Ok, so my computer has been acting up so it took longer than expected to get this chapter up.

Chapter 12
*Vivian's P.O.V*
I lead them up to mine and Night's apartment. I lead them to my room where my safe was. Night knew his dad would think he had the gem so he asked me to put it somewhere that not even he could get to it. It seemed like an odd request to me, but I agreed to hide it for him.
"It's in there?" Night's father asked looking at the safe. I nodded. He gave me a strange look. "Why'd he trust you with the gem? It's very dangerous."
"He knew that you'd think he had it so he asked me to hold on to it."
He chuckled. "A big mistake if you ask me. Now open it."
I put the combination in and opened the safe. There sitting in the center was the red gem with the purple tint. It was pretty and dangerous.
I grabbed it and ran over to the window. I hung it out of the window. I could easily drop it.
"DON'T!" he yelled. "Get her!" he demanded.
"Take one step near me and the gem meets the sidewalk." I was surprised by how brave I sounded. To bad the inner me was scared to death.
"You wouldn't."
"Want a bet." I let it slip a little.
He glared at me. "What are you waiting for?" he said with a smirk. "Your friends aren't here to safe you and they won't be coming to help you."
"Your all by yourself. Stop being stupid and give us the gem." Dawn said.
I took deep breaths and looked at them. I knew they were right. There would be no one to safe me this time. I would have to do this on my own.
I knew they'd probably kill me, but that didn't matter anymore. I let the gem fall from my grasp, out the second story window.
"NO!" They all, well almost all, yelled. Dawn pushed me out of the way and looked out the window.
"It didn't break." she exclaimed excitingly. "It didn't break."
"Dawn, go get it while we take care of her." Dawn nodded and ran out the door.
I gulped. I'm in trouble now.
*Liz's P.O.V*
We all struggled against the ropes. "It's no use." Kid finally said sadly.
"There has to be a way out of this." I said. I tried to think, but really couldn't think of anything. Then Patty started laughing. "Patty be quiet. We're thinking." More laughing.
"Patty!" Maka said looked over at her. Her mouth dropped. "How'd you get your hands free."
There Patty sat, her body still tied, but her hands free. "Oh, they were hurting me so I just slipped out of them." she said smiling.
"Patty! Untie us!" I demanded.
It took longer for her to untie us then we would have liked, but we quickly ran to catch up to Vivian and the others.
We were stopped by Dawn. She had a gem, which I guessed was the gem, around her neck and had a sickly, hostile smile on her face. "Where'd you think you're going?"
At that moment, we heard Vivian scream. I don't think Kid even thought, he just tried to run past her. She grabbed him and a painful expression spread a crossed his face.
"Stop it." Night said. "Let go of him. I'm the one you want dead."
Her mouth curled up evilly. I saw panic in Maka's face. I didn't doubt that my face matched . She let go of Kid and he fell. "I've been waiting for this chance a long time." she sneered.
She ran at him. "GO!" Night yelled as he dodged her attacks. "Don't worry about me!"
"Come on." Kid said finally getting up and running inside. Maka grabbed me and dragged me inside.
I heard Night. He sounded like he was in pain. "You go. I'm going to help Night."
"But he said…" I ran out before Maka could finish her sentence.
Dawn had a hold of Night and he was clearly in pain. I ran over and pulled him away from her.
She hissed at me. "Better back off." she said. She raised her hand to hit me, but Night jumped up and pushed me away.
"What are you doing?" He demanded as we ran from her.
"Helping you."
"Go help Vivian. I'll be fine."
"No you won't. You're the one in the most danger and we both know it."
"Yes I am. That's why you should get out of here while you have a chance." We stopped to hide and catch our breath.
"I'm not going anywhere." I said.
"Why are you being so stubborn?"
"Why are you being so stupid?"
We stared at each other. He finally sighed in defeat. "You could die, you know?"
I nodded. "I'm not going anywhere."
"Aww, how sweet. You're willing to die with him." Dawn said. She sneered. "I hate sweet." Then she attacked.
That's it for this chapter. Only about 2 or 3 chapters left.
