It's been a few days since Unknown collapsed. Chase stayed by her side day and night, not resting till she was up and well. "Nothing?" Snow the Killer asked as she enters her room. Chase sits on her desk chair that now rested beside her bed. He shakes his head, eyes filled with tears. "Why won't she wake up? It's been a week!" He complains. Snow walks over to him and pats his shoulder. "She'll wake up eventually. Maybe you should get some rest Chase." The male looks at her and shakes his head. "I need access to her journals. I just need that! They have the answer. I know they do." He explains.

Terra sighs. She doesn't know when Jade would wake up, or when she would have her room back. Currently, she's resting in Laughing Jack's room. NOTHING FUNNY IS GOING ON IN THERE. Just a friendly reminder (: "I'll go check them out. I'm sure there easy to open." Snow states and walks over to the door.

"I highly doubt that it would work, it's magically sealed." Chase said, stopping the girl. "It's worth a shot." Terra shrugs as she exits. Walking down the stairs, she opens the secret compartment and pulls out the silver key. "Welp. Time to possibly die! How fun!" Snow said as she makes her way to the locked library. Upon reaching the doors of the library, she rips off the piece of paper she once placed onto the left door and unlocks them.

Stepping into the cold room, which she loved, she notices the amount of books scattered all over the floor. "I'm going to be here for a while..." The pale girl stated as she stares at the books. Closing the door, she locks it and picks the books off the ground one by one. Scanning the covers, she notices the numbers. "Perfect. They're numbered." She says quietly as she finally finishes picking the journals up and placing them into stacks on the table.

"Okay so num - which one is number one?" She asked herself. Some of the numbers had faded. This will be more difficult than she thought. "Guess imma just have to guess." Snow shrugs and grabs the top book from the pile she had created. Opening the wood book to the first page she reads the page out loud.

"This book belongs to Jade Unknown. Please return to it's proper owner. Started 578 CE?! She's been alive since then?!" Snow silently screeched. She sighs. "I'm ready to be locked in this room for years."

Meanwhile...

Chase sits patiently, waiting besides Jade's side. Suddenly LJ pops up. "Hey has anyone seen ice queen?" He asked. "She's in the library. Don't disturb her. She's trying to open Jade's journals." That's when the clown started to freak out. "She's what?! She could die! You said they were magically sealed right?!!" Chase only nods and looks at him sadly.

Running down the halls and stairs, tripping every now and then, he finally reaches the library. Banging on the door, hoping to get a response from the girl he like. "Snow?! Snow?! Ice queen?!!" He yells, still banging the door. Still no response. He bangs harder, he breaks the door down. He looks ahead and sees a female sitting at a table, reading quietly with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Omg. You're alive?!" The female looks up to see Laughing Jack. "How did you get in? I locked the door." He rubs the back of his neck and glances down at the door that laid flat on the ground. "Broke it down..." he said nervously. Snow facepalms herself and mentally reminds herself to get someone to fix it for her.

"I'm fine, surprisingly. Why were you looking for me?" The clown prince shrugged. "Chase said you were trying to open Jade's journals and I got worried." He said, eyes soften as he looked at the girl. She smiles. "Well thank you for caring but I must be alone so, if you could, leave." Terra said as she gave a fake smile. "How can you access them?" Chase looked at her confused. He had came down to see what Laughing Jack had done.

Snow the Killer shrugs. "I just, opened it." She said bluntly as she flips through the leaf pages. "No. It's impossible for anyone to open it! Not even me?! So why can you do it but I can't?!!" Chase yells, furious he couldn't do anything to help Jade.

"Chase, calm the fuck down. Be happy that I open the journals. You said anyone who opens her journals has to have her blessing? Well I might've gotten it when we talked." Chase was confused. "Talk? About what?" He asked. "About my past. My family. Her team. Or when I ripped a page out of one of her most recent books." Snow states.

"Whatever, I guess you're right about being happy that you opened it. Anything?" He asked. Terra shook her head, still flipping through the pages. Suddenly, Soul Stealer rushes into the singular door library since LJ broke the other door, panting. "I would greatly appreciate it if you leave so I can read in peace. So bye bye~" Snow said as Soul rushed in.

"SHE'S...*huff*... AWAKE!" Chase jolts and teleports to the girls room. Snow following him. Soul runs back upstairs and into the room. LJ just went back to his room. "JADE!" Chase screams as he looks at the girl who rested in Snow's bed. "H-hi..." Jade says pained. "You scared the living breath out of me." Chase says holding her hand. "You opened my journals snow~" She says looking at the icy girl. "I know. Chase wants to know why cause he mad he can't but I can~" the girls sticks her tongue out at the boy. "So you need a hand with sorting them out?" She attempts to get out of the bed. "Take me to them please." Snow looks at her worried she might collapse again any moment.

"Maybe you should rest Jade. I don't want you getting hurt or anything." "Its fine. I'm already hurt. As long as i have you guys nearby, everything should be fine." "If you say so. I'm still only up to the first journal. You have many of them. 100-ish I would say."

"Oh? I see. Chase, this requires you to be present. I need you as well Snow." Jade says attempting to stand up on her own. Chase rushes to her side and wraps her arm around his shoulder. Giving her support as the group walked towards the library.

"I'm going to need someone to fix that door..." Snow says as she walks in. "I also need to take that ice wall down. Be right back!" She rushes to her room and unfreezes the ice wall that protected Jade from anyone seeing her. She teleports back to the library. "Alright. So what is this we are doing?" Chase asks the girl sitting her on a makeshift seat. "I'm giving you the ability to view my journals using the least amount of magic i can. It's going to take a while though." She tried to smile, but with the lines all over her face, it wasn't as great as it used to be.

"No. No using your powers in such a state." Chase snapped suddenly. "You do want to help don't you? It will be faster if i give you the ability to help." Jade said calmly. Chase couldn't say anything back. His goal was to bring back the girl he was created for. Bring back her smile. He nodded ashamed of himself. "Now, the two of you, take one of my hands each." Jade said in pain once again. The two did as they were told, Chase blushed as he took her left hand, and snow took her right hand.

Suddenly, a dim glow of pink surrounded the three of them. Jade chanted some incantations, going in and out of the Forgotten Realms language (more on this later. ;P) and English.

—A few moments later—

Jade looked like she was suffering as she did this. The lines on her face and neck glowed brighter and reached further. The incantation finished and Chase and Snow didn't feel any different. "Th-th-there. D-d-d-done." Jade breathed out heavily. "Jade!" Chase yelled catching her as she fell sideways. "You said it wouldn't take much power to do it." "It doesn't. It's just her weakened state that made it seem like it does." Snow sounded cold but concerned. "I-im sorry. I should have told you. Im sorry Chase." Jade said as she slowly passed out. "Told me what?" He said lifting her up bridal style.

"My bed?" Snow asked. "There's a spare room on the top floor right? She won't be waking back up for a really long time.." Chase sighed as he walked out of the library. "Right.. i'll just be here sorting through the journals." Chase nodded as he walked to the room.
