Chapter 3

Gemma ran down the hall to Ms. Moore's Room. Ms. Moore wasn't there. Gemma left to find where she was. She bumped into Pippa and Ann. "We have been looking for you everywhere." said Pippa.

"Let's go to the realms tonight." Gemma couldn't tell them about the creature.

"Sure let's go."

"Great."

Gemma climbed into bed. Pippa just wouldn't leave this night. She finally was able to get her though the door. She made sure it was shut. When they got there the door was partly closed. Gemma quickly opened it, and made sure everything was fine and it was so they went in. They had fun but it was getting very late and they had to leave.

Gemma was lying in bed but she didn't want to sleep. Why sleep she knew that she was going to dream about Kartik again, and she didn't want to now that she knew he didn't like her back. But deep down she wanted to know why he didn't like her. She got out of bed and went outside. She walked all the way down to the gypsy camp. When she was right outside Kartik's tent she decided to go back, right when she was about to leave some of the other gypsies came out. She tried to hide, they spotted her

"Look its Kartik's woman."

"Wonder what she could be doing down here." Some gypsy said with a disgusting grin on his face.

"Nothing I was just leaving." Gemma said as she was going to leave. Then a gypsy said

"Now why would a pretty lady like you leave. You just got here."

"Let go of my hand." She could smell the alcohol on his breath. She kept thinking why did she come here.

"Now give me a good reason to do that." She tried to keep the fear out of her voice; she was having trouble with that because his hand was touching her up the side of her leg, up her side and on her breast.

"Because, I am Kartik's woman." The man just laughed her said that, that didn't mean anything. He tried to kiss her, when a hand came up and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"You should know that it isn't right to try to take someone else's woman." Kartik pulled the man off of her and pulled her close to him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know she was yours."

"Well make sure you don't forget it next time."

Kartik pulled Gemma into the woods. They could hear the whoops and shouts, that the gypsies were making about what they think was going to happen. After Kartik pulled her far enough into the woods, he said

"Go back to your school." Gemma turned to leave, but stopped she was tried of doing what he said, she came down here to ask him something and she was going to do it.

"No."

"What? Do you want to go back to the camp because if you do I'm not going to save you next time."

"Who said I needed your saving. I could have handled everything before you came along."

"Really and the way he was fondling you, was all part of your plan."

"No."

"Ok then, go back to your school."

" No, I came to ask you something."

"If it will get you to leave, ask it." Gemma bowed her head and said in a whisper

"Why don't you like me?"

"What did you say?" Gemma said a little louder

"Why don't you like me?"

"W-what?"

"You know what I said. Why don't you like me?" She lifted her head Kartik could see that she was crying.

"Uhh….."

"Huh. Answer the question is it because I'm plain, ugly, or is it because I can go into the realms and I'm just a little girl that is a waste of your time. What is it? Answer the question."

"I-I never said any of that."

"You don't have to I can tell from the way you act." Kartik was so anger, he never said that and he never showed it either.

" I never showed that, and that is the dumbest thing you ever said! So just go back to your school."

"No, you never answered the question."

"I don't have to answer anything."

"Yes you do just answer the question!"

"Why would you care, you already said what you think, what difference would it make!"

"Because want to hear it from you!"

"I do like you, happy now."

Gemma just looked at him. She was so sure that he didn't like him. She didn't even think about what happen next, she just kissed him. He didn't see it coming either, all he knew was that she was over there and the next minute she was on him kissing him. When the shock was over, he kissed her back. He gradually pushed her on the ground. His hand moved up her leg, up her side to her breast. He cupped her breast in his hand; she moved her hand against his chest. She started to pull off his shirt. He started to pull her dress off. Then he stopped. He got off of her

"Someone is coming. Go back to your school." Then he was gone. She got up and dusted her self off. Soon enough she heard someone coming. She got up and ran. She realized that she was so close to giving up her treasure to Kartik. Then she realized that, that is what she wanted to do.

As she ran, someone came out of the woods and said "So gypsy and the girl love each other. Interesting."
