p data-p-id="d0142b3b72e916fff0f7567652c35979""Gem? What do you mean?"/p
p data-p-id="5b66fe70be5b15348c50b77594d813fa""Wait, you don't know what this is?" He suddenly pulled my hand to my face, making me face my secret. A bright pink gem shined it's way to my eyes as I tried to look away. No matter how pretty it was, it doesn't conceal the darkness it caused./p
p data-p-id="d02359ae0b31f7a17ded0a90243626d6""No... yes? I don't know." I then turned away, avoiding the subject./p
p data-p-id="33dba53b8329af9d246c3fe951aae52f""What do you know?" His black orbs stared at mine as he awaited his answer. They were filled with darkness, yet I saw a fire ignite in his eyes. It made me want to know more./p
p data-p-id="83cb963d534c48ca3df778ebdfd82dfd""Well," I muttered. "My mother died when I was born. The doctors didn't understand why; she was in perfect condition while giving birth to me. As they examined me, they found this." I held out my hand for him to speculate the jewel. "They tried taking it out, but it was no use. The doctors told my father that it caused no harm so they left it there. But then..." Suddenly a drop of water fell onto my palm. I quickly wiped away my tears before any more could escape. The boy noticed and started rubbing my back to calm me down./p
p data-p-id="9438172b079707016532559a18263bdb""Hey, it's alright," he confided in me. "Where's that girl I just saw? I thought she was a rebel!" I hiccuped and laughed at his attempt of comforting me. "Finish the story. Let it all out. Get the weight off your chest."/p
p data-p-id="649939146cc04666ca7a01189cfa25d6""Alright." I sat up in my chair and took a deep breath. "The doctors realized that when I arrived, her heart slowly lost its beat. They tried figuring out why... and they finally came to a conclusion." I took in another deep breath while holding back the tears. "Thisem 'gem' /emkilled my mother. The doctors performed an autopsy on her and realized that she also had a gem on her stomach, but something was wrong. The jewel lost its shine and color. They looked at mine which was shimmering and glowing. They hypothesized that the gem acted like a life source to my mother, and when it was taken away by me, she died. The doctors wanted to experiment on me, but my dad fought them back. He even agreed to pay to keep them quiet. Since then, I've been living in the same room every day. I never went outside and my dad never actually tried communicating with me. He made sure that I wrapped my hand. The last time I left it open, I was severely punished. I guess I was tired of being ignored and I wanted to learn more about my mother and that's how I got here." I looked back at the gem and started glaring at its shine. "You see, thisem 'gem'/em... why did it happen? I k-killed my mother. I'm a emmonster/em." I tried to smile through, but I felt tears that were about to fall./p
p data-p-id="20edd759442ae00b1bdc5eb716737535""You aren't." I looked up into his serious expression and his gaze fell upon the gem. He then leaned down and kissed the pink jewel bestowed on my hand. I felt my entire face grow red. "It's not your fault. Your mother... she knew she would die if she gave birth to you. She sacrificed herself for you to live."/p
p data-p-id="16aad4ba8ea930dd19ad0f485271412b""Wait... how do you know that?"/p
p data-p-id="82cb60323329cc88ab3d2013987228fc""Well," he sighed through a smile. "If you're a monster, then so am I." He lifted his sleeve of his vest higher, when suddenly, I saw what I was meant to see. My eyes widened. On his tan skin shone a jewel as red as fire on his arm. It flashed when it got caught in the light./p
p data-p-id="bd8590f6564086ee5d2679ac3da39057""It's beautiful." I whispered. I heard him hold back a laugh as he showed it proudly. "So does that mean you're mother died too?"/p
p data-p-id="4cdfe66e21bb1414c481298730e01063""No. I'm not from here." His eyes then became very distant./p

p data-p-id="bed495b862fec8fb3a9a8ab277b29c60""Well, we came from Homeworld."/p
p data-p-id="633503885090f6731f6e7219ef811070""Homew-" Suddenly, a bright light shone from another room. It made the house's light seem inferior against the new column of beams./p
p data-p-id="707522e94824560bc14ad5daf920824e""Oh crap," the pink-haired boy cursed with a irritated face. "emShe's/em back."/p
p data-p-id="e0a3d9786b69e2e025bc2b2d3a8e0627""Who's back?" He then ran to the source of light. I followed him into the living room, trying to catch up to the boy. As soon as I saw the flash, I stared in astonishment. It seemed that the beam came from some sort of platform. It looked like it was made of crystals. Out of nowhere, I started to see a blurry figure appearing from the light. I looked to the boy, who looked scared as hell. This was trouble. I hid behind a couch before I could see the figure. The first thing that caught my eye was her scarlet red flowing hair. It seemed familiar... wait! She's from the picture! I was trembling, but I don't know if it was from excitement or fear. She wore a suit of armor as a top with a skirt. Hidden in her metal shirt, a jewel that gleamed as clear as the Carribean sea. The turquoise color hid in between her armor. Her body was curvy and don't even get me started on her chest. Her chocolate brown eyes were intimidating and seemed to stare right into my soul. emShe scared me. /emOn her shoulder, she carried what seemed like a giant gem. The glow disappeared when she stepped off the crystal platform./p
p data-p-id="f08eb3607e2b2292ee7129458f52d773""Oh... hey Erza..." the boy forcibly muttered with a smile. "How was the hunt?"/p
p data-p-id="84ad23e073c996b26fd5826b56ee2707""It was fine," the woman named Erza spoke. "I hope you and Gray are still getting along. We can't afford to pay for any more of the damages." Her expression remained unchanged, somewhat hard. Her voice was rough./p
p data-p-id="c8838963f4b4fa022d519dfa277f91fc""Gray? Oh, he and I are theem best/em of friends!" He sounded very sarcastic to me. He then sneakily turned around and pretended to barf. I giggled, making Erza turn her head. I covered my hands to my mouth as fast as I could before she noticed where the sound came from. She then turned back to the boy. "Why didn't you transport that to the gem room?" he asked./p
p data-p-id="baa9c90c3517bd557630283a89829e4b""Only Levy and Layla could do that. emRemember?/em" she said in a lighter tone./p
p data-p-id="59bb704971cdc3c5206041858b18fc52"em"Yeah yeah... I know."/em he pouted adorably. She then mustered a chuckle which surprised me. She was really pretty when she smiled. I leaned in closer to capture her beauty before it faded. The couch moved as I slipped./p
p data-p-id="04b8a42154d223c121e7caf216ae7cc2""WHO'S THERE?!" Erza shouted, her face back to her serious expression. She started sprinting towards the couch. I could feel every sweat drop run down my face./p
p data-p-id="4c00674808f93dfdec613195c2a3c056""Hey Erza! I bet it's just a mouse!" he said as he chased after her. "You can't run after everything that makes a sound!" I tried blending in with the shadow the couch made. I hid my face in my hands as I waited to be found out. Suddenly, I was surrounded by light. I looked up, seeing the couch out of my reach as Erza held one of the legs of the furniture with one hand. emWow, she's strong/em./p
p data-p-id="20413a970773564d29685a0f98f76462""Who are you?" she asked harshly. "Speak now or you're tongue will not be the only thing the cat caught." I swallowed in a gulp as I lost my words./p
p data-p-id="1d69314bb790022a89f1518204c7e4ca""Erza! Stop! She's a gem! She's going to join us!" Natsu screamed as he stood between me and Erza. My eyes grew wide. Wait, I never said that!/p
p data-p-id="8518f478ea38514aa85f547c3baa82b8""I don't remember authorizing any emnew/em members..." she said coldly. em"Explain." /em/p

p data-p-id="708b1a926d08a35216f02b4747695b58""What she's trying to say is," the boy said. "Is that she wanted to join the team and I let her in the house. Won't you at least give her a chance?" The pink-haired boy then gave puppy eyes as he begged Erza. She looked at him, then at me, them him. I must have looked pretty weak. I mean, I was tangled in my own feet on the floor as I trembled. She then sighed loudly before glancing back at me./p
p data-p-id="17b1cfb43556a6694235e4e690913204""Fine," she said as she set down the couch away from me. "Let's see what you can do." Suddenly, her gem started glowing. Erza then reached to her gem and seemed to pull at something. Wait... is that a handle?! She then pulled out a long sword and pointed it straight at me. I almost screamed at the sight of the sharp blade. "Fight me." She stared right into my eyes as she steadied her stance./p
