The Crimson Murder (The Greystone Family Detective) [UNDER EDITING]

Chapter 8

Alec walked beside Anastasia, her orange eyes staring at an orange flower. It was obvious that she liked orange. Alec agreed, orange was a beautiful color.

As they walked, Alec stared at the dirt road in front of him. He glanced over his shoulder. Anastasia had a hearing aid, making her able to hear few sounds.

"Hello, Anastasia," greeted an unknown person. She had long blonde hair and green eyes, a green dress and a green diamond on her head.

"Hello, Ella," Anastasia welcomed her back, turning to see who the person was.

'I thought she was deaf' Alec thought, looking at the Blondie. She waved, she peeked over her shoulder, before turning back to Anastasia and Alec.

"I found a boy. His name is Logan," she said. It may seem as if this story has too many characters, but each weaves a piece of this dreadful story.

"Hi," he greeted, he was confident. He walked in, a red diamond on his forehead. He was wearing a red shirt and red pants.

"Eww, a Red Gemstone!" She yelled, looking away. She turned to Alec, who took a step away.

"You are so rude. I want, and deserve your attention," Red Guy spewed, a vain popping out beside his gem. "Look at me pauper!" He demanded, glaring at Ana.

"I can't hear you!" She shouted back, running into the forest. Alec chased after her.

"Ana!" He screamed, looking around. The forest was magical, vines hung low above Alec's head, little balls of light flipped around. Animals ran across the forest floor.

"Damn it! She can't even- urgh!" He screamed, kicking a tree. As he kicked it, the brittle tree fell over, pointing to a cave. "I can stay there for the flippin' night," he growled, walking into it.

The cave was dusty, cobwebs sticking to the stone walls. It was dark, the misty forest making it cold, he flopped to the ground. It was uncomfortable, sure, but it was all he had.

As he tried to sleep, he began to feel bad, sadness chewing his usual cheerful attitude away. A single tear fell down his face. He didn't move, nor did he make a sound. More tears fell, he continued to lay silently, and motionlessly.

He couldn't much longer. He stood up, his chest ached, along with his heart. He began to explore. Soon, he found a book. The book was huge, and heavy. It must have taken multiple people to carry it to the dirty cave.

He opened the huge book, the dust flying into his face. He cough, wiping his face with his suit sleeve. The pages with thick and rough, 9 diamonds curved into place.

'The  Gemstones are a group of people who posses special powers. The many who live this way, must live in GemstoneVille, thou must live with the curse later upon their worthless family. It is thou's fault. The queen, king, and prince are the only ones who can boss the others. The rainbow colors are important, if all the must die, all thee Gemstones die. The rainbow is exestict, he has died long ago, in the ruins. Thou who reads this book, the Gemstone Bible, are cursed. They shall die the same fate as our leader.
Blue is wisdom. He shall teach our young to live.
Red is greed, no ones a super hero without a villain. He shall keep thou in her place.
Green is power and strength. He shall fight thee wars, and protect each women.
Orange is disgust. She shall teach thou not to stay dirty.
Black is dark magic. He shall murder my children, he will keep thou's blood, till thou has none to share, sacrifices must be made.
White is fear. She shall fear him. As she is weak.
Yellow is fast. Yellow has the speed of a million horses. He can see thee.
Purple is for the power. Thou owns a bloodline as pure as gold, he poses the right to force thee.
Pink is for disguise. Thou may blind in shape shift in to a thousand beasts.
Brown is for wasteful. Thou has a future in for his worthless life.
Grey, he, he is sad.

         I, your ruler, decided to live this way. Now thou may suffer

As "GemstoneGod" concluded, Alec could not wait to finish. So he could look at each diamond. Each diamond was carved a certain way.

The blue was cut into a beautiful rhombus. The different shades of blue swirled in to one. The quadrilateral was shiny, and beautiful.

The red was a square. It was the biggest, it shone in the dim light from the fireflies. The reds twisted into one color meet the middle.

The green was bright and popped out. It was a tringale. The green was dark on the outside, though it got lighter and lighter.

Orange was neon. The darker orange shading each section. It had 6 sides, and was an average shape.

Black was beautiful, it was an ebony shade, white guarding the other side. The shape was a heart. The left side was black, the right white.

The white was also a heart. The left was white, and the right was black. It was cut perfectly, looking magical.

Yellow, it was a rectangle. A vertical  one, the yellow was dark in the center, and spread off into a lighter one.

Purple was strong, vibrant. It caught Alec's eyes. He stared at the precious gem. In awe, he just stared, it was hypnotizing, like his sister (which he forgot he had). It was curved into a beautiful star.

Pink was also mystical, a light pink all around, a deeper one shadowing them all. It was a horizontal rectangle, yellow and pink were both the same length.

Brown was missing

Grey was also missing.

Rainbow was missing, the case it slipped into had a huge crack in the thick paper.

He looked around himself, as if the​ diamond was going to be there. He had just noticed how cold it was, he didn't care.

He had a case.

"Alec!" Elizabeth yelled, her voice riddled concerned.
