Marnik: The Lost Jewel of Marnik-✔Completed

Chapter Nineteen: The Oldest Brother

Jacob's POV
I was just trying to get a kapinple when I was ate by the planet. I never knew that was even possible though. I popped up on top of some type of cliff. In front of me where two boys and two girls. They all were younger than me. One of them are about my age. His hair was blond just like the two girls. The girls looked about the same age and exactly the same. The other boy looks exactly like me. Dark brown hair and hazel eyes.  I was super confused about it.

Florence's POV
Hadley, Owen, Lizzy, and Luke all disappeared. Well I don't think they disappeared I think the planet moved them, again. I started looking around asking people if they've seen Owen, but they all say the didn't. My best bet is to probably go look out in the forest or to find Forest. "Forest," I yelled.

"Coming," he called back. Once he got over here he asked, "Do you know where Lizzy is, Florence?"

"I was going to ask you where Hadley was," I replied, "but I think the planet moved them somewhere."

"Well let's hope we find them soon," Forest whispered, "because these kids are going to start getting suspicious."

"Well we need to start to do something," I whispered as we started pushing our way through the crowd.

Hadley's POV
The boy that was in front of us kinda looked like Luke but older. "Wait, Owen," The boy said.

"Yeah," Owen replied sounding confused, "How do you know me?"

"Well my parents said if they were to have another boy they were to name him Owen," the boy started, "and you look like my mom Eliza."

I started to feel tears stream down my face. I think I just found my eldest brother. "I don't know you," Owen whispered, "but you do look a lot like my dad Greg and how do you know my mom's name."

"I think I'm your older brother Jacob," Jacob replied, "One of you must be Lizzy."

"How do you know who I am?" Lizzy yelled pulling out a knife.

"Lizzy, calm down," I yelled pulling her back.

She shoved me to the ground. She ran straight towards Jacob. "How do you know my name?''

The knife was up against his throat now. "My parents said they would name a girl Lizzy," he mumbled.

Owen pulled Lizzy back. I tried to pull the knife out of her hand but I froze in place. "I'm not going to kill anyone you stupid star," I yelled.

"What are you talking about?" Jacob questioned, "What is the star? And Who are you and the other boy?"

"That's Hadley and Luke," Owen replied, "Your other sister and brother."

"Wait we're all related," he exclaimed.

"Yeah," I replied, "we all are siblings. Like the story but the story doesn't know that there were twins."

"Wait Lizzy and Hadley are twins," Jacob exclaimed, "Is that even possible. I thought twins were just a myth. Wait we're all siblings."

"Yes!!" I yelled, "I know it sounds impossible."

"Come here," Jacob replied, "were have you guys been."

We all walked over to him had had a big group hug. "I bet I'll make it to the water first," Luke yelled jumping off the pillar.

"Hey no fair," I yelled jumping off the pillar in a dive.

"You guys really don't know what fair means," Jacob hollered, "do you."

We were all falling towards the water when I heard a voice whisper, he will do whatever it takes to protect you and the others.

Lizzy's POV
When the planet moved us to the top of the tallest pillar I was confused, because there was another boy up here with us. He looked exactly like Luke. I wonder if he is our eldest brother. He said his name was Jacob. When he said my name I pulled a knife  and attacked him. I shoved Hadley to the ground when she tried to stop me. Owen stopped me when I had the knife and was about to kill. Hadley when Hadley tried to take the knife out of my hand she froze. Which I don't understand why she froze. It's not like she was trying to kill me or anyone else for that matter. The star must have thought otherwise though. Luke challenged everybody on who could make it to the water first. We all were falling towards the water when Hadley just stopped moving. I mean she is still falling and everything it's just as if she is frozen on how she can't move her body. "Hads, are you okay?" Owen yelled, "Hadley?"

Hadley didn't answer. She was only a few feet from the water now. Owen started swimming in the air to get to her. Hadley hit the water and wasn't coming back. When Owen hit the water he didn't bother coming back up for air he kept swimming down towards her. When I hit the water I felt stinging all over my skin. I came up got a breath and started swimming back down to Hadley and Owen. I couldn't see them through all the seaweed. I just kept swimming down I didn't care if I could see anything or not. I was going to find Hadley. I need air, I thought, I need air. I felt myself start to get light headed. I passed out and felt myself float up.

Florence's POV
I heard a huge splash in the lake. I had no idea what it was but I did know that someone fell into the lake. I started running towards the lake. When I got close enough I saw Everyone falling towards the water. When Hadley hit the water she didn't come back up. Owen hit and didn't come back up but you could tell that he was swimming down. Lizzy hit and came back up, but went swimming after Hadley. It's been about ten minutes and Hadley hasn't come up yet. Owen and Lizzy has came up only a few times. The other boy was swimming over to the shore. Forest must have seen what was going because he was out there now helping. "Kid, where is the tribe leader," the boy that was in the water with them.

"In the water trying to get Hadley out," I replied, "but what's your name?"

Instead of answering me he pulled out a knife and threw it into my shoulder. I screamed out in pain. A few minutes after I screamed Hadley popped above the surface gasping for air. She started coughing out water. The coughing started to get worse. Owen popped up and grabbed Hadley because she was starting to go under again. She was still coughing up water when they got to shore. Owen started beating on Hadley's back and water started spilling out of her mouth. When it was all out and she was back to breathing normally she saw me. "Florence?" she inquired running over here.

When she got here she pulled the knife out making me scream out in pain again. I wanted to scream for her to stop but I couldn't because I was in to much pain. She pulled out a canteen and started pouring it on the wound. I screamed again. "Please stop," I managed to whisper.

She looked over at me and shook her head no. I knew I continue make her stop but I wish she would.  The pain was horrible, but what I want to know most who the boy was and why he stabbed me. I screamed again. Luke was by us now he told Owen, "Pull her back. Hurry now."

Owen started pulling Hadley back. She tried to fight back but nothing she did got her let go. She started to have tears stream down her face. I think I finally understand why she doesn't want to kill me. She doesn't have the heart to kill someone she loves. "It's all my fault," she cried.

"What's going on?" the boy that stabbed me early yelled. He looked over at Hadley and then at me. "Wait, what happening?"

"Someone stabbed Florence," Luke informed, "Which we don't know if he can heal him again." I screamed again because Luke was pouring more water on my wounded. "Looks like it's infected."

"Hurry up please," I whispered, "Hadley, I'll be okay."

The boy looked from Hadley to me again. He must be connecting some things together. "Wait, who is the boy?" the boy said, "I know his name is Florence. But how is he you know connected to all this? Because whatever he is I stabbed him."

"What?!?" Hadley screamed shoving Owen back and pulling out a knife. She ran towards the boy and put against his neck. She froze in place. "I would kill you if I could but you're lucky because I can't kill."
