After Ian left her alone on the moon, Grace began shivering, trying to even her breathing. Soren would probably save her...right? She figured that even if she did escape, she wouldn't be able to breathe, so it was the perfect prison for an earthling like her.
She kicked off the ground lightly, smiling slightly because she was on the moon. Grace sometimes dreamed of space, but being there was incredible. She could see earth and her eyes widened, gasping and smiling. She slowly fell back down into the crater and sighed, sitting down.
Grace suddenly realized how weak she was compared to her new friends and enemy.
Ian, Arcadia, Soren, and their siblings were all on a whole different level. She was just weak, normal Grace. She frowned slightly, looking down.
Grace really wasn't anything special... Her parents didn't even want to deal with her anymore. And yet, she had a crush on a guy who is literally out of her league. She smiled sadly and shook her head. She figured she'd never be good enough for Soren...
Grace had felt unneeded and unloved before, but she never quite felt so insignificant. Grace was caught in the middle of a war between Nate and Ian, and she knew she didn't stand a chance.
Grace's eyes widened as she realized she had no clue how much air she had left. She began to freak out, though she tried to control her breathing. She kept mentally telling herself that she'd be fine... But she didn't entirely believe herself. She didn't want to die yet... She was so young and had so many things left undone.
Grace just sat there, anxiously waiting for someone to save her, worrying how much air she had left, and wondering if anyone would come for her at all. Suddenly, Grace began to get dizzy. She began panicking and taking deep breaths.
"No...help..." she said quietly; eyes widening in terror.
Grace began to cry slightly, struggling to breathe and still shivering. She sniffed sadly and tried to breathe, but there was no air left. Her eyes somehow widened more.
Grace decided if she was going to die, she wanted to see the stars and earth once more. She kicked off the ground gently and smiled sadly at the view before she passed out with tears running down her cheeks.
Grace had been unconscious for several seconds before Ian returned. His eyes widened and he quickly teleported her out of her bubble and back to earth. He hadn't thought she'd be out if air and unconscious by now...

In Grace's Head

Grace saw the beautiful earth in her mind, as well as the stars, which was her last view before becoming unconscious. She didn't remember why or even fully realize that she was unconscious.
Suddenly, the thought of Soren popped into her head. She smiled and walked over, hugging him and resting her head on him. She remembered when he kissed her head after Ian threw her off a cliff... She also held his hand a lot that day. She smiled even more to herself.
Next, her mind drifted to her books. She thought of plots and adding dragons... She thought of her next books and what she was working on.
Then her mind drifted back to the moon... Her mind quieted itself, slowing slightly with the lack of oxygen. She just remembered the last view she saw....... The earth and the stars.
