem in the other.
