we made it out.impossabliy.with two people coughing blood whenever they opened their mouths. I had to trick a couple of guards to let us out but it mostly went smoothly. I know it's now the last we will see of them and we are far from being safe but that's the least important thing on my mind at the moment.

kit lays me down leaning my limp form against a tree. chris places a stumbling jorden beside me.he's gotten worse since we left coughing more and more scarlet liquid. he looks at me.his eyes are pale and almost lifeless as if he was just an empty shell of the jorden he was before. I move closer to him cuddling up against his chest. he lifts his hand playing with my hair." you have no idea what it was like maggie..." his voice cracks "I thought they had killed you" I tense "they did kill you" I whisper. "and I had to watch it" I remember it as clear as day the light draining from his green eyes the way the blood matted his hair into a sickly red mess. "you died in my arms and they dragged me away" "I know" he whispers "how?" I ask I don't know what I'm asking maybe it was how did you know? or maybe the question I really wanted to ask was how are you alive when I watched you die? he leans down placing a kiss on my forehead." I don't know the answer to anything anymore maggie" he tilted my head up so I had to look into his jade eyes "all I know is I choose you and I'll choose you over and over without pause without a dought in a heartbeat for the rest of my days I'll keep choosing you" he smiled slightly a ghost of a smile but still a smile "i love you magnolia Greenberry" he kisses me his lips moving against mine slowly he doesn't have is used well smell of cedar and cinnamon.he smells of blood and sweat and if I must say it death. I don't care though I just kiss him because it is him and he's here and I love him. I get a tingling sensation in the back of my head and my body tenses involuntarily I notice jorden has gone still as well as if awaiting instructions. "him next"  the now familiar voice says in my head. "excuse me" I say to jorden and get up speed walking through a densely packed clump of trees." what do I do when this happens" I whisper picturing the small fox from my dream.the kitsune specializes in mind manipulation and possession. "kill him" the voice hisses again." no" I say simply setting off at a run. I spot a small pound in the distance as I get closer it turns out to be a small lake with a waterful rolling down oven a rock cliff. as I approach the lake I strip from my teeshirt and pants kicking off my shoes and plunging into the black water. as soon as I hit the water it turns the coler of my fire the water around me glowing with it. with my breath held, I dive deeper the urge to kill is slowly replaced by the biting cold. I dive under the waterfall behind it there's a small cave I step out of the water. the air in the cave is warm despite the cold of the water.it glows with an eerie green glow I walk to the wall running my fingers along with the uneven stone. they catch on something cutting my finger deep enough to bleed. I watch as the blood drips from my hand to the floor then the room blazes up in a bright green glow eliminating all the writing on the walls. I walk over to the wall it reads...

if you are reading this I am sorry tell James I'm sorry. the kitsune has it. whoever you are you must know I didn't do it I didn't steal the diamond.
