The Intertwining Worlds

Chapter 11 FIRE!!!!!!!!!!

"Today, we are on a mission... TO FIND OUT WHO STARTED THE FIRE!!!!" Amethyst declared, pointing up at the ceiling again. "Is that why you wanted us down here!" Hell looked at her with a face that said seriously. "Yeah. DON'T JUDGE ME, MY BOYFRIENDS AREN'T GONNA HELP SO Y'ALL ARE MY LAST HOPE!!! NOW ARE Y'ALL IN OR NOT?!?!" Amethyst snapped, growling a little with a threatening glare. "Were you trying to threaten us! But I'm saying this for all of us! WE'RE IN!!!" Huntress said with excitement.  (she loves inventer.) "Wait bu-OW!!" Hell said getting hit on the head by Huntress. "We're in." Ice said with a slight smile. "Yay! So anyway, let's get to solving the mystery!"

The first person Amethyst was going to ask was Heaven, considering she remembered seeing her in the kitchen before the even occurred. Amethyst skipped to Heaven's bedroom, raised her fist high in the air, and politely knocked on the door. "Heaven~! We need to ask you some questions~" Amethyst murmured. "What.." Heaven said quietly but with anger. "Do you know what happened when the fire started~? We kinda need to know. Also there's cameras in the castle, and I'm fully aware one of my boyfriends are gonna look at the cameras and realize a fire erupted. I have a feeling that person will be Quartz once he wakes up, so I need an answer ASAP." Amethyst said with quick speech, the words racing out of her mouth to the point they were barely audible. "NO! OUT! GO NOW!!" Heaven said with anger.

Amethyst flinched, quickly taking a step back from the door before dashing out of there. The others couldn't do much but follow. The next person was Ice, since she was also in the kitchen. Though, they wouldn't just do it in my the open. "Okay people! If y'all will follow me downstairs with no hesitation and willingness, I would be very pleased!" Amethyst announced, though the 4 became suspicious of her when she said "with no hesitation." "but what if we want to hesitate?" Hell said not wanting to be bossed around. "Because I'll put salt on your flesh and make spiders crawl in your body if you do. Now come on!!!" Amethyst said with a growl as she opened the doors to the basement. "It's not the worst punishment I've ever had!" Hell said with a shrug. Huntress looked at him like he was crazy. "What do you mean worse?!" Huntress replied.

"I mean, it is light-hearted. Regular torturing- I MEAN NOT THAT, isn't really my specialty." Amethyst replied, trying to make a cover up to what she was originally going to say. Amethyst lead the 4 to a pitch black room, though she suddenly flicked a switch. A small, flickering light shined down on a chair. A heavy, metal chair with open cuffs on the arms of the chair and the legs. "Ice," Amethyst began. "Sit in the chair." Amethyst looked at Ice with a serious expression, something that was practically evanesce to the people who knew Amethyst and her playful and kiddy behavior. "Yeah that's a no..." Ice responded. "Too bad." Amethyst instantly replied, suddenly teleporting Ice into the chair. Once her skin came in contact with the chair, the cuffs shot down and trapped her wrists against the cold metal; her ankles were strapped too. "This is really weird..." Ice narrowed her eyes toward Amethyst.

Without warning, Amethyst leaned in closer to Ice and pressed a hand against the chair beside Ice's head. "You are going to answer questions, and if you don't, you will be punished. So.... Do you know what happened when the fire started?! You were there in the crime scene when the fire erupted!!" Amethyst announced, pointing a finger against Ice's neck. "I was with you when the fire started..and plus I'm a ICE DRAGON!!!" Ice said looking at intensely. "Oh..... Uhhhhhh, okay then. You are free to go!" Amethyst exclaimed as the chair suddenly unlatched, freeing Ice. Ice huffed and threw Huntress on the chair. "HUNTRESS, YOU WERE THE PERSON IN THE CRIME SCENE!!!!" Amethyst hollered, looking at Huntress with a suspicious glare. "Look I may have been near the fire and poking it but! I was practicing with my swords before it started! Then when it did start I ran inside and started poking it!!" Huntress smiled ear to ear.

Amethyst huffed before letting Huntress go, too. "Hell, get in the chair." Amethyst said with a frustrated growl. "Okay! I may be the ruler of hell but I HAVE MY LIMITS!!!" Hell sat on the chair. The chair automatically trapped Hell, and Amethyst stood right in front of him. "Now.... WHERE WERE YOU BEFORE THE FIRE STARTED?!?!?!" Amethyst yelled. "Okay honesty I was in my room talking to Heaven. Then you called me down, then I ended up here!" Hell leand back in the chair. Amethyst looked back and forth at Hell's lower abdomen and at his face, trying not to let her lewd thoughts get to her. "U-uh...you sure you aren't lying?" Amethyst stuttered out. "Yeah I'm...WAIT A SECOND! YOU BETTER NOT BEING THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING YOUR THINKING!!!" Hell blurted out once he saw what she was hinting at.

   "LOOK I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ATTENTION IN A WHILE OKAY?!?! NOW GET OUT OF THE FREAKING CHAIR!!!!" Amethyst exclaimed with embarrassment as a light flush crept onto her cheeks. "But if you really want to know ask Heaven!" he got up and left the room. Amethyst's jaw dropped a little as Hell simply ambled out the room. "Uhh.... Cobra, I'm not even gonna attempt trying to stick you in that chair. So what were you doing before the fire?" Amethyst questioned Cobra, narrowing her eyes. "I was in my room!" Cobra smiled a little. Amethyst stood there, feeling completely oblivious to who caused the fire. Not to mention red fire since their castle couldn't produce red fire with any of their machines or gadgets. "Welp, I'm gonna get Desmeon over here. He can tell if someone's lying or not."

   Amethyst quickly left the room and brought Desmeon into the investigation room; he stumbled behind Amethyst. "OKAY, TELL HIM WHAT Y'ALL WERE DOING BEFORE THE FIRE!!! AND SOMEBODY GET HELL BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!" Amethyst announced to the people in the room. Hell teleported into the room by Heaven's magic, who is still in her room. "Oh come on!" Hell obviously did not want to be there. "Y'all start telling Desmeon EVERYTHING. I WANT HIM TO HEAR EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF WHAT Y'ALL WERE DOING BEFORE THE FIRE!!!!" Amethyst yelled at the 4, Desmeon shrinking back a little due to Amethyst's harsh rules. "I'll go first! I didn't do it!" Hell said.

   Desmeon just stood there before turning to Amethyst. "Yeah, he was being honest. He didn't do it." Desmeon said while looking back at Hell from the corner of his eye. "Oh... DO EXACTLY WHAT HELL DID PEOPLES!!!!" Amethyst announced once more. Cobra started to get a little nervous hearing that, and looked down in shame. "I'll go next! I'M AN ICE DRAGON I WOULD DIE IF I DID IT!!!!!" Ice yelled in anger. "Okay, okay!! Sheesh! You're like Quartz when I joke around and accuse him of doing something!!" Desmeon raised his arms in surrender, leaning back a little from Ice. "And you're good, I don't sense you lying." Desmeon added. "I didn't do it!" Huntress said in a calm and relaxed tone. "Kay, you're fine. Now finally, Cobra." Desmeon said as he took a step closer to the snake. Cobra sighed and answered. "I did it...but it was on accident!" Cobra looked down guilt covering his face.

   "Wait.... What." Amethyst muttered to herself. "Oh.. Uh, how do you manage to cause a fire on accident?!" Desmeon questioned Cobra. "I honestly don't know I kinda just happened so quickly and I got scared and slithered to my room...i'm sorry!" Cobra got even more guilty. "Awww, it's okay~! Come here~" Amethyst said with a more baby-like tone, picking up Cobra and cradling him like her own child. "How tho?! You don't have arms!" Huntress said in a curious tone. "HOW DARE YOU!!!" Cobra huffed. "Hey, I've killed people without even touching them or using my magic, so consider that!" Amethyst growled at Huntress. Desmeon just stood in place, watching the show. Meanwhile, Heaven got bored of doing nothing so she teleported to them. "What y'all talking about?" Heaven looked around the room. "Uh, we were investigating the fire that happened in the kitchen, but Cobra already confessed it was him." Amethyst explained to Heaven.

   "Okay?! Come here!" Heaven then took Cobra back and wrapped him around her neck. "Anyway though, whatcha wanna do-*SLAM*" Amethyst said before the door to the interrogation room swung open. It was Revenger, and he looked winded. "Somebody.... Woke up... From their nap. And now they're complaining because one, they were asleep in the middle of the day, and two, because they have a weird taste in their mouth." Revenger said through heavy breaths. "Frick!" Heaven slowly sat down freaking out on the inside. "WHAT?! I thought I got the right potion...." Amethyst whined with a sniffle, storming out of the room as she muttered something to herself.

"Welp, I'm gonna have to do a loooooot of explaining..."
