    A few 分钟 had passed when suddenly Stilere whispered. “There close.”
    Darren turned to her. “The guys?”
    Stilere nodded her eyes closed, but her face was facing a certain direction in the ocean. “So close.”
    I looked at Darren and he nodded at me, I turned and ran to Iris, who looked at me startled. “Stilere says there close, and she positioned in that spot.” I point.
    Iris nods, her face grim. “It’s useless to get them out, 或者 to point them there, I might as well go.”
    “Careful!” I call out as I watch her run and jump into the ocean she disappears before she bobs up again flashes me an okay sign and plunge back down. In pursuit of our only hope for 更多 information.
    Iris
    The first thing I thought of when I plunged into the deep ocean sea was cold. It was so cold, it felt like I had been dumped in ice. The weather outside was nice, normal. This weather, however, under here, is anything but. It has to do with the mystical powers of the book, it just has to.
    I swam through the darkness, and a I felt a chilling foreboding pass up my spine, but I didn’t stop. I don’t know how long it was until I saw this nice chest looking thing, that would have protected our book. I could tell it was old, there were creaks in the wooden thing, and there was a clasp, which was broken. I quickly snatched it and was about to resurface when something else caught my eye.
    It was in the sand of the ocean, half buried, some part of it sticking up. Not thinking about the consequences I reached out and grabbed the thing, it felt cold and hard against my hand and I quickly swam up before I almost drowned myself.
    Not wasting anytime I took a quick gasping breath, and swam trough the swore. Not trusting the calming sea at all, I didn’t want to relive the experience of that storm.
    “Iris!” Brooklyn yelled, running after me and helping me up. “Oh my gosh! 你 scared me!”
    “What?” I ask, dazed. I notice everyone else is here too, running towards me, eyes widened at the things I found.
    “We were searching, we thought 你 had drowned.” Zaria explained, putting a finger to my neck. “Just in case.”
    “I was only there for a like a few seconds.” I told them.
    Abe shook his head, hrowing his 夹克 around me. “More like a few minutes.”
    My eyes widened, and Terry nodded. “It’s the book isn’t it? If not she would’ve drowned. Iris, did anything even hurt after awhile.”
    I shook my head. “I didn’t even notice.” I raise the accessories. “But I found these.”
    “Obviously that is the thing that held our book in mint condition, and your hand is covering the other thing.” Edith said.
    I mumbled a quick sorry and opened my palm to reveal one of the most beautiful things in the world. I heard Stilere take in a deep breath, and everyone inched closer.
    “Wow,” Terry whispered.
    “It’s a…a…” Zaria didn’t seem to be able to say a normal sentence.
    “A diamond stone,” Alex 说 for her.
    “A glowing diamond stone,” I corrected.
    And indeed it was, it pulsated in a glowing light in the same beat of our hearts, which was in sync. It was a bit small, but it seemed very powerful. I hesitantly lifted my hand with the crystal up and in response, the crystal glowed the same sheen as the sun.
    Mikey whistled under his breath. “Yeah, we are so screwed.”
