India snapped her fingers, and with a majestic flourish, Silvia, Aaron, Alexas, Silvius, and Isla appeared before her. She sighed audibly, giving them a pointed look that conveyed her exasperation.

Silvia's reaction was immediate and dramatic. "WHAT.IS.THAT.THING?!!?!!" she exclaimed, clutching onto Isla's arm.

India cleared her throat, regaining control of the situation as the crowd of Sirens, Mermaids, and other marine creatures vanished. "I've heard some... rumours... about a certain batch of children stealing from my friend."

Isla couldn't hold back her disdain. "Friend?!?! Sirena?! You call that two-faced monster a frie-"

India cut her off with another snap of her fingers, silencing Isla instantly. "Were you or were you not stealing from Sirena?" India demanded, scanning each of them intently.

Aaron attempted to explain, clearing his throat nervously. "You see-"

India interrupted with a dramatic groan. "Yes or no,kid?"

I groaned dramatically "It was barley stealing! We just...borrowed.. it"

India raised a brow

"Borrowing without asking permission is stealing, young lady"

Isla negotiated, "So, are we supposed to return the gem or?"

India gasped "And she has the audacity to ask-!

Isla wailed "you know what guys?"

"I swear on vaspiea, kid-"

"RUN!"
