Hey everyone! Enjoy this next chapter, we're gonna cover some backstory.
And a little side note, because I realized that I might have caused confusion with ages. I never found out how old everyone really was, so I made them 16 when I started. So now they are in the 18-21 range. I should have cleared it up sooner, my bad. Anyway, enjoy!

Kids POV:
Mira, the nurse at the school, wrapped up Jade's arms. Her eyes had gotten dark again, but that also could have been lack of sleep. I sighed and rubbed my forehead.
I thought we were making progress. I didn't think she would go as far to hurt herself-okay, that's a small lie, since she did try to kill herself bringing her sisters back. I looked at her...but it was different. Her eyes didn't show sadness, they showed fear, she really was attacked, it wasn't provoked.
"So, what happened?"
Jade took a deep breath. "I was at home...not long after Ruby and Amethyst left, I heard...someone. But when I looked around the house, no one was there. I Suddebly had a shot of pain in my head, then..." she gulped.
"Jade? What happened?"
"I...I crawled out of the mirror..." that got everyone's attention.
"You...crawled out of the mirror?"
"Like that one horror movie?"
Jade shook her head. "No BlackStar. It was...more like my reflection. But...it looked different. My eyes...they were solid green with a yellow cat eye pupil...and it had claws" she looked at her arm. "I don't know if I lost it, or if that actually happened, but...I was terrified none the less"
Ruby and Amethyst went stiff beside me and did glances at each other. "What happened after that?"
"She...she grabbed me and we fought. She managed to get on my back and I tried to get her off. She kept cackling and wouldn't stop. I finally managed to get her off, but she disapeared, but...I could still hear her...laughing at me...and...it got louder..." she paled and took a deep breath. "That's when you arrived...that's it"
Ruby suddenly took a step forward and looked at Mira, Sid and Stein. "I need you to leave. There is something I have to ask my sister" They took a long look at her.
"Alright. It's obvious it's something you don't want us to hear" They left, closing the door.
Ruby sighed and covered her eyes...suddebly, it was obvious that she was crying. Her cheeks were wet.
Jade slowly stood up. "Ruby?"
Amethyst had tears in her eyes. "Ruby, please tell me...that she's not..." Ruby looked at Amethyst. Her eyes were red and starring to puff.
"...I'm afraid...it is..." Amethyst covered her mouth and tears flowed.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with Jade?"
Ruby took a shuddering breath. "Who knows the story of The Monster?"
"I've heard of that story..." I looked at Maka. "It's an old legend, something to keep little kids from sneaking out at night. The Monster was something that destroyed towns and cities-"
"It was a legend...but...the creature was real..."
"What do you mean?"
"Wait..." that sounded familiar. Then it clicked. I looked at Jade. "That'd what your mother said when we fought her"
Jade nodded. "Yes...I never heard the whole story, but...what does that have to do with me?"
Ruby sighed. "The Monster, out mother, was...not always what she was today. She did destroy towns...but...she wasn't sane while doing it"
The silence and realization crashed on us. "Y-You mean...?"
"She was a beast. I heard the whole story. She had no human mind, the magic and dragon took over. Having much power, it established terror and control on the land. It killed so many lives. But her magic kept her from being found" Ruby wiped her eyes and shook her head. "It took her so many years before she could tame the beast...and..." she looked at Jade with tears. "...it seems you possessed the ability"
Jade froze. "W-Wait. I'm-?!"
"You were born, you had a much bigger connection with our mother! You must...that ability must have been passed to you...we figured...that's what mother was trying to do..."
"Do...what?"
My body went cold. "Make another monster. She was making another monster, one she could control without losing a part of her"
Ruby nodded. Jade sat down on the bed slowly. Her eyes watered. She took a shuddering breath "what...what can we do?"
Ruby hugged her arms. "We don't know...but...we need to find out how"
"Kid, you're father. He might know how to-"
"No!" They all looked at Amethyst. "We can't. We remember, our mother told us. She said that Lord Death claimed if she made another monster, he would kill her and it both"
"But Lord Death likes Jade! Maybe he can do something!"
I sat next to Jade and hugged her. She didn't move. "I'm a monster..."
"No, you're not. And we're gonna help you" I looked at everyone. "I will...tall to my father. I won't give out everything, but I will speak to him"
We needed to find out how to help Jade...and somwthing tells me we don't have much time.
There! Some more back story for you. I don't know how long this one is gonna be, but it will not be the last book, I can tell you that. Hope you enjoyed!
