Diamond stands towering above you in her massive strength. Her red skin stands next to the orange sky. She roars and makes a reach for you with her large hand.
I dive and roll under her arm.
She roars again in rage. She kicks you away from her, and you land in the middle of the road.
‘Hey Nikolas, could ya help me out here, buddy ol’ pal?’
‘It’s Oliver’ you hear him say in your head. ‘and yes, anything for an ol’ pal.’ Diamond lunges her thick arm at you just as a blue forcefield surrounds you. Her arm crashes into it, rippling the field, but it does not break. She steps back, her anger building.
“WHAT IS THIS SORCERY!!!” Diamond roars.
“That’s the work of Nikolas. Sorry beautiful.”
“I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!” She swings her arms, knocking down a few trees. Caleb is forced to run to a new hiding spot, slightly farther away.
“Yes, but I love you.”
“YOU NEVER LOVED ME YOU LIAR!!” She picks up one of the fallen trees.
“Oh, that hurts, beautiful.”
She leans in close to the forcefield. You can smell her foul breath. “Stop flirting with me you b*****d.” Diamond snarls.
“Sorry, girly. I just love you so much.”
“Prove it.”
“Well, that’s impossible. I would never be able to prove how much I love you.”
“If you love me, kill Paige.” Angel turns to you in shock. Her face showing horror and curiosity. She waits to see what you do. What do you do?
I do not kill Angel, but I say, “I can’t kill her, because she is your sister, and I can’t do that to your family.”
“If you love me, kill her.” Diamond grips the tree harder.
“Sorry, not happening.”
“Then you don’t love me.” She swings the tree at the forcefield. It crashes into it and leaves fly everywhere, some of them catch on fire and flutter to the ground. Smoke now rises up around Diamond, but she doesn’t notice.
“Yes I do! If I love you, then kill Angel.”
“No mind tricks! It’s a simple command. If you love me, kill Paige. If you don’t love me, don’t kill Paige. Those are your options.” She swings the tree again. Branches snap and shatter, adding to the debris around the forcefield. Adding more dust to the already clouded air.
“How about this, I’ll kill Caleb for you.”
“No, it must be Paige.”
“Wait, what?!” Caleb yells from behind his hiding tree.
I go to sleep.
Sorry, no sleeping. You wake up because Diamond is roaring and smashing her arms and trees into you safety field. Each crash getting louder, like a rumbling thunder. Sparks fly from the forcefield with a flash.
I start doing push-ups.
“STOP STALLING, OR I’LL... I’ll… I’ll kill, uh, CALEB!!”
“Why would you kill Caleb?”
“Yeah, why drag me into this?” Caleb whimpers.
