Feeding The Flames

TW: Blood,
Xisuma's POV
I had wanted to head to the nether to collect quartz. I also knew that quartz took forever to find and I'd probably be mining for hours. Bringing out my cam account I froze. Right there in the corner you could see a figure slumped against a wall. The walls looked like Grian's infinity room except a navy-ish-black. I immediately noticed the red aura of the nether. Enlarging the screen view of my cam account and there she was. Geminitay. Something was off though, she looked more transparent and she had blood dripping down her wrists, cuts were visible but she never got up, never tried to leave. This worried me. I was about to rush into my nether portal when my communicator dinged.
[GoodtimeswithScar] BOATEM HURRY PEARL HELP
[Grian] Is she ok???
[Mumbo] I'm coming and I'll bring first aid
[ZombieCleo] I'm coming to, Joe grab a boat
[JoeHillssays] Already on it
[Xisumavoid] I'm coming over then I need to tell you something
I responded quickly to Scar's urgent message. Gem, hold on a little longer. We're coming.

Scar's POV
I stared at the floor until someone broke down the door, literally. Impulse ran in, trailed by Joe and Cleo. I rushed them over to the trail of blood and poison. "Oh my gosh, Scar, where is Pearl?!" Cleo asked in a panicked tone. "This way." I said as I led them down a trapdoor. I had found Pearl a little while ago. She had been laying on the floor, a broken glass bottle by her hand. I feared the worst and quickly messaged the other hermits. I had come to two conclusions. On one hand, she could have been attacked, on the other...she could have...tried to kill herself. I shook my head clearing the bad thoughts that came to my mind and helped Cleo bring Pearl into a sitting position. Joe checked her pulse, "She's still with us." He said a small smile on his face. I heard shouting above us. I opened up the trapdoor and ushered the others in. Grian came in first, followed by Mumbo and Impulse. Pearl's breathing was heavy and she had dark bags under her eyes. She had a book near her. I flipped it over, the title was in another language. I sat it down and made a mental note to ask X about it later. Cleo and Grian were on the verge of tears, they were both close to Pearl. Jellie came over and sat on Grian's lap. He gave her a small smile and began to pet her. Cleo sat down beside Grian and stroked Jellie as well. See, I told you it was a great idea to bring Jellie! "What happened?" Impulse asked. "Not sure." I responded, looking back over at Pearl. Her features were saddening, her hair was unkept, the bags under her eyes looked like Grian's midnight alley sky, she was dangerously pale, and her breathing was heavy and ragged.

Pearl's POV
My eyes slowly opened as I sat up. I groaned feeling a pain in my abdomen. When was the last time I had eaten? I was ripped out of my thought process my a figure screaming, "GUYS, PEARL'S AWAKE!" It was Scar. Jellie ran over and nuzzled my neck. I looked around. Joe was putting a blanket over Cleo and Grian; who had fallen asleep, (Scar had woken them up, screaming) Mumbo and Impulse had rushed in dropping blueprints for some redstone machine on the floor, and Scar had his hat off to the side with his communicator on the ground by the table. "Scar, I'm going to kill you if you wake me up screaming again."- Cleo cut herself off as she saw me. Grian ran over and hugged me before letting go as I winced in pain. Well that's what I get when I hadn't eaten in...when was the last time I ate? I pulled up my hunger bar and, yep, zero hunger bars. Grian handed me some golden carrots and I inhaled them, thanking him afterwards of course. "Ok, what happened?" Cleo asked. "Well I walked in and one of my trapdoors had been left open and I cut my calf on that, which was why there was blood and the poison...when I tripped over the trapdoor I fell on top of the splash potion and that's why that was there." I inhaled, "So I tried to clean it up which is why there's glass shards in my hand." I finished getting looks of: ARE-YOU-KIDDING-ME??? As well as: *mental-facepalm*
