Still no word from Flash. *sigh* Okay, here's the next entry. Hope it's alright?
AMY! Stop fooling about! Jenette was mad!
I'm not! I scrabbled for a grip on the mountainside and sent her a puppy dog look that nobody could resist. Help me up?
With a sigh of exasperation, Jenette reached out and hauled me up onto the mountainside. I lay there for a moment as Jenette carried on walking.
Jenette... I moaned. Can we rest for a bit? I'm so tired my legs are falling off!
No, Amy, we can't. Jenette spun around, and she looked more serious than I'd ever seen her. Amy, we don't have long. A month, if that. The world is ending, and this time, we may not be able to save it. Especially if I'm right, and I hope I'm wrong...
Seeing that she wasn't going to let me rest, I sighed and got to my feet. Alright, alright, no need to guilt-trip me! How long till we get there?
Not long now.
We started walking along the ridge.
Are we nearly there yet?
No.
I sighed, humming to myself as I kicked grit into the ravine far below us.
Stop that! Jenette snapped. I stopped.
Are we nearly there yet?
No.
It was getting dark. Man, was I tired! How long had it bin since I'd last slept? I had no idea, but it felt like a million years. Staying awake for a million years isn't really that fun; you start falling asleep as you walk. How long had it been since I'd had fun? Fun was becoming non-existent! A world without fun is a world I don't wanna live in. IT'S SO BORING.
Are we nearly-
AMY! FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, PLEASE SHUT UP!
We walked in quiet for a few minutes.
Shh! Jenette hissed, pulling me behind a rock. We're here!
We stood at the entrance of a huge cave, but I couldn't see inside it. It was so dark! Jenette, for whatever reason, looked frightened. I, the brave and fearless Amy, was not!
Okay, so maybe I wasn't too fearless... or even that brave... but I'm telling the truth about not being scared! Honest!
So, I walked up towards the cave, when Jenette grabbed my wrist. Amy... don't... it's not safe... she gasped, and she was really pale and shaking. I shook her off, irritated.
Okay, what? I yelled. Somehow, you're terrified and I'm not and you seriously cannot be scared of the dark! So stop being a wimp and come on!
What's gotten into you? Jenette asked. Amy!
I wasn't listening. Instead, I was racing towards the cave. It was dark inside, really dark. I began to feel a little panicky. A noise echoed behind me, and I spun around, blind.
J-J-Jenette?
I'm here.
It's dark.
WELL NEVER! Jenette snapped sarcastically. You were the one who wanted to come in here, remember? She sighed. Well, good for you, I've actually been practising using my powers. At that, a tendril of light appeared, growing out from Jenette's finger and lighting up the cave.
OMWthatissocoolwhydon'tIgettodothat? My mouth fell open.
Amy, you need to work on not talking like Flower.
I am not talking like Flower! I turned around and saw the most horrible thing I've ever seen in my life.
AGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHA!
Amy, what- oh. Jenette had seen it too.
And 'it' was the biggest spider I had ever seen in my life.
Now, when I say big, I don't mean tarantula-big. I don't mean big like the spider that's been trying to kill me. I mean big, as in so big it was impossible to watch all of it at the same time.
A horrendous chuckle echoed around the cavern, and the spider blinked it's multiple eyes at us.
AGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHA!
Amy! Calm down! Jenette cried, but she looked petrified.
CALM DOWN? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SEEING, JENETTE, BUT I'M LOOKING AT A HUGE SPIDER THAT WANTS TO EAT ME!
She's not going to eat us, Jenette sighed. Not yet, at least. Isn't that right, Arachne? Jenette raised her voice to talk to the spider.
Arachne?
Arachne was the first spider. She is the queen and mother of all spiders, and she has been imprisoned for thousands of years, Jenette explained.
I gulped.
Then the spider opened its mouth and spoke (its words will be green-gold).
Arachne was my mother, he said. Upon her death I inherited the throne. I am the Emperor. Just short of the words 'fear me', that was the MOST TERRIFYING THING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE.
Gulp.
Did you just say gulp instead of gulping?
DON'T JUDGE ME!
Oh, she won't be able to judge you for much longer. The Emperor's chuckles echoed around the cavern. I whimpered and stepped back. I had never been more scared! It was the scariest thing ever! Jenette sent me a pained look. Time to die, doggies.
The Emperor clicked his pincers and made his way down towards us. Jenette gave a strangled sound almost like a sob. Together we began to back up. We bumped into something: rock. Just rock. No way out. We were trapped.
Amy? I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
No, it's mine. This was a stupid idea. She sighed. I guess this is the end. It's been nice knowing you, Amy. My sister.
Goodbye, I whispered. J-Jenette? I'm scared. I don't want to see the end. She paused, then shook her head.
You don't have to.
The light went out. I wanted to scream, but I didn't. I raised my head, and closed my eyes. If I was going to die here, if I was going to die now, I was going to die bravely. Like a hero.
I didn't feel much like a hero.
Goodbye, Jenette.
And here I leave you. MWAHAHAHAHA!

I've decided it's time to move on, and so I've quit CS. It's been a good three years, but, well, as of May 2014, I don't think I'll be coming back. I'd like to say thank you, to all of you. Thank you for encouraging me, inspiring me, and being my friends. I've had so much fun, but this is the end. Seeing as this is my last visit, I've changed my username back to the original, Rebel Faery. It's a name that I no longer go by, but a name I'll always remember. I'm so sorry to every fan of TIAJNAD, to everyone that read my writing, to, well, everyone. But it's time to move on. To make like Elsa and let it go. (I was still on CS when Frozen came out. It feels like so long ago.)
let it go, let it go, and I'll rise like the break of dawn
let it go, let it go, that perfect girl is gone
here I'll stand, and here I'll stay
let the storm rage on
the cold never bothered me anyway
