The room was large, the ceiling domed and vaulted. Starlight trickled in through the glass panels.
Everything was made of crystal, the furniture, the walls and even the bedframe made of the sparkling stone. Diamonds hung in ropes off an ornate chandelier, throwing rainbows around the room. Everything that was not crystal, like the bedsheets and some objects, were made in pure white, like fallen snow.
"Well, if that was the poisoned apple, this must be the glass coffin." Cat thought. "Wow, some coffin."
Soft silk rustled around Cat's ankles as she pulled herself from her bed. White silk swirled around her, like a foaming sea. Her dress was a beautiful gown, light as air, soft and delicate.

 Gently, careful not to step on the skirt, she tiptoed through the room, passing many beautiful objects that glistened in the pale light, until she came to a partition

Gently, careful not to step on the skirt, she tiptoed through the room, passing many beautiful objects that glistened in the pale light, until she came to a partition. Faintly, she could hear something on the other side. Putting her ear up against it, she could hear it better. Music. Someone was playing an instrument. Slowly, she pushed open the door and crept through.


"What do you mean by that, Valerian?" Asked Lindsay in a warning tone.
Valerian glared at them. "Only that your friend here isn't on your side as much as you'd like to believe."
"Oh, come on, she's obviously lying! She's trying to pin the blame on me, so you will forgive her for what she's done! Have you forgotten she literally just poisoned our friend?" Harry was shouting now.
Valerian shouted back. "I did that because I had no choice! Did you have no choice when I saw you kissing Talitha?"
Everyone looked at Harry in shock.
"When was this?" Asked Moira, aghast.
"Never!"
"Actually, in the library just before the last challenge." Said Valerian.

Chaos erupted.
Everyone was shouting and screaming at each other. Both Valerian and Harry took the brunt of the accusations, Valerian accepting her guilt, Harry growing angrier and angrier.
"Fine! So I did kiss Talitha! But none of you understand, she said you wouldn't! Talitha's in love with me and wants to be with me, and... I kinda like her too. She told me that if I helped her make you forfeit the game, I could be with her. But it looks like you didn't need me to do that. Valerian's fixed that fair and square. So I don't need any of you! In fact, I'm going with Talitha right now!"
