She could feel it creeping up her ankle and legs. It was hardening, making it impossible for her to move. A laugh sounded as it went higher.
“Sorry Devin but things must be done. wewe must be taken out of the picture.”
“What did I do, Amber?!”
“You betrayed me! wewe left Sensai, wewe aliiba BACK your Angel's light, and wewe risked everything for one human! That betrayal will never be forgiven!”
“Amber...I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt wewe but I had to save him! He was my brother!”
“You think apologizing will help?! No! It's time wewe payed the price!”
“What do wewe plan to do when I'm gone?”
“Infiltrate. Sensai taught us that. So I'll play pretend.”
“They'll never believe you! They know wewe Amber!”
The crystal was up to her neck now.
“Oh I know. That's why I'll look like you.”
“No!”
“Oh yes. I told wewe everything was mine and would be!”
Amber touched the stolen mkufu on her neck.
“Goodbye Devin.”
“No!”
Devin sat up, panting. She looked around and took a deep breath. She was safe. It took a few dakika to regain her composure.
“Oh that was horrible.”
Devin slipped out of kitanda and over to her cabinet of herbs and potions. She pulled out a mix of cinnamon and vanilla bean, heating up some water. She put the mix in, feeling relaxed kwa the scent. She sat on the couch, feet pulled up. She drank the soothing mixture, a full moon inaonyesha through her window. She heard a knocking sound and waited a few minutes.
It didn't sound again. Devin went to the door and opened it. The mug spilled from her hand, crashing over the floor. A crystallized rose sat in front of her door. A note was attached to it. Say goodbye to your little friends, my Crystal Angel. I'm coming for you.

Now in the Charlie Brown spirit, Robin sat at the kinanda and started playing a couple notes.
"Do wewe know any Charlie Brown songs?" Megan asked as Artemis sat beside Robin.
"Yeah, three, only one has lyrics though." Robin replied, turning the notes into a song.
"Christmas time is here, Happiness and cheer, Fun for all that children call, Their inayopendelewa time of the year" The teen added lyrics.
"Snowflakes in the air, Carols everywhere, Olden times and ancient rhymes, Of upendo and dreams to share." Artemis continued.
"Sleigh bells in the air, Beauty everywhere, Yuletide kwa the fireside, And joyful memories there." Megan added sweetly.
"Christmas time is here, We'll be drawing near, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year..." The three finished laughing. Wally walked in.
"You guys are good singers." He smirked.
"SHUT UP!"
