Diamond's POV
After seeing Elizabeth on the couch I decided instead of going to sleep to clean the room that the old healing power keeper slept. I have never really been in that room because Shadow says "it's too special to mess up before the new healer came." Now is the perfect time since Elizabeth is the new healer. I open the room slowly not to wake anyone up. It was a very squeaky door like one out of a horror movie, which accompanied the cobweb-filled room. The only thing not covered in cobwebs was An old vanity with a small wooden box on it. Maybe if I could get over there I can see what's inside the box. Trying to avoid cobwebs, I get over to the vanity. When I try to open the box I noticed it's locked. If I clean up the room maybe I will find the key. I have to get all my cleaning supplies.
*Time skip brought to you by cleaning*
I clean all the dust and cobwebs but I still couldn't find the key. I find a piece of the cream colored, flowery wall paper that seems to be peeling above the bed. Usually I would think nothing of it, but it was peeling in the middle of the wall. The only natural way wallpaper peels is from the corners, not in the middle of the wall. This means it would have to be cut by a knife or another sharp object. To my luck when I got over there, the key was in the wall. If someone was trying to hide this, they did a poor job. I got the box from the vanity and opened it. There wasn't anything in the box other than a black ring with moons on it and some notes adressed to someone named Herrera. There was another letter but it was mostly scratched out. I tried to find out who there from but it seemed to be scratched out. Maybe the others will have an idea about these letters. I might as well stay up since it's 6:00.(the rest went to bed around 11:00) As I walk past Emerald and Crystal's room and hear something strange. I decide to go investigate and I seen Emerald crying and talking in her sleep. I should stay in here to make sure she is ok. I see that she still has her phone next to her and her ear buds in. I might as well plug it up for her. As I do, she starts waking up. "What are you doing in here?"
"You were talking in her sleep. I came in to check on you."
"Did you hear what I was saying."
"No, not really."
"......"
"What was that?"
"Nothing. You need to go to bed."
If I do go to bed I can't explore the room anymore.
"Actually I was going to clean Elizabeth's new room more."
"Ok. I'm gonna get some more sleep."
I go out of the room and go back to cleaning and organizing Elizabeth's new room.

A/n if you want to read the letters in the box I took my time to write them. BTW any thing with - is marked out.

Dear Herrera,
I know that you love Shadow but you know Ace will not let you. If you and Shadow come with us you can live with him. All you have to do is come in the forest WITHOUT your necklace. If you do not trust us you can wear your necklace. We must talk it over in person though.
Sincerely,
-----

Herrera,
I know ----- has talked to you and you have declined our offer. Let me make it clear right now. If you don't join us it will have bad effects. I know that ----- said we wouldn't attack you if you don't join us, but I will cut you up in an instant. I don't care about Shadow but if you don't help us you may not see the light of day. I have plenty of shotguns and knifes to take you down.
Watch your back,
-------

Dear Herrera,
I am sorry for my companion's actions towards you. He can be very aggressive when things do not go his way. I assure you I will not attack you and I will try to keep ------- off of you.
Try not to worry,

Dear ------,
I am sorry that I couldn't stop ------- from attacking your love. I hope that you will not hold a grudge on him. Although it does not really matter now. All you need to do to stop this madness is return to us. You will get your form back and you will get to kill -------. We all know that he caused this problem. Hopefully you can forgive us, -----

-----,
I hope --- know that I won't
---- ---- to you and I won't forgive you. You may be able to trick others but you won't trick me again.
