Here's part 4! Enjoy!!
The final room was a great dome, glittering silver on all sides. The diamond – a gigantic clear one – was floating delicately over a white quartz plinth. Ali started forwards but Sami stopped her.
“Wait! There might be traps,” she warned. As if on cue, a girl drifted down from the ceiling, blonde hair drifting around her face, eyes closed. Ali tipped her head, blue hair swishing to the side. The girl opened her eyes, which were wide, long-lashed, and chocolate brown. The shimmering haze around her evaporated, revealing her outfit – a panda onesie. Prim sniggered. Then the sword materialized in the girl’s hand, and she stopped laughing.
“I am the Diamond Guardian,” sang the girl. Her voice was childlike, echoing around the room, sounding like three girls speaking at once. She narrowed her brown eyes.
“You are thieves!” she spat, and lunged. Ali whipped out her bow and fired, but the girl dodged the arrow and continued her charge. We drew our swords and retaliated, slashing at her, but she wove between all our blows and somehow disarmed us all. Except Ali, who threw her bow aside and pounced on the Guardian from behind. The Guardian toppled over, her sword skidding out of her hand. Ali sat on top of her, looking triumphant. The Guardian struggled.
“I give up!” she wailed, her voice no longer echoing. “Please don’t take it!”
Ali slipped off of her and helped her to stand. She stood awkwardly beside the blue-haired archer, shifting uncomfortably. Ali put a comforting arm around her shoulders.
“We won’t take the diamond if it matters so much to you,” she soothed.
“Can we just take a picture with it?” I asked. The Guardian nodded, and we headed over to the diamond. Cass pulled out her magic camera and held it out. It floated where she left it, and we stood grouped around the Diamond of Invisibility, including the Guardian in the photo.
“My real name is Sky,” she smiled when the photo was taken. Sami smiled back, and Natalie laughed.
“Well, Ali, you were right about the diamond,” grinned Cass.
“For once!” added Prim, collapsing into a fit of the giggles.
Hope you like it! Part 5, coming soon!
