My stomach twisted like a thousands hurricanes. I covered my mouth as I gagged on my own saliva. Disgusting... I'm going to throw up.

The original Heather had showed herself once again.

"Hah! Well, do you still think you can survive in my body?" She asked,looking smug

I smirked. "Better than you. You died more than I can count."

"You can still retort despite the given situation." Of course, I can. Weak people don't deserve a place in this cruel world.

"I am not made of metal that can get melted. I am a diamond that can destroy other diamonds. If you think I will back down just because of this, then you're wrong." I faced her, determined. "I don't really care what happened to you. I just want to go back to my original body." I finally said.

"How selfish." She commented.

"Did you just notice how greedy I am? I want everything for myself, you see. I hate it when things don't go my way. So, never show yourself to me ever again."

"Monster." She muttered and disappeared. That bitch.

"–dy..."

"–lady..."

"My lady!"

"Thea..." I could barely see her. My tears were hindering my sight.

"When did I get to my bed?"

"I carried you, my lady. Are you feeling okay now?"

"Ah. Yes..." I mumbled, fiddling with my fingers. "I'd like to be alone for now." Thea stood up, ready to leave the room. "No, no. I'm gonna teleport out of here. Don't come find me. Tell the others." I'm sure Thea understands, Keir, too.

I arrived at where Darius and I trained yesterday. I didn't really know where else to go.

I inhaled the sweet smell of the flowers. I looked around to see a huge tree of tangerines. Those are delicious.

I reached for the ones that were near the ground. Heather is not that tall, I see. This is such a pity.

I heard the grass rustling and footsteps that seem to come closer and closer.

"Are you okay?" That voice. It's Darius.

"Yeah..." I whispered under my breath.

"Don't lie." Why did he even ask me when he won't believe a word I say? "Here."

"What is this?"

"A music box. Open it." My quivering hands reached for the button. I clicked it and music filled my ears. How calming...

It was an instrumental music. 

Two statues were glued to the box, twirling around. The man had a sun as crown and the woman had moon as hers.

"What are these for?"

"Just for designs."

"Oh..."

"Keep it. I don't really need it, anyways. It'll just become rusty with me. It'll be much safer with  you. Take care of it for me, will you?" I nodded at his request, letting myself emerge in the angelic tune.

There were cravings in the bottom of the box.

It said, "To my moon. From your sun."

Hmm... Are they talking about the figures?
