Chapter 21
Crystal's P.O.V
Lava, Gabby and I head over towards another room.
"Amethyst?! Leigha?!" I exclaim.
"Max?!" Lava yells.
"Mom?!" Another voice exclaims. I glance at the girls and we head into a room with a giant cell. All four of the kids are in it, but the cell is hanging over a huge pool of lava. I back away from the pool. It's not filled up to the brim, it's about 7 feet below the floor level.
"Gabby, Lava, you two go get the others. I'll stay back and try to think of a way to get them out."
"Alright, be careful." Gabby says and her and Lava leave. I glance up at the cell. 'How the hell are we supposed to get them down?' I look around and see literally no other option then to fly.
"Welp, guess I'm turning into my ender form. Where is the door?!" Amethyst runs over to one end of the cell, which is on the other side. I sigh.
"Ok, where is the key?" I ask.
"Over here where the door is." Max explains. I look over and see that there's a door on the other side of the room. I hear the door open behind me and see Mitch, Adam, Jerome, Rosalia, Ty, Husky and Sabrina.
"Where are the others?"
"Lava and Gabby are taking them to the other side where the other door is." Jerome explains. I nod.
"Ok, so I'm going to fly up there and see if I can try and release them." I explain. Everyone nods. I go into my ender form and fly up to the cage. Once I reached halfway, I suddenly turn out of my ender form and I quickly swing towards the cage. I latch onto the bars and hold on as tight as I can.
"Crystal!" I hear Ty scream. I gulp and try to go into my ender form again, but nothing happens. 'No no no! Abby must've taken my powers away! She must know that we're in here!'
"Mom, grab my wrist!" CJ exclaims and puts his hand out where I can reach it. I grab his wrist and he and Max try to pull me up. I kick and put my left leg up on the ledge and pull myself up onto it with the bars. I look down at the lava and almost lose my balance. 'I shouldn't have looked down!'
"Crys!" I look down and see Ty about to run off and fly up. Just as he was about to, Adam grabs the back of his shirt and pulls him back.
"Ty, I can do this. I don't want to risk you falling into the lava." I slowly start to walk along the ledge and I soon get to the side of the cell door. I look down and see the other door, which is closer to the cage then the other side. 'I might be able to jump down there.' I take a deep breath and jump off the ledge and onto the floor, but instead of landing, I slip a little off of it and fall over the edge. I gasp and quickly grasp onto the edge. I feel extreme heat coming from the lava below me, which is only about two feet away. I move my hand and try and push myself up, but my other hand slips a bit, and I fall closer towards the lava. 'There is no way that I would be able to get myself up by my self!' Someone suddenly grabs my wrist. I look up and see Ian.
"Grab my wrist!" He says. I take my other hand and grab his wrist. As soon as I do, I fall a little and I and see Ian slip a little.
"Ian, If you start falling over the edge, you need to let go." I say sternly.
"Oh hell no! We've already lost you once today and we aren't going to lose you again!" He says through gritted teeth. "Seto, can you help me?" Seto runs up to us and grabs my other wrist. Him and Ian pull me up and I put my leg over the ledge and pull myself up. I lay there for a couple of moments before I stand back up.
"Ok, so me flying up there is not going to work, so there has to be some other way."
"What if we throw the key up there so they can catch it, and then the can jump and we'll catch them." Night suggests.
"Max! Will you be able to catch the keys!" Lava yells up to where the kids are.
"Yeah!" He replies. Jason grabs the keys off of the wall.
"Ready!?" He asks. Max nods. Jason throws the keys up and Max grabs them but almost loses grip. He quickly brings his hand in and they fall on the cage floor. I sigh with relief. Max uses the keys and unlocks the door.
"Ok, you guys jump over here and we will catch you!" Gabby exclaims. Max nods and he jumps down. Quentin catches him and sets him down onto the floor. CJ does the same as Max and Quentin catches him. Leigha and Amethyst look down and both of them lose the color in their face.
"You guys will be fine! Just jump! Quentin will catch you!"
"But what if I end up like you Mom?" Amethyst asks in worry.
"We'll make sure you won't. Just jump!" Ian says. Amethyst jumps down and lands in Quentin's arms. He sets her down and Leigha follows suite. Amethyst instantly runs up and hugs me tightly. I pick her up and she puts her arms around my neck.
"Come on, let's get home before anything else happens." Everyone nods. We head out of the door and head over to where the rest of the group is. I put Amethyst down. As soon as I do, feel another pair of arms go around my neck and almost cut my air supply off. I also feel them out there head on my shoulder. I look to my side and see Ty. "Tyler! I can't breathe!" He instantly let's go of me.
"Sorry." He says. I smile. "I just got worried that you would fall into the lava."
"I know, I was worried too. Anyways, Like I said before, we should get home before something else happens."
====== Time Skip ======
"Ok, so we came up with this plan. We think that you and Mitch should sleep together so he can help you with your nightmares." Sabrina explains.
"But my nightmares aren't even that bad!"
"Crys." Mitch says and crosses his arms. I sigh.
"Ok, maybe they are pretty bad." I say.
"Anyways, I need to talk to you about something." Mitch says. He motions me to follow him upstairs. We head up to his room and he closes the door behind him.
"Ok, so what do you need to talk about?" I ask and sit down on his bed.
"Ok, so we've been talking about this for a while now, and we've been thinking. Maybe we should start looking into moving out and finding a house together with the kids, like a family home." Mitch suggests.
"I guess that sounds like a good idea. I mean, it's also getting a little crowded in this place, especially since Rosalia is pregnant with Axel. We can still use this place for gatherings and stuff too." Mitch nods.
"Exactly. Jerome and I looked online and we seen that there was a neighborhood that was recently built and all the houses are for sale. Maybe we can all buy a house and we can all live in the same neighborhood." Mitch explains. "Plus it's located near here, so we won't have to go far." I nod.
"Alright. We can discuss this with the others sometime this week. Anyways, I'm going to go to bed. Today has been a long day, and a weird one." Mitch smiles.
"Ok. I'll be downstairs in a bit." He says. 'Oh yeah, I forgot about that.' I nod and leave. I head downstairs and head into my room. Sassy jumps up onto my bed as I sit down.
"I heard what happened, are you ok?" She asks and sits in my lap.
"I'm fine. Quentin helped me with my wounds and I have a bandage around my chest. Don't worry, I'll live."
"You say that after you about died twice. Once already when Mitch killed you and almost another when you about fell into lava." She meows.
"But I'm alive. Anyways, Mitch will be in here in a little bit." I explain and put Sassy on the bed beside me. She tilts her head to the side.
"Why?" She asks.
"So he can help me with my nightmares." I explain. Sassy just nods. I get up and head to the bathroom. I look in the mirror. I'm basically a mess. My hair is all tangled and I have bags under my eyes from the lack of of sleep. I yawn. 'I'll just get my shower in the morning. I'm too tired to get one now.' I head out of the bathroom and get into bed. I pull my blakets over me and slowly drift off to sleep.
