Layla's POV
We arrived at the train station, I gagged at the thought of riding one. "Can't we just walk?" I ask no one in particular. "No." Crystal and Silver say simultaneously. "Wow, what good friends." I say sarcastically. That causes them to laugh. "The trains pulling into the station, we better get over there." Bolt says. I can tell he's dreading the ride too. We're both dragon slayers, taught by our parents and we had a lacrama implanted in us. We're, what we call, 6th generation dragon slayers, 4th and 2nd. Crystal and Silver had to basically drag me on while Bolt just laughed at me. We sat down and placed our bags down. "Can someone knock me out when we leave, please?" I ask sounding like I'm pleading. Silver nods. "If that's what you want." He says smiling sweetly like he dose. "Hey dude, could you do the same for me?" Bolt asks. "Sure." He says. "Um, Sil, you might want to put some clothes on before we leave." Crystal says pointing at him. "Hm?" He says as be peers down at himself. "Dang it, not again!" He yells as we all laugh. The whistle from the train gose off. "All aboard!" I hear a conductor say in the distance. "Oh great, here we go." I mumble. "Just do it now, I'm ready."
Silver's POV
"Just do it now, I'm ready." Layla squeaks out. She covers up her eyes as I hit her in the back of the head. She's knocked out cold and lays motionless on my lap. I blush. I hear Crystal giggle and I see Bolt smirk. I go to punch him and then he's out cold, on Crystals lap. She doesn't seem to mind though, unlike me.

Silver's POV
It's been about an hour since we left Magnolia, we have a couple more minutes till we'll be there. I let my gaze move from the window to Layla's face. She's so cute when she's sleeping, actually, she's cute all the time, and sometimes a little scary. I let a small smile spread across my lips, as I kept my eyes on Layla. "You got to tell her soon." Crystal says and I take my gaze to my sister. "What do you mean? I don't like her!" I say trying to defend myself as a light shade of pink gets brushed on my cheeks. She rolls her eyes at me. "Yeah right, I know you like her, you can't keep it a secret for long, you got to tell her." She says. My blush deepens. "Like I said before, I don't like her." I say adding more effect to the last part. "I've seen the way you look at her. You tease her. You're very nice to her, and blushed when she collapsed this morning." She says. I sigh. "Fine, I like her." I admit. Surprisingly she smiles. "Well I knew my theory was right, also, you might want to put on a shirt before we get there." She says pointing at me. "What the heck?! Again?!" I scream. How did I already lose another shirt?! I think as I scramble to find my shirt.

Layla's POV
"Finally! I'm off that death trap!" I yell as Silver drags an unconscious Bolt on the ground. "You were asleep the whole time." Crystal states. Oh right. I thought. "Well I dreamt it was bad." I said crossing my arms like a five year old. Crystal rolls her eyes at my childish behavior. "Anyway, once we wake Bolt up we should go looking for the jewel." Silver says leaning Bolt up against a wooden poll. "Okay, dude, wake up." He says smacking Bolts face lightly. "Wake up!" He says shaking him. "Want me to help? With my magic?" Crystal says. Silver shrugs. "Sure." He says backing up from Bolt. "Water-Ice Flurry!" Crystal yells shooting a mixture of ice and water at Bolt. It wakes Bolt up and he springs into the air. "Aaaahhhhh!!!" He yells. He glares at Crystal. "Was that necessary?" He asks annoyed. Crystal crosses her arms and nods. "Yes, yes it was." She states. Bolt growls quietly, barely loud enough for me to hear. "Well were looking for this jewel right? Then, to make it faster, we split up. Crystal and Layla, and me and Silver." Bolt says taking his usual role as leader. "Fine with me." I say slightly upset I'm not with Silver but hey, I'm with my bestie! "Also, I don't really care, I just want to beat up that snake and go get food." I say. "I'm fired up now!" I yell. I see everyone sweat drop as I jump around like a kid in a candy store. "Well, it's fine with me." Crystal says turning my detection. Without looking back she says. "Meet here at sundown, if you find it, call us." She says hand now on my wrist slightly dragging me.

It's been a couple hours since we split up from Bolt and Silver. Nothing! This is so boring! I'm also really tired! Uhg! "So, are we going to be walking all day or?" I ask me friend. She whips her head around causing her blue hair to whip as well. "You were the one that wanted this job, weren't you?" She said. She is so sassy at times. "Yes, I was, but Bolt and Silver showed it to me so." I said. She giggled. "Hey, why do I feel like I'm sinking?" I think aloud. Crystals behind me a bit. "Oh shot, you've stepped in quicksand!" Crystal says. The sand is now up to my ankles. "Well help me!" I yell. "Ok, Water Jet!" She shouts starting to spray a steady stream of water from her feet. She flew up a couple feet and tried to grab me and pull me out, but it just made me sink faster. Quick sand at my waist I started to push more. We tried untill the sand was up to my shoulders. "If I don't get out of this alive, tell my family I love them." I said. Even if I said that I knew I would survive, but if my theory is right I'll get out of this. "No!" Crystal cried. "Your not giving up, are you?!" She screams. "I'm not, I'll keep fighting and won't give up but, if I don't tell them." I've stopped struggling now. My chin was almost completely covered, I looked a Crystal and I saw tears in her eyes. I smiled, took a breath, and closed my eyes. I felt my face go under and the sand pushed me in a bunch of different directions. Maybe I was wrong. I started to run out of air. No! Don't tell me I'm wrong! I felt my body go limp and I blacked out and now I couldn't even hear the muffled sounds of Crystals screams.
