Just Dance: A Tale of Two

~6~

The person then turns around and sees Crystal. They also look down at the ground and see her antlers. They pick them up and approach Crystal. They gently hold Crystal's head. Crystal didn't know what they were doing until she felt the strange sensation of her antlers being reinstalled into her head again.

"Um... thank you."

The person nodded and started to walk away. Crystal got up immediately and grabbed the person's wrist.

"Don't leave. I need to know your name."

The person was silent for a little while, and then they spoke. The voice is female, but it's a little deep.

"You don't need to know my name. Besides, I'm weird."

"No, seriously. What's your Ubisoft name?"

"Critter08?"

"I guess my aunt was right, then."

"Your aunt? Who's that?"

"Highness Nymph. She says that you are an amazing dancer."

"It's nothing. It's just something I do."

Soon, Crystal has a very intriguing question in her mind.

"Okay, so, do you have a Earth name? Aunt Nymph said that you are from Earth."

"Yes, I do. I don't want to tell anyone, because everyone misspells it all the time, and I hate it when it happens."

"You can tell me. I promise not to judge you."

The girl takes a deep breath, pretty anxious and very tense about this situation.

"My name is Krystle."

Crystal's eyes widen. Another girl named Crystal, but with a different spelling? How much worse can this day get?

"Wow. I didn't expect you to have a similar name than mine. My name is Crystal."

Crystal holds her hand out for a handshake. Krystle takes it and shakes her hand. Crystal notices that Krystle has a purple bracelet. This is really starting to get on Crystal's nerves.

"Hey, uh, what is that bracelet you're wearing?"

"This? Oh, yeah. This is my amethyst bracelet. Amethyst is my birthstone."

Crystal's eyes immediately widen when she hears the word "amethyst". She summons her staff and points it at Krystle.

"So YOU'RE the one who is trying to kill the Wood of Wonders, huh?"

"What are you talking about? I'm not hurting anything, I swear!"

"Oh, yeah?! Then tell me, WHAT THE HECK ARE THESE PURPLE CRYSTALS HANGING FROM THE TREES?!"

Krystle looks around the Wood of Wonders. The amethysts are still hanging from the trees, but it's not killing them.

"I swear, I never meant to hurt anyone or anything!"

"Oh you little..."

Crystal proceeded to attack Krystle with her staff, but then when Crystal smacked Krystle in the head, Krystle grew unconscious. Unlike Crystal, Krystle had a bruise forming on the back of her neck. Crystal was shocked.

"Oh no... What have I done..."

She knelt down next to Krystle, and she tried to see if she was still alive. Krystle still had a pulse, which brought Crystal some relief. To hide what happened, Crystal scooped Krystle into her arms and she ran with her as quick but as gentle as she could back to her cabin. Crystal has made a terrible mistake, and she has to fix it.
