The story Ed heard felt like a fairy tale, but it came to the conclusion of reality no matter how much he didn't want to believe it.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Ed," says Scarlet "I didn't mean to rebel, but I hope now you understand why." Ed grunted and lead Lucas and Scarlet back to the house. "You do believe me, don't you?" Ed didn't answer the question. He didn't say a word even when they got inside. He continued through the house and opened up the attic.
Anne approached Scarlet, "What's he doing?" she whispered. Scarlet shrugged. "Found it." Ed exclaimed. He climbed down the stairs and closed the attic door. Then, the four of them went to the kitchen table.
As soon as Anne realized what it was, she became very protective of it.
"Ed, why do you need this?"
"I don't need it," he replied "she does."
Scarlet was confused, "Wait, why?"
Ed looked at Anne and she sighed, meaning that she had given up, so Ed continued on.
"What is it?" asked Lucas.
"Anne's diary."
Scarlet glanced behind her to see her great aunt leaving the room. "Its beautiful." She said.
It was a teal shade with a gold border similar to Ruby's jewelry box. Ed opened it up and leafed through the pages before shutting it and handing it over to Scarlet. "Everything you'll need is written in there." Scarlet clutched it close to her, "I don't understand." Ed sat down, "She used to be one of them protected too-" Scarlet nodded, "She told me," Ed continued, "And I betcha she told you she had that very pearl and used to talk to her horse all of the time. And then her horse died and she went nearly mad and buried it where we thought no one would find it. But it summoned you and yadah yadah..." Scarlet could only nod, "Y-Yes,"
"But, she didn't tell you what she had gone through and how crazy it made her feel, did she?"
"No, she sort of glazed over it, I guess."
"Well, it's all in there. Brings her to tears with all 'em bad memories. Just promise me the same thing won't happen to you. I'm not getting in trouble with your parents."
Scarlet chuckled, "I promise."
Ed got up, "Now get outta here!"
A.N/ I know, I know... but I'm gonna double update. Things have just been... crazy with my life right now and I don't really want to talk about it but please comment and vote bye.
