Chapter 4: Never accept lava chocolates

You can't blame someone for walking away if you didn't do anything to make them stay -Anonymous

December 28, 2015

Sapphire took a hard good look at herself. She took a long deep breath and tried to hold in everything that happened on Friday. Though, she was still angry about what happened. Another mistake like that and she could be exposed. Another mistake like that and not only would she let down her mother, she would let down everyone in her kingdom. She knew that she could have controlled what was going on at the moment but, ran away like a child. She could have fought threw it. Now everyone knew. And she couldn't afford another secret to go out. If she did she knew her mother didn't take things like that well. Even worst from her own daughter. Now she had to fear the worst going to school.

Sapphire was already dressed. She wasn't in the mood to dress pretty or anything. She wasn't in the mood to do anything but scold herself in her unnecessary behavior and the event. She wore a over sized white long sleeve shirt, blue skinny jeans and white boots. When Sapphire was in moods like this she didn't feel like doing her hair. More or less she felt like sniping it off. The ends of her hair were in knots from stress finger curling. Her ends were also uneven from deciding to cut her hair but changing her mind. Her hair looked like messy knots and lairs. Sapphire grabbed her bags and decided to walk to school instead of ice staking.

For a couple of days, Ruby thought about everything her father said. About how she thought Ruby could get a girl like Sapphire. Only he didn't know the weird things Ruby had seen around her. She notice the ice on the floor, change of weather and liquids turned into cold solids. For days she thought it was all in her head but, what if she wasn't seeing things. What if Sapphire was supernatural. She remembered watching supernatural movies and shows with her father and people have said they were real. Like ghosts. But, what if Ruby was wrong. What if Sapphire had nothing to do with what she thought and she was just a normal, attractive girl. Attractive? Ruby stood her head insanely at the thought. Her with Sapphire? She could think less of them being a couple. It just couldn't happen. Well to her.

Ruby walked faster. That's when she noticed a blue headed girl walking alone face down across the street. It was Sapphire. Ruby could tell there was something wrong. Well, besides Sapphire not wearing a winter coat already.

'' Hey.'' Ruby said. Though, Sapphire did respond. 'Is she mad at me?' Ruby thought. '' Sapphire?'' Ruby said now putting her hand on Sapphire arm. Quickly Ruby hand turned frozen and blue. Ruby shook off her hand lip sinking yelling. Her arm felt like she dripped herself in the north pole water.

'' Oh. Hi Ruby.'' Sapphire respond finally.

'' Aren't you cold?'' Ruby asked. Sapphire bit her lip but, sighed.

'' Nope.'' She answered walking somewhat faster. Ruby eyes widened but, then tried to catch up to her.

'' Are you okay?'' Ruby asked.

'' Yes?'' Sapphire questioned.

'' I heard about what Jasper did. Are you mad about that?'' Ruby asked.

'' I-I g-guess. I don't know.'' Sapphire answered. Ruby could tell something was wrong.

'' Are you mad at me?'' Ruby blurted, that's when Sapphire stopped walking. '' If you don't want to talk to me anymore, I get it. It's alright. I'll just-''

'' No!'' Sapphire responded before Ruby could turn around. '' I'm not mad at you. It's just it's been hard for the past few days and I wish I could tell you everything but,-'' Sapphire took a deep breath.

'' But?'' Ruby said.

'' But, It's nothing that concerns you about... It...''

'' Are you sure?''

'' Yes. It's not even a big deal like how I'm making it, anyways.''

'' Alright then.''

Sapphire sat next to Ruby like usual. Only instead of awkward conversations between each other they had something to talk about. It was pretty loud in the room since the teacher was late, so everyone took it a pond themselves to chat away.

'' Hey Sapphire.'' Jasper said approach her and Ruby desk. Of course she had to glare to the right since Ruby sat there. '' I felt really bad about what happened so, I decided to buy you this.'' Jasper pulled out a box of chocolates.

'' Oh, Jasper. That's so... Sweet.'' Sapphire said with a smile. Ruby rolled her eyes.

'' Try one.'' Jasper insisted. Sapphire smiled and tried the middle red one. Well, they were all red just the one she picked was lighter. '' These are the warmer kind. You know the one that's kinda in the outside and hot, steaming lava chocolate comes out in the inside. I microwaved it so, it can be really hot since it's really cold outside.'' Jasper smiled.

Sapphire stopped chowing when Jasper first started with the word warmer. Just the way Sapphire looked. By now everyone was waiting for Sapphire reaction.

'' Y-You said I-it's warm r-right?'' Sapphire asked.

'' Yup! 100% full of hot, steaming warmness you can eat. I heard it warms your insides too.''

Sapphire looked as if she was going to pass out. Instead of her saying something Sapphire ran out. Everyone was shocked and Jasper just stood there.

Sapphire ran to the bathroom and closed the door behind her. She looked in her mirror and already saw her pale skin turning red sweating. Her whole body felt like a liquid. She felt her insides move around like when you drunk to much water and you could here it moving in your belly. Sapphire normal breathing turned into a emotionally strong panic attack in seconds. She went through her bag for anything. Anything that could help her at the moment. She took out her face diamond and called her mother instantly.

'' Yes darling. You know it's truth or frozen night.'' Her mother said.

'' I'M DIEING!'' Sapphire yelled over it. Her mother look fast at her. She saw the sweating, the coloring, her hands linking water. Her mother turned pale a color different from what Sapphire pale color was.

'' HOW DID YOU- I MEAN- OH MY GOD!'' Her mother panicked. Sapphire knew her mother wouldn't be freaking out that much if she was with her at the moment but, when you're in a complete different universe ans you're dieing, fast, that's all you could do beside fate. '' I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?!''

'' HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO?'' Sapphire panicked.

'' BECAUSE I NEVER DEAL WITH THIS BEFORE! THERE'S NOT WARMNESS HERE I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD NEED TO DEAL WITH IT!''

'' DIDN'T YOU STUDY THIS WHEN YOU BECAME A QUEEN?''

'' I WAS 18 AND YOUNG AND PRETTY AND DIDN'T THINK I WOULD NEED IT SINCE AGAIN THERE'S NO WARMNESS HERE!''

'' MOM!''

'' I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY! BARE WITH ME HERE! WHAT DID YOU EAT?'' Her mother asked.

'' LAVA CHOCOLATES!'' Sapphire answered. Her mother looked confused now.

'' What are lava chocolates?'' Her mother asked.

'' THAT'S NOT THE POINT!''

'' I KNOW, I KNOW. JUST FIND SOMETHING IN YOUR BAG THAT COLD TO COOL OFF YOUR BLOOD OR SOMETHING.''

'' HOW IS THAT SUPPOSE TO HELP ME?''

'' I DON'T KNOW! JUST DO IT FOR NOW WHILE I FIND OUT SOMETHING!'' Her mother said and hanged up. Sapphire felt angry which wasn't the best since she was already fired up. She went in her bag and pulled out 3 ice cubes and started to eat them slowly. She could fell her blood heating up faster which could of burn out her skin.

Jasper stood there stupidly while, Ruby didn't know what just happened. First Sapphire was eating chocolates and next Sapphire ran out the classroom looking as if she was going to throw up. Ruby had never heard Sapphire mentioned she was allergic to chocolates. And if she was why was Sapphire surprised when she ate them.

'' You said she likes chocolates!'' Jasper said turning to Malachite angry.

'' I said most people like chocolate!'' Malachite yelled.

'' Well, maybe you should of suggested that instead of saying it like that.'' Jasper yelled back.

'' Well, I didn't know!'' Malachite yelled back.

'' Ya you didn't.'' Jasper said. She then glared at Ruby. '' Did you know?''

'' No.''

'' I bet you did! Just to make me look like a fool in front of her!''

'' Why would I poison Sapphire to make you look like a fool. You already are to her!''

'' What did you say?'' Jasper said getting close to Ruby.

'' I dare you to say that again!''

'' You're. Already. A Fool. To. Sapphire!'' Ruby repeated.

'' You. YOU!'' Jasper shouted. She aimed her fist hard into Ruby left eye. Ruby stumbled back. Everyone gasped. '' YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR LITTLE PROTECTOR DO YOU!'' Jasper kicked hard into Ruby gut and the eye that she already punched. Ruby stumbled to get up, grabbed her bags and ran out the classroom. She was more hurt inside then outside. Hot tears ran down her face, it sting the eye that was punch. She entered the bathroom to see Sapphire pasted out on the cold floor.
